[COMPLETE!] A mostly-cozy friends-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances.
Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only an American teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares.
Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine.
But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him.
As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again.
Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared? Or is he becoming someone new entirely?

NO Love Club (B×B) ✔
𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣-𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙖 Cole Walker is (almost) like any other teenager trying to make his way to college. He's angry, he's pissed off and he has an agenda: to make all the bullies and homophobes pay for what happened to his brother. There's just one little thing standing in his way. X Bélizaire, despite the first impression Cole has of him, denies to be either a bully or a homophobe. So much so that he's willing to make a bet, to prove how wrong Cole is about him. Except, it isn't just any bet. It's is a bet about NOT falling for each other, not because they're both guys but because Cole wouldn't fall for a homophobic bully and X wouldn't fall for a know-it-all guy like Cole. Whoever falls in love first, loses.

There are lots of things I would've done different and if there's any views that offend etc, I was young and naive and had no idea what I was talking about. The fact it's got so many reads is crazy to me as it was just something I enjoyed. Some of the rude comments on it I understand but as I said I was very young and it does make me cringe to read it back now but please read and enjoy!*Complete
Since Forever
Archie and Zac have been friends for as long as either of them can remember, which makes sense because they've known each other since forever.

Prepared to spend the summer getting to know his friend again, Archie is surprised when Zac brings school friends along to camp. Surely Zac isn't replacing him. The thought hurts more than it should and as the summer drags on, Archie is going to find out why. Can his revelation pull them back together, or will they continue to drift further apart?Complete
What Was Left At Camp
I wish to edit this story and make few changes but I am wrapped up in others. This is my first attempt at writing so... hope you like. Edits may happen in time but for now, the story will remain as is. At the age of Seven, Christian came out to his parents. His parents accepted him with open arms but with concerns the world may not, they took matters into their own hands. They raised Christian to be a confident, strong minded young man with the capability of defending himself both mentally and physically. Christian was ready to tackle the world and everything he loved, including Football. At the age of fourteen, he decided he would spend his summer at a well known football camp to perfect his skills. That's where he met his first love and boyfriend, Billy, who disappeared the last week of camp. Four years later, when a new student named William transfers to his school, it throws Christians life into chaos. William reminded Christian of Billy. He was convinced his lost love had been found. One problem, William insisted he wasn't this Billy person Christian assumed him to be. Will Christian ever learn of what happened to his lost love or ruin everything he's worked so hard to accomplish in his attempts to find the truth?Complete

Saying that Max Oran is a disaster would be an understatement: he got himself kicked out of school, his dad has sent him to live with his emotionally distant mother and his friends don't want anything to do with him.

As Max develops new bonds and begins to fall for Cole, he realizes that, despite everything, he might have stumbled into something beautiful. Eager to embrace the second chance that life has given him, Max begins counseling and, with the help of Cole and his newfound friends, tries to move forward. However, he quickly realizes that there are more bumps ahead than he was prepared for and is forced to decide if he's going to push past his problems or let his mistakes hold him back forever.

MATEO || bxb
It only took one summer to change everything. Now Camden is just trying his best to carry on with life like normal, but that's a little tricky when his memories keep haunting and some nights are so bad that sleep evades him completely. He can't even imagine how much worse it would have been if Mateo hadn't been there. But that was the summer before and Mateo's been gone for the whole year since. What happens when Mateo comes home, and how will Cam ever face him again? ___ 'He looked mostly the same as last summer, older maybe, definitely more tanned. He'd grown his hair out a little longer, so it hung lower in his eyes now. I'd seen him post a picture with his hair like that a few months ago and decided to grow mine out too. I wonder when he looked at me, did he see me as I am now, or did he see me as I was then, that night?' ___ TW: sexual assaultComplete
A slow fall
Caleb was lost and had been for as long as he could remember. He tried to walk the path his parents wanted, but he couldn't see it through the darkness. With his brothers away for college everything became worse. The once warm home felt ice cold, the halls devoid of sound and his life devoid of colour. Then he bumped into Lucas. His long time neighbour who he was certain only saw him as his best friends little brother. Until he didn't. Until Lucas inserted himself further into Caleb's life, getting closer to him than anyone had ever been. Too close. Or maybe that's just what Caleb needed, someone to see more than what was on the surface. Maybe the love he sought was right there in front if him, and so was the help he needed. --- *This is a bxb that deals with sensitive themes, religion, and mature subjects. Read with care. It's also a really. really slow burn.* Slow updated, but still updating (promise)! No AI was involved at any point in the writing of this story.
