'I have been silent too long. Eighteen years. Eighteen years, I have ignored this, suppressed this, danced around these feelings. I must speak. Who knows whether another opportunity will come?

'Dare I say what I really feel? Have I come all this way, lived all these years filled with hopeless yearning for a satisfaction I thought would forever elude me, just to balk now, with a confession on the tip of my tongue?'
_

An imaginative take on an omitted scene from Light Bringer that goes... an unexpected way.

Hiding From Granger by DeaDeaBumbleBee

I quickly shake my head, which he raises an eye brow to but doesn't question. He straightens up, never removing his gaze from me before stepping closer, forcing me to step back. He takes another and again, I step away. Seth keeps approaching me, his steps worth 3 of mine, quickly finding myself pressed against a wall, Seth's body inches away from mine, arms resting against the wall on either side of my head. He leans forward and I feel his breath spreading over my neck. "You know, Little cub, I really don't take well to lies." he whispers lingering there for a few moments before straightening up. "Breaks over, Panda cub" he announces, turning to walk away as the bell rings around us. *************************** Willow can't remember a time when life was simple, or even nice. Concealing secret after secret on a daily basis, her only goal is to finish school to get away from it all. Then her life is thrown into disarray, things turning for the worse at every turn. Hope comes to Willow in a strange form. The large looming form of Seth Granger, who at first appears to be offensive, obnoxious and plain old annoying and in her way. Can he really figure out the mystery that Willow presents herself to be before something more daunting happens? *************************** Cover Image Is Copyrighted to EchoWolfCub Photography

Coffee & Nerves (boyxboy) by wonderingwhyy

NEW VERSION IS PUBLISHED "He squints his eyes at me with an intense glare that makes me squirm. I don't know if it's the intense pain in my shoulder or his stare, but something sends a shiver down my spine. I have now extended to my full height and look up to realize this guy is towering over me, not looking too happy. I become aware of our close proximity and take a step back, averting my eyes from his intense gaze. I clear my throat and fumble with the edge of my apron, looking down as I say, 'Sorry 'bout that.' I hear no response. I wait a moment, then I look up and he's gone." Spencer Hastings knows one thing for sure: he hates Jack Summers. Everything about him. He hates his rude manners, his intense stare, his restless movements. But he just can't lay a finger on why Jack Summers unnerves him so much. Until now.

Plan Of Seduction by bl_principito

"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it. Highest Rankings (that I'm aware of): LGBT+: #3 , College Romance: #2 , Gay: #19 / GayPride: #2, Gay boyxboy #1

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?

Essence of Purity [boyxboy] by FKNichols17

Book 1 of Rewritten: The Inamorate Saga. The great reveal had been beneficial for some. Elves, particularly, with their beauty and grace and quiet manipulation of the world around them. They thrived in the light, able to infiltrate human structure with ease, carving out a place for their kind at the most crucial of times. Their leaders set down territory lines, segregating cities and even states for themselves, for the growth of their people. They flourished, building their empire on the backs of those withered beneath. Fae, however, didn't find such a foothold. They remained in the darkness, hidden away in the tangles of forest untouched by humans, trapped within their clans. The dark ages reigned through those woodlands, void of modern technology and any shade of defiance. Monarchs ruled, surrounded by warriors, enforcing their law upon the common people. Outside, there was talk of abuse, of forced subjugation, whispers from those fae that had made it, that had escaped. Salem had chosen to remain silent. Five years had passed, not a soul knew of the clan he had fled. He had a family, three brothers who had taken him in, who had chosen to house him rather than barter money for the purity he still held. There was a normality to the world, to the life that Salem had forged. There was no reason for change, nothing to draw him back into that inky abyss he had clawed out of. Nothing but a tree flowering ivory petals housed in the estate of one of the most influential elves in their city...

My Eros Angel by DaisyGirl689

"Eros!" He stares at my hand on him, his eyebrows furrowing as he moves away from my touch. "Sorry?" he says blankly. I search his face, the wide smile on my own slowly fading as realization takes hold. The look in his eyes now is nothing like I saw two minutes ago as he conversed and laughed with the human boy. Now, his eyes are cold and lifeless as he stares at me. "You have no idea who I am, do you?" ~~~~~~~ Cassian and Eros have loved each other for thousands of lifetimes. Cast out from heaven during a second rebellion, this was their punishment. Cassian promised he would find Eros, and that is what he has done for centuries. What happens when Cassian finds Eros in this life, only to realize he has no idea who Cassian is? While Cassian navigates new terrain with his centuries-old lover, a war wages around them. A war that will pull the couple in and threaten to tear them apart for good. Can they find their love again and hold onto each other for a little bit longer? Will Eros learn of his true identity and that of his angel lover? // LONGLISTED IN THE OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2022 // Mature rating is for depictions of violence and references to blood (only in two chapters).

Ice and Fire by VesperPharsalius

'I may be ice: of such frigidity that frost is my aptest crown, flaunted testament to the frailties of my flesh, at aphelion of the warmth that has ever tantalized but never thawed me. Yet I'm also summer, the mesmerizing menace masked by mirth, bearer of delectation to the disciples basking in my luminescence, although I'm damned myself to the dearth and despair that only a half-denizen of the Void can know. 'He may be fire: of such fervor that he's subjugated to the furious tempest raging within, mercilessly as surf ravages scar, scalding to the touch at zenith of his zeal, demanding immolation on a protean pyre; for whom does he burn tonight? Yet he's also winter, winsome woe, scourge to the sublime and dread of the decadent, although all he craves in these worlds is return to the halcyon he's due. 'We are both creatures of contradictions. It's why we understand one another. But it's not lost on me that ice and fire cannot mingle, that summer and winter never meet anywhere but the Ice. We tried for temperance. 'We failed.' _ What if Darrow and Cassius became lovers at the Institute? A reimagining of Red Rising, told from Cassius' perspective.

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?) by wonderland_batgirl

Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. *Was on hold for a few months (May-August 2024) during my graduation and moving but new posts weekly starting Monday, Sep. 30!!
