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.

Rock Bottom (BL) by ilovegaydinosaurs

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 tries to keep his transgender identity under the radar, and he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top. 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. To Orion, he's impossible to dislike, despite him taking the place of valedictorian. Orion was only ever good for his brains. He's never had anything else. Yet now he's scared that he'll have to lose that too. ---------- Chapter 19 Release: Tuesday, January 28 Chapter 20 Release: Friday, January 31 Chapter 21 Release: Tuesday, February 4 Cover and story by me, @ilovegaydinosaurs / @coolsaige Official Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XONF7xeRhcFwDBWpbxmsB?si=7s4Whhq-RlewQIiya3UwQw

COMPLETED I was caught in the net, with no hope of escape. As the net broke the surface, four men shouted in alarm. One called for someone to come up from below deck. He opened the door and studied me. I hissed at him as he approached the edge of the boat. "Let me go, human." He chuckled. "Not a chance, fish. You're my new science project." ~~~~~ Douglass finds himself in a risky situation when he's caught up in a net while swimming back to his cave.

What happens when they realize that they're uncovering something much bigger? ~~~~~ Contains foul language, some disturbing scenes ( experiments on the siren, violent deaths), mild violence, and a brief implication of suicide in one chapter.

Tʜɪs ⵊs Hᴏᴍᴇ | ᴛʀᴀɴs!Tᴜʙʙᴏ AU by bigbahongaloos

Toby/Tubbo, better know as Alesha by the people around him, was put into the foster system when he was fourteen after a tragic incident in his family when he was eleven. His home, which was located on the more dangerous side of town, was robbed, resulting in his parents death, and the kidnapping of him and his sister, Lani. Lani was killed next to him just a few weeks later. Tubbo was eleven when he was taken, and fourteen when he was rescued and put until the system. He bounced from home to home for some months for either "being to quiet" or "not being able to take a joke," when the joke caused him a panic attack from his two years of trauma. Other homes just didn't want to take on the trouble of caring for a traumatized kid once they found out how "hard" it was. One day, when Tubbo is put in a home with a family of four, the dad of the other three and one of the kids, who is Tubbo's age, take a strong liking to Tubbo, who they thinks his name is Alesha and is a girl. Tubbo assumes this home will be like all of the others, but he soon realizes that this may not be the case. ~~~ TW// Cussing Foster system Kidnapping Death Family death Trauma Bullying Crying Transphobia Deadnaming Misgendering etc... ~~~ Started: February 8, 2023 Finished: February 19, 2023

Caught Under The Stairs [gxg] by kaymacy101

STORY IS BEING REVAMPED, CHAPTERS WILL BE REPOSTED SOON In Brookstone High, the Highschool of a small remote city, hatred and violence is a common occurrence among students, especially those in a minority- lgbt teenagers, who are forced to hide among the shadows to protect their lives. There are only a few places where they could express themselves, yet they usually don't, as the lingering fear of the consequences and potential isolation terrifies them. There's a saying in many languages that goes somewhat along these lines- strength is in unity. However, none of these students know of each other. They think they're alone, lost in the darkness of the void. That is, until something happens. A butterfly effect, you could call it that. Myla comes across something she shouldn't have seen, and as time passes, this event slowly changes everything. ._,_[#|>_!!__%==• Behind closed doors, there's much more depths then you'd image. Fear and wraith isn't something that comes from the surface, it's deep rooted. It eats you alive, becoming unbearable to handle. Even when everything seems right on the surface, it's truly not. And it might never be. TW ⚠️ this story contains violence, violent language, homophobia, abuse, SA topics (no scenes), and is possibly a bit cringey. This is a gxg focused story, but there are other couples/sexualities presented, which is why the tags are there

She Bleeds for Us: The Galactic Consortium 3 by RJEliason

For Gabriel Holloway, a poor kid from the ghettoes of Freetown, Sierre Leone, not much has changed since the arrival of the Consortium. That is until a new protest movement sweeps the country. The Consortium could do so much more for the poor and oppressed, if their own corrupt leaders would only stand aside and let them. But they won't. So they must be pushed aside, at whatever cost. Jake, an American boy, continues his job delivering supplies for the Consortium in North Africa. But it's a region increasingly torn apart by civil unrest and revolution. The poor want more help from the consortium. Local warlords and corrupt politicians want to keep their power. Jake has never experienced anything like it, being in the middle of a huge social upheaval. He has no clue what is going to happen, but he knows where he belongs, in the middle of it all.

Moonbound Protection (BXB) by TysonIsGay

I started writing this when I was 14, I'm now an adult. I tried to revise it, but... ehh. Decided to say "fuck it" and post it anyways. Have fun. Even I can't stand to read it, but other 14 yr olds that read what I used to read will probably like it. "You know I'll protect, love, and cherish you. No one can hurt you anymore, you're safe with me." He holds my bruised shoulders and body in his arms. Sparks flow through me when he pressed his lips to mine, and I sink in wanting more. For once, I trust every word from someone's mouth. I feel safe, I'm safe, finally safe. --------------------------- Zane Williams, a 21-year-old alpha, who had just found his mate. There's one problem. The boy was a 17-year-old human... who was also hiding something in his personal life. Zane knew his mate was in danger and needed to do something, but how could he without causing more problems? Seth Grey is a 17-year-old human boy, who's been abused for the past 5 years by his father. The boy has transferred schools, where he meets a strange man on his first day. He quickly grows attached to the man, without knowing why. And it all started with a simple question.................... "You need a light?" Dont worry, it's not a M-Preg

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.

ROTWOTA: Book 3 - Resistance, Rebellion, and Revenge by BenGamer2496

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!
