Phil's been hiding the fact that he's an Earthbender for ten years, ever since it's been considered illegal when the Fire Nation invaded. And, of course, the only solution to a random Fire Nation soldier seeing him earthbending is to kidnap him, right? creds to @xSillyTilly for the awesome cover! (ominousdan.tumblr.com)

Phil is in love with his best friend Dan, whom is dating a girl named Becca. After 6 months, Phil can't take it anymore, sending him over the edge. After Dan finds him on the roof, about to jump, how will Phil cope keeping his real reason away from Dan? This was originally just a one-shot from my book of them, however I liked it too much to just leave it at that! Rated PG-13 as there are mentions of suicide, sexual references and there will be swearing throughout this book. boyXboy as per usual. ©chloemitzu [PG-13] Parents Strongly Cautioned

Part 1 of the infamous series. Feelings appear. Sparks fly. Love rises. Problems occur. Please note: This story is now very old (7 years old in 2020) and I'd like to think my writing has improved since then! There are a bunch of cringey parts and bad writing in here, but enjoy and thanks for reading! :)
