To M. and M.,
whose bond, though often unspoken, speaks volumes.It is in the glances exchanged across a room, in the subtle gestures and the quiet presence you hold around each other, that I came to understand a different kind of love-one that does not seek attention, yet demands recognition. Even in moments of distance, the connection between you remains unmistakable, sincere, and deeply felt.
You reminded me that love does not always arrive in declarations or certainty. Sometimes, it is found in the pause between words, the softness in a gaze, or the gentlest of touches. You made me believe in love again-not as a grand performance, but as something tender, patient, and profoundly true.
And to my muse,
whose insight, humor, and unwavering support gave life to this work.
From the very beginning, you challenged me with a simple question-Why not?"-and in doing so, you gave me permission to imagine without limits. Your persistent jokes about me being Shakespeare may have begun in jest, but they carried with them a quiet encouragement that pushed me to write boldly, honestly, and with heart.
This book was born out of your inspiration, your friendship, and your belief in the stories we don't always dare to tell.
To the love that reveals itself in silence,
To the friendships that turn thoughts into words,
And to the courage it takes to ask *"why not?"*
-this book is for you.

Unknowingly Loving You
Liking someone is a genuine thing, happy feeling that inspires and glimmers with hope. Despite preparation and belief, love comes without limits. No matter how we prepare and convince ourselves, when love comes, there's nothing we can do. It all started by denying it, and as it ended, it became undeniable. Loving someone came from an unknown reason, but we felt there's something between them that we just admire, or a deeper something we fall for. Love is a beautiful emotion, but we are conditioned to trust fate over circumstances. Despite emotions, taking risks is a game we can fight for. But is love supposed to be felt, not expressed verbally? The story of missed opportunities and lost relationships is mixed with beautiful moments when the right things happen to the right people at the right time and place for all the right reasons. The characters in these pages feel somewhat familiar, like old friends: the high school friends, the one who taught you that love can come from unexpected moments, even the truest, purest kind, holds no guarantees, the one who will never be yours, the one you regret hurting, and finally, the one who you pushed. Sometimes there are people who are meant to be each other, but sometimes it all becomes a lesson. These are people you've known or loved before, possibly even people you've been with. None of them were perfect, but they shaped each other to learn. This is not only a love letter to the past. It's a love letter to the present and its endless possibilities. It's a love letter to the future and all the decisions we've yet to make-all the times we'll choose love over and over. It's a love letter to pain and loneliness, for the power they didn't realize they had given us. It's a love letter to ourselves, for each time we choose to rise back up after being knocked down by love. And it's a love letter to accept and love itself in all of its grandeur, pain, wonder, and constancy. This book is a love letter, and it awaits you.Complete

"I think I'm gay." I say, leaving out the part about my... exposing dream about him last night. I watched his expression, waiting for some sign that he was angry. I waited for him to call me a faggot, to curse me off and tell me he never wanted to see me again. Instead, I was greeted with his perfect toothy smile. "That's great man, I'm of proud you." He says, patting my arm as he stuffed another cracker in his mouth. "It takes some real balls to come out to someone." He says, his beautiful green eyes blazing into mine. I felt myself become flustered at his gaze. "Uh, Yeah, Thanks." I stumbled out, "You're not mad?" I ask. His expression turns to hurt as he crinkles his eyebrows. "Why the hell would I be mad?" He asks, hesitating on the crackers and pushing them away. "I just thought-it's just- well... you just always seem so pissed when someone mentions the word gay." I spit out words, scared for his reaction. He sighs, "That doesn't fucking mean I hate gays. Normally when I do that it's because someone's using the word 'gay' to hate on them, it just pisses me off, you know?" He asks, bringing the crackers back into his lap and biting into them. "Plus-" He adds on, "You're my best friend, if anything, you being gay is a blessing. I'll always support you." He says, glancing at me through the side of his eyes. I look away, towards the door to hide the crimson blush that I feel spread over my face. "Thanks." I all but squeak out. And that's the day I realized, I have a faint crush on my best friend. <><><><><< THIS BOOK IS BEING *MAJORLY* EDITED. THERES LOTS OF SPELLING MISTAKES AND NAME MIX UPS, SOME CHAPTERS WILL BE REWRITTEN Also, Please don't be mean to the characters, they aren't even close to perfect, but they don't deserve hate.Complete
Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

Anomalies ✔
"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Castor Rex: He's snarky, quiet and mysterious. A secret keeper. He doesn't like his life to be on display. People avoid him, even if they respect him. Jasper Red: He's polite, nice and helpful. A open book. He likes filling his life with other people and their love. People love him, they can't help it. Because of his quiet nature, snarky smirks and sarcastic words Castor has always had a hard time when it came to making friends -and keeping them. Something Jazz doesn't struggle with. With Jazz's protective nature, shyness and many friends he doesn't need someone else to fill a spot in his life -at least, that's what he thought. Then they met. And that empty part in Jazz's heart felt a little bit bigger because he started to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** As a private person, someone who doesn't share myself with others, I can say that learning how to interact with others is difficult. It's like baking, almost, you have to mix the right ingredients together, and if you add the wrong ones things can taste hideous even if they look good. It's a lot like our words. But I've mastered how to tell someone just a little about myself but doing it in a way that makes the person in front of me think they know a lot. Jasper, somehow, sees through this every fucking time and it's absolutely infuriating. He's never satisfied with just a little of me, with my hidden truth, and it's the most annoying thing I've ever experienced. *** @STESLARA made the second POV in her book 'Jasper Red's Anomaly'Complete
The Space Between by Noah V
In a world where we carry thousands of connections in our pockets, why do so many of us still go to bed feeling like strangers to ourselves? Why does "seen" at 11:47 PM feel more intimate than most conversations we have face-to-face? This is a story about two young men-Micky and Harry-who found each other across continents and drawn together by the magnetic pull of possibility and the desperate need to be seen for who they truly are. Both carry the invisible weight of childhoods where love came with conditions-where being seen meant being someone else entirely. Each has learned what it means to bend for a world that rarely bends back. And still, they've come to understand that some of the most meaningful connections are born in quiet, against the odds, where they've found that the deepest connections often take root in the least expected places-within the soft glow of a phone screen, in late night exchanges the span continents and emotional scars. But what happens when the person who finally sees your real self-lives 300 miles away? When the most honest conversations of your life happen through a screen? When the love that feels like coming home exists only in the space between "message sent" and "message received"? This is not just a story about online romance or the complexities of modern love. This is a story about the terrifying intimacy of being truly known-and the devastating realization that sometimes the people who love us best are the ones we can't touch. It's about the courage it takes to be vulnerable, the price we pay for authenticity, and the sometimes painful journey toward understanding what we truly deserve. It's about two people learning that the search for love-real, honest, transformative love-often begins with the hardest task of all: learning to love themselves.
The Pretty Boy In The Sheets| bxb |
*I do not own any rights to the photo used as my cover* *** #2 in TeenRomance (2026) #4 in Gayness (26) #9 in Teenager (2026) #11 in Coming out the closet (2021) I started this story in 2021... Everything is cringy and bad about this story, but I decided to complete this book since I got a lot of comments disappointed it was never finished. Eric didn't choose or really want to be gay, it just kind of happen- something that just happened, he can't even remember how he found out he was gay all he knew was that he was, And it wasn't like there's nothing wrong with that. Eric wasn't homophobic, he didn't feel disgusted in himself but rather disappointed. Everyone put pressure on him to be this perfect person, whether it being grades or sports or family- everything would be ruin if he came out. That's why he hadn't told anyone in the last couple years, not because he's scared- pft, Eric Goodmen scared? Star football player? Could have all the women by just a click of a button if wasn't for being in love with the same gender- scared? He was just a little 'inconvenienced'. One party changed everything though- to many drinks and making out with the wrong gender to send his fake perfect life crashing down when discovering out the first person he came out to, kissed, and had sex with was Callum Micheals. Mr pretty boy. Like life flashing before his eyes- Eric questioned whether Callum remembered or not? *** The smell of a nose itching fabric softer, too expensive for his parents to buy and the feel of warm feather pillows is what Eric woke up to. His body was somewhat tired, and sweaty but besides that, he felt good- he even let out a morning moan sitting up with his arms to look around, he was at Jackson's. A light ache from his hangover rang through his head reminding him that he drank a lot last night seconds later, he opened his mouth to hiss or groan in pain, but the groan that brought silence to the room wasn't his- it was, "Callum?!" Eric whisper shouted.Complete
When least expected
They say love finds you when you least expect it. For me, it began in the most ordinary way-on the first day of school in 2022, when the world was still relearning how to breathe after two years of silence. The halls were crowded, masks hiding half of everyone's faces, but one voice cut through the noise like it was meant to reach me. His voice. I didn't even know his name yet. All I knew was the way his hair fell perfectly messy, the way his laugh seemed to echo even behind a mask, and how-somehow-my heart decided too quickly that he was the one. But the truth was brutal: he didn't like me back. Not even close. So I stayed quiet. I let myself blend into the background while he remained untouchable, like a star I could only watch from far away. But fate has a way of rewriting stories you think are already over. January 2023 came after a long Christmas break, and with it, a spark I didn't see coming. From strangers who barely noticed each other, to friends who shared stolen conversations... until, suddenly, we weren't just "friends" anymore. We became something more. Something real. This isn't just a love story. It's about how two people, once separated by silence and circumstance, found their way to each other-again and again-until "you and I" became "us." And this? This is where it all begins.

welcome to this story. i don't really know what it is yet - maybe it's a love story, maybe it's a confession, maybe it's just pages full of everything i couldn't say out loud. i didn't plan on writing this. it didn't start with a perfect idea or a cup of coffee or one of those playlists that make you cry at 2am. it started with her. with the stories we used to make up at night - the kind you whisper before falling asleep, soft and half-real. it became a tradition, something small but ours. she once told me i should post them on wattpad. i laughed it off. and when everything ended, i thought... why not? so i wrote this. not to bring her back, but to remember what it felt like when words still meant us. when everything was new and fragile and maybe too much. when love didn't start in a crowded room, but in a glowing screen, where two people who were never supposed to meet somehow did - through an app, a message, a spark that became a story. i wrote it like someone trying to hold on and let go at the same time. like someone who keeps rewriting moments in their head, wondering if things could've been different. this isn't perfect. it won't have clean chapters or a happy ending tied with a bow. it's about feeling too much and saying too little. about loving someone quietly and wondering if they ever noticed. about the distance between what we feel and what we dare to say. and now you're here. reading this. which means maybe, just maybe, you've felt this too. maybe you've loved someone who was never really yours. maybe you've turned your pain into fiction just to make it hurt less. maybe you understand. so... welcome. to the story that wasn't supposed to be a story. to the chaos and the softness and the things left unsaid. so welcome to the story where Gio meets Élise through an app - and what starts as curiosity turns into something raw, magnetic, and impossible to name. where midnight messages become confessions, and distance becomes both a wall and a thread.
Wild Magic Three: The Shade of the Earth- a M/M fantasy shifter romance
*****COMPLETE-- Book three in the Wild Magic Series. Sequel to By the Light of the Moon and The Dark of the Sun, but can be read as a stand-alone. The Shade of the Earth is a M/M, May/December, gay-for-you romance with fated mates, knotting, and a bobcat shifter with a small stature and big spunk.***** Robert has been surrounded by men attracted and romantically involved with other men for most of his life. He accepts his friends, defends them, loves them... but has never really understood them and their attraction to other men. Now, a diminutive bobcat shifter, with all the spunk of his feline counterparts, nameless and without a family or home, has claimed him as his mate, refuses to leave his side, and somehow forces him to see sex and attraction in a whole new light. But just as things are beginning to fall into place for Robert and his Sami, will they have everything ripped away by a dark figure from Robert's past? ************************************************ "I'm confused, Sami. This is... a lot. I've never been attracted to a man. I like women- I don't like men! Please understand, all of this is a lot for me." "I'm not men," the shifter whispered, a single tear dripping across his temple and back into his curly, ragged hair. "I'm your Sami." The words had the breath in my lungs freezing painfully. I stared down into his simple, open face, and had a sudden, near-violent realization. Sami ran on pure, feral instinct. This didn't make him stupid, it didn't make him simple of mind. It made his desires and thought process easy and pure. He wanted me, I was denying him. He couldn't understand any other reason for me to do this other than his own inadequacies. He didn't understand the laws of attraction as humans saw them. He saw only that I was his mate. And I was denying him.Complete
Altered: Win and Team
"I wanted to remind him of the night we cleared things out. He has all the right to fear especially that we're deviating from the norm. But what is really considered normal? Men before us were in this kind of relationship already. The Romans knew about it. What changed that made our situation different from before? Society has a way of being funny. Evolution has a play in this part. Homosapiens eliminated their previous counterparts in fear of extinction. Not knowing that they were the product of the latter. I wondered who spread this way of thinking about same sex relationships. I'm not quiet sure it was religion. Could it be the opposite sex? In fear that reproduction can be halted? Or could it be a propaganda by a corporation who feared that there would be fewer consumers of their product due to our preferences. We can only wonder." -Phawin We know Dean and Pharm had made a promise to live together after both graduates and get married in New York. We know Del and Alex, as well as, Manaow and Pruk got together. But how about Win and Team? What will become of them after? What's their plan? What does the future have in store? Do they have a plan or would they keep on just whinging it. Ever wondered what happened between them? Between us? Let's try and look into the possibilities.. How do you move on? Are you able? Where you able? If you don't want to get hurt, If you don't want to ruin yourself, Even a little further.. Please move on. But if you dare and wanted to know, Then continue. But, remember - I warned you. If you ship Win and Team and waiting for Between Us The Series to come out and Hemp Rope to finish, you may try and take a chance on this alternative universe. Chapters with *bunny ears* are my chapter babies that contains 'easter eggs'. 😉 Leave a star for your favorite chapter and leave some comments that we can gossip about. 🌟 ❤️ Credits to the original owner of the characters.
