When freelance programmer Arty hacks into his own matchmaking app to pair himself with his crush, he enlists the reluctant help of his best friend Ben-whose feelings for Arty might run a little bit deeper than "just friends"-forcing him to confront whether true love is closer than expected.

Standalone in the Mismatched series

***

Arty Mavety believes love is a formula waiting to be solved, and he's determined to prove it by hacking into the matchmaking app he's developing to pair himself with his crush Leo, a neighborhood barista who barely knows Arty exists. Arty ropes in his best friend Ben Himmel, cashing in a favor-though they both know that Ben would've helped him anyway. Ben wants to be a good friend and support Arty's misguided mission, but there's one small problem-he's got long-buried feelings for Arty, and they're starting to bubble to the surface. 

As Arty's idealized romance with Leo threatens to unravel his friendship with Ben, he begins to realize true love can't be engineered. And sometimes, it's way closer than expected.All Rights Reserved

Mismatched by SuperheroesAndSprite

When Nate agrees to babysit his aunt's esteemed matchmaking business, he doesn't expect a computer error to force him to pose as a fake match to one of her intolerable clients, Riley, creating a messy mismatch that might just turn perfect fit.

Already purchased a chapter? No worries-you won't need to pay for it again. *** A small-town summer spent matchmaking desperate couples is Nate's worst nightmare, but he's desperate for a little cash and a chance to prove to his family that he isn't a complete failure. He assumes he's in for quiet days of cheesy love connections, but his world is flipped upside down when the matchmaking program is unable to find a match for Riley Jenkins. Terrified to tarnish his aunt's perfect matchmaking record, Nate takes matters into his own hands, posing as Riley's match. Riley is everything Nate isn't-creative, put together, into intellectual debate...oh, and completely intolerable. But with Riley holding a business-ruining review over Nate's head, winning him over becomes a nearly impossible challenge Nate can't afford to fail. What Nate doesn't expect is for his dream guy act to lead to cute dates and sparks of real attraction. Faced with the fear of falling for Riley for real, can Nate confront the consequences of his lies for a shot at love? Or will their mismatch be a costly mistake after all?

Friendship's Overrated by My_ShipWrecked_Heart

"Levon." Todd answered, voice hard. "Todd." Levon responded just as coolly. There was a pause. "Are you busy?" "I just got back from class," Todd said. "Waiting for Betto to get out of his lab so we can go for supper." "Nice." Levon wanted to punch himself. Todd just hummed in affirmation. Another pause as Levon tried to find a way to dispel the tension in the call. "Are you good?" Todd asked when Levon failed to form a sentence, and Levon realized how out of character it was for him to call Todd. There a was a layer of concern just under Todd's indifferent tone, and the protectiveness that seemed ever present in Todd when they were younger and Todd was always saving Levon from his problems. Levon's anger seemed to melt away at that familiar sense of security. "I'm good," Levon spoke finally and a soft smile spread over his lips. "Are you good?" "I'm good," Todd said gruffly. "Are we good?" Levon asked and Todd scoffed. "What we. There is no we. We're not friends." "Wouldn't want you as a friend anyway," Levon snickered. "You're kind of an asshole." Or Todd and Levon, and their acceptance that they were never meant to be friends. (Disclaimer: there will be foul language, more fluff than plot, and BoyxBoy romance. Read at your own risk!)
