Pain is a Blessing
Seventeen-year-old River has spent his entire life hiding-his identity, his grief over losing his father, and behind sarcasm, podcasts, and distance to keep anyone from getting too close.
A fresh start in a new town is supposed to be exactly that-a chance to disappear into the background and begin again.
Instead, he meets Caleb.
Confident, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, Caleb has an unsettling habit of seeing straight through the walls River has spent years building. As their friendship grows into something neither of them can deny, River is forced to confront a truth far greater than the one he's been so desperate to protect.
Because some secrets aren't meant to stay buried.
And sometimes the pain you've spent your whole life running from is the very thing that leads you home.
Pain is a Blessing is a young adult paranormal romance about grief, identity, found family, and discovering that the parts of ourselves we fear most may become our greatest strength.

Knowing Me, Knowing You
The one who is constantly lying. The one who is constantly hiding. The one who has to lie. The one who has to hide. The one who knows to let go. And the one who is afraid to let go. High school tends to be cruel to those who go against the natural order of what is considered cool and what isn't. It's why Carter Knowles and Xander Quinn always felt the need to hide their love of ABBA music from their peers. After all, if the scary goth girl and the popular jock swimmer were both open about their love for the Swedish pop group, no one would take them seriously anymore. When one day brings these two unlikely friends together, they unknowingly begin to unravel the lives of the people closest to them. It soon becomes obvious that no one really knows each other the way they thought they did, but everyone is about to learn more about each other whether they're ready for them to know or not. *Trigger warning for violence **All chapter titles are named after ABBA songs, but the songs itself don't always represent what's in the chapter. Sometimes, the title is just fitting.Concluída
Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Concluída
Plan Of Seduction
"I hate you - so much Tripp." More confusion because, once more, wasn't this a good thing? "Why did you have to say that? What if," A little quieter, just above a whisper. "What if we mess up our friendship?" "But what if we don't?" "You don't know that," I bumped his nose with my finger. "And neither do you. So, why don't we give it a shot?" He bit down on his bottom lip, hesitation and worry filling his gaze. __ This is literally a story that follows the plot of two best friends realizing their feelings for each other, yes, I know, very cliche, but I enjoyed writing it. There will be mature LGBT+ content, so if you don't want to read those chapters or this story, skip it.

Love... Not Romance [BoyxBoy]
Everything started the night before we moved out of our town. I decided to take a late night swim at the lake I love the most. It was sort of a goodbye, a way to somehow wash the pain brought about by my parents' divorce, but then he appeared. As I was floating in the lake, watching the moon and the stars, I heard a noise in the water, and as I turned my head, I saw this guy drowning. I saved him, I brought him back to life, and then... I kissed him and fell in love with him. Things changed after that one stolen kiss. I ran away, and I never thought that I would see him once again, but I did. Little did I know that the moment we meet again, my life would never be the same. This is a story, of how I learn what love really is, of how I came to accept it, of how I came to fight for it. This is not a story about romance. It's way more than that. This is a story where love, family, and little bit of mystery collides. This is a story about my love.Concluída![Levels [boyxboy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/125205811-256-k798478.jpg)

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓
I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.
