RORY KAVANAGH
A year after my dad, Johnny Kavanagh, the world, renowned rugby player retired from his professional career, my parents uprooted our life and brought the whole family back to their childhood home in Balllylaggin, Ireland. At first, I saw resentment to this relocation, leaving behind all my friends in Dublin, but that's until the dark Princess came into my life, Gracie Gibson. I've met her when I was nothing but a awkward preteen and she was nothing but the shy girl hiding behind her mothers legs, but since then she has grown into the most fascinating women I have ever meet.
GRACIE GIBSON
I wanted out. Out of this school, this town, this country. I was an outcast in Tommen, with black and white hair and big combat boots. I rarely had friends besides, Rosie Biggs and my older brother Cory. I was destined for something greater than this life. London, Madrid, France, it was all calling my name. I thought I would never find happiness in Ballylaggin until I met him. Rory Kavanagh.

Trusting 10||boys of tommen
Anna Lynch was fucking petrified of men. Not just uncomfortable- terrified.She'd flinch if one of us so much as walked too close. She was always keeping herself pressed to walls, eyes darting for exits like she was planning an escape. And it wasn't just the loud ones or the gobshites. Even Johnny Kavanagh-her sisters boyfriend -made her recoil. That's when it really hit me. This wasn't nerves. This was trauma, stitched into every muscle in her body. The only lads she wasn't afraid of were her brothers-Joey and Darren. She stuck to them like her life depended on it, like they were the only two people in the world who'd never let her down. The rest of us? We were threats until proven otherwise #1-hughbiggs #1-chilhoodtrauma #1-mentalhealth #1-mutismComplete

But as it too often is, everything was too good to be true. Yes, her private school uniform is pristine but the bruises that lie underneath tell a different story. But she can hide it, she just has to get through this year, and then she can be free, but everything starts to unravel when she meets a boy. At age twelve, Tadhg was saved. He got out of that haunted house. He had adoptive parents that adored him, his siblings were happy, and he was finally safe. So why did he still feel this way? Why was he still on edge after all these years? He should be thriving like his brothers and his sister, and yet he wasn't. He was numb to it all, until he met her. She unraveled him.

Rory Kavanagh. The best rugby player Tommen has ever seen-well, besides his da, obviously. Johnny Kavanagh. The Johnny Kavanagh. Our parents are basically joint at the hip, best mates since they were kids. And naturally, me and Rory just... became mates too. That's the deal. That's what we said we'd be. Friends. Right? Friends. But like-come on. Have you seen him? His abs? That man has a six-pack like he's sculpted from marble. His hair? Brown and silky, like-like a shampoo ad or somethin'. And those eyes? The kind of blue that makes you forget your own name. I swear to God, I'm not even being dramatic. So yeah... maybe I've a teeny, tiny, miniscule crush on him. Can you blame me? No. No, you can't. I won't hear it. But I'm not saying a thing. No way. What if he just laughs? That'd kill me. So for now, I'll just pretend I don't stare at him for longer than is normal when he talks. For now, it's just friendship. Grand. ...But what if he does feel the same? *** Bethany Gibson. Jaysus. She's been my best friend since we were in playschool, like actually since nappies. She's pure chaos-loud, mad, always in trouble for something-but I wouldn't change a thing about her. Not one thing. She's class. Gorgeous too. Not just like "oh she's grand," no-proper gorgeous. Her blonde curls bounce when she laughs, and I swear it's like the sun's just following her around. Her eyes? Silver. Like not even grey-silver, like a flipping fairy or something. Every time she looks at me, I forget what I was saying. Which is not ideal when you're trying to seem normal, right? I've fancied her since I was about seven. Maybe six. But what am I supposed to do? Tell her? What if she just laughs and goes, "Ah you're gas," and then pats me on the head like I'm some lost puppy? I'd actually evaporate from shame. But then again... what if she does like me back? What if all this time I was too scared to see it?Complete

𝙊𝙋𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙄𝘼 𝙇𝙔𝙉𝘾𝙃'S fury was a storm that broke loose the second she saw her sister go down. Without a second thought, she mistook 𝙅𝙊𝙃𝙉𝙉𝙔 𝙆𝘼𝙑𝘼𝙉𝘼𝙂𝙃 for the culprit and decided he deserved a dose of his own medicine. Grabbing the rugby ball, she launched it back at him with a force that was all raw, righteous anger. Johnny saw her, and in that moment, the entire world outside of her seemed to fade away. He was a boy who lived and breathed the game, but her sheer intensity pulled his attention off the pitch. It wasn't her body he noticed first, but her eyes-the color of whiskey, sharp and defiant, framed by dark lashes that contrasted with the soft, rebellious pink in her hair. He noticed the way she swallowed hard, as if choking down words she couldn't dare to speak, and the way her jaw tightened before she unleashed a snarky remark at his best friend, Gibsie. He was captivated. But he knew, with a certainty that was both thrilling and terrifying, that girls like her came with a warning label. They were the ones who broke you and then laughed as you bled. Still, a dangerous instinct told him that to let her walk away would be a regret he'd carry forever. ♱ ᴏᴘʜᴇʟɪᴀ ʙʀɪᴅɢᴇᴛ ᴍᴜʀᴘʜʏ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴀ ʟᴏᴠᴇʟᴇꜱꜱ ᴀꜰꜰᴀɪʀ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴏɴᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ʜᴀꜱ ʙᴇᴇɴ ʙᴇᴀᴛᴇɴ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴀɴᴅ ɢᴜᴛᴛᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʜᴇʀ ᴏᴡɴ ꜰᴀᴍɪʟʏ. ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴏᴜɴɢ ɢɪʀʟ ᴡʜᴏ ʙᴇᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴅᴏɢ. ꜱʜᴇ ʙɪᴛᴇꜱ ᴅᴏᴡɴ! ꜱʜᴇ ᴇᴀᴛꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ! ʙᴜᴛ ꜱʜᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴄᴀʀᴇᴅ, ᴄʀʏɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘʀᴀʏɪɴɢ ꜰᴏʀ ᴀ ᴡᴀʏ ᴏᴜᴛ! ♱Complete

Calming 5 (Tadhg Lynch)
--- Just then the door he was heavily leaning on flew inward. "Ronan!" The girl exclaimed in horror as she dropped to her knees beside him. She was the same girl from English who caught my attention earlier, kneeling beside the Rugby Dick, her hands hovering over his broken nose with all the care in the world. Her long hair were sprawled across her shoulders in a way that I couldn't see her face... that was until she looked up at me- shit. --- Tadhg Lynch doesn't do quiet. He hits hard, plays harder, and runs from anything that feels like home. Saoirse McGarry has made 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 her world. Shy, diabetic, and always a shadow in her brother's world.

𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐁𝐇À𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐍 is used to blending in. She's the girl with ink on her fingers and headphones always around her neck, the quiet type who prefers comic books and coding to crowded parties. With divorced parents and a split life between two houses, she's learned to stay steady on her own. At Tommen, she's known more for her brains than her presence, until she's assigned to tutor 𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐊𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐇. Rory is everything Siobhán isn't. The golden boy. The all-smiles Kavanagh. Charming, popular, and seemingly untouchable, he carries the weight of expectation with a grin that fools everyone. Everyone except her. Beneath the grin, she sees the cracks, an anxious boy trying to hold it all together, desperate not to let anyone down. What starts as awkward tutoring sessions turns into something deeper: stolen laughs, late-night conversations, and an unexpected tether between two people who never thought they'd collide. But when rumours swirl and Rory's carefully built mask begins to crumble, Siobhán has to decide if she can step out of the shadows to stand beside him, or risk losing the boy who finally made her feel seen. ‿̩͙⊱༒︎༻♱༺༒︎⊰‿̩͙ This is a fanfiction based on the Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh.
