Religioustrauma Stories

A coming of age story about religious trauma, family we are born into versus the family we choose, societal standards and social pressures. And of course, there's a love story.

Moments in Time is a story about queer love in the face of silence-within the walls of a religious boarding school in the 70s. Be prepared for changes as I write and rewrite, and a happy pride month to my readers ♡

They called it devotion before they called it sin. At Saint Aurelius Academy, faith is treated as salvation, and obedience is mistaken for purity. Teetee has spent his entire life trying to become the perfect believer: the perfect son, the perfect student, the perfect boy untouched by forbidden desire. Every prayer upon his lips is a plea for God to rid him of the feelings he cannot kill. Then Por arrives like a storm against stained glass. Cold-eyed, sharp-tongued, and openly dismissive of religion, Por believes God abandoned people like them long ago. To him, faith is not comfort but cruelty dressed in holy words. Yet beneath his anger lies a loneliness so profound it threatens to consume him whole. They were never meant to understand each other. But somewhere between whispered prayers, trembling hands, candlelight, and secrets buried beneath chapel walls, hatred begins to resemble longing. And love-terrifying, devastating love-forces them to confront the parts of themselves they were taught to destroy. One boy believes God is everything. The other believes He is nothing. And between heaven and ruin, they find each other.

A terrible summer takes a turn for the worst as Tord moves back in with the trio. But something is feels amiss with Thomas. These new and curious feelings consume the two as the judgment of the world watches from beyond. Can the pair find it in themselves to love each other or will they be gripped with their own self-hatred until then bitter end?

A thousand years after the bombs fell, conflict rises on both sides of the ancient Zibi as the Chevaliers, an order of knights, and the Sisterhood, an abbey of nuns, fight for survival and domination in the harsh wasteland.

Getting outed to her parents and being sent off to a Christian boarding school was not exactly what Charlie had planned for her senior year, and falling for one of the straightest girls at the school was definitely not what Charlie walked in there expecting. Charlotte Brooke has always known that she didn't like guys, but being gay in a little Christian town in a family that went to church every Sunday, was an absolute disgrace--well according to her parents. Grace Rivers has everything figured out for herself. Perfect grades, head of the culture club and a plan to go to Harvard--all the things her family expects of her. But she has a secret. One that would get her kicked out of the school and be a stain on her family's reputation forever. She had done a great job at keeping her secret locked away until the new girl at school makes all those feelings Grace thought she locked away, resurface. When the two of them run into each other behind the dorm building at midnight, they form an unexpected bond. But as this relationship progresses, will they be able to keep it a secret? Or will all the secrets they share every night eventually come to light and send everything crumbling. *** [Ongoing]

basically the story takes place in the small town in Oregon where you are the pastor's daughter and Nicholas is the town bad boy in which you befriend him under the pretense of just molding him to be a better person.

A fragmented novel about the body, desire, pentecostalism, shame, tenderness, sexuality, exhaustion, faith, and collapse. Part confession, part case file, part residual memory, the novel follows scenes that refuse to disappear: hospitals, prayers, erotic encounters, family violence, humanitarian journeys, masculinity, dissociation, and the strange persistence of the body after emotional rupture. This is not a story searching for purity or redemption. It is an open archive.

Atsushi accidentally gets adopted by Fukuzawa and joins the ADA Magazine as a new model? Or Part chatfic, part prose, all insanity modelling au, no abilities, idk wtf I'm doing.

Its basically a Jimon fic before the island lol, a bit silly, English is not my first language so idk man, have fun I guess, I just wanna let go of my hyper fix this way before turning back to my deep Ukrainian literature. Not 100% canon accurate (it's a fic help), but it is 100% gay (there are 0 women in the story originally so lol, Lord for the flies is so gay lmao). Anyway, enjoyyyy.

something of a memoir or personal narrative. initially this was going to be mostly for me to reflect and get over some of my trauma, but i also feel someone else could benefit from this. to make someone else feel less alone walking the line of knowing something isn't right and that you're being mistreated but the shame and embarrassment of wondering if you're simply being a baby. the "older angry sister" title and the pain that comes with it. religious trauma intertwined. you're not alone. this is just a piece of a basic rough draft, i will be coming back and adding more specific details and continuing. thank you.

Twin sisters Kassia and Guinevere have been raised their entire lives within the comfortable confines of the Citadel, the home of the continent's religious sect. The latest of a vital bloodline, one of the two will someday be chosen to rise above their station and become a human vessel for their beloved, omnipotent Messiah. However, there is much that has been withheld from them: ancient histories, unholy evils, and the truth of the lands which lay beyond the sea.

Just a normal sleepover on a Friday night, five messy teenagers and a stupid ritual nobody thought would actually work. Until it did. Now they're stuck with a strange girl calling herself Elaria Veil - someone clearly not human and the walking definition of mentally unstable. Between unfinished homework, sleepless nights and trying to survive school without losing their minds, the group slowly realizes that whatever they brought into their world came with something far worse following behind. And maybe Elaria is the most sane out all of it. (THIS BOOK IS PART OF A TRILOGY, BEING THIS THE BOOK 1) (Cover in progress)

There is no one in the world that Esme Panchek has ever liked more than Juliette Smith - it's ridiculous considering the fact that they have never even spoken... Sometimes Esme wasn't sure that Juliette actually knew that she existed, but that didn't stop her from falling for her all the same, there was just something about her that told her that that was the one for her, even if it never happened. So, when Juliette kisses her one night at a party, Esme's entire world comes unglued - is this the start of something wonderful? Or the beginnings of the shattering of her own heart. NOTE: THIS IS A BORROWED TIME ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. THE CANON EVENTS THAT OCCUR IN BORROWED TIME DO NOT OCCUR HERE.

A new documentary came out on Amazon Prime Video a few days ago called "Shiny Happy People". It talks about the IBLP (institute in basic life principles), which is a very strict denomination that's fairly related to the IFB (independent fundamental baptist) crowd in which I've grown up in. These denominations may look great and put together on the outside, but so much more lies beyond the surface. I wanted to share my personal experience with it after seeing so many stories of other people coming out to share about their own. Maybe mine will help give insight on what it was like or it might offer comfort to those who have been in the same boat.
