Same-sex Stories

Jack isn't looking at the freckles. He is looking at the lips. They are red. Not pink, not pale. They are a saturated scarlet, sharply defined, moist. Against the white skin, the color screams; it hits the nerves. It looks sinful. It looks wrong. And because of it, everything inside Jack tightens into a taut, hot knot. Jack catches himself thinking a completely wild, inappropriate thought: "I. Want. That. Mouth." Author's Note: In this story, I want to explore those first teenage feelings for someone of the same gender, as I fell in love quite early myself. I believe that art should help people navigate their own situations and explore all aspects of the human experience. However, there are criminally few stories where children or teenagers of the same sex fall in love. I want to add to that shelf myself, pouring a piece of my own soul into this work to ensure it feels authentic. The story is planned as three volumes plus an Epilogue (which, as it happens, is already fully written-I know exactly how I want it all to end): Volume 1: Ages 11-14 Volume 2: Ages 15-18 Volume 3: Ages 19-22 Epilogue: Ages 25-28 Dedication: I won't lie: I was inspired to create this story by two well-known actors, Finn Wolfhard and Jack Grazer. However, to avoid ethical concerns, nothing from their real lives has been included. I have only used their physical likenesses layered over completely independent characters. The same applies to their mutual friends and castmates, whose likenesses appear but whose actual personalities have, of course, been changed.

Ethan Mar has always led a perfect life. Nothing wrong ever happened to him, he always achieved perfect grades, he was best in the class. One day he gets a call from his best friend, Kyle, and everything changes. Zaun Pharmaceuticals is using him for something called the Eden Pill, and no one really knows what it's about. He's always been in a bubble, and he's been taught that the world outside is diseased and dead. When one person from the outside makes it all the way to Ethan's school, things are set into motion that cannot be undone. Ethan must struggle with everything that's being laid at his feet and somehow come out on top. Zaun Pharmaceuticals is on the hunt for him, the Knights of the Rose are trying to protect him, and the truth of what's outside the Bubble is calling his name. Even still, Ethan knows that he has to deal with his growing feelings for Kyle. The White Rose is on the move. --- J. B.

After London's Great Plague claims Augustus's youngest sister, their parents turn to trusted friends. Augustus and his other sister are sent to safely live with Will's rich family in the English countryside. Will is anxious as he hides his feelings from both the object of his affection and his domineering parents. But he lets go when their feelings become mutual.

They're also pushing him into an accounting position in the family business. His gifted sister Lily would be perfect for the job, but her priority is to start looking for a husband--even at age thirteen. Yet there might be hope for Will and his sister! Their free-spirited uncle believes they should follow their own path. But just when things seem to be looking up, everything goes wrong. Through a cruel twist of Fate, the boys are left to fend for themselves while in grave danger. As the repercussions of deviating from their rigid society are staring them down, they are faced with a daunting choice that could destroy their lives: Will they follow the rules, or follow their hearts?
