"Your zoning out again honey" Torin didn't come to camp to heal. He came because he had no choice. Closed off and drowning in silence, he expects nothing from the people around him-until he meets Liam, a quiet boy with a steady presence and a way of seeing him no one else ever has. Set in the quiet corners of a summer wellness camp, this is a story about anxiety, found family, and learning to breathe again when the world feels too loud. For readers who've ever felt too much, said too little, and still hoped to be held anyway. Any photos used are not mine, all rights go to original people.

"You disappeared. You chose another life, one where you abdicated from the role of being a big brother; the same big brother that was the only father figure I had in my life. I hope you burn, the same way he did" Life has never been easy in the Antonelli household. Constantly on the move due to uprising family issues, people get lost. In large families, people get lost. Loud crowds, barely any food, and sharing clothes, is just the bare minimum. Growing up in Russia, was a completely different story. The second the Antonelli's stepped in to the states, it was a whole other world. Going from poor, absent parents, to the rich lifestyle with only her brothers to show some form of guidance, is not what is expected. Least of all, is boarding school. Only a few years after being accustomed to the states, her eldest brothers are gone. No trace, no note, nothing. Only a message in the form of her fourth eldest brother, whom has now become her guardian, that she is to go to an elite boarding school. Only now, the trio of big brothers are back in town, and demanding that she comes home. Demanding her, Harlow, to return to the little girl they left, 7 years ago. It isn't that easy though, adjusting to living under the roof of a brother that chose to leave the second he could. But, who can blame them, when the lifestyle they came from, was not flush with money. Only, you can blame them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Formally known as Athlete B Started: 23.10.25 Finished: -

When Arlo Mills moves to a new town, he's hoping for a quiet, low-profile life. Struggling with anxiety and being mute, even simple daily tasks can feel overwhelming. He certainly doesn't expect that a seemingly insignificant moment-an awkward encounter in a store aisle-will shift the course of his life entirely. What starts as a chance meeting soon leads Arlo straight into the Wolf's den. Calix Wolf is a name known across the country. A powerful, successful figure in the kink community, he owns an empire of clubs and businesses, and carries a reputation as a dominant, no-nonsense man who always gets what he wants. Gruff and commanding, Calix isn't expecting the soft, trembling young man who can barely meet his eyes and can't speak a word. But something about Arlo draws him in-and Calix is not the type to let go of something that catches his interest. Is the Wolf's den truly a place of danger... or could it become a sanctuary for someone who only wants to disappear? After all, what's a little mouse to do when he finds unexpected safety in the arms of a wolf?

Eli has spent fifteen years being fine. No father, no history, no last name that means anything-just a foster placement in Kansas, a job he wasn't supposed to have, and a very specific list of foods he can eat without his body staging a protest. Fine. Manageable. His. But somehow, hitting a wine bottle at a customer leads him to a family and a home he doesn't recognize. Aleksandr Volkov has spent twelve years looking for his youngest son. He was not prepared for what fifteen years of fine looks like up close. ➜ cover by @sugararmy07

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
