Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it. [Word count: 100,000-150,000 words] Cover designed by Lily Taylor Please read the 'Introduction' for a full list of content/trigger warnings

ROMANCE/BL The big window. That was where it all began. 'The window to the souls of many' he had once said. For the longest time, Ben had never understood what he actually meant by that. But it must have had significance to him, as at this time, every day he would come in. Order his crusty white baguette, with either a chicken or tuna filling, with an ice cold milk on the side. And there he would take his place on the metal stool, two in from the left and he would just gaze out of that window, watching the world go by...

Jackson Lancaster is a sheltered Canadian boy who's new to the concept of the American Dream thanks to tragic circumstances and a new path in life. He longs to be loved and cared for...by another man: an unheard-of concept in the early 1960's outside of secret clubs and hotel bedrooms. Bobby Kennedy is the second most powerful man in America, with more than one secret to keep. He exudes a tough and resilient nature, yet behind closed doors, he holds a soft spot for his new secretary that soon goes far beyond the norms of friendship...a secretary that just so happens to be a man. As the two men fall in love, they expect hardship...yet as they navigate through such hardships as their personal demons, family secrets that weren't meant to come out from under the carpet, and essentially surviving as representatives from a bygone era through one of the most chaotic and countercultural chapters of American history....their love only intensifies over time. From 1961 to 1968, both men experience an epic, romantic and emotional adventure as they share one of the greatest love stories never told...until now! ******************************************************** "𝙸 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞, 𝙱𝚘𝚋𝚋𝚢."
