When Cal wakes up in a psychiatric ward after a suicide attempt, his life appears to be over in every way but literally. His family no longer knows how to talk to him (when they even want to), and, upon going back to school, Cal is faced with crushing rumors about his absence started by his own brother. Eventually, his parents decide than an online school would be the best choice for him, and Cal agrees, if only for the sake of soothing his social anxiety. It's in the school chatroom that he meets Craig, another lonely boy like himself over a country away -- but physical distance has nothing on emotional closeness.

A story of loss, recovery, mental illness, and love, The Art of Losing Touch is a novella by X.E. Lesure about the strength of family during what are often some of the hardest years of a teenager's life.

Monsieur Laurier by holysacrilege

"What is love in this temporal life, if not just a distraction from the pain that doesn't seem to end." After losing his best friend to an unexplained suicide, Mateu finds himself left to pick up the pieces with his best friend's younger brother, Ferran. Demure, distant and with a seemingly undying love for the memory of his brother, Ferran fascinates the abrasive Mateu who is relentless in his own search for answers. But uncovering the truth requires the uncomfortable task of facing it for what it is. Only a thin line separates devotion from obsession, dedication from delusion, and passion from mania. Mateu has to choose between coming to terms with the past or be swallowed by it whole. *** Editor's Choice August 2022 @wattpad

But the opioid pills he's using to manage his pain are changing his behavior in ways he won't be able to hide for much longer. It isn't even his biggest secret: no one knows the real Jon White, and he's terrified if the full truth of himself comes out it will cost both the love of his earthly dad and his heavenly Father. Cary has one last hurdle to leave years of childhood abuse behind him: the trial at which he has to testify against his abuser. But his decision to speak up has splintered the remains of his family and his former best friend seems bent on self-destructing. Cary's going to need everything he's learned along the way to snatch Jon off the ledge. It's never been more obvious the journey from walking wounded to wholeness isn't meant to be travelled alone.
