All The Mistakes We Make by CoffeeAndSilverInk

"There's only so many times I can put my heart back together" "Why are you so sure I'll break it again?" 🖤🤍🖤 No one said university would be easy, but between assignments and relationships, it gets a little too messy. Nicole doesn't do feelings. She barely does friendships. Escaping a life of pain, she drowns herself in distractions. Party. Drink. Repeat. Always on the brink of losing herself. The only person she trusts is her best friend, Miguel. Miguel isn't the relationship type. He's never had a reason to be, and his reputation proves it. Until a kind-hearted waitress makes him question who he wants to be. Alice, dreaming of love like in the movies, falls face first on every try. She refuses to be fooled again, but no matter how hard she tries, her heart keeps tricking her. When she stumbles across someone whose first instinct isn't to judge her for her dreams, Nicole's warnings are in vain. They thought they could keep their walls until Andrew came crashing in. He didn't seek their acceptance, only an escape from his life. He was never meant to break them apart. But mistakes are easy to make. Especially when you're young. 🖤🤍🖤 Start: 07/01/2022 End: 03/07/2023 Achievements: 🥈Second place Drama winner in IdolVerse Icons Awards 🥉Third place Romance winner in The Savant May Awards 🥉Third place Young Adult winner in The Heart Awards 🏅Featured in The Project Athena

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
