Carmy is desperate to save The Beef, by any means necessary. But despite that, he can't help but be hesitant when Jimmy comes to him with a proposition - Let his troubled, estranged English Goddaughter come and work for him. 

Every month Carmy can keep the woman there, the 300K debt Michael left him will be reduced. But that turns out to be difficult when he clashes with the headstrong mess who somehow simultaneously threatens the stability of The Beef, but in other ways fits right in.

My Stepmother by bitterbloom2

Abigail, 17, has always lived in the shadow of secrets. Ever since that night, the one no one talks about, her world has been silence, stares, and scars. Going back to school after a quiet summer, Abby tries to keep her head down - and fails. Worse: her father just remarried a woman she barely knows. Evelyn. 33. Elegant, mysterious, and cold as winter. With her perfect black hair, her chilling smile, and her sharp words when no one's around, Evelyn quickly turns their shared house into a prison Abby can't escape. Forced to live under the same roof while her father's away on business trips, the two women begin a quiet war - of glances, insults, tension, and something else they both refuse to name. Something dangerous. Something that hurts. And yet... something neither of them can ignore. What will happen when forced proximity turns into something far more dangerous than hate?

May I Kiss Your Scars? || BL by TiyaBat00

Trying to bear it quietly, Sam has always carried a lot of baggage. Yet he remains cluelessly reliant on a childhood friend who's always been there---in ways he isn't fully aware of. Because no matter how many oceans apart you are, some feelings refuse to fully fade. But there are scars that run deeper than skin, lingering where words cannot reach. A place that whispers a truth to him that will slowly become clear, as unspoken emotions unravel and nothing remains certain anymore. Love is dangerous when you don't know if it's real. And the real question is: will it heal them, or hurt them both? __________________________________________ This is a slowburn BL book. Also has some GL on the side.

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

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. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

To Heal the Enemy by mclovin53

~~~ "How do you go from hating one to loving them? Truth be told it seems impossible, but once it starts it cannot be stopped." ~~~ "Our job doesn't allow love, how can't you see that?" ~~~ Anala Gonzalez is anything but predictable.

That is until Alex Creed takes up all her thoughts. She takes a liking to him before completely hating him and wanting him dead. Alex Creed's life consists of two things; his family and his job. When Alex's boss asks him to keep watch on his biggest competitor, everything changes. She is bound to hate him but when Alex sees something he wants he does not stop until he's got it.

[aged up characters! They're in high school] Dib is growing up and he's beginning to realize many things- such as how chasing Zim is no longer something he wants to do.

City Lights, Field Heart by chanyavin

A wealthy family's only son, spoiled, stubborn, and hot-headed, finally pushes his parents past their limit. As punishment, they send him far away from the bustling city to the quiet countryside, forcing him to live on his own in a modest apartment. Furious and resentful, he protests, but the decision is final this exile is meant to teach him humility. At first, he carries his arrogance into the countryside, clashing with the slower pace of life and the people around him. One encounter in particular stands out: a person he immediately butts heads with, their personalities colliding like fire and oil. What begins as a rivalry slowly shifts into something unexpected. Through constant challenges and tense exchanges, this new acquaintance starts to reveal sides of him he never knew existed compassion, patience, and vulnerability. As the boy struggles between his old stubborn self and the new person emerging, he discovers that sometimes being forced away from comfort is the only way to truly find oneself.
