-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ The first time I saw Luke Carter cry, he was trying to drown himself in a pool at midnight. I didn't stop him. I just watched. 𖹭.ᐟ Oliver Reyes is the boy who seems fine. Star swimmer. Perfect grades. Empty house. He's learned to hold his breath-in the pool, in the pills he counts like prayers, in the silence of being left behind by parents who love him from a distance. Luke Carter is the boy everyone wants but nobody saves. Golden, reckless, burning out fast. He fights like he's trying to feel something and drowns like he's trying to stop. 愛 When they collide, it's not love at first sight. It's recognition. Two boys who understand that water accepts what people can't. Two boys who've been treading water their whole lives, waiting for someone to notice they're sinking. But loving someone who's drowning doesn't save them. Sometimes it just means you both go under. 𖹭.ᐟ This is a story about the versions of ourselves we perform for other people. About being everyone's hero when you can barely save yourself.

【INCLUDES MATURE SCENES, READ AT OWN RISK】 'There is always some madness in love. But there is also some reason in madness.' - Friedrich Nietzsche After losing his family, Alden had lost a lot of himself too. Years later he still hadn't been able to make himself whole again. Maybe he never will, but with a new foster family, a loving purple haired friend, and a crush he might finally act upon, Alden's life might finally be getting better.

Ah the fire place. A spot in the house that is warmed by fire, people gather around it on cold nights, Santa Clause uses it to break into your home every year, you even hang socks over it for him to drop little toys and candy in to bribe you to bake cookies for him in the years to come. Well, Santa was not what came out of my fireplace, Santa was also not the one that I became completely infatuated with over the course of two days.

BOOK THREE The world was thrown into chaos the moment Carter lost his step mother. He just didn't realize it until it was too late. The war ravaged the world he lived in, destroying society and ruining more lives than he would ever be able to count, and he, though he always tried to ignore the fact, was the reason it happened. Demi always assumed he was the one who broke the world, Bay liked to brag that it was him, but fleshing it down to the marrow of this broken world, tearing back the layers to the very beginning, Carter knew. He knew he started this. And he knew he was the one who needed to end it. With unlikely companions at his side, people labelled as both enemy and friend fighting with him, Carter will fight literally everything he's ever known, everything he once believed in, to finally end this for once and for all. Because even the most cruel, the most malicious of people, were innocent when they were young, and sometimes... sometimes reminding them of that innocence is exactly what is needed to purify their evil.

Six kids in one house, and somehow he still felt invisible. Taye was always working, always stressed, always trying to hold everything together but never really seeing him. The others were the same. Busy. Distant. Like surviving mattered more than anything else. And maybe it did. But that didn't stop it from messing him up. So he learned quick don't ask for anything, don't expect nothing, and don't let nobody get close enough to leave. That's just how he became Kairo. Rude. Distant. Unbothered. Or at least...that's what everybody thought. Now suddenly, things were different. Taye checking on him. Asking questions. Looking at him like he actually mattered. It didn't sit right. "Where was all that before?" Kairo muttered one night, staring up at the ceiling, phone in his hand but not really looking at it. Because care-real care-was something he didn't know how to trust. And that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part...was him. Kairos best friend. The one person who always stayed. Always showed up. Always saw him even when Kairo tried his hardest to push him away. That was the problem. Because Kairo wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not about him.
