foundfamily gen3contest2024 healing queer shortstory transgender trauma

When Cassian gets kicked out of his house for being transgender, he's kind of lost. Scratch that, definitely lost, and definitely struggling. His only living family member is his mother's distant cousin, who Cassian doesn't know much about. He knows the man was shunned from the family for being gay, and that he has a tattoo shop in town. But that's enough to get Cassian to go to him for help. Which ends up kind of being the best choice he's ever made, and kind of saves his life.

Where There is Desire by 23bthornton1

There is a boy, his friends, his villain, and his other villain: himself. Josh planned to make that year the best ever. He'd just gotten better, had new friends, left his bullies behind. But he didn't expect Ronan.

your heart is a hurricane by splendidlyximperfect

Sting's entire life changed when he was eleven years old and his best friend Rogue told a secret that he'd promised to keep. Taken away from the father who abused him and the best friend who'd tried to save him, Sting tried to start a new life with his uncle. But the trauma wasn't easy to escape, and eventually Sting turned to drinking to forget the things that hurt. Now he's an adult, and he hasn't been sober in years. But when drinking nearly kills him and a near-stranger saves his life, Sting has a chance to turn his life around, and maybe become the man that Rogue deserves to love. Note: This is a companion piece to "how to become a wildfire" and it also deals with the topic of abuse. However, this work is focused more on the aftermath of being abused as a child, and features a lot of bad coping skills, including alcoholism. Written for Nonbinary Month 2019 CW for child abuse, PTSD, alcoholism, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Trigger warnings will be posted on individual chapters if necessary.

Rock Bottom (BL) by ilovegaydinosaurs

ORION GRAVES has always been on top. A straight-A, high honors student. Top of his class on the path to valedictorian and an Ivy League school. Until suddenly, that all changes. Orion was outed as transgender at his old school, and became victim to relentless harassment. Not to mention that in June of his junior year, his mother lost her battle with cancer. Now, he must move in with his father-whom he hasn't seen since his parent's divorce when he was 8. Moving all the way from Red, California to Lakeview, Maine, he has to start from the very beginning. But, as he starts his senior year in a brand-new school he tries to keep his transgender identity under the radar, and he's quick to learn that it's not going to be easy to get back on top. Because there's Caleb. CALEB MITCHELL, the star child of Lakeview. Honored for being so well-rounded he probably shouldn't get too close to a hill. Not only that, but he's nice. And funny. And surprisingly good-looking. To Orion, he's impossible to dislike, despite him taking the place of valedictorian. Orion was only ever good for his brains. He's never had anything else. Yet now he's scared that he'll have to lose that too. ---------- Chapter 15 Release: Tuesday, January 14, 2025 Chapter 16 Release: Friday, January 17, 2025 Chapter 17 Release: Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Cover and story by me, @ilovegaydinosaurs / @coolsaige Official Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2XONF7xeRhcFwDBWpbxmsB?si=7s4Whhq-RlewQIiya3UwQw
