[COMPLETED] Falling in love was the last thing that passed across Daelan's mind. He was too busy with the self-loathing and pity party he had going on, but rightfully so. He had been in a prison of his own mind since he had gotten the diagnosis, seven months ago. Stage four Leukemia. He had just started his life, he was on the fast track to his future. College, art classes, parties, and cute boys. But that was all ripped away from him when he nosedived into the sidewalk outside of a Denny's. Cancer. It overtook his life, his plans, his dreams. That is until he was given a roommate. Room 306 now had two occupants. Daelan, and Theo. Theo came in like a storm. Loud and bright. The last thing Daelan expected was to fall for the guy he was supposed to be dying next to. ------------------------------------------------- There is a playlist on Spotify for this, it's literally called Fall Risk, and it has the cover on it.

New York City, 1992. An area that is barely able to call itself a part of the astound city but does nonetheless. Whispers travel, eyes linger but engines rev. They're loud; loud enough to drown out the sound of voices, the acclaimed truth. Engines however, are only a distraction-one that works from afar. There is no denying these truths, however, when one shows its presence at your door. The Highwaymen are good at many things but they're not detectives. The case of this fallen angel does not belong to them, but who are they to deny a challenge?

when two war torn boys meet through the digital grapevine <3 an story of sadness and love

December 1943 World War two plagued everyone's mind, especially Matteos. Two years after moving into his first apartment, becoming a best selling author, and finding a routine with his cat, Pot Roast, he receives a letter in the mail. He had avoided the draft so far, his life finally smoothing out after 20 years of trying to find a home. Now, it was getting ripped apart. Ronans mind was plagued with war in a different way, he dreamed of fighting in the Infantry like his dad did over 25 years before. Raised to shoot, fight, and survive, Ronan was ready for this war despite how his chest ached when he pulled the trigger of a gun. Matteo: December 25th, 1943 I sat in my bus seat, holding my picture of my cat, Pot Roast, trying not to cry again. It all felt too real now, 13 weeks of hiding in my apartment and now my Christmas gift was basic training. My chest felt tight now, my leg bouncing up and down. "Is that who you're fighting for?" A voice asked while sitting down next to me in the worn seat. Hundreds of other men already gone, probably dead, who had worn the upholstery down to patched threads. "That's who I'm being sacrificed for."

"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. But for Cassius Grant, life was supposed to be simpler: take over his late father's cattle ranch, keep his head down, and honor the legacy left behind. He never expected war to come knocking on his front door. And he certainly didn't expect Wyatt Fortner. As the draft looms and the world grows more dangerous, Cassius finds himself torn between duty, desire, and survival. 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.
