Sometimes life hits you like a wave... Do you drown? Or do you swim?

Daniel Alonzo Estéves-Daviau is your typical high-school junior, with typical life problems. 

"Typical" is, however, so general. Dan wouldn't call himself typical, or his problems typical either. 

Life, it turns out, isn't as sunny as he thought. 
Maybe there is no greener grass. Maybe there is no end to a dark, endless ocean. Maybe things don't get better... 
Maybe it's because life continuously hits you with rough, viscous waves... like the tide. 

Maybe the ocean is so dark that you can't see, so you can't swim, so you drown. 

Or maybe not? 

This is a mid-mid-life crisis.

The Dick & Don Show: S1 by the-pulls

DISCLAIMER: The following is a fan adaptation of JonJon's AU "The Dres & Don Show". I originally made a story by that same name under the same idea, which is still up, but it has been discontinued and replaced by this. COMPLETION: 2/9 episodes What is the meaning of life? Why were we put on this earth? That's a question every person faces, and one day when we reach the pearly gates and ask this exact question, there's a chance God may answer "hot pockets and ladybugs." We'll never know. Existentialism. That's something Don faces every waking moment of his life, but so much distracts him from this that he doesn't have the time to contemplate object permanence or the point of his own existence. All he can do is sit back while his friends drive the car into a stream and somehow catch the roof on fire as well. With his minimum wage job and absolute skill when it comes to barely scraping by, Don will drag his feet through the dirt behind his friends that forced him to see the world. Will it be worth it in the end? Who knows. After all, all this life could be worth is hot pockets and ladybugs.

Cute & Cursed (bxb) by workingtired

It could have been simple. Childhood friends - First Crushes - Football - Laughter - Cuteness - Love. Maybe even happily ever after. But it is not simple, and Noah doesn't know why. All he knows is that Ethan suddenly ghosted him when they were thirteen. Cutting their story short at Football. Now, years later, the same game throws them back into each other's lives when Ethan suddenly transfers to Noah's school. What he doesn't know is that Ethan comes fighting an invisible battle for control that Noah can't begin to understand. He just feels frustrated that Ethan seems hell bent on keeping a solid wall between them. A wall that keeps cracking. And the question is, once it finally breaks, can they find their way back to the story they were meant to have? ___________ Updates at least every Thursday!

After Dark by Okieleaf

《 This is a BoyxBoy story 》 William Caddel wants to live. Between crushing expectations and the strictness that comes with them that seems like such an impossible thing to do. He has so much of the world he wants to see, so much he wants to experience. He's a kid who is expected to act like anything but. With the help of a friend he gets a tiny taste of freedom. He gets a grasp of what life could be like away from his pretentious private school and snobby parents. He gets to experience the life he's dreamed of and gets hooked fast. For Ian Morrison it didn't take long to see through the boy his sister brought along to hangout one day. The awkward, anxious, shy type. The kid grew on him, faster than he could've imagined. After learning about everything Liam has missed out on, Ian wants to help him. Doing things you've never done before with someone else as a guide opens up a whole new life. Liam is already trying many new things and getting opportunities he's never had before, so why not offer up one more?

Under the Same Sky ✓ by insistency

Sometimes we're all too drenched in our own problems to realize others are drowning, too.

he taught me how to float - caleb coffee by lostboytommy

you sign up for a beginner surf class on a whim, not bravery. the sea has always felt too wide for you, too hungry. caleb is your instructor-sun-bleached hair, muscle carved by tide and sun, a laugh that makes the ocean sound less dangerous. lesson after lesson, he steadies you. hands at your waist, guiding you. patient when you panic. calm when you fall. you're braver than you think - he tells you. you don't believe him, not yet. but you keep showing up. and somewhere between the salt in your mouth and the steadiness in his chest, you realize maybe safety isn't just a skill. maybe it's a person. --- trigger warnings * themes of fear of drowning / ocean anxiety * panic responses (shortness of breath, hesitation in water) * physical injury (minor bruising, sunburn, falling during lessons) * storm sequence (loud, potentially overwhelming descriptions of rain/ocean)

Hearts on Veils [BxB] (Book 2 in the Heart Series) by Wren_BurnsWrites44

Mason, a guilt-ridden high school athlete, must confront his internalized homophobia and toxic relationship with Iago, in order to find redemption and healing after a tragedy. (Can be read as a stand alone) -- Mason Cardova is drowning. A year ago, he was the golden boy of Mosley High-talented, popular, untouchable. Now, he's nothing. The whole town knows what he did. They know how he bullied Ontario Hackman, how he pushed him to the edge and watched him fall. They know his name was on Ontario's suicide note. They whisper it in the hallways. They carve it into bathroom stalls. They throw it at him like a knife every time they pass him in the halls. Killer. Monster. Waste of space. His friends abandoned him. His father beats him bloody. His mother doesn't care. And Mason? Mason isn't sure how much longer he can survive in the wreckage of his own making. Then there's Iago Rivera. Older, jaded, and thoroughly unimpressed with Mason's bullcrap, Iago is everything Mason isn't-strong, disciplined, untouchable. He doesn't drink, doesn't spiral, doesn't tolerate Mason's reckless self-destruction. He's made a life for himself, one that doesn't include babysitting a self-loathing high school burnout with a death wish. But Mason keeps coming back. He doesn't know why. Maybe it's the way Iago looks at him-not with pity, not with judgment, just sharp, cold indifference. Maybe it's the way Iago sees through him, sees the wounds Mason hides under bruises and bravado. Maybe it's because, for the first time in his life, someone refuses to let him get away with running from himself. Their relationship is toxic, messy, and doomed from the start. A slow-burn collision between a boy who doesn't know how to be saved and a man who stopped trying to save people a long time ago. But when Mason loses the last person tethering him to this world, he finds himself on Iago's doorstep-broken, bleeding, and out of places to run. And Iago makes the mistake of letting him in.
