When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.

Everyone can read minds except for Ethan Langdon. And Ethan Langdon has the dumbest (and cutest!) thoughts Lukas Hoffmann has ever heard. ____ Lukas Hoffman's life in Brambleburg is about as boring as you'd expect for a town where everyone can read minds. He's used to his routine of dusting the LPs at the record store where he works and helping out his grandma around the house. Nothing in Brambleburg changes. No one in Brambleburg changes. Until Ethan Langdon stumbles in with the soggy remnants of a paper map, asking for the quickest route to Berlin. Ethan, it turns out, doesn't have telepathy, and as aggravatingly inane as his thoughts are, Lukas hasn't felt the excitement of meeting a stranger since.... well, ever. And the more Lukas listens, the more he starts enjoying Ethan's cute thoughts about life, the universe, and Lukas's dimples. ____ Might bring to mind: "Cherry Magic" but set in a fictive European town where everyone except the love interest can read minds. ____ Cover by @mygoodbones ____ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2024 using prompts 8, 75, 82, and 85. 8.

In which Keefe writes a series of letters and Fitz waits for him to come back. And then he does, and everything gets a whole lot worse. Replacing the events of Stellarlune but carried on a similar track. This can be nothing but a keefitz fic or, "I'm going to leave you behind," Keefe should have said. "I meant to leave my heart behind, but sewing it to Sophie's sleeve left needles in my stomach instead of butterflies." / "I know you," Fitz will say when he sees him again. "So why does it feel like you've forgotten everything I ever was?"

A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis. He had one job: slip a love letter into locker 166 and finally confess to Kate Ellis - the cool, untouchable cheerleader of his teenage dreams. Instead, it ends up in locker 168. Which belongs to Max Ellis - Kate's twin brother. Broody. Quiet. Star football player. Definitely not the person Oliver was supposed to fall for. And the worst part? Since that day, Max Ellis has been way too interested in Oliver Grant - showing up, sitting too close, smiling like he knows exactly what he's doing. The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.

There's something brewing between them. There has been for a while. Tension. It's palpable. Unavoidable. However, neither of them do feelings.

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.
