Every few centuries, a Great Hero is born to defeat a Great Evil. Aven Ellington, the most powerful sorcerer alive, has been called this Hero all his life. But Aven is solitary and withdrawn, and his magic is made of darkness and shadow. When he arrives at the magical Olden Academy, he must come to terms with the fact that he's not the Hero everyone hoped for -- or perhaps even a Hero they want. Noah Penn, a magicless human, is an outcast at Olden. Shy, stubborn, and kind, Noah soon finds his way into Aven's heart -- but can Aven place his trust in someone else when he hardly trusts himself? And will he really bother to save a world that's hell-bent on hating him?

Gabriel Velasques, a closeted, married, bisexual firefighter, meets Nathaniel Park, the station's newest rookie, and begins an affair that will change the course of his entire life. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ 🔥 Book 2 of the True Colours Collection 🔥 Ranked #141 in #Short Story 🔥 Romance, New Adult Fiction, Flash Fiction 🔥 CW: abusive relationships, depression, anxiety, alcoholism, gambling ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ Cover made by @UenoyamaRitsuka [Longer Blurb] Gabriel Velasques has all the fame, wealth and status that comes with being the town's greatest fireman. You would assume that if you had the house of your dreams, a supermodel for a wife, and constant praise and recognition that you'd be set for life, right? Gabriel thought that too. He thought if he had everything else in the world, he'd be able to ignore a certain part of him--a part he was happily content with ignoring and locking away--but his life has been far from ideal. Unhapilly married, smothered by work, and battling a past he doesn't want to confront, Gabriel's mental health is in a serious declination. However, add Nathaniel Park--a cute, gay rookie firefighter--to the mix, and expect an inferno of change. Gabriel knows better to play with things he isn't allowed to touch, but he can't resist. What happens when you play with fire?

Levi wasn't the kind of guy to go around kissing strangers, least of all the insufferable princes these events tended to attract. But something about Prince Charles made him feel a little stupid -- almost stupid enough to believe in love at first sight. ~~~ When Levi, the youngest prince of Arthur Island, is forced by his parents to attend a performative "good relations" ball in their rival country, he can't wait for the night to end. That is, until he meets Prince Charles, the charming heir to the Elizabethan throne. Love is in the air, so palpable they can't seem to escape it no matter how hard they try. As if navigating seventeen-year-old emotions isn't hard enough already, their families drop a bomb that will only make it harder: In the name of permanent peace, Prince Charles is to marry Arthur's youngest royal. No, not Levi. His twin sister, Amelia.

"I fucking hate you." "You shouldn't really say things like that when my dick is up your ass, Norris." Two hot-headed athletes with overflowing rage and unwinding sex drive is very much never a good combo. Bryce and Ian never see eye to eye on things. Despite being caged in the same group of friends in the same swimming team of the - yes, you guessed it - same high school, the star swimmers of Norton High hadn't exactly made good first impressions to each other on the ill-fated day they met, and let's just say things spiraled horribly from there. The two rage-fueled boys always thought that they're in this feud for the long haul until one argument escalated into something that at no point in any of their lives would they allow to happen if only they did not get a little too out of control. Sex. There's a thin line between love and hate, and Bryce and Ian's barrier just keeps getting thinner and thinner. A.K.A. Bryce and Ian were fuckbuddies... up until they weren't.
