"You flirt like it's a limited-time offer." 
Preston blinked. "I do not." 
Benjamín smirked. "You said I was pretty."
"You are," Preston replied, automatic. Then paused. "...Statistically." 
"Ah, yes. Statistically pretty."


Preston Aldridge lives in a mansion, wears a flawless smile, and follows every rule his father etched in stone. He's the guy everyone expects to impress-but he's starting to wonder if perfection's just another prison.

Benjamín Reyes keeps people at arm's length behind sarcasm and late-night snacks. He's used to being a footnote in other people's stories-until Preston writes him into the margins.

They weren't supposed to meet. They definitely weren't supposed to matter to each other. But one summer changes everything.

Secrets simmer. Expectations crack. And Preston and Benjamín find themselves tangled in something neither of them planned for-something real.

Perhaps love is found in everything they are not.All Rights Reserved

Across the Boundaries by Novara08

"She was invisible. He was untouchable. But love doesn't follow rules." Ella Malik has always lived in the background - quiet, cautious, and nearly invisible. In a world of luxury cars, perfect reputations, and private parties, she knows the rules: stay out of sight, stay out of trouble, and never fall for someone out of reach. William Ashford breaks every rule. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. He's rich enough to have everything - and guarded enough to feel nothing. Until Ella. What starts as a reluctant academic partnership slowly turns into something neither of them can explain - or ignore. She challenges his silence. He softens her edges. And beneath casual moments and stolen glances, something raw and real begins to spark. It's not just comfort. Not just attraction. It's the kind of love that refuses to stay quiet - fierce, fragile, and all-consuming. He sees her when no one else does. She reaches places in him no one's ever touched. And even if they come from two different worlds, their hearts speak the same language.

With the help of a misfit-like individual, Hayden goes on an adventure of a lifetime. While unaware that his past is catching up to him. He'd inevitably have to decide how he wanted to live out the rest of his days, either as an office prisoner or a runaway.

LOCKED AWAY /BL by GoldenSunsetSonnet

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird OR Trapped in a school that feels more like a prison, sixteen-year-old Benjamin Walker quickly learns that survival isn't just about following the rules-it's about knowing who to trust. Forced to share a dorm with three dangerous and unpredictable boys, Benjamin finds himself walking a thin line between fear and belonging. Max is sharp-edged and closed off, hiding more than he lets on. Asher is easygoing, but there's a weight behind his smile. And Foxface? He's a storm waiting to break-reckless, distant, and tangled in something Benjamin doesn't yet understand. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, bonds form in ways none of them expect. But in a place where loyalty is tested and escape is impossible, caring for someone can be just as dangerous as crossing the wrong person. And Benjamin is about to learn that the hardest part of surviving isn't the school-it's letting people in.
