Eli was 17 when Ramon took him in off the streets. Hindi niya alam kung awa lang ba 'yon o dahil may sariling sugat din si Ramon na gusto niyang takpan by helping someone else. Now, three years later, they live like father and son-sort of. No labels. No legal adoption. Just a quiet understanding.
But the longer they live together, the more confusing things get. The comfort becomes intimacy. The concern becomes obsession. And late-night conversations turn into moments that linger too long.
Neither of them knows how to name what they feel. They only know it shouldn't be this complicated.

COLLATERAL ATTRACTION BL
R-18 (MATURE CONTENT) PROLOGUE No one here's innocent. But we stayed anyway. Three demons. One bed. No rules. This isn't a love story. It's a mess we didn't mean to start - But once it did, we didn't stop it either. Walang grand plan. Walang big reveal. Just three people who crossed lines they never meant to blur. But they did. I did. And here we are. Maximillian Royce. Loud. Loyal. Always on fire. Acts like he owns the world, but deep down, gusto lang niyang may kasama sa gulo niya. Cassian Vale. The quiet storm. Hindi mo siya mabasa, pero ramdam mo siya palagi. He doesn't say much - but when he does, you listen. Even if it ruins you. And me? Xander Arriaga. I walk in loud, pero deep inside? I don't know how to be soft without falling apart. Sabi nila I'm too much. Maybe I am. I thought I had control. But attraction has a way of becoming something else - something heavier. And when it starts to look like comfort, you forget how dangerous it actually is. Especially when no one says what they really feel. Not clearly. Not out loud. Pero ramdam mo sa silence, sa tension, sa hiraman ng kumot sa gabi. We didn't plan this. We didn't ask for it. But now? It's too late to walk away clean. Three demons. One bed. No rules. Just consequences. This isn't just a throuple. It's a damn war zone with feelings. And that's what makes it... --- COLLATERAL ATTRACTION by @jai_grey

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?Complete
Bakit Hindi Tayo?
In a world full of loud declarations and grand gestures, Celestine Devara chose to stay in the background, writing poems that he would never read, and choosing him even when he never asked her to. Eli, the boy who felt like home, never promised forever. He smiled, held her hand, whispered warmth into cold nights-but never called her his. And maybe that was the most painful part, being almost his, but never really. When Mira, Eli's past, returned, Celestine quietly stepped back, like she always did. She waited for him to choose her, until she realized... hindi lahat ng pinili mo, pipiliin ka. When love becomes a waiting game, how long before someone finally walks away? In a world of almost and unsaid goodbyes, Celestine learns to walk away from the love that never chose her, and into the arms of the healing she didn't know she needed. Pero paano kung sa paglayo niya... doon naman sya hinabol ng taong mahal niya? Will she stay on choosing herself? or will she risk it all?

Love was never supposed to cross realms. Mira was an ordinary girl living an ordinary life until she met Elian a prince from a world beyond her own. Their meeting should have been impossible. Their bond should have faded. The laws of the realms demanded it. But some hearts refuse to obey. As their connection deepened. Ancient powers took notice. Elders condemned them. Oaths older than memory were invoked. The bridge between their worlds was torn apart and Elian was given a choice. Abandon her or lose everything. He chose her. Again and again. He endured exile crossed forbidden realms, faced creatures older than creation and stood against powers capable of reshaping worlds. While kingdoms debated his fate and gods vanished from existence. He carried only one hope that somehow that one day he would find his way back to Mira. But the price of defying fate was cruel. The world did not merely separate them. It began to erase them from each other. Now Mira struggles with memories she cannot explain while Elian fights a war spreading across realms. One is forgetting. The other refuses to forget. And across worlds, beyond gods, kings and ancient laws was a single question remains. How much can a person lose before love itself disappears? Because some love stories are not about finding each other. They are about refusing to let go.
BEHIND HIS HAZEL GAZE
Marahan akong umakyat sa hagdan, pinipigilang gumawa ng ingay. Tahimik na tahimik na ang buong mansion. Madilim na ang pasilyo sa second floor - alas-dose na rin kasi ng gabi. Pagdating ko sa tapat ng pinto ni Master Xavier, bahagya akong huminga nang malalim. Kumatok ako ng mahina, Nang marinig ko ang boses ni master na Pinapasok niya ako.. Aabutin ko na sana ng kamay ko ang doorknob, nang biglang bumukas ang pinto sa katabing kwarto.. Napalingon ako - at doon, nagtagpo ulit ang mga mata namin ni Master Alessandro. Sandali lang 'yon, pero parang tumigil ang oras. Bago pa ako makapagsalita, bigla niya akong hinila papasok sa kwarto niya. Hindi ko na nagawang mag-react - sa isang iglap lang, marahas na niya akong isinandal sa pinto. "A-Alessandro!!" gulat kong sabi, halos hindi makahinga ng maayos. Tinitigan niya ako nang mariin, 'yung titig na parang kaya akong basahin, kaya akong lamunin. Kinabahan ako. Ramdam ko ang panginginig ng kamay ko habang pilit kong itinulak ang dibdib niya. "B-bitawan mo ako..." halos pakiusap ko na. Ngunit imbes na makinig, bahagyang ngumisi si Alessandro - 'yung ngiting mahirap basahin kung galit ba o nang-aasar. At sa malamig na boses, dahan-dahan siyang sumagot, "Ayoko nga." ALESSANDRO VINZENZI STORY The unwanted sonComplete
