One summer. One stranger. One story they never meant to write together. Caught covering for his troublemaker friend, Caster Alaric Troy Callisto finds himself in the middle of a scandal that forces the school dean to involve their parents. In order for him to breathe, Caster's parents send him away alone to their vacation house in Cebu. That's where he meets Levaunni Mikhail Orlova, a journalism student, who's competing for LHEPC. Callisto tends to be the kind of person who is known, remembered, and approached first. He is also the type to forget people's faces and names, simply because he doesn't make the effort to remember them. But after that one encounter with Orlova, he doesn't just remember him, he lingers in his thoughts and stirs his curiosity. For the first time, he takes the initiative to approach someone first, wanting to know him better. Yet, what lies on the other side of that connection may be the very thing that keeps pushes his curiosity into another level. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Former Title: Fault Beneath the Stars Stray Boys Series #1 | 🍉 They told me I wasn't in the Book. That in the grand design of the Divine, there was no ink wasted on people like me. It is hard to live as a gay man in a society that is blind, or worse, a society that chooses blindness in the name of faith. They preach love while teaching us to hate ourselves. Because of them, your skin burns even while you are still far from hell. To be gay is to be mocked, bruised, prayed over like a disease, and treated as something less than human. They hurt us for one simple reason: we are not written in their "Holy Book" the way they are. We were never named. Never claimed. Not even spared a footnote. And perhaps that is why it is so easy for them to erase us. I grew up in a house heavy with rosaries and sacred texts, a home that echoed with novenas every Thursday morning. I learned early how to kneel, how to bow my head, and -- most of all -- how to hide. I buried my truth so deep that even I forgot what it sounded like to speak it aloud. It is hard to be gay. Harder when you fall in love with someone just like you. "That's wrong." "That's a sin." "You're going to hell." They say it like a prayer. But can they really blame me? Because in that so-called "sin," I finally found myself. In that love they condemn, I learned how to breathe without fear. With him, my wings grew where shame once lived. With him, my skin finally stopped burning. Book Cover By: Souriah Arts
