At The Landing; a shelter tucked between a dying town and empty farmland, three boys try to outrun the things that broke them. Jay carries a secret too heavy to speak. Eli draws ghosts. Milo watches everything, afraid he'll be next to disappear.

They screw up. They fight. But they don't walk away. In a world that gave up on them, they become each other's reason to stay.

This isn't a feel-good story. It's about surviving when no one's coming to save you. And figuring out, somehow, what's still worth holding on to.All Rights Reserved

Clay Hearts by yashagrawal5522

"Some things crack under pressure. Others bloom." In a quiet town where pottery dust clings to the air and secrets settle deeper than clay, two teenage boys find themselves drawn together by something fragile, something real. Peter, an introspective artist who speaks through his sketchbook, has always known the weight of silence and the safety of hiding. Victor, the star rugby player with a sharp smile and aching soul, has spent years running from the truth buried in his chest. When their worlds collide in the school's art studio, what begins as an awkward friendship becomes something neither of them is ready for - or willing to give up. But love, like clay, must be shaped with care. And when pressure mounts - from teammates, from family, from fear itself - both boys must decide what kind of men they want to be. Will they shatter under expectation? Or will they find the courage to bloom - together?

Maya never meant to fall for Elijah Carter. He was her best friend's older brother, the school's star player, and the last person she should've gotten close to. But one afternoon, in a quiet house and an open door, she discovers the secret he's kept hidden from everyone: beneath the jersey and fame, and she's the first person to truly see him. What starts as a fragile secret turns into something more. But when love grows in the shadows, it's only a matter of time before it's brought to light. In a world of expectations, whispered promises, and complicated friendships, Maya must choose between staying quiet and standing up for the love she never saw coming. Because falling for Elijah was never part of the plan. But neither was being seen-completely-for the very first time.

Fight For Me ✔ by Terah0602

You have no idea how much I need boring. Two years after the murder of her parents Caia is finally ready to start anew. New name, new town, new school. Desperately wanting normalcy and longing to put down roots again, she's determined to stay on the straight and narrow and avoid anything or anyone who poses a threat to her new life. And that includes steering clear of Liam 'Beast' Paine. The hot-tempered, adrenalin seeking mountain of muscles is precisely the kind of person she wants to avoid. Should be simple enough. And it would be if only she could keep a clear head when he kisses her. Run my little Bambi. The beast is on the hunt. Born with a will of steel and a silver spoon in his mouth Liam Paine is used to getting what he wants, so when he sets his sight on the shy and jumpy Caia he does what he always does: go after her with a single-minded determination and about as much finesse as a bull in a china shop. However, it soon becomes clear that the unassuming girl, who looks at him like a deer caught in headlights, has demons that need fighting. And if there's something Liam does well, it's fight. I'm ready to fight for you. But the past doesn't always stay where we want it and Caia's is always lurking just around the corner. Ready for the next round. **WARNING: This will contain mature scenes and language! There'll be sexual scenes, cursing, and droppings of the f-bomb.

Somewhere Between Then and Now by Dared2

Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.

two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]

Slow It Down by WriteOnMyFreeTime

"You may be his world, but you're the only thing that ever felt like home to me." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Some people never get second chances. Lilah never thought she'd get one with her brother's best friend. She's quiet, kind, and inexperienced in love. He's tattoos, a bad reputation, and a trail of girls who never stay. They were once inseparable-until Jackson walked away without a word. Now, four years later, they're forced back together as reluctant project partners. The boy who once protected her has become cold, distant, and impossible to read. If he hates her, Lilah's determined to hate him right back. But the more secrets unravel, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth: the line between love and hate is paper-thin. And Jackson is still carrying the one secret that could destroy everything-especially her heart. AWARDS: #1 (out of 45.8k!) for #angstwithhappyending #1 (out of 1.62k) for #badboynextdoor

Revolution- Runaways 3 [EDITING] by _silverlining_98

The whole camp was filling with smoke. I coughed, praying that my lungs would keep working for just a few more minutes. "Eli, which way is west?" Adam's breathing was just as labored from physical exertion, smoke, and panic as mine was. I didn't even process the question. I didn't know. We couldn't see anything through the smoke because the fire was spreading so quickly, and I just realized I'd forgotten my walkie-talkie. "Don't know!" I answered. Adrenaline was the only thing that kept my feet going. I knew we'd come in the East Gate, and if the cells were in the center, then if we kept going straight, we were going to find the gate any second. "Keep straight!" I instructed. I saw his head bob slightly, acknowledging my delayed direction. Then Adam cried out beside me, and I stopped short. I reached for his body involuntarily as he pitched forward, nearly causing him to take me down with him. My left hand was soaking wet from where it had landed on his shoulder. I winced as I tried to steady him, not daring to look at what I knew would be a pool of blood in my hand. ☁ Now that they have a new ally on their side, they're looking to change the United States for good. At some point, they want every camp freed and every teenager home safe. But each new camp brings an endless supply of new challenges. Things are beginning to spin out of control. Follow each of them as they discover who they are, who they love, and more of their country's secrets than they could ever dream of in a thrilling trilogy told from all five points of view.
