ex·hi·bi·tion·ist (noun): someone who exposes their genitals to strangers for sexual gratification 26-year-old Silas Ripley doesn't lack anything. Sex. Drive. A well-paying job as a physical therapist. He's sure he's got things figured- including the most perfect rotation on women athletes as patients, eager for a taste of him, ready to take things past his place of work... until he notices a disruption to that system. It starts with one woman... then three... and eventually, by five, he decides to get to the bottom of why every woman in his rotation sends a text along the lines of: "It's been great and all... but I think I found someone." And this is what leads him to William Everson- a professional painter who just moved into the apartment building right next door, one floor above his. William Everson has only one interest in his life: The male body. Burdened with the infatuation of a muscular build, his work revolves around painting men- rendering their beauty on canvas. After moving into unit 402 of 238 Hounds Crescent, he spots a man in the apartment just across from his, one floor below, sparking an unfortunate moment when he witnesses him having sex through the window... but regardless of the mystery neighbor and his captivating build, William already has his focus on the models built for his line of work, not knowing that he'd already entered the most bizarre matchmaking service known to man: His modeling clients were running into a particular neighbor's rotation of women. What William wasn't expecting was just how confrontational Silas Ripley could be. And through a series of hilarious mishaps, the handsome neighbor falls into a new position for the painter, one far more dangerous, given William's need for the unorthodox: His muse. [MATURE 18+] This is a GrumpxGrumpy enemies-to-lovers story centered on two men who will push past every boundary available, all to see how the other reacts.

Blood for blood, bite for bite. Who gets to walk away? _____ Harper Moon is a bottom-of-the-barrel vampire and one of the most notorious vandals of the modern west coast. In theory, it could admit him into the most coveted private artistry academy the vampiric species has ever mustered up. But in practice, it could be what serves him on a plate instead. Every other year for their twentieth birthdays, those at the bottom are rounded up and assigned a mentor from the ones at the top, and trained for one year to compete in the largest biennial artistic competition for all vampires to watch. Those that are chosen are debuted as the next generation of artistic machinery for the elite. Those that are not, could be food. In a last-ditch attempt to break out of his lot in life and see himself free, Harper joins the ranks in hopes of working his way out. But talent is not the only thing the games necessitate, and art is not so black and white under a scrutinizing eye. When the competition begins to melt into more than just a game of the talents, but of his very mind, Harper will come to find the world of the arts is a brutal battlefield, that passion harbors a gruesome side, and the intricate politics of what it really means to be free may not be a game he can play alone. It's glamour, greed, gore, and greatness. And nowhere is too far to go just to have a taste. [ONGOING] [#1 in VAMPIREACADEMY] [#2 in GAMES] [#2 in ARTBOOK]

Hello?" "An inmate from Hanely County Jail...." an automated message began. The womans robotic voice chilled me straight through to my bones. "...this call may be monitored." "H-hello?" I asked shakily. "They're letting me out tomorrow. I wouldn't call if I had anyone else Martha, especially on account of your health," a gruff voice came through the other end and I instantly knew who it was. ~ Death has brought Noah back to the town he wanted to forget.

Dawson is- most people who don't know him would say- as straight as they come. And senior year away from home promises to be a big year for him: no parents in sight, a whole new set of friends, he just seems to have it all. Not to mention that all the pretty girls of the very private Wharton High are dying to get a taste of the new talk of the school. If only he could get Adam Hamilton's eyes out of his head. * "He dislikes him so much he is annoyed by the mere sound of his breathing. He dislikes him so much that he can't bring himself to ignore him; that even the way his stupid glasses perfectly sit on his symmetrical nose exasperates him; and his ridiculously blue eyes that take different shades of blue based on his mood and now Dawson knows that apathy is the ocean whereas rage is a starless night sky. And his jawline looks like it was sculpted by the hands of Michelangelo, but he dislikes him so much he can't look at his face without feeling his cheeks flush in anger. Truth is, Dawson dislikes him because Hamilton did something that no other person- despite their best efforts- ever managed to do. He made him feel weak."

[bxb] Luke had always suspected that he was gay. There's a very big difference, however, between thinking you 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be gay, and having a pretty boy naked and underneath you in the backseat of his car. *+*❅*+* Lucas Donovan had always kept his life on a tight leash. Between high school, hockey, and helping take care of his family, there was scarcely room for romance-not that Luke minded. Girls seemed too complicated, too messy, and too damn stressful when they came with any intention beyond quick, drunk sex. The "spark" was all fairytale bullshit, anyways... or so Luke believed. It was funny, really. All it took to change Luke's mind was getting laid in the backseat of the car of a boy with big, blue eyes shrouded in an even bigger mystery. *+*❅*+* Rankings: #1 friendswithbenefits #1 comingout #2 skating #4 boyxboy #8 bisexual #7 ice #22 gay *+*❅*+* Cover Photo: Kelli Clintock Cover Design: tragicvenus

In 1990, a phenomenal event changed the course of history when the emergence of Superpowers began to affect a large population of humanity. At first, society rejected those blessed with these powers but when several members advocated for Equality, Superhumans were accepted and even integrated these powers into everyday jobs. Now, 74 years later, in the year 2064, Superhumans are more common than ever with a new profession: Superheroes and Schools to help teach and train these heroes for the future.

With the uprising of Superhumans, many people used their blessings for nefarious deeds and many established themselves as Super Villains during the Golden Age of Heroes.
