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.

Living In The Past by littleotter23

Trauma. Sadness. Guilt. Adam is barely living since a tragic accident a year ago. He's seeing a therapist, he's having nightmares. But someone is going to change his life. For the better ?

All The Ways We Touch [MxM] by posingholy

"How close do you want me?" [boyxboy] "I want to feel your skin against mine." College art student Jamison Parker struggles with getting close to anyone after trauma crippled his ability to reach out and connect with others both physically and emotionally. More interested in nature than people, he keeps his head down and tries to get through each day without giving up entirely. Classmate Elliot Astor is a trust funder that can't buy his way out of grief and secrets of his own. Spending his nights partying with his friends to forget, he drifts through days with little interest in chasing anything but the next distraction. After a chance meeting, they find themselves drawn increasingly close together, pushing the boundaries of their heartache and histories, and fighting for a future neither dared to envision. current word count: 182,677 -------- • typically one update every two weeks with long chapters (some of which are broken into parts for ease of reading) • I'm a very dialogue-heavy writer :) • this is a genuine slow burn ***Read with caution*** This story includes mature 18+ content and themes such as explicit sexual content, suicide, self-harm, abuse, violence, trauma, drug use, mental illness, death, extreme homophobia, slurs, cursing, etc. There is no SA though

Hey, Mister In Denial (BxB) by OralKel

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.

The Demon and the Elf (Book 1) by ChocolateAndT

Aureate Fates by Blairereadss

What will happen when a set of deadly citizens are thrown together in order to save the fate of the world through an ancient, forgotten prophecy?

Addict (SetoSolace) by hghrules

It started out with one spell. Just one. It was simple, it was easy. It made him feel invincible. But then it grew out of control, until the only magic he could cast - the only magic he wanted to cast - was dark magic, and suddenly morals flew out the window in favor of another dark high. Fortunately (or perhaps rather unfortunately), it is then that an innocent, kind-hearted boy stumbles across the dark sorcerer's path, and, after meeting him and recognizing The Light That Could Be, the boy makes it his life's goal to lead his new "friend" back in the right direction (and also to convince the dark sorcerer to help the Light Mages win the magic war). But dark magic is dangerous. And once it has its hold on someone, it doesn't take kindly to being forced to let go. Seto doesn't want to let go. ☼☼☼ Setosolace. Very gay. Very very gay. No real-world cursing. Rated PG13, I'd say? 'Cause there is violence galore. XD

A slow fall by paiigess

It was gradual. Lucas had always been there, but it was always as his brother's friend, not his own. Not really. When they began hanging out more, Caleb began realising there was a lot he never knew about the boy, and he began wanting to learn everything he could about him. With his brother's both having moved away for school, Caleb had the chance to learn more about Lucas than ever before. He didn't stop to think that that goes both ways, but maybe that's just what he needed. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him. --- Find out how Caleb slowly falls into to despair and love. Is that not an oxymoron? Which emotion is stronger? Seriously, it's a slow burn. Slow is in the title. *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes and mature subjects. Take care.*

insecurities... by _casually_cruel

[BxB].I have scars, it's not a question, it's a statement, scars inside and out. I have never loved anyone, as much as I love him, but I can't commit to anything, I won't commit to anyone. I can't seem to get out of my own head, I want him so fucking badly, but I won't be broken by love. I have commitment issues, I have anger issues, I have so many issues, and he's just one of many insecurities.
