    Summary

    “This will mark you as mine,” Ivan says, stepping over and fastening the gold band around Till’s wrist. He looks down at it for a moment, still holding onto Till’s hand.

    Till stares at it as well, his heart pounding in his chest, still not a hundred percent sure he knows what’s going on. Ivan’s never mentioned anything about this before. Despite all his weird teasing and boundary pushing, he’s never brought up making Till his concubine of all things.

    “You know I’m not like you,” he says softly after a moment, swallowing hard.

    “I know,” Ivan says easily, nonchalantly. Like it doesn’t matter either way.

    ***

    In an attempt to protect the servant musician Till from further mistreatment by his sadistic father, Ivan, the crown prince of Anakt, makes a deal with the king. He promises to take a wife and continue the family bloodline so long as Till can be his male concubine. As the day of the wedding looms over them, the childhood friends are forced to finally confront feelings they've suppressed and ignored for years.

    I love this. Perfect amount of angst, tension, and the ending is really satisfying

    Summary

    So Sebastian had the worst possible opinion of him. At least that should make Haley see reason that just because two guys turned out to be gay in the same valley, it did not mean they were in any way attracted to each other.

    Which was of course why the first thing Haley said to him once they sat together in their next class, was, “He’s so attracted to you!”

    “How did you get there from ‘I think Alex is a meathead jock'?” Alex sighed, rubbing his temples. “I overheard all of that, by the way.”

    “Good, then you must also have heard how he praised your good looks!”

    “You mean when he said that I’m way too concerned with them and it made me stupid?”

    Haley waved her pencil about, like a teacher trying to explain a difficult concept. “It’s about reading between the lines!”

    “Look - I’m not good at reading the lines, period. I’m not sure what you want me to find between them.”

    “Love!” Haley proclaimed, throwing her arms up. “And a handjob!"

    This might be one of my favorite sebalex fic. They are so wholesome, and the entirety was so heartwarming.
