With his 2 cats, he's living a pretty average life. He got his best friend, a fun group of friends around, a social status thanks to being on the soccer team, and a nice new job at a café, earning his first own bucks of money. Basically, his life so far meant nothing but safety.
Phoenix Rivera is 16 years old, being born and raised in the neighborhood of Ravenwood, a dangerous one of the biggest city nearby. Gangs, drugs, poverty, sex, criminals are what rules Ravenwood. Police? Never heard of it. Phoenix grew up there with his mom and his older brother Kieran. And it may be a broken life they live, but at least the three of them are family. At least they get to live. That is until Kieran loses even that right, leaving Phoenix and his mother heartbroken. His mother, who was so hard-working and always there for her kids, can't deal with the loss of her older son, turning to drugs and loosing work. Phoenix eventually gets taken in by the foster care system, being put through it, before landing with a gay couple in a quiet town called Jefferson Hills.
When Phoenix needs to go back to school now, what will happen to him? Will he meet friends or enemies, or even lovers? Will Tilo like him, despise him, love him?

Terrible Things (Boyxboy)
((Written in 2013!!!! Read at your own risk!!)) Adrian's life is pretty complicated, as you can imagine. His parents expect nothing but the best out of him, and if not received, they beat him. His social anxiety makes school a living hell. One day, a new kid shows up. He's from the UK and his name is Jamie. Jamie seems different than anyone Adrian has ever met. He confuses the kid. Jamie knows there is something that Adrian is hiding. And something he's hiding himself. Jamie is actually gay. It's the reason he's moved so much, because none of his other schools are willing to accept it.Could things change when Jamie realizes he's falling for Adrian? And worse, kids in the town are being kidnapped by a strange van. What will Adrian do once Jamie is one of those kids? ~Yes, this is boyxboy. It's my way of saying that being gay is freaking awesome and I think there should be more romance stories with gay relationships, not just straight ones. So, don't like? Don't read and don't waste my time with homophobic crap.Thanks. Also, comments are wonderful!~Complete

But Phoenix will soon find out there is more to himself, the captain, and this story, than it seems. - - - This is the first draft of my novel, which took about a year to write. As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)Complete

Here we go again
Cover art is drawn by me so I can take credit for that lol. Practically me and my friends role play a lot and these particular shit heads happen to exist in the Harry Potter universe. Now. Not that I don't love that, but this au gives me an opportunity to write about me and my friends OC's with less trauma. (Yes that means changing the backstories sorry) Because we seem to be addicted to traumatizing our OC's. Basically this is what would happen if our beans went to a normal school in the middle of somewhere using the Canadian schooling system cause I am uneducated on all the other schooling systems. I will be using some British terms and some American terms. It's just going to be an entire mess, but we'll have fun! POV from: Nicola is a closeted lesbian brought up that she cannot show any weakness and that she has to be 'perfect'. Perfect in the eyes of her parents anyways. Noah is a closeted gay who has been pressured by his parents to just act 'normal.' Being autistic and having social anxiety makes that difficult. Brad is your average popular guy. Captain of the football team (soccer) and pretty much every sport in existence. Death after death in his family has forced him into drug addiction. But he's fine. Right? Dahlia is your stunning no problem partying alcoholic friend. Keeping her past under wraps is kinda her job. That and making sure her brother doesn't get arrested. Matthew may as well not know what the law is because I'm pretty sure he's broken at least half of the rules in there. Narrowly escaping Juvie several hundred times is the best he can do from his sister Dahlia murdering him. Side characters: Alice is a girl who has to be best at everything. She's the smartest girl in her year, but under the pressure of her family she snaps. Mason is kind of the school oddball. He isn't that smart and he's pretty nosy and weird. He's the kind of that is mainly described as a downright idiot. But he's okay when you get to know him.Complete
