Fourteen summers ago, two families became neighbours by chance and a spark was ignited instantly.

Every summer thereafter brought winds of change. Friendships bloomed. Hearts tangled. Lines blurred.

Some summers brought sunshine.
Others brought storms.

Fourteen years later, one summer will change everything.

Forever.

two boys. two houses. two hearts. Seventeen-year-old 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 has a long stretch of boring, lonely summer ahead of him. So when a new boy his age moves in next door, he sees an opportunity -- for what, he doesn't quite know yet. Meanwhile, 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 just wants to move on from his haunting past and get a fresh start in his new home. He doesn't expect his new, annoyingly attractive neighbour to get in the way of that. Funny how time has a way of changing even the stubbornest of hearts. And, in the same way, has an awful way of breaking them. [mature for themes of self-harm and domestic violence]

More than I should by yqucvz
8 parts Ongoing
Maddie and Julian have known each other all their lives. Best friends since childhood, inseparable, confident in every small and big decision. But when Julian leaves for a football camp for a year, everything changes. Suddenly there is this gap, the years of familiarity as if blown away - they hardly hear from each other anymore, only small fragments of conversations of their parents keep the memory alive. Now, a year later, Julian is back. And with him all the feelings that Maddie couldn't let go of - the heart palpitations, the familiar looks, the unspoken words. As the summer at the lake slowly passes, they meet again, laugh, argue, rediscover themselves - and realize that the bond between them is stronger than they ever thought.

The Summer I Turned Pretty by Author_Maahiii
41 parts Complete Mature
Every summer, Bells returns to the same beach house-the same ocean breeze, the same bonfire nights, and the same two boys who've always been part of her world. Conrad, quiet and unreadable, the one who makes her heart race without even trying. Jeremiah, warm and effortless, the one who makes her laugh until her stomach hurts. But this summer feels different. The air is heavier, the nights longer, and the feelings harder to hide. Between childhood memories, family traditions, and first loves, Bells must decide what she really wants-and who she wants it with. Because this summer? Nothing will ever be the same again #12 in setting
