He's the boy everyone relies on, but nobody really sees. Patrick Feely has spent a lifetime being exactly what everyone needs him to be.
A loyal friend. A dependable teammate. A devoted son.
But beneath the easy smiles and unwavering loyalty is a boy carrying burdens he never talks about and dreams he's no longer sure belong to him, and the only person who seems to notice is Katie.
Katie Wilmot knows what it feels like to be forgotten. Abandoned by the people who were supposed to love her most, she's spent years trying to earn the affection that always seemed to come so easily to everyone else. Hidden behind good grades and practiced smiles is a girl fighting battles nobody sees and desperately trying to convince herself she's enough.
As their friendship begins to blur into something deeper, they're forced to confront the fears they're running from.
Katie is terrified he'll leave. Patrick is terrified he'll stay for everyone except himself. And what's between them has been waiting far too long to be ignored.

She wants 𝙋𝙖𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙮 with a desperation that makes her lungs ache, but she's terrified of the crash. She sees the boy drowning in a bottle and the hollow warmth of too many girls. To Katie, loving a drunk feels like a slow way to die, and she's already halfway there. So, she runs straight into the arms of 𝙃𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙞𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙨, Patrick's best friend.

He's a wreck of nicotine and cheap whiskey, forced to watch the girl he'd burn the world for settle for a boy who doesn't even know she's shattering. He loves Hugh like a brother, but he loves Katie with his entire being. Every time he sees them together, it's a fresh cut to a soul that's already scarred over. He hides his shaking hands in his pockets and his heart behind meaningless flings, too cowardly to admit that his fear of commitment is just a fear of being the reason she finally breaks. He's the boy who wants her but can't reach her, trapped in a silence where the only thing more addictive than the drink is the sight of her loving someone else. It's the devastating math of three hearts that don't add up: a girl too scared to be loved, a boy too drunk to be chosen, and a friend caught in the middle who doesn't realize he's holding the only thing that could save them both. ✮ Timeline: 2003-2007

Fixing 9 - Tadhg Lynch & Bethany Gibson
Everyone remembers the Lynch fire. Everyone remembers the bodies carried out. But no one remembers the boy left standing in the middle of it all. Tadhg Lynch isn't the golden Lynch boy. He isn't the baby who got shielded from the worst, or the oldest who carved a new life with a family of his own. He's the one in between. The one who saw everything, took the blows meant for his younger brothers, and carried scars no one wanted to look too closely at. Brave. Bold. Mouthy. A joker when he can manage it. And broken enough that nothing ever really sticks. Bethany Gibson is the girl who shouldn't have lived. She was three when the water took her under, when her father gave his life to save hers. She grew up in the shadow of grief, wrapped in the protection of a brother who bled for her in ways she only half understands. Sweet, funny, too kind for her own good-Bethany knows what it is to survive, but not yet what it means to live. When Bethany collides with Tadhg at Tommen, it's fire meeting oxygen-sharp words, sharp looks, a pull neither of them can shake. He's crude, cruel with his jokes, too much for anyone to handle. She's soft where he's jagged, sunshine where he's ash. He calls her Barbie. She calls him an arsehole. And somewhere between the laughs and the fights, they start to see the cracks in each other. But fixing what's shattered isn't simple. Not when trauma festers. Not when grief never loosens its grip. Not when love means putting your hands into the fire all over again. Funny. Raw. Heartbreaking. Fixing 9 is a story about the girl who wouldn't stop caring, the boy who didn't know how to be cared for, and the brutal, beautiful mess of trying to save each other when the world already tried to burn or drown you alive.

What happens when Tommen College brings them together?

If anyone wants any fanfictions of katiefeely. Here it is. These characters do not belong to me. All the rights for the characters go to the author Chloe Walsh.
Reckless 8 - Rory Kavanagh
Rory Kavanagh carries himself like someone who learned early how to be dependable - broad shoulders, steady hands, and eyes that are far gentler than he lets the world see. He doesn't speak just to fill silence; he watches, listens, steps in quietly when it matters. There's something grounding about him, something safe. The kind of boy who would stand a little closer in a crowd, who would notice when someone's smile doesn't quite reach their eyes. People see strength when they look at him. They don't realise how easily his heart gives itself once it decides someone is worth protecting. Eilidh Flanagan feels everything too deeply and hides it far too well. She has her father's eyes - honest, expressive, impossible to guard for long - and a spine forged from learning not to need anyone. She moves through the world like she expects it to leave her behind, chin lifted, shoulders squared. But when she laughs - really laughs - it changes her. Softens her. Warms her. There's a quiet kind of bravery in loving someone when you've convinced yourself you don't deserve to be loved at all. A second gen of Boys of Tommen! All original characters obviously belong to Chloe Walsh but I hope you enjoy my ideas!
Unravelling You - Boys Of Tommen
Leah was lucky. After a lifetime of poverty, her and her mother were saved. She had new clothes, a new house, a fancy new school, a new step father, and everything she had ever lacked. But as it too often is, everything was too good to be true. Yes, her private school uniform is pristine but the bruises that lie underneath tell a different story. But she can hide it, she just has to get through this year, and then she can be free, but everything starts to unravel when she meets a boy. At age twelve, Tadhg was saved. He got out of that haunted house. He had adoptive parents that adored him, his siblings were happy, and he was finally safe. So why did he still feel this way? Why was he still on edge after all these years? He should be thriving like his brothers and his sister, and yet he wasn't. He was numb to it all, until he met her. She unraveled him. This is a Boys of Tommen fan fiction, following Tadhg Lynch and Leah Daly. This story is the third instalment in my 'Boys of Tommen You Series' and is connected to my other two stories, 'Seeing You' and 'Haunting You' but are not required to read before this one. Also I'll start updating this story once I finish 'Haunting You' All of these characters belong to Chloe Walsh, I do not claim any of them as my own, this is purely for fun. As there is not much information surrounding Tadhg and Leah's story, I won't be following any canon, and Leah's story will be entirely created by me. TW: This story will include character death(flashbacks), domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug addiction, smoking, mental illnesses and overall a lot of trauma. There will also be some explicit scenes that are 16+. I will however be putting specific warnings for different chapters, so you can avoid triggers. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! (Comment any questions or suggestions that you have for me)Complete
