*Spinoff/Sequel of Lab Partners (Recommended you read Lab Partners first but not required.)* "You know, you shouldn't smoke those things," I spoke softly, referring to the cigarette perched between his teeth. The pale light of the moon made his skin glow like an ethereal light, while his black hair shone like pure obsidian. "And why not?" he asked tiredly, letting the poisonous smoke escape his lips as he looked up at the stars. "They'll kill you," I said honestly, finally looking away from him to peer up at the brilliant night sky. He took the opportunity to turn his stunningly blue gaze back to me. He studied me lazily for a few minutes before asking, "And what if I want to die?" I looked down, straight into his eyes, and asked, "What if I don't want you to?" *This is a bxb book.

[Completed] Mike is perfectly content with his calm, quiet life-until Jackson, his chaotic childhood rival, crashes back into it like an unwanted sequel. *********** Mike has always hated Jackson. Ever since elementary school, not a single day went by without Jackson breathing down his neck-interrupting and annoying the shit out of him. Needless to say, Mike was over the moon when he heard Jackson was transferring, and he wished to never see him again. Unexpectedly they meet again in high school. What started as old rivalry, petty pranks and a bet soon turned into something neither of them expected- and for a moment everything felt magical. Until circumstances force them apart. Now years later Mike's life is falling apart, but life has a unique way of rewriting stories. And love leads them back to pick up where they left off! [NOTE: Please be aware that there's strong language and mention of domestic violence (not among the mc) in later chapters that might be triggering for some readers. Nothing is graphic and there will be trigger warning before the chapter.] #1boyxboyromance (24 September 2025) 🥇 #1 comingoutofthecloset (29 October 2025) 🥇 #1 characterdriven (31 May 2026) 🥇 #1 writtenwithpride (4 May 2026) 🥇 #1 characterdriven (27May 2026) 🥇

Lucas Sawyer has gotten used to being forgotten. His twin brother Mark, captain and star quarterback, everyone's favorite, gets the spotlight. Lucas doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't go to parties. His life is safe and logical, and that's exactly how he likes it. But when his brother's football rival and worst enemy, Damien Castillo, starts work at the same small bakery, everything changes. Damien is Lucas' worst nightmare: an arrogant heartbreaker with a bad reputation, who threatens to ruin all his careful plans. Lucas hates him. Right? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story was inspired by @hipstateasee's "Knight", and I have her permission. All credit to her for the great premise!

lily hummingbird is an aspiring unknown actress. she struggles and is doing everything she can to make ends meet. what will happen when someone who so quickly ruined her life and became her biggest enemy becomes just as quickly a part of her everyday life.

Irina Rozanova-Hollander had been told she was wearing the blades of glory all of her life. As the only daughter to hockey legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, she had always been in the spotlight, just like her dads and as Canada's most prestigious teen athlete in figure skating, she also finds her greatest passion on the ice. It all would have been so perfect, only if it wasn't for that one junior hockey player making her life hell, and an unknown number watching her every move.

I'm really nervous but also happy. Ilya and I have been in a committed relationship for about 6 years now but have known (and fucked) eachother for way longer. Directly after our coming out as a couple in march I didn't think that I could be that happy again. Today is Ilyas and my wedding day and it feels like I have waited for this my whole life. In five minutes, I'll walk up the aisle and in twenty minutes, I will be able to call myself the husband of Ilya fucking Rozanov. This book plays after 'the long game' and will contain spoilers for every book. *TW* depression smut sh suicidal thoughts swearing arguments

Shane and Ilya are parents of two children, and it's a nightmare. The best nightmare of their lives.

⚠️TW!⚠️suic!de! Please do not take offense in this short piece of writing. The idea came to me, as I do enjoy writing angst, in hopes that others may appreciate it. I do not mean to offend anybody. This is a short fanfic about Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosonav. It includes an adopted daughter, then mainly Shane and Ilya trying to figure out their feelings and find a way to be themselves once more. If there's anything wrong with the spelling or grammar, I did write this at midnight 😭so be warned !

Takes place 5 years after Shane and Ilya get married they now have two daughters, Sasha and Mila, 3 and 5 years old. They put them into hockey at a young age. What happens when one doesn't have the passion anymore and the other does. Follow the Hollander girls through childhood and teenage struggles, watch them bond and fight. How will they deal with having famous parents? Will they let the nepotism get to them?
