Bound by Starlight

Hey! I’m looking for a fantasy M4F story with adventure, emotional tension, and a touch of fate-driven romance. My character is a former knight who broke his sacred oath to protect the royal line after a tragic betrayal. He’s been living in exile for years, believed dead — until the kingdom faces a new threat, and he’s reluctantly pulled back into the world he abandoned. Your character is a mage (or priestess, scholar, etc.) chosen by prophecy to wield ancient magic tied to the stars. The problem? Her magic only works when bound by a “guardian’s vow,” and the only one capable of forging that bond… is him. They don’t trust each other at first — she sees him as a disgraced knight, he sees her as a naïve believer in destiny. But as their fates intertwine, the bond between them deepens — not just magically, but emotionally. I’m hoping for a slow-burn story filled with adventure, magic, and growing affection — the kind where the connection feels earned. Lots of tension, danger, late-night talks by campfires, and that feeling that they were never meant to meet… but now can’t imagine being apart.
