For what reason does one wake up every day? 

People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he would get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living -- something that was silly for others, but a salvation for him.

For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it.

At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better.

On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence died, Florence killed himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when a dead man's soul reawakened in someone else's body.

Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. 


Mature topics: deaths, including self-killing (actual scene not depicted), mental health and other social issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering. 

Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed.

Uncaging Bunny/LT Fanfiction by mimzy1124

Larry Sandoval was at his wit's end, miserable, unhappy, feeling like an animal trapped, living in a gilded cage, desperate to leave his troubled marriage when one night, quite by chance, after he finally gets the courage to leave his husband, he meets the man of his dreams in Laurent Bourgeois. Laurent is everything Larry's husband is not, and on the night they meet, he and Laurent connect in a way neither saw coming, shaking them both to their core. Initially, Laurent saw Larry and was captivated by him. He wanted him. But Larry was only supposed to be a one-night "encounter", just a means to scratch a sexual itch. Larry too was captivated the second he saw Laurent. But after their one-night encounter reluctantly ends, they say their goodbyes. Neither expected to see the other again. But fate had other plans, and with it a reunion just days later when they come face to face again, and in a most shocking way. To Laurent's surprise, Larry becomes an unexpected piece of a puzzle in his covert mission to uncover a corrupt UN Diplomat leading a clandestine double life. But for Larry, seeing Laurent again is a welcome answer to a prayer, his ticket to a life he'd only dreamed about. But will it be? Will Larry and Laurent get what they're both seeking? Will theirs be a happy...or tragic ending? Read ahead to find out, and follow their journey from start to finish. ❤️❤️ DISCLAIMER: Please be advised that, though tastefully done, this love story contains graphically depicted sex scenes and some profanity and therefore may not be suitable for readers under eighteen years of age, or those with an otherwise sensitive religious or spiritual nature who may be opposed to some aspects of this story.

Secrets and Things (MxM) by Trafina_

Meet Nerovsky (Nero) Poston. He started working at MegCorp, a multi-alotofmoney dollar company. All he wants: live a low-key, simple life. But he can't because one, he has too many secrets that mess with his personal life, including his secret double life as a "justice" vigilante. Secondly, he somehow managed to get deeply entangled with his boss and finds himself falling for him, a person he feels he doesn't deserve Meet Leonardo Covell. He is the owner of MegCorp and the owner of a lot of money. His life is relatively smooth sailing (eg. people constantly sucking up to him), which is an absolute bore. However, after a couple of unexpected meetings with a certain newbie, he finds himself wanting to unravel the mystery. Speaking of mystery, a certain midnight hero with a familiar aura has also caught his attention... - Meet Aiden Hendrix, Nero's best friend and partner in crime. He's a tech genius who's a decent-looking, playful social butterfly. But sometimes, it's all a mere facade to hide his own secrets and issues. However, after butting heads with a certain CEO, he finds his mask breaking and unintentionally revealing a side that he never wanted to shed light on for anyone. Meet Erwin Fonzo, best friend of Leo and CEO of Nic and Co. He's a pro at faking his emotion and does so in order to make interactions less troublesome. He's considered cold due to his refusal of keeping people closer than an arm's length, but after a blue-haired man argues his way into his life, his arm's length shortens slowly as he unravels more about the man, including seeing a side of his that no one was ever meant to see. - A stereotypical romantic trope. Story's based around two couples. VERY slow burn. - DISCLAIMER: A LOT of swearing, mentions of sexual harassment (not explicit), panic attacks, mature jokes? Therefore, 16+ only kiddos The beginning is a bit trash and slow but it gets better?

Shell Of A Man by ryanaureoholt

"I guess just spending time with some people fixes everything." Carrying the burdens of his past was Jason Smith. Numb. Emotionless. After all those years, what remained was just a shell of a human being. Dragging his life, one day at a time, because of the promises he made to his mother. Carrying the guilt of being the sole survivor of an accident was Raymond Holt. But, when life gave him a second chance to be alive, he accepted it with open arms. Burying the guilt deep inside, he lived his life to the fullest. He was quite the ray of sunshine. When the two guys first met at the NYU Law School, differences occurred, but eventually, they fell for each other. But, college love is young love, and it doesn't always withstand the hardships of life. Being oblivious to what they had found with each other broke their hearts, and they walked their separate ways. Years later, when they cross paths again, the circumstances are against them. Will they be able to overcome their differences? Will they be able to correct their mistakes and make up for the lost time? Most importantly, will they be able to move on from what transpired all those years ago? Read to find out. A/N: I don't know shit about the law. This is everything that I learned by watching Suits and How To Get Away With Murder. Correct me wherever needed. :)
