First Love
Lin Yichen was once someone people expected greatness from-until one accident shattered everything. Now eighteen, he lives in the shadow of a family that only sees failure: a perfect older brother, a brilliant younger sister, and parents who believe depression is nothing more than weakness. Haunted by the death of his best friend, Shen Yu, and carrying scars no one bothers to notice, Yichen drifts through life one painful day at a time, convinced that disappearing might be easier than staying. Then he meets Jiang Beichen. A senior with a reckless smile, a skateboard beneath his feet, and a strange habit of seeing through the walls Yichen spent years building. What begins as chance encounters slowly turns into something neither of them expected-a fragile bond built on silence, grief, and the painful process of learning how to live again. But healing is never simple. Not when the past refuses to stay buried. Not when guilt still whispers louder than hope. And not when loving someone means risking the kind of loss that once destroyed you. Sometimes, all it takes is one hand reaching back- to pull you from the edge.

Ryan Navarro traveled eleven hundred miles to the one place he swore he wouldn't go. Gavin left to escape their father's escalating psychological abuse and never came back. No calls. No explanations. Just silence, and a new life Ryan was never invited into. Now Ryan's on his brother's doorstep, bruised, furious, and nowhere else to go, wanting to hate Gavin and needing him anyway. Reconnecting should be simple. It isn't. Because the closer they get, the more the past resurfaces, and Ryan's temper threatens to burn the only second chance he's got. And Gavin is forced to face past mistakes and fears. But as the brothers push through the distance and the old wounds, they start to uncover the truth neither of them expected. They didn't just survive the same man. They became more alike than they ever knew. And their bond grew to depths neither of them knew they both needed. Will their fathers return ruin that bond, or strengthen it? This is a transformation story so you're not going to get perfect characters. In the beginning they are distant and this story is how they both change and grow together again. If you don't like seeing rough ugly characters in the beginning, then watch them change throughout this probably isn't the story for you. *Disclaimer this story does contain emotional, psychological, and physical abuse by a father. MxF relationships and family focused
