Summary
Thirty years ago, Xornoth was possessed by Exor. After killing their parents and rising to the throne, they imprisoned their brother, unable to kill him without killing themself.
But now, they've figured out a way to dispose of him. Send him to an arranged marriage with their oldest enemy, the Ocean Empire, and let them deal with him however they see fit. With thousands of years of tension between the two kingdoms, it won't be long before they decide they don't want him around anymore.
Jimmy just wants peace for his people. And if marrying some recluse prince is the key to finally ending the feud between their empires, he'll do it. But his new fiance is far from what he was expecting, and slowly he begins to wonder if there is something more sinister going on within the walls of the isolated elven kingdom.

Summary
Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.
He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.
Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?

Summary
Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.
"Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."
--
"You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."
He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.
"For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."
