DARKSKIN, STRONG SOUL by Leratduquarrier09

Bullying was my life-physical attacks, cruel insults, and racist jokes-just because I was born with dark skin. It became a daily reality, a lifestyle I couldn't escape, until she came into my life and showed me the way to freedom."

Trying to Escape Poverty by charliekobsy

For Phillip, getting a college degree is the only way to escape poverty. But school-life balance is not as easy as he imagined, especially for students on financial aid like him. When his High school sweetheart, Zizile, succumbs to the FOMO that most girls in college have to deal with, he has no choice but to ask his drug-dealing childhood friend, Sean, to get him into the game. But he got into a much more complicated and dangerous business than he had imagined. Will he finish college and create a better life for himself like he imagined?

Madame Williams ( teacherxstudent ) by florenciawrites

WILL BE UNPUBLISHED BY THE END OF AUGUST 2025. The trauma of the death of her best friend makes her change completely, to the point she becomes a darker version of herself and someone that seemed insignificant in her past comes back to change her life. (Teacher x student) (NSFW 18+ scenes)

The Flames of the Wild Fyre [Complete✔] by PiscesPleasure

[My nubile body ripened with lustful desire for every inch of this Seraph of a being. Finalizing our orally initiated bliss he steps back as his nimble fingers gracefully prance across the fleshy meadows of my thighs. My orbs soaking up the beautiful illustration of Maverick before me. My blood rushing through my body like Grand Rapids, drowning out any argument to stop, slow, or refrain from fully engaging his scrumptious body with mine. His black sweat pants gracefully serving my greedy eyes every inch of his swaying appendage, like a waiter serving the finest hors d'oeuvres. I willingly accept, being the only guest in attendance. "I missed you mama." Lust and desire threaded through his words like a needle and thread through the finest of silks.] Fuck a get even in New York we one up a bitch. When you try to hold us down we claw our way to the top. "Get it how you live", our famous motto in the concrete jungle. Almost broken by the death of her parents and rape by a foster brother, Lyric Fyre knows all too well the struggle of the concrete jungle. Catapulted into the life of a stick-up girl, a hustler, and college student; juggling immeasurable responsibilities and secrets. Come along as Lyric braves the trials and tribulations life throws at her. Along for her wild journey of self-exploration are her best friends, new family, and possible love of her life. Will Lyric allow her circumstances to break her or will she be the rose that grows from the concrete? Will she be burned by her past or will she be the wild Fyre that consumes everything in her path? #1 Black Love of 8.2k 3/2/21 #1 Perseverance of 1k 12/18/23 #7 College Love of 741 3/10/21 #8 Black Girl Magic of 1.82k 12/21 #16 Strong Women of 1.05k 3/8/21 #57 Survival of 39.1k 3/10/21 #13 Erotice Romance of 9.31k 7/4/21 #1 BlackWomanBlackMan of 1.18k 5/2022
