Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

A fallen angel is one who has rebelled against God and has been cast out of the promised land in return. Jeremy never intended to be one of them; he had the life his parents wanted for him; nearly graduated, a devout Catholic, a beautiful girlfriend, and a planned future. All of that changed when he was locked in a room with another man who made him feel desires he never thought possible for him. Now he must decide what he truly wants with his life... whether he wants to throw away everything he's ever known to pursue a man or keep his family and follow the life he's been expected to lead. ••• This story will include: Slurs Religious trauma themes Sexual content between two men Self harm due to trauma If any of this makes you uncomfortable, please refrain from reading as I will often not be putting warnings before chapters.
