Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

ALL THAT FOLLOWS - A Zombie Story
The end came quietly. Survival didn't. Seth walks alone now - through ruins and silence, through the bones of a world that forgot how to live. The dead outnumber the living, and the ones who've survived have learned to be colder than winter steel. But no matter how far he goes, memory follows. Of who he was, of everything he lost. Of the faces that haunt his sleep and the blood that never quite washed off. In a world that punishes kindness and buries the weak, Seth isn't searching for hope. He's just trying not to fall apart. But sometimes, the road doesn't care what you want. Sometimes, it gives you someone to protect - whether you're ready or not. Because even a broken man has one last fight left in him. ___ Note : All That Follows is a sequel to All That Remains. It carries echoes, secrets, and scars from what came before. While it can be read on its own, within these pages lie spoilers, fragments of a past some readers may wish to discover firsthand. Step forward as you will, but know the ghosts are watching.Complete
Playlist for the Apocalypse
In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. No one noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of monotony, but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse?Complete

Meanwhile, a global rebellion headed by covert agents and renegade victors works to bring the organization down and put a stop to the games for good.
