Black Winters is the exploration of two boys who don't just fall in love; they unlearn survival in order to feel safe in their own skin. Violet has spent his life as a quiet observer, finding solace behind a mask of anonymity and ink-stained pages. Devin is bright where Violet is shadowed-open, vivid, and unexpectedly kind. Their worlds collide with shared silences, beginning in school and stretching into rivers, mountains, and the aching hush of a tent warmed by firelight.

But love, for them, is not without ghosts. Violet carries the weight of scars that won't fade with time, and Devin knows what it means to be admired but never understood. As they navigate the tremors of first love-bare feet on uneven ground, whispered truths in the dark, and hands pressed against hearts afraid to beat too loud-they must learn how to see one another without turning away. At once unflinching, this is a story about trust that's earned breath by breath, vulnerability that doesn't ask for permission, and the quiet kind of love that keeps you standing even when your legs shake.

🖤✨THE LAST SPELLBOUND✨🖤 by ThePAforlyf
28 parts Ongoing
Lucien's voice dropped to an intimate whisper beside his ear."Now tell me..what is the problem, Ezekiel? We're both men are we not? My state of undress shouldn't matter unless.."he moved to Zeke's other ear,"of course, it stirs something in you that feels..utterly inappropriate" ***** "I'm scared of the guilt you must carry,"Wren whispered."Knowing that inside you is a..a power so fierce. Knowing that at any moment, you could lose control and hurt the people around you. Or worse..yourself."Her thumb brushed gently over his knuckles."I can't possibly imagine what that weight feels like."Her gaze was unwavering, fierce in its compassion."Let me help you Zeke. Let me." 🖤✨ Dear reader, Zeke Aldren's magic has a body count. Sent off to Blackthorn Academy to control his magic that almost wiped out his entire village, he plans to be invisible.All he wants is control, and maybe, to feel human again. He finds that humanity in Wren, a banshee whose quiet love feels like a sanctuary. She is his ideal first love-the exact replica of what he'd always been taught to want. With her, he can almost believe in the simple, safe story he was given. But everything changes when he meets Lucien. Centuries old, utterly shameless, and whose beauty is as haunting and magnetically terrifying as his reputation, the vampire ignites a different kind of fire within Zeke-one that has nothing to do with magic and everything to do with a desire he never knew he could feel, one that could devour them both. Drawn to Lucien's dangerous allure, Zeke is forced to question everything: his power, his purpose, and the very foundation of who he is allowed to love. Wren felt safe, an anchor for his humanity but Lucien was a challenge against everything Zeke thought he knew about love and himself. In my book, love isn't just a choice..it's a weapon. *Love or loyalty? Light or dark? The wrong choice could doom them all..but the right one might destroy Zeke's heart.* Enjoy : )

55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

The Things We Dont Say

5 parts Ongoing Mature

Rylan never asked for his world to change. He's just trying to make it through high school-keeping his head down, dealing with anxiety, and clinging to the safety of routines. But then there's Hayes, sharp-edged, magnetic, impossible to ignore. What starts as wary glances and offhand remarks soon deepens into something neither of them can name. An unspoken tension that leaves Rylan flushed, breathless, and restless long into the night. As Rylan struggles to understand the feelings awakening inside him, his best friend Kayson begins to drift, shadowed by jealousy he won't admit out loud. Torn between loyalty and the pull of something fragile and new, Rylan finds himself caught in a storm of desire, fear, and identity he can't escape. Tender, tense, and devastatingly real, this is a story about the quiet moments that change everything, the lines between friendship and love, and the courage it takes to finally want what terrifies you most. TWs throughout the story: Smoking, Abuse, Addiction, SH, NSFW, Voyerism (ish?), Homophobia, Religious Trauma, Violence.
