After discovering that his happily married life is nothing but a perfect illusion, Saviour leaves everything and everyone behind except his best buddy, Sgt. Pepper, and his rusty piano. It was when he remembered that he once dreamed of becoming a songwriter until it died when he decided to settle down with a job that wouldn't take much of his time as he prepared and hoped to start a family of his own. With his newly found freedom, Saviour believes it is the perfect time to dream again.
Living his life as a musician in a New York City subway station, it has been second nature to Damon to perform in front of many passers-by, hoping to hear coins drop in his guitar case, and maybe a round of applause as a bonus to boost his spirit. Unable to see the world, he knows it is going to be a lot harder for him to reach his dream of someday performing on a stage to a sea of people that he could call his fans. After all, aside from Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles, he couldn't think of any more blind artists who made it big in the industry.
When they find something they like in common, will the undeniable chemistry between these two men catch the hearts of busy New Yorkers, and possibly a record deal?

ALONE [manxman] β
BOOK TWO On the outside, Julian Douglas has everything: college athlete, good grades, friends who think he's unstoppable. But inside, he's unraveling. And the one person who ever made him feel whole-the boy he loved and lost-is the one person he can't let go of. Paul Jones is brilliant, beautiful, and broken. His art reaches millions, but behind the screens and gallery walls, he's drowning in silence, addiction, and a love that still lingers. When Julian and Paul collide again, old wounds resurface, old habits threaten to consume them, and both must decide if love is enough to heal what life has shattered. Heartbreaking, intimate, and unflinching, Alone explores the raw edges of mental illness, addiction, and the desperate, dangerous hope of holding onto someone who feels like home. : : : "I'm your boyfriend, Jules." He looked so sad then, so completely vulnerable and it was my fault. It was all my fault and I didn't notice until it was too late. "Do you forget that?" Maybe I did. Maybe I thought ignoring him would stop these feelings from surfacing, that missing him wouldn't take over if I never thought of him. And Paul had sighed, his hands coming up to wipe the few tears that hadn't fallen. His cheeks were flushed, he'd done enough crying for the day, and his hair was all over the place from his frustrated tugging. We'd both looked rough but seeing him just as a mess as I was... it made my heart hurt. So did his next words and I knew he'd already given up. "Do you wanna be with me or do you just not wanna be alone?"Complete
Look After You
Chicago had never greeted the Valentines with open arms. Instead it greeted them with a slap in the face and reality served on a silver platter. Living with such a large family and such a small income was harder than anyone could have imagined especially when your best form of income comes from your mom being a hooker. Alexander is a middle child in the large family. At the prime age of fourteen he's starting to become confused about many things in his life such as where he fits in, what he wants to do when he's older and his sexuality. Nolan is in the same boat. Though he is not part of the Valentine family he got the privilege of living down the street from them. He had a slightly smaller family with only a slightly better income. But the only things Nolan feels he needs is astronomy, books and his best friend Alexander who is always getting them into trouble.

STORY ARE FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ππ¬ππ¦ ππ₯π π¦π§πππ π’π‘ π¨π¦... It's easy to love someone when things are perfect and everything's wonderful. But, to love someone when things are difficult, when they're not being perfect, when they're messing up, flaws are seen, mistakes are made...that's what really allow you to see how much love there is really. Anyone can love someone who doing and saying all the right things, being everything you want and need, when they're got it all together and it all figured it out. But, to love someone at their lowest, to love someone despite how broken they feel, when they're lost, when you're willing to stand by them no matter how challenging or difficult things may be, that kind of love is a lot more beautiful. That kind of love is a lot more meaningful. Thank you for loving me both times when things are good and bad, up and down. Thank you for taking in every aspect and part of me, accepting my flaws, forgiving my mistakes and helping me become the best version of me. 06/26/2021-02/19/2022 Rankings: #181 in black 9/16/2021 #2 in blackcharacters 9/16/2021 #570 in urban 9/16/2021 #20 in urbannovel 9/16/2021 #3 in blackstory 9/16/2021Complete

"The streets or nothin' else." That's the only truth Travis has ever known. Raised in the ruthless grip of BLACK FIST, he was taught that loyalty is everything, weakness is a death sentence, and a bullet is sometimes the only way out. He's built for this life until a small voice buried deep inside starts whispering: What if there's more? More than guns, drugs, and a future already set in stone? Across Norwood Grove, Devon is chasing a different dream. An artist with talent too big for the streets, he's desperate to escape, to carve out a new life where his name isn't tied to struggle. But dreams don't come free. To make it out, he'll have to burn bridges, break promises, and become someone he swore he'd never be. Because in this world, survival isn't just about making it-it's about making it first. But when two worlds collide-when a reckless soldier meets a man willing to play the game-everything changes. Love turns to betrayal. Desire sparks war. And in the end, the streets always collect their debt in blood. "What's gonna happen if we run away?" He asked eyes bloodshot, slaty tears breaking their dams flowing effortlessly off his face, his hands were smeared in blood as they locked eyes. But you can't run away from a life of code and brotherhood. You're in it till death.

"You're just too much fun to mess with," he jokes, his smile transforming into a glowing smirk. My cheeks heat, but this time with anger. My tolerance has worn completely thin. "Would you let me go?" I ask spitefully. I feel like a broken record. He pushes off of the desk and takes a step back. Before I even realize what I'm doing, I slap him square across the cheek. Shock is plastered on his face, and I'm sure it is on mine too. I stand there in awe of what I just did. It was so sudden I'm not even sure I decided to do it but rather my indignation controlling me. Steadily, Damon's face morphs from shocked to entertained. I immediately regret my action, but I'm not completely stupid; I race for the door like there's no tomorrow. "You'll regret that!" I hear Damon yell as I'm running away. ~Sugar, spice, and everything nice~ A story about drama, sarcasm, love, and twists, with a little bad boy guilty pleasure mixed in between.Complete

I try not to stare most of the time, but for some reason, tonight, I just couldn't look away. I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right. Normally, when I see a cute girl, I'm like eh, but because she's just so pretty, and also because I don't have much time left, I might as well. "I mean, come on dude, You might as well." What a perfect sign. I just said it, and now he just said it. Definitely means I gotta do it. I wanted to text him back to let him know I was going to. Even though he probably thinks ill chicken out at the last second. "Your right. I might as well."
