Crack Black [BxB] by K_M_Victor

Crack Black In the gritty alleys of a nameless city, fate throws together two boys from opposing worlds. Black, a hardened thug with a reputation to uphold, crosses paths with Tony, a rebellious "schoolboy" caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Black saves Tony from a brutal attack by street kids, an unlikely bond is forged. But this is no ordinary friendship. Beneath the bravado and casual insults, feelings begin to stir-confusing, forbidden, and unspoken. Neither is ready to risk everything by crossing the line, afraid of what the other might think, afraid of shattering the fragile connection they've built. As life throws them into chaos, loyalties will be tested, truths will surface, and emotions will rise like smoke in the night. Will Black's tough exterior crack, or will his need to protect his pride and masculinity keep him from something real? And what about Tony-will he break through the walls around Black's heart, or lose himself trying? In a world where love is dangerous and vulnerability is weakness, some bonds might be too risky to hold. Or maybe, they're the only ones worth fighting for.

The tainted ones-each with a unique form of obsession-will stop at nothing to claim their beloved. You are among the untainted, one of the last untouched souls in a world consumed by madness. Hiding is no longer enough. If you want to survive, you must learn how to outsmart those who see love as possession-and who would rather destroy you than let you go.

The Mad People's Dorm by bhavyy_writes

"Mad People's Dorm" is a heartfelt collection of poetry that takes you deep into the emotions and thoughts of someone battling anxiety, betrayal, and inner turmoil. Each poem is a window into a mind that has faced darkness and is striving to find light and hope. In this collection, I explore themes of madness and sanity, the pain of feeling misunderstood, and the struggle to rise above societal expectations. Here's a little overview about a few poems from this poetry collection which consists of 100 poems. "Psychic Intuition" talks about the confusing and hurtful voices in our heads and how they can shape our perceptions. "The Beauty of Masterminds" is a reminder that those who seem fragile are often the strongest, outsmarting those who try to deceive them. "Living Inside the Head" captures the feeling of being trapped in our own minds, finding solace in small joys amidst the chaos. "To Be Loved by a Man" is a dream of unconditional love and acceptance, while "Shakespeare and Love" reflects on the hopes and fears of loving and being loved. "Mad People's Dorm" is for anyone who has felt alone in their struggles, who has questioned their worth, and who has yearned for understanding. It's a journey through pain and healing, a testament to resilience, and a reminder that there is always hope. Join me in exploring these poems, and together, let's find solace in shared experiences and the power of words. Copyright Notice © 2024 Bhavna Ojha. All rights reserved.
