[Under revivision-slow progress. Maybe adding a little heat to future edits]. Seventeen-year-old Jude spent four years away from the house where his mother died and the shadows of the people who broke him. But distance doesn't silence ghosts-it makes them louder. When Jude is confronted with the decision to move back into that house or move away for his final year of high school, Jude makes a choice. He goes back. Back to the house he swore he'd never live in again. Back to the memories he tried to outrun. Only this time, he isn't alone. His friends move in with him, turning his family home into a second chance. Between Liam and Charlie's constant tests of what is and isn't "gay" and Jude's own unravelling faith, hiding who he is becomes harder than ever.

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.

It wasn't love at first sight, it was lust.

Tristan has been going through the motions for a while, never quite fitting in and always feeling like an outsider. When his dad finds his sketchbook filled with personal drawings and kicks him out of the house, Tristan decides he's had enough. He grabs his dog, Sadie, hops in his car, and leaves without looking back. But at only sixteen, Tristan quickly realises that life on his own isn't going to be easy.

Ronan Hastings thought in lists. Depending on who you asked, this might be called a strategy, a shortcoming, a merit, or a crutch. Maybe even a coping mechanism. If he had to make a list to sum up his life at the moment, it would look something like this: 1. He was one of six in a group of thieves, and a good one at that. 2. He only had four friends in the world. 3. He was probably in love, and it didn't feel good. 4. Stealing didn't feel too good anymore, either, but he didn't have anything else. 5. He was the type of person others cared for enough to make promises to, but never enough to keep them. 6. There was something about the newest member of their team that he couldn't bring himself to trust.

The one rule Daniel has for himself? Don't date your boss. And it's the one rule he can't help but break. They say never meet your heroes, but Daniel has to. He's hired as a personal assistant, tasked with turning around the life of the man he'd admired since his college years-bestselling author Oliver Carlson. And he's nothing like Daniel pictured him, dressing in baggy cartoon T-shirts, with facial hair overwhelming his features and a messy home that resembles a frat house. But what Daniel doesn't know is how well his new boss can clean up... and how smoking hot he really is, underneath the oversized shirts and overgrown beard. There's more to Oliver than hidden six-pack abs and gorgeous eyes. What other secrets will Daniel unlock, all while trying desperately not to break his one and only rule?

Then one day, Harken appears at his door, and suddenly his past is back to haunt him.

[boyxboy] Simon Matthews was off limits. Off limits to everyone and everything. Everyone knew that. The football team knew that, the teachers knew that, hell even Simon knew that. But the one thing he didn't know was why. He didn't know why everyone avoided him like he had some sort of disease. Simon Matthews was off limits because Asher Ericsson liked him, and Asher Ericsson had a habit of being possessive. Cover design: @erroristcxxs

(bxb) After a year of surviving an all boys boarding school, William Brown thought he had finally navigated the ups and downs that the rich, private school had to offer. He'd even managed to make a few friends, as well as a rightful enemy. Lucien Harding. The two young boys were about as friendly as oil and water-that is, not very much. A dark haired boy deemed for destruction and a golden prince promised greatness weren't the likely pair. They knew as much, yet somehow, it had become inevitable. Their relationship would either go down in flames or a blaze of glory. Both boys bleed flame either way. Whichever path, they'll learn more than they bargained for.
