Tumor Love by DeniedDesire

Sometimes life don't go the way we planned. Sometimes we end up feeling so low, and alone. Like we're in a dark hole with no one around us, but then suddenly there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And I guess what I'm trying to say is.. You're my light, the one who helped me through the worst time in my life - And for that, I am thankful. I'm thankful that I met you, but I also hate you. I hate what you did to me, because you made me fall in love.. And then my world fell apart once again. [WARNING!! Contains mature themes, and language

Smashed Pieces & Stolen Kisses by patbatemanshoe_

- In the aftermath of heartache, healing becomes a fragile process, one step forward and two steps back. The pain lingers, haunting the edges of my thoughts, until a familiar face reappears from the past-someone I once called an enemy, now an unexpected temptation. Drawn by the pull of old desires, I give in to a brief adventure, a reckless escape from the reality of my emotions. For a short time, we lose ourselves in a dance of irony and attraction, a fleeting escape that promises nothing but momentary relief. Yet, as we navigate this dangerous game, I realize that healing isn't a straight line, and some wounds, though buried, will always resurface when we least expect them.

I Liked Blue Better by imaginenater

[OLD] [NOT MEANT TO ROMANTICIZE DEPRESSION OR MENTAL ILLNESS. SIMPLY A TROPE.] Tom isn't your average teen. But then again, what makes a teen average? His family is broken, his mental health is slowly declining, and he's faced questioning his sexuality. Often left to sit in his bed on his phone most of the day, his reasons to live were slowly declining. Tom thought it was better this way. It was better to not disturb anyone, to wear the same clothes over and over, and to stay boring. All, of course, until Tom met him. Updates every Friday. Maybe more days if I'm not busy or I'm motivated to do so. ⚠️ TW ⚠️ -boyxboy (shouldn't be a warning smh) -suicidal thoughts -self harm (cutting, etc) -no smut, probably fluff though -throwing up I didn't take the photo in the cover. I only added the text. This story does have a happy ending, because I also realized how much of an impact reading angst stories without one has on me. I also just want it to end well, and you probably do as well. Good luck reading, and thank you in advance.
