You Keep Me Safe (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- I wasn't wanted or needed by anyone, and I knew that far too well by now. There was nothing left for me in the cruel wrath of life until I found everything in the deep brown eyes that belonged to a tall, sensitive boy by the name of Jack Barakat. The night that I thought would be another boring, sad chapter of my story ended up being the beginning of a whole new one. He kept me safe when not even my own house could. ==+== Told in Alex's POV. Trigger warnings: anxiety, abuse (verbal/physical), cussing. Disclaimer: This is partnered with "You Keep Me Sane" (which is not completed), but you do not need to read the other one before this one, or the other way around. It's the exact same story in another perspective. Started: Dec. 18, 2019 Finished: May 26, 2021

I'm A Walking Disaster (jalex) by YeahBoy-DollFace

"Sometimes people just can't be helped, some of us are meant to die, drop it" Jack spat at me, I flinched at his words but my determination was stronger. I can and I will help him, without help he will never get out of here.. *** After Alex Gaskarth was hospitalized for his third suicide attempt this year his parents decided that it would be best for him to spend some time in the Teen Psychiatric ward of Valley Springs Hospital. There he has to share a room with Jack Barakat, who was possibly the worst person to room with due to his attitude, but when Alex discovers more about Jack and why he was there he begins to feel different towards the boy he was told to stay away from. Will Jack accept Alex's help and encouragement? Or will he shut himself away from Alex and refuse anything to do with him? Is what Alex feels towards Jack more than just the need to help him? (Trigger Warnings will be listed on the first chapter)

Actors (Jalex) by trashyalexx

(Jalex) (boyxboy) Alex and Jack live in a small, tight-knit, homophobic town, and their secrets will be kept hidden until they're old enough to move to a place more open about non-hetero sexualities. For now though, Freshman student Alex Gaskarth, and his best friend/secret lover, Jack Barakat who is a Sophomore, keep their relationship on the down low, enjoying every second of it. They're actually content with being in the closet, considering the only person important to them, eachother, are the only ones who know. Will things work out or will someone eventually find out what's going on behind closed doors?

You Broke Me, You Saved Me (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- - trigger warnings in first chapter "Let's get to my house, we need to get you warm," he says. I look at him, and he's soaking wet. He's only wearing a short sleeve shirt with skinny jeans, since he gave me the sweatshirt he was wearing. I felt bad for him, but at the same time, he looked so perfect. The way the rain was dripping off his hair and chin, the way his wet shirt clung to his body, the way he was looking at me- all of it. Every part of me is aching to kiss him, just once, but I know I can't. He's perfect, but he's as straight as can be. === Ex best friends. That's what they were. Everything changed once Alex came out as gay to Jack, pushing them from best friends to strangers with memories. But, when Alex goes to extreme measures to end his pain, will Jack come back into his life? And even if he does... will they be able to be around each other without their world crumbling around them? -=+=- I've sprinkled quite a few All Time Low song references not only in the titles, but in the text hehehe Started: Nov. 13, 2019 Finished: Dec. 1, 2019

Ghost Of You (Jalex) by futureyoungrenegade

-COMPLETED- Jack Barakat ended his own life eight years ago at the young age of nineteen. Or... that was the common belief, anyway. Alex Gaskarth was left to deal with the heartbreak that was destined to haunt him every time winter came around, every time he heard a guitar, and, truthfully, with every breath that entered his lungs. Jack was painted on everything in Alex's mind. His hands felt cold without Jack's fingers intertwined with his; his lips felt useless without Jack's pressed against them; his heart felt empty without Jack's love there to fill it. Until, given some time and some good friends, everything changes. ==+== POV switches between multiple people. Inspired by "Ghost Of You" by 5 Seconds Of Summer. The only trigger warning is the mention that Jack has committed suicide in the past. Otherwise, this will be a safe fanfiction with the exception of cussing. Started: December 9, 2019. Finished: December 16, 2019.

And Tell Me You Love Me (Jalex) by sheepcat-

Alex Gaskarth is a nobody. He's just one small speck that walks the world alone and barely makes it by. He's lived off of his parents ever since he graduated, but now that they've moved back to England and left him in Baltimore, he's barely able to pay to put food on the table. He doesn't have a job (and doesn't care to get one) so the only way that he's able to make money is playing guitar in the local park, but what happens one day when he's approached by a stranger who just so happens to also be a part of the richest family in Baltimore? Jack Barakat is a somebody. Being one of the four children of a wealthy industry owner, he pretty much has enough money to buy whatever he wants and more. He enjoys having money, but there's one problem... Eventually the money runs out and the fact that his father has an obsession with alcohol and his mother is addicted to cocaine isn't helping any. He thought he could have all the fun being rich, but he's at the point where he realizes that the money will eventually get to your head and he wants out of that life. That's when he stumbles across a man playing guitar in the park. That's when he realizes that he may get the chance to live "normally" for once. This is a story I am cowriting on mibba. Jack's point of view: Me, c0l0urfultears Alex's point of view: My coauthor, @EmptySighsAndWine Title credit: Get Down On Your Knees And Tell Me You Love Me - All Time Low Completed but not edited.

Jack was pissed off with his family. They had sent him to boarding school and he WAS NOT happy about it. But when Jack meets Alex, who may be an even bigger ass than his horrible step dad, will his luck change? Trailer for this fic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc0_6dVX5G8
