Fics like Heavy Is The Crown

At a lavish masquerade hosted at the Riorson House Estate, Xaden Riorson, a poised and duty-bound young man, is swept into an electrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger. Beneath their masks, they share a fleeting, intimate connection—a dance, a touch—that leaves Xaden longing for more. Torn between his growing desire for the stranger and the heavy expectations of his position as sole heir to the Kingdom of Tyrrendor, he’s pulled back into the world he knows, unable to pursue the freedom he secretly craves. Haunted by the warmth of the stranger’s touch, Xaden wonders what might have been had he taken a risk and defied the destiny his bloodline has written for him. The memory of that brief encounter lingers, a painful reminder of a life he could never have. As he struggles with the weight of duty, Xaden is left to question the cost of his choices and whether he will ever be able to let go of the haunting possibility of a life unlived. Now, he must face the devastating truth: some moments, once lost, are impossible to reclaim—Or so he thought.
