**Updated Weekly**

What happens when two boys - who don't look the same from the outside - collide? 

One is popular, well-liked and has a bright future ahead of him. 

One is a loner, bullied and is raised in a poorer part of town. 

Two different worlds, two different boys. 

However, what is seen from the outside isn't always the truth. Secrets - big ones - threaten to tear each boy apart and the only solace they have from their ugly truths is each other. 

But their blossoming friendship turns out to be their biggest secret yet ...

"Your whole worth," she said slowly, "is not even close to my price." ______________________________________ "Possession isn't optional... it's destiny." He is the King of Rajasthan-powerful, feared, and untouchable. She is the girl no one ever noticed... until fate threw them together. In a world of royal expectations, family secrets, and dangerous rivals, their hearts collide, igniting a passion neither expected. But can love survive when every glance, every decision, and every secret is under scrutiny? Will Arisha win the king's heart... or will the shadows of the past tear them apart before their story even begins?

Danny and Olivier by PsychedelicMoose
29 parts Complete
It's them against the world- even if they don't know it yet. Danny’s mute. He’s anorexic, he’s rich, he wears all black, he loves his music. He's a closet gay. He’s extremely self-conscious and hides from reality. Olivier’s deaf. He’s dirt-poor, he’s constantly hungry, he wears his clothes from the Salvation Army. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him, and he might as well wear a shirt that states that he likes guys. But they have three things in common: their love of poetry, peppermint mochas, and most importantly, their love for each other. No one ever said that loving your polar opposite would be easy.

Love U Max Ellis (bxb) ✔️ by Iris-hope
67 parts Complete
A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis. He had one job: slip a love letter into locker 166 and finally confess to Kate Ellis - the cool, untouchable cheerleader of his teenage dreams. Instead, it ends up in locker 168. Which belongs to Max Ellis - Kate's twin brother. Broody. Quiet. Star football player. Definitely not the person Oliver was supposed to fall for. And the worst part? Since that day, Max Ellis has been way too interested in Oliver Grant - showing up, sitting too close, smiling like he knows exactly what he's doing. The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.
