For seventeen-year-old Kiyan bhardwaj life has never been kind. Although he is only 17, his official documents claim he is 19-a lie carefully created by his father, Aman Bhardwaj, to hide a scandal that would destroy the Bhardwaj family's reputation. The forged age conceals years of abuse, neglect, and the truth behind Aman's affair. After skipping several grades, Kiyan is already studying in college. Quiet, brilliant, and painfully lonely, he has spent his entire life enduring cruelty at the hands of the man who should have protected him. Then everything becomes even worse. Kiyan is abducted by the Bhardwaj family's greatest enemies-the powerful Sharma family. Believing him to be nothing more than Aman Bhardwaj's beloved son, they chain him, starve him, and punish him for the smallest mistakes, determined to make Aman suffer through his child. But Aman never comes. He never searches. Because the boy being tortured was never important to him. What the Sharma family doesn't know is that the helpless prisoner they call a slave is actually their own blood... Their youngest half-brother. Aryan Sharma, Vivaan Sharma, Rudra Sharma, and Dev Sharma have spent years hating the woman who helped his Father's Enemy to destroy and murder there father . When the truth finally comes to light, the brothers who broke him will have to face a devastating question: Can blood erase the scars left by cruelty... or is some forgiveness impossible, even between brothers?

Between the two of them, Osamu had always been more liked. Well, maybe not when it came to Sakusa, but in every other aspect. Where Atsumu was sassy and arrogant, he was mature and calmer. Where Atsumu was known for being a self-entitled asshole, Osamu got popular for his quiet yet kind nature. And where Atsumu got insecure, hiding it with layers upon layers of masks and always got in trouble with his mother, Osamu didn't notice. And neither did the team. It seemed as if he was caught in a ticking time bomb, and the situation was just waiting for the right moment to explode in order to create more damage, both to himself and everyone around him.

Even acting against a psychopath that caused Finn to lose the majority of his hearing. Adjusting to his new situation poses many difficulties, leaving him to recede from his life and friends. Sage is willing to do anything that will revive the boyfriend he worked two years for from the empty shell who's been by his side. But instead of crafting their love anew, a terrible rift emerges.

Their sovereign is a feared figure. One that people say is a terribly beautiful man with eyes of sapphire blue. The same man whose gaze never strays from his heart's desire. He's the one who watches his muse from the shadows, and sculpts him to be his in the light.

Jackson Cooper is your usual player, the charming heartbreaker, lover of the chase, indifferent to love and relationships. Except in this story, he's gay. And a little kinky. But otherwise, the textbook player who drops flings the moment they get too close, even if it means being a little cruel. Then one day he meets his match in Mr. Sawyer, the king of finance on the West Coast, wealth embodied, a cool, collected, and cold-hearted heartthrob who has Jackson questioning every part of himself and who he thought he was. * * * Excerpt: Mr. Sawyer breathes in sharply. He glances at the roses and chocolate. "I don't do romance." Jackson touches the hand on his chest, fingertips dancing lightly across the tendons, the slim wrist, the soft, sensitive undersides. Mr. Sawyer's eyes, stormy blue, lock onto his. "This isn't romance, Mr. Sawyer. This is seduction." "One and the same." Jackson leans forward and brings his lips to Mr. Sawyer's neck. He hears a muffled noise and leans back until his mouth reaches Mr. Sawyer's ear, very proud of the light flush on his neck. "Not in the slightest." * * * Or: Jackson Cooper thinks he's got everything figured out, and Weston Sawyer proves him otherwise. * * * Warnings & Disclaimers inside.

Spencer and Cooper just graduated high school. To celebrate, the two life long best friends head to Miami for a two week vacation. Having only enough money to make it to Miami and party for the two weeks, the young boys find themselves in an adult film studio. After agreeing to a scene with them and a girl the studio hired, they sat waiting patiently for the girls arrival. When she's mysteriously a no show, the studio offers them a different type of scene. One without the girl but twice the pay. Without money to get home, reluctantly the two "straight" best friends agree. Sadly, the boys didn't add the price of their friendship to the cost of getting home. Had they, maybe they would have chosen differently... maybe not. Warning: This story contains detailed mature encounters of two consenting adults. They both happen to be male so if that's not your thing, please do not read. The story also contains strong language some may take offence to.

Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)

When Isaac Tissera accidentally becomes the target of the most popular girl in school, escaping her attention without destroying his social life seems impossible. Until Nate Bedford offers him a solution: Pretend they're dating. Nate is confident, popular, frustratingly attractive, but worst of all, his older brother's best friend- meaning fake dating him should be a complete disaster. Instead, it works ridiculously well. As rumours spread through school and their fake relationship becomes more convincing by the day, Isaac finds himself caught between what everyone else believes and what he's trying very hard not to feel. But the closer he gets to Nate, the more obvious it becomes that maybe Nate has been keeping some things that Isaac should've known about... And when the truth finally comes out, it threatens to destroy both of them.
