Fighting is Meaningless by AnotherCupOfGreenTea

Blade was the son of Ying's family. The duke, his father, was the head of the military power of the Empire, and it was pretty easy to see a desire for more growing. The Emperor and the Crown Prince, fearing Ying's family would commit treason with all that power they were gaining, decided to give the order to end their legacy, and that's how soon Blade found himself with his whole family dead, bleeding, on the floor of his manor. Blade, in his last breath, prayed for a chance to get his revenge on the Empire, and on the Crown Prince. He did desire to give them a painful death, enjoy, savor every drop of blood coming from their bodies and actually carry out the plan to conquer the Empire. His soul full of madness, hatred and bloodthirst, somehow goes back in time of one year before his family's death sentence. Knowing all the military expeditions and events, Blade slowly plans his revenge and his first goal is to get closer to the Empire's territory. It's when he gets appointed as personal guard to the Crown Prince himself, that he slowly understands how dark and impure the Royal Family is.

L'aire (BoyxBoy) (Watty's 2018) by NothinNNomore

L'aire's always been different than his family, and they have done all they could to make sure he felt welcome and accepted in their home to an extreme extent. Feeling suffocated by the weight of his family's affections and accommodations, L'aire runs away from home and lands in a world very different from his own. There he finds friends in the many creatures of this world, a love he'd never thought he'd have, and a whole lot of trouble. It starts slow, but I promise it'll pick up the farther into the story you get. Note: I do not own the cover image. Credit goes entirely to the artist.

No More Wasting Time by Creative_Writer407

Diego Santiago was not your average teenager. He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush. It's a handful. He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe. Despite all these things that are making his life one big roller coaster, he still wants one thing in life, for his mother and friends to be happy. Caden Mitchell had a hectic life of his own as well. He was the enemy at first and is trying his best to become a true brother and a true lover. He knew he needed to change, but his old habits keep crawling back. He needed to learn and grow as a person, and for the sake of his mental health, he needed to change fast. Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.

Travis Phelps- the homophobic asshole that beat up the outsiders as a way to filter his own self hatred, stuck in an abusive household. He was miserable, gay and being suffocated by the grip of his father's religiousness. Sal Fisher- the new kid in town, the exact thing Travis hated. Gay and transgender, on the outside happy with his life. On the inside, dying from a heart disease and living with a verbally abusive alcoholic father. Both were miserable, though it was hardly obvious to outsiders. They were polar opposites yet the exact same. Brought together by the very same religiousness that was slowly killing them, the two are at first enemies. Though after growing together, they make a decision. They were going to run away. They were going to live how they wanted. Even if it killed them. also posted on my ao3, don't worry, i'm not copywriting anyone!
