In which Josh is a guard at an asylum and Simon as a patient at the same asylum. Shit happens.

Seven boys, seven pasts, one destiny. In an alternate universe there are two types of human. Normal and Shifters. Shifters have the ability to morph into one particular animal, they also carry those traits on into their human form. Life would be amazing for them...if they weren't hunted every day of their lives... Sidemen ft. The Pack, Cal's of Lux and Freezy plus a few others!

Seven criminals, Several crimes, Several reasons, This made up the most feared criminal group around. Well, For now at least. Because nothing lasts forever, right?

Simon and JJ are adoptive dads to five very different boys. Follow this family of seven through the laughter, the tears, and ultimately the joy that comes from them being together. Note: Ages are altered for this story.

It's funny how things work out. In 2010, eighteen year old Josh disappears one night without a trace. Now, six years later, his closest friends are about to risk everything to bring him home. Warnings: themes of kidnapping and physical, emotional and sexual abuse

Josh was in a pickle. He had mouths to feed and not a lot of money to do that, so he was desperate. One day, he finds a poster for a missing man named Simon Minter, and intends to find him for whatever reason. The thing was, Simon isn't ready to be found. Inspiration: Lost Boy by Troye Sivan (not based off the song I just got inspiration for this from that song) Warning: Josh and Simon won't meet in the first few chapters also written as if taken place in America because that's easiest for me NO SIDESHIPS

I had climbed so high, nearly reaching the summit, building boundaries and bridges to get to where I had got with her. But for something went wrong. I was so near the peak I could touch it, feel it's comforts upon my skin. Instead I watched as it all swirled in a blurry mix of colours as I fell. Gravity pulled me to were all my friends and family stood with their arms out waiting to catch me. In that moment, as I was hurtling down, tears streaming down my face, I watched nearly every single façade diminished. Even the strong actors, and good liars could not hide it from me. Then I saw him. Simon Minter. With his lanky limbs outstretched and so I fell into his arms, like a star falling to earth or a feather falling from the sky. I landed in his embrace, allowing my story to continue...

when the unexpected happens, it becomes even harder to expect the outcome. especially when you add love, lust, and illness into the mix.
