16-year-old Adrian Murphy is just trying to survive being in the closet with a father who most likely won't understand him. Fumbling through the last three years of high school is his plan - lay low, quietly suffer at the hands of his bullies, and don't come out. College will be better. Maybe he'll come out then.
That is, until he suddenly finds himself in the company of the mysterious teenager with striking green eyes. Adrian hadn't planned on striking up a strange friendship with him, yet, as he confides in the green-eyed boy, a surprise confession, and fighting back starts his high school plans falling apart.
Yet the boy with green eyes is there. Always there, and Adrian can't help himself but fall in love with him, stumbling with him on a whirlwind of self-discovery, the difficulties of coming out, fumbling with first loves, and a lack of naïveté that only Adrian possesses.

Strangers In The Night
by writerkid101It's just 44 hours, really, and weddings are supposed to fly by. Right?
~
The moment he stepped onto the hotel property, Ian should've realized a mistake was made. He should've expected something when his ex-girlfriend's bridesmaid kept asking him for favors but wasn't paying him back. Even if he was more than happy to support an old friend, even to escape the menial architecture job he's been at since he and the now-bride broke up, the next three days are for her. He will not complain.
Robert - or Bo - is only there because his family made him. He doesn't want to be here. He's his sister's plus one, and, while he knows getting out of the house is probably good for him, Bo's willing and ready to wallow in his left-behind dreams of music and dance. He doesn't know anyone. He just hopes that he'll be able to talk to as few people as possible, find his room without getting lost, and be able to gorge himself on food.
It's just 44 hours, really, and weddings are supposed to fly by. Right?
