[Preview of a Work in Progress; feedback welcome!]
Winter, 1949, upstate New York. Four boys (James, Theo, Scottie, and Lewis) live in the cluttered attic of an old dormitory at Bramwood, a crumbling ivory university buried in ivy. They have ambition and art; all that's missing is the money.
In walks Lucie with her romantic ideals, treacherous wit, and surprising air of serendipity. Happening upon a mysterious journal filled with a wondrous tale of forgery and fortune, rapacity runs rampant among the artists.
Nothing is more deadly than desperation.

Forget about me
Did I kill him? I hope I did. Because if he isn't dead, I will be. That's why I'm going back home. To King's cove. To find the treasure my father's diary will lead me to and use it to get the hell out of the country. What else am I supposed to do with fifty bucks to my name, an old coded diary and a body full of bruises? Only problem is that I have to avoid the four boys from my past that I hate at the same time. But this is the perfect opportunity for me to take what I'm owed. Once upon a time they betrayed me. Broke my heart and sent me away. Hunter. Jeremy. Shade. Ryder. Those four names are burned into my skin more permanently than any of the ink painting it. The four boys I once knew don't just live in this town anymore, they run it. The gang. The nightlife. The violence. It's all theirs. The packs. And those four morally ambigous avengers rule it all. All I have to do is slip past them, do my thing and get out. Should be easy, right?Complete
A Boy From Manning Heights ✔️
"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon. Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then. What he didn't expect was for his mentee to show up and make everything a whole lot more complicated. ________________________________________ Disclaimers: •This is a bXb story! •This is a LIGHTLY edited, first draft *respectful* constructive criticism is welcome🤍 Cover art: Created on Canva, unfortunately I don't know the artist who created the artwork :( Started: December 2020 Completed: December 2022 •• #1 in QueerLove -04/05/22 #1 in boysschool -05/15/22 #2 in MxM -05/05/22 #2 in Confused -05/19/22 #1 in Poorboy -09/08/22 #1 in Queer -05/08/22 #1 in Mentor -07/5/22 #1 in bxblove -09/01/22 #1 in boardingschool-12/16/22 #1 in delinquentComplete

What A Bunch Of Idiots
If one was to ask Professor Minerva McGonagall who was her favourite Gryffindor student, she would tell them that she saw all students equally. But secretly she reminisces of the 70s when the most boisterous group of boys roamed the halls. They were James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. That group of boys were unforgettable and had a talent for finding trouble but also friends in the most unlikely of places.![Step Brothers [BrightWin fanfic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/274698753-256-k180860.jpg)

Thus, the students secretly organized a tournament where every students of each houses will compete against each other. "Screw the House Cup!" Duncan explained. "Slytherins always win by cheating, it doesn't mean anything anymore! The sixth grades prefects got an idea : they organized a tournament! But it's a secret! The teachers don't know!" --- This English version is written in December 2021-march 2023 Around 91 000 words The cover is the work of @Flywater and I use the universes of JKRowling and of RickRiordan. Some jokes are from Pinterest of Tumblr, but most are mine. Please do not plagiarize! (To clarify the timeline : it happens in 1988-1989. Three years before Harry Potter comes to Hogwart, but the same year Percy Jackson arrives at camp. I know, the PJO's are in the 2000s, but it will be earlier in this fanfic.
