Limerence / (ˈlɪmɪrəns) /
noun
A state of mind resulting from romantic attraction, infatuation, obsession, characterized by feelings of euphoria and the desire to have one's feelings reciprocated.

(Takes place in the 1950s)

Arthur Ellington
A shy, intelligent, 19-year old literary student about to embark into college life as he's excited to start a new chapter into his life.

Jack Bailey, the intriguing, compelling misfit student and founder of "Daily Ruthless" the university's infamous newspaper, is there to completely overthrow any plans Arthur has to finish his college education as peaceful as possible.

When Arthur is convinced by Jack to join his writer's team, they find out that there's a lot more to each other than a professional relationship. 
And thus begins an exploration of friendship, blossoming young love, self-hatred, desire, and literary independence. A journey they embark on together.

41 parts Complete Mature
Billy Miller is not gay. He's not even sure he's anything at all because he doesn't like people. But that's alright. His parents, his fish and his clingy neighbor he can't quite get rid of since middle school are enough for him. For now. --- Billy is a Junior in high school and he likes to think he's pretty cool. He enjoys making lists and he adores animals. He doesn't bother people and people don't bother him back, at least that's what he would expect. Until, as he hides in a closet at a party he was forcefully dragged in, he witnesses two boys french-kissing in there. One of them is Tavish McCloud. The other, it doesn't matter. Billy's mind spins and spins. Tavish is a perplexing hot mess that Billy doesn't know much about. His only choice is to make a list. - He knows his name is pronounced as Thomas. - He knows he's tall and handsome. - He knows he's Scottish. - He knows he's a senior with two grade retentions. - He knows he partakes in a crazy amount of lifting competitions. - He knows he has won a crazy amount of lifting competitions as well. - He knows he might enter the Olympics in a few years; everyone has been talking about it at school. - He knows he's hotheaded; everyone talks about it too, but behind closed doors. - He knows he has fucking nice hands. And, what he doesn't know yet but he's about to learn soon, Tavish can be annoying as fuck when he makes pestering you his life mission. --- Somebody's in the closet. Somebody hasn't even had the courage nor the will to step into the closet. That makes for a pretty neat love story.
