Miss, Do I Know You? by ReneeSteinberg

But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected pleasures -- comfort of new friendships, rekindling of old ones frayed by time and circumstance, unconditional love of found family, and the blossoming of a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. And when fate starts asking for more, people are forced to dig deep within. ────── "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again."

Whispers of our Hearts (gxg) by thegayykid

Hazel and Ivy are inseparable-best friends in a small town where any deviation from the norm is critically viewed. Their friendship has seen them through the ups and downs of adolescence, but when deep connection unexpectedly turns into tender feelings, their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Hazel is unsure of her feelings-friendship or love? Ivy knows what she wants, but fear of the unknown and the reactions of her conservative surroundings hold her back. Amidst family tensions and societal expectations, the two struggle to understand what they truly feel for each other. But how does one deal with feelings that could destroy everything that has mattered to them so far? How can they find their way when the love that draws them together is simultaneously seen as the greatest crime? ----- Excerpt: "Are you sure we're ready for this, I mean, that between us, you and me?" she asked softly as my gaze swept over the shimmering surface of the river. "What if someone finds out?" I gently placed my hand on her arm. "Sometimes you have to take a risk to find out what really matters," I said, my voice a whisper in the evening breeze. "I know it's complicated, but I can't ignore these feelings any longer. I want you to know how I feel-not just as a friend, but as something more." I felt my heart race. I could barely grasp the pain and joy in Hazel's eyes. The moment was so intense it felt as if it could stop time. ----- Trigger Warnings: Forbidden Love Family Conflicts Emotional Strain Loss of a Loved One Suicide Societal Pressure and Stigmatization Homophobia ----- English isn't my first language, therefore, there may be some spelling and grammatical mistakes

The Boyfriend (The Camgirl Part 3) by taylorstorms

WARNING: WHOLESOME, BUT SMUTTY AS ALL HELL (Read "The Camgirl" and "The Roommate" before this!) Just as everything seems to be falling into place for Blake and Liam and Marie and Lexi, winter break comes, and along with it, the test of whether or not their relationships can handle a month of being apart. Once apart from Blake and with his friends and family, Liam gets a worried Blake might be a rebound, and wants to do everything he can to make sure that's not the case and find and take care of any red flags before they could become a problem. As he gets closer to seeing Blake again, though, he gets curious, and starts experimenting in hopes of fulfilling a deal he made with her. Once they get back to school, he plans on working through any issues that might come up so that he can be the best boyfriend possible to Blake, and make sure that she's the one, like he believes she is. While most of her friends have fun and family and relaxation to look forward to, Blake just has pain and loneliness. Her grandparents are great, but they just about the only thing in her hometown that fits that label. Blake misses Liam terribly, and being home dredges up a lot of old, unresolved issues that Blake is set on dealing with herself rather than depending on Liam or anyone else. She just hopes she can make it through break. Lexi and Marie, while apart over break, have decided to turn the distance into something to have fun with. They both miss each other terribly, but being apart doesn't have to get in the way of them being together or spicing things up.

4ng3l Num63r$ (BL) by Blub3rryxoxo

A high-school story about two boys. A popular boy, Pierre, falls in love with a goth boy, Nico. But because of their polar opposite looks and personalities, he thinks that the stoic goth won't love him back. Something changes when Pierre turns sixteen. Suddenly, he is blessed by the gods with the power of being able to make any wish on an angel number, and the wish will come true instantly. But can love be forced? Is it wrong to force someone to be in love with you? Will the wishes last? That is the catch. For the one minute that you get to make the wish, you can add any conditions you want. Except that whatever it is can NOT last forever. You could make it last for an hour or two or for the rest of the day, maybe even a week. The limit is a month. But after the time you have asked the wish for, the effects cease to exist. And whatever happened will be forgotten. The only person who can remember what happened is the wish maker. In this scenario being Pierre. Pierre can ask for absolutely anything to be cast upon someone or himself: love, death, revenge, sorrow. But if death is caused or revenge is pursued, the effects are unreversable. Once pain is inflicted, it does not heal after the time limit. Will Pierre use the wishes for good? Or will he abuse the power and cause havoc? Warning ⚠️: This is a BL (Boy's love). It is GAY! If you do not like it, then simply do not read it. Thank you! - Jessie.
