Wild Hearts by EffervescentElixir

Anxious. Alone. Afraid. Aiden Griffin never asked to be any of these things, but they define his existence, shaping every moment, ruining any chance for connections, and carving deeper into him with every passing day. His life is a quiet battle, one fought in solitude-lost in the woods, wandering through forgotten cemeteries, and navigating the decaying corners of an uncaring city. He's far from the world that's hurt him, but the words still haunt, sharp and unforgiving. Isolated by the cruelty of those around him, Aiden often feels like an outsider, his mind swirling with thoughts that others can't understand. His autism makes it harder to connect, leaving him drifting in the shadows, struggling to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and unkind. His parents are distant, and no one at school seems to notice that the golden boy everyone admires is the one person Aiden fears most. Then comes Ryder McCallum-charismatic, wild, and fearless. With a smile that could charm anyone and a penchant for adventure and bold risks, Ryder steps into Aiden's life like a whirlwind, challenging everything he's ever known. Ryder dares Aiden to step beyond the cage of his own fears, to be something more than the walls he's built around himself. But Aiden is wary, his heart too tethered to its darkness to trust the light Ryder brings. With every reckless adventure they embark on, Aiden starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he's meant for something more. As their friendship evolves into something more profound than either of them anticipated, Aiden finds himself drawn to Ryder, a boy as unpredictable as he is magnetic-a boy who slips away just as quickly as he arrives, leaving Aiden to question if he's chasing a dream. But no matter how elusive Ryder becomes, one thing remains undeniable: for the first time, Aiden feels alive with a love that makes him believe in something greater than himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to hold on.

Almost Honest by TheTerror814

"The last thing Laney wants is to be seen. Not really seen." After running from a past she refuses to talk about, Laney is just trying to keep her head down and survive senior year. New town, new school, new friends-none of them know the truth, and she plans to keep it that way. But secrets don't stay buried forever, especially when you have a best friend who won't stop pushing, a flirt who sees past your walls, and a past that refuses to let go. Between late-night skate park meetups, whispered fights, and a tension she doesn't know how to name, Laney realizes that sometimes, hiding hurts more than being seen. And Aiden? He's making it a lot harder to hide.

𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲. A virtue, they say. A promise. A bond stronger than blood. But what happens when loyalty is nothing more than a chain? When it suffocates instead of protects? 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐯 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫 knows the weight of it all too well. A man of power, of ruthless intelligence, with a name that commands respect. He built an empire-𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡-shaping the future with cold precision. Yet in his own home, behind towering walls of wealth and luxury, he is trapped in a marriage that is nothing but a well-crafted illusion. 𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫. His wife in name, a stranger in reality. A woman with a mind sharper than steel, but a heart locked behind unspoken words. She walks through the same halls, breathes the same air, but she is not his. Not in the way a wife should be. They exist like shadows in the same space-silent, distant, bound by something neither of them asked for. 𝐀 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝. 𝐀 𝐰𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞. But in a world where power is everything and deception runs deeper than blood, nothing stays buried forever. The walls they've built around themselves are cracking. The masks they wear are slipping. And beneath it all, something dark stirs. Secrets. Lies. Betrayals waiting to be uncovered. Because loyalty? 𝐋𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. And when it does... There's no telling who will survive.
