"So, we did the tests, and we can conclude that you indeed have leukaemia..." the doctor said. Alexander could feel his heart sink and it was like he had a knot in his stomach. Alexander got watery eyes and he felt the hand of Pierre on his back. He didn't say anything though so the doctor continued...
Leukaemia, so many things just seem to crumble apart, your dreams, your hopes, all that you've worked for, and possibly; the one you truly love

Picture Perfect
They say you can't go home again. But what if home is the man you can't forget? Luca Romano left his small town and its narrow-minded whispers behind, trading them for a life of vibrant freedom as an openly gay photographer. But when a family emergency forces him back, he's thrust into a world of memories he'd rather forget. The last person he wants to see is Daniel his former best friend, his first love, and a secret chapter of his past he's desperately tried to burn. Daniel has painstakingly built the perfect, "normal" life: a respectable job, a house with a white picket fence, and a kind, loving fiancée. He's locked away his desires, his truth, and the boy he once was, convincing himself it was all just a phase. He's safe. He's straight. Or so he thought until one glimpse of Luca shatters the illusion completely.

Mirror Man
MXM Danny Taylor, 28, was failing in life. Unloved and married off in a business arrangement, used and discarded by his family, now divorced, a string of failed relationships, a dirty little flat he could barely afford, and a miserable dead end job. His one true friend Hina the only saving grace in his tired world. One damp chilly Friday night after yet another soul destroying day, a sudden scream, a screech of tyres and a loud bang outside shocks Danny out of his slumber. He rushes from his bed, injuring himself on the way on a broken bed spring. He meets Mark, choking to death on the road outside his flat after a drunk driver rammed his motorbike off the road, obliterating the machine and leaving the man half dead. Not caring for his own pain, with one simple action, Danny saves the life of the man behind the visor. A man with haunting grey eyes, eyes he just can't forget. The selfless action changes his life when he encounters the 'mirror man', the shadow of the rider he saved, in his bathroom mirror, while the man is in a coma. Meeting Marks parents starts a chain of events that Danny could never have imagined when they reveal that he isn't who he thought he was. He catches feelings for the mirror man, and for the real Mark Chandler when he wakes up. But Danny's ex returns, causing a scene and a smashed up door, forcing Danny to stay with Marks family. Danny is happy when Mark comes home until an incident sees him going back to his flat where he collapses, exhausted after years of neglecting himself. Waking up in hospital he learns that Mark has had half his leg amputated after collapsing at home. What will happen to him and Mark?. What other secrets are still to be told?. 🏍️🏍️ If you're reading this anywhere other than Inkitt or Wattpad it has been copied without my permission, please report it.

A Mimic's Guide to Romance
Forty-two failed dates. One unexpected tear. And the quiet system crash of a queer developer learning how to feel. /// Jamie doesn't feel much. He's lived with flat affect as long as he can remember, compensating with logic, routines, and romantic comedies filed under reference. As a queer man longing for connection but unable to express it, he's catalogued every failed date--clinically, precisely, and alone. Then comes Date Forty-One. And a single, unexpected tear. What follows isn't a breakthrough. It's a slow, quiet system failure--one that makes him question everything he thought he understood about himself. And in the background--steady, patient--is Alex. A coworker with grief in his eyes and strawberry wafers in his coat pocket. This isn't a love story. But it is a story about love. About presence, repair, and learning that the first genuine feeling doesn't always need to be dramatic. Sometimes it's just true.Complete

ORIGINAL:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer(BxB)
"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."Complete
