[A Slice-Of-Life LGBTQ+ Story about Found Family]
Matthew Robinson's career as a teacher seemed to have stalled, yet when the winds in the East suddenly lands him in the employ as a nanny, Matthew realizes he's probably signed up for more than he bargained for.

~

All Matthew's ever wanted is to be a teacher, yet something from his past constantly looms over him, unwilling to let him pursue it. Finally ready to give up, he, to his surprise, lands a job as a nanny for a corporate dad and his two kids.

The house, historic as it may be, is ready to fall apart, which is now his responsibility; one kid is ready and willing to curse him, while the other is a literal ball of sunshine; and his employer is amazingly distant and critical; all of which he didn't remember reading in the job description. Matthew's suddenly very ready to jump ship, yet the longer he stays, the more he realizes they need him just as much as he needs them.

There's no flying umbrella, no carpet-bag, no spoonful of sugar, and no magic here. Oh, how Matthew wishes he had it as easy as Mary Poppins.

My life was supposed to be normal. You're born, raised by good parents, go to school, make friends, graduate, get a job. You create fun memories, find the love of your life, get married, start a family, grow old, and eventually, you breathe your last. That's what life was supposed to be like for me. But instead, my life turned out to be the opposite of normal. And so it was for Chiara, Blake, Jake, Rowan, Nova, and Dijon. To tell our story, we need to go all the way back to the beginning. Before we were even born. It all started 30 years ago. April 5, 2003. a class got into an accident and when the survivors woke up, they realized something was wrong. they got powers , they got taken by scientist who started calling them the hollows. It took almost a month before they were rescued by Mr. Knight, they got taken to a secret place where they could live peacefully. that's a lie, one of the students wanted revenge and not stay hidden, so the group seperated. Every year another person got powers, and so, the search continued. But there was always one question on mr. Knight mind: Why 12 children the first time, and only one per year after that? And one thing was for sure: whenever someone gained powers, they had to give something up in return. It was never a choice. It was just the way it was. So, now that I've explained a bit about how this all started, let's fast forward to the present. It's now 2033. Mr. Knight has found 19 children, and Mr. Douglas, the leader of the other group, has found 10. That means... the 30th child is out there somewhere. Who will it be? And one more thing before I go-welcome to the world of Dark Light.

The Men Next Door by wildfirehoney

✅ Complete ✅ When Campbell Kramer accepted a job offer in Manhattan, she never could've imagined what the city had in store for her. Namely, two handsome men who live on either side of her new apartment. One is older, one is younger. One is introverted, one is extroverted. One is serious, one is playful. Both of them want her attention. What could go wrong? ☲☲☲☲☲ ☆Brooks☆ My neighbor was the one to close the distance between us. She did it quickly -- like she was scared the moment would pass away forever if she let another millisecond go by -- and I rested my hand on the side of her face to steady her. Something about my touch must have given her courage. ♡Campbell♡ The men finally greeted each other while I snipped the green, woody stems and plopped them into the tallest mug I owned. Their sentences were short and awkward, and as I rearranged the blooms for the umpteenth time, the realization that they'd told each other what happened hit me like a south-bound train. I don't know why I didn't expect that. They were best friends, after all. I was just their new neighbor. They had no loyalty to me, no reason to keep our time together a secret. ☆Luca☆ Her lips met mine slowly, softly, hesitantly -- like she wasn't so sure kissing her neighbor was the best idea -- and I responded just as delicately. But when her hand made its way into the back of my hair, our bodies melded together like a lust-struck alloy. And the only hope of separating us was to add more heat. ☲☲☲☲☲ Featured by: 📙 @Wattpad • Spicy Summer Reads (July 2024) • Endless Reading Mode 🧡 (Jan 2024) • Summer in the City 🥵 (June 2023) 📕 @Romance • New Adult (June 2024) • Love Triangle (April 2025) 📘 @Ambassadors • Hot Encounters (Dec 2024) Awards: 🥈 Romance runner-up (The Prime Awards 2023)

This time he did not answer. He stood up straight, smirked, and then turned towards his right. I thought he was finally going to leave, but then, he walked right over to the open space in the counter, came to my side, and leaned down in my face. He slowly slid his left hand in my hair, tucking my locks behind my right ear, and softly placed his right hand on my stomach; making me absolutely freeze in my chair. He smelled really good, with a minty, fresh breath, and an unknown smell that I guessed belonged to him, then moved his lips right on my ear, making it look as if he was kissing it, but then he whispered out the heart-stopping words: "Sweetheart, I am the father of your baby.... Férneis to moró mou, tin agápi mou!!"
