What happens when Death falls in love with the paramour he is gifted? Cursed to kill everyone he touches, beastly Lord Damien Casteel lives in anger and loneliness. During a rare game of poker, he wins the final hand against a petty criminal named Luca. The prize is a pouch of twelve precious gemstones. But Luca is determined to get the stones back, no matter what. Breaking into Damien's mansion to exchange the real gems for fakes, he is captured and threatened with death. Begging for his life, he strikes a deal: his freedom in exchange for his adopted son, Jemison, who will serve the lord as his paramour for twelve days; one day for each stone. Although he is reluctant to let anyone into his life, Damien is desperate to keep Jem away from Luca's abuse, so he agrees. What he does not expect is to fall for the tormented young man. Prompt used is number 46. We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you.

When Mauricio joins a new college partway through his final year, all he wants to do is get the grades he needs and get out of there as quickly as possible. But when he's seated next to Raiden, someone who's nicer to him than anyone has ever been, he starts to develop new feelings he isn't willing to face. Through his panic attacks and grades on the line, is it really a good idea to get involved, when he doesn't have anyone else to turn to if things should go wrong? [A/N] Set in UK, so characters are still high school age despite being in 'college' (they're the equivalent of seniors).

Rava Weston is the definition of the ideal son. He follows the rules, smiles when he should, and never causes trouble. His future is laid out-while he has just enough space to secretly chase his own quiet dreams of becoming a teacher, so long as he plays the role his parents expect. But when he's forced to attend a family summit back in Italy, everything starts to unravel. Because Gio Fontana will be there. Gio is reckless, magnetic, too rich for his own good. He's got cops who know him by name, and NOT because they're friends. His motorcycle is his greatest love, and rules don't seem to apply to him. He has a reputation that makes fathers lock their doors. Especially Rava's father. Rava and Gio, never got along. But this time, the tension feels like hunger more than hate. And as the days stretch on, Rava's perfectly safe world starts to slip through his fingers, because what's building between him and Gio is forbidden. Not just risky. And it might be the first real thing Rava's ever felt. 🥇 #1 - gay 🥇 #1 - rivals 🥇 #1 - enemiestolovers 🥇 #1 - forbiddenlove 🥇 #1 - lgbtfiction 🥇 #1 - bxb 🥇 #1 - bl 🥇 #1 - bxblove 🥇 #1 - boyxboy 🥇 #1 - biker 🥇 #1 - Italy 🥇 #1 - denial 🥇 #1 - angst 🥇 #1 - gaylove 🥇 #1 - gayfiction 🥇 #1 - fluffy 🥇 #1 - mxm 🥇 #1 - bisexual 🥇 #1 - gaycouple 🥇 #1 - love 🥇 #1 - mlm 🥇 #1 - funny 🥇 #1 - obsession 🥇 #1 - lgbtromance 🥇 #1 - traveling 🥇 #1 - fatalattraction 🥇 #1 - grumpyxsunshine 🥇 #1 - slowburn 🥇 #1 - queer Also available on Amazon, physical and Kindle version with extra spicy scenes ✨

Complete. Unedited. They needed a Sloane on the ice, they just never expected that she would be the one to fill the skates- and she never expected her brothers childhood friend to start paying a little too much attention. • • • I was a Sloane, but I wasn't the one anyone ever looked at. Never supposed to carry my father's dream. Never supposed to want the ice the way I do. My father calls me his ice princess. When he remembers I exist, that is. Graceful. Elegant. Temporary. Hockey was never meant to be mine. But when my twin brother, Sebastian, is handed the opportunity of a lifetime and chooses to walk away - I'm given a choice no one would ever offer me willingly. Take his place. Wear his jersey. Become him. One semester. One secret. Under the helmet, I'm invisible. Padding hides the curves. Silence hides the truth. As long as I never take the helmet off, never step into the locker room, never let anyone look too closely - I can play. And I can play hard. I just never expected Justin Leeds to start paying me the attention no one else ever has.

Liam Howard was a wreck. He had been for two years, ever since a knee injury ruined his soccer career, ruined his dreams, and made him a laughing stock of the community with a viral video of his worst moment. Now, he was still struggling to figure out who he was without the sport and where he'd go with his future when he couldn't be the star athlete anymore. In his junior year of college, Liam was confused about his future and about himself. Things were only made more confusing when he met his new roommate for the year. Banks, an aspiring tattoo artist and expert chicken wing connoisseur, piqued Liam's interest from day one. Which was weird, because he'd never thought about another guy so much, or looked at one as much as he looked at Banks. Junior year steamrolls forward as Liam tries to learn this new version of himself, who he is, who he loves, and how the hell he's going to get through the rest of the year in one piece.

Edits may happen in time but for now, the story will remain as is. At the age of Seven, Christian came out to his parents. His parents accepted him with open arms but with concerns the world may not, they took matters into their own hands.

That's where he met his first love and boyfriend, Billy, who disappeared the last week of camp. Four years later, when a new student named William transfers to his school, it throws Christians life into chaos. William reminded Christian of Billy. He was convinced his lost love had been found. One problem, William insisted he wasn't this Billy person Christian assumed him to be. Will Christian ever learn of what happened to his lost love or ruin everything he's worked so hard to accomplish in his attempts to find the truth?

Completed • First Draft - not edited. || "You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right?

But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
