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.

Emmet and Clay did not meet on the best of terms, but that doesn't stop them from becoming fast friends. As their bond grows stronger, they will do whatever it takes to maintain this new friendship. Even though that may not be all that either of them wants. After years of living in a conservative southern town, Emmett has developed a hard shell that is not easily pierced. It's gotten even more difficult since breaking up with his first serious boyfriend left him feeling devastated and betrayed. Then a new friend comes along to peel back all the layers of protection, making Emmett feel happy again, and perhaps making him feel something more. The loss of his father at a young age left Clay with severe anxiety. His girlfriend says he's emotionally distant - because he is. Clay never gave much thought to his sexuality. He started dating because all his friends were, and although his relationships never seem to work out, he continues to try, because that's what's expected. The steady track he's been traveling is suddenly upended when he becomes enamored with a boy he just met. Now Clay has to figure out what he wants and how far he's willing to go to get it.
A slow fall by paiigess
22 parts Ongoing
It was gradual. Lucas had always been there, but it was always as his brother's friend, not his own. Not really.

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.*

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
