Jared Abitol is ugly, past his prime, and desperate for love. 

Years of being hyper-aware of his own looks have made Jared develop social anxiety. When you look like Jared, love isn't easy to find. Jared might not have the looks or confidence, but he has the money, so giving up on love and settling for the next best thing, physical intimacy, is all he can do.

With the help of a colleague, Jared reaches an agreement with a college-age youth called Darnell Miller. Jared pays his college fees and rent, while Darnell puts up with shitty sex with an older man.

Sounds simple enough, doesn't it?

It's not.

UNEDITED [Rich Kids, Book 1] Randall "Randy" Rockefeller is the king of Rockefeller High School. He has everything. The looks, the brain, the money...the list could keep going. Because of this, he can get any girl he wants. On occasion he does. Other times, not so much. His family has standards, he always says. They're strict when it comes to dating, and he insists that made him weary of relationships. But is that the truth? Or is there another reason Randy is practically celibate? Well, he may have a lot, however, one thing he doesn't posses is the confidence to come out of the closet. Liam McCoy is the twin of Devin McCoy, who is in Randy's friend group, automatically making Devin popular. Liam, on the other hand, is also well known but significantly quieter, and a lot more responsible. In general, he's pretty open about his life and feelings, except when it comes to two things; his sexuality and his gender. Although Liam has a large group of friends, Devin always tries to convince him to hang out with his own circle. The only problem with this is that Liam hates Devin's friends, including Randy. At Randy's sister's wedding, Liam begins to see a different side to his so-called "enemy". What happens when Randy decides he's interested by Liam's witty comebacks and snarky attitude? Watch Liam, Randy, and their crew navigate the worlds of love, friendship, 4:00am mental breakdowns resulting in a new hair color, and possibly fist-sized holes in walls. Get ready, it'll be a rollercoaster.

Clusterfuck

30 parts Complete

Toby Wentworth's life is a clusterfuck. For a lot of reasons. And one of them just happens to be the fact that he is very gay, and also so far in the closet that he's practically in Narnia. But then there's this guy. This guy in his calculus class who winks at him. And suddenly, they're partners for a project. And Toby cannot stop thinking about him. Toby does his best to balance school, work, relationships, and the biggest secret he's ever kept as life goes on. He does, honestly. He tries so very hard. But things like drama, bizarre coincidences, and, of course, his crippling tendency to overthink have been making it difficult, and it's really not fair. But Toby just cannot stop thinking about that boy. And there are times when he wants to hate himself because of it. Sometimes, Toby's life sucks. He'll admit it. But as aggravating as the feeling of being just out of reach of a romance he desperately craves is, there's something... thrilling about it. Something that, no matter how many times he tries, cannot get him to stop this madness. He's in trouble. Absolutely. But maybe trouble can have its benefits. *** cover art by me!
