Just four twenty-something year-old guys -- all penniless and sarcastic and music lovers -- living together in london in the 90s and trying to make the best out of what were supposed to be the best years of their lives. "Those soaring twenties," people love to call it. 

They were peeled to the bone, the four of them, and they pointed fingers at each other when something broke and needed replacement, and when the bill arrived at the end of the month they accused each other of having taken long showers or having left the lights on, but no matter how tough life could get, between laughs, insults, beers, and the occasional joint, they knew they would be okay.All Rights Reserved

Always You by Octobermoonbl

"Daniel Morgan, you can spew as much bullshit you want. But I won't allow you to control me. I'm done being a puppet and I don't plan to be one for you." "But darling, you will be. Soon enough. I'll pull your strings and you'll dance to my rhythm," Friends with benefits is what they were. Husbands is what they will be. Years apart couldn't erase the memory of stolen nights and silent goodbyes. Now bound by vows instead of lust, Daniel and Ryan are forced to face the emotions they once left unspoken. One is forced in the arrangement. And the other arranged the arrangement. Love was never part of the deal back then. But maybe, this time, it's the only thing that can hold them together. Tags - Friends with benefits - Morally grey male lead - Enemies To Lovers - Arrange Marriage - Time leap - Angst - Mature content - Homosexuality - Boy romance - Possessive-obsessive behaviour - Toxic behaviour - Happy Ending - Slow burn There maybe grammatical mistakes as english isn't my first language.

Settling Slowly by AbigailGranger

2015 rolled in with a bang, and it did not have the grace to gift me with a social life that everyone in a one hundred year radius would be jealous of or that is even just the talk of the town. Instead I got myself into a complicated relationship which wasn't much talked about, a relationship that I didn't get into is talked about all the time and university is around the figurative corner. That is where you can factor in people I suppose I should call 'fans', the fascination that comes in with cutlery, pots, pans and other formerly boring things. But let us not forget that my parents are finally getting married and Mum can't shop for lace without me wanting to kill her, add in a dose of sleepless nights, invigorating kisses - which have nothing to do with the sleepless nights and a lot to do with nightmares - Harriet not knowing the meaning of the words "you're done" and Ice Ice Baby is still a thing. We're all growing up (except Dad who will still make inappropriate jokes at every inappropriate moment, some to do with what cannot be done when you're wearing a plaster cast) and holidays are being planned though some are less holiday and more a mad dash to find somewhere to live out in the big wide world without our parents. Life might be moving on, but I still go to McDonald's late at night with my friends. Some things at least don't change. Sequel to: Falling Fast Complete

Sailing With Destiny by Bookworm_Tina

"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you." He pursed his lips, clenched his jaw, and stared at me with darkened eyes before he closed the gap between us. I stared at him squarely as I felt his body heat radiated off me, my lips parted and my breathing picked up a notch. He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed." He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, "Don't take my love for you as weakness," he stated and captured my lips with a fiery kiss. The road to love for Mila and Mitchell wasn't easy, but they finally reached their destination after many bumps along the way. Blissfully in love, they set off on another journey together but instead of the Highway, they hit the high seas. However, love and life aren't always smooth sail and they learn that when they embark on their adult life after college. Mitchell is trying to prove to his father he is worthy of handling the grand Clarke Empire one day while Mila is determined to make her mark in the medical world. Two strong personalities have finally accepted they love each other but both are set in their ways and stubborn with unbreakable egos. Can their love weather storms in their path or will things like jealousy, insecurity, and family stand in their way to happily ever after?

The Boy Next Door by isabellehopeee

Something hit the side of my laptop screen and fell onto the floor. It was a paper airplane. There was a message written inside. "You look pretty hot in a towel. You should wear that more often." -Colton I was shocked when I read the note. I looked out my open window to see a guy sitting on the edge of the window of the house next door. He was looking right at me. _____________ At the start of Rachel Summers' senior year of high school, new neighbors move in next door. One of these neighbors is Colton Miller, who is also a high school senior. First impressions can say a lot about a person. Colton learns this the hard way when he first meets Rachel. Starting out on an unpleasant note, Rachel and Colton must learn how to accept each other for who they are, as they are forced to spend time with each other. This marks the beginning of their story and all they will encounter together. ---------------- *Some Mature Themes*

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.
