A skeleton is all that keeps Ziri Meziani from becoming a ghost.

Born to a prosaic town in East Sussex, Ziri is more than used to the company of his thoughts and daydreams, a habit nobody took issue with until 2006. Crediting it to him merely being reserved, they'd shrug and leave him to wander the uncharted terrain of his mind undisturbed.

Two years later in 2008, however, everyone from his parents to his psychologist has become adamant he learn to be a normal teenager. 'It's not healthy to be alone all the time', 'you need a support system to recover', 'make some friends', etcetera.

You'd think his life depended on it.

The truth is, Ziri's no good at making friends. He's 'too much' -a title scalpeled to the back of his neck along with 'queer' and 'leech'- and he's got no clue on how to strip himself into something palatable for the general public. Besides, he won't focus on 'recovery' until he manages to pay his parents for his idiocy; a goal that clashes directly with his fear when his only remaining opportunity to make money is to tutor two of his classmates. It'll be fine, he thinks. Maths is hardly a segway to sharing childhood stories and past regrets.

But Miles Hoàng has no interest in Ziri's plan of strict professionalism. Before he can realise what he's doing, Ziri invites him right through the fissures into his psyché, and with no warning, Miles picks up all his bones.

Secrets (boyxboy) by sian-elizabeth

Have you ever met a rich family? The kind from the movies. You know with the enormous house and expensive cars and the extended driveway that has a fancy fountain? What about a rich boy? The kind from the big screen with the perfect hair who happens to be the owner and driver of a luxurious sports car, and a smile that makes your heart melt. Have you ever wondered if they actually have any flaws? Are they really that perfect? The life of a rich teenage boy is something most people envy, but perhaps it's not what it seems. Maybe the boy from the novels isn't perfect. Maybe the boy from the movies only shows what he's supposed to. Maybe his life is just a facade. The boy from the movies could be Will Lockwood, living the life most people dream of, surrounded by the type of people everyone just simply adores. However, the boy from the big screen may find himself living a not so perfect life when something, or someone, changes everything. Or Where rich boy Will Lockwood is the youngest of three brothers and happens to find himself in a tricky situation when he meets his oldest brother's best friend, Parker Hayes.

Rules Of The Game: Book 1 by tangled-dreams

"What is your type, then?" I jolt, his question catching me off guard. Rolling my head to the side to look at him, blades of grass press against my cheek. Thank god he's not watching me because he can't see the war happening inside of my head. On the contrary, Miles eyes are fluttered shut, one of his hands resting on his stomach. Every inch of his dark skin is illuminated by the moon, like angels poured silver glitter over him. There's no part of his body that isn't tastefully sculpted, almost like he took a shearing knife to his muscles before coming here simply to carve out a perfect body to tease me with. His t-shirt pulls taunt with each breath. The fabric catches on his muscles. The words are caught in the back of my throat. You. You have always been my type. Instead, I snort. "Whatever it is, it sure as hell wasn't her." - - - Parker Graham is totally content to be living his normal life. He has everything a teenage boy could dream of: rich parents, a nice car, crazy athletic skills, the star spot on the football team, and girls from around the state chasing his every move. But that contentment is stirred up when Miles Holt moves into town. Miles is everything that Parker isn't: steadfast, tall, a party animal, bilingual, black, and openly gay... which he has no problem admitting nor proving. And, to Parker's dismay, it's love at first sight. In order to keep his life straight and continue the image of perfection, Parker cannot let out the secret of his sexuality due to his scholarships and quarterback reputation on the line. Miles shouldn't get attached regarding a court law for his messed up family. Parker won't risk everything just to have one shot at keeping Miles in the end... will he?

Only to Feel This Fully [Completed] by ewwwdavid

Charlie Holloway has great friends, good grades, a steady part-time job he actually likes, and athletic ability that makes him a star in two sports, but recently it's all felt rather hollow. However, when childhood friend Theo Broussard comes back into his life, Charlie is shaken out of a years-long daze that has left him coasting through his teenage years. Theo just happening to be the star player for his school's biggest rival and his first crush only complicates matters further. When things get difficult, Charlie finds himself forced to choose between his current life following the path of least resistance or a harder but possibly more fulfilling one. "Only to feel this fully, this entire, the way snow touched bare skin & is suddenly, no longer snow" -Ocean Vuong, "Devotion" from Night Sky with Exit Wounds [Re-edited 4/18/20]
