Suffering with a pernicious mental-illness, in a life that constantly uproots him; Marcus Lane's struggles seem unending. Even with the medication and counselling, neither form of help can compensate for his father's lack of understanding, or the daily harassment he receives from students at school.
It's only when he becomes friends with a ragtag group of boys, things finally start to change. With new mates, self-acceptance starts to bud, but along with it even more complications arise.

Ace of No Trades
Miller Spencer knows that it's normal to love your best friend. Ace has been his best friend since forever. So, of course, it's completely natural to want to kiss him. It is typical to get jealous when you see him with someone else. It is absolutely ordinary that you may or may not have certain fantasies that aren't civilized enough to be told out loud. It is simply impossible that Miller would make the grave mistake of falling for his best friend in the all too familiar and cliche trope. Or maybe, Ace is trouble and Miller is falling for him. (TW: mild to moderate.)Complete
Serendipity
Sydney Summers is your typical teenager- kinda depressed, hates almost everything about himself- but with a twist. He's gay. And after a bad experience at his old school, he attends a new one, has an uneventful freshman year and is hoping for his sophomore year to be the same. Then... he meets the new kid, Timothy Moon, who is his polar opposite- a cheerful get-along-with-everyone kind of guy. He's wonderful and kind, and everything that Sydney doesn't think he deserves. But everyone has something they didn't know about themselves, and Timothy does, too. [BoyxBoy] [COMPLETED aside for some extra chapters I still have to finish]Complete
Leon, Leon (BoyxNB romance)
"I'm Callum. Life's not the worst it could be, but I always feel like I'm on the edge - of my friendship groups (Both of them - that's what I call talent), my family, and pretty much any possible love interest. It feels like I'm always watching a film of my life, except I can't get overpriced popcorn or batter the director in the head when it all goes to shit. But I'm trying not to be too emo about it. And then... Leon happens to come along. And through his slightly broken English (And my much more broken French), we start talking, somehow. Not really about philosophy or existentialism like I guess is the cliché - he's not John Green - but we laugh, and cry, and pretty much everything in between. And we learn a lot, too. About each other, the people around us, and ourselves." xxx (NB - Non-binary character)Complete
