Liam is seven, quiet, creative, and not quite sure how to explain the truth he's only just starting to understand-that maybe he isn't a boy at all. The only place he feels safe being himself is with his cousin Leanne or his best friend Adam. But when Adam moves away and Liam's secret is discovered by his father, everything changes.

Faced with threats of conversion therapy and a home that no longer feels safe, Liam's older brother Kyle makes a choice: they run. On bikes, with a backpack and a plan held together by hope, the two brothers flee north to find Adam-and maybe a new beginning.

As the police search for them and the adults scramble for control, only Leanne knows where they might be heading. She must choose whether to protect a secret or save two boys who are just trying to be free.

By Your Side is a heartfelt, coming-of-age adventure about identity, loyalty, and the people who stand by you when the world won't. A story for anyone who's ever felt different-and dreamed of being loved exactly as they are.All Rights Reserved

ABTS:The Sequel (REMASTERED) by trd88888

WARNING This story explores some upsetting and triggering topics,I will make sure to put TW where needed and if I don't please tell me so I can amend. Book 2/3 I'm too attached to Millie's story so we back for a sequel! If you haven't read the first Adopted By The Sidemen I suggest you read through that before reading this one otherwise none of this will really make sense. Millie Bradley is a 15 year old girl who has been through some tough problems, being a teenage girl was adopted by the Sidemen can sometimes be challenging. However, she delves into her own sexuality and gender identity issues and realises who he truly is. More issues have to be tackled, but how will the Sidemen help and support them during incredibly hard times.

He/Him ✹ Shyland by klutzyvegetarian7

This story is a continuation of Too Perfect, a Shyland fanfiction. Before reading, make sure you read the first two stories. This story will not make sense as it picks up where the last story left off. If you read this story first, there will be spoilers to the previous story. Final installment of 3 part series Part 1: It's Complicated Part 2: Too Perfect Part 3: He/Him In the perspective of Alex Yaw ✹ My dads told me on my thirteenth birthday that I had a choice to make: I could officially change or stay who I was. My girlfriend said it didn't matter to her what I decided. She said she'd love me the same if I was still a biological girl. But it was an important decision, and growing up was already a stressful experience for me. You would expect that from a girl who told her dads she was a boy at the age of four.

Hidden Roses by profcheeziteater

Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked. He was transgender. Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out. In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are: -transphobia -homophobia -vague references to self harm -suicidal thoughts & actions -SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax. 600 reads?? 100 votes??? Thanks ❤️

'è - An Autobiography to Let Go by ChloeRams15

It's grief, remnants of an innocent life that now exists as a colorful memory. Two separate families, & one child in the middle of it all. Pain & prejudice, what it takes to build true body armor. Mind games & psychology; with great power comes great deceptions. Is it a love story? A trip down memory lane? Or are we pulling a Taylor Swift & putting all of our exes on blast? Okay, so the hero is the villain & then back to a hero? Were they even a hero to begin with, or just an insatiable dreamer? Grow & break, & grow again. Only I can mend all of the choices he has made, it's my responsibility now. I killed him, & my life takes over where he left off. Lol, so fucking dramatic. This book is probably the most Gen Z thing you'll ever read. But it's all true, the walls are being torn down, & no longer am I going to hide. The most vulnerable I'll ever be. To my family, friends, old & new, & all other loved ones & people mentioned, forgive me. I'm finally letting go.

Book I: to cross oceans for [BxB] (trans) - completed by transFigure_

"What if I'm not one?" I asked, my body wound tight with tension. "One what?" he asked, his voice soft and low. I hesitated. Was I ready? I wanted to tell him so badly. Wanted to scream it from the fucking rooftops. But there would be no going back if I allowed the words to spill out into the world. Telling myself I didn't need someone else's validation, that I knew myself well enough to know with absolute certainty that I was trans was all good and well in principle. But lying here underneath my bed, with my best friend's body pressed so close to mine I could feel his warm breath on my face, I felt those convictions slip through my fingers. Danny's rejection would break me. In a fundamental way. "One what?" he repeated the question, scooting so close to me the tip of his nose brushed mine. Dust motes danced around us, suspended in mid air, teetering on the brink of this momentous feeling wrapping itself around us. I squeezed my eyes shut, pushing down the rush of anxiety trying to drown me. His nose bumped mine again and his breath ghosted over my lips. I opened my eyes and stared unblinkingly into his. 'A girl', I wanted to say, even though I knew the words would taste sour in my mouth, 'what if I'm not a girl?' -------------------------------------- Sean and Danny have been next door neighbours and best friends since they were six years old. They've shared almost everything. From first kisses and crushes to heartbreak. But Sean has a secret.
