High school is hard enough without having your sworn rival in every single class. And trust me, Noah Carter makes sure I never forget it. He's loud, cocky, and annoyingly good-looking-not that I'd ever admit that out loud. We've been competing since day one, whether it's test scores, basketball games, or even who can run faster to the cafeteria line. But lately... things have felt different. The insults don't sting as much. The eye-rolls turn into stares that last a little too long. And now, I'm starting to wonder-what happens if the person I hate most is the one I want most?

tangled up in blue
If there's one thing that's certain in Noah Quinn's life, it's that he absolutely hates Jace Jackson. Like, all consuming, burning, passionate hatred. While Noah and his best friend Lee are pretty much nobodies, Lee's bad boy older brother Jace is practically royalty. All cigarette smoke, hard edges, and angry brown eyes, the eldest Jackson brother was Noah's natural opposite. So much so, that he had made it his duty to ruin the younger boys life; until Noah becomes the thing that unravels his. After his family get into an accident, Noah has no choice but to move in with his best friend and the older brother that hates him more than anyone. But while he buries his trauma, Jace fights his demons alone. So after a few drunken mistakes, prank wars and shared bedsheets later, will the line between hate and love start to thin? Will the two stay enemies? Or will Noah be the one to break down the cold, hard walls, that Jace so desperately tries to keep up?

The Edge of Resentment
"They say hate is just love in disguise. But some kinds of hate cut too deep... don't they?" Jackson and Logan never expected college to be easy. Being visibly queer-femboys, loud and proud-has always meant stares, whispers, and worse. But they never expected Isaac, the new guy with a Southern drawl and a chip on his shoulder, to make them feel like high school never ended. He's bigoted, brash, and painfully closed off. He's also stuck in their collage building, sharing classes with the two And unfortunately for everyone, the universe isn't done being cruel. Enter Dallas-Isaac's mirror in all the worst ways. And Liam, another femboy who doesn't believe in staying silent. As tensions boil and identities clash, something unexpected begins to form in the cracks of resentment: understanding, vulnerability... maybe even desire. Slow burn. Queer rage. Messy healing. Tension you could cut with a knife. Enemies don't stay enemies forever, do they?Complete

Now, years later, the same game throws them back into each other's lives when Ethan unexpectedly transfers to Noah's school.
