Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

H2O Just Add Water: Charlotte's Return
It could definitely be said that Cleo, Rikki, Emma and Bella have overcome the storm. Their friendship is now stronger and they've done so many things together. But just as summertime is in full swing, an unexpected cloud pops up. Charlotte returns to the coast. After having left out of shame from her defeat, Cleo thought she would be free from Charlotte for good. Charlotte promises that she has turned over a new leaf and is simply visiting the town before going off to college in the fall. But of course, Charlotte actually wants revenge, at any cost. Having been researching Mako Island in the year she's been gone, she is determined to regain her mermaid powers. When she discovers the moon pool is damaged (see season 3 finale), Charlotte makes an alliance with an old foe of the mermaids to regain her tail and defeat them.

My Best Friend Is A Mermaid
Akira is an orphan who lives with her best friend, Lucas. Her parents died when she was 8 years old so Lucas's parents took her and cared for her. She was half human and half mermaid. She had the ability to exist in both forms but it comes with a cost. "Lucas, stop it! Don't let that water touch me!" I yelled, running maniacally away from my best friend who was holding a hose, trying to completely drench me in water. I couldn't let water touch me, not when I'm not wearing my protector ring. "Why are you so scared of the water?" Lucas chuckled. Oh Lucas, I wish I could tell you but I can't trust anyone with this secret, not even my best friend. --- Hope you enjoy the story. I don't know everything about mermaids but I hope this story's gonna make some sense and I hope it isn't gonna be cliché cause it's just a pigment of my imagination.

Broken ✓ (BoyxBoy)
"Wait, you're gay?" I asked in confusion, scratching the back of my head. "Well duh. How oblivious are you?" "Well, I guess I'm pretty dumb, but my sexiness makes up for it." "Sure Hunter, whatever helps you sleep at night..." *** [Completed] Hunter just moved to a small city in Florida after his third suicide attempt, being forced to live with his aunt. After his first day at his new school, he has the whole football team hating him with his smart remarks, except for one quarterback who takes an interest in him. With his new therapist, his annoying aunt, and the hell hole he calls school, will Hunter be able to make it through the rest of high school, or will he forever be broken? --- This story contains romance between two boys. If you're not okay with that then I suggest you leave. I'm gonna go ahead and add a trigger warning, for suicidal themes, cutting, etc... Fair warning, this story is really poorly written. It's filled with plot holes, grammar errors, and everything else under the sun that makes a bad story. It pains me to reread it but it's like my own writing history so I don't want to take it down. It was written when I was 12, if that says anything, so keep that in mind before you read it! *** Highest rankings: 07/10/20 | #5 in Humor 02/09/20 | #5 in BxB 06/22/19 | #4 in SuicideAwareness 05/21/20 | #3 in GayLove 04/12/20 | #3 in UnlimitedPride 10/06/19 | #1 in Sarcasm 08/09/19 | #1 in GayFiction 08/17/19 | #1 in GayAf 09/28/19 | #1 in FreeTheLgbt 11/28/19 | #1 in TeenFiction 02/12/20 | #1 in Gayness --- Completed on 5/30/19Complete

But there's still something keeping him awake at night. Although he is extremely privileged, something is missing. Or rather, someone.

But she doesn't need a man, and Will's attempts at wooing her aren't getting him anywhere. Enter McKenzie. Vanessa's childhood friend is not someone Will would befriend.
