Nikalandra, an 18 year old human and American crocodile crossbreed, hasn't had the easiest past. Being abandoned only months after his birth, he grew up his whole life in a small orphanage. No one had ever given him a chance, no one ever wanted him... because he was crossbred. Holding many mixed human and crocodile like qualities, his appearance seems more frightening, or different from many others. Not only his appearance, but also the mutations that come with being crossbred. For Nikalandra, he was quite unfortunate, having many health and stress problems growing up because of this. Yet, his caretakers at the orphanage never let up, always helping, and always teaching him how to pursue and live a good life. Because of them, and the highly respectable headmaster at Hollowtree College, he has been given an opportunity. To attend college, but not just for better education. To get out in the world. To meet new people,  make new friends. To find... home, and what home means.

Bleeding Until Flowers Bloom by checkmate_uwu
5 parts Ongoing Mature
The world of, "Bleeding Until Flowers Bloom" takes place in New York, USA. All places, events, and characters have no relation, however, to reality. Any similarities between the book and the real world is purely coincidental, and has no further ulterior meanings behind it. All places mention in the book is fake, and all events mentioned is fiction. Florian Orion, a male, 18 year old poetry enthusiast is in his final year in Serendipity High School. He's been gay his whole life, but living in the judgmental urban city of New York City has forced him to keep his sexuality to himself. Azalea Qivanna, also a male besides having a more feminine name, is almost a duplicate of Florian. Same age, same interests, even the same secret sexuality. However, what sets him apart from Florian, is that he has a reputation to keep. Serendipity High School is a prestigious high school that revolves around reputation and titles. Few have entered through just intelligence, among the few is Florian. Graduating from Serendipity is a key factor in order to enroll for an even more prestigious university, Eden's Garden University. What's even more nail biting is that the university will only take 30 students out of the 4,000+ graduates of Serendipity. As Florian begins his journey through the final year of Serendipity, he slowly realizes that his lack of reputation will maim him in the journey of getting into the college. The students fight dirty with money, status, and everything else you can name. This isn't your ordinary love story, this is a story of betrayal, twists, and events that will make you unsure of everything you have read up until then is even true. TRIGGER WARNING: Homophobia, graphic descriptions, unconsensual "love", and some explicit scenes depending on what's your definition of them. To put it simply, this is NOT for the faint of heart. FYI: Please comment any critique or thoughts as it makes me feel validated and seen! Thanks for reading <3

A year prior, During Graham's first year of college word got out that he was gay, it quickly spread around campus due to Megan Fujikawa-Katz, a girl with a popular campus gossip blog getting a hold of the information, her best friend Nathan twisting the knife further by encouraging and participating in verbally harassing Graham relentlessly, never getting physical but not in a hurry to stop anyone from physically hurting Graham. But after a while, he slowly forgot about Graham, of course, he was in the back of his head, not for any weird reason but how anyone would think about someone they "Disliked." But to his surprise, after an entire year and about 3 months had passed since, Nathan on his way to work on an art project outside trips and stumbles over someone sitting on the dormitory stairs, thudding down the rest of the cement steps down to the bottom, his eyes blurred before finally focusing on the man standing over him, watching his long brown hair hanging in front of his face as he bent down to see if he was okay. An annoyed scowl slowly emerged on Nathan's face after realizing who it was.
