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.

Till never expected to see Ivan again-especially not as his assigned college roommate. After drifting apart post-high school, their relationship had become a blur of unspoken feelings and silences too long. But now, in the small, sunlit Room 307, the two are given a second chance. Ivan, now an architecture student with a quiet demeanor and late-night design habits, isn't the same boy Till remembers. And Till, a literature major who still doodles in the margins of every notebook, finds himself both nervous and curious. As the semester rolls on, shared spaces become shared moments-takeout on the floor, sleepy conversations at 2 a.m., midterms survived with tea and laughter. Slowly, their walls fall. Between art exhibits, campus festivals, snow days, and movie nights, their friendship blossoms into something softer, deeper. And maybe this time, they won't leave things unsaid.
