Hurtless (BL) by Sammyjams02

PSA: This story isn't meant for the feign of heart. It may be triggering in many ways. It deals with physical and emotional abuse, depression, self harm, suicide idealization, and many more possible triggering things. Stand alone, but part of the Better With You World.

They Met on the Night Train (bxb) by aurianamiller

Ben never expected to cry with a stranger on a late-night train, but heartbreak does strange things to people. The next morning, he wakes up beside someone who seems like the last person he'd ever click with - the "straight" football player. Reeling from the fallout of a toxic relationship, Ben is struggling to find his footing-and his voice. As he dives into preparing for the provincial art competition, he's forced to confront the emotions he's spent years burying. Between navigating his ex's shadow and creating a piece that truly reflects who he is, Ben begins to realize that art is about more than just perfection-it's about honesty. And then there's the new guy. His unexpected partner in art, whose easy laughter and unfiltered energy challenge Ben in ways he never imagined. As their worlds collide on the canvas and off, Ben has to decide if he's ready to risk opening his heart again-for himself, and maybe for someone new. Honest, tender, and brimming with hope, this is a story about finding your own colours in a world that's too often black and white.

I'm Your Wreck by writerbug44

Liam Howard was a wreck. He had been for two years, ever since a knee injury ruined his soccer career, ruined his dreams, and made him a laughing stock of the community with a viral video of his worst moment. Now, he was still struggling to figure out who he was without the sport and where he'd go with his future when he couldn't be the star athlete anymore. In his junior year of college, Liam was confused about his future and about himself. Things were only made more confusing when he met his new roommate for the year. Banks, an aspiring tattoo artist and expert chicken wing connoisseur, piqued Liam's interest from day one. Which was weird, because he'd never thought about another guy so much, or looked at one as much as he looked at Banks. Junior year steamrolls forward as Liam tries to learn this new version of himself, who he is, who he loves, and how the hell he's going to get through the rest of the year in one piece.

Notebook [Book One] by SerenityHeat

Aiden hid the year-long abuse from everyone; his mother, father, and baby cousin. That was, until it became too much, and his parents pulled him out of school to relocate. Evan couldn't wait to introduce his favourite cousin to the group of boys he grew up with. Maybe Aiden would finally make some friends and come to terms with the violence he faced back in London. Nathan was the quiet boy whose life had been upside down for years and showed no signs of settling. That was until he gravitated towards the pretty pink-haired boy who carried just as many painful stories. One mute; another scarred for life. They were meant to be. #1 - Teen-Drama 🌈🌈 Community Pride Recommendations 2025 🌈🌈

Bittersweet Strawberries by Aasahiii

Andrew is an introverted guy who's also a bit of a weeb. He has bad anxiety (which has its own triggers but it doesn't deprive him of the ability to make friends) and sometimes thinks negatively of himself. It doesn't help that he's gay and he hides it from almost everyone except his best friends. This year, he's starting college. Nathan is one of the most good-looking seniors in the same college Andrew is attending. He's in his junior year. He has a good reputation in college and he gets along with almost everyone. He knows he's straight and he only dates girls. Until one day, Andrew and Nathan cross paths. What will happen to them? Find out the story of Andrew and Nathan by reading my first ever book. (This book is heavily neglected, but it gets updated here and there. One day it'll be completed but who knows when. Read at your own patience.)
