How Do I Make You Feel by qazvydaisy

Emmitt Hendrix is a sixteen year old boy living with his mom, dad, and little sister Maggie in Burkon, Oregon. He's perfectly fine with watching movies, and doing things by himself. With not many friends, he finds himself exploring with his bike, keeping a journal alongside to write down his experiences. His life just seems normal, until their neighbour, Ms. Shepard across the street, stops joining them for daily dinners on Tuesday and Saturday nights. Gavin Shepard, Ms. Shepard's son, moves in with her, an abused and traumatized teen that had been trapped at his father's house up in Chicago. After a few doctor's appointments, it becomes clear what has been going on is far worse than anyone could understand. Gavin has developed alexithymia, a rare condition that impacts the emotions we feel everyday. Any emotional response feels fake, and he learns from the environment around him, but never truly feels happy, excited, or even loved. As a budding relationship starts to blossom between the two teen boys, the families find conflict and fear in their own lives. In this coming of age, heart wrenching tale, connect with the characters as they embark on a journey of learning how feelings can impact who you are and the connections you make.

Rock Bottom (BL) by devenwrites

ORION GRAVES has always been on top. A straight-A, high honors student. Top of his class on the path to valedictorian and an Ivy League school. Until suddenly, that all changes. Orion was outed as transgender at his old school, and became victim to relentless harassment. Not to mention that in June of his junior year, his mother lost her battle with cancer. Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning. But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top, nor keep his head down and stay under the radar like old times. Because there's Caleb. CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. And Orion's new best friend. But Caleb's lost someone too, and is struggling just as much; this perfect kid suddenly not so perfect anymore. He's got his own demons, and pressures, and a heavy depression holding him back. And yet, through these shared struggles, their friendship somehow manages to blossom into something so much more sacred. ---------- Cover and story by me, @devenwrites Official Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XONF7xeRhcFwDBWpbxmsB?si=7s4Whhq-RlewQIiya3UwQw

Black And White √ by Crystal7016

She was the girl who was afraid of love. Terrified of it. It isn't permanent, she believed, it leaves you and it leaves you broken. He was the boy who desperately needed it. Love--the only thing that could've rooted him to this world. Ophelia and Alastair. Their story of unspoken whispers and wishful hopes. Broken souls and shattered hearts.

The Girl Without Emotions by Yumi_Youko_21

"What's wrong with her doctor?" her mother asked and the doctor sighed and looked at the four years old girl with a pale and bland but pretty face. "She has alexithymia" he said. Louisa was born without emotions. She couldn't feel anything. Her classmates bullied her because of it but it didn't matter to her because she didn't feel pain or sadness. Josh stood up for her and they became friends... More likely, she became his friend. To Louisa, he was someone who didn't bully her. Surprisingly, she started changing her mind when they got to their last year of high school.

Rise of the New Olympians (TNOS #1) by the-reticent-seer

[AMBYS 2025 GRAND FAVORITE] After receiving an unexpected package from an unexpected sender, seventeen-year-old Amelia Kingston is thrown into the prestigious Olympian High. For someone whose life revolved around constant transferring to schools due to her foster father's odd paranoia, she already knows the rule of thumb: fit in, act natural and most importantly, don't attract unnecessary attention. Unsurprisingly, she breaks all three and ends up staggering to the school's electrical room, only to be shot down by a distracted student with pure lightning, knocking her unconscious. As soon as she wakes up, she is thrown into a world of godly incarnates, backstabbing enemies and lost myths coming back to life.
