Life has become something else after Los Angeles had been closed off from the rest of the world. The rich stay in power, safe from all the danger in the city by building literal and metaphorical walls to keep the money in and the poor out. Once or twice a month the city is ravaged by monsters in search of blood and destruction. The city would be in ruins if it wasn't for a strange masked figure.
My name is Alex Cruz. I am a Latin teen currently living a life more luxurious than the Kardashians. It wasn't always like this. I used to be like any normal kid with a single mom working a 9 to 5. That was all until my mom with the help of two of her richest clients was able to become one of the most successful women in finance, owning a multi-million dollar business and throwing us into an entirely new way of life. But my new life isn't all just big houses, fancy limo rides, and money. When the sun sets on this city, secrets unfold. The only things I have to save me from this hell of a city are two of my best friends and a strong mother.

No Place For Me | [boyxboy]
Growing up, Rue has always found his mother's rules strange. Rue was told never to take off the gloves while outside, and before a speck of new growth could grow on his head, his mother would dye the color brown.

Alone & Far From Home
Our Street Corners Keep Secrets This is me asking for a brick to be thrown through my window, a message attached that reads, "Why can't you just wake up?" I am not a star, don't look up to me in hopes of finding something more. That which is out of reach does not promise anyone a goddamn thing. Hope arises in possibility, but possibility is fragmented and selfish, so don't think for a second that I am safe ground to walk on. I will sink beneath the feet of a thousand traveling companions, and make ruin of any city's foundations, because concrete and steel can never tell a soul how it feels. Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead, is where we truly belong. Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will some day end, but that most of us just live to follow directions, and many times we end up totally lost. - Alexander William GaskarthComplete

Undercover (Boyxboy)
My heart pulsated through my chest and I didn't think I could hold on for much longer. The frightening, terrorising feeling of his fingers slipping through mine was causing the arm that was gripping to the edge of the cliff to shake. "Hold on, Harry! I've got you, I swear! Please, just hold on!" my voice held a shrill of terror to it and my eyes were filling with tears; tears of pain, frustration and sheer horror. Harry moved his gaze from our slipping fingers to my eyes. "It's okay, Ethan. Let go. You can't save me; not this time." I hated how calm his tone was. I hated how defeated he sounded. He had never given up - we always held hope for one another! We never gave up. "Don't you say that to me! Don't you fucking say that to me!" I roared, a small sob escaping my lips. Harry just smiled sadly, his muscular, beautiful body swaying in the harsh wind. The fall was so big; he would surely die of a heart attack before he hit the ground. I prayed to God he would. No. I was breaking my own rule; I would not give up on him. Either both of us lived or neither of us would. My life would be over the second his ended, anyway.Complete
