Rayne has a routine, a plan. He lives life according to this routine. A few times a week, his routine allows him a few hours to hide away in his diner. Everything is always the same in this diner, even the variances are consistent. That is, until the gray-haired manager hires a new waiter who moves about like a tornado. This boy does not know Rayne's "usual" or his proclivity to be left alone so he can watch and study the people living around him. This new waiter disrupts his routine in all the worst ways and Rayne can't help but hate him. He doesn't seem to care, however, continuing to disrupt Rayne and see Rayne and pop Rayne's bubble of safety, and ask Rayne questions that he doesn't want to answer. It was all quite aggravating really. •••••• He looked vaguely familiar, like an ancient statute carved from marble or a delicately crafted oil painting you can see only in the galleries in Europe. He was all but perfect, just one minor flaw over his eyebrow- a scar where hair refused to grow, leaving a pale gash to interrupt his dark eyebrow. I noticed, between all my studying of this strange man's face, that his lips were moving. I had no desire to hear what he was saying. I was content to just watch. The ways his lips parted and pressed together, his porcelain teeth teasing an appearance behind them. I watched him speak, not hearing a word, until he stopped, his lips curving up and open on one end in an aggravating smirk. I don't know why it aggravated me, but it did. I furrowed my brows and removed an earbud, moving my eyes back up to his. His eyes seemed to aggravate me too. They looked all too teasing, all too amused. 🎖️ #1- yearn- Feb 18, 2026🥇 #1- love- Dec 18, 2025🥇 #1- slowburn- Dec 18, 2025🥇 #2- boyxboy- Dec 18, 2025🥈 #2- bxb- Dec 18, 2025🥈 #2- manxman- Dec 18, 2025🥈 #3- literature- Feb 14, 2026🥉 #10- lgbt- Dec 26, 2025

Don't tell anyone and maybe it will go away. Don't tell anyone and you can ignore it. Then he meets the one person that makes it impossible to ignore. *** WARNING: drinking, heavy language, themes involving internalized homophobia and childhood traumas, sexual content

En Monterrey, hay cosas que simplemente no se mezclan: el calor con la lluvia, el cabrito con el sushi y San Pedro con Escobedo. Sebastián tiene todo: apellido, dinero, auto del año y una vida perfectamente trazada entre exclusivas avenidas. Miguel tiene lo justo, y a veces ni eso, pero lo que le sobra es orgullo, carácter y una lengua filosa que no se calla ante nadie, mucho menos ante un fresita como Sebas. Cuando sus caminos chocan por error, por destino o por pura mala suerte, todo parece apuntar a que se odiarán para siempre. Pero en una ciudad donde el amor se cuela entre el humo de los tacos al vapor y el rugido de los coches de lujo, a veces el odio es solo una excusa para mirar un poco más de cerca. Porque entre el cerro y el asfalto también puede haber fuego.

"Is that what they're callin' you now? Warboy?" "I suppose so, sir." ✯✯✯ The 1960s were a turbulent time-Vietnam raged overseas, and America simmered with unrest.

In a time when love between two men is not just forbidden but dangerous, Cassius must navigate the unforgiving land he calls home-and the even harsher terrain that is discovering connection. All he wants is to make it out alive-alive enough to love and be loved in return.
