"There's escape in escaping"
James Roy hasn't run away, though the thought lingers in him like a second heartbeat. Escape is a language he knows by heart- plans sketched in silence, invisible suitcase packed with longing. What keeps him here is the weight of routine, of criticism, of expectations that grind him down.
Aleksandr Popov wants to save him. Wants to give him something gentler, something steadier. But desire and possibility rarely align.
Their story rekindles with the unlikeliest of incidents: The Goo goo dolls, a questionable performance, and a swingset under the night sky.
-Love,
An Average Guy

James McAllister, a shy, introspective, gay American teen, arrives in St. Petersburg as an exchange student, seeking adventure, independence, and a chance to reinvent himself in a place where no one knows him. He is immediately paired with Nikolai, a quiet, thoughtful Russian boy who becomes his guide, translator, and anchor in a city that feels at once enchanting and overwhelming. Meanwhile, Nikolai wrestles with a quiet, unspoken crush on James, a mix of admiration, protectiveness, and deepening desire that he suppresses, compounded by internalized homophobia and fear of rejection. As James begins to notice a charismatic classmate, Nikolai's internal conflict intensifies, torn between jealousy and the desire to remain the steadfast friend James relies on. || Started: August 31st 2025Complete

And a cool older brother he looks up to. But perfect lives don't stay perfect for long. When the truth finally comes crashing down, everything James thought he knew falls apart. His father is barely holding things together, working two jobs just to keep the lights on. His so-called boyfriend disappears without a trace. And his mother and brother are sent to prison. What's left behind isn't comfort-it's rage. When a violent incident leaves another boy in the hospital, James finds himself removed from everything familiar and placed into a group home. There, he meets three boys who carry their own fractures, their own anger, and their own stories of survival. And for the first time, James is forced to exist somewhere he can't pretend. A place where broken people are expected to heal... or break further. The group home owner believes James can be saved. James isn't so sure he wants to be. But everything shifts again when his brother escapes from prison. Old fear returns. Trust becomes dangerous. And survival stops being a choice-it becomes instinct.

War of Hearts (BoyxBoy) [Book 1: Unspeakable Series]
Theo People say that love brings out the best in you and I guess their partially right. But as for myself, well that's a different story. Love brought out the good, the bad, and the ugly with in me. It's a little ironic, don't you think? That something as beautiful and seemingly pure as love can be twisted and manipulated into something so unbearably grotesque ... dark. Love in whatever form, whether it's pure or dark is all consuming and that in itself is beautiful, right? And it's really just all a game. It has to be. But I've been losing it for so long to the supposed love of my life, my everything, my...brother. I've never really been able to handle losing and it was killing me. He was killing me in this awful...beautiful game of love and I just...lost it. This game was turning into a war. A war I had to win. A war of hearts.

Home is a Four Letter Word
(Book One) Jake Holmes hadn't put much thought into what home meant until Connor Morgan asked him to. He had settled with an idealistic fantasy. A life in the closet, complete with the girl he could bring home to momma, a house next to his best friend, and 2.5 kids. It didn't require thought, it didn't require confrontation, and it sure as hell didn't require him to reject everything he had ever learned about what life was and what made it worth living. But Connor did. Connor wasn't meant to happen. He ended up in Jake's life by chance, but Jake kept him there by choice. Connor was a pipedream stuffed away inside the ridges of Jake's mind that dared him to question everything for a life of authenticity. A life with Connor was something close enough to touch if he only knew how to reach for it. Jake's feelings for Connor become unmistakable, but the grip his past has on his ability to embrace the possibility of a life where he lets those feelings win threatens to leave him with a desperate choice he isn't equipped to make. As Jake struggles to find home within his identity, he is forced to combat the part of his heart that is stuck in the past with the part of his heart that yearns for a future. What is home if not where the heart is? Completed. Book 1 of 3. Sequel releases coming soon.Complete
