[COMPLETE!] A mostly-cozy friends-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances. Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only an American teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares. Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine. But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him. As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again. Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared? Or is he becoming someone new entirely?

When Tori Darling goes to her first every gynecology appointment her doctor, Dr. Orin Steele turns out to be a man who looks eerily identical to Jesse Lyte, her best friend who died a year ago. But for some reason she is the only one who can see the resemblance -in fact her best friend says he looks nothing like Jesse which makes Tori wonder if she has gone crazy or if she is really seeing him. But if she is, why just her? And above all that, is Dr. Orin really just someone who looks like her late best friend...or by some miracle has Jesse has returned to her? And if he has...why here, why now, and why as Orin vs as himself? Please note I always do my research but as I am not a doctor, the medical part will likely have inaccuracies but this is fiction so....lol. Content Warning: I am still new to this so I don't know what I need to write a warning for but to be safe here are all of them. This story will include medical content to include description of medical procedures specifically gynecology but not in any sexual manner, health symptoms. STDs, and a serious diagnosis for the main character. There will also be mention of sex, cheating with potentially multiple partners on the main character, acts of violence, and death. There will also be mention of religious entities including God and Angels. If any of the things listed are things that you are interested in avoiding completely, I would recommend not reading this work. Recommended for mature readers aged 18+ only.

CREATIVE CAULDRON WINNER || A bully x bullied BL about pride, chaos, and falling for the last person you should. Deacon Beauregard is rich, powerful, and raised to believe cruelty is just "honesty." As the heir to a massive industrial empire, he rules his school the same way he's been taught to rule the world: by enforcing hierarchy, humiliating "problem" students, and never questioning himself. Cassias has nothing. No money, no patience for authority, and no tolerance for bullies-especially Deacon, who's made his life hell under the guise of "keeping people in line." When a school field trip forces them to share a hotel room, the unthinkable happens: they talk. What starts as a full-scale war turns into an uneasy truce, then something far more dangerous-understanding. As Deacon's worldview begins to crack, Cassias is faced with an impossible question: what happens when your bully actually changes? ---- Ranking Milestones: #5 in freethelgbt #10 in British #80 in Bully #7 in Bonding #5 in Redemption Arc Pinterest board: https://pin.it/3rk4ZPnsl ---- *Credit where credit is due: This story is very loosely inspired by a series of Boyfriend/Bully-to-lovers ASMR videos by HydroKingVA on YouTube.*

Sion was a lead dancer in Seoul who was on the verge of reaching success with his dance team when he found out that his girlfriend had passed away due to a car accident while on the way to his dance festival. Consumed by grief and unable to perform, he retreated to his hometown, Mokpo, spending his days floating on a boat in the Yellow Sea. A few months later, Jiwon arrived in Mokpo from Seoul, seeking her own temporary change from her own heartache and an unsatisfying job as a marketing assistant. She quickly began to date again while attempting to rediscover her own passion for life. Their worlds collided one night when Sion spotted a woman who looked like his late girlfriend stumbling onto the street. He rushed over to prevent another tragedy, only for Jiwon to tell him that she was not his girlfriend. Their annoyance with each other's presence grew when they discovered that Sion delivered seafood to the very restaurant Jiwon's parents owned. They tried not to cross paths, but perhaps Mokpo isn't such a big city after all. As they met and shared the same inner circle of friends, who were embarking on their own meaningful journeys, the two wanderers ultimately had to face their own challenges and each other with the courage to ignite their own passions that may lie far beyond the shores of Mokpo.
