17 year old Orion has recently moved to a new town due to the harassment and transphobia they faced at their old one. They're a person stained with old memories that they'd like to forget. 

 Thats why they're ecstatic when the local group of queer outcasts- Elliot, Sam, and Xen- invite Orion to hangout at their self-proclaimed safe space: an hidden creek bordered by old concrete ruins and the twisted stories behind them. 

It only becomes a problem when Sam goes missing in the tunnel that everyone ventured into. 

A few days later, the bodies start appearing. Limbs broken and flesh mutilated by fire. 

Stoneridge is a small town stained with hidden secrets. And it's with Sam's disappearance that they start slowly rotting to the surface. 

Yeah. This definitely was a bad idea.

In the middle of nowhere, eight-year-old Joshua Gonzalo discovers something rather odd. There lay another little boy, covered in injuries and strange, inky markings, with no sign as to how he'd gotten there. Instantly captivated by the peculiar boy, Joshua helps him without a second thought. But after forming a close companionship, Joshua finds out the true nature of his new - inhuman - friend. The boy-creature morphs into a terrifying monster of bone and claw, and he tears Joshua's world apart. Feeling betrayed and revolted, Joshua forces him out of his life. ~ ~ ~ When he first awoke on this planet, Seth only really received a warm welcome from one person. Unlike everyone else, this boy was not afraid of him, and he grows to adore him for it. Together they become wonderful friends... Until the day the boy realizes what Seth truly is. Seth makes one fatal mistake, and he ruins everything for the both of them. Years later, the boy he reveres still despises him, and rightly so. He's pushed Seth away and he never wants to see him, the monster, the alien again. But... Seth wants to make amends. He doesn't want to live without him anymore. He's in love with him, terribly devoted to him, and willing to do anything to make things right again. But can he ever get Joshua to accept him again? Can he do it before his true nature is exposed to the rest of the world? Terrestrial Alien is story exploring sexuality, trauma, and growth... Second chances and what it truly means to be a monster. ~ ~ ~ 🌌 (01/02/19) #2 in LGBT fiction #5 in Paranormal fiction 🎉💕 (09/13/2019) COMPLETED! #2 in alienlove #9 in extraterrestrial 🎉 (12/04/2019) #1 in LGBT+ fiction!

Life after Death: The Afterlife of Hezekiah Chamblee by JayDEvers
57 parts Complete Mature
After being killed execution-style by his own family, a young man settles in an alternative afterlife and learns how to live. **************** On the day he graduated from high school, Hezekiah Chamblee was killed by his parents all because he wasn't meant to be a part of their American Dream and that he was a product of rape. Shortly after entering into the void between life and death, he is surprised to learn that he was not meant for heaven or hell and he wasn't meant to return to Earth. He is then sent to a simulated world known as "Nexus," where people like him were sent here and that they view an alternate timeline where they don't exist on Earth. It is there that Hezekiah not only views a timeline where he doesn't exist but also meets other teenagers and young adults like him, reunites with a crush from his old life (they being close friends back then), encounters with a sly femme fatale with wicked intentions, and learns about his true origin by both God and Lucifer (the deities being brothers themselves). Meanwhile in the land of the living, word of his death would trigger a butterfly effect that would unleash scandals, change lives, and have one of Hezekiah's younger twin brothers expose the family secrets before the family would completely come to ruin. Follow this story alongside Hezekiah Chamblee as he undergoes dynamic paradigm shifts about himself while learning to finally use his voice as his family's forbidden desires would bring them to their downfall. "What's done in the dark would soon be brought into the light. And what was said in whispers would be shouted loud from the rooftops."

ORION GRAVES has always been on top. A straight-A, high honors student. Top of his class on the path to valedictorian and an Ivy League school. Until suddenly, that all changes. Orion was outed as transgender at his old school, and became victim to relentless harassment. Not to mention that in June of his junior year, his mother lost her battle with cancer. Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning. But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top, nor keep his head down and stay under the radar like old times. Because there's Caleb. CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. And Orion's new best friend. But Caleb's lost someone too, and is struggling just as much; this perfect kid suddenly not so perfect anymore. He's got his own demons, and pressures, and a heavy depression holding him back. And yet, through these shared struggles, their friendship somehow manages to blossom into something so much more sacred. ---------- Cover and story by me, @ilovegaydinosaurs / @coolsaige (youtube) Official Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XONF7xeRhcFwDBWpbxmsB?si=7s4Whhq-RlewQIiya3UwQw
ROTWOTA: Book 3 - Resistance, Rebellion, and Revenge by BenGamer2496
21 parts Complete Mature
I recommend reading the first two parts before this! After only two weeks into the anthro takeover, things have gone right and wrong on both sides. Emma, Cody, Eric, and many more human and engine survivors have fought to escape to a safe haven within the Biltmore estate and village in North Carolina. However, with tension between new and old faces slowly arising, everyone will inevitably have to face the war in order to survive, or at least make it out while staying themselves, physically and mentally. Meanwhile, on the opposite side, June and her friends and family just fighting to stay alive slowly begin to realize they're more important than they think. As not long after, they're forced back into battle to help continue their part in bringing about the end of the human race. However, many don't realize at first that they have more in common than they think. All they know is that many of those they've been acquainted with will likely make it out alive or as themselves. Now it's up to them to partner with their new and old friends and equate one another as allies against powerful forces in order to protect themselves, and all they ever cared about before it's too late. Inspired by the works of: TidmouthThunderbolt/_Frogz Shanks Sodor Fallout Studios Lucat_here ChloeTgTf Truck_of_Tar ThomasProductions2019 Tines Sensathe PATBP The Duffer Brothers (And many more YouTube and Wattpad creators, this list is longer than I remember and I don't want to let it take up the description, please forgive me I ran out of allowed characters) Warning: This story contains mature themes such as swearing, death, themes of war, gore depictions, highly racist actions and symbolism, and more. I recommend you be 13 years or older to read this story. ALSO, DO NOT STEAL ANY OF THE OC CHARACTERS (but I do confess that there are some characters that I don't own and I'd like to apologize to those owners that I didn't credit you all😬). Enjoy the third part of the ROTPOTA series!

This story is complete ✅ Alec is a twenty-five year old gentle boy with the looks of an angel. He has not figured out what he needs in love yet and has never had a relationship. But something urges him to act, or rather someone, a person who is his total opposite. Sam is intimidating. He is tall enough to be a basketball player, muscular, covered in tattoos, and quick tempered. Most people prefer to keep a distance startled by his menacing glares. What will happen when these two distant poles collide? One thing is for sure, it will get unbearably hot... and funny. *** This book depicts a manxman love story. It includes several graphic intimate scenes and is rated mature. Those chapters will be marked as XXX. Please read only if you are comfortable with the topic and of appropriate age. *** Enjoy!
