Gosh, was Zander Hayes hot or what? Everybody thought so. As did Asher Tyson. You could call him a nobody. He wasn't bullied. He wasn't a nerd. He was just Asher. Some knew him, some didn't, but he was and felt invisible most of the time. But not to Zander Hayes and he saw everyone as invisible, but that was only until he met Asher. And now, to the both of them, it seems like their lives are finally changing for the better. - story inspiration playlists in bio ♡ - best rankings: #1 in bxb #1 in pride #2 in romance #3 in boyxboy #3 in gay #5 in teenfiction - Started: April 14th, 2020 Finished: August 1st, 2020 ♡

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.

When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind. Asa can't stand Jordan's cold, self-assured attitude, and Jordan's own walls make him dislike everyone around him. But when desperation meets opportunity, an unexpected arrangement could be the solution to both their problems... if they can survive each other long enough to make it work. ~~~~~~~~~~ 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬 (𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠) #1 in read4read #1 in mmromance #1 in gaytension #1 in unlikelyromance #1 in basedonreallife #1 in sadlife #1 in sexwork #1 in complexcharacters #1 in brotherlove #2 in brokencharacters #2 in humour #2 in banter #2 in depressing #3 in mentalhealth #3 in alcoholism #3 in trauma #3 in tropes #3 in hurt-comfort #4 in singledad #4 in awareness #5 in brokenfamily #5 in angst
