Tom Mendicino introduced college-bound Charlie Beresford and high-school baseball hero Kevin “KC” Conroy in KC, At Bat. Now KC is trying to find his way—if he can just figure out where to look…

KC has spent most of his twenty years working his way to the minor leagues. One drunken fight in a Spokane gay club, and he’s thrown it all away. Convinced he can’t return to his former coach’s devoutly Christian household, KC thumbs his way to Seattle. 

If he’s no longer the Mighty KC, destined to have his stats on a Topps trading card, who is he? The loser his mother always warned he would be? An imposter praying in vain for God to change him? Bad luck and a busted nose bring him to Eugene, Oregon, where he finds unlikely friends, work, and even a new purpose. But day by day he’s gaining something else: courage to play from the heart, no matter what the result might be…All Rights Reserved

Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy) by asphericity

Riley Lachkov's life has only ever consisted of one thing - soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't exist, Riley has put on a cold-front for as long as he could remember. Many people think that they know him - a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't give less of a shit about what others think, but deep down, there's a part of him that no one has ever seen. A part of him that he never wants anyone to see. Archer Wilson has got everything going for him. From being at the top of all of his classes, to also being the most popular boy in school, his life is perfect. Everyone who knows Archer can confirm that he is anything but mean - with his charismatic personality, and his ability to make anyone swoon for him, he's the golden boy at Saint Arthur's Preparatory School. When Riley's family immigrated from Russia to the States, he struggles to fit in, finding it difficult to start his entire life over when the only thing he's ever known was his life back in his home country. His closed off personality and his tendency to act like a total douchebag didn't help either - in fact, it just made people want to stay away from him even more. But that doesn't stop Archer from trying. In fact, it makes him more intrigued in this new, feisty transfer student, more keen to break down all the walls that Riley has worked so hard to keep up for his entire life. Archer can't help but praise him for every little thing he does- in his eyes, Riley was an angel. He knew he was whipped the moment he saw him. What happens when Archer, the top student at Saint Arthur's, suddenly begins to develop an interest in the new transfer student, whose personality is as cold as ice? Will Riley finally begin to let him in, or will he continue to push him out, like he's done throughout his entire life? #1 in #gayfiction (12.2.2025) tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

Internal Hatred, Eternal Desire by ValeXiaStarr

Desire and hate aren't as opposing as people think. They can often mix. Kieran Wayne was a very irritated and moody teenager. He was constantly annoyed by all the attention he was always given, due to his striking beauty. However lately he was been extra annoyed with everyone; with soccer getting serious, modeling taking up more time, and senior year activities. But what was really making him so agitated? Ryan King. Ryan king was a friendly and extroverted person. He loves attention and socializing. Even though he should be thinking of only football, his mind does often trace back Kieran. He has hated Kieran forever. He hates how perfect of a life Kieran seems to have, and he especially loathes how Kieran takes it all for granted. After years of a back and fourth war between the two, their hatred final reaches a max. And a new feeling becomes discovered... desire? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ryan had finally realized why Kieran was acting so unusual. Why his hair looked so chaotic. Why he had a deep pink reflecting on his pale skin. Why his eyes were dark and peering through his heavy black eyelashes. Why his breathing was making his whole chest move swiftly up and down. Why his mouth was slightly opened. Why he looked like he was begging for a cavernous desire. All of a sudden there was not even an ounce of hate in Ryan's body. The usual perfect, conceited, model was begging. Or as many would call it ... submitting. This hypnotized Ryan. Ryan wanted to see more of this side from Kieran. He suddenly had the urge to play. He got close to Kieran's ear. With his breath tickling Kieran's skin, he said, "You enjoying this, Wayne?" in a husky voice.
