Tristan thrives whenever he can speak, whether it be on stage or in high-stake debates. Having worked his way up into Oxford, he has rapidly become one of the best speakers for the debating union whilst striving for nothing less than to become a renowned politician. When the stakes of the debate rise high, and the argumentation flows he is in his element - but when silence falls, the arguments begin to turn against himself. For Hibiki, words never flow. From a young age, he has been mute, and social interactions are always convoluted and difficult to navigate. No matter how intelligent he is, he finds himself stranded in isolation from the rest of the world as his well-to-do family keeps him sheltered. So when he sees Tristan speak at his first-year introduction at Oxford, he can't help but find himself completely infatuated and knows that he must meet with him no matter what. Yet the sheen of high society wears off quickly, only to reveal the cracks in their souls. Will the shards of their broken pasts leave them both hurting, or do they fit together better than any words could ever express?

It's tough, being best friends with the person you love. Especially if the feeling is... mutual? Wait, what? Truly, neither Mason Byrd nor Cody O'Neill wanted to be just friends. It's just that Cody was fast in the swimming pool but not so much when it came to realising feelings, and Mason was terrified of losing their friendship. Enter Mason's brother asking one stupid question during a college drinking game, and that fear might well become reality. With Mason making terrible panicked decisions to continue hiding his love, and Cody repressing his newfound 'unrequited' crush to focus on his swimming career, one thing's certain: getting where they both wanted to be won't be easy.

[BxB] Waking up next to someone after having a little too much to drink was no new, riveting story in this day and age. Waking up next to another boy, when you were also a boy, was a little more interesting, but still nothing to write home about. But waking up in Nico Beckett's sheets? To Wesley, it was a nightmare come to life. ~~~ Wesley Dillon's life was uneventful, and frankly, he liked it that way. He didn't get into trouble, he kept his grades up, he played it safe. He never did anything to rock the boat he was floating in, the calm waters of his lake left undisturbed. Now starting his last year in high school, Wes was content to continue living his life as he always has - but sometimes, and only sometimes, he caught himself wishing that something could make ripples in his tiny world. What he wasn't ready for were the waves that were Nico Beckett - a troublemaker, womaniser, and an incredibly popular boy at his school. He was everything Wes was not. Nico was the type of guy that Wes never wanted to associate with, but after waking up in his arms with panic in his chest and pains everywhere else, he realised that his life was going to get much, much more complicated. It took him everything to try not to drown as the waves pulled him further and further down. But, somewhere along the way, he wasn't sure that drowning was actually a bad thing. ~~~ #1 in romance (29/09/19) #1 in LGBT (07/09/2019) #1 in bxb (07/09/2019) #1 in boyxboy (08/09/2019) #1 in gay (11/09/2019) #1 in highschool (29/09/19) #1 in school (17/10/19) #1 in comingofage (01/10/19) #1 in slowburn (02/10/19) #1 in BL (04/10/19) #1 in lovetriangle (05/10/19) #1 in family (31/10/19) #1 in comingoutofthecloset (08/01/20) #1 in writtenwithpride (19/06/21) #4 in love (07/03/21)
