To have everything at your fingertips is no fun for Marco Perez.

A member and the keyboardist of the Philippine Band called 'The Firezone', Marco is someone who has everything but despises it. Growing up as the only child, he was spoiled and learned that he doesn't have to work for anything just to get it for himself. Life will just give the thing without any second thought. Perhaps this was the reason why he grew up the way he did: cold, short-tempered, stoic, unmoved, and more importantly, someone who doesn't value a thing because its worth wasn't seen by him.

Yet his co-member from the same band, Seb Johann Monterubio, the bassist, could endure Marco with no difficulties. Seb is mostly known as someone who's caring and sunshine-the Yang of Marco's Yin.

With this kind of relationship between the two, how would they deal with each other, especially when they unknowingly learned to know each other and Marco's sudden realization why Seb could tolerate him more than the others? Seb worked hard from the beginning: worked non-stop to pay for his school finances, supported his remaining family only by himself, bought his bass guitar, Mars, from working 24/7, and many things more Marco did not experience. With this type of experience that completely contradicts Marco's life, will he be able to learn to see how Seb means him so much to himself and to the world?

Even after everything he's done to Seb...

Even after everything that Marco did to push Seb out...

Even after everything that involves swallowing your pride, your anger, your control...

Would they end up in a better relationship with each other? When from the start, they are doomed not to be together because of being both male and being in the same band?

Seb and Marco are both negative poles-or as Marco always thought. Are their experiences enough to bring themselves the happy ending they really deserve?

Step Brothers by artsykid04
18 parts Complete Mature
Jace Summers is not your average high school boy, per se. He prefers being himself no matter what anyone else thinks about him, and he's proud of who he is. He has pastel pink hair, stunning deep brown eyes, and a sweet and silky voice that makes all of the girls swoon. Too bad he's gay though, and everyone knows it. Jace has been out to the world since seventh grade and he never got too much trouble from it, which he is thankful for, but he knows he would be okay even if he was bullied harshly. It's just who he is. Alec Walker is a whole other story, however. He is very basic, brown hair, hazel eyes, all-black attire, and he is well-known throughout the school but he doesn't consider himself to be one of the popular kids. He loves skateboarding and singing, has good grades. There's nothing overly unique about him- except his voice could make angels swoon. Both boys are different but not so different that you'd think they would dislike each other. Well, you would be wrong. They hate each other with burning passions. Sorry- hate is a strong word. They loathe each other with deep burning passions. Jace thinks Alec is a jackass know-it-all because that's how he comes off to a lot of people until you get to know him, and Alec thinks Jace is annoying with how he presents himself. Those seem like small things that could be easily overcome, however it's also their encounters in the halls or in classes that cause problems. By now it's just mutual hate that both boys are too stubborn to give up. But when one day they get news that seems like the end of the world... it turns out to be the best thing that has happened to both of them. Not at first, but with time. Read to find out what happens! (Also- it is a mystery to even me how long this story will be. I'll be posting chapters as I finish and we'll see how long it turns out to be. It could be my shortest with like four chapters, or my longest with thirty or more. You never know. I hope you enjoy it though!)
The Neighbor's Desire (21+) by valrhonas
9 parts Ongoing Mature
"Push me away." The velvety voice, honeyed to the extent it felt alcoholic, put me in a blur, "Before I take you, right here, out in the open. Take you, until your throat is sore from screaming my name. Until all you remember is me." He kissed my cheek, mingling his breath with mine, cocooning me in a calming labyrinth of him - him, the ultimate trap. I could barely think, much less push him away when his gentle touches were engulfing me in a torturous haze. I might as well have been on the edge of a cliff, on the verge of letting go. Of all the responsibilities, of all the obstacles. Everything about him was too sinfully attractive. I had to stay away. I had a fiancée, and being that close to him would've meant making the same mistake twice. Especially when he didn't even love me. "I love you, Jungkook." His hand slipped inside my tee, caressing my bare waist as his mouth found mine in a shivery brush. My hands on his chest pulled him close, despite not wanting to, letting the warm contrast against my cold, untouched skin wrap around me like a blanket, his deep voice a soother to the raging battles in my mind, "Let me take care of you." ⇑ Kth ⇓ Jjk
Stardom For Dummies by Mistalee_
14 parts Complete
Seventeen-year-old Winter Chu has seen it all. Shrivelling sleep schedules, diets, his picture perfect mentor's booger, a fat zero in maths. You name it, he has seen it. Or that's what he likes to believe. Exactly why Winter cannot fathom how he failed to see how he could go from walking shoulder to shoulder with his best friend - scratch that, his ex-best friend - on the busy streets of Seoul while playfully burlesquing their mentor to running away from said best friend in the span of a single day. Or, how on the same day, he ended up moving in with three other kids who were as confused as him in a dorm that was whipped out by the mentor he had just burlesqued. Fast forward two years and Winter has made countless decisions in the span of it, some good and some equally bad. Bad being: completely erasing Liu Xuejun, his ex-best friend and everything that had to do with him from his life. So when Xuejun, now a rising star, slips back into his messy life from the shadows of busking crowds and in old sauna rooms, Winter has no choice but to go with the slippery flow. Even when his own debut is right around the corner. Even when his heart beats the wrong way for Xuejun every single time. Even when he knows none of this is a good idea. Listen, dreams are tricky things. But you know what, so are friendships. - rankings - #36 nanowrimo 17.03.2022 #36 talkthepoc 17.03.2022

Brick has been out of the closet since he was a teen. Yet, for some reason, he only ever seems to attract closeted men. When he first joined the Rebel Souls Motorcycle Club, coming out was the first thing he did. He would never stay somewhere he wasn't accepted; he'd never hide himself. What he didn't expect to find hidden within the club, was the love of his life. Bubbles is one of the club's biggest players, hopping from soul sucker to soul sucker. His sexuality has always been straight.. so he thought. That all changes when he meets Brick. Bubbles spends the year that Brick is a prospect for the club pining after him secretly. He tries drowning himself in the club girls to forget the feelings he's having, but it doesn't work. Finally admitting their feelings to himself, and then to Brick, Bubbles still isn't ready to come out. Against his better judgment Brick begins a relationship with him, hiding it from everyone in the club. Months later, Bubbles is finally ready to come out, but Brick is at his breaking point. A stray bullet has Bubbles kissing Brick in front of the entire club. He doesn't care anymore. He almost lost the love of his life, he's tired of hiding. Until he runs scared. Just days after their heated kiss in front of the entire club, Bubbles requests nomad status from their club President. Once he's granted it, he disappears for months. The only thing Brick knows is that he's alive, and he only knows because Bubbles has to check in regularly with Prez. When Bubbles finally returns, three months later, everything has changed. Is it too late for Brick and Bubbles? Did Bubbles screw it up so badly that Brick will never forgive him?

Riley Steele, an omega soldier, is ready to do whatever it takes to get accepted into a special unit in the army full of alphas, and the people standing in his way are not shy to take advantage of that. With no choice but to accept the abuse, Riley's wish comes true, and he is finally allowed to join Tactical Team 07 with a promise his life will always be hell, and the people he should be most afraid of are not the domestic terrorists trying to bring back the good old ages when omegas had less rights than tablespoons. No... It's his allies he needs to be afraid of. But maybe this team, TT-07, is different. Maybe these alphas don't mind fighting with an omega. Maybe they don't see him as fair game, a toy to use. Maybe his new partner, a grumpy older alpha, Reid Bishop, doesn't actually hate his guts like it first seems. Maybe he has found his family in this team. Maybe they see him as their brother, as equal. But it is certain there are people who hate to see a strong, skilled omega in their precious elite alpha army, and will do whatever it takes to ruin him and break his spirit. ***** Trigger Warnings: Violence, Blood, Death, Non-consensual sex (non-graphic) Ream subscribers will get more goodies from early access to additional chapters, plenty of smut scenes, art, and even more!
