A TouNemu AU taking place in 500 BCE Greece.

Temples rise and fall into rubble, their gods forgotten by time. Touka had never placed faith in them. When her city burned and the heavens remained silent, she understood no higher power would save them—it had to be her. She lived by that belief without wavering. But ever since that day, she has felt a presence watching her. Or perhaps watching over her. At first, she pushed the feeling aside, a problem for later. Soon, however, it became something else entirely: a game. And she knew she was playing with something far greater than any god.

(A series following the life of King Touka of Hokuyo)

For #TouNemuWeek2026 Day 6: Rivals to Lovers

Title: Sun Devourer

Word Count: 14105, three chapters

Pairing(s): Touka/Nemu, Past Touka/Ui

Rating: T

Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Wyverns, Human/Monster Romance, Rivals to Lovers, Aged-Up Character(s), Action/Adventure, Roommates, (in a cave), Royalty, (and all that it entails unfortunately…), Not Beta Read

Summary:

Wyverns are legendary beasts that only arise every few thousand years, with coats of scales impenetrable by normal means. A decade ago, one awoke to snatch the light from the sky, and sunk the human kingdoms into eternal darkness. Now, humanity is stretched thin, and its last hope is that the wielder of the only crystal blade in existence will slay the Sun Devourer and return the sun to the heavens. Knight-Princess Touka of Hokuyo has fought the beast countless times. It is the hope of humankind that she will one day succeed.

Summary:

Nemu knows all kinds of monsters from folklore and myth, from all over the world. She knows that many monsters wear human faces, particularly those of beautiful women, and these are almost always the worst ones. Her employer is one such deplorable individual, with a cold artificial heart that never rests. Touka Satomi has made it clear over the years since Nemu signed that fateful contract that she will never let go; not of her favorite pet.

Summary:

The ritual was one of many covered by Touka’s extensive education. She was taught it would be the single most important rite she’d ever witness: the brightest Disciple of the Sun and the most unloved Disciple of the Moon, together in death at the altar so few had ever touched. Beholden by the eye of the Sun and Moon at once, only possible at the peak of the Great Tower and under the eclipse, only possible every thousand years. She should have seen it coming. Somehow, she hadn’t expected to be the one selected until the day attendants escorted her to the tower.
