Summary
In a world where soulmarks appear as magical script written in the language of one’s soulmate, Caleb Widogast wakes to find drow glyphs etched into his skin—ink-dark, unfamiliar, and impossible to ignore. Across the border of empire and dynasty, Essek Thelyss bears a matching mark in harsh Zemnian script, hidden beneath glamours and politics.
Neither can read their own mark.
Both know exactly what it would mean to translate it.As war, guilt, and forbidden magic bind them closer, their soulmarks begin to react—glowing in danger, resonating in spellwork, and pulling two men together who believe themselves unworthy of destiny. With empires watching and old sins casting long shadows, Caleb and Essek must decide whether soulmarks are a sentence… or an invitation.

Summary
In this darker AU of Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Percy Jackson arrives at Camp Half-Blood already shaped by violence, survival instincts, and a lifetime of learning how to endure without breaking. At fourteen, nearly fifteen, he is no wide-eyed hero—he is guarded, dangerous, and deeply suspicious of gods who arrive far too late to save anyone.
Accused of stealing Zeus’s Lightning Bolt and hunted by monsters, Percy is forced into a world that seems determined to use him as a weapon. At camp, he forms reluctant bonds—starting with Grover’s quiet loyalty and growing into something far more complicated when Percy draws the attention of Luke Castellan, an older camper who recognizes Percy’s anger, restraint, and loneliness all too well. What begins as mentorship and protection slowly turns into something warmer, sharper, and far more dangerous.
As grief, attraction, and resentment intertwine, Percy must decide who he trusts: the gods who claim him, or the people who choose him. This is a story about corrupted innocence, slow-burn romance, and the thin line between being forged into a hero—or becoming something the gods should have feared from the beginning.

Summary
When Caleb Widogast, a guarded transmutation scholar with a talent for fire and self-restraint, enrolls in an advanced magic theory course, he expects long lectures, sharp debates, and the comfort of anonymity. What he does not expect is Essek Thelyss—a brilliant, gravity-focused arcanist whose presence bends more than just the Weave.
Their first meeting is accidental and quiet, marked by a single moment of public defense when Caleb speaks up against a prejudiced remark aimed at Essek. The act is small, but it changes everything. For Essek, it is rare and disarming to be seen as a scholar first, not a spectacle. For Caleb, it is the beginning of something dangerous: caring.

Summary
Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.
Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.
