Summary
In the steam-laced hush of a bathhouse, Hans Capon finds himself teetering at the edge of something he was never meant to name. Between the heat, the wounds, the silence, and the ache of withheld confessions, the heir of Rattay and his blacksmith-squire discover that desire, once spoken—even in the quietest breath—can never quite be taken back.
A nightingale has begun to sing, and neither man can pretend not to hear it.

Summary
In the golden sands of Ancient Egypt, Pharaoh Akhenamkhanen’s health is fading, and his son, young Prince Atem, must swiftly prepare to assume the throne before it’s too late. Amidst rising tensions with Libya, fate intertwines his path with a mysterious young Libyan peasant—moon-skinned, soft-spoken, and far more than he appears. Atem's heart aches to protect him from the cruelty of their world.
But the peasant, now a slave under royal rule, has dreams of his own—dreams that don’t necessarily include the prince. And while war looms and childhood fades, both must navigate love, duty, trauma, and the weight of destiny.
This is the untold past. Before the Millennium Puzzle. Before Duel Monsters. Before everything we thought we knew about Atem and Yugi... there was Heba.

Summary
Metropolis pulses with heat and noise and danger—and Kal is its storm, all red eyes and recklessness, burning through the night with no one to answer to.
But even storms fall.
When Clark collapses in a back alley, ribs cracked, breath failing, it isn’t his mother who finds him. It’s Oliver Queen. A stranger in the wrong place at the right time, with too many secrets and a soft spot for broken things.
Oliver takes him in. No questions. No judgment. Just a warm bed, clean sheets, and a quiet offer: Stay.
But healing isn’t easy when your skin still hums with fury and your soul doesn’t know who it belongs to.
Kal doesn’t cry. Kal doesn’t need anyone.
Clark… might.

This is not the fire of strength. This is the fire of regret.
And it remembers you.
