Sixteen-year-old Nathaniel "Nate" Holloway has everything-a prestigious last name, a mansion in the best part of town, and a reputation as one of the top rugby players in the country. To the outside world, he's the perfect son in the perfect family. But behind closed doors, his father's relentless expectations and brutal discipline control his every move. Failure is not an option. Weakness is unforgivable. And love? That's a privilege he doesn't deserve.

At school, Nate moves within the elite social circle, his best friend-the golden boy everyone adores-shining in the spotlight while he plays the role expected of him. Quiet. Strong. Unshakable. But inside, he's drowning under the weight of his father's grip, convinced that this life, this pain, is normal.

Then he meets her.

She's nothing like the world he knows-carefree, defiant, and unafraid to challenge everything he's been raised to believe. With her, Nate starts to see life beyond the rigid walls of his father's control. But breaking free means risking everything-his status, his future, and the illusion of perfection his family has worked so hard to maintain.

And his father will never let that happen.

Trapped Under Perfect is a gripping coming-of-age story about breaking cycles, finding freedom, and the courage it takes to choose your own path-even when the whole world is watching.

BUT DADDY I LOVE HIM | boys of tommen by -luvvlia
14 parts Ongoing Mature
Romeo O'Brien has always known who he is. On the pitch, he's one of Tommen College's star rugby players-fierce, fast, and impossible to miss. Off the field, he's surrounded by a family that shows love like it's second nature. But even in that world of safety and strength, there's one truth he hasn't dared to speak aloud. Not yet. McKenzie Donahue is used to silence. Quiet by nature and more comfortable on the sidelines than in the spotlight, he plays hurling at BCS not because he loves it, but because it's expected of him. In his house, appearances matter, and anything outside the norm-especially who you love-isn't just unwelcome. It's dangerous. They meet by accident, thanks to a cousin who drags McKenzie to a Tommen rugby game. Romeo's energy is electric, his confidence magnetic-and for reasons McKenzie can't explain, he can't stop looking. And Romeo? He notices the quiet boy who doesn't quite fit in but sees everything. What begins as a few stolen conversations quickly deepens into something neither of them planned for. Friendship becomes a lifeline. And then... something more. But in a world where secrets are necessary for survival, falling in love isn't just risky-it could cost them everything. Torn between the safety of silence and the freedom of truth, Romeo and McKenzie must navigate growing feelings, complicated families, rival schools, and the harsh glare of expectation. One is ready to fight for love. The other isn't sure he's allowed to want it.
The Fuck List by trickst3r4gabri3l
35 parts Complete Mature
Blake McDermott, a senior at Darwin High, has a reputation, and not a desirable one. After his girlfriend broke up with him in front of the entire school, leaving him humiliated, he decided to come up with a game of revenge. He had to make girls fall in love with him, sleep with him, then break their hearts. But when Asher Miller, the school's artsy, quiet, openly gay kid comes into the picture, the rules suddenly change after Blake realizes all the girls are too easy. To give him a real challenge, his friends want him to score Asher as his own. The catch? He needs to do it before school lets out and dump Asher on prom while also completing his list of all the girls in the school. Blake agrees, thinking it would be an easy win. However, Blake is homophobic, and sleeping with a guy would never be something he would do or something he even considered... or is it? What would happen if one of Blake's previous lovers came back into his life? What would happen if Blake falls for Asher and finds himself trapped in a love triangle? What happens when everything just goes entirely wrong? This is "The Fuck List." Similar to a bucket-list, "The Fuck List" is made to be completed within a certain amount of time. Unlike the rest of one's life for a bucket-list, there is only two years for the fuck list to be completed. Join Blake on an emotional journey of self-discovery, love, and devastating loss as he battles the relentless grip of addiction. Struggling to break free from his demons, he navigates the highs of fleeting happiness and the crushing lows of relapse, all while searching for redemption. As he fights to reclaim his life, he faces heartbreak, unexpected connections, and the weight of his past-forcing him to confront the painful truth that change is never easy. Will he find the strength to rise above, or will addiction pull him under once more?
