Vers / Verse / Versatile / Switch

Where there are usually characters that are exclusively a “bottom” or “top,” these works feature a character that switches position. Traditionally, this would refer to someone who is versatile, but the word “switch” has also been used. Please note, the use of “switch” here is not the same as the use of “switch” (in reference to a change of dom and sub dynamics) within the BDSM community or universe.

Marry Me, Prince!

Emery Ursus is known as the Rose of Ursus within the Loren Empire. As the only legitimate son of the militaristic dukedom of Ursus, his future is set in stone. Unfortunately, as the heir, he’s forced to marry a woman and produce heirs, though it’s an open secret within his family that he is gay. But in exchange for the power and easy lifestyle, it’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make. It becomes even more of a boon when it’s announced that his bride-to-be is none other than the sole Imperial Princess Hermine Loren.

To ensure he’s the right husband for the princess, the emperor has asked that Emery come and stay in the capital for a set time before planning the wedding. Emery is only that much more excited, as this is his chance to explore and enjoy the capital and the men there. However, in the capital, the only man he is interested in is the second Imperial Prince, Gideon Loren. There’s a magnetic connection between the two that is inexplicable, but before they have the chance to explore this connection, Emery is murdered by none other than his illegitimate brother in a plot by his father to frame the second prince and start a war to take over the Loren Empire for Ursus.

For an unexplainable, mystical reason, Emery finds himself reborn just before he’s sent to the capital. Knowing what lies ahead, Emery is determined to change his fate, and he plans to enlist Gideon’s help. As it turns out, Gideon planned to take the line of succession for himself, and overthrowing the militaristic Ursus would be one more notch in his belt. The two join forces, ready to change the landscape of the Loren Empire forever, one as the reliable prince and the other as the prince’s beautiful fiance. What they don’t know is that their budding relationship has been written in the stars since time immemorial. Is fate on their side, or are they destined for ruin?

Red Tulips in the Snow

Theodore has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Well, at least the weight his parents have put on his shoulders. His parents are very successful businesspeople, with his mom owning an advertising agency and his dad leading the company’s sales team. They expect nothing but success for their son. Unfortunately, Theodore is a shy and introverted boy with a tender heart. Still, he does his best to fulfill his parent’s every expectation.

But then he meets Silas.

Silas is everything Theodore isn’t. He’s bright, charming, and has every opportunity to do what he wants in life with a gentle and open family.

It throws Theodore off course when someone as interesting and fun as Silas focuses on him, desperate to become his friend. Theodore assumes they’ll eventually go their separate ways, especially when Silas realizes Theodore isn’t all that fun to be around. Still, even after elementary, middle, and high school, and even into college, Silas sticks close to Theodore’s side. As a result, Theodore learns what it means to want something for himself, something that his parent’s whims can’t influence:

He wants Silas.

Like tulips in the snow, their friendship withstands it all, but could it possibly withstand the selfish love growing within Theodore? Or is their relationship destined to wilt before it can even bloom?

Dominate Me: Omega

Gabriel Cade had everything an omega could want: the love of his life wrapped around his little finger, a pregnancy with that person, and a future of domestic bliss. However, no matter how much Gabriel tried to convince himself that this was everything he wanted, there was a part of him that longed for more. He longed for independence, fame, and a life untethered by society’s expectations for omegas.

So, he left it all behind, letting his lover take their daughter to raise as his own while Gabriel moved on to the big city he always dreamed about to pursue his dreams of acting, singing, dancing, and the like. Unfortunately, even as a stunning, dominant omega, the industry is cutthroat, filled with scams, porn shoots disguised as legitimate gigs, and more. Thankfully, after a nude calendar shoot, Gabriel was scouted out by an agency and can finally break into more professional and well-paying gigs.

This is what he gave up everything for. He should be happy… right? Unfortunately, even amidst his budding success as a model, he can’t help but think back to that squirming little baby he gave birth to all that time ago. Gabriel needs a distraction, and Michael Channing, a fellow dominant omega, would be a great one. Too bad Gabriel hates him… but Michael’s body isn’t all that bad.

Maybe he’s worth putting up with to try out these uncharted waters.

Dominate Me: Beta

Despite being the son of a dominant omega and a recessive alpha, Casey never manifested as either an omega or alpha, which leaves him as a beta. Betas are the dominating secondary sex, but having grown up among his parents and the Cade family, all of which are made up of alphas and omegas, he can’t help but feel utterly alone in the world. After the Cade family moves away, separating him from his crush, the eldest son and alpha of the Cade family, Levi, Casey tries to take advantage and move on from his old first love and his own feelings of inadequacies.

Years pass, but Casey still can’t seem to put out the torch he carries for the little alpha he fell in love with as a child. Much to his surprise, he ends up running into Levi, and he’s all the dominant alpha that Casey knew he would be. To his surprise, though, he also runs into the second son, third child, and first dominant omega child of the Cade family: Gabriel. Even more surprising, Gabriel’s childhood crush on Casey hasn’t waned in the least.

Stuck between the one he wants but can’t have and the one who wants him, Casey has to make a decision. Will he finally let go of Levi and make his own happiness? Or will he never be able to let go of the reliable alpha from his childhood, even if it means heartbreak?

Dominate Me: Alpha

Nathan and Sam’s relationship didn’t start off all that wholesome. Nathan, a recessive alpha, went to an omega brothel known as the Omega House, looking for a dominant omega to have a good time with. Due to a door number mix-up, Nathan ended up in the room of the dominant omega, Sam, a tall, masculine, and very non-omega omega. Sam turns Nathan’s world upside down, and their steamy night ends up being the first of many as Nathan marks Sam, and they end up being bondmates, intrinsically tied for the rest of their lives. While they aren’t the standard alpha and omega couple, in more ways than one, they do follow the usual expectations of most alpha and omega couples.

They mark.
They marry.
They start trying for children.

Much to their joy, it isn’t long into their marriage that Sam finds himself pregnant, compounding the happiness they’ve built with each other tenfold. Just like they’ve done the entirety of their time together, Sam and Nathan jump into this new adventure headfirst. But, unfortunately, their hopes and dreams for their family come crashing down as Sam’s pregnancy ends in tragedy. Having never faced something so painful, the couple’s love and relationship are tested. Will they come out stronger together, or will even the ties of their bond break under the pressure?
