But one thing is for certain: Baby is different than anyone Oliver has ever fallen for. As Oliver and Baby grow closer and closer, they have to learn that the stars are numbered, and love is a choice - a choice to stick with each other through anything. Because life has a funny way of kicking you in the nuts when you least expect it. [complete] [59,000 words]

Max Harper has always been clumsy - with his words, his steps, and sometimes with his heart. At 17, navigating life as an autistic teenager isn't always easy, but when he stumbles (literally) into Jason Torres, the brooding convenience store worker with inky black hair, a tattoo sleeve, and a silver cross necklace, Max's world flips upside down. Jase is everything Max isn't: cool, confident, and impossibly attractive. For the first time in his life, Max finds himself making excuses to buy things he doesn't need, practicing conversations in the mirror, and turning even the simplest interactions into grand missions to impress Jase. Whether he's dropping change everywhere, knocking over entire shelves of snacks, or blurting out painfully awkward compliments, Max just can't seem to get it right. Yet somehow, Jase doesn't seem to mind. There are smiles, lingering glances, and moments that Max swears are something more. With a little help (and a lot of teasing) from his friends, Max is determined to figure out if the sparks he feels are real - and if maybe, just maybe, love is closer than he thinks. - Filled with heart-fluttering moments, laugh-out-loud clumsiness, and the thrill of first crushes, Almost Real is a story of hope, courage, and the beautifully chaotic journey of falling in love for the first time.

Until a night at the saloon goes a bit too far...... Can these two men be together or will their secret be found out and their disease dealt with the frontier way?
