Elliot Stevenson has always dreamed of being female. There's no other way to put it, no way to simplify it. It's a secret he's kept holed up for years, and one that he realises all too late should have been kept that way. Mix that in with a homophobic best friend that he stupidly has feelings for, a father who would kill him if he knew, and a mother who would stand by and watch, and it's a diseased recipe fit for a girl born in the wrong body. With nobody to turn to and nobody to understand him, what's a dysphoric teenager to do?
(Note: this story contains a lot of triggers concerning homophobia and transphobia, physical and mental abuse, etc. Although a lot of offensive and possibly upsetting language is used throughout, please keep in mind that such homo/transphobic views are not my own. I fully support people who are homosexual or transgender, and their rights!)

Mitts
Jacob Mitchell wanted to be the random guy you would pass on the way to chem lab every Thursday. Familiar but completely unknown. That was why Everett University was the perfect place for him to play hockey. The team may have been Division 1, but the majority of its students forgot the team existed. The team is entering its thirteenth straight season without a single win. They're dead last in the New England Conference and just about dead last in Division 1 programs across the country. It is the perfect place for Jake. He gets money for his education and he gets to play hockey without living with the same issues he dealt with back home. Life is good. Until the team wins their first game of the season because of him. He really didn't mean to score one goal against the best team in the conference, let alone rack up a hat trick in his first collegiate game. But suddenly, he is in front of cameras during a post-game press conference and his name is being thrown around college hockey circles online and added to the draft predictions. But it's just hockey talk, right? Totally not a big deal. Until someone manages to leak the biggest secret he'd been keeping. Now the entire world knows he's a trans man and no one is letting him forget it. He's screwed. His plan for a life of privacy and without issue had failed. Now he has to deal with his overnight fame while trying to get his degree in mechanical engineering and try to keep living his life as normally as possible while the entire world knows every single one of his secrets. He really just wanted a normal freshman year, but with the support of his team maybe things can start to feel a little bit more normal than they do.Complete
Mitts (OLD VERSION)
**ORIGINAL VERSION, NO LONGER ACTIVE BUT COMPLETED** *spoilers if you are reading current version* Jake Mitchell wanted nothing more than to be the nameless guy you pass on the way to your afternoon chemistry lecture every Friday. Familiar, but unknown at the same time. Just enough recognition to remember, but knowing so little that you make up stories for him in your head. That's the only reason he took the offer from Everett University to be a left-wing forward on their Division 1 hockey team. A forgotten team really. Dead last in their league and close to dead last in the division. It was just something to help pay the tuition, but nothing much to get any recognition. He gets to keep playing hockey, he can afford to go to an out-of-state school, and he can remain unknown. It's his perfect game plan. Or well it was. Until the worst possible series of events happens. The team wins their first game in 13 years, shocked fans catch Jake talking to a popular pro player after a game, and an unfortunate tweet blows up. All leading to Jake's face being plastered on every Twitter feed, Instagram story, and social media outlet that you can think of. His worst nightmare comes to life in real time. Now with the help of his team, he has to figure out how to deal with his newfound fame while trying to get his bachelor's in chemical engineering and win as many damn hockey games as he possibly can before time runs out and he has to run again. Except, maybe this time he won't have to.Complete

The Greatest Abomination
Andrew Smith is a 17 year old boy intent on having the best life possible. There's just one problem - his orientation. In this LGBT themed story, he narrates his experiences from childhood to adolescence in what life as a gay boy has consisted of, including all the laughs, tears, loves, disappointments, and challenges along the way. It's a tale of self-acceptance and the desire to be just like anyone else. Through many ups and downs, Andrew begins to lose hope in himself and his future. Is all hope lost for Andrew or will things work themselves out in the end? ----- This story is a mixture of my own personal experiences and some fiction to make it "flow" better. It's the first type of writing I've ever really done, and was originally written to self-help, to allow me to cope and deal with things. I decided to publish it because there might be others out there who face the same situations as me, and it helps to know you're not alone. Anyway, feel free to leave any type of feedback/criticism! I know my writing is kind of scattered, drawn-out, and all over the place, and I'm all for improvement. Let me know what guys you think.Complete

Living In Denial
George loved Clay, it wasn't some dumb high school love, it was real love. Yet George had to keep it locked away deep inside his so very fragile heart, reason being that Clay was homophobic. Clay wasn't who you thought he was, he may seem like just another popular boy who went through liking girls, but Clay was in fact gay, only no one knew this and even Clay himself pushed it away at every thought about it. He got a girlfriend to push away the fact he was gay however he doesn't seem like her. The only way surely for George to forget about his love for Clay was to move on, find someone else, someone to fill the endless void in his heart, after making a profile on a dating website he thinks it will be easy to move on, turns out it's a lot harder than it seems.
