[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.

Anyone But Her by LorPhoenix

Wren and Kenna hated each other in high school. Now mature-ish adults, they still hate each other. The problem? They're engaged. A year away from marriage, according to two of the most powerful people in the world: their parents. ***** Wren Castile and Kenna Gold are engaged...because their parents say so (and no, they're not kidding). Wren has one year to marry her former nemesis, or else. The fact that Kenna emulated her infamously anti-gay father throughout high school seems to be irrelevant--even to Kenna herself. Suddenly Wren and the girl she never wanted to see again are on the same (bickering) side as they face mandatory dates, disastrous family get-togethers, and their unhappy past. Wren is filled with mistrust, but to protect her heart, she might just have to sit back and let it lead the way. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains references to and/or scenes of homophobia, childhood trauma, bullying, violence, and suicide.

Meeting your soulmate has seemed easy enough for most of the wolves that Reyna knows. But what happens if she's not searching for love and just wants to have a little bit of fun? Why should anyone get a say in how she gets to live her life? And what happens when she discovers a truth that has been hidden for centuries... *** Reyna has been shunned, mistreated, and called a liar by all the people in her life who were meant to love her. But what happens when she chooses to take matters into her own hands? I can guarantee it'll be steamy...

Drawing the Ace by MyriamRow

A chronically single virgin in her late twenties, Yasmine Sarraf is tired of being questioned on her lacking relationship status. Yaz has next to zero interest in dating, in finding herself a partner... But the continuous failure of meeting her friends and family's expectations is exhausting. When the boyfriend conversation comes up one too many times, without much thought, pressured by the instinct to follow social norms, Yasmine agrees to a competition. Her erratic friend group is to compete in the attainment of her future partner. Faced with countless blind dates, Yasmine feels like she's living a nightmare. From awkward near virginity losses, running away from dick, bathroom dashes and the creation of a fake boyfriend to please her mother, she deeply regrets agreeing to the competition. As she persists to find love and grows closer to her fake boyfriend, Oliver, Yasmine begins to understand her sexuality.

Mask of Celibacy by Carolyn_Hill

In the late nineties asexuality is all but ignored as an orientation. Jess doesn't understand her complex array of emotions or why she finds it so hard to relate to her fellow classmates. Catholic high schools and churches simply don't address the issue, and the internet is still nascent. Jess can't tell anyone the truth. Not even her best friend Care. Instead, she hides behind the guise of faith. Behind a mask of celibacy. Until she meets Eric, that is. He lets slip that he's asexual, and Jess wants to learn more. --- Watty Winner 2021 for best cover, best YA, and the Wattpad Books prize! --- Status: completed and unedited Rating: PG-15 for moderate language and frank discussions about sexuality Genre: teen fiction romance featuring two heteroromantic ace characters --- Cover designed using Canva Pro August 2020 --- Please note: This work is a teen fiction novelization of my multimedia novella "Mask of Celibacy".

Human by IndigoJewel

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?
