"What reason has my pretty master to be so anxious?”
"Don’t call me that.”
“Pretty?”
“Master. I am your *husband*."

Their relationship is so messy, but nothing will keep them apart 😩

Characters are from We Were Men Once, a dark romantic MM fantasy.

Only read if you're ready for all sorts of aching yearning.

“Dearie me, what exquisite misery you carry. Such captivating sorrow. And so much rage. How delicious.”

This is Auntie Patty, a Gloom Hag who harvests people's souls to sell them on the infernal market. And baby, business is a-booming!

Thank you! 😁 He was a dark elf who made a pact with an archdevil (for story reasons). He tried killing his patron by blowing both of themselves up. Too bad they were both reborn in Hell, only he was now a devil in service to the archdevil and with no memories of his past life.

Suneelon loves reading books about magic because it fascinated him in his previous life as a dark elf with no magical abilities of his own.

I wanted to show Kyarlin worshipping Suneelon after their passionate moment. Suneelon craves attention and Kyarlin loves giving it. Kyarlin spoils his princess a lot.

A moment where Kyarlin and Xaraan met at 19 and 18 years old, before Xaraan had made a pact with an archdevil that would drag his soul to Hell. We Were Men Once runs entirely on yearning 😩

Cerberus appears in the mid-novel climax as the guardian of a swamp. The area is dedicated to punishing the wrathful and the sullen, based on the Fifth Circle from Dante’s Inferno.

Same dynamic. Kyarlin falls in love the same way he falls off a chair.

We Were Men Once is a dark romantic fantasy inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice and Dante’s Inferno.

For absolutely no reason, here is Suneelon in a lacy sheer dress. He doesn't seem very happy about it, but I'm sure Kyarlin is.

Many thanks to @sourstripes.co for working with me again 🥰

He was never going to love this man—not when he could use him. A devil was incapable of love, and whoever chased after one, looking for it, would find themselves turned into something equally corrupt.

This time WITH the art 🤦

What happens when the person you'd burn the world for forgets you entirely? WWMO follows one man who descends into the depths of Hell to save his husband’s soul… only to find him turned into a devil—and, worse yet, with no memory of his past life.

"Cold settled in and the world moved on. He stood alone, waiting.
Always waiting."
