Eli and Adrian have always been rivals-two sharp minds clashing in debate halls, their animosity legendary on campus. But when Eli wakes from a dream so vivid it feels like a memory-one where they were not enemies but lovers-his world tilts. The touch, the laughter, the intimacy linger in his bones, leaving him questioning reality. Was it just a dream? A glimpse of another life? Or something buried deep beneath years of competition? As he searches for answers, he finds Adrian already watching him, an unreadable expression in his eyes. And for the first time, Eli wonders-does Adrian dream of him too?

It was supposed to be the perfect proposal. Cole Rivers had the ring, the rooftop reservation, and The Weeknd songs queued for post dessert vibes. Three years of love, laughter, and late night ramen with Natalia-all leading to this one moment. But instead of "yes," he got: "Cole, meet my fiancé... Dominic." Not just any Dominic. Dominic Crane. GraveTech CEO. Power-suited perfection. Cole's boss. And apparently... Natalia's upgrade. Cue spiral. Champagne-fueled heartbreak. A blackout night with 18-year-old scotch. One very illegal attempt to hack Dominic's company out of spite. But fate and a brutal corporate shake-up-have other plans. Now Cole is stuck working side-by-side with the man who shattered his relationship... and maybe something else he's not ready to name. Because Dominic? He's infuriating. Arrogant. Cold. Also: stupidly attractive. Unfairly competent. And magnetic in a way that short-circuits every defense Cole thought he had. What starts as sabotage turns into banter. Banter turns into tension. And heat turns into late nights, stolen glances, and lines that don't stay drawn for long. But can Cole really fall for the man who broke him? And if he does... who's the real traitor, Dominic or his own heart? Love was never part of the code. But some bugs don't want to be fixed. --- Top Rankings 🏆 1 - #Secretrelationship (10/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Sci-fi Fantasy (16/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Action-Thriller (23/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Tech (24/10/25) 🏆 1 - #boyxboy (02/11/25) 🏆 1 - #Original (09/11/25)

They say you can't go home again. But what if home is the man you can't forget? Luca Romano left his small town and its narrow-minded whispers behind, trading them for a life of vibrant freedom as an openly gay photographer. But when a family emergency forces him back, he's thrust into a world of memories he'd rather forget. The last person he wants to see is Daniel his former best friend, his first love, and a secret chapter of his past he's desperately tried to burn. Daniel has painstakingly built the perfect, "normal" life: a respectable job, a house with a white picket fence, and a kind, loving fiancée. He's locked away his desires, his truth, and the boy he once was, convincing himself it was all just a phase. He's safe. He's straight. Or so he thought until one glimpse of Luca shatters the illusion completely.

It could have been simple. Childhood friends - First Crushes - Football - Laughter - Cuteness - Love. Maybe even happily ever after. But it is not simple, and Noah doesn't know why. All he knows is that Ethan suddenly ghosted him when they were thirteen. Cutting their story short at Football. Now, years later, the same game throws them back into each other's lives when Ethan suddenly transfers to Noah's school. What he doesn't know is that Ethan comes fighting an invisible battle for control that Noah can't begin to understand. He just feels frustrated that Ethan seems hell bent on keeping a solid wall between them. A wall that keeps cracking. And the question is, once it finally breaks, can they find their way back to the story they were meant to have? ___________ Completed 19 of February 2026

What do you know about Vincent Russell? Well...most people don't know anything, considering he is an absolute closed book, which is ironic since his face is always shoved into an open one. If you happen to catch the attention of the grouch, there is no promise that he won't cuss you out or give a crap about you at first glance. The unbothered, quiet boy sure has a lot brewing on the inside from his uprising, but Vincent isn't the intimidating asshole everyone makes him out to be. ...But he does have a weakness: that annoying kid that pried his way into his life called Hayden Williams. So, who exactly is Hayden Williams? He's the definition of a train wreck. Most people are surprised that the social butterfly can even keep his head attached to his body. With the chaotic energy he brings to every room, any night can end in spin the bottle, inappropriate jokes, and possible jail time...kidding (not really). However, there is depth to every party animal. The remaining question is how on earth are these two best friends? Even better, how do these two become more than friends when their personalities conflict in every way possible? Follow them through the years of their lives in 'Lilies for a Lifetime.' **This is a spin-off of 'Flowers for Football.' It can be read as a stand-alone but many spoilers and scenes from the book will be mentioned**

Hugo's mother has recently married Edmund Royce-Clarke, the first-born son of the affluent entrepreneurs, Wilbur and Agnes Royce-Clarke, co-founders of the formidable world of Royce-Clarke Private Banking. Alastair has spent considerable time and effort organising a garden party in honour of the distinguished couple's fiftieth wedding anniversary, to which Edmund and his new family are invited. With fine cuisine, deluxe drinks and a variety of recreational activities in the grounds of the beautiful Mossmere House, it seems nothing can spoil the party atmosphere. But when Hugo gets bored and decides it would be fun to play his own special game with Alastair, he unwittingly unlocks an undeniable chemistry that neither of them can ignore. As the attraction they have for each other continues to grow, the two men must try to find a way to navigate their desires without adversely impacting the celebrations - or riling the other prestigious party guests. ***** This story is the result of a collaboration between myself and @MichaelBeNot. It is also available on I-n-k-i-t-t via MichaelBN's profile. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we did writing it!
