Aalix Drake pulled me unconscious from a river on the worst night of my life. The first thing I noticed that night, even before the pain from my recent injuries, was the torment in the depths of his haunting blue eyes. For the first time in my life, I came face-to-face with someone whose past traumas rivaled my own.

I couldn't have known then that the darkness in our pasts overlapped or how seemingly insurmountable the overlap would reveal itself to be.

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy] by FKNichols17
55 parts Complete Mature
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

Theron Being an almost eighteen year old dad is hard. Responsibilities are piled sky high and the odds of me being a good dad like mine was to me is quite bleak. But the smile on my baby's face makes me think I'm doing alright. But along came Bobby Ray Jones, who built me up and broke me down. Losing my parents and my sister in one fell swoop didn't break me like he did. *** Bobby Ray What is it about that boy that makes me crazy? I don't know but man I want to find out. He's just... everything I can't have. This thing inside me that craves him will mess up all my hard work. I don't want to be gay. I don't want to be judged and ridiculed all my life. I don't want my family to shun me, disown me. But I want Theron, even if it's only in secret. *** Blaise Why does everyone I care about leave me? My mom, dad, my best friend and now, now it's the boy I fell in love with. Loneliness is my new normal and the expectation of my mom's death. Why can't my dad love me the way I am? The person I am? So what if I'm a flamboyant gay teen? I'm still his son right? I'm still me, just a more colorful me and all I want to do is fly free. ******* Smitty Ray Blaise, the prettiest boy I've ever seen. Maybe I should have just left him alone but when he says he loves me, I don't know... I feel like I'm Superman and the way he looks at me makes my insides melt. I never meant to hurt him; I just wanted to see what it would be like to have him, be with him and soak up all that sweetness that seems to come off him in waves. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I hope you all enjoy this book too and it is my entry to The Wattys 2016.
