So... Riven kidnapped the magnanimous King of the Aer Folk because a magical book containing the soul of his deceased sister told him to, but that does not make him crazy, not at all. After all he only wants to revive his sister, since her death is (sort-of) his fault. Where does Vlad land in all of this, you ask? Well he is that poor, kidnapped King who is now curse-bound to a freaking lunatic. But our wonderful King Valadrius is not sad, not at all. And he is definitely not falling in love with his kidnapper, or kissing him, no matter what the curse tells him to do. --Temporary Cover--An extended first draft of the long-listed 2026 ONC novella 'Vlad is Not Sad'Rated MATURE due to depictions of violence, strong language, diverse sexuality (BL), and/or other mature themes. 17+ Genre: Fantasy-RomanceCopyright © Since 2026 short_flame…
