Many people think that the hardships faced in one's childhood can make you stronger. Elijah thinks that's complete crap. After a childhood that consisted of regular trips to the hospital, Elijah ended up with overprotective parents and an endless stream of pitying glances everywhere he went. Now, finally in his senior year, he wants to forget his past and have a good time; but life seems to have other plans for him. So when a certain star quarterback enters his life, will Elijah finally be ready to let someone new in, also while grappling with the fact that he might be sick once again? ___________________________________________ TW- Cancer, mentions of abuse/domestic violence, mentions of drugs and anxiety, some mature language.

What happens when two people find each other in the same company- one an alpha who swears he doesn't need love, forced to find a fake boyfriend just to escape a marriage his parents are trying to trap him in... And the other an omega who's sassy yet gentle, fiercely independent, and loves his family enough to leave them behind for their sake? What happens when their pretend relationship starts to shift the ground beneath their feet- When something that was supposed to be fake begins to feel dangerously real? When complications appear in the form of a miracle, a heartbeat, something small yet powerful enough to change both of their lives forever? What happens when one of them disappears- leaving behind guilt, responsibility, and a love he never meant to feel- while the other is left heartbroken, confused, and angry? Was it truly hate... Or was it pain? Or was it a wound from loving someone who had to leave, even when he didn't want to? And then- what happens when they collide again five years later? One still carrying the ache of the past, and the other burdened with guilt for the hurt he caused but unable to erase the memories of the happiest- and saddest- days they shared. What happens when fate brings them back to the very love they tried to pretend wasn't real? Was it ever fake... Or was it love all along?

Carter Parrish lived a happy, simple life with his mom, and knowing she had found her way back to love was the best news he could have ever received. But love leads to marriage, and marriage brought him a new stepfather, a new house, six new stepbrothers and one especially obnoxious stepsister. When the place he is meant to call home starts to feel like a test to his good-will and patience, Carter needs an escape. He might find just that where he least expects it, after meeting a smart boy with a snarky sense of humor and a secret he doesn't seem to good at hiding, who just so happens to be his football coach's son. Somebody said "change is inevitable, growth is optional". Carter just wished they had left a footnote about how hard it can be. *STORY CONTAINS MULTIMEDIA*

"Thirty is coming. So is the question they never answered. One promise. One year. One chance to choose." At twenty-two, it was supposed to be a joke. A half-laugh, a careless promise made on an ordinary night: If we're still single at thirty, we'll try. No rules. No pressure. No expectations. They never spoke of it again. Seven years later, Pond and Phuwin are adults in every way that matters-steady jobs, separate lives, carefully built routines. They are still best friends. Still each other's constant. Still the first person the other thinks of, even when they pretend not to. When circumstances force them back into the same space, old familiarity turns dangerous. Shared mornings feel too intimate. Soft touches linger too long. Conversations circle around everything they refuse to name. And somewhere between now and thirty, the promise resurfaces-not as a joke, but as a question neither of them knows how to answer. Because this isn't about falling in love. It's about admitting they already did-and deciding whether they're brave enough to risk the one thing they've never lost. Set in the quiet tension of adulthood, Somewhere Before Forever is a slow-burn friends-to-lovers story about timing, restraint, and the kind of love that waits patiently... until it can't anymore.

Harlan has a unique power, one that makes him see things others cant, and therefore got him thrown in an asylum when he was only a child. Now he's a reluctant hero, thrust into the profession since he lacked any other option. He's amazing at his job, and six years into his work, is the sidekick to one of the most notable heroes of his generation: Lavina. Unfortunately, he also hates being a hero, but there's one thing that makes it worth it. The numbered. A series of villains who appeared out of nowhere and have an exceptional skill at avoiding the law, heroes, and just generally winning or evading consequences. Consequences, which are the only part of Harlan's job he enjoys. Harlan wants to find the root of it all more than anything, and he's beginning to get close. He intends to find out at any cost. He intends to win at any cost. That, he's sure of. His drive is unmatched. Until something entirely foreign to him gets involved: Feelings. [WARNINGS: smut, gore, swearing, some heavy topics, morally grey characters (the usual)]

Goldby City, where evil never sleeps and good never rests. Revenger and Citadel are the local villain and superhero. Everyone knows that wherever one of them is, the other will show up in no time. What no one knows, however, is that the two are lovers in private. No one, not even the hero himself. Rowan and Matteo met by chance, and even after many sleepless nights, the spark between them hasn't faded. They're just fooling around, no strings attached. Except that Matteo's heart always skips a beat when he sees his lover. He fell in love with him a long time ago but hasn't had the courage to confess his feelings. Rowan, on the other hand, has a different secret. He found out a long time ago that the man in his sheets is his worst enemy. Perhaps that's why he always tries to hurt him as little as possible.

The ancient Greeks said Cupid's arrows could make you fall in love, but what if those arrows hit the wrong person? And what if that person was Eastwood High's most notorious bad boy? Dylan Dexwell was the opposite of a typical guy - his quick wit was laced with cutting sarcasm, his sense of humor an acquired taste. But everything changed when his father was transferred to San Diego, and Dylan had to start all over again, with a secret. On his first day at his new school, Dylan was immediately the center of attention. His white hair set him apart from the other students. But his looks weren't the only thing drawing eyes - it was also the sight of him stumbling into the school's most notorious bad boy, the captain of the football team and his troublesome mouth. He knew he was gay, but he wasn't ready to come out - especially not to his parents. As Dylan settled into his new school, he soon met the most colorful group of people imaginable. There was the sassy cheerleader with the razor-sharp wit, the cheerful sweet guy Dylan could tell had a secret, and the jerk who became his half. Dylan found himself arguing with the stunningly handsome biggest jerk of Eastwood high at every turn, and soon they were butting heads and getting each other into all sorts of trouble. But then, in a moment of confusion and chaos, their lips met. And everything changed. Was it love or hate that was igniting between them? And what would happen when these two polar opposites start to feel a spark? Things can't get worse in Eastwood, right? Wrong. This isn't your typical gay love story. It's worse. For some reason, Eastwood hates the boy with a secret- Dylan. And it sure is trying to get rid of him.
