Shell Of A Man by ryanaureoholt

"I guess just spending time with some people fixes everything." Carrying the burdens of his past was Jason Smith. Numb. Emotionless. After all those years, what remained was just a shell of a human being. Dragging his life, one day at a time, because of the promises he made to his mother. Carrying the guilt of being the sole survivor of an accident was Raymond Holt. But, when life gave him a second chance to be alive, he accepted it with open arms. Burying the guilt deep inside, he lived his life to the fullest. He was quite the ray of sunshine. When the two guys first met at the NYU Law School, differences occurred, but eventually, they fell for each other. But, college love is young love, and it doesn't always withstand the hardships of life. Being oblivious to what they had found with each other broke their hearts, and they walked their separate ways. Years later, when they cross paths again, the circumstances are against them. Will they be able to overcome their differences? Will they be able to correct their mistakes and make up for the lost time? Most importantly, will they be able to move on from what transpired all those years ago? Read to find out. A/N: I don't know shit about the law. This is everything that I learned by watching Suits and How To Get Away With Murder. Correct me wherever needed. :)

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?) by wonderland_batgirl

Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. *Was on hold for a few months (May-August 2024) during my graduation and moving but new posts weekly starting Monday, Sep. 30!!

The Snowy-haired Genius by _Lost-in-stars_

Jason Williams didn't think going out to dinner with his family was going to be any different than usual. Comments about his sexuality, some teasing from his brothers, and lots of paparazzi. You know, nothing strange at all. But a fight with his father made Jason storm out of the restaurant, down an alleyway, and suddenly his life isn't the usual anymore. He woke up in an unfamiliar dark room, and a handsome boy opened his door to explain. The snowy-haired genius was holding him captive until he got what he wanted. Life couldn't be worse. Warning: This book contains mental issues such as depression, schizophrenia, and others. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, then you should probably think twice before reading this. Of course, if you want to read it and you're sensitive, I'm not stopping you. This book only touches upon the subjects; It doesn't go deep into suicide attempts and voices. Remember despite the hate these mental illnesses receive, I believe you. Mental illnesses are no joke, they're not something I try to use for views. I am not hating on the illnesses. I know it's hard, but they are relevant to the book so I had to include them. If you're feeling depressed, please talk to a counsellor. Or, if you're too scared for that, I'll happily listen and give you advice. Thank you! (I needed to include this because I didn't want people thinking I thought the mental illnesses were stupid. I don't, I promise. I love you, and I need you to keep fighting!)

Universal Constant by kullman

An ailing professor reflects on his decades long relationship with a troubled alcoholic. Heath Rosco has been in love with Alexander for years, but it's not getting any easier. High school friends, turned lovers, the two men are torn apart by fate as they desperately try to maintain their relationship despite outside forces. Loosely inspired by the life of Alexander the Great. Trigger/Content Warning: heavy depictions of alcoholism throughout. A character gets alcohol poisoning on page. A character seems to be suicidal. Self harm discussed at length and depicted throughout. Some brief racism (the protagonist is discriminated against). Some profanity. A major character dies in a traumatic manner. **I'm gonna be perfectly honest here, I wanted to write something that feels like listening to an entire Taylor Swift album, mostly Folklore, like you just went through a whole relationship, not yours, but you're still emotional about it

Obsession by JMPalmer

**For anyone reading or who has read 'Crush', this is the story of Jenson and Caleb** They say the course of true love never did run smooth... Watching his best friend, Oliver, fall in love with his old friend, Asher, almost breaks Jenson Archer's heart. He's only ever had eyes for Oliver, but has never admitted it out loud. Not even to Oliver. Choosing to stay close to Oliver rather than push him away, Jenson tries to support Oliver's relationship with Asher, while secretly wishing for a relationship like theirs for himself. Caleb Tennyson believes he's in love with Asher. After Asher moves to a different school and almost breaks Caleb's heart, Caleb's still determined to keep Asher in his life. He even tracks Asher down and declares his love for him, all the while knowing that Asher is in love with Oliver. Both Jenson and Caleb are too busy trying to love someone that isn't meant for them, almost obsessing over their friends, that neither of them are prepared for when they meet each other by chance one day ... and are totally blown away. As life moves forward, they try to navigate their new relationship while being apart from each other at college, attempt to overcome jealousy and addictions and then watch from the sidelines as their best friends and former crushes marry each other. Will their own relationship stay the course? **Updated weekly**
