Shit. That's how Derrick's life was going after the accident. Hazy memories and scars he didn't need were splintering what was left of what he did remember. Derrick's tattoo shop seemed to get along just fine without him, his magic abilities were short circuiting and for the first time in his life, he wasn't sure who he was anymore. Not to mention some guy named Mike insisted that they were best friends before he lost his memory. As if he'd be friends with someone who breathed positivity. The only thing Derrick wants to focus on right now is recovery and finding himself. But life, also known as Mike, keeps getting in the way. 

Completed January 13, 2019. 

Genre: MM soft magic romance with some angst and a hurt/comfort slant.

Hey, Mister In Denial (BxB) by OralKel
38 parts Complete
What's the best way to torture yourself? Being around the person you're attracted to when you know that you don't even stand a teeny tiny chance with them. Being heartbroken once, Beau St. Clair can't afford to get his heart broken again by the newcomer of the school they go in. So as much as possible, he lets himself be cautious of his actions and such to avoid 'accidentally' falling in love with the guy. With nothing dark but full of color past, Robert is not your usual typical straight jock. He's friendly and outgoing, and sometimes, full of himself. With his exes trying to reach him out, girls trying to get in his pants, and openly gays who like to have a taste of him, he's trying to keep everything in check and in place. Suddenly being a heartthrob of the school is taking its toll on him. When their worlds collide, what will happen when the slightly broken guy meets the completely healed but hopeless guy that is Robert? With the old characters recurring from the Mister series, and the new ones entering, their world will be a huge ball of mess. Probably bigger than a scandal itself.

"I was having the worst day in a long string of worst days. Growing up on the streets in the middle of monster apocalypse put a lot of things in perspective - however, meeting one of these creatures personally was the crown jewel of my bad luck. He stalks, he claims, he does not understand..." A more realistic take on an interest from someone inhuman. It's not rosy, it won't be smooth, there's no instantaneous affection. There's struggle, ambiguity and things going from bad to worse on an express train. All that said, a semblance of a happy ending will be reached. Trigger warnings: abandonment, abuse, assault, gore, death, injuries, murder, poverty, rape, self-harm. The story in full, including the explicit excerpts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5WL39BL (chapters 1 R - 12 BC) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYT3Q7H7 (chapters 13 R - 25 R) please leave reviews!

[Sequel to Frayed Ties] Fanner has spent his entire life being an unwanted failure of a Companion, so even if training to become a healer means a life of isolation and pain it isn't so bad because at least it's something he's good at.

Yore isn't expecting to find an injured Companion of all things on his way back home, and he's immediately suspicious. He wants to treat the young man kindly and tell him everything is going to be okay, but there's too much at stake to risk telling him anything until Yore can be sure he's not there to spy on them. Can they find trust in one another while they're both holding onto so many secrets?

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart.
