Sa bawat pagtawid ng barko mula isla patungong lungsod, sina Andrei at Noel ay mga anino lamang sa paningin ng mga pasahero. Sila ang mga tahimik na saksi ng dagat, ang kanilang intimasiya ay nakakubli sa ingay ng karamihan. Ngunit ang distansya, panahon, at ang bigat ng pagsubok ay may kakayahang humugot ng kahit anong malalim na ugat. Sa boses ng mga taong nakasama nila sa biyahe, tuklasin ang ganda at hapdi ng isang pag-ibig na nakita ng lahat, ngunit hindi lubos na naunawaan ng sinuman. Isang kuwento ng alaala, paglayo, at ang mga multong naiwan sa gitna ng dagat.

What happens when we spend too much time observing the world before allowing ourselves to participate in it? Hidden away in the closet during his youth, surrounded by the shadows of familiar and institutional homophobia, Nilo found in cinema the breath of fresh air he needed to survive. Years later, facing an unlabeled VHS tape and the reflection of a turned-off TV, he revisits the images that wounded him, the theories that embraced him, and the films that saved him. A poetic and deeply moving story about memory, time, and healing.

For those who need more gay books :)

"I want this record to help set people free." Almost two decades after the group was created, former band mates Louis and Harry started opening up about things they'd been burying for a long time. During an award ceremony held in the palm desert, the pair are coincidentally reunited after a painfully long time apart. As emotions get tense and sparks fly, the question arises... Will they take a leap of faith, even if it potentially hurts the people they care for, or should they leave the past in the past?

At Least One Summer is a poignant coming-of-age tale set in the waning days of adolescence. Told through the reflective lens of a teenager navigating the slow, uncertain rhythms of summer in a small town, the story explores themes of memory, first love, family tension, and the quiet ache of growing up. As the narrator drifts between bike rides, diner booths, and dusty roads with his enigmatic friend Mia, he finds himself caught in the space between childhood and adulthood-where emotions run deep but words often fall short. Rich with atmosphere and emotional undercurrents, this is a story about holding on, letting go, and the singular power of one summer to leave a lasting mark.

Hear the story of Matt from his own perspective. The story of a typical gay high-school kid, coping with his feelings towards his best friend, Mike; it is more than friendship.

"You're... it's hard to explain. It's like, if you had to provide evidence for soul mates, everyone would pick you two."

ሌላው ገፅታዬ (My Other Side) follows Fikir, a sensitive and introspective young man who also goes by the name Robel. Through his internal monologue and emotionally raw narration, Fikir recounts his journey of navigating love, identity, rejection, and acceptance in a society that does not fully embrace him. He reflects on his school experiences, his budding attraction to men, his complex friendship with Kaleab, and his painful but enlightening encounters with love, sex, and emotional vulnerability. The story weaves moments of self-doubt, fleeting joy, and spiritual questioning, all while grappling with what it means to be seen, known, and loved as a queer man in Ethiopia. Set against the backdrop of school life, intimate relationships, and personal awakening, the narrative paints a vivid picture of what it means to live between silence and self-expression, pain and liberation.

In a Uberaba that seems suspended in time, Hermite lives among silences and memories, in the company of jigsaw puzzles that are never completed and an emptiness that only grows. Upon finding an old handkerchief, he is transported to the courtyards of his university youth - where friends, affections, and a love that could never be named still reside. In this poetic and melancholic tale, Luís Gustavo da Conceição Galego weaves together memory, time, and unspoken desire, crafting a narrative about belonging, aging, and the solitude of those who carry stories that were never allowed to be told.

This is an original story, and I will be updating it whenever inspiration strikes
