Twenty-one-year-old Flynn is homeless, technically, but he still has a roof over his head and food in his belly, so it's fine. This whole thing wasn't even his fault. Really! He just witnessed something awful, called the cops, and then his landlord-or whatever that tattooed man he paid rent to was-kicked him out. Cam and Justin are twenty-five and have known each other for nearly their entire lives. They share a beautiful home and run a successful antiquing business, but beneath the surface, they've been struggling ever since their years of caring for Justin's terminally ill sister came to its natural end. They've always had the most fun when they brought in a third, and when they meet Flynn, they're instantly smitten-charmed by this sweet, bumbling boy who so clearly needs a helping hand. But Flynn isn't looking for a one-night stand. He's looking for a home. Is bringing him into their lives really a good idea?

Sam's job is to make a record of cultures before the drones come and destroy them. He's supposed to take artefacts, not people. Kias doesn't know what's going on, but there are metal monsters flying around killing people and he doesn't want to be next, even if to live he has to give up the freedom he's only just reclaimed.

Eighteen year old Ethan is autistic, loves plants, and sometimes makes bad choices. Like going for a walk at the bottom of a seaside cliffside when the tide is coming in. He might die. Rue's just finished high school and now he's stuck in a rut-and in the closet-with no social life and a home life he'd rather avoid. He's engaging in one of his favourite hobbies, stranding himself on the beach and waiting for the tide to free him, when he spots someone less intentionally stuck in the same predicament.

"Getting a Clue" is a slice-of-life story about Casper, an autistic gay teen whose most meaningful relationship is with his dog, Pippi, and whose safe space is his closet-literally. Enter Jethro: confident, boldly expressive, and inexplicably interested in Casper's prickly brand of charm. As Casper battles his instinct to retreat from every social encounter, Jethro patiently flirts his way past Casper's defences. Together, they navigate the minefield of high school, gender expectations, and first love, all while Casper tries to figure out why the hell anyone would voluntarily seek out human connection. With a healthy dose of snark and a dash of awkward romance, this tale proves that sometimes the biggest dramas in life are just... life. Will Casper figure out how to be a functioning human being? Will Jethro ever stop looking unfairly hot in tights? And how hard do you have to flirt before an oblivious gay boy gets a fucking clue? (Warning: Contains catastrophic attempts at small talk, impromptu bus adventures, and a surprising amount of fairy bread.)

When things with his step brother finally escalate too far and Gabe gets seriously injured, he's sent to stay with another family for a while. Unfortunately the guy Gabe's sharing bunk beds with has taken an instant dislike to him for no apparent reason.

Tristan has been going through the motions for a while, never quite fitting in and always feeling like an outsider. When his dad finds his sketchbook filled with personal drawings and kicks him out of the house, Tristan decides he's had enough. He grabs his dog, Sadie, hops in his car, and leaves without looking back. But at only sixteen, Tristan quickly realises that life on his own isn't going to be easy.
