Theodore's asthma has developed into lung cancer. His body too fragile for any procedure, he passes.

But in the afterlife, he has a dream. A dream where he is given a second chance. A man surrounded by darkness gives him pity and another chance at living. . . but it comes with the burden of remembering how his other life ended.

After fourteen years, Thomas' mother takes him to New York City after a divorce to let them restart. He immediately finds a few friends, Ryan and Jayden, and they live happily for a few hot seconds. But when Thomas gets caught up in books and myths and crimes, he confesses to Ryan what he's been through. But Ryan doesn't thoroughly understand, and rumors spread around.

With only the help of one other friend, who seems to him to be more than a friend, Thomas finds himself in a twist of anguish and sadness--he feels there's only one thing he can do. And that decision, to be made or to not be made, will make a huge impact on him. Not only himself, but his dearest friend.

The Price We Pay #3 in Merciless Series by moonchildnessa

There are ways of dying that do not end with a funeral. Types of deaths you can't see, feel or smell. Because death, just like love, has a mind of its own and some things can't be prevented. What started as an innocent high school quest in search of truth and revenge quickly turned into something entirely else. Something that Aspen Cornwell never anticipated. Something that shatters her entire reality, leaving her without an idea what to do next. She has lost almost everything that mattered to her so losing herself doesn't really make that much of a difference to her. When Collin Adamms returns back with a new dose of truth about what really happened to Courtney Chapel, alongside with his new-found memory that he lost due to his temporary retrograde amnesia, he finds Aspen in a state he would have never imagined. She seems like an entirely different person and reminds him so much of himself. They are both stuck in a vicious cycle of lies, schemes and addictions and Collin's determined to finally make things right. He tries desperately to save Aspen from her own self-destruction because the price they all have been paying seems like too much and he's not willing to pay anymore. Definitely not for something someone else should be paying for. But saving someone else while also trying to save yourself from demons constantly shadowing your every move might be more difficult than he thought. And maybe they aren't done paying for all the lies just yet.

Monsieur Laurier by holysacrilege

"What is love in this temporal life, if not just a distraction from the pain that doesn't seem to end." After losing his best friend to an unexplained suicide, Mateu finds himself left to pick up the pieces with his best friend's younger brother, Ferran. Demure, distant and with a seemingly undying love for the memory of his brother, Ferran fascinates the abrasive Mateu who is relentless in his own search for answers. But uncovering the truth requires the uncomfortable task of facing it for what it is. Only a thin line separates devotion from obsession, dedication from delusion, and passion from mania. Mateu has to choose between coming to terms with the past or be swallowed by it whole. *** Editor's Choice August 2022 @wattpad

ORIGINAL:The Boy With A Touch Of Cancer(BxB) by Jeanne_Wolf

"Leo pinned me against the wall with his hips; his hands gently gripping my wrists, keeping my arms above my head against the cool brick behind me. His beautiful, hazy blue eyes -that had turned straight quicksilver, again- were filled with such an intense, carnal desire I couldn't even look into them, so I looked over his shoulder. I saw a small group of kids from the group standing out by their cars who would easily be able to see what we were doing...or at least what Leo was doing to me. At that moment, my mind started wandering to all the things that I could be doing to him right now...but I stopped that train of thought, immediately, as it started heading to all the wrong places... All the dirty places... All of those places involving a very hard part of my body... I glanced back at Leo; his gaze was still as intense as it was before (unfortunately). He smirked at me and said confidently, "You can't ignore me forever, Ethan. You're eventually gonna fall for my charms..." Ethan Carter was focused on 2 things. 1. School (obviously) and 2. Getting over ex (it's proving to be, harder than he thought), but now he has to add dying to that list, and suddenly having feelings for a boy (which has happened once before, but Ethan tries to forget it). Leo Malone makes Ethan feel things he's never felt for another guy. Leo's sweet, patient, and understanding, the only problem is, he's a guy. Ethan tries to ignore the fact that his heart flutters every time he sees Leo, or that he can't ever stop thinking about him; but if having cancer has taught him one thing, it's that, "You have to live in the present, as you may not have a future."
