Thank you!!❤️ I'm so happy to hear that you like the first chapter 🙂 Chapter two is in the works now, so hopefully not too long before the next update!
Right! My kryptonite is men yearning ❤️ (even if that yearning is buried under layers of denial and contrarian tendencies 🤣) Thank you so much for the support!! ❤️ Hope to have the next chapter finished soon!
Your writing is absolutely beautiful and visceral. It's as if I can pluck the images out of the words... I hope in the future we'll have choices for how the player might influence the story. I'm excited to see where the journey takes us! 💕
Thank you so much!♥️ And yes, in future updates you will definitely be able to make choices that will influence how the story unfolds. I am working on chapter two now, but I also plan on updating chapter one prior to chapter two's release and incorporating choices into the first chapter that will affect MCs relationship with Leonidas and what happens once Leonidas leaves for war 🙂
Grrrr Leonidas and MC are my brainrot for the week. I adore it when there's pre established relationships like that. Feels so immersive and there's so much to explore. Can't wait for chap 2 🙏🙏♥️
Thank you, I'm so glad you're enjoying the dynamic between MC and Leonidas!♥️ I definitely agree, pre-established relationships offer so many possibilities for exploration and hidden layers, especially the childhood best friends to lovers (or almost lovers hehe) tropes 🙂
Also great work! Fantastic choice of music, the score adds so much to the scenes and I am so enamored with the prince already. I could just get lost in your writing, I can't tear my eyes away from the screen, can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much! And I totally agree that the music really helps to set the tone! It doesn't quite land the same without that there to lay the foundation, that's one of the reasons I've quickly grown to prefer this medium to traditional writing. I'm so glad you like the writing as well <3
I'm so excited to see where this leads!! I love love love the concept so much and I already feel the angst this is gonna give me. Thank you for your hard work on this and I'm really excited to read more!
immediately going into my saved because this concept is WOWzer, i cant wait for more. idk if its far fetched (it probably is) to say that MC and Leonidas remind me a bit of Merlin and Arthur LOL
It's been so long since I've ready anything with Merlin and Arthur, but from what I can remember I can definitely see that!! (especially with the medieval vibes) 🙂 I'm so glad you're enjoying the concept so far ❤️
Thank you for the kind comment, and for taking the time to read Leonidas and MC's story! ❤️I'm so glad you enjoyed the story and the writing itself :) Take care too, can't wait to bring you chapter two!
The description of the story has me hooked. I can't lie I teared a bit. I can feel what the MC must be feeling given the situation, as I am someone who loves to imagine such scenarios LOL.
I'm so happy I found this! I am looking forward to more chapters. Thank you, author, for keeping it free!
Ahh a fellow angsty romance fan :) I'm the same way, imagining scenarios like these makes for such delicious tension! I'm so glad you're enjoying the story so far. And of course <3 Thank you for taking the time to read A Crown of Velvet Thorns and share your thoughts with me on the first chapter!
Leonidas's love and devotion to MC lend itself to that careful balance of pining and longing so well <3 He would do anything for MC and, unfortunately, his father knows that. I'm so glad that you enjoy my writing! :) I will be sure to post on here and tumblr every time I update if that will make it easier :)
This is so good! The writing style, the music, Leonidas holding your hand as if you were the moon and his kingdom was just a pile of sand, the king recognizing this and using you as motivation, it is all incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Leonidas's love for MC is so soft and passionate, I'm relieved it translated well to this IF format <3 Thank you! I'm glad the combination of music, writing style, and Leonidas all works well together :)
Thank you for the kind words, I'm so glad you enjoyed my writing <3 I was worried it might be too sentimental, so I appreciate you letting me know that you liked it :)
Thank you! This will definitely be a romance story full of longing, yearning, and all the delicious tension that comes with forbidden love <3 So glad you enjoyed the first chapter! :)
Thank you! I'm so glad that you like the writing style and the story <3 Because of their bond, I always find myself writing in a certain style with scenes between Leonidas and MC :)
I'm just sitting here now, thinking about all the angst that could happen as the story progresses😭 I love it. Their bond is so precious. So much emotion conveyed in such a short demo. It's got me hooked.
Right, so many angsty possibilities! Leonidas is my very first OC from back when I first started writing, so he and MC will always hold a special place in my heart <3 I'm glad you're enjoying the demo so far!
how did you manage to convey such a pure and passionate bond between the MC and Leonidas in just the prologue? love it so much and...;-; i am already dreading their future (side-eyeing the king so hard rn). Also, i love the music you chose! Looking forward to further updates on the demo <3
I'm so glad you liked it!! <3 I was actually really nervous posting this since it's so different than TLD and sooo angsty (and I love writing angst! ). Trust your instincts when it comes to The King! MC is in for a rough ride once Leonidas leaves and they have to contend with Kind Maddox without him there. And ohhh the angsty possibilities :)
Leonidas clawed his way out from the recesses of my mind and the angst was too much- I had to have some way to channel it 🤣 I can't promise chapter two will be less angsty, but I'll try not to release it on a Monday hehe!

Thank you! This will definitely be a romance story full of longing, yearning, and all the delicious tension that comes with forbidden love <3 So glad you enjoyed the first chapter! :)
Amazingly written. I am in love. With Leonidas, and the story so far <3
Thank you! I'm so glad that you like the writing style and the story <3 Because of their bond, I always find myself writing in a certain style with scenes between Leonidas and MC :)
I love it!😭😭 You're too good at making me cry!
