In 2019, broccoboi and hushwave met on a chat app where no one used real names or photos-just words, timing, and late-night comfort.

By 2022, life pulled them apart.

Three years later, Lunt logs back in-new job, same broccoboi-hoping to find something, or someone. He messages lowtide, a stranger who oddly reminds him of a guy he once knew. What he doesn't realize is that "lowtide" is "hushwave" and he remembers everything.

In a world of anonymous usernames and buried feelings, what happens when the person you miss is already talking to you... just not as the version you remember?

A Bad Pair [BoyXBoy] by 1sth1saUsername
72 parts Complete Mature
What happens when the boy known for fighting everyone and anyone starts to fight for you? What happens when the artist who hides behind his masterpieces, starts to see you on his canvases? Gray and Axel meet by chance, unaware of the tidal waves they are causing in the other's life. Both stuck in their own lives, cold and always alone, they begin to find warmth with each other. Their hands keep finding their ways to each other- behind closed doors, in the dark, under the table. Once their walls start to crack, there's no going back and there's no pretending it means nothing. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Don't- don't touch me like that," he breathed out. I blinked at him. Is he angry? In pain? "Like what?" "fucking...gently," he seethed. "Why?" I peered at him, pressing my hand to his other cheek. I just needed him to look at me. I didn't care if it was wrong. "Because I'll... I'll fucking break," he barked, lips trembling under his confession. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 🏅 #1- bxblove- Nov 16, 2025 🥇 #1- gay romance- Nov 19, 2025🥇 #1- tattoos- Oct 22, 2025🥇 #1- delinquent- Nov 6, 2025🥇 #1- trauma- Dec 1, 2025 🥇 #1- family problems- Dec 1, 2025 🥇 #2- bisexual- Nov 18, 2025 🥈 #2- high school experience- Nov 26, 2025🥈 #2- boyxboyromance- Oct 19, 2025🥈 #2- love- Nov 17, 2025🥈 #3- boyxboy- Nov 28, 2025🥉 #6- artist- Nov 26, 2025 #6- gayness- Nov 17, 2025 #9- bad boy- Nov 26, 2025 #18- friends to lovers- Nov 30, 2025 #20- gay fiction- Nov 18, 2025 #25- fluffandsmut- Oct 17, 2025 #26- first love- Nov 26, 2025 #28- romance- Nov 26, 2025 #29- teen romance- Nov 17, 2025
WISHBONE: Chords & Collars by Briareil
94 parts Complete
Boy meets boy. Boy mocks boy. Boy falls (a little too hard). Dior Max is all sharp edges and smoother fabrics-stylish, strategic, and emotionally unbothered. Or so he pretends. Brix Julian is a walking headache with a guitar: smug, loud, and alarmingly good at sending the wrong message. They argue. They prank. They lock eyes for too long in crowded hallways. It's not flirting-it's war. Obviously. But somewhere between the teasing and tension, Dior starts collecting hope-one red paper heart at a time. Every mixed signal? Folded. Stored. Counted. He'll confess when the jar is full. Because maybe, just maybe, Brix means it. SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't. Turns out the signals were smoke, the crush was one-sided, and the heartbreak? Custom-tailored. Chords vs. Collars. Gloss meets grit. A stylish slow-burn that stings where it shouldn't. Because the cruelest crushes don't break-they hum. ___________// ⚠ gentle heads-up! This story explores sensitive themes such as homophobia, emotional trauma, misunderstandings, and the use of strong language. Please read with care and kindness to yourself. Your heart and well-being matter most. ♡ (Note: This story is currently a work in progress and may include typos or little grammar hiccups. Thank you for your patience and love!) 🧵🎸 just a tiny disclaimer: This story is fictional. Some scenes are inspired by real moments I experienced in junior high, and a few characters are loosely based on old friends. But everything else names, places, events is purely imagined. Any similarities are purely coincidental. This is a personal story, a metaphor for a forbidden love I once had. If it feels familiar or cliché, that's not intentional. This story is mine. 🫶🏻

Like a bolt of lightning, this stupid boy appeared in my life. First day of summer break between first and second grade, he just appeared- standing on my porch like he was born there. Straight brown hair, wide dark eyes and a fresh sunburn across his cheeks. He was already talking before I even opened the door. I don't know how it happened but it's been ten years. And he's still here. Talking, whether or not I'm listening. Laughing, even if no one else is. He's still too quick- racing around the world like he's scared he's going to miss it. He's gotten taller...much taller. His hair is a little longer, a little wavier, but under the light it still looks the same golden brown it did when we were nine. And now, finally, he was a high school graduate. We both were. Like a bolt of lightning he appeared and like the sun he refused to disappear. _____________________________________________ I fell asleep with my chin pointed at him, the outline of his face being the last thing I saw. How was I supposed to do this? It had always been difficult, hiding this secret, keeping him close. But now, my focus was starting to slip. I couldn't see anything but his lips, his hands, his smile. I couldn't hear anything but my name in his mouth, his jagged breaths and that loud laugh. How am I supposed to be okay with this? How am I supposed to focus on anything other than him? #1- slowburn- 11.10.25🥇 #1- friends to lovers- 11.01.25🥇 #1- fluffandsmut- 11.02.25🥇 #1- college- 11.06.25🥇 #1- best friends- 11.12.25🥇 #1- teammates- 12.04.25 🥇 #3- bxblove- 11.30.25🥉 #4- boyxboy- 11.01.25 #4- lgbt- 11.15.25 #28- mental health- 11.09.25 #31- coming of age- 11.15.25 #36- roommates- 11.04.25 #56- basketball- 11.05.25 #60- secret relationship- 11.02.25 #74- boyxboyromance- 11.01.25

Lan Zhan is an eighteen year old high school student. He is an introvert and a nerd. His best friend and cousin Lan Sizhui has a new boyfriend. Lan Zhan is angry that his friend is busy elsewhere. Lan Sizhui calls Lan Zhan self centred and unable to form a relationship either now or in the future. Lan Zhan challenges him that he'll have a very fulfilling relationship when he is ready, that is after a college degree and a job. Lan Sizhui challenges him that with his personality no one will be interested in him. Accepting the challenge Lan Zhan sets up an online dating profile for his thirty year old self. Through the profile he meets Wei Wuxian. Wei Wuxian is a thirty five year old father of one. His son lives with him. And is estranged from his wife with whom he has been divorced for ten years. He is a professor of Chemistry at a local college. His colleagues know him as sincere. His students know him as boring. When Wei Wuxian's cousin opens a dating profile for him he is indignant but reckons that he may end up making a friend. A faceless profile interests him and he starts chatting. Wei Wuxian challenges Lan Zhan intellectually and he finds himself desperately craving his messages and phone calls. But Wei Wuxian knows him as a thirty three year old closetted gay man who couldn't get into a relationship because of family constraints. He respects him as a peer and often shares his life struggles with him. Lan Zhan adores being treated as an adult for the first time in his life. They decide to keep their friendship platonic and virtual so as not to corrupt it. What will happen when on the first day of college Lan Zhan finds Wei Wuxian as his Chemistry professor?
