"There's a forest in your eyes, Ansel."

Ansel Bennett is 15, living up one last summer with his friends before they all go their separate ways. Hailing from a traditional town in Germany, not everyone in Ansel's group is as enamoured with the historic and frankly antiquated Quedlinburg and they seek escape into a modern world that is big enough to accept them. When Ansel uncovers a secret about his best friend and role model, Henry, it shatters the little serene pocket he had been living in and it's not long until he finds himself fleeing to his own paradise.

Mt. Fierté, a wintry academy locked away on the side of a mountain. Ansel accepts a music scholarship there in the hopes of pursuing his true calling as a DJ. More revelations threaten to shatter everything he knows and long-buried feelings for the same sex resurface when new roommate Oscar enters the fray. But Oscar has eyes for another and before he can properly deal with that, he discovers some news that will change the rest of his life.

Music will take him to the stars. If he can only hold onto them a little longer.

Ansel's story is getting the love it deserves and beneath his elusive shades a forest lies.

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.

Death's Middle Name {boyxboy} by FKNichols17

"When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught to fly." ― Patrick Overton, The leaning tree. Alwynn hadn't anticipated much from meeting an old friend of his parents. He expected a dull night filled with drab conversation and occasional pokes at his choices in life. He was prepared for that, he would just drift off into some serene place in his mind and let it all wash over him. Alwynn hadn't anticipated the 'old friend' to be a living, breathing Adonis capable of reducing the boy to a quivering, incoherent mess just with the flash of that ravishing smile. Vant Bayer, a man far too old for the 17-year-old, was just the man the boy was looking for. Little did Alwynn know, Vant wasn't merely a man...
