It's the start of Summer, and Jericho, a young boy who has just come from a battle with his inner demons, is faced with a new foe;

Enjoying his last Summer with his best friend, Wayne, after finding out that he's moving to another country at the end of the season.

Jericho, unable to find it in himself to tell his friend about the change of plans in their life, decides to make the most of what little time he has left by spending the most time with him and doing things that he'd never imagined they'd be able to, and just a bit more.

Discover a past unsaid, the mysteries behind every glance in a random direction, and delve into his relationship with The Stages.

"When something terrible happens to someone, everyone feels sorry for you at first, they take your hand and cry fake tears and say how 'special' you are, how strong you are. But after a while they forget...Then they don't see a person anymore they just see this terrible thing and think you're terrible because of it...It's like a little switch that goes off in people's heads: one minute everyone is your friend and they care oh-so much, then, when things die down, they become terrified of you. You'd be surprised to see what fear can make someone do." Justin Ivanov has never led much of a normal life, but when his sister passes away, his entire world falls apart. Trapped in an abusive relationship and in a school where everyone is scared of him, Justin continues to deteriorate, pinning all his hope on his confused best friend, Ben Fulton. He struggles to keep his family together without them finding out the hidden secret of his sexuality. But the more he fails, the closer he gets to losing himself forever. Ben Fulton doesn't understand what depression is. He doesn't understand why people have it or how to fix it. But when the sudden death of his best friend's sister leaves him feeling empty, he comes too close to comfort with just what depression can make someone do. Trying to sort out his own emotions, sexuality, and future out, Ben also has to balance trying to save Justin. But the more he tries, the more his feelings grow for his best friend, and the closer Justin gets to destroying himself.

When Jordan Cameron was ten years old, his mother stopped speaking and was never the same again, going from one institution to another and ultimately to a group home. While his father explores the world as a well-renowned geoscientist, Jordan's older brother, Tim, is forced to raise him. Tim, eleven years older than Jordan, never had a normal childhood, living with their schizophrenic mother. Jordan lives in his own world, or so that's what it seems to the average person. No one, not even his brother, has ever given him a chance. That is until Tim's best friend comes along. Jamie Perron has a history of bad relationships, alternating between men and women. This last time he is kicked out by his girlfriend and has nowhere to go so he turns to his best friend, Tim. Jamie only knew Jordan as a child, but never did he think he would develop an unusual relationship with Tim's weird, quiet, and sullen (although cute) nineteen old brother through the course of one exciting and interesting summer. Warning: This story contains gay sexually explicit content and language that may be offensive to some readers. ***PUBLISHED (available March 2, 2021)*** Revised, polished, and edited version with a NEW ENDING can be found on Amazon under the title, A Not So Typical Love. https://www.amazon.com/Not-So-Typical-Love-ebook/dp/B08T8RH87Z/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=tristen+rowen&qid=1614435146&sprefix=tristen+&sr=8-1

Terrible Things (Boyxboy)

17 parts Complete

((Written in 2013!!!! Read at your own risk!!)) Adrian's life is pretty complicated, as you can imagine. His parents expect nothing but the best out of him, and if not received, they beat him. His social anxiety makes school a living hell. One day, a new kid shows up. He's from the UK and his name is Jamie. Jamie seems different than anyone Adrian has ever met. He confuses the kid. Jamie knows there is something that Adrian is hiding. And something he's hiding himself. Jamie is actually gay. It's the reason he's moved so much, because none of his other schools are willing to accept it.Could things change when Jamie realizes he's falling for Adrian? And worse, kids in the town are being kidnapped by a strange van. What will Adrian do once Jamie is one of those kids? ~Yes, this is boyxboy. It's my way of saying that being gay is freaking awesome and I think there should be more romance stories with gay relationships, not just straight ones. So, don't like? Don't read and don't waste my time with homophobic crap.Thanks. Also, comments are wonderful!~
