Lola Miller works for The People Agenda, a non-profit dedicated to bettering the lives of everyone by working to unite the straight and LGBTQ plus communities, and she just got a big assignment to find a compelling story to turn into a series or movie. Lucky for her, the biggest story of the year falls right into her lap when her favorite band's lead singer, the world-famous Chris Ellington, is seen kissing another man in a hotel room in Spain. 

The road to landing this story for a greater cause is a bumpy one, and she feels the aftershocks of her quick decisions for months. While she works tirelessly to produce something the entire LGBTQ plus community can be proud of, she is faced with the need to confront her spiraling mental health and coping mechanisms head-on, or potentially miss out on her own budding love story.

🚨⚠️SENSITIVE THEMES INCLUDE: alcohol, sex (non-explicit talk and 2 explicit scenes), religion, grief, mental health disorders and suicidal thoughts, infidelity

[bxb] Luke had always suspected that he was gay. There's a very big difference, however, between thinking you 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 be gay, and having a pretty boy naked and underneath you in the backseat of his car. *+*❅*+* Lucas Donovan had always kept his life on a tight leash. Between high school, hockey, and helping take care of his family, there was scarcely room for romance-not that Luke minded. Girls seemed too complicated, too messy, and too damn stressful when they came with any intention beyond quick, drunk sex. The "spark" was all fairytale bullshit, anyways... or so Luke believed. It was funny, really. All it took to change Luke's mind was getting laid in the backseat of the car of a boy with big, blue eyes shrouded in an even bigger mystery. *+*❅*+* Rankings: #1 friendswithbenefits #2 skating #4 boyxboy #8 bisexual #9 ice #22 gay *+*❅*+* Cover Photo: Kelli Clintock Cover Design: tragicvenus

A different kind of love story. Two main characters, two point of views. IRL problems with sexuality and religion leave innocent catholic girl, Cassidy on a wild ride. When she bumps into Lainey, the outgoing player mourning her last love, she fights her own straight conscious. Back and forth these two will go, not to the death, but just about. They don't hit it off, but watch the turn of extreme traumatic events bring them closer together in this wild ride of life. Guaranteed page turning fun till the very end. •Entered Wattys2020🤩 •Entered Wattys2021🤩 I can already hear the "that's bi-phobic" comments as a beginning bisexual in 2012. This was real life... this was my religious bisexual life experience. And I take pride in what I wrote here. Of fucking course religious bisexuals go "back and forth" in a homophobic era. You won't have to teach me wrong from right. I'm just sharing one experience to relate to other's similar experiences. We will not be silenced. 🏳️‍🌈❤️‍🔥

There are moments in life that you work so hard for, things your younger self couldn't even imagine you doing... and when those moments arrive, what do you do with them? After joining the Victim Services Branch of the FBI in Quantico, it's been a dream to interact with the BAU and assist a case of theirs. Your lifestyle of late nights and overworking yourself keep you single despite this loneliness you refuse to acknowledge. But when you're constantly reminded of how quickly life can shatter around your feet, leaving you bare and bleeding as you try to put the pieces back together as neatly as you can... only for life to never be the same again, you start to feel it a little more. When the call finally comes, your work pulls you into a case the BAU is tackling, and while it caught you a little off guard, you walk away from the case with something more. Spencer has never shown vulnerability until you came around, and then things changed. From innocent comments to passionate nights, your world shifts as your two souls collide into one. *Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: this story is a work of fiction building off of information gathered from the series Criminal Minds and my own experiences within social service work. This story will contain mature topics such as addiction, mental health, suicide (past tense), trauma, detailed intimacy (idk if I'm qualified to deem this smut, so you be the judge), intercourse, and other topics readers may feel uncomfortable with.

We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.
