A moment neither of them can shake. What begins as tension builds into something dangerous-something they're both too scared to name. Because some lines should never be crossed. But some desires don't care. A slow-burn, age-gap romance wrapped in heat, heartache, and the ache of forbidden want.

Call it what you want (Maxley)
A maxley fanfic BECAUSE THERE ISNT ENOUGH (I'm trying to make it slow burn but tbh I'm really bad at slowburn) Max: As Max begins sophomore year, he finds himself having feelings for someone he never imagined he would. It's absolutely unheard of and definitely the worst Person to feel ANYTHING but hatred toward, but what could he do? The feeling grows and eventually, so does their connection. This year would be interesting indeed Bradley: After the X games, Bradley had completely altered the way he treated people, after finding out his roommate was the exact person he was dreading to reunite with, things got a bit tricky but none the less he was determined to focus on only school this year, no interruptions, though that had became quite hard he found himself tangled in his own mess all over again.
Brie and Claire
"You have secrets." "I do not." "Yes you do, and I'm going to find out what they are." Claire finds herself joining Brie on an unexpected journey, one that she had never imagined to be a part of, when all she was expecting was a boring roommate. Her mundane life from working at a thrift store changes dramatically, when her path collides with Brie's. The two hadn't met since freshman year of high school, and hadn't realised how different they each were from their teenage selves. How their ambitions, passions, and stories had changed, and what life had in hold for the two. Claire, an exceptionally gifted artist, was always eager to put her skills to use. The question is, would she still want to, if she was to rob a gallery. And as for Brie, her story couldn't possibly be put into a single sentence. Are they fearless enough to face the malice of the world? Are they desperate enough to pull off a heist? Are they insatiable enough to fall in love? Ranks: #17 in heist Note: Not just all the characters, but most places like the museum and town in which the story takes place, the painting and artist are all fictional. Note 2: This is a slowburn, do not read if you don't have the patience for it Note 3: WAY too many descriptions of the sky but that's what you get from an author obsessed with sunsets Themes of sexuality, homophobia, mental health/disorders, eating disorders and addiction Credits to @LoonyGlitch for the book coverComplete
