A man living with a life-threatening disease finally died, but not before wishing to God that everyone else in the world feel even an inch of his pain of being isolated in a hospital room. God granted him that wish, and so... he became the first person in the world to carry the most devastating virus on Earth.... more>>

Returning with accolades after securing victory for his empire, Great General Ning Wei is faced with the arduous task of dealing with the imperial court and its petty schemes. As frustration over his situation mounts, the prestigious Yan household offers an unexpectedly favorable alliance.... more>>

Ning Wei finds himself intrigued by the young head of his newly-allied household, Yan Yixuan. But Yan Yixuan’s words seem to have hidden meanings and his behavior with Ning Wei too indulgent for an ally. After schemes are concocted and hurdles passed, will the great general finally find the answers he seeks from the one who waylaid him?
____________

While establishing the pact between their households—

Yan Yixuan: I will protect and support your household for you. Any injustice done unto you will be as if done unto me, and any favors you owe will now be mine to repay. Do you agree that you will show me the same regard?

Ning Wei: ……

Why does it sound like a marriage vow?! No, he's thinking too much.

Ning Wei: Yes, I agree.

Yan Yixuan smiles brilliantly as if having obtained something priceless.

Ning Wei, inwardly: Why do I feel like I just signed over my soul? I must be imagining things again…

Yan Yixuan, inwardly: I can finally be close to my Ah-Ning! Let’s see who will dare to bully him now.

The other court officials: We don’t dare, we don’t dare!

Soon, the entire capital is flooded with the news of their flamboyant courting (the oblivious Ning Wei: Our flamboyant what?!) and then blinded with their shameless displays of affection (the smitten Ning Wei: I’ve been corrupted by a certain irresistible little fox).

The bullied officials: If that demon of a duke told us his intentions earlier, would we have offended the general?! Great General, forgive our insolence!

Ning Wei, looks at his lover: Did you do something for me behind my back again?

Yan Yixuan: *smiles innocently*

Ning Wei, chuckles and rubs his head affectionately: Cheeky little fox. <<less

Welcome to the serial Lyra's Magnum Opus. The entirety will be uploaded here.

Summary:

Sana and Tetsu are musicians in Tokyo. One day, they meet over social media and their lives are changed forever. A love begins to form, and as they get closer, a secret is slowly being uncovered about Sana by Tetsu. It's a secret that Sana's band Lyra is desperate for no one to know. The secret is that Sana is very sick, and has been for a long time. When Tetsu finds out, he only loves him even more. When Sana's illness causes him to have a heart attack soon into their relationship, everyone's world is upended. He becomes gravely ill, and his long time doctor reveals to them all that his illness is and always was terminal. When Tetsu vows to take care of him no matter what, he shocks his family and friends. This is the story of that devotion between them. It is a story about family, friends, music, dance, food, tradition, and powerful love.

The story follows Lyra through the Japanese music industry. From their struggles as independent musicians in visual kei and admiring others who have "made it", to them "making it" as evolving jazz musicians and the problems and joys that go with it. As Sana gets steadily worse as time goes on, Tetsu's love for him only grows. The future is bright, but also scary. Other band members chime in with their own narratives, their stories richly told. The world of Lyra is vast, so much to tell. A large, incredible journey. The story of that journey, of loving Sana and supporting him, is Lyra's magnum opus: their greatest triumph as a band.

As the story goes on, LGBTQ issues are also explored. Tetsu is a traditional Japanese performer called an "onnagata". He struggles with stereotypes and his own journey as a non-binary person. There's Sana's own struggle with living as a stealth transgender man in an industry where's there's eyes and rumors everywhere. There's bisexual erasure, even by close friends and family. There's the problems and expectations with often conservative Japanese culture and LGBTQ issues.

Through it all, there's Sana's journey through the Japanese medical system. His treatment and medical issues are explored, as well as how the medical system treats Tetsu as his husband.

It's a long story, but if you stick with it you will love it. Will you join us?

Author's note:

Currently in the late 300's in chapters. Btw, if you like the manga/anime Nana this is for you. Same kind of maturity in writing, themes, etc. It's just also got LGBTQ characters. It also reminds me of the Japanese drama 1 Litre of Tears. There's definitely comedy as well, but it's going to make you cry. I've been writing LGBTQ stories for over 20 years. It gets good, promise.

Btw, I'm not sure this is "boys love". Hmm. It features a transgender male character who is pretty androgynous in gender identity. Then there's the other, who is AMAB and on a non-binary journey, but still prefers male pronouns at the moment. So, what is this? You decide.

Will upload one chapter per day unless people get impatient, because you know, I've got a backlog of over 300 chapters. It grows constantly. Will you ever get to what I'm currently writing? <<less

This is a story about the villain's rise from street rat to tyrant, and his ill-fated romance with the golden-eyed hero.... more>>

Fifth Lord Hwan Jun is destined to be the People's Lion, the righteous hero who must war with his heart to save the world. His healing hand and gentle temperament is the only power in the world that can tame his beloved monster.

When fate draws hero and villain together, there's an unlikely and undeniable connection. They are destined to be devoted lovers. And destined to be mortal enemies. 

This is their story. From their first meeting in the Imperial city of Hanjuyang to their final confrontation on the bloody battleground. Spanning across four nations, the realms of the living and the dead, and over twelve beautiful and painful years.
