"James?" I asked. He dropped his scythe.

"No. Nononono. This is a mistake. You're a mistake."

"James what the hell? You were dead! What's going on!?"

"I am dead, idiot. You're dead too--"

"Oh my god, my mom's going to kill me,"

"Looks like someone already beat her to it," he said. I gaped. "I'm your-- dammit-- your guide."

James Abbatiello, a 17 year old committed suicide. It might've been Ricky's fault. At least, a little bit. Then something else unfortunate happened. Ricky also died, getting into a fight with the people who practically killed James. Now, James has to lead Ricky through the In Between to get to The dead world, AKA Tamir, but there are many obstacles they need to face, including birds trying to eat them, wolves and bees, and fighting their own shadows on top of a train.

Whispers of our Hearts (gxg) by thegayykid
29 parts Ongoing
Hazel and Ivy are inseparable-best friends in a small town where any deviation from the norm is critically viewed. Their friendship has seen them through the ups and downs of adolescence, but when deep connection unexpectedly turns into tender feelings, their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Hazel is unsure of her feelings-friendship or love? Ivy knows what she wants, but fear of the unknown and the reactions of her conservative surroundings hold her back. Amidst family tensions and societal expectations, the two struggle to understand what they truly feel for each other. But how does one deal with feelings that could destroy everything that has mattered to them so far? How can they find their way when the love that draws them together is simultaneously seen as the greatest crime? ----- Excerpt: "Are you sure we're ready for this, I mean, that between us, you and me?" she asked softly as my gaze swept over the shimmering surface of the river. "What if someone finds out?" I gently placed my hand on her arm. "Sometimes you have to take a risk to find out what really matters," I said, my voice a whisper in the evening breeze. "I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore these feelings any longer. I want you to know how I feel-not just as a friend, but as something more." I felt my heart race. I could barely grasp the pain and joy in Hazel's eyes. The moment was so intense it felt as if it could stop time. ----- Trigger Warnings: Forbidden Love Family Conflicts Emotional Strain Loss of a Loved One Suicide Societal Pressure and Stigmatization Homophobia ----- English isn't my first language, therefore, there may be some spelling and grammatical mistakes

Smut will contain 🔥🌶️ in the title if you don't want to read it. "If I show anything, you cannot call the cops. He will kill me." I say, my voice trembling. "Deal," Mr. Greyson says immediately. I sigh, slipping off my coat. My short-sleeve blouse underneath. My grab marks and cigarette burns danced across my skin. I softly place the coat in Dexters stretched-out hand. Various stages of bruising on my arms are now visible. I couldn't help but notice the tension increase in the air. Nobody says anything. Mr. Greyson runs his hands through his hair and over his face. A heavy sigh leaves his lips. "Sit on my desk." He says this as he continues to sit in his chair. Shame and embarrassment fuel my body as I sit down on his deck in front of him. He looks at my arm, wrapped tightly. Before unwrapping delicately as if foreign to his nature. "Jesus Christ," he mumbles under his breath as more and more of my arm is unwrapped. He places the wrap on the desk, looking at it intently. He looks at Dexter. "Go get Jermery." He says to Dexter "Yes, boss," he says.

Little Red and the Big, Bad, Wolf. by AshesOfRoses687

BOOK 1 OF THE BIG BAD WOLF SERIES: "R-Roman, stop," He lingers on each kiss, teasing me with his tongue. Sparks erupt. "You make me so damn angry," He says huskily, fanning his warm breath on my neck, making another shiver course through me. He places a kiss right below my ear, and I visibly shudder. He notices. He starts attacking the spot with his lips, and I bite my lip hard trying hard to not let the moan escape me. I involuntarily close my eyes. Everywhere he touches me sparks erupt. He starts sucking on the spot. "R-Roman, pl-please, st-top," I push lightly on his chest, but he doesn't even flinch. I didn't want this to happen, not when he was just being a total asshole 2 seconds ago. "Roman," I practically moan out his name. He starts gently biting me, and I melt into him. I put my hands on his shoulders and push him again, slightly harder this time, but as he keeps attacking my neck, I feel as though all the energy has been drained from me. "You're mine," he says huskily in between kisses. I self consciously nod. "Only mine-" He starts kissing and sucking my jaw, and I refrain from letting out a moan. "And you'll never talk to Dimitri or any of the warriors again." I open my eyes wide at his comment, and I push him back with all my strength. *** They said the Big Wolf was bad... They said no one could tame him... That his heart was made of ice... That he couldn't love anyone and no one could love him. His pack was ruthless... Killed without a second thought. They said Little Red was Human.... They said she was shy and quiet.... They said her innocence was like no other... That she was pack less. Helped without a thought... At least... That's what they say... Let me tell you the real story... *** WARNING: THIS BOOK HAS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL THEMES, ABUSE, VIOLENCE, KIDNAPPING, DEATH AND HARASSMENT. IF THESE ARE TRIGGERS THAN CONTINUE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Wren died at 14 years old, the prime of his youth. Struggling to be understood and understand others, he's reincarnated into a world of superpowers, superheroes, and super villains. Gifted a power he changes the dynamic of how he interacts with others, he has only one goal in mind...to be the most powerful. (This is a rewrite of one of my older unfinished stories on Quotev, I've lacked motivation to write new stories so I decide to rewrite one with some minor and major changes. Hope you like it.) (Also I'm not autistic, and I'm trying to write a higher-functioning autistic boy. Also I'm a straight woman, not a gay man, in my original write of the story I randomly decided to add gay romance and I'm continuing in order to push myself out of comfort zones and for people into that. So sorry if that may be semi-inaccurate :P)
