《The Best Gay Reads of Wattpad [Being Edited]》Black Velvet by mythmouth

Black. GOSH DARN VELVET.
As one of the first reads I've read on Wattpad, and one of the best, Black Velvet is the first story I thought of to start off Best Gay Reads.
My first impression of Black Velvet was that it was, and is, one of the most poetic, profound, well-written stories I've ever read. I still stand behind that. It starts off strong with a really interesting plot and continues that way. Am I making sense? Because it's great.
The characters, Tobias, Oliver and others, are well developed and multi-dimensional. No side character is useless, each character, main or not, is important, relevant, and unique. One of the many reasons I like Black Velvet is because author mythmouth utilizes side characters so well, not to mention just charming and unique main characters.
I also really enjoy the just about perfect grammar mythmouth utilizes in all of their stories. I'm a slut for perfect grammar, and I actually learned a lot about my own writing style from reading and re-reading Black Velvet. Something that I noticed mythmouth does that really intrigues me as a reader, is placement of dashes and commas. Dashes are used frequently to make sentences longer but more fragmented, which actually depicts internal thought or speaking very realistically in my opinion.
RE 👏🏼 SPECT 👏🏼 Love it. 💖
Continuing on!
I love the plot because everything is so intentional (at least, it seems that way ☺️). Never a boring chapter, even if the pace is very relaxed. There are a lot of fluffy scenes that I absolutely adore, as well. Conflicts are all well planned, led up to, and executed realistically. Cliché's are killed. You will feel everything that happens here.
Now, Black Velvet is now currently only on the author's patreon, however it is well worth supporting the author and such a great read! The author also has a couple other stories on their profile so be sure to check those out!

I will post the summary and cover of Black Velvet and other amazing reads by here so that they are easier to find, and so that you can look through them without having to actually do a search just yet.
So here's Black Velvet . . .
mythmouth has also written (equally stunning) stories such as
• The Blue House of 1478
... which I'm COMPLETELY ADDICTED TO. I just love the dynamic between the three of them to the point where I don't know what to do with myself. There's also a lovely flower motif (if I'm using that word right) in which the meanings of all the flowers are brought up constantly. It's just too cute!
• And When Love is Bitter
This one is extremely poetic, but very short. Still worth the read!
All are definitely, definitely worth reading. You can find all these stories here, https://novel2u.net/author/mythmouth, or on the author's patreon!

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line. Cover by Ben Arisson, who is also a wonderful author on this website!
