Avalon Renegade liked to consider herself the head of her small family. She liked to think that she was the glue that kept them together, kept them pushing forward.
Sander Renegade tended to think of himself as more influential than he actually was. He tended to think that whenever he told the Renegades to do something, they did it.
Jake Renegade used to think that he could keep up with the rest of the Renegades. He used to think that no matter where they went, he would be able to continue along with them.
Red Renegade thought of the world as hers. She thought that she could do anything she wished, with no consequences.
Sal Renegade knew he was better than them. He could hear better than them, see better, run faster.
It's a miracle they had lasted this long. As different and conflicting as they were, they stuck together. They ran together, slept together, and lived in freedom. They were a mechanical family, with each member as an essential gear, their relationships with each other forming the intricate gears that helped the machine run.
However, what would happen if one of those essential gears were to be removed?

ORIGINAL:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer(BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."Complete

What happens when you try to tell your story, but no one is willing to listen to you? You run. Thousands of years before, the cataclysm destroyed the world. In a barrage of miniature apocalypses manufactured by the most powerful government in the world, the moon was torn apart, ice sheets expanded from the north, entire communities were systematically poisoned, the rainforests were burned. Thousands of years before that, magical stones with the ability to protect life were created and scattered throughout civilization. Now, Pana and their friend, the timid yet trustworthy dragon Waveskimmer, find one of those stones. Pana has only ever known the frozen northern village they were born in, but when they are forced to flee their home after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they discover that the world is bigger than they could have imagined, and that there are other pockets of survivors out there who are all facing their own hardships. Together with Waveskimmer, they begin traveling the world, meet new people, and try their best to undo the mistakes of the past.

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING]
The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.Complete
