    Everyone at school knows Andrew Jennings. Missing an arm. Openly gay. But when he meets star athlete Ryan Sullivan in therapy, can friendship lead to more? ***** When Andrew 'Jacky' Jennings ends up in therapy after an English assignment gone wrong, he doesn't expect to find his high school's star athlete, Ryan Sullivan, sitting in the same waiting room. After all, he and Ryan couldn't be more different: football captain, future valedictorian, and all-around nice guy, Ryan is the school's golden boy, while Andrew is known for his permanent snarl, being openly gay, and losing his left arm (along with his father and sister) in a car accident. But when Andrew learns they actually have a lot in common, he's surprised to see past the enigma that is Ryan Sullivan and his seemingly perfect life. And as the two boys begin to connect over their shared grief, depression, and teenage angst, they might just discover a little pocket of happiness for themselves -- if they're willing to fight for it.

    Gabriella showed up for him when it mattered most, believing she knew exactly where her life was going, until everything unraveled in a single moment she couldn't unsee. Walking away wasn't something she had planned, but it became the only choice she could live with. With nowhere else to turn, she leaves behind everything familiar and starts over in a quiet town that doesn't quite feel like home, trying to hold on to the part of herself that still feels like her. She tells herself it was the right decision, that some things can't be undone and are better left behind. But distance doesn't always bring clarity, and no matter how far she goes, the past has a way of following. Because some choices don't stay in the past, and some stories don't end just because you walk away. Updates weekly ✦

    Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

    For two years, everything seemed perfect. A shared home. The same uniform. The same future. Tim and Lucy. What connected them was more than love-it was trust and the belief that shared goals are strong enough to withstand any challenge. Until one decision changes everything. When Lucy becomes unintentionally pregnant, she makes a choice that feels unavoidable to her. Her career is just beginning, her future within reach-and she is not ready to give it up. For Tim, however, the unborn life is already real. Hope. A future. Something he cannot let go of. What follows is an argument. A battle between love and conviction. Between the right to decide over one's own body and the desire for a shared future. Even though they still love each other, it is no longer enough. The separation comes without many words, but with final consequences. New cities. New relationships. New roles. And yet something remains unresolved. Guilt. Loss. Unfinished feelings. Months later, it is the next step in their careers that forces them back together-at Mid-Wilshire. Professional. Controlled. Distant. But when a joint undercover assignment forces them into close proximity, those boundaries begin to falter. Old wounds reopen. Feelings that never disappeared demand their place once more. They know they are going too far. They know they are breaking promises they made to others. They know that sometimes love is not enough to forgive. And yet they find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into something they once believed they had lost. Because what if you can't escape love? What if some decisions destroy everything-except what you feel for each other?

Season 5 under revision. Things have gotten worse after Monarch stole the miraculous from us; supervillains keep appearing with powers but no miraculous on them. Madelyn and Lila seem to have joined forces, Adrien's dad is becoming more controlling, and we have no leads to Monarch. Despite all this, my silver lining is Luka, who's been with me every step of the way. With his support, I just know we can bring an end to Monarch by the time we graduate. - Emotional manipulation - Bullying and verbal abuse - Child abuse - Grief and loss - Violence - Physical trauma - Psychological trauma - PTSD - Mind control/ Loss of agency - Topics regarding racism - Depression/ Sadness - Anxiety/ Anxiety attacks - Eventually, curse words - Stalking - Drug usage - Suicide attempt

    My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did. At sixteen, I watched the same ritual with numb detachment. At seventeen, I stopped caring. At eighteen, I watched it with amusement. Because I knew... It would be the last of my last rites I would ever witness. I laughed. Because I knew the next funeral would be real.
