Two boys have the summer of a lifetime when they meet at a two week long camp.

       Joey Reddik comes from a struggling family who has just suffered a terrible loss, and have sent him to summer camp in hopes that it will help him cope better. He thinks it's total bs until he meets Tate, the boy with the piercing blue eyes and Eagle tattoo.

       Tate Scott, on the other hand, isn't very close with his family after an incident that occurred years ago. He struggles to keep his sexuality a secret, knowing his family would never accept him. Joey shows him that he doesn't have to be scared anymore, but a part of him still won't accept himself- especially with all the guilt he's been feeling for the past 6 years.

        The two boys help each other see that they don't have to be afraid of who they are. Once summer camp ends for them, though, how will they return to their everyday lives with the things they're keeping secret?All Rights Reserved

My Summer of Firsts by jms777

Summers in Arizona can be brutal. So can finding love in a small town when you aren't straight. At twenty-years-old, Steven has just about given up on the prospect. Instead, he saves his money, dreaming of the day when he can ditch his small town life for something more exciting. Preferably somewhere with guys who would actually be interested in dating him. But everything changes when a handsome new guy arrives in town and starts flirting with Steven. Being woefully inexperienced, Steven is excited-and equally nervous-by the opportunity to finally check some firsts off his list. Perhaps the one first he wasn't counting on will end up being the best of all.

MATEO || bxb by flawed-pariah

It only took one summer to change everything. Now Camden is just trying his best to carry on with life like normal, but that's a little tricky when his memories keep haunting and some nights are so bad that sleep evades him completely. He can't even imagine how much worse it would have been if Mateo hadn't been there. But that was the summer before and Mateo's been gone for the whole year since. What happens when Mateo comes home, and how will Cam ever face him again? ___ 'He looked mostly the same as last summer, older maybe, definitely more tanned. He'd grown his hair out a little longer, so it hung lower in his eyes now. I'd seen him post a picture with his hair like that a few months ago and decided to grow mine out too. I wonder when he looked at me, did he see me as I am now, or did he see me as I was then, that night?' ___ TW: sexual assault
