Life is a journey with roads that split. One simple choice that at first seemed so harmless can lead to a path of darkness, too easy to get lost in. For in that darkness, monsters dwell and do their best to swallow you whole.
It's the year 1997. Michael is an ordinary high school student in Plymouth, England. He's popular among his peers and lives a good life under the roof of his loving Catholic parents. But he has been holding a secret he's afraid to tell. He's in love with his best friend, Tommy.
Then one kiss that gave him hope ends up crumbling everything. Betrayed by his friend, outed for the entire school, and as the gossip spreads, he is left with no choice but to tell his parents. The reaction is as he feared. They couldn't accept it.
Lost and inconsolable, he meets a man who lures him with his sweet talk. Seduces him with his kindness and comfort that is lost elsewhere. The promise of heaven was easy to accept, and so Michael does, only to discover himself trapped in hell instead.
Fear shackles him and keeps him silent until it's time for those shackles to break. For even from the darkness, there can be a path towards the light when you get the chance and choose to find it.
Can Michael still make his way back home?
*Silent* is Michael's story of survival and the healing power of love.

Essence of Purity [boyxboy]
Book 1 of Rewritten: The Inamorate Saga. The great reveal had been beneficial for some. Elves, particularly, with their beauty and grace and quiet manipulation of the world around them. They thrived in the light, able to infiltrate human structure with ease, carving out a place for their kind at the most crucial of times. Their leaders set down territory lines, segregating cities and even states for themselves, for the growth of their people. They flourished, building their empire on the backs of those withered beneath. Fae, however, didn't find such a foothold. They remained in the darkness, hidden away in the tangles of forest untouched by humans, trapped within their clans. The dark ages reigned through those woodlands, void of modern technology and any shade of defiance. Monarchs ruled, surrounded by warriors, enforcing their law upon the common people. Outside, there was talk of abuse, of forced subjugation, whispers from those fae that had made it, that had escaped. Salem had chosen to remain silent. Five years had passed, not a soul knew of the clan he had fled. He had a family, three brothers who had taken him in, who had chosen to house him rather than barter money for the purity he still held. There was a normality to the world, to the life that Salem had forged. There was no reason for change, nothing to draw him back into that inky abyss he had clawed out of. Nothing but a tree flowering ivory petals housed in the estate of one of the most influential elves in their city...Complete

In the Beat of a Wing {boyxboy}
Book One of the Haunted Lover's Duo "People in the real world always say, when something terrible happens, that the sadness and loss and aching pain of the heart will 'lessen as time passes', but it isn't true. Sorrow and loss are constant, but if we all had to go through our whole lives carrying them the whole time, we wouldn't be able to stand it. The sadness would paralyze us. So in the end we just pack it into bags and find somewhere to leave it." - Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's Sorry. Still wrought with grief from the loss of his older brother, Eden Moir seeks out Malcolm Reed, the best SN lawyer currently working in the surface world. His intentions are mere justice for his brother, who was wrongfully murdered by hunters. Eden has been juggling work and home life, or more like drowning in it, and is in a constant struggle with the tight budget that is being washed away by his mother's drinking problem. Yet, Eden yearns for more as he gets to know Malcolm. He desires for the witch to be more than his lawyer, despite how detrimental it could be for his brother's case. Love is worth the risk, after all, right? Sadly, Malcolm might not see things the same way, looking at the bigger picture, not wanting to cost those around him the career he has built all for his own selfish wishes. But, in the end, there is something far worse at play, lurking beneath the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce... waiting for the right opportunity to dredge up the agony within Eden's heart once again.Complete
