"Dance is singing with your body."
Lukas takes a step into a hobby he long thought he would never return to: dance. In an unfamiliar city with familiar faces, he comes across someone he never thought he would cross paths with again, in a dance studio of all places. Finn, an old rival from high school, is also set in stone on competing in dance with his own crew. Now as young adults, the two may have to intertwine their unexpected passions, and find feelings long hidden.
Will they be able to work together in harmony, or will they go back to their old ways?

[BOOK TWO] Hugo never thought a sexuality crisis would be on the cards for him. Seriously, him being anything not straight was never even really something he'd even thought about. That was, until he kissed his best friend and it should have meant nothing but well... did this type of thing come with an instruction manual? Alex just wants to keep his best friend. Does he have feelings? Maybe. So far he's managed to ignore them. Conceal don't fucking feel as the Disney obsessed dickhead would say. But hell, he had feelings for Hugo of all people? Seriously? What the fuck universe? After winning nationals, Hugo starts acting weirder and weirder, Alex has no idea what to think. Usually, weird is normal for Hugo. They both struggle to reconcile their rapidly fading friendship. Then, well... Shit happens, and Hugo and Alex are forced closer than ever. It's a whole thing. Seriously. IMPORTANT NOTE: this is a continuation of head over heels, it picks up where the story left off, only from Hugo + Alex's povs :) I would HIGHLY recommend reading head over heels first.Complete
Boys Will Be Boys (v.2)
This is the rewritten (better!) version of Boys Will Be Boys DISCLAIMER: This book will contain foul language and general idiocy. I started writing this almost six years ago, and many of the writing techniques and actual content are no longer representative of me as a writer. Nonetheless, I do hope it makes you happy to read. CW/TW: (internalized and general) homophobia, other TWs are specified as needed in chapters *** "You good Keke?" I felt a hand slap my back and looked up excitedly, lips splitting into a grin when Lukas dragged a stool over next to mine. He nudged me with his shoulder, a small smile on his lips. "Don't fucking call me that, and yeah, 'm alright," I yawned, resting my head on my forearm and leaning so I could meet Lukas' eyes. "Just tired and sore" I admitted, letting my legs dangle so I could knock them into Lukas' in a repetitive pattern. He looked down in surprise, which soon turned to determination as we waged a silent war between who could kick each other harder and evade the other's attack. "Yeah, I'm still sore from last night too" Lukas murmured, wincing when I got him in the shin. "Same here" DJ piped in, echoed quietly by Roger who was still lost in his own world. "You guys make it sound like we had a massive orgy last night"Complete

Bloom in the wake of Ruin ⚣ ✔️
"Excuse me, sir. I think you may have dropped these?" It was the voice I noticed first. Smooth, a little amused, and low enough to draw me out of myself. Then I saw him. Dirty blonde hair that looked like waves crashing down the sides of his face, and freckles like splattered paint across his fair skin. A silver hoop in his nose, another in his brow, both catching the light. And those eyes... electric blue, staring into my green ones with intensity. - After a heartbreaking loss, Killian has spent two years shielding himself from love, or any human contact really-convinced that no one could ever replace the person he lost.

When their paths cross, the spark is undeniable, but both are hesitant, scared of getting too close.

Will they let their pasts define them, or can they find the courage to bloom together in the wake of their ruins?Complete

(bxb) Siren Song of a Savior (Siren x Human)
I had always been taught that humans were cruel creatures with the intent of dominating the Earth. I never thought I'd meet one, let alone form an attachment. "Stay. Please, Collin. I don't want you to go back." He bites his lip, his flat, human teeth digging into the soft flesh. His crystal blue eyes rake over my figure before he entwines his fingers with mine. He nods. I pull our hands to my mouth. "Thank Poseidon. I don't know what I'd do if you left," I murmur. A small, breathtaking smile graces his lips. This quiet, beautiful boy might just be mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin has been ridiculed his whole life because he doesn't speak.

He was always fascinated by the creatures so similar to him that roam on the land.
