[Newly edited and rewritten!]

Russell is a virtuous goth with a Christian upbringing. Sal is a carefree slack-off who would rather work retail than go to college. It was hate at first sight. Until they were forced to partner up in class. After their true feelings surface, Sal learns just how different he is from Russell, and all seems hopeless. How can their relationship last, if Sal is asexual? And that's not their only problem.

Surprisingly unpredictable, The Riveting Lives of Russell and Sal is about two social outcasts that become the most unlikely couple imaginable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: There is some foul language and adultish themes. Nothing that requires marking this as mature, but I feel it's worth noting anyway.

Winner of the LGBT+ Wattys 2016 for Best Overall Gay Fiction.

Normal? What was normal even Adrian? High school is the time to take it easy before life really hits. Or that's the theory... If he were human. Not only does he have to deal with being the successor of his family's pack, but he's also got to search for his very own soul mate. If that wasn't tough, apparently there's been a series of disappearances that's forcing them to take action. Moving their entire community was one thing, but meeting Aria Kham was another. Intelligent, sassy, and a little bit self-loathing - what's a guy gotta do to make sure she doesn't hate him? And as much as he wants her to be part of his life, what's the price to pay if he tells her?

When Mitzi manages to make friends with the popular girls, Mitzi must hide who she really is and figure out how to still pass voice class without outshining them. Oz is too busy channeling Axl Rose to care whether Mitzi likes him or not.
