In French there is this phrase, 'Ma Lumière', which translates to 'My Light'.
Sometimes humans can be like fireflies...they shine for you and then they are gone. They always leave too soon.
But the warmth, that is, the memories they leave behind, always stays. A hope that you will probably meet them again someday and until then all you can do is live. Live your best because that's what they would want too.
They leave a part of their light within you and you can feel it if you look hard enough.

The Warmth You Left Behind
Greg never expected to fall again. After Enzo left, he thought his heart had already closed its doors - until Gabriel came. The twist of fate? Gabriel wasn't a stranger. He was Greg's childhood best friend - the same boy who once hurt him without meaning to, and the same one who would one day teach him how to love again. With his laughter, patience, and quiet warmth, Gab slowly brought color back into Greg's gray world. What started as comfort turned into something deeper - a love that felt like sunrise after a long storm. But fate has its own way of testing hearts, and soon Greg would learn that some goodbyes come not from choice, but from time itself. Still, even after everything, the warmth of the sun remains - a reminder that love, once real, never truly fades.
Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete
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

The Sinborn
Being different, people throw that around like it means something. Like it's normal. Like it's safe. But I'm not just different. I'm alone. No name for what I am. No others like me. Not vampire. Not demon. Not human. Something else. Something wrong. In a world carved by blood and fire, where monsters walk in daylight and humans pretend, they're safe behind silver and salt, I exist between all of it. An anomaly. A threat. A mistake. They watch me. Fear me. But no one understands me. Not yet. And maybe when they do, it'll be too late.
