While not the most popular of guys, he's got his friends, he's a shoo-in for a baseball scholarship, and he's perfectly content sitting on the sidelines when it comes to his social life. However, when he meets August, a strange but cute boy with a prosthetic leg, there's no denying the connection between them. From friends to more, the two begin to grow a relationship that balances the troubles of their pasts with the hopefulness and acceptance of a future.

Shivawn, Prince of Vileria, is tired of the way he's being smothered in his Kingdom and leaves home every day to a magic waterfall, to be free, to be someone else - to be him. Darius, Prince of Adromena, is more of a rebel and leaves home just to spite his family. Then he mistakenly stumbles upon Shivawn, and his real reason for being rebellious is forgotten. The two princes become great friends, despite the fact that their kingdoms are in the middle of a huge war. When the war between their kingdoms becomes too great, they decide to take matters into their own hands, both tired of the fighting. But it might not have been a very smart idea to run away from home, ON THEIR OWN, to find The Tourmaline, a semi-precious gem rumoured to help create peace where there was war. Follow these helpless princes on their journey of love and discovery and have a laugh or two - or a heart attack. - Copyright © 2013 Viano Oniomoh All rights reserved.

When werewolf Boris was assigned the ungrateful task of guarding a vampire to keep him away from his community, he never expected to fall for the man instead. *** Vampires can't be trusted. Unlike other supernaturals, they depend entirely on blood-preferably that of humans. To allow them to live in Pinewood among humans is inconceivable. Yet, one charismatic vampire named Etienne wants to push for exactly that. In an effort to keep the people of Pinewood safe, Boris, the werewolf guardian of the town, strikes a bargain. He will live with the vampire first. If Etienne can be around him for one month without biting him, he will be allowed to live with the humans. If he fails and takes a nibble of Boris, the deal is off. Boris never expected the bloodthirsty vampire to last longer than a day. But Etienne is not what he expected at all. While he may not be dangerous to the people of Pinewood, however, he definitely is dangerous to Boris in all kinds of other ways.

*COMPLETED* (Y.O.L.O stands for: YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE) *** Carter Jones, the school nerd, and Killian Henderson, the reputated troublemaker, somehow end up getting detention together. "How about we make a bet?" Offered Killian, his pistachio-green eyes drilling into mine as a playful smile lingered on his lips. "A bet?" I gulped, intimidated by how close he was sitting next to me. He nodded and raised four fingers, the ones with the letters "Y.O.L.O" tattooed on them, wriggling them in front of me with his ever-so-confident grin. "Four dares, Jones, just you and me." And that's how it all started. *** Rankings: #fiction #featured #queer #gay #depression #bl #youngadult #featured #comedy #bisexual #manxman #teen fiction #boyxboy #bxb #LGBT #romance Cover designed by Holly Thurston

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
