Awsten is a total zumiez-worker reject who's just barely skating by in his senior year; key word, barely. To get his last credit in order to graduate, he's forced to join a club by his principle. The only one still welcoming members happens to be the gay straight alliance, or GSA which Geoff, a childhood best friend of his happens to be the leader of. Problem: Awsten doesn't even know what the first letter of LGBTQIA stands for.

"Heroin, my sweetest sin..." he says. "I can't seem to get enough!" he screams. "Pull me under and wake me up," he grits through his teeth. "Morphine lover, make me numb!" he shouts. "Make it so I can't get up..." he cries. "Be my heroine." ;;tw drug use, abuse, self-harm, mental illness

Geoff's an inexperienced lifeguard with a deep, dark secret he doesn't dare tell his friends: he's gayer than Neil Patrick Harris riding Nyan Cat's rainbow dick through the sky while making out with hot shirtless alien men. Awsten's a model on hiatus who hasn't worn short sleeves since November. One chance encounter at the Houston Community Pool could mean absolutely nothing...or it could change their lives forever. Given that this is a gay fanfic written by a queer hormonal teenage boy, the second option is more likely. If you need anything tagged as triggering, tell me.

While living in a world full of rainbow pens, fat pigeons, sarcastic mothers, and Tumblr, the drama surrounding Vic Fuentes is just the icing on the cake for YouTuber Kellin Quinn. Can this flamboyant high school student survive it all while striving for the cute guy who secretly watches his videos? (Originally written by @TheCancerPatient)

Awsten hurts his knee, and Geoff is an angel.

All things happen for a reason, don't they? When Awsten found out his second-semester elective was woodshop, he wholeheartedly disagreed with that statement. Surely being put into woodshop was simply a meaningless annoyance. He was wrong. If his schedule had said something different, he'd never have dropped the class and applied to be a teacher's aide, and he'd never have bothered to talk to Geoff Wigington, and he'd definitely never have discovered the unlikely similarity between them.

(alternatively called: slow burn, second-hand embarrassment, and shenanigans) A girl made up of short fuses, clumsy feet and copious amounts of sarcasm has to team up with her irritatingly obnoxious neighbour in the name of love (also known as raging teenage hormones). Because in the grand scheme of things, what's a little deal with the devil? (Spoiler Alert: absolute chaos.) cover by xdemonsflowerx
