Blame The Weeds (gxg) by immoralLaurel

I reached for her face, guided her down to kiss me. We were slow. I absorbed every detail - the cut of her cheeks, the trio of larger freckles near her chin, the fair sheets of lashes like spun gold around her green eyes. I did everything I could to remember it all. At that moment, we had all the time in the world. ** An angry, grieving senior navigates a blended family and finds hope in first love.

Her Last Wish by AnonymouslyUnknown27

Tiana Collin's life is horrible and she knows this. With an abusive father and a druggie for a mother and with absolutely no friends at school, she didn't think her life meant much. So she decided to end it. But before she ended her life, she wants to feel loved. To feel cared for. To feel. So she decides to date one of the most popular boys in school, Tyson Bent, who she knows has a bet with his best friend. A bet to get her to sleep with him. She knows he doesn't really care about her. But sometimes it's nice to pretend. After all, she's only supposed to be with him for a week. After that... well after that she's not even going to be alive. Tyson had it all, the popularity, the looks, the money, everything. And he never missed a chance to flaunt his supposed perfection. Another thing about him is that he never backs down from a dare. So when his best friend dares him to sleep with a girl named Tiana, how can he refuse? But when he reads her diary, he has another mission. A mission completely different from the dare. A mission far more important than a dare. An added bonus being the chance to finally find out who he is and not who everyone else wishes for him to be. A chance to grow into the person he could be.

His eyes of euphoria by thatweird_bitch

* TRIGGER WARNING* there may or may not be parts of this book that people may find upsetting. It talks about mental illness.

Hold Me Close (BxB) {COMPLETED}. ✔️ by ThanatosPatase23

Octaveus was depressed. He knew it, but no one else did. He hid it, just as he hid his scars. He wasn't human either; he hid that too. He hid almost everything about himself from everyone, in order to minimize the ridicule. His mental state, his thoughts, his scars, even his questionable sexuality. But that only fed into his sadness. Drew was insecure. He didn't like standing up for himself in fear of saying something wrong. He didn't even change in the main locker room for PE, he went in the stalls. He was anxious. He wanted to know what was happening and when so that he can prepare for all possible outcomes of that event. And he was gay; his family knew and supported him, but no one else knew. He was too scared of how they would react to tell them. Jessie knew his brother would be teased. It was really a fact. Humanity wasn't too good at accepting of different beings. No matter how human Octaveus made himself look, he couldn't hide his unnaturally pale skin that no matter how hard he tried would not tan or his yellow cat eyes. He just had to try to fit in, same as the rest of their family. Seth was the school bad boy, and secret werewolf. His hobbies included pushing around the Freshman, flirting relentlessly with any and every attractive popular girl in sight, and trying not to think about Octaveus. He didn't want other people to find out about his thoughts on the emo new kid. So, naturally, he made Octaveus's school day a living hell. But he still couldn't figure out why this new kid intrigued him so much, besides that he was obviously not human. {BOOK 1 OF THE 'Scars I Hide' SERIES} *CAUTION: Mature for scenes of self-harm and suicide, PG-13 language, graphic violence, and some sexual topics* IF YOU READ THIS, DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO. IT CONTAINS THE TRIGGER WARNINGS. Sequel: 'Don't Let Go' (Out now) {Forgive me for the horrible stuff in the beginning} [All chapters have been edited.] Cover by @AMTA0206

Stronger Together (bxb) ✔ by Kibika

Even though I'm a mess and I still don't think I'm good enough for him, I want to date him. I haven't managed to scare him off with my panic attacks, mood swings and no touching rules so I don't think that if I tell him about what happened that night he will stop showing interest. ****** Shy, broken Chase wonders if he'll ever be able to love and trust again, if he'll ever get over the trauma of what happened, if he'll ever be happy again. He was a content 24 year old, rooming with his fraternal twin brother Jesse. They literally could not be more different. Jesse is blonde, confident and straightforward; Chase is brunette, shy and innocent. But when tragedy strikes, Chase becomes a shell of the man he once was and Jesse is determined to protect his twin and help him heal. However, will it be at the cost of Jesse's own blossoming love life? Will Chase actually let Jesse help him? And will Chase finally be able to overcome his trauma and accept the love of the man of his dreams? If healing, family and romance are themes that interest you, then this book might be for you! WARNING some themes of depression, suicide and rape though I don't go into graphic details. Thank you to anyone who decides to give this book a shot, I really appreciate it and I hope you'll have as much fun reading as I did writing it. All comments and opinions welcomed.

Sanctuary by Imajidragon

Jake has nothing to live for. It really would be better to end it all now. On the run, scared shitless, and completely alone in the world, it's like he's running into a brick wall. Until, one night, sitting alone in a shitty bar, a group of strange men and a woman walk in. At first, Jake had the feeling that they were trouble. Which they were. But little did he know... That was the chance meeting that would change his life forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a warning, this book does contain subjects that may be triggering for some people, such as mentions of abuse, bullying, and depression. Do not read if these are topics you do not wish to hear about. (No rape or abusive/manipulative relationships, any abuse or bullying is mentioned in past tense)

Broken ✓ (BoyxBoy) by ButteryBreadsticks

"Wait, you're gay?" I asked in confusion, scratching the back of my head. "Well duh. How oblivious are you?" "Well, I guess I'm pretty dumb, but my sexiness makes up for it." "Sure Hunter, whatever helps you sleep at night..." *** [Completed] Hunter just moved to a small city in Florida after his third suicide attempt, being forced to live with his aunt. After his first day at his new school, he has the whole football team hating him with his smart remarks, except for one quarterback who takes an interest in him. With his new therapist, his annoying aunt, and the hell hole he calls school, will Hunter be able to make it through the rest of high school, or will he forever be broken? --- This story contains romance between two boys. If you're not okay with that then I suggest you leave. I'm gonna go ahead and add a trigger warning, for suicidal themes, cutting, etc... Fair warning, this story is really poorly written. It's filled with plot holes, grammar errors, and everything else under the sun that makes a bad story. It pains me to reread it but it's like my own writing history so I don't want to take it down. It was written when I was 12, if that says anything, so keep that in mind before you read it! *** Highest rankings: 07/10/20 | #5 in Humor 02/09/20 | #5 in BxB 06/22/19 | #4 in SuicideAwareness 05/21/20 | #3 in GayLove 04/12/20 | #3 in UnlimitedPride 10/06/19 | #1 in Sarcasm 08/09/19 | #1 in GayFiction 08/17/19 | #1 in GayAf 09/28/19 | #1 in FreeTheLgbt 11/28/19 | #1 in TeenFiction 02/12/20 | #1 in Gayness --- Completed on 5/30/19
