Church. What a crazy place.
A story inspired by Hozier's 'Take Me To Church'. In no way is this supposed to denounce the validity of religion. It is merely the ideas of a teenaged man expressing his views.
I advise that you watch the video, you can do that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSVMgRr6pw or it is also in the first part.

Oh How Times Have Changed
Eighteen. It's that time in your life that's nothing if not subjunctive: the mood you use when something might or might not have happened. It's a time that's full of change. Leaving school. Going to University. Leaving home. Saying goodbye to past people. Welcoming new people. Everything becomes different all at once. Parts are hard. Parts are easy. All of it: unavoidable. *** Approaching the end of his final year of education, Andy Williams feels lost. Life feels directionless and he craves something that he's not sure even exists. Going through the motions of life with no passion left to give feels numbing until he meets a friend that shows him there's light at the end of the tunnel.Complete
Carnations in the Alley | manxman | (Historical Romance)
| ManxMan | - Historical Fiction - Strong SEXUAL Content | Tossed aside for his sexual preferences, a young lord is abandoned by his family. But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid. Of what? (This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)Complete

Andy's Chase
andy thought that the stars would find its way to tell you that you're chasing the right person-to tell you the right direction like how it guides the egyptians back then. chase thought of the universe being so perfectly balanced but cruel, some would reach their goal, some would not, but what could we do to help them up? andy gazed at the star and thought that once aligned, the fate won't mess you up. they say, everything happened for a reason, but what really makes fate interesting is every mind that exists made it happened. chasing someone is not compulsory, but a way to tell them you would be there whatever it takes. which leads to my question: was chasing him is right?Complete

The Wright Way
Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language. Not suitable for children. Some chapters include violent and sexual content and may be triggering for some people. Read at your own discretion. Also, the main character is pretty homophobic in the beginning of the story. Needless to say, he'll change ;) yet if you find such a start too upsetting, you might want to skip this book. -------------------------------------------------- Dear Reader, I hope you'll enjoy this story!
