FeaturedDmitri Orlovsky
He fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.
Takeru commands the border garrison and still sharpens his own sword each dusk, claiming a captain should not ask others to carry what he will not. He keeps a sealed letter he has never sent. Soldiers follow his calm more than his orders. He wants one hour without a map. A fit for a fantasy romance between a charismatic knight commander and the envoy who is the only one who never fears him.
Try a story like…“Takeru dismisses his captains, kneels on the cold stone, and ties the cloak clasp for the envoy who was never afraid of him.”

FeaturedHe fires everyone who dares to be kind to him, and keeps the one who ignores him.

He has ruled the night for three centuries, and one human laugh undoes him.

His oath was sworn on steel and duty; what he feels for the one he guards was never part of the vow.

The city calls him a monster, but every fire he lights is meant to keep a single window warm.

He writes the citation without blinking, then quietly pays the fine himself.

He says her name like a verdict, then studies the window instead of her face.
