Emil Robertson is a little special with emphasis on the "little." He's twenty-two years old and has a unique family situation. "Unique" doesn't always mean "good," and it certainly does not hold positive connotations for Emil's situation. But he's got an amazing big sister and good parents that take care of him. Or at least, that's what Emil forced himself to believe about his parents for years until his sister brought home a man who becomes his savior. And that man will help Emil become more mentally stable with being the guiding hand in his life as well as becoming the love of his life and vice versa. ________________ WARNINGS: Abuse (not perpetuated by the main characters) Child abuse (mentions) Kidnapping - attempted and successful (not perpetuated by the main characters) Psychological problems PTSD and general trauma Age-regression Daddy Dom/Little Boy (DDLB) Dominant/Submissive Good things: Overcoming mental health issues Fluffy gay romance Emotional healing Sweet friendships New family members A little smut Side note: This story does not sexualize real littles.

Prepared to spend the summer getting to know his friend again, Archie is surprised when Zac brings school friends along to camp. Surely Zac isn't replacing him. The thought hurts more than it should and as the summer drags on, Archie is going to find out why. Can his revelation pull them back together, or will they continue to drift further apart?

When Alistair Melek gave his life to the sea, various degrees of things changed. For starters, his love for bloodshed was amplified. Bolder. He was drawn to the clash of a sword, blood spilling below the floorboards, like a moth drawn to a flame. And this love was damned to spread through his crew as some treacherous disease, claiming any and all who joined. But he knew this was the price he'd pay. The price for the sea itself. So when his crew completes another standard loot and pillage from a merchant ship, he allows his men a bit of fun. He liked to give them an audience, rounding up those who didn't fall victim to the blade during battle, and forcing them to beg for their lives. To prove how much they really wanted to live. Alistair had ruled the sea for some years now. Killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands. Destroyed hundreds, maybe thousands of vessels. And yet, each feeble human was all the same. There was not one man he threatened that didn't beg for their lives with all they had in them when faced with the wrong end of the sword. Each feeble human was always the same. Or so he thought. And yet, he also thought that this would be a standard job. A treat for his men after a night of good work. But this particular survivor, the one with long white hair and dead-looking eyes... He wasn't a merchant. He couldn't have been. More importantly, there was no hesitancy when Alistair asked the fairly built man whether he wanted to live, and the man replied with a simple no.

Blair Silver is the epitome of teenage cool. He's something straight out of a movie. He doesn't even seem to be on the same plane as everybody else: he's untouchable. There's nothing particularly special about Theodore Rose. He's a clumsy high school boy who adores reading. He's considered to be very prone to getting hurt- physically, due to his clumsiness, and emotionally, due to his love of books. Blair Silver comes with a promise. One that very few are willing to accept. Two additional bonus chapters available on the Lacey Grace Library.
