SYNOPSIS "I asked for a peaceful life. The universe gave me royal drama, magical duels, three emotional support animals and four emotionally unstable men fighting over me." After dying in a car accident, Ruen Ashvale just wanted a lazy life in a quiet world. Embracing peace, slow pacing, lazy, bed rotting life. Instead, he ended up living alone for two years in the deadliest forest imaginable. Well not totally alone, he had annoying neighbours around him that he constantly had petty fights with everyday. And three emotional support pets, one loved barking laughter after his idiotic way of survival, another one mocks his way of survival and the other rolls their eyes at his stupidity while demanding warmth and skinship like he's some part-time cushion for the three. Now forced to attend an elite academy full of nobles, Ruen has to navigate political schemes, magical exams, and four dangerously attractive boys who all seem... interested. He doesn't know he's rare. He doesn't know he's powerful. He just knows he wants to sleep. But destiny and romance have other plans.

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories

He had been in a prison of his own mind since he had gotten the diagnosis, seven months ago. Stage four Leukemia. He had just started his life, he was on the fast track to his future. College, art classes, parties, and cute boys. But that was all ripped away from him when he nosedived into the sidewalk outside of a Denny's. Cancer. It overtook his life, his plans, his dreams. That is until he was given a roommate. Room 306 now had two occupants. Daelan, and Theo. Theo came in like a storm. Loud and bright. The last thing Daelan expected was to fall for the guy he was supposed to be dying next to. ------------------------------------------------- There is a playlist on Spotify for this, it's literally called Fall Risk, and it has the cover on it.
