Alex has never lived a normal life. For as long as he can remember, it's been just him, his older brother Dare, and Dare's best friend Viktor-moving from town to town, never staying long enough to put down roots. Motel rooms and back roads are the closest thing he has to home.
When Dare takes a long-term construction job, Alex finally gets the chance to spend a whole year in one place. For the first time, he goes to school, makes friends, and begins to wonder what he's been missing. But the stability he's always wanted comes with a price: the risk of being discovered, judged, or even torn away from the only family he's ever had.
As Alex struggles to balance the life he wants with the life he has, tragedy forces him to face questions he's not ready to answer-and Dare and Viktor to confront the choices that have kept them running for so long.
On Our Own is a coming-of-age story about family, friendship, and the painful truth that sometimes love isn't enough to make things okay.

Color Outside the lines
Non-binary artist Alex has always found refuge in art, a silent language for the self they're afraid to show. When Principal Harrison offers a mural commission with suffocating rules, Alex sees a chance to finally speak, subtly embedding coded messages against the outdated establishment. But this quiet rebellion only deepens Alex's isolation, fracturing a vital friendship with Maya, and drawing the unsettling attention of perceptive peer Jamie, who seems to understand the hidden truths. As Harrison's surveillance tightens and the unwritten social codes of their generation prove just as confusing, Alex is forced to choose: remain guarded and alone, or risk everything for authentic connection. What begins as a whispered act of defiance escalates into an audacious movement, testing Alex's courage, challenging deep-seated fears, and demanding a vulnerability they never thought possible. Can Alex navigate the treacherous landscape of self-expression to finally paint their true colors, even if it means losing everything?
Foster Brother |BXB|✓
COMPLETED!! Warning: This story contains mature LGBT+ themes! If you are not into this kind of thing I would not recommend this story, unless of course, you want to broaden your horizons! Foster Brother follows the life of Matt Palmer, a selectively closeted gay teenager. His home life becomes shaken up when his parents introduce him to his new foster brother, Owen Green. Matt has always been a happy-go-lucky teenaged boy, content with his friends, his family and the path his life is currently on. His only real problem is gaining the courage to come out to everyone he knows that he is gay. Owen, however, could not be more of an opposite. Owen's life has had its fair share of hardships that he has had to overcome mostly all on his own. Family is a foreign word and friends are only around for as long as he's in a foster home. Things only seem to brighten up slightly when he is placed in the care of the Palmer Family.Concluida
Starting With You
Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**Concluida

Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
