Imagine waking up on your seventeenth birthday and finding out that you have superpowers. Now imagine being told that you can't use them like the superheroes in movies use them--you can only use them for the good of the world, never for selfish gain. That's the reality Tanner Martin is living in. He's your classic 17-year-old nerd who's in love with his best friend. Who is learning to be a superhero. Who accidentally stumbles upon a sinister plot within an infamous pack of supervillains. Who's best friend may have tried to undress him one time. Who may or may not have made out with his best friend's boyfriend and is having an existential crisis over it.
This is a tale of emotions, acceptance, love, loss, and learning what it takes to be a superhero.All Rights Reserved

The perfect timing (In Editing) by JustmeN

I'm not like wonder woman, supergirl or catwoman. The only similarity we share is that we all have an extraordinary ability and are females. Many people would say having superpowers was a gift from god and the best thing that could ever happen to you. But not for me, being able to freeze time was more of a burden, because I couldn't control it and it had the worst timing to appear. I also didn't think about being a superhero and rescuing the world from the bad. The only thing I want is to be left alone and get over with my last year of high school. But of course everything came different and it all started with me attracting accidentally the attention of Reece Matthews. (cover made by Cjc8357)

The Bet | Gay BxB | by dollygrand

The rich kid with a perfect life is challenged to make the bad boy with a bad temper fall in love with him - and things get messy when he finds himself enjoying the little imperfections this brings in his life. ***** Nicholas has it all: the looks, the brain, the money, and the fame. There is absolutely nothing wrong in his perfect and secure life. Everything he could ever want is within his reach. The life where everything is handed to him is not one he enjoys, so he doesn't think twice when his friends challenges him to make someone they choose fall in love with him. And that person is Jax. Foul-mouthed, mean, and occasionally violent, Jax is by far the worst person to be seduced, but Nic is determined to win this bet, even if it means losing limbs. There are just two tiny problems: 1. Nicholas isn't gay. 2. Jax hates him. || Gay || BxB || MxM || LGBT || Romance ||

Without A Trace (Open Novella Contest) [Completed] by lemoncandyfloss

Shortlisted for the Open Novella Contest 2019 • Being a Supervillain is tough. Between managing a secret lair and making sure your mom doesn't stop loving you because you keep telling everyone she's dead, it's a really hard business to be good at? Add to that, the fact that somehow you got arrested because your cat sitter didn't take the day off and then you go around expressing your unconditional love for pancakes in a Super holding cell because technically they can't put you in a proper prison and you don't really have a choice because lawyers are expensive? And then, you realise your best friend is plotting go take over your spot as the greatest villain there ever was? Okay, maybe not the greatest, but you do come pretty close to it! To top it off, there's that one Superhero who's just so completely gorgeous, you couldn't imagine any harm coming to them? Because they're just that precious? I guess that makes me a Supervillain with minor time travel superpowers and a huge crush on a not so powerful Superhero? And all you have to do is protect yourself and everyone you love from your ex best friend/sidekick --because let's face it that's the highest level of praise for a wretched traitor here--and you also have to get out of Super Holding somehow? What could go wrong? Right?

Podcast of a Teenage Super-Villian by HeroBreaker

THIS BOOK TAKES PLACE AFTER 'BLOG OF A TEENAGE SUPERHERO'. You don't have to read that book first to understand the events that unfold in this one, but this story will spoil all the major plot twists in BoaTS. *** What makes a supervillain? After escaping prison, ex-supervillain Masquerade is on the run from the city he used to love. But the past, in the form of a boy he hurt and a superhero who saved him, won't let him go. He thinks if he joins the organization that wants to destroy "mutated monsters" like himself and the supers he used to terrorize, then maybe he can be made human again. Flawed logic, sure, but Masquerade would do anything to escape the person he's become. But when this organization takes their agenda a step too far, resulting in a tragedy far too close, Masquerade has got to choose: to be the person he's learned to be, or to fight back. *** COMPLETE

Unable to handle things as they are anymore, Marek decides to escape from the SOPISOC HQ and run away with his lover and join him in his life of crime. Being a superhero was getting boring anyways. As it turns out, though, his choice is the right one for more than one reason when they are faced with a high level conspiracy in need of untangling.
