Basta BL (UNDER MAJOR REVISION)

THIS IS A BL STORY! Jessie Massimo Valdez has always known how to disappear quietly. In a town that never truly felt like his, with a grief he's never dared to name, Jessie keeps his head down, his walls up, and his heart on lockdown. Summer isn't a season for him, it's a slow, aching memory of everything he's lost. Then came Rowan Anders Quirino Jr. Leather jacket. Big city mouth. A past he won't talk about and a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. He doesn't belong here, not with his cassette tapes and storm-chaser energy. And yet, somehow, he fits too quickly, too dangerously. Set in a sleepy coastal town in the Visayas during the summer of 2003, Somewhere Beneath the Sun is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance about grief, identity, and the way certain people arrive like sunsets, quiet, beautiful, and impossible to forget. To him, summer was a lifetime. To you, it was just a moment.

In a cutthroat pre-law program, Jackson clashes with Kenzo, the arrogant classmate he can't stand, until he discovers that the very man who infuriates him holds the key to his freedom to become who he truly wants to be. *** Jackson Ramirez is done with broken promises-his mother's sacrifices, his father's prison sentence, and the suffocating pre-law program he never wanted. The last thing he needs is Kenzo Adachi, the arrogant classmate who gets under his skin. But when animosity sparks into something deeper, Jackson must deal with a past that ties their families together in betrayal. In the wreckage of secrets and pain, will Jackson and Kenzo choose each other in the end? DISCLAIMER: This story is written in Taglish. COVER DESIGN: Rayne Mariano ILLUSTRATOR: Ri Ot

BL

SUPERFICIAL THINGS Trivial drama. Stupid games. Petty deals. 
Things Fiel never imagined he'd be dragged into, especially not after finally making it to college. He had only two priorities: school and family. That was the plan. But within the first few weeks, reality hit harder than he expected. Overwhelmed and cornered, he found himself making a deal he never thought he'd consider; with none other than the school's infamous heartbreaker. Karson Icarus Silverio. A name that screamed wealth, charm, and trouble. All Karson wanted was to win over Fiel's best friend. And Fiel? He just wanted the cash. Becoming a reluctant wingman felt like a small price to pay...at first. But as the days blurred and boundaries thinned, Fiel began to realize something unsettling: nothing was going according to plan. And maybe, there was more between him and Silverio than either of them cared to admit. Questions started to race in his head. How long could they keep pretending? 
And when would they admit that these weren't just superficial things anymore? Nonetheless, when a pill is begging to be swallowed, it would be difficult to deny it. Not when it keeps you up until dawn.
