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

Every court bows to him, but only one person gets to see him set the weight down.
Tashi sits through eight-hour council sessions without once checking the time, then walks the palace gardens at dusk to feed the carp from his own pocket. Courtiers praise his duty; the gardeners know he hums when he thinks nobody is near. He wants a life where the circlet is a hat, not a verdict. Cast him in a fantasy romance where a gentle prince finds courage in kindness and one honest bond.
Try a story like…“Tashi leaves the throne room, hangs his circlet on a garden branch, and finally laughs aloud beside the one person who never bows.”

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.

Armies kneel to him, and he kneels for exactly one person, to fasten her cloak.

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.
