When Wilson returns to their small Texas hometown for the summer, old flames between him and Brando reignite-bringing with them all the hope, longing, and complications they tried to leave behind. As they slip into familiar rhythms and stolen moments, the weight of unspoken truths and hidden fears grows heavier. Brando struggles to hold on without losing himself, while Wilson wrestles with choices that could pull them apart forever. Amidst the heat of summer nights and the quiet ache of goodbye, they must confront what love really means-and whether some things are worth fighting for, or letting go.

Summer
Summer is intoxicatingly beautiful and she knows it. Everyone wants to be her. Everyone wants to know her. What no one understands is Summer is not as perfect as she seems. Not by a long shot. And trying to hold it all together is like silently suffocating inside her own head. Until she somehow stumbles into Ace, who is as beautiful as he is cruel. He takes what he wants and doesn't care how he gets it. Pushing people away is what he knows and no one dares to get close enough or else they might get ripped to shreds. Summer doesn't trust Ace. She doesn't want or need him. He's frustrating, stubborn and doesn't care about anyone but himself. But a part of her can't help but feel drawn even as destructive and explosive as he seems to be.Complete

A story about leaving, returning, and everything you almost said. Wilson Webber never meant to come back to Laredo. Not after last summer, not after the postcards, and definitely not after the goodbye that wasn't really a goodbye. But now he's back, older, quieter, wearing Brando Copeland's old brown jacket like a dare. Brando's still the golden boy of their nowhere Texas town, baseball trophies, perfect girlfriend, and a heart full of secrets he's been pretending don't matter. Until Wilson shows up and everything he buried starts clawing its way out. Between late-night bonfires, crumbling friendships, mixtapes that say too much, and a summer that tastes like dust and maybe-love, the past refuses to stay gone. Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't leaving, it's coming home to the person you used to be.

Wilson and Brando have always been insepritable. Ever since they were old enough to understand the concept emotion. When summer rolls around again, its not quite the same. The air is thicker of butterflies in their stomach and a feeling of love they can't quite name, and the blue Texas skies isnt the only thing making their faces beet red.
All the Summers in Between
A story of memory, distance, and finding your way back. Thirteen-year-old Salem is wild, wary, and far too familiar with loneliness. Growing up in a weathered trailer park tucked along the shores of a sleepy lake town in Maine, her days are ruled by her absent mother, her alcoholic father, and the freedom she carves for herself between the pine trees and cracked pavement. Everything changes the summer a wealthy family from New York buys the long-abandoned lakeside manor. With them comes Connell-polite, preppy, and completely out of place. Salem wants nothing to do with him. Neither do the other kids. But Connell, quiet and sincere, doesn't give up. And when Salem finally lets him in, a bond forms-unexpected, magnetic, and lasting. Each summer he returns, and each summer their friendship deepens, tracing the years from adolescence to adulthood in a rhythm all their own. But with Salem's troubled home life threatening to pull her under, and Connell's life of privilege drawing him toward a world far beyond their town, love is never simple. Misunderstandings, mistakes, and the distance of growing up test the fragile thread that ties them together. Still, summer after summer, they find each other. Told in vignettes of sun-drenched days, stolen kisses, and hard truths, All the Summers in Between is a poignant coming-of-age love story about the people who shape us, the places we never forget, and the kind of connection that survives everything in between.

i wrote this song about you
It's the summer after senior year, and everything is changing--especially for Wilson and Brando. They've always been inseparable. But as the long summer days stretch on, something between them begins to shift, and the lines of their friendship start to blur. They don't talk about it--not really. They pretend not to notice the lingering glances hidden between the laughter, the way Wilson's gaze lingers too long when he thinks Brando isn't looking. But Wilson feels it--in the brush of Brando's hand, in the silence that stretches between words. Neither of them knows if the other feels it too... or if saying it out loud would ruin the fragile harmony they share. A slow-burn summer romance about friendship, unspoken feelings, and discovering love where you least expected it. (Inspired by "This Song" by Conan Gray)Complete

He'd known George was small, he was very open about the fact in his teases and chides, but he'd never fully let himself understand their proportions, as the ocean between them was not moving any time soon, so it didn't seem to matter. Now he was faced with the fact that George was really small. Some deep, guttural part of him seemed to like it, too. - Or, in which Dream lets himself indulge in fanworks and realizes a few too many things about both himself and his best friend during his fall.
