The two have their differences - Taylor's a musical geek, a natural talent with the piano, and Darko's a gifted dirt-bike enthusiast - but they both share a life-changing secret. Taylor's bisexual, Darko's gay, and they are both secretly in love with each other. Over the years, the two have suppressed their feelings, cruising through high school. While it's been easy presenting as macho straight dudes, both boys are sick of the façade, each toying with the idea of coming out in their own unique ways. It's never that easy, though. They're both entangled in two complicated webs--one filled with grief and guilt and another filled with lies--and both have got to navigate through them before either can find the true happiness they seek. Sometimes, however, the silky threads of the web are more comforting than the unknown abyss below. Will they come clean about their feelings? Or will they keep a straight face until the very end? ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ This story is exclusive to my Wattpad and Patreon pages.

"The moment that Jordan Shearer steps into the classroom, Lee knows that he's not from around here." Preslash short between two boys from two very different backgrounds.

Love is a process. ***************** Ridge 'Bear' Peskini just wanted to spend a quiet summer in his family's cabin to clear his head like he did every year. Doesn't sound like too much to ask for right? Wrong. His sister decided that it was a good idea sent her latest client, award-winning author Ulrich Feist, at the last minute to finish his latest novel in semi-solitude. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't a broody, temperamental man-child with an utter disdain for anything McDonald's and didn't make Ridge's heart beat so fast all the time.

I am the famous and great... Luke Fayne Lewis. Well, if your definition of "famous" means you're the center of attention everyday because the popular and homophobic jock Xander Smith is always making fun of me then you'll be correct . So yeah, Xander! What a stupid name but it suits his personality really well. He's been my mortal enemy since freshman year after I came out and has made my high school life like a living hell, literally. He is the most dumb close minded person I've ever met. He's filthy rich and his family is influential. I'm not afraid of what he can do to me anymore and I'm not just going to let him pick on me this time. However, his bestfriend Ethan Wright is hotter, wiser and a perfect boyfriend material. His kindness towards everyone is just a big bonus. Even though I can't wait to graduate and leave this school then move on to college, this is my last year, my last chance to have my first boyfriend and make my move on Ethan. I promise he will be my man and that my evil plan won't fail me.

Kadence is your normal and regular 16 year old boy....as long as being absolutely crazy/random, talking when he thinks he's thinking, getting into trouble with his equally crazy best friend Chris, trying to avoid his homophobic bully Lucas, and most of all being absolutely crazy in love with his best friend's STRAIGHT brother Jace....then yes Kadence is as normal as they come. What is Kadence going to do when he somehow agrees to becoming a slave to the guy that makes up his dreams at night in return for protection from his bully? Nothing could possibly go wrong, right?!

Will King-to-be Benjamin fall for his shy and adorable fiancé? Or will he drive him away? ... Some humour, some angst and romance all around. ... Cover by the lovely @vastheavens

From the start Josh had never thought this could happen to him, but this is what happens when you get caught masturbating in the locker room after a tournament. I mean c'mon! Steaming muscly angry men grabbing at each other repeatedly? Wrestling will do that to you... It led him to Cris, and a blooming romance apparently. Pure smut, and drama.

Arden McHale used to be part of the best relationship in history, in his own opinion. Until his now-ex-girlfriend decided to cheat on him. Then, well, things went a little downhill. What do you do when your girlfriend since senior year breaks up with you? You go get drunk. Hammered. Smashed. Wasted. And you wake up next to someone else with a splitting headache. You didn't ask questions. You just do it. However, what Arden wasn't expecting, was to wake up next to another guy. He wasn't expecting the other guy to be in an abusive relationship, either. So now what's the plan? Try to help his new 'friend' through his unstable relationship, and at the same time trying to come to terms with his new found sexuality. Of course, the frequent sex doesn't really help. But who's he to complain about it? WARNING: GRAPHIC SCENES AND MENTIONS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE, MILDLY GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF RAPE
