🏳️‍🌈ONC2023 Shortlister [A queer retelling of Romeo and Juliet set in modern day California.] 

Tate Parker and Alex Benitez are sworn enemies, but it's not a battle line they've drawn. As the sons of warring co-workers, the pair are destined to be at odds by association. With this comes inherited rumors and social stigmas that each is desperate to break. 

But when the opportunity arises, their newfound kinship threatens one's redemption by putting them in a situation where the rumor about them might become true. And for the other, he must choose which to sacrifice in the court of public opinion, his father or friend? 

Both come at the risk of driving their families to the brink of war.

The Tomboy and the Player | ✔ by pix3lwhore

Alex has had his eyes set on Stacey ever since they were in middle school. She did too. With neither of them knowing how to express their feelings to one another everything gets complicated. And when they finally began to become close..everything was ripped apart. * It had already started to rain and I just wanted to go home, not even home. I wanted to just get away from everything. I was drunk, I didn't know where Leslie was, and I knew she would kill me after all of this. I glared at Alex who was just standing there looking at me. I turned around and opened the door but he stopped me. Closing the door quickly, he slams me against it. I snarl at him, "What the fuck is your problem?!" I yell. "My problem is you and that little fucking boyfriend of yours" I roll my eyes and look away from him, "If you have a problem, just leave. You had no problem doing it before" I swear I heard a low growl before he grabbed my jaw. Turning my face so my eyes connected with his dark ones. "One thing you won't do is roll your eyes at me" When did he become so dominant? I glare at him, "I'm not with you, I can do what I want Alex" He raises an eyebrow at me, "Is that so?" In one quick movement I'm trapped between his arms. I feel his lips skim along my throat and I hold back a small moan. "You know..I really thought, for so long, it was best to stay away from you." I gulp as his hands ran down my sides and gripped both of my thighs, lifting it to the sides of his waist. He harshly bites my neck and a whimper escapes me. "Guess I was wrong" A moan escaped me when his mouth landed onto my mine. • A majority of the chapters are cringe af :/ so read at your own risk READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Finding Mr. Right by 1800SlapAHoe

Her whole life, Juliet has searched for someone she likes. In kindergarten, she'd simply write 'Secret Admirer'. As an adult, it's not that simple. Every guy she has ever been with has used her and left. While her friend tells her to get revenge on the male population, she is conflicted with her thoughts. She wants to be like in the movies - go for walks on the beach, go for romantic dinners, the whole cliché thing. A guy a little bit older than her comes along and they begin seeing each other. With her friends persuasion, she also sees another guy. They decide the older guys infatuation with her will be over quickly but they're wrong. When she's with one man, she runs into the other out in public. They know each other. This is when secrets are revealed. Who will she choose? Aside from the men she's seeing, she has other men to deal with. Her and her friend plot revenge pranks against each man that has ever used her. In the end, will Juliet get what she wants? Love. {The first 5 chapters are published on Wattpad as a preview. The story is 100% complete & published on another platform (more info in my bio).

VIXEN| ✔️ by xona2o18

Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?

Scarlet Shadows - A Dark Mafia Story [BL] by boredcat2025

Ricardo Garavani (age 18) - the only son and heir to a notorious mafia family - woke up handcuffed to the bed frame, naked from the waist up, with Alex Chiesa (age 21), the young leader of his family's rival gang, sitting next to him. As Alex played and tortured Ricardo, Ricardo didn't know that he was trapped in a grand machination, and what ruin was waiting for him; but neither did Alex know about the little secret in Ricardo's heart, which would turn out to be his Achilles heel. Sex is about power, and love can reshape power. But is their love strong enough to reshape the power structures that have shaped their own lives and souls? --- I didn't write this story alone. It was inspired by an AI chat game I played. It started out as a pure SM game, with the opening line "A hot captured son of a rival gang member is at your mercy..." But soon I was drawn into the inner workings of the characters and decided to add more plot. So, here we have this hate and love story of two tormented souls from opposite sides of the mafia rivalry, a story about feud and desire, love and betrayal, damnation and redemption, a much darker version of Romeo and Juliet. This is a very dark and intense story, with explicit content including non-con sex, sexual abuse, physical torture, public humiliation, gang bang, and mental torment. (Especially the first 13 chapters.) I'll put warnings at the beginning of each chapter if some content might cause discomfort.

Mafias Little Brother by ghostwriter19_

Weakness; the lack of strength either mentally or physically "This business isn't for the faint of heart Fratello." The Sanchez Family was many things but let me tell you that they were not weak. Weakness is frowned upon because of the reputation their father set during his time as boss. Things took a turn when the mother of the Sanchez boys was tragically killed in a treaty deal with their rivals gone wrong. Now with their father in jail the boys have to make do with what they have and take care of each other because they don't have anyone or anything else. Blake Sanchez is the youngest of the 4 Sanchez brothers. He is the trouble maker out of the Sanchez bunch. Many say he gets that from his father but he never likes to be associated with him in any way. He alone has gone through the most out of them and has to face the repercussions of his brothers actions every day. The boy is given a chance at true love with someone who understands him more than he thinks she does. Blake doesn't know how to love and show affection towards another human because he's never been taught or shown it. The Sanchez Family are the mob bosses of the Italian Mafia and have been butting heads with rivals along the way. Blakes list of problems seems never ending too many but he manages to deal with his anger issues that he can't control, living life with no parental guidance except for his older brothers. How will Blake react to the problems that are just ahead in this rollercoaster that he has to call life? Will his mentality crumble along with his reputation or will he overcome the obstacles that his families profession has put out for him? The Sanchez Brothers are known to be the most coldhearted killers in the mafia business alone but what really happens behind closed doors? Does living up to their reputation cloud their judgement from separating work and home life?
