Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #1- college roommates- 12.30.25🥇 #1- mental health- 01.02.2026 🥇 #1- gay love- 01.02.2026 🥇 #2- roommates- 12.18.25🥈 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #14- boyxboyromance- 12.15.25 #22- basketball- 12.15.25

I met a man. He's not kind. He's not cruel. He's just... unreadable. I'm a mess-clumsy, anxious, barely holding it together. He watches me like he's waiting for me to unravel. Then he sees a crack in my life- and wedges himself in like rot in old wood. One deal. And suddenly, he owns me. My time. My body. My silence. He doesn't want my heart. He wants control. He won't stop until I'm broken open, and what's left belongs only to him.

--- Noah Everly thought teaching at an elite private school in the heart of the city would be an escape-a chance to fade into the background, to quietly exist. But from the moment he stepped into his classroom, he felt it. The heavy, burning gaze of a predator. Kieran Wolfe isn't just another student. He's obsessed. His teacher is his. No one else should look at him. No one else should speak to him. And Noah certainly shouldn't be resisting him. From subtle manipulations to outright stalking, Kieran's obsession knows no bounds. He leaves gifts, invades Noah's space, and watches his every move. When jealousy takes hold, things turn even darker. No one is safe. Not Noah's colleagues. Not his friends. Not even Noah himself. Because Kieran won't stop until Noah realizes the truth. He was never free. He was always Kieran's to own.

Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape.

LANDON KING x JEREMY VOLKOV There's something about Him that I can't quite shake. An unexplainable obsession that consumes my thoughts, driving me to extremes I never thought possible. He's become more than just a rival; he's an enigma I'm determined to unravel. As my obsession with him intensifies, so does my vow to destroy him. I'll tear down everything he holds dear, leaving him broken and defeated. When our rivalry reaches its climax, I'll emerge victorious, owning him in every sense of the word. Disclaimer: I DO NOT own most of the characters. They are a part of the Legacy of Gods series by Rina Kent. This is merely my take on 'what could have been.' Disclaimer 2.0: Landon and Jeremy (along with all the other characters in this story) are my interpretations of them from Brandon and Nikolai's POVs, because they're my babies. Most-if not all-of the characters differ from their RKverse versions, personality wise. There were things I disliked about the OCs, so I took the creative liberty to change them in this fanfic according to my moral compass. As a result, they might be boring to some. I'm just putting this disclaimer here so no one ends up disappointed. In other words: reduce your expectations to zero.
