Summary
When Andrew came to Palmetto, he never thought it might become home – and even now he’s still not sure it is. Despite living there for nearly six years now, he doesn’t really feel like he belongs.

But the thing is…Neil’s not the only one with secrets in this town. Everyone seems to have something they’ve kept hidden in the dark. And as soon as one thread gets pulled, they all seem to come unraveled…
Featuring second chances, making mistakes, budding relationships, and as many fall shenanigans as possible – welcome to the smalltown world of Palmetto!

Summary
Neil is Demi, but Andrew is Gay. It's a distinction Neil's never really paid attention to before, barely thought twice about at least in regards to himself. But after an incident at Eden's, and a specific comment from Andrew, Neil starts wondering if there are several things he hasn't noticed. It leads him on a downward spiral of self-doubt, depression, and his usual martyr-like tendencies that can only have one conclusion. He loves Andrew so he wants him to be happy- even if it's with someone else. So he'll let him go...but only if he asks.

Summary
At first, it seems like an ordinary photography assignment. A few weeks trekking through the wintry wilderness, enough shots of the local fauna to keep his agent happy, and then onwards once more. However, the strange little tourist lodge in the foothills holds more than Neil bargained for - secrets, thievery, friendship, and an impossible blond bear.

Summary
“I bet the monster will come alone again this year,” he says, his voice scratchy like the sound of a blender in the early hours of the morning.
Aaron stiffens beside his brother, shoulders creeping up to his ears before he opens his eyes. He turns to Seth with a sneer. In seconds, Aaron had gone from asleep to fully awake, an anger simmering under the surface of his skin, water boiling over.
“I’ll take that bet,” Aaron says, face a blank slate, anger cooling behind his eyes. If this were still college, Aaron would’ve let anger take over, let fists fly. With age, Aaron had learned that there are crueler things than violence.
“Five hundred bucks,” Seth replies, eyes sparkling in amusement. He’s got the face of someone who thinks they’ve won.
“A thousand,” Aaron counters. Andrew’s eyebrow twitches up imperceptibly, a feeling like a laugh bubbling up his throat.

Summary
Andrew’s eyes were stuck on the gap.
“I won’t let you fall,” Neil seemed to read Andrew’s mind. “I promise.”
Neil was a stranger and had no way of knowing what the word ‘promise’ meant to Andrew. Andrew enlightened him, “I take promises very seriously.”
“That’s good,” Neil said. “I wouldn’t promise you something I didn’t mean. I won’t let you fall, but you need to meet me halfway. I can keep my promise better if you’re closer to me.”

(Or: Neil is a firefighter and Andrew needs help.)

Summary
He heard a question from his new companion before he could focus his attention on the man across from him. “Top 3 ways to dispose of a body. Go.”
His expression was blank while his question was curious.
Neil stared at him for at least 37 seconds of their time together before answering. “Acid. Fire. Pigs.”

Summary
Exy is an exhilarating, action-packed sport played fifty feet above ground on hoverboards, which means it's fast and violent and can lead to life-threatening injuries for its players. That's one of reasons why it's not legally recognized as a sport and so is played 'underground', the league organized by the powerful Moriyama criminal organization. Illegal or not, it's popular both with the fans and its players - including one Neil Josten, who rarely feels alive unless he's on a hoverboard.
For the first time in ten years, he's no longer running and he's finally able to play a sport he's loved since he was a child. Now if only he could get Andrew Minyard, the Palmetto Foxes' best goalie (the division's best goalie) to stop treating him like a threat, then everything would be fine.
Or so Neil believes.
