Peter Crawford hates his life. That's putting it mildly. He finds no point in trying anymore, his life at an all time low. Whether it was his family passing away, or the constant fights with his somewhat enemy, something causes him to snap. To make decisions he'll regret for the rest of his life.
But when he realises his so called enemy and him actually have a lot in common, he finds himself feeling comfortable only around him.
Noah Porter, on the other hand, is completely satisfied with his life. He's the swim captain for the college team, he has a good social life, and he's succeeding in class. Yet, there's only one guy who can make Noah snap from his golden-boy attitude to someone who's not afraid to fight back.
When both guys form a friendship, Peter realises he might not be straight after all. Noah, already openly gay, is more than happy to help guide him.
But when all bad things combine in Peter's life, an explosive mess is shot out, breaking the bond between Peter and Noah.

Genophobia
Book 2 in the Phobia Series: Book 1 'Monophobia' is on my profile. Genophobia can be read without it, but a lot of inside jokes, characters and events might be confusing. ~~~ Dante meets Flynn on one of the worst nights of his life, and he wants to forget about it altogether. But he can't shake the guilt, and wants to apologize to Flynn-mistake one, because what he didn't remember about that night was that Flynn is unbelievably charming. When they meet up to do exactly that, apologize, he realizes he is making mistake two: feeling an incredibly strong pull towards this mesmerizing stranger. He knows he shouldn't, but he can't help but feel this way. There's various reason as to why he shouldn't, actually, to sum up a few; his parents, his expected focus on his studies, and, of course, the fact he's seen Flynn kiss more girls than he's made goals. And that's saying something. And, last but not least, there's his genophobia.

Snowbound
{COMPLETE BxB} Cole Parker Blane. He's known for being stuck up and short-tempered and an emotional wreck, and if you asked him he'd probably agree with you. But when certain circumstances land him Snowbound with his so-called "enemy" Leroy Katz, it leaves the two isolated from the outside world and forced to indulge in one of their own. One that includes a trip to the past and uncovers a lot of what led their relationship to this point, and possibly move it forward. ~ ~ ~ This is a story I wrote for a competition with the prompt. "Focus on one chapter of a much more complicated and longer story" so it's pretty short, but I really enjoyed trying a new writing style and it was actually quite good for my skills. I hope you all enjoy this story and love the characters. as much as I do.Complete

His twin once told him that he looks better in simple yet stylish outfits, and well, he followed that advice. But Sebastian, the so-called "nerd," has a secret. He's gay. And not just gay, he's been in love with one and only KYLLE WINSTON for a long time now. Everything changes when Sebastian is suddenly drugged and raped by his own best friend, MARK ANTHONY DESMOND. For most people, that would've been the end of a friendship, something unforgivable. But in Sebastian's case... he never reported it. He never even got angry. Crazy, right? As if destiny itself was toying with him, Sebastian keeps crossing paths with new people, including ARKIE LEWIS AUGUSTINE, a persistent stalker who eventually forces him to be his boyfriend. So, what will happen to Sebastian now?

Teammates With Benefits
[boyxboy] Cameron Patterson and Aaron Williams have hated each other for as long as either of them can remember. Because they play positions that counter each other, it was easy for them to hate each other. When one of them is playing well, the other is playing badly. On multiple occasions, their confrontations have become physical, some of them becoming full on fights. One night following a game, their hatred erupts in a way neither of them saw coming. WARNING: There is a massive amount of smut in this book. If you do not want to read smut, do not read this book, because there is a hell of a lot of smut. Chapters with smut will be labeled with an (M) on them, showing that they are mature. If you don't want to read smut, please just skip those chapters. IMPORTANT: The characters start out 18, but there are clear inconsistencies. I started writing this before the Wattpad Purge, and I didn't want to go through the entire story and change their age to 18. There will be a couple chapters near the end of the book where they both turn 18, and obviously that's just stupid. I just don't want to get banned, so I'm saying that these characters are already 18, but they also have their 18th birthdays near the end of the book. I'm just being lazy to be honest. It's not gonna affect the book that much, just ignore it when they say in the early chapters that they are already adults or already 18. That shit doesn't matter. The quality of my writing in this book is pretty mid by the way. I'm a teenage boy that listens to 21 Savage, I feel like expectations shouldn't be high. I don't have writing skills the way many other writers on this site do, so don't expect some Shakespeare type shit. The characters in this book are similar to each other too. It's easier I guess. #1 Sports 4/8/24 #1 Teen Love 6/24/24 #3 Friends With Benefits 3/31/24 #6 Football 3/27/24 #2 Jock 7/2/24 #6 Hate to Love 5/16/24 #4 Bisexual 6/10/24 #4 Pride 6/24/24 #3 Gay Love 6/27/24 #2 Teen Romance 7/26/24Complete
