Only to Feel This Fully [Completed]
Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one. "Only to feel this fully, this entire, the way snow touched bare skin & is suddenly, no longer snow" -Ocean Vuong, "Devotion" from Night Sky with Exit Wounds [Re-edited 4/18/20]Complete
Denial
**Completed!** Reed Garcia is in denial. With a history of homophobia, Reed just can't accept the fact that he is absolutely in love with his roommate from freshman year. It's long since freshman year, but Reed's feelings for Kyle haven't faded. In fact, they might have gotten worse since realizing that the boy he shared a room with for a year isn't straight at all, and now in a very committed relationship. Reed tries his hardest to forget he ever had feelings for a guy, but nothing, or no one, helps. Instead, he finds help in the most unexpected place ever. Quincy Alder knows, without a doubt, that he's gay. And when a certain boy in his class catches his eye, he knows that he wants him, even though all the signs point to him being straight and homophobic. This is a spin off story from my book More Than Just Roommates. It's not necessary that you read that one first, only recommended.Complete
