Secrets abound in "Lyra's Magnum Opus". Tetsu is keeping the fact that he is bisexual and non-binary from everyone in his life. The whole series is about his journey to reveal it on his own terms and becoming comfortable with these things himself. He is semi-famous in the book's world as a musician and dancer from the start, so he's also keeping it from the world. Sana's band, Lyra, has long kept secret from the music industry that Sana (their singer) has a degenerative illness that is later revealed to be terminal in actual fact, which is the other shoe dropping that most of the band didn't even know. The whole series is about Sana revealing this on his own terms to their fans and the whole world as the band becomes more famous due to their unique situation and new association with Tetsu who is already famous as the drag queen Aurelia. It is also kept secret for a while that Tetsu and Sana are together, and Tetsu gets fired from his management company for being queer due to them finding out about this relationship pretty early on. The slow reveal that Tetsu and Sana are dating and then married is also a major theme in the book (it kinda gets more cute, though, this particular secret, as their mutual fans adore them both as they watch their journey).
*breaks out into a cold sweat * Oof, every character in Apparent Secrets is keeping something from someone. Whether it's "I've been in love with you for months" to "I'm secretly hiding three aliens in my apartment," EVERYONE has something to hide. I think it's fun to tease out each persons' secrets and lies as we go along. The longer you read, the more dirt you dig up on everyone.
5 out of 6 of my characters are magic based which is a secret they keep from the average world. HOWEVER all of them have deeper secrets that they are keeping from each other (and maybe themselves). BUT SAYING WHAT THAT IS IS A SPOILER-
(The reason I made this piece was because of all the s e c r e t s)
That's like my whole comic series haha it's literally titled "The Secrets We Keep" XD
Main secret in the story is that the main character is mixed with two celestial bloodlines- this is important because no child born of both bloodlines survives past the age of seven. She has to keep it a secret or the King will kill her. The second is that she is possessed by a full Celestial Demon.
I finally got to reveal a secret that everyone has been keeping from Vince in my latest chapter that being released tonight (the past death of an islander). And I got to reveal the reason for them hiding it which is Handi's primary coping mechanism is of right now is avoidence, so they just don't bring it up to protect her. And this isn't the only way in which she's lying to herself but I haven't reveal that yet.
As for my other story easy one, Aurora still hasn't told anyone about her reincarnation. Personally I still haven't figure out why she hasn't or if she will later, but I am still in the first few chapters so that's future me problem.
Our mysterious doctor, and supporting character, Birger Bramblewood has kept his identity as an elf a secret from Arjana(MC), a young human princess, since he took her in.
In this world, humans and elves are enemies because elves and humans have a history of enslaving one another. Despite this, humans remain a great threat to elves and have the advantage against them due to a curse placed on the elves.
When his apprentice, Izzimar, found her, Birger was worried that the other humans may be looking for her and wouldn't be too pleased with her being in their company. So, he stopped wearing his traditional garb and wore a magical hood to create an illusion to hide his ears and antlers. As he helps her heal from her sickness, he ponders of a way to get her home without revealing his identity.
*This Novel series has pictures, currently backed up, but will post pictures in novels that are missing them**
Yukiko is hiding her entire identity. Nobody knows where she's from or who she really is. If anybody did, she would be in great danger. Even her closest friend, Ren, has no idea. But that's okay. After all, Ren has a secret of his own...
The biggest and most consequential liar in my story is definitely Alex. My first published chapter was all about setting bad vibes around him and how he definitely lied about what happened to his half-sister Alma.
(This is the face of someone trustworthy.)
I’m trying to slowly build a mystery around what happened to Alma after their father's death, and Alex is one the few people to know the whole story but continue to tell blatant lies on the subject. What happened to Alma is incredibly important because of how it affects the two protagonists Corrine and Rose.
