Teenagers are not particularly known for their correct manners or proper tact. Abel Woodward, therefore, is a typical teenage boy... aside from the fact he very well may be dying. You see, Abel is sick. He has a Very Bad Disease that steals his mobility, takes his breath away, and ruins his social life. One day, he sits down on his usual bench to rest after having walked to the park for a bit of fresh air. He is, however, not the only boy sitting on that bench. Never would he have guessed that the fresh air his mother told him to get would lead to a fairytale complete with an exuberant puppy, and that despite all his rudeness, sarcasm and cold limbs, he starts to realize that some tales have two princes. As he gets to know that other prince, Abel navigates the ending of his old friendships, the formation of new ones, and the ever-present challenge of living with his Very Bad Disease. Slowly but surely, he thaws, warming to that boy who keeps choosing to stay beside him. No more is his life filled with just hospital visits and pills, for now his days are dotted with first kisses, fireworks and movie nights, and even the occasional party. As Abel finds his prince, will he be able to live life like he means it? And if he does, how much time is left? ────────────────── 'Are you okay?' he asked while I wiped some blood from the corner of my mouth. I must've looked astounded, because he quickly added, 'I'm sorry, it's not -' 'I'm fucking incredible,' I interrupted, 'I just walked a mile and now I feel like I'm fucking dying but honestly I feel like I'm fucking dying all the time, and I am probably dying all the time so that's likely the reason why I feel like I'm fucking dying. Because I am. Yay, great. How are you?' My social skills had degenerated much at the same pace as my health. In case that wasn't clear. ──────────────────

Will the prince move on, or would he hold on to the hope that dear Edward was still alive. Cover by the amazing @Loutka

BOOK ONE Coming out was supposed to set Julian free. Instead, it left him with a broken arm, a mother who won't stop preaching, and a silence that grows heavier every day. High school feels like a cage, and Julian is certain he doesn't belong anywhere-until Paul crashes into his world. With his inked skin, effortless charm, and a following that makes him untouchable, Paul should be the last person Julian lets close. Loving Paul means risking exposure, rejection, and heartbreak all over again. Worse, it means facing the cruelest voice of all-the one inside Julian's own head. Tender, raw, and unflinching, Open is a story about first love, first heartbreak, and finding the courage to believe you're worthy of both. ::: I could feel it when his body finally went slack, when he'd fallen asleep and soft snores emitted. And I thought I was getting better at this breaking down thing... I honestly did but when I was alone, I seemed to fall apart. Endless serenades of how worthless I'd been and how destructive I was; I was a disappointment to literally everyone and I hated it. My breathing became shallow as I cried for the second time that day, finally feeling content being immersed in guilt. A shudder wracked through my body, tears escaping and Paul pulled me closer as he woke silently. Mumbling soft nothings against my skin and kissing it to slow my breathing, he tried to lull me to sleep, "It's okay, you're okay." Refusing to speak -my voice failing me- his arm came up to wrap around my shoulder and I held him there, placing a small kiss to his tattooed skin in a broken sign of gratitude, I must've run out of tears. And I felt at ease.

Sigmund Pine is a vampire living in a world that considers drinking from a human as 'uncivilised'. Casper Weiss is a human who thinks being bitten is just a really fun kink. Sigmund is rich, is close with his dad, has good friends, and is respected by all - and he's still unhappy. He secretly desires to drink from humans, craves it deeply, and he's thoroughly ashamed of it. It feels dirty, sinful even, and he's stamped on his desires for years. The blood he distributes through his company, Blood Bank, is refined, tasteless, and he wonders if he'll ever feel full again. Sven, his meddling, but well-meaning secretary, is worried about him, and after a desperate push, Sigmund makes an appointment at a company called Love Bites, that matches vampires who want to drink with humans who want to be bitten. There, he meets Casper Weiss, known as Cass, a human who shamelessly flaunts his enjoyment of being bitten and offers himself up as Sigmund's perfect match. They both have a lot to lose if their relationship were to get out; Sigmund's reputation and friendships are on the line, and Cass could lose his business if people thought he somehow corrupted the great Sigmund Pine. But they can't seem to stay away from each other, even when they know the risks. Join Sigmund and Cass on this journey of love, sex, and self-acceptance. Rated 18+ MATURE. There will be sex. Lots of it.

"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.
