A story between two boys in love and their struggle to find each other through life. Inspired by the song 'Oceans' by SeaFret.

The saying goes - don't poke the bear. It should be - don't poke a dragon. Adeem lives his life in the shadows of Stockholm, stealing memories from unsuspecting humans whenever it suits him. But with a knack for getting into trouble, and a serious hatred for authority, his life is about to take a turn. Finding out that the new Guardian of Stockholm hosts a sleeping dragon inside is a problem he can't ignore. As the first dragon Guardian, Kyung has to play his cards right - especially if he wants to destroy the institution that ruined his life. The council has ruled the world for too long, rewriting history to suit their cause. But when Kyung crosses paths with Adeem, the demon that has chased off all the previous Guardians of Stockholm, he knows this is his one chance to set his plans for revenge in motion. But trust between a demon and a dragon is difficult at best. Impossible, at worst. However, the moment Kyung realizes his dragon is about to wake up, everything changes. Absolutely everything.

WARNING: THIS CONTAINS VIOLENCE, SWEARING AND GRAPHIC SEX. Family is everything. Never betray the family. When Roman Figorerri returns to the States after staying years away, he has only two objectives on his mind: taking over his family's criminal empire and avenging his parent's deaths. To achieve this he must take a hidden position under the rival O' Connor family to tear them down. He meets the enigmatic Neil, whose strange approach and personality makes him question everything he ever stood for. Neil O' Connor is the youngest child and black sheep in a family of brilliant criminals. Hard to understand and more dangerous than many may think, his fascination with Roman may very well be the end of him. Especially with the secrets he hides and chaos he's capable of.

"I didn't know you had friends like Isaac," Willa said in greeting. "I don't," muttered Jared. Isaac rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you don't. You have //one// friend like Isaac." His voice turned into this stupid mock whisper and he leaned towards Jared conspiratorially. "It's me, by the way."

After some rough years Matthew O'Neill is trying to piece together a new life with all good things. A pretty, if maybe super religious girlfriend, a group of close, if somewhat crazy friends, a loving, if a bit unusual family. But his mind is still a mess sometimes. Especially when it comes to Allen Thomas. The new dorky student with the wild red hair and bluest eyes ever who just can't seem to leave him alone. Or is it maybe the other way around? _______________________ There was a split second when we smiled at each other in understanding, a tiny fragment of the reality, that we didn't have anything in common. I quickly looked over to the lockers again, but new kid didn't seem to get it, still smiling in the corner of my eye. "I didn't quite catch you name?" "Matt. Actually it's Matthew," I said for some reason, like I seriously cared. "Right, I'm terrible with names. Especially today, I feel like I've met a thousand people already. Matthew, I'll remember that." Well he wouldn't have to. I kinda liked the dry, soft way he said my name though, and the fact that he actually said it, not just the short version, that too many times sounded like a sheep baahing. I actually kinda hated it when people called me Matt.

A BUNCH OF STUFF ELIZABETH ("please for the love of god call me El") THROPP DOESN'T EXPECT: 1. Her mom signing her up to be a counselor at her old summer camp ("I don't care if it's for extra credit, mom!"). 2. That children are this annoying ("no, you can't have another stupid cookie"). 3. Sharing a cabin with Grace Upland ("who's like, a total bitch"). 4. (Sure as hell) that she really doesn't mind it ("like, at all"). 5. Something else, but that's for later.

Leaving a troubled past behind, Dylan starts his first day at a new high school. He's soon wrapped up in his new life, meeting new friends and especially someone to take his mind off the things that happened. However, the past has a way of catching up, and how does he think he can get someone else out of their misery if he can't even help himself? Dylan knows he should know better than to fall for someone new, but Zach isn't just anyone. He's the guy with a face of stone and eyes as cold as a winter's night - a guy without a heart - or so it would seem... They won't like each other at all, they will hate - hate each other senseless. But perhaps that senselessness is what will get them out of their troubles once and for all.

I just smirked at the way they all looked down on me. The way they all try to trip me down and glare like they can kill me with one look. I could easily laugh their stupidity and small minds as I make it through the day the way I've always done it. By myself. With no friends. No family. I don't cry myself to sleep hoping that my prince will come and save me... I don't beg those dimwitted jocks to stop giving me a hard time whenever they get the chance. I don't try to fit in when the person I'll hurt the most is myself by lying. I don't wish that my dead parents will come back when I know they won't. I don't do this because I, Carter Summers, am a strong willed person that knows the sad fact that this.... This... is my reality..... When Carter gets a small request from a teacher for his creative way of writing. He temporarily joins the newspaper club to gain extra credit to assure his scholarship. His job is to answer questions from the entire Newton High's students and give them advice. But since the entire population hates him for being homosexual, he does this in secret by answering within the papers, and goes by the name of... Reality. ***Cover by RougeHopes*** #19 in Teen Fiction
