ᴏᴀᴋʟᴇʏ ᴄᴀʀʀɪʟʟᴏ was discovered at fourteen years old, being praised as a musical prodigy by the media ever since. His fame had only increased until now. At nineteen old, he's the most remarkable musician of his age, and he's only getting started. At least, he was, until his record label decides his depression makes him difficult to work with.

ɴᴏʟᴀɴ ᴍᴜʟʟᴇɴ grew up with his face plastered all over billboards. He'd been living the Hollywood life since he was five years old and has already made his name. At eighteen years old and after a well-needed break, Nolan is ready to make his comeback. At least, he thinks he is, until his anxiety starts holding him back.

After their first encounter, they quickly become each other's beacon in the dark. Eventually they realize there's a reason for everything. But maintaining a healthy relationship proves to be difficult when you're both famous, dealing with complicated feelings, and trying to find yourself in the process.

SAFE (mxm) by ani_dn
82 parts Ongoing Mature
A handsome man, obsessed with computers, workout and books, clever, well known for his professional expertise, rich and impressive. David is all of that on his thirtieth birthday, but there's one more tiny detail. No one knows this except his best friend Sarah. His extreme anxiety and severe OCD has kept him home most of these years. The shield dome he's been hiding under, cultivating his perfect self, is suddenly too small. He is suffocating and feeling that life can give him more and it might get too late to experience it, if he doesn't break the glass walls. To do this, he needs a place where he can still feel safe and someone who can gain his trust. But what if that someone turns out to be nothing he expected. *** Welcome to my mxm story and thank you for joining the adventure! ❤❤❤ I hope you like it. *** This book depicts a mxm love story.

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

Everyone's a little trapped in their own heads. Cassian is the only child of very wealthy parents and has grown up being moulded to their expectations of him. He's a great son and a model student while being popular and confident and he consciously strives to be perfect, so much so that he has never even had an unscheduled moment to breathe or think and the thought of making a mistake terrifies him. Growing up in a household where he is basically the caretaker of his little brother, Theodore is plagued by anxiety that he keeps to himself as he tries to make his family look as normal as possible to people on the outside so that he will not lose his brother. When the quiet, lonely Theodore transfers to his school, Cassian cannot help gravitating towards the new kid despite the disapproval of his friends and parents. He's determined to pull Theodore out of his shell only to realise he may be in one himself.
