TRIGGER WARNING: Marco Mendoza, a 17-year-old with vitiligo, has been bullied out of his high school for his senior year. Being raised a Jehovah's Witness and undergoing conversion therapy, he keeps to himself. His struggles with identity, faith, and self-acceptance manifest themselves through his art...when he's not using alcohol or self-harm to cope. He has strings pulling him from both ends and doesn't know where to go. His views on himself, religion, and the people around him are damaged beyond repair in his eyes. But in the eyes of his classmate, Leon Anthis, he's more than his struggles and his trauma.

If You Love Me by slybatspidow
22 parts Complete Mature
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

Fallen Angel

33 parts Complete Mature

A fallen angel is one who has rebelled against God and has been cast out of the promised land in return. Jeremy never intended to be one of them; he had the life his parents wanted for him; nearly graduated, a devout Catholic, a beautiful girlfriend, and a planned future. All of that changed when he was locked in a room with another man who made him feel desires he never thought possible for him. Now he must decide what he truly wants with his life... whether he wants to throw away everything he's ever known to pursue a man or keep his family and follow the life he's been expected to lead. ••• This story will include: Slurs Religious trauma themes Sexual content between two men Self harm due to trauma If any of this makes you uncomfortable, please refrain from reading as I will often not be putting warnings before chapters.
