Arrows and Thorns

by The Brother Anton

REUPLOAD On his journey home from a diplomatic trip, Prince Tetsuhiro Morinaga finds himself the newest captive of a bandit ring. Rather than fear for his life, he welcomes his new situation—especially the leader of the ring, whose stunning beauty is matched only by his intriguing mystery—and tyrannical temper. AU of Koisuru Boukun and Part I of the Arrows and Thorns Trilogy.

1. Chapter 1

Hello, readers. Probably not what you expected as a first page, I know, but I feel it's necessary to include this author's note.

Whether you're returning or new, the message is the same, and I plan on putting this at the beginning of all of my re-uploads. I was once really active on here and had way more fics than what I currently do, but for personal reasons I deleted all of my works and closed my account for about a year. I do feel bad that I deleted everything, though, so even if I don't plan on being extremely active on here again, I still feel like I should give you all something.

That something are these: the fics that I deleted. I didn't save the little ones, but I did keep my long AU's, for which I was greatly known. This AU is actually the least "out there" of the three that I did. I uploaded this storyline in a trilogy format originally, and I plan to replicate that here. These are the exact fics as they were a year ago; I haven't changed or revised anything.

Just a little plot note for this one, the Morinaga brothers are king and prince, not prince and prince like what's said in the beginning. Their parents are both dead. Just a clarification.

All of that out of the way, I hope you enjoy.
