Augenblick: German, A fleeting moment that is incredibly significant. 'In the blink of an eye'
Boy meets boy; with this equations love always blooms and it was no different for Otto and Daniel. Yet love was slow and when it came the rest of the universe was against them, the short summer of 1939 brought them closer than ever but tore them apart just as quickly. Otto flees for Austria at the call of war bells and Daniel learns life in France will never be the same.
The summer of '39 was not like the summer of '38, Daniel knew this and he understood the ideas of conflict to know that even if he was doing all the same things he did that year it would still not be the same. Daniel simply did not care because the smallest changes in the way the summer unfolded were not enough to distract him from what truly mattered to him. Sure, Rosalie was not lying by their feet, her red hair glowing in the sun, and she wasn't sat in the shade of the willow tree making daisy chains and wild flower crowns but this moment still remained almost perfect.

War of Hearts (BoyxBoy) [Book 1: Unspeakable Series]
Theo People say that love brings out the best in you and I guess their partially right. But as for myself, well that's a different story. Love brought out the good, the bad, and the ugly with in me. It's a little ironic, don't you think? That something as beautiful and seemingly pure as love can be twisted and manipulated into something so unbearably grotesque ... dark. Love in whatever form, whether it's pure or dark is all consuming and that in itself is beautiful, right? And it's really just all a game. It has to be. But I've been losing it for so long to the supposed love of my life, my everything, my...brother. I've never really been able to handle losing and it was killing me. He was killing me in this awful...beautiful game of love and I just...lost it. This game was turning into a war. A war I had to win. A war of hearts. [Warning: this story contains mature content, graphic scenes, violence, sexual situations, explicit language, drug use, boy on boy love and a whole lot of other stuff that may make you uncomfortable. So if you can't handle it bye bye however if your staying I really hope you enjoy my first story.] © shutup345 ™ 2015 ® All Rights Reserved The moral right of the author has been asserted.

{{Watty Award winner-"The Breakthroughs"- 2017!}} "Theo and I have been together for one hundred and fifteen years. You and your best friend have matching tattoos? Cute. My best friend and I have matching emotional trauma from every time we've had to leave people we'd grown to love behind. And also from when handlebar mustaches were en vogue. Hipsters, I beg you, let that go. It was bad then, and it's worse now." Lydia and Theo have been friends practically forever. For more than a century, they've managed their lives just fine. Until recently, they've done everything in secret, everything in the shadows; simply starting over when things came into the light that shouldn't. Thirty years ago they found Anna on the verge of turning and since then it's been just the three of them. They've never needed anyone else. Sure, there have been lovers here and there, one night stands, and the occasional boyfriend or girlfriend, but at the end of the day (or night), three was the magic number. Lydia's most recent relationship, with the beautiful but cold Amara didn't end well, Anna was unattached (for now), and Theo...Theo had never been much for spending more than one night with anyone. Until there was Daniel. And it turns out he'll be around for awhile. Complications arise, and this time, there's no running from them. Somebody is leaving a trail of bodies. Anna finds herself at the center of some very unwanted attention. Nobody is as human as they pretend to be- -and there's more than one way for blood to make a family. {{Featured story summer 2017}} Cover by Wattpad!

Straight lines, blurred boundaries
"I don't know why, but I found myself staring at Brodie. His messy brown sun-bleached hair, his tanned skin, the way his tank top clung to his chest. He was wearing board shorts, just like me, but somehow he looked... different. I must've been staring for too long because he caught me. His green eyes met mine, and instead of laughing it off, he stepped closer. Our dancing turned... well, suggestive. We were moving against each other in ways that would definitely get us kicked out of any family-friendly venue. Our hands were going up each-others tanks, and down the waist bands of our board shorts. But the crowd loved it. People were shouting, clapping, and whistling. That was all that mattered, right? Surely everyone knew we were just messing around. Brodie was like a brother to me. Right? I should've stopped him. I should've laughed it off, stepped away, something. But I didn't." Brodie has been Havens' best friend for as long as he can remember. They've faced every challenge in life together. But when boundaries are blurred and everything takes a turn, Haven doesn't know what to do.Complete

The End Is Only the Beginning
"So this is it then," Aaron Knowles spoke softly, "this is where it ends." He didn't even respond. Instead Caleb Jefferson rushed towards him, wrapping his arms tightly around Aaron's middle. The month they had spent together had felt like a lifetime, and now it was being ripped away from them. "I'm gonna miss you," Caleb whispered, his breath lingering on Aaron's neck. Aaron nodded, his hand resting in Caleb's shaggy, blond hair. "Me too," he answered, his voice coming out just as soft.
