Home for the Summer (BOYXBOY)
Apollo Quinn is entering the summer before his senior year with one promise to himself; He needs to truly live. After 17 years of being miserably bored, he planned on finally finding himself. Maybe getting a girlfriend, maybe going to a party. No matter what he did, it needed to be big: Something utterly life changing. The only issue? Nicolas Young. While 5 years ago, Apollo and Nicolas had been best friends, these days, they never spoke. Nicolas lived across the country and Apollo was a bit too stubborn to reach out. When Apollo's mom let him know that Nicolas would have to fly from Vermont to California and spend the entire summer in their house, Apollo knew he was doomed. What he didn't account for was how utterly life changing their new friendship would become. 🌊🌊🌊 90,880 words Some content may be upsetting to certain readers!

The Real Fix
I didn't plan on falling in love with Chris. I didn't plan on failing classes, sitting through awkward family dinners, or watching one of my best friends spiral into a mess I can't fix. This isn't a story about neat solutions or happy-ever-afters. It's about good days that end too soon, bad days that feel too heavy, and the messy in-betweens when you're just trying to breathe. There's no magic cure. No perfect answer. But maybe the real fix isn't about silencing the pain-it's about finding the people who make you want to keep going.Complete
