Breathing fire sounds like a neat party trick, right? It is! It's also only a small part of what Aiden can do as a pyroweaver. Fanning the flames comes naturally to him, but every weaver's ability comes with a pitfall. For Aiden, it means he's constantly overheating. Snowing outside? He's in a t-shirt. Hot-as-balls out? He may literally burst into flames. It's kind of an issue. Just as he's beginning to smother under his own ashes he's introduced to his co-worker and new college housemate, Kal. As a hydroweaver with an affinity for ice, Kal can create ice sculptures with a flick of his wrist. Sounds awesome, right? It is! His pitfall? He's constantly freezing! One keeps his distance in fear of burning someone, the other likes getting close in search of some warmth. Could Kal's refreshing touch be the perfect opposite that Aiden needs? ⚠️ Content/Trigger Warnings: -Includes swearing and explicit sexual themes intended for those 18+ -Includes themes relating to mental health, bullying, death, and grieving -Warnings will be displayed at the top of specifically prevalent chapters; most of the book is more 16+ish ⋯⋯ ☼ ☽ ☼ ⋯⋯ 🏆 First Place winner in the Young/New Adult category for The April Awards 🏆 First Place winner in the Romance category for The Glitter Awards 🏆Third Place winner in the Romance/New Adult category for The Seasonal Awards 🏆Honorable Mention in the Romance category for The Lavender Awards #1- bxb 9/1/22 #2- housemates 10/22/21 #4- gay 3/14/22 #4- mxm 3/14/22 #8- oppositesattract 10/22/21 #44- freethelgbt 3/14/22

How to capture it all? I was no photographer My paint brushes, I have retired And words simply do not belong On a cover The same way they fit In my mouth, or march along the surface Of these pages. How to capture it all? The sounds, the smells, the blurring lights as life rushes past me. The things I feel but have not found reflected around me. The images that Undoubtedly Would stop the carbon copy of myself And urge, "Read me." How to capture it all? But some questions and answers Like some estranged partners Walk on opposite sides of the road. So I draw one line to the next Connecting the right And what's left of the unknown Into the semblance of a city. I scrawl above, Cement City. - Sticker made by @Pipwusa. 🥇 First Place in Poetry - Sunflower Awards 3.0 🥉 Third Place in Poetry - Borderverse Awards Season 2

Ember's revolutionary powers are sealed in a girl with whom he lost contact with for thirteen years and who also doesn't exist - at least, not in the world Ember is in. But Ember is adamant - he must get his powers - so, he tries. He opens portals after portals, fails, tries again until one night, when the gods ruling the empty skies finally decided to take pity on him, he manages to open the portal, not even knowing how he did so. He meets the girl who had his heart for the longest time he could remember, but only to realise that her memories were erased, and getting back his power is going to be much harder than he thought. The flames of Ember shall return to him, he will make sure of that, but, at what cost?
