[BXB] Archie Holland and Brooks Dawson decide to take a third and final shot at love.

☆☆☆

Brooks Dawson is falling apart. His mom's behavior is spiraling out of control, his best friend keeps getting him into trouble, and he's still in love with his ex-boyfriend, Archie.

But when a party goes awry, Brooks finds himself in an unexpected reunion with Archie while hiding from the cops.

Maybe it's the late-night adrenaline (or their lack of better judgement) but they decide to give loving each other one more chance. 

And if the third time really is the charm, maybe this will finally be the time that they get it right. 

Maybe.

Cause for Concern ✓ by swallowedhearts

[BXB / unedited ] Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him. When Max starts at his new school, he meets Cole Benson and his turbulent but loyal friends. As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful. Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward. However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.

Two Introverts ✔ by w_ierd_o

When Samuel finds himself lost and incapable of facing his problems and the whole lot of insecurities he'd built up from childhood, he comes to realize that he can't fix all of it all by himself -- and that it's okay to ask for help. It's okay to be miserable, and it's okay to feel things he's never felt before, such as having a crush on a boy. With June, his best friend, and Charles, the guy who's been crushing on him since the start of the year, Samuel courses through life, slowly coming to find some worth in himself and opening up to the people around him. . . .

Forest by svinxter1

"One of my favorite tropes is someone who believes they're hard to love and someone who loves them like it's breathing." TW: Mentions of suicide and abuse Forest Gray is what everyone would describe as a golden boy; perfect grades, the star of the football team, and a damn good friend. He is rich and good looking, he has it all. Except the one thing he's wanted his whole life; his parents love and acceptance. They are never home, yet they hold a protective barrier around him no matter what. They even own the school he goes to. Forest is to do and be who they say, and he's never been one to disobey or displease anyone, except for when he falls in love with the one boy who's able to break his parents spell. Atlas Hart is different from most people, because most people don't skip school and disappear for days or even weeks at a time. But most people don't have his intense emotions and outbursts of anger, or a broken family, or looked at as the outcast of the school. When Forest meets Atlas, he can't believe he's never noticed someone so perfect for him, and Atlas just can't believe someone like Forest is even talking to him. They fall helplessly in love, creating a bump in the plan Forest's parents laid out for his life before he was even born. Follows the struggles of falling in love with someone you're not supposed to and coming to terms with it while facing obstacles like family and friendship complications in which the characters have to overcome.
