Fraying follows two boys.
Nathaniel Everett lives in a house that suffocates you with silence. The recent death of his father lingering in the air of their hollow house.
Harry Beckett lives in a house where calmness is never an option. When even locked doors don't feel safe, his only sanctuary was his little sister-Suzie.
When the two boys are reunited by the start of the new school year, hatred flares, so do fists - but so does something else neither of them expected: understanding.
This is a story of grief, unexpected feelings, love and pain.
When you lean on something too often it fractures over time, one small tap can shatter the whole thing, everybody's human.

(Completed)✨ Jules Wilder came to Evergreen Academy Boarding School to start over. Not to end up sharing a dorm with Nathan Talon-quiet, guarded, and the kind of beautiful that makes it hard to think straight. She's trying to forget the past. He wants nothing to do with anyone. But between late-night talks, unexpected softness, and the kind of connection neither of them planned for, the walls they've built start to crumble. As Jules begins to find her footing, long-buried questions and quiet truths start rising to the surface. Forcing her to face more than just her feelings for the boy she definitely wasn't expected to catch feelings for. Falling Into Place is a story about healing, connection, and figuring out who you are-even when everything around you is a little bit of a mess. ________________________________ Tropes: ~boarding school 🏫 ~slow burn 🔥 ~roommates to lovers 🩷 ~self discovery 💡 ~mystery¿ 🔍 ~no smut ❌ ~complicated families 🧑🧑🧒Complete

What Pulls and Takes [Tyler Hernández]
Tyler Hernández x GN!reader -- ' I've not been needy for much in my life... but, when I heard you say my name in a palpable honey tone, All I have craved is you ever since. ' -- 𝐘/𝐍 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬. The introverted older sibling to the even-more introverted Logan Fields. It wasn't always like that though; for there was a time when Y/N was a bundle of light wherever they went. Though, after a trip to Greece when they were twelve-years-old, they returned... faded and ghostly quiet. As if they had experienced something no child should. Not many people chose to question what happened to the sweet child. They only had to accept that Y/N was a loner now; cutting all interesting ties with friends and social outings. 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚́𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐳. The cynical jock who tends to carry his head so high, he fails to notice people can see behind his mask from below. Rumours of his father's passing arose when he and his twin sister, Taylor, were seven years old; and he was never the same after that. All extra energy to play turned into more time for studying; all house chores were suddenly in his list without much time to spare. You'd never guess the Hispanic boy with anger issues to be a light refusing to burn out underneath the table of priorities. Well, what happens when Y/N and Tyler hate each other from the start? What will they do when the person that annoyed them the most, start to make the two smile and laugh like no other? They've managed to avoid their pasts for so long; but, they'll have to acknowledge it sooner rather than later when they get stuck in a dimension with their group partners for a history project. Who knew running from monsters who seemingly want to kill you every night, isn't just fiction like television? -- DISCLAIMER: - all proper credit for said characters and story goes to Lilredbeany on WEBTOON. - This story contains strong mentions of death, murder, blood/gore, anxie
