Say Something 【boyxboy】√Completed by larkin33

Jude doesn't talk. He can't, even when he wants to. They don't want to hear what he has to say, and they only use their words to hurt him. So why even try anymore? Starting at a new school seems like the perfect opportunity to blend into the background, but it isn't far enough away to start over. Some people just won't let him forget about his past. The teachers don't understand. He can't tell them why. He can't say anything at all. Ross understands. Ross writes to him. Slowly, he pulls Jude out of his shell, waiting for him to say something. ----- Say Something is a story of overcoming fear with the help of friendship and love. As someone who has struggled with anxiety, I tried to do something a little different with my writing style this time by including a lot of thoughts and feelings rather than a ton of description and detail. I'd like to add that it mentions things like sex and violence but I don't plan on going into any graphic detail in this story. There is also occasional cursing. I hope you give it a chance and leave feedback for me as I post new chapters over time. Thank you so much for checking it out! Started: January 15, 2015 Completed: July 28, 2017 **COMPLETED** **ILLUSTRATIONS are being released! The illustrations chapter is private, meaning only followers can view it. Why?

((Written in 2013!!!! Read at your own risk!!)) Adrian's life is pretty complicated, as you can imagine. His parents expect nothing but the best out of him, and if not received, they beat him. His social anxiety makes school a living hell. One day, a new kid shows up. He's from the UK and his name is Jamie. Jamie seems different than anyone Adrian has ever met. He confuses the kid. Jamie knows there is something that Adrian is hiding. And something he's hiding himself. Jamie is actually gay. It's the reason he's moved so much, because none of his other schools are willing to accept it.Could things change when Jamie realizes he's falling for Adrian? And worse, kids in the town are being kidnapped by a strange van. What will Adrian do once Jamie is one of those kids? ~Yes, this is boyxboy. It's my way of saying that being gay is freaking awesome and I think there should be more romance stories with gay relationships, not just straight ones. So, don't like? Don't read and don't waste my time with homophobic crap.Thanks. Also, comments are wonderful!~

Tainted Wings by thenameslore

"Why are you so fucking scared of the truth?" He seethed. The truth. I slowly brought my hands up to his face and kissed him. I kissed him with a desperation akin to that of defying death. This is the closest to the truth you will ever get. I needed this. For the first time in my life i found myself wanting someone, needing someone. I needed his words, i needed his cruelty, i needed his insults, i needed every bit of him. **************************************************** A fracture in his facade. Alystair Satori built walls so high he created an unescapable prison for himself. Cold and indifferent was what he was notoriously known as at the prestigious highly ranked boarding school in England for the rich. The schools new player, Romen Abarra, all he's ever known was alcohol, flirting and running from brutal memories. If only they knew why he left home. What started out as flirting and banters between the unlikely pair turns into something consuming, dangerous and unrelenting love in the chaos of it all.

Lunar Eclipse by NRMedina

"Growing up in a pack house full of rabid wolves was hard. Not being able to shift in a pack house full of rabid wolves was even harder. They would abuse, harass, and touch me.

I didn't have anyone to love me the same way I loved them. I wanted to give up. I was losing hope that I'd never find someone to call mine. And then I found him." ~~~ A cliché love story between a wolf and a vampire. They get close quickly but have their ups and downs. Can they fight off whatever evil comes their way? Or will they need to sacrifice their lives? *WARNING:BOYXBOY* *07/30/2020-09/08/2020* --Highest Rankings--- #28 in fantasyfiction #64 in teendrama #121 in boyxboy

Myocardium by mireyasatura

Sex, drugs and the death-dealing pressure to make money night after night - It's a steep, downward spiral which 19-year-old Elijah Everdeen has found himself stuck in ever since his parents died. If it weren't for his two siblings, he would have given up years ago. For a long time, he wanted to, thought about it every day even. Sometimes - in the cruelest, darkest of nights - he still does. But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in? Who is he? And...who is he really? ~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: The storyline of this book is entirely fictional, it does not intend to mimic or describe real circumstances.
