What do you do when you're given a second chance at life?

***

Age 15: Oliver Sallow is shipped to the tiny town of Blissby to live with a new foster family. Finn O'Connell is captain of the football team. Neither of them knows much about the other except for one thing: they have absolutely nothing in common.

Age 17: Oliver finds Finn having a panic attack in the library bathroom. They still have nothing in common. They fall in love all the same.

Age 18: Oliver breaks up with Finn.

Age 18.5: Oliver dies in a motorcycle accident. Six minutes and twenty-four seconds later, he wakes up again to be offered a deal: he will get to spend another twelve months as a guardian angel, neither fully dead nor completely alive. The catch: the person he is assigned to help is none other than Finn O'Connell.

Age 19: Two boys, fourteen months of history, and a promise: this time, there can be no falling back in love.

Notebook [Book One] by SerenityHeat

Aiden hid the year-long abuse from everyone; his mother, father, and baby cousin. That was, until it became too much, and his parents pulled him out of school to relocate. Evan couldn't wait to introduce his favourite cousin to the group of boys he grew up with. Maybe Aiden would finally make some friends and come to terms with the violence he faced back in London. Nathan was the quiet boy whose life had been upside down for years and showed no signs of settling. That was until he gravitated towards the pretty pink-haired boy who carried just as many painful stories. One mute; another scarred for life. They were meant to be. #1 - Teen-Drama

Liability by queenofthewips

[BxB] In the eyes of the public, Rhys Martinez is the darling boy of the governor of New York, who has an angelic smile and charming wit. The people of New York and the media adore him, girls and boys (as well as some men and women) are desperate for even just a second glance from him. Reality is a fickle goddess, however. Because Rhys is neither sweet nor caring, he doesn't give a single fuck about people in general unless they are his grandfather or his best friend. He fits right in at Edison Academy's worst class despite never being participating in the havoc his classmates tend to wreak. But he never discourages the sick games either because he doesn't care. Not after what happened the previous year. He is ready to sit back and watch as his classmates do their worst to traumatize and torture whatever poor soul they get as their new homeroom and Literature teacher. And upon seeing the pathetic, weak kid that barely looks older than them in his preppy clothes and huge glasses, he knows that there is no chance that Dmitri Armand would last more than a week under the Black Sheep's tender care. But reality likes to play tricks on those who assume things...

Mr. Match (BoyxBoy) ✓ by euwangabrielll

I'm Finn Vasco but that's not quite important right now. I'm a pretty sarcastic guy if I'm gonna be honest. I'm closed off and I literally only have one friend. I might hate everybody in my school... but there's this guy there. He's... let's say, dreamy, someone who I thought would never even acknowledge my existence. That guy who was too damn good to be true, who was too good for me, who was too good for... everybody! You get what I'm trying to say. He's that cliché king of the campus and a popular and attractive heartthrob and with just one wink, he can send people on their knees... That sounded so wrong, anyway. So can you blame me for being over the moon when one day, he approached me only to what? ...To ask for my help courting my freaking best friend. I knew it was stupid for me to hope I'd even have any chance with him anyway. So I just agreed to help him. Even if I was hurting myself and potentially my best friend in the process, my best friend who has been there with me through the thick and thins, I still did it... I mean what could go wrong besides literally everything? So my plan was to just set my crush and my best friend up, and then everything would be alright... right? But of course, life doesn't like it when people have it easy. *** Highest Ranking #2 on #lgbtfiction #5 on #boyxboy #6 on #gay #8 on #teenfiction *** ~ WARNING: This story contains strong language and bullying.

Mates with the Rogue by KhadataMzBozz

But when no one was around he was goofy and funny, and very outspoken and even a little sassy. So what happens when Evan's mate crashes his 18th birthday, and not only is he a dominant but he's the leader of a pack of rival rogues. Indenial of his feelings Evan, and feeling guilty because of the betrayal even tries to keep his distance. But he can't seem to shake, or deny his feelings for the rebel, who's possessive and deeply in love with him.

Hope. by lixlovesyou

Hope. Such a misinterpreted word isn't it? The meaning of the word changes for each individual. For some, it's just a few letters stringed together. But for others, it's a matter of life and death. For these two boys 'hope' definitely means the latter. It's something both of them want, yet, are so far from getting. Each time they take one step forward, it's almost as if they're dragged two steps back. So close, yet, so far. Tyler is blind and Luca is hurting. A coming-of-age story, where life does whatever the hell it wants. RANKS: #1 in lgbtpride #1 in disability #1 in blind #3 in lgbtlove #10 pride
