Adrian never asked to be the center of anyone's moral crisis-especially not Tyler's. Biracial, confident, and sharp-witted, Adrian is used to navigating a world that sees him in pieces. Tyler, on the other hand, is the golden boy from a small town steeped in quiet racism and casual homophobia-an inheritance he never questioned until Adrian crashed into his life like a challenge he wasn't ready for.

What starts as tension-unspoken words, stolen glances, and accidental touches-slowly shifts into something deeper. As the two boys grow closer, Tyler is forced to confront the ugly truths he was raised to believe. His feelings for Adrian don't make sense in the world he comes from, but they refuse to go away.

Torn between the person he was taught to be and the person he's becoming, Tyler finds himself caught in a slow burn he can't smother. And Adrian? He's not sure if he can trust the fire won't burn him in the end.Todos los derechos reservados

Broken Rose de fcklvng

After coming out to the world, it all went south for Vincent Strife. He was kicked out of his parents' house and the majourity of his friends ditched him. His own brother started false rumours. Life isn't so good for this blonde haired, green eyed boy. That is, until he meets a certain someone. Sassy, aloof, a little short, and a bit of an enigma-Ciaran Ross. Ciaran is a huge mystery for everyone. He's quiet, a lone wolf, keeps his head down and ghosts through life. He's a jerk on the outside, pushing people away before they get too close. But with his strange personality and piercing blue eyes that scream 'stay away,' Vincent can't help but feel pulled in. They are different in every way, yet so similar at the same time. One, a pretty boy from a town in Maine, determined to get close to this mystery boy. The other, a broody German from Rostock, adamant about staying away and running from what he fears most; love. But they're both hurt. Both broken. Both alone. Will they bend, or break? . . . . . . . -This story takes place in 2003 and is obviously made up. Some laws and material may be accurate, some may not. I curved real life to make up this fun little story about two boys!

My Quiet Heart Could Breathe:Before the silence de Zakieya_A

He came to this town with nothing but a name and the echo of people he can't bring back. Grief doesn't knock-it settles in. And when it did, it left him quiet. Numb. Watching the world go on like nothing cracked beneath his skin. Then came Tyler. Loud, chaotic, bright. The kind of person who doesn't ask permission to exist. The kind of person you'd follow without knowing why. He made things feel like maybe they could be okay. But this isn't the kind of story you think it is. It isn't about falling in love. It's about hiding it. About swallowing every word that might give you away. It's about watching someone save your life without knowing they're doing it. About pretending you're not breaking when you are. This is not a love story. It's the story of silence. Of surviving. Of what it costs to bury who you are, even from the person you need most. It's a confession written in the margins of pain. Read closely. Some truths are only heard when everything else goes quiet.

It's just the end of the world de M_Ripley

Jace Monroe is just trying to survive. Between his grueling double shifts at a downtown diner and a late-night cleaning job at a crumbling theater, he barely has time to breathe-let alone dream. Life in the city is unforgiving, and being young, broke, and gay in a world that rarely makes space for softness has left him guarded and exhausted. Then he meets Lucien. Tall, magnetic, and dressed like sin itself in a leather jacket and a crooked smile, Lucien crashes into Jace's life-literally-on a rain-slick street corner. Their connection is instant, electric. Jace feels seen in a way he hasn't in years. But Lucien is no ordinary man. He's a demon returned to Earth, tasked with igniting the apocalypse. And Jace? He's the spark that could either damn him or save him. As the world begins to unravel-fires in the sky, shadows that whisper, cities crumbling-Jace must confront the truth about Lucien, about himself, and about the strange, terrifying love blooming between them. Because sometimes the end of the world isn't the end at all. It's the beginning of something far more dangerous. And far more beautiful. *Note, this is in short chapters and not perfect. But I enjoyed the story.
