Tadgh Lynch had a fractured past. Life hadn't been kind, and it took him until he was eleven to realise he could fight for something better. Starting at Tommen College in first year felt like stepping into another universe. Polished floors, towering ceilings, students who seemed born to belong. He didn't. Not then. Not now. Over time, he carved out a place for himself, slowly earning respect, slowly learning who he was. But the cracks in his mind, the remnants of his old life, never fully healed. He kept to the same group of friends, the same girls he messed around with, the same routines that kept him safe. And then Aidan Kelly arrived, and Tadgh's world quietly shifted. Aidan moved through life with precision and confidence, already knowing who he was and what he wanted. He carried himself with a certainty Tadgh couldn't yet understand, a knowledge of himself that made everything else feel... unfamiliar. Aidan had grown up under pressure, believing everything he did had to be flawless. Mistakes weren't allowed, nothing was ever enough. He didn't understand why his mind worked that way until he was diagnosed with OCD. Routines became his armor, loops his comfort. Then Tommen College offered him a scholarship, opening a world full of new faces, new expectations, and new opportunities. He had learned who he was long before he arrived. Tadgh, on the other hand, had no idea that the life he thought he knew could bend in a completely different direction. He didn't know he could feel for another boy until Aidan showed him it was possible, slowly turning everything Tadgh thought he understood about love and desire upside down.

Niamh Kavanagh (Baby Kav/ Johnny's younger sister) and Gerard (Gibson/ Gibs). What else do I need to say to sell you?

Alma never imagined that her life would end when it had only begun. She lived in a small town with her strict grandmother, who never once showed her an ounce of affection. Until one day she woke up in a room that was not hers and even her body was different. When she realizes that she has been reincarnated as the villainess in her mother's favorite novel. She is determined to change her depressing fate. - "Shh, I am here. You are safe," My heart trembled as I recognized that deep male voice. "***!" I gasped and my head rapidly spun to him... I was met by his handsome face, cold as ever, those ***** eyes of his scanning each inch of me... "They hurt you," His sharp jaw ticked... "I will make them pay, darling," He promised -

Journee Lynch has always lived in the shadows-of her siblings, her twin Joey, and the trauma she's quietly carried alone. In a family bursting with strong personalities and loud voices, Journee is the one everyone forgets. Quiet, scarred, and painfully overlooked, she's learned to expect invisibility. Hughie Biggs, on the other hand, can't afford to go unnoticed. The golden boy of Tommen, he's the picture of perfection: top of his class, star on the field, and the pride of his family. But the pressure to be flawless is suffocating, and mistakes are not part of his reality. Their worlds collide when Hughie stumbles upon Journee-the girl no one sees but who captures all of him. In her, he finds something real. Something raw. And as he begins to uncover the layers of the girl everyone overlooks, he finds himself captivated by the very imperfections she's been taught to hide.

Niamh Lynch is used to surviving. She's the girl with fire in her blood, fists always clenched, and walls built so high no one dares to look over them - not even her twin brother, Joey. Between school fights, late shifts, and raising her younger siblings in a house ruled by silence and bruises, Niamh doesn't have time for softness. Or love. Or hope. She's burning herself out to keep everyone else warm. Then there's Gerard Gibson. Loud, ridiculous, golden-hearted Gibsie - the boy who makes people laugh without trying, who hides his own cracks behind chaos. He shouldn't see her. But he does. And worse, he stays. Even when Niamh gives him every reason not to. This is a story about broken kids from broken homes, about anger and tenderness, violence and healing. It's about finding light in the wreckage - not because you believe you deserve it, but because someone refuses to stop giving it to you. Niamh doesn't believe in love. But Gibsie never needed her to. ------------------------------- Gerard Gibson x fem!oc
