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

Teaching The Bad Girl To Be Good (Lesbian Story) by Golden_RJ

"Is it a turn off?" She flashes a grin, revealing her perfect white teeth, inching her face closer to mine. Oh no, she's definitely flirting, and suddenly my palms are sweating. My heart pounds because I know I can't play her game. Not because I don't want to, but because-well, I'm not into girls. At least, I thought I wasn't. "I don't know. I can't really explain how other girls feel about it when you date them," I shrug awkwardly, trying to keep my cool. She chuckles softly, shaking her head, and the air between us thickens with tension. What's her game? "Forget other girls. How do *you* feel about it?" she presses, her voice low and teasing. I shift uncomfortably, squirming under her gaze. "If I were a lesbian, then no. No, it wouldn't be a turn-off," I stammer, feeling the nervousness creep up my spine. "You sure?" Her voice is honey, tempting. Meet Jay Alden, 23 years old and still figuring life-and love-out. She's always been straight... well, more like straight as a squiggly line. That is, until Ky Guery entered her life. Ky, a confident 22-year-old who's comfortable with her sexuality, flirts with ease and has Jay questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. Ky's carefree attitude and playful charm make Jay feel warm, giddy, and utterly confused all at once. One moment she's sure she's straight, the next she's drowning in Ky's kisses, wondering if maybe, just maybe, she's been wrong all along. But falling for Ky isn't just about self-discovery-it's about trust, too. Jay's been burned before by a smooth-talking ex-boyfriend, and Ky's playful ways sometimes remind her too much of that heartbreak. She's caught between the thrill of something new and the fear of getting hurt again. Does she dare open her heart, or will Ky's unpredictability push her away for good? Jay's journey is one of love, confusion, and self-acceptance as she navigates the messy middle ground between what she thought she knew and what she's starting to feel.

Blue Moon (gxg) by Miranda_Fray

Ellie, a shy and insecure 23-year-old, takes a pre-wedding trip with her fiancé and his friends, only to be left alone with Bella, the girlfriend of her fiancé's best friend. Bella is confident, bold and reckless, contrasting with Ellie's quiet nature. After sharing an unexpected, forced moment, what starts as an uneasy connection, quickly sparks intense emotions and a forbidden attraction they can't ignore. "I wish for once, people stop getting in the way between us. I know it's too much to ask, but can it happen?" "I don't know... I really don't know..." "I wish it was like that." "I wish that too. I'm longing for that." How could an emotion so strong, so overwhelming be wrong? After all, isn't that all we seek? A thrill, a look, a touch that makes us feel good, that makes us feel something...

Breaking the Ice by tragicvenus

[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

No More Wasting Time by Creative_Writer407

Diego Santiago was not your average teenager. He had a loving mother, a great best friend, a beautiful friend, an ex-boyfriend that gave him a traumatic experience, a soon-to-be stepbrother that helped along in that traumatic experience, a friend turned enemy, and finally, a messy slight crush. It's a handful. He was no longer a nobody but somebody with a bad name and a target on his head. He messed with the school's king, and he needed to face the consequences, or so they say and believe. Despite all these things that are making his life one big roller coaster, he still wants one thing in life, for his mother and friends to be happy. Caden Mitchell had a hectic life of his own as well. He was the enemy at first and is trying his best to become a true brother and a true lover. He knew he needed to change, but his old habits keep crawling back. He needed to learn and grow as a person, and for the sake of his mental health, he needed to change fast. Caden was on a mission, a mission to get back his soon-to-be stepbrother and his lover that meant more to him than he could express in words. He was growing desperate and was ready to do just about anything. Even if that meant leaving behind Victor, who he once saw was the closest thing to a brother he'd ever get.
