The Broken Arm Favor - Chapter 3

I told myself it was a one-time thing.
Just helping him out, nothing more. He was desperate, I was being a good friend—end of story. That’s what I kept repeating to myself the morning after,...

The Mirror Ritual (Supernatural)

My name’s Tony. I’m twenty years old, and sometimes I think the mirror knows me better than I know myself.

I don’t mean in some poetic, deep way. I mean it literally. That thing stares ...

The Broken Arm Favor - Chapter 2

I thought Troye was kidding.
He had to be, right? No way my best friend was actually serious about me… doing that for him. But the way he looked at me after he asked, the quiet desperation in ...

My Friend Broke His Arm And Asked Me for Help

I’ve always had good hands.
Like, really good.

It’s one of those things I’ve never bragged about out loud, but I’ve always known. My fingers are fast, precise, smooth. I c...

What Happens Backstage - Epilogue

River's POV

It’s been a month since that last night—the one where we left it all on the floor, sweat, cum, moans, every last drop of tension spilled between us. I don’t regret ...

What Happens Backstage - Finale

Leo's POV

I lean back against the couch in the dressing room, still sweating from the lights, the noise, the endless screaming of fans who ate up every little touch, every kiss, ever...

What Happens Backstage - Part 11

Ash’s POV

The roar of the stadium is deafening, but all I hear is River’s breath in my ear as he leans into me during the chorus. His hand brushes my hip, subtle enough to look a...

What Happens Backstage - Part 10

Micah’s POV

Rehearsals used to be fun. Now they feel like torture.

Every time I glance across the room, Ash and River are at it—“practicing” their fan service. They’r...

Pretend With Me - Finale

My chest was pounding as I stormed out of the restaurant. I didn’t even hear what Lila said when I left—I couldn’t. My mind was already spinning with one name. Elliot.

I pulled out my p...

What Happens Backstage - Part 9

River’s POV

Leo’s voice still rings in my head. “The new ship is Ash and River. That’s what the fans want now. That’s what we’ll give them.”
No, correction�...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 7

I woke up sticky.
My sheets clung to my thighs, my boxers plastered to me with cum, and I knew immediately—I’d been dreaming about him again.

Elliot.

In the dream, I wasn’t jus...

What Happens Backstage - Part 8

Leo’s POV

I’d had enough.

Enough of walking into rooms mid-orgasm. Enough of hearing whispers behind dressing room doors. Enough of watching this band fall apart under the ...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 6

I don’t even know how it happened, but I finally asked Lila out.
The words just spilled out of my mouth during rehearsal, and for once I didn’t stutter or mess it up. She smiled, said yes, a...

What Happens Backstage - Part 7

Micah POV

Ash hasn’t looked at me the same since that night.

We still do the kiss on stage.
The crowd still screams like we’re the second coming of queer pop.
But it�...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 5

By Friday, I was running on fumes. Avoiding Elliot hadn’t made things easier—it only made me think about him more. And now, even Lila was noticing.

During rehearsal, she slid into the emp...

What Happens Backstage - Part 6

River POV

The silence in my room is deafening.

Just the hum of the AC and the muted thud of rain outside the hotel window. I’ve got my phone in hand—paused on yet another t...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 4

The second I came down from that high, I told Elliot to leave.

“Get out,” I snapped, still shaking, cum cooling on my skin. “Just—go.”

He raised his hands in mock surrender, s...

What Happens Backstage - Part 5

Ash POV

Jealousy’s a weird emotion. It doesn’t feel like anger. It feels like guilt wearing a tighter shirt.

And tonight, it’s suffocating me.

Watching River kiss J...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 3

I swore to myself we weren’t going to do this anymore.

After what happened—after I literally came in my shorts from making out with my best friend—I wanted to dig a hole and disappear. ...

What Happens Backstage - Part 4

Leo POV

I used to be the center.

When Afterhour first exploded, I was the one with the spotlight. The main voice. The cover boy. The fans screamed my name first. The label told...

Pretend With Me - Chapter 2

I told myself I was fine.

What happened last time with Elliot? Just acting. Method, or whatever. He was too good. That’s all. I mean, we were roleplaying for practice. It wasn’t ...

What Happens Backstage - Part 3

Ash POV

Ever since that night in Chicago, kissing Micah on stage has become… a thing.

It started as a dare. A joke. A heat-of-the-moment tongue kiss with a crowd screaming lo...

My Best Friend Pretends To Be My Crush

It started out like most things with Elliot did—like a joke that got out of hand.

We’ve been friends forever. Since third grade, I think. He was the loud one, the weirdo who wore a cape t...

What Happens Backstage - Part 2

River POV

People say they want fame, but they don’t tell you how loud it gets.

I used to dream about being in a band like Afterhour. I’d watch guys like Le...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Finale

I almost said it.

As we stood by the car, backpack zipped, gas tank full, I looked at Jules and tried to speak.

"A…"

He turned fast. “Don’t. Say it.”

I froze. “But...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Chapter 7

We were packing.

Jules had printed out the address. I was folding a hoodie I didn’t plan on wearing. The air felt too still. Like everything in the dorm was waiting to see if we’d really ...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Chapter 6

The day after we fucked — after I came inside Jules, after he looked me in the eye and said he didn’t know who he was without this — everything was... off.

We didn’t talk much.

...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Chapter 5

“This has to stop,” I told him.

We were still shirtless. The air smelled like sweat and sex. The video had just finished playing again.

“I’m serious,” I said. “This file, th...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Chapter 4

I didn’t remember falling asleep.

But the dream started the same way it always does.

That voice.

That calm, low, unbothered voice slipping into my head like silk between my thou...

I Tried Hypnosis With My Friend - Chapter 3

I avoided him the entire day.

Skipped lunch at the usual spot. Took the long way around campus just to miss him between classes. And when I passed by our dorm and saw the door closed with the...
