Tired of constantly reading headlines about the violence being committed in his community, Xavier Brunswick decides to form Brothers Takin' Over (BTO) with three of his childhood friends. BTO's original intention is to help clean up the 'hood, but large egos and clashing personalities causes them to lose focus of their main goal. 

In addition to dealing with BTO, Xavier 's problems at home continue to fester. He's angry at his father who is "passing" for white and vows to never become like him. Just when he thinks things can get no worse, his dope-fiend brother, Woodrow, returns from the streets and throws the family into chaos. 

Having to deal with back-stabbing friends, an alcoholic father, and a crack-head brother is almost more than Xavier can bear. How much can he endure before he finally snaps?

Zanvis || Colors by fandom4lyf3

[COMPLETE!] *AN: I wanna say the start of this books if cringe and slow, but i've been working on this book for like 5 years of my life. so if you can push through it gets better i swear! thank you for reading! Zane and Travis look through a black and white lenses. The entire world growing up was dull. When Zane and Travis run into each other, colors shoot from left and right, until their entire view is vibrant. This story follows Zane RoMeave and Travis Valkrum through a more semi realistic/semi dramatic, darker teenage high school experience. Will they learn to deal with their mental illnesses, family issues and the sexual tension between them or completely lose everything? TIGGERS: depression, self harm, sexual activities, drug/sexual/physical abuse, language, violence, over dosing, starving, trans/homophobia (the entire book is a trigger to be honest. there are triggers at the beginning of each chapter)

Time.| l.s. AU(Complete)(Unedited) by laughtrack

(***DISCLAIMER**: this book is unedited lol. I'm working on editing rn)Two men have loved one another since they were boys. Since meeting on X-Factor they can't keep their hands off of each other. But the people around them urge them to keep their love locked away from the public to "protect" themselves. Fast forward 6 years later and things take a turn for the worst. This is the first issue that they have encountered that is completely unavoidable. They think its end, but it is only the beginning. Where will this unexpected journey take them? (This story takes place in 2016 after Harry cuts his hair(HALLE-FUCKIN-LUJAH I TIMED THIS PERFECTLY), along with Zayn and Liam. Niall has grown out his hair so it is now brown. Yes Zayn is in the story, frequently at that lmao. Basically the boys come back from Hiatus early due to certain circumstances in the story. I PLAN for it to only be about 15-20 chapters.) *Contains adult subject matter and violence.
