[BxB] [spicy] [indianmc] "Kiss me properly," he demands. "I don't want to!" I snap, "I want to touch your hair!" I really did like his gold hair. Maybe I was in love with his conditioner. Was there a sexuality for that? He just looks confused. "Oh...okay." He tilts his head down for me. I touch it again, then let go and look away. "What?" he says. I'm not sure what to say to him, except that I want to exchange saliva with him again, but I don't want to ask for it since he looks amused and like he'll make fun of me. "Want to touch my arms again too?" he offers. "You're stupid. That's stupid. No I don't." Yes I do. ~~~ Indra never asked for a stepdad, much less a churchgoing one. But now he's stuck spending every Sunday pretending to enjoy it while his mom smiles politely and Patrick tries to get the new pastor to join their fantasy football league. Enter: Jaron Ashcomb - the pastor's son. Golden-haired, polite, painfully perfect. The kind of guy who makes friends instantly and doesn't laugh when Indra says "Asscomb" out loud. Indra's just trying to survive awkward mingling, dodge emotional vulnerability, and maybe finish a decent drawing without someone confiscating his pen. Too bad Jaron smells like expensive soap and looks like the sketchbook crush Indra definitely isn't allowed to have. Updates every Friday at 8 PM PDT :)

When August was ten, he moved in with his dad and half-brother. That was also the unfortunate year he met Elijah Malone-his brother's best friend and the absolute bane of his existence. For four long years, the two were locked in a never-ending war of insults, side-eyes, and occasional near-violence. But by the time high school rolled around, they struck an unspoken truce: total mutual denial. They didn't talk, didn't look at each other, and definitely didn't acknowledge the shared history of chaos. It worked. Until it didn't. One night, during one of his brother's infamous parties, Elijah stumbles into August's room... and promptly passes out. In his bed. Yeah. That's when things get complicated.

William Harrington has everything a college hockey captain should: control, discipline, and a plan for the NHL. Ethan Ward has a future at the same NHL team and a massive temper problem. When Ethan transfers to Will's team and moves into his off-campus house, the ice cracks fast. They can't agree on anything - practice, plays, or who used the last of the coffee. Their chemistry on the ice is electric. Off it? Volatile. But behind the fights and the frost, something warmer is starting to build. The only problem? Everyone's watching - scouts, reporters, teammates -and one wrong move could destroy both their futures. Enemies on the ice. Roommates at home. Something dangerous in between.

Finn Acker takes his anger out on hitting baseballs. That might be why, senior year of high school, he finds himself captain of the team, with D1 offers on the rise. He's the school's "Golden boy." Known and loved by almost everyone in his small town in North Carolina. Well... almost everyone. Scotty Landry has had it out for Finn ever since sophomore year, and Finn has no idea why. Scotty's first and only love has been music. He spends his time booking gigs for his band and smoking outside of a run down gas station, the complete opposite of Finn. The two, like oil and water, just don't mix. And that will never, ever change. Until it does.

Warren Han is deaf, patient, and over being underestimated. Raymond Wayne is the school's golden boy. Cocky, cruel, and hiding more than anyone knows. They're supposed to hate each other. But after one unexpected night, Ray ends up sleeping in the bed of the boy he's been tormenting at school. Nothing's the same after that. Group projects. Secret glances. Rumors in the locker rooms. Teammates watching too closely. And a house that starts to feel safer than home. With outside pressures closing in, and problems neither can outrun, getting a little too friendly might cost them everything. Art Credits/Cover: bloomuffinomnom on ig #11 in BL #12 in mxm

Nigel Padbury hasn't felt anything in years. Not really. He spends all of his time alone, or at least he did, until he's convinced to work as a stage hand for a musical at his university. Billy Simpson had a reputation. Everyone knew how good of an actor he was, but now he's nobody. He's desperate to build it up again, and that means auditioning for everything he can. Luckily for him, he's talented enough to get in the cast over and over again. Two boys. One on the stage, one off it. But when personalities collide, will the two of them be able to get past it? Or is something deeper going on that neither wants to admit? Something that will turn heads and break hearts.

When Mauricio joins a new college partway through his final year, all he wants to do is get the grades he needs and get out of there as quickly as possible. But when he's seated next to Raiden, someone who's nicer to him than anyone has ever been, he starts to develop new feelings he isn't willing to face. Through his panic attacks and grades on the line, is it really a good idea to get involved, when he doesn't have anyone else to turn to if things should go wrong? [A/N] Set in UK, so characters are still high school age despite being in 'college' (they're the equivalent of seniors).

You remember your first love... Even when they come back from the dead. When Rene Barnett returns to his family's mansion after his father's death, he expects nothing but dust and the weight of old memories. Instead, he finds a boy chained in the cellar beneath the mansion. Malachi Delaney, the boy who vanished two years ago. But he's no longer the same boy Rene once knew-he's a vampire now, one of the demons whispered in the town's myths. As Rene struggles with the truth of what Malachi has become and tries to uncover why he was imprisoned beneath his home, he begins to question everything he thought he knew-about his town, his family, and himself. And when another vampire arrives in Saint Rivers, secrets long buried begin to rise, dragging magic, grief, and forgotten history to the surface. As desire tangles with danger, Rene is caught in a haunting pull between the boy he once loved, and the monster he might become.
