Tadgh Lynch doesn't lose focus. He's sharp, volatile, and not here to play nice. First year at Tommen, he's already collecting enemies-and Leah Daly's at the top of the list. Leah Daly's fierce, stubborn, and hiding the kind of damage you don't talk about. She's built for survival, and Tadgh's the last person she wants anywhere near her. She hates him. He hates her. That should've been the end of it. But the more he sees, the more it looks like his history repeating itself. And once he recognises it, walking away isn't an option. Even if saving her burns him all over again.Complete

Brendan Clearly. He was the lad I liked since I was barely out of pigtails, the one who never slagged me off when the rest of the boys thought it was gas. He was different. Always smiling, always asking me if I'd eaten, like some little mammy trapped in a seventeen-year-old fella's body. It sounds stupid, but those tiny things kept me going. And then I went and wrecked it. Not just with him-no, I managed to shatter it with all of them. My friends, the ones who made the halls feel less lonely, the ones who kept me tethered here when the world felt too heavy. Gone. Because of me. Just a mistake, that's all it was, but a mistake that cost me everything. And now when I see him across the yard, laughing with the others, it's like a knife. He doesn't even look my way. And I deserve that, don't I? *** Caoimhe Kavanagh. Once upon a time she was my best mate. The kind of girl you'd sit on a wall with for hours, talking about nothing and everything. She was soft, kind, never the type to go looking for trouble. But now? I hardly recognise her. She's gone cold, sharp, always hanging 'round with that crowd-the type of people you know are only bad news. Ciggies tucked in their sleeves, mouths full of poison. And she's right there in the middle of it, like she belongs to them now. Part of me wants to write her off, tell myself she's not the Caoimhe I knew. That girl's dead and gone. But... I can't. I remember too much. The way she used to laugh, the way she'd defend you even when you were being a gobshite, the way she cared more than she ever let on. That's still inside her, I swear it is. I don't care how hard she tries to hide behind the mask she's wearing now-I know my friend is in there somewhere. And I'll drag her back if I have to. Because she's worth it.Complete
Challenging 8//Tadhg Lynch
When two hurricanes collide, destruction is inevitable. Tadhg Lynch has escaped his traumatic childhood. After losing his parents in a tragic fire, being adopted by the Kavanaghs at twelve gave him and his siblings a chance at a fresh start, a better life. But despite keeping busy with Tommen and Hurley, no one seems to notice that the stubborn, sharp-tongued boy is still trapped in the past. Haunted by nightmares and tormented by endless "what ifs," Tadhg struggles to escape his own mind, masking his pain with harsh words and a defiant attitude. The only person who refuses to back down from his temper is a freckled, headstrong girl in his class who matches his stubbornness blow for blow. Isabell Donnelly is bold, outspoken, and unafraid to give as good as she gets. She can take anything Tadhg throws her way. But beneath her fiery attitude is a girl suffocating under the weight of responsibility, with a mentally unstable mother, a father who can't find financial stability, and two younger sisters looking up to her for guidance. Isabell constantly doubts herself and never feels good enough; she barely has a moment to breathe. They may act like rivals, constantly at each other's throats, but something keeps pulling them together. Whether it's fate, frustration, or the simple fact that they see through each other's masks, neither can seem to walk away. And as much as they fight it, sometimes the person who pushes you the hardest is the one who understands you the most.
Unravelling You - Boys Of Tommen
Leah was lucky. After a lifetime of poverty, her and her mother were saved. She had new clothes, a new house, a fancy new school, a new step father, and everything she had ever lacked. But as it too often is, everything was too good to be true. Yes, her private school uniform is pristine but the bruises that lie underneath tell a different story. But she can hide it, she just has to get through this year, and then she can be free, but everything starts to unravel when she meets a boy. At age twelve, Tadhg was saved. He got out of that haunted house. He had adoptive parents that adored him, his siblings were happy, and he was finally safe. So why did he still feel this way? Why was he still on edge after all these years? He should be thriving like his brothers and his sister, and yet he wasn't. He was numb to it all, until he met her. She unraveled him. This is a Boys of Tommen fan fiction, following Tadhg Lynch and Leah Daly. This story is the third instalment in my 'Boys of Tommen You Series' and is connected to my other two stories, 'Seeing You' and 'Haunting You' but are not required to read before this one. Also I'll start updating this story once I finish 'Haunting You' All of these characters belong to Chloe Walsh, I do not claim any of them as my own, this is purely for fun. As there is not much information surrounding Tadhg and Leah's story, I won't be following any canon, and Leah's story will be entirely created by me. TW: This story will include character death(flashbacks), domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug addiction, smoking, mental illnesses and overall a lot of trauma. There will also be some explicit scenes that are 16+. I will however be putting specific warnings for different chapters, so you can avoid triggers. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! (Comment any questions or suggestions that you have for me)Complete

Ghost in the Halls
Five years after the original Boys of Tommen era, 17-year-old Tadgh Lynch has found his footing. Now in 5th year, he's a solid hurler, surrounded by a close-knit group of lads, and finally experiencing some stability after years of turbulence in the Lynch household. But no matter how much distance he puts between himself and the past, the pain lingers-memories of his childhood, of Shannon's suffering, and of feeling powerless. On the first day of term, Tadgh meets Leah Daly, a sharp, academically gifted 16-year-old who's just skipped a year and transferred into his class. She's younger, brilliant, and immediately rubs him the wrong way-too aloof, too blunt, and too guarded. But what really sets him off is her last name: Daly. The same name as one of Shannon's worst bullies. That alone is enough for Tadgh to write her off. But the more he watches her, the more he notices the cracks in her armor. She's tired all the time. Avoids talking about her family. Shows up to school with suspicious bruises she brushes off with weak excuses. And sometimes, when she thinks no one's looking, she seems completely and utterly lost. When he finds out what's really going on-that Leah is living under the same kind of terror he once did-his perception of her shifts completely. Against his instincts, Tadgh becomes invested. Not just in helping her, but in understanding her. Because Leah isn't just a Daly. She's someone like him-someone surviving. As their bond deepens, Tadgh is forced to confront the parts of his past he's buried. And Leah, too clever and too broken for her own good, must decide whether to let someone in before her situation spirals further. For the record I do not own these characters all rights go to Chloe Walsh. The only characters that belong to be are the characters I create I'm aware I spelt Tadhg wrong but its to late now Hey guys if u liked this story go read my new ongoing fanfic!!!Complete
