The Prince’s Crown: Chapter Four
Fantasy/Romance. Forseti attends the Silver King’s fae revel.
Rated E, M/M. In Victorian England, a young and sickly Norwegian immigrant, Ansgar “Forseti” Borson, quarrels with his father over what his future is to be.
The man is stern, cold, and distant, and never seems satisfied with anything Forseti pursues, seems disappointed with every facet of him and yet will never explain why. In secret, Forseti escapes these punishing expectations by dedicating himself to something very unorthodox indeed: magic.
Forseti woke with the rise of the sun and moved slowly from his bed. He coughed quietly and felt the burn in his throat and chest from smoking the cigarette even while he’d slept, but there was a beautifully sweet taste in his mouth, strange although it was. He was dizzy as he stood to his feet, and as he supported himself on the edge of the bed his other hand went to his forehead, feeling the dampness of it beneath the back of his hand.
