Some connections don't arrive loudly. They don't need labels, explanations, or turning points. This is a story about staying close-about long hugs, shared silence, and choosing comfort without questioning it. Between busy days, quiet rooms, and moments no one else notices, Charlie Bushnell and Walker Scobell build something steady and unspoken: a bond rooted in trust, gentleness, and presence. This isn't a love story. It's something softer. A bromance that doesn't ask for more-because it's already enough. --- Author's Note This story is about softness. It's about male closeness without tension, affection without escalation, and connection without labels. There is no romance here-only care, presence, and trust. Please read this as it's meant to be read: slowly. Kindness only. This story centers platonic intimacy-please respect the genre and the tone. Thank you for choosing gentleness. 🤍

Some names are easy. Some names are chosen. Some names are never meant to be spoken until everything is ready to change. Rowan Hale believes that language is intimacy - that the words you use can keep someone close or push them quietly away. Lucas Whitaker doesn't think much about names at all, until he realises there are some he's afraid to say, and one boy he's terrified of losing. Set over the slow shift from summer into autumn, *What We Called Each Other* is a soft, slow-burn boys' love story about proximity, silence, and the weight carried by the things left unsaid. Through borrowed clothes, shared nights, and the careful shelter of nicknames, Rowan and Lucas learn how closeness can exist long before it's named - and how one word, spoken at the wrong moment, can change everything. This is a story about almosts and accidents. About learning when language becomes truth. And about how sometimes, love begins not with what you say - but with what you dare to call each other when it finally matters. Trigger Warnings / Content Notes * Gender dysphoria (non-graphic, internal) * Miscommunication * Emotional vulnerability * Fear of rejection * Mild internalised anxiety (No explicit sexual content.

Nick Nelson survived a vampire attack. That doesn't mean he survived unchanged. Weeks after Charlie Spring is forced to turn him to save his life, Nick wakes into a body that isn't finished becoming anything yet - not human, not vampire, not whole. Healing is slow. Pain lingers. And the world has already decided he's dead. Charlie refuses to leave his side. He watches, waits, and loves with a desperation that frightens him more than blood ever did. As Nick recovers, his senses sharpen, his instincts shift, and grief settles into places he doesn't yet know how to name. Loving a vampire is nothing like dating one - it's quieter, heavier, and full of choices that can't be undone. Some love stories end with forever. This one begins there - and asks what it costs to stay. Trigger Warnings; Recovery from severe injury Blood and healing Grief and loss Emotional distress Identity crisis Trauma aftermath Staged death Immortality themes This is Book Two of How to Date Your Vampire Boyfriend (and Not Die). This book focuses on aftermath, healing, and grief, rather than action. Turning into a vampire is not instant or easy here - it is painful, slow, and deeply emotional.

They said time couldn't be rewritten - only endured. But when Harry Potter touches a shattered Time-Turner in Dumbledore's office, he's pulled into 1943: a castle half-familiar, a world not yet broken, and a boy who carries darkness like destiny written on his skin. To everyone else, he's Harry Evans. To the one person who matters, he's something far stranger - a mirror of what could have been, and the first person to ever call Tom Riddle good. Over one impossible year, between spellbooks and starlight, two souls find each other across the fault lines of fate. And when the world begins to tremble under the weight of what they've changed, they have to decide whether love can be stronger than history itself. And if time, just this once, might be kind.

(*Romance remains age-appropriate, gentle, and emotionally led - more Heartstopper than *Half-Blood Prince.**)

Asher Angel built his body like armor - massive, disciplined, sculpted strength designed to protect him from the world. Millions follow his fitness journey, but no one sees the person behind the muscle... the loneliness, the pressure, the fear of not being enough without the flex. Until Evan Hale walks into his life. A quiet filmmaker hired to capture Asher's transformation, Evan expects perfect lighting, clean footage, and a straightforward documentary. He doesn't expect Asher's shy smiles. He doesn't expect the late-night calls. He doesn't expect the vulnerability behind every rep. And he definitely doesn't expect to fall for the man behind the camera. But the camera catches everything - the accidental touches, the blushes, the shaky confessions, and the slow, tender unraveling of two boys learning what it means to be seen. In the quiet between flexes and breakdowns... in the soft spaces where words falter... they find something neither of them were looking for. A story about strength, trust, vulnerability - and the moments that capture us before we ever think to save ourselves. --- TRIGGER WARNINGS *(All handled gently, without graphic detail)* * Workout exhaustion / overexertion * Emotional vulnerability / crying * Anxiety about body image & perfection * Mild discussions of burnout * Internalized pressure to succeed * Brief mentions of loneliness No physical injury, self-harm, or abuse themes are present.
