"You've had people telling you what to do your entire life. I think you should finally do what you've always wanted by taking a chance for yourself. My arms are open. So, leap into them. And I'll hold your hand as we fall together."
~~~
Roman Indigo's life hasn't been on the upswing for quite some time. All of his friends abandoned him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and his mother threw him on the street after learning he dropped out of college. Having nowhere else to go, Roman is given a chance at a new life after moving in with his aunt, Mikayla.

Being with a family who follows different customs than he's used to forces Roman out of his comfort zone. He has no choice except to adapt; but...maybe that's not such a bad thing. 

Especially when he's introduced to a family-friend during a quick trip to a local grocery store.

A Path That's Right for Me by The_Musician

"I've had to second guess myself a lot over the years. I've had to put up walls. I've had to run away and push things down in order to keep others from hurting me. But...this, right now, is something I've never been more certain of." ~~~ Following another brutal fight with Rachel and Jensen's unexpected confession, Roman finds himself stuck at a fork in the road. Years worth of abuse and neglect have cultivated into a broken sense of worth, leaving him unsure of how long it'll take to move past his greatest hurdles. And when a familiar face from his past reappears to cause trouble, the future he was working toward feels out of reach. With the stakes being at their highest, with more than just his heart on the line, Roman has to decide what type of change he has to make next. He has to find the path that's right for him.

Arsonist's Lullaby (MxM) ✔ by sweetcaressesofmay

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind. Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy. Aspen isn't much help, not when he is holed up in his room, terrified of the power he holds. It's been said that you only realize the importance of someone when they're gone. Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him. They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship. As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.

For Worse or For Better- Book #6 in the WF Series by anyawritezzz

Marriage. Displayed to be the most perfect thing, but can have its faults at times. Roman and Alaiya seem to be learning more about that every day. They're learning to grow as people, not just together, but also by themselves. Yes, things get hard, but will Roman and Alaiya's love be strong enough to survive through those hardships? ***This is a sequel into Roman and Alaiya's relationship. I would not recommend reading this unless you have already read Worse for Better. ~~~~ "Thank you for the best birthday present." I give him a confused look. "But I didn't get you anything." Maybe he forgot that he put a rule against me buying him literally anything or else he would toss me to Canada. His words, not mine. "You buying me a private jet or some shit like that isn't the same thing as you giving me the chance to fall in love with you all over again every time we get moments like these." He makes direct eye contact when he says that, meaning he actually feels that way, meaning I'm about to start crying any second now.

For the love of books. by Hanarooooooo

Michael Lee never planned on starting a book club. He barely talks to people, prefers fictional characters over real ones and is perfectly happy with his cat and avoiding feelings. But one overbearing aunt and a lapse in judgment later, Mickey suddenly finds himself hosting monthly book club meetings. He expected awkward silences and polite debates. Instead, he got chaos, hot messes and the terrifying possibility of actually caring. And then there's Seth Valdés. College athlete. Unreasonably nice and way too pretty. Now sitting on Mickey's couch like it's the most normal thing in the world. What started as a "stupid little book club" turns out to be the beginning of some pretty chaotic friendships and maybe, just maybe, some silly little feelings that look a lot like love. ~ A queer romance that contains mature content.

Her stunning features and natural charm have made all the boys flock at her feet and all the other girls hate her. She's that girl who'll steal your date and make your boyfriend's eyes stray. But here's a secret - Jasmine is not the consummate flirt everyone believes her to be. All the guys she dates only see her as a challenge and not as girlfriend material.

Sebastian is the friendly guy-next-door (with six-pack abs!) who's just too good to be true. And for the first time in her life, Jasmine feels like she can be herself around someone. No games. No pretenses. As they spend more time together, Jasmine thinks that maybe, just maybe, she's starting to catch feelings for him. Can Jasmine let go of her player persona and finally open her heart?

His Little; My Kitten | Completed by Origin_of_Kelpie

Allison "Allie" Heart is twenty-five and has a really good relationship with her parents and friends. Though her body is a little different and she has some mental things to overcome, she's overall a happy little. Yes, Allie is a little. She's never found "the one" to be her daddy dominant. Well, that was until the night of a storm when she reunited with a childhood friend and meets someone who absolutely adores/cherishes her. However, there are more twists and turns than Allie expected to the relationship, although none were bad. But the guy she adores seems to be hiding something that tears him up inside (or used to before Allie came into his life). What's he hiding? And is it as terrible as it seemed to be, or is he just simply blaming himself needlessly? And when an old tormentor comes to town, can Allie overcome her past? __________________ WARNINGS: Straight romance (manxwoman) Intersexual female (male and female genitalia) 18+ Smut Daddy Dom/Little Girl (DDLG) Mommy Dom/Little Girl (MDLG) Caretaking Gay characters Childhood bully trauma Good warnings: Fluff and cuteness (lots) Good friendships and family Therapy __________________ This story will have gay characters in it, so if you don't like that, please don't read. This story also does NOT sexualize real littles as Allie will always be in her adult mind when anything naughty happens with her lover. This book also includes the sharing of taking care of Allie as a little, which is unconventional in DDLG/MDLG stories, but this is my story.

But everyone has something they didn't know about themselves, and Timothy does, too. [BoyxBoy] [COMPLETED aside for some extra chapters I still have to finish]
