Wild Nights, Hot And Crazy Days by Jus4kix

Follow Carmen, a young and deeply closeted gay teenager as he navigates the 1980's and 1990's yearning for love and trying to find where he fits in. This story is rated M because it contains elements of death (including children), homophobia, religious fanatacism, alcohol abuse, and suicide (attempted and successful). In later chapters, as the characters mature, some sexual stuff is included as well. This is a TRUE STORY. Everything depicted here actually happened. Content warnings will be posted at the top of each episode where warranted. All names have been changed to protect the innocent. And the guilty. Notes on this webnovel: This novel spans the 1980's, the 1990's and early 2000's. At the top of each update will be an indicator of what year this part of the story takes part in. This novel is a hybrid graphic webnovel. The majority of the story is text, but each time a major plot point happens a new image will be included in that update. As the story progresses the images will become more frequent, eventually every update will have a new image as I get more comfortable with drawing again.

Nathan was the quiet boy whose life had been upside down for years and showed no signs of settling.

Finding Life Again by Kariario

Raised by cold parents who never spared him a glimpse of the attention, Kai dedicated his life to earning the affection he never received at home. Successful in his studies, devoted to his passion, he found a love that crushed him together with the realisation that he failed, and his parents would never look in his way. A year after his graduation, Kai was lost and had no idea how to pursue his life. Holding onto one person that never left his side, he decided to move forward and battle all the traumas that haunted him. He never expected that the person who would help him the most would be someone he met right at the start of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.

Camping Trip by LilyAnnaLace

Aiden's summer of quiet isolation is sabotaged by Lucas and his circle of jocks; the exact people Aiden took a job in the woods to avoid. Pestered by stupid jokes and needy campers, his plans to be ready for a musical audition by the end of the summer slips further and further away from reality. There's one person to blame; one person who seems like he'd accept Aiden one moment and laugh at him for having a dream the next. Doubt, misgivings and heartache disrupt his life, but give him a summer he'll never forget. Cover designed by @yukikoking_94!
