When things get unbearable, the only thing that helps Charlie feel grounded is music. What can he do when he runs out of batteries for his old walkman? At school crowds of people gather to watch Travis perform, but when he goes home his only company is his cat. He escaped his abusive parents, but now he lives with his older brother who is usually away working. Will the strange, quiet boy he finds sitting on his porch trying to listen in on his music put an end to his loneliness?

Daniel was just ten years old when he moved into Ronghei's household and became the son Ronghei never had. When Ronghei's only daughter Lily was born, she filled the house with her fiery cries and Daniel's heart with her smile that seemed to carry the Sun. She was the little storm that he loved. When tragedy hits the family, Daniel finds himself in the position that was always meant for him - a big brother to protect and care for Lily. And he would be there for her through thick and thin. Only that he hadn't expected her to grow up one day and enchant him heart and soul. It was in the way she laughed, the light in her soul, the way she'd come knocking on his door at midnight when nights are rough. But he can't love her. That was never the plan. And he does not have it in him to let her know. He would never let her know. He'd take it to his grave with him. But how far could he take loving her from afar, very deeply and truly for that matter... [2nd July 2022]

COMPLETED [boyxboy] Wren Ridley is always two steps ahead of everyone, or so he thinks. His life seems out of his control when he starts having feelings for someone he knows he shouldn't, someone who he's better off avoiding at all costs. Landon Reilly is still trying to figure himself out. After coming out to his parents and nearly getting sent away to conversion therapy, he finds it hard to get close to anyone. He's ice cold, closing himself off to anyone. But when the two constantly bump into each other on their daily runs, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible and the two are drawn to each other more than either will admit. "On Thin Ice" spinoff. Can be read as a standalone, but contains "On Thin Ice" spoilers and will make more sense if you read that first.
