Nate and Alex were just roommates living in a small Brooklyn apartment, then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. What starts as innocent touches soon turns into more. Is it the isolation causing them to crave human touch, or something that was always there, just waiting to come to the surface? 

This story was inspired by a thread on the r/relationships subreddit that was posted a couple of months into lockdown. I never saw any updates on their story so decided to write my own ending for them. The actual details of who these characters are, their jobs, their families, everything is completely made up. Just the idea of two guys developing feelings during quarantine was inspired by the reddit thread.

Roomies Book Two: Quarantine (PolyLove) by sugainmytee

This is the sequel to Roomies. This book takes place immediately following two of our boys' marriage, and at the beginning of quarantine lock down in California. Our four heroes set up residence together....and well....you know....they have to do SOMETHING to while away the hours. This book will make far more sense if you've read the first book. It is a gay, polyamorous romance with explicit scenes along with a decent amount of plot and fluff. So if that's not your thing, find a different book to enjoy. Started August 2021 Ended February 2022

Reignited Heart by BIackWolf

Hi, after many years I've decided to write again. I hope you enjoy reading this story. This is a BL romance story. Will include mature themes as well as some themes that might make some uncomfortable. I'll put in content warnings when those themes come up. Max is a 28 year old guy that has been alone for the past two years. Almost completley isolating himself. His best friend suggests he gets a roommate, so he doesn't have to live alone. And the story unfolds from there.

The Hots (mxm) by ani_dn

This story is complete ✅ Alec is a twenty-five year old gentle boy with the looks of an angel. He has not figured out what he needs in love yet and has never had a relationship. But something urges him to act, or rather someone, a person who is his total opposite. Sam is intimidating. He is tall enough to be a basketball player, muscular, covered in tattoos, and quick tempered. Most people prefer to keep a distance startled by his menacing glares. What will happen when these two distant poles collide? One thing is for sure, it will get unbearably hot... and funny. *** This book depicts a manxman love story. It includes several graphic intimate scenes and is rated mature. Those chapters will be marked as XXX. Please read only if you are comfortable with the topic and of appropriate age. *** Enjoy! Read, comment, and be free to express yourself. All opinions are highly appreciated.

The Heart Of Ace by VaizHarsh

"I...sh... should nnn... not be he...here." I still had time. I looked at the locked door. "You should not be anywhere but here... with me." He dragged my body to his and felt his frenzied kisses all over me. "Please...we shouldn't ..." He dragged my squirming body to his bedroom and pushed me to his bed. I tried some more to make him understand but... "Robbie... " Why was he not mine? My name is Davidson and this my story. Story of jealousy, betrayal, heartbreak and family. The main characters of this story are in a romantic relationship but is toxic at many stages of their life. Both of them are very much romantically leaned to each other. CAUTION : This story contains VERBAL NON CONSENT sexual scenes/ RELUCTANT scenes/cheating/infidelity and CHILD endangerment. Please don't continue reading if any of the above is not your cup of tea. This story might be TRIGGERING to many readers, so please proceed with caution. Follow me on Instagram: VaizHarsh to know more. As a writer, my visualisation runs wild and I let my characters develop on their own. But as a human being I don't stand by many of my character's habits and way of thinking. I do not support or prompt RAPE/INFIDELITY/CHILD ENDANGERMENT. This is a fantasy story strictly for entertainment.

I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU by dashipoflams

Note: I don't know half of what I wrote here. It's cringy, it's old, and it's definitely NOT my best writing. But due to me going all like "oH iT's mY fIrsT fAnfIc! LeMme sAvE tHe mEmoRies", I chose not to take this down. This is not edited in most parts, so please, you have the right to turn around whenever you want to. --- Alexander Hamilton was taking a flight to America when a storm ahead had to make them land. As Alexander Hamilton boarded his plane from South Carolina to New York, he couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes and freckles of a certain boy, John Laurens. They make a small talk before landing. Alex thought that chances are never that he would see him again. Boy, he was wrong. This would be your typical, (possibly stereotypical, my apologies) Lams fanfiction. :) ••• Fanfic status: Completed, Under Rewriting Started: March 27, 2020 Completed: October 17, 2020 Chapter count: 55 (including epilogue) Art: Drawn by author *cringe* Hotel: Trivago~ Quick Note: So, while editing, some chapters could get - how you say? - worse and cringier, as I think they are, than the one before.
