Former Title: Fault Beneath the Stars Stray Boys Series #1 | 🍉 They told me I wasn't in the Book. That in the grand design of the Divine, there was no ink wasted on people like me. It is hard to live as a gay man in a society that is blind, or worse, a society that chooses blindness in the name of faith. They preach love while teaching us to hate ourselves. Because of them, your skin burns even while you are still far from hell. To be gay is to be mocked, bruised, prayed over like a disease, and treated as something less than human. They hurt us for one simple reason: we are not written in their "Holy Book" the way they are. We were never named. Never claimed. Not even spared a footnote. And perhaps that is why it is so easy for them to erase us. I grew up in a house heavy with rosaries and sacred texts, a home that echoed with novenas every Thursday morning. I learned early how to kneel, how to bow my head, and -- most of all -- how to hide. I buried my truth so deep that even I forgot what it sounded like to speak it aloud. It is hard to be gay. Harder when you fall in love with someone just like you. "That's wrong." "That's a sin." "You're going to hell." They say it like a prayer. But can they really blame me? Because in that so-called "sin," I finally found myself. In that love they condemn, I learned how to breathe without fear. With him, my wings grew where shame once lived. With him, my skin finally stopped burning. Book Cover By: Souriah Arts

Leocian Amaro Verdugo, who woke up being accused of having an ex. He is certain that he doesn't know someone named Nhor, or... does he?

Xianro Yin is everyone's safe place. He used to be the caretaker; never been the one being taken care of. But behind Xianro's walls, there were bruises than no one else noticed but has been caught by him...

Silas has always sworn he's straight. Curious to understand why his friends fell in love with other men, he finds himself crossing paths with Rael-a young man desperate for money. What begins as mere curiosity soon turns into something neither of them expected.

Trapped in an abusive relationship and longing to be saved, Elisar finally meets the one person who offers him a way out of the darkness he's been living in.

Caught covering for his troublemaker friend, Caster Alaric Troy Callisto finds himself in the middle of a scandal that forces the school dean to involve their parents. In order for him to breathe, Caster's parents send him away alone to their vacation house in Cebu. That's where he meets Levaunni Mikhail Orlova, a journalism student, who's competing for LHEPC. Callisto tends to be the kind of person who is known, remembered, and approached first. He is also the type to forget people's faces and names, simply because he doesn't make the effort to remember them. But after that one encounter with Orlova, he doesn't just remember him, he lingers in his thoughts and stirs his curiosity. For the first time, he takes the initiative to approach someone first, wanting to know him better. Yet, what lies on the other side of that connection may be the very thing that keeps pushes his curiosity into another level. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
