a story where two boys meet at boarding school.

What do you do when you're given a second chance at life? *** Age 15: Oliver Sallow is shipped to the tiny town of Blissby to live with a new foster family. Finn O'Connell is captain of the football team. Neither of them knows much about the other except for one thing: they have absolutely nothing in common. Age 17: Oliver finds Finn having a panic attack in the library bathroom. They still have nothing in common. They fall in love all the same. Age 18: Oliver breaks up with Finn. Age 18.5: Oliver dies in a motorcycle accident. Six minutes and twenty-four seconds later, he wakes up again to be offered a deal: he will get to spend another twelve months as a guardian angel, neither fully dead nor completely alive. The catch: the person he is assigned to help is none other than Finn O'Connell. Age 19: Two boys, fourteen months of history, and a promise: this time, there can be no falling back in love.

I've recently been diagnosed, and this is mainly an outlet and a place to find people like me dealing with the same thing... I guess

Robin Rose doesn't know a lot of stuff, despite being two months out from his high school graduation. However, there is one thing he is absolutely sure of: nobody can know that he is an omega. Not his bully, not his classmates, not his friends, not anybody he may meet in the future, and especially-above all-not his alpha best friend, Jude Silas. Robin just can't risk it. He lives in a world where being a male omega is so frowned upon that it has torn families apart. It's ruined relationships-friendships, most importantly. Robin absolutely refuses to tell anybody, no matter how many lies he has to keep straight in the process. His plans of taking this secret to his grave are going swimmingly, with a few minor hiccups. Robin is completely prepared to take suppressants and scent blockers the rest of his life, and just pretend like he never presented. He will be careful about this. Nobody will know. He's so close to finishing high school-to entering a new chapter of his life. It's all going to work out... As long as he remembers to take his medicine. [] [] [] Rankings: #1 LGBT #1 bxb #1 omegaverse #3 teen fiction !!WARNINGS: smut and swearing, and there's also an incident with drugging though it's nothing graphic. I'm pretty sure that's it tbh. Also the mc is really stupid if that matters. [[TEMPORARY BREAK UP/5 YEAR EPILOGUE TIME SKIP]] I'd also like to specify that I did not put much effort into this story since the entire reason I wrote it was to get over writer's block for another book, so if you're thinking about leaving criticism you should probably know I'm already well aware of all of its flaws. Thank you:)

Angst. That's what being a teenager is all about, right? When Nico finally decides on coming out to Percy and admitting to his crush on the son of Poseidon, it's not the scenario he exactly wanted. Sure, he's okay with it. But now things are weird. It's awkward. And it's almost worse than how it was before. At least they could talk to each other before.

Two months after finding out that they have magical abilities, Quinn is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they're a witch. It becomes even more difficult when another, significantly more troubling talent starts to emerge: the ability to see ghosts. ***** Even though Quinn tries to ignore the spirits haunting the old college campus, they soon find themself inexplicably drawn to Vincent, a boy from the 1930s with a sweet disposition and a tragic past, and his rag-tag group of ghosts. Before they know it, they find themself on a desperate hunt for answers and artifacts from their former lives, aided by Luis, a charming coffin maker with a penchant for the paranormal who Quinn can't seem to stay away from. In the end, it all comes down to one question: to accept or not to accept their magic? Spoiler alert: caring more and more about the ghosts you're supposed to set free doesn't make things easier. This is a spin-off to LOVE AND OTHER WICKED THINGS but can be read as a stand-alone. Content warning: this story contains themes of anxiety, death, insomnia, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of cancer, mentions of drug overdose, mentions of motorcycle accident, mentions of parental neglect, paranoia, panic attack

Nico Di Angelo finds himself in a predicament as two alternate universes are brought into collision by fate itself. Here, there is no Will. There is no Percy. And there is no Nico di Angelo. He is now Harry Potter, and knows nothing of his identity as he is thrust into the convoluted world of witchcraft and wizardry. Desperate to return and unaware of the growing attention he is bringing upon himself, Nico di Angelo has a hard pill to swallow: there are devils more sinister than Lord Voldemort, and none the wiser than Dumbledore. --- Current word count: (51,000+) Chapters: 7 --- Posted on AO3 with further editing --- Cover art Matt Talbert. This is not a Penguin Classic but I'm a sucker for those covers. Note: this body of work is being heavily edited. The original story was written nearly a decade ago and I'm intent on rewriting this to hell, even at 22. Now buckle up. I'll finish this shitshow one way or another!

"I'd tie our hearts together, chamber by chamber." Simon said that once. But even a journey across half of America isn't making the whole coming-to-terms-after-being-the-Chosen-One any easier. If anything, it's worse. All of it is. Because Simon can't hide behind a shrug, an "I don't know", or cans of cider anymore. He has to talk about what's going on in his head. **WARNING: WAYWARD SON SPOILERS**
