    Summary

    Whizzer Brown wasn’t looking for salvation. He was looking for a drink, maybe a distraction, maybe someone to touch who wouldn’t ask questions afterward.

    Instead, he found a florist.

    Marvin—beautiful, irritable, all quiet defiance and earth-stained hands—looks like the kind of man you ruin yourself on once and forget in the morning. That’s all Whizzer plans to do. Sleep with him. Move on.

    But the night he stumbles into that flower shop—half-drunk, half-lost—the air smells like lilacs and rain, and something in Whizzer stops. He keeps coming back for the flowers, for the quiet, for the way Marvin never asks who he is.

    It’s only supposed to be physical.
    It never is.

    Summary

    At BYU, Kevin Price thinks he has his life — and faith — all figured out. That is, until he meets Connor McKinley. Between stolen glances, too-long silences, and a friendship teetering on something more, Kevin finds temptation harder and harder to resist.

    Arnold Cunningham’s interest in Nabulungi Hatimbi seems like harmless puppy love — until campus prejudice and personal insecurities threaten to pull them apart.

    As the four of them navigate love, friendship, and the suffocating expectations of their environment, one question lingers: is it worth risking paradise for the truth?

    Intense fear of hospitals

    In weeks to come, Connor would never know how he managed to get changed, scrub most of the make-up off his face and not have a complete breakdown in the cab on the way to the hospital. It was very rare that he thought about anything other than Kevin these days, but he couldn’t help but replay the last week in his head, because it felt like he had been getting better. He hadn’t missed a day of work in weeks, he’d been going to college and therapy and laughing and smiling and he hadn’t had a breakdown during sex for at least a month.

    Just that morning, he’d made Connor breakfast in bed and kissed him that little bit longer before he’d left for work. In hindsight, that had just been his goodbye.

    Summary

    But he did wonder if anyone else was watching the way that Whizzer’s fingers grasped the ball, the way he’d absentmindedly lick his thumb before he’d knock down three batters in a row, or the way he took a moment to run his hands through his hair after he incidentally walked a batter. The dirt seemed to roll right off of him.

    OR

    Marvin and Whizzer are on rival professional baseball teams. A strained relationship. Heteronormative pressure. The slow burn of the century. Mediocre sex and good sex. If they get too intertwined - will they ruin it all?

    * This is a rewrite of a story I wrote eight (8) years ago called "Playing Easy." There were a lot of things I feel could be expanded upon and clarified. Also I wrote it eight years ago. *

    Summary

    Marvin loved the life he had—quiet. He loved not having to worry about anything beyond himself and a few close friends. No drama, no surprises.
    He’d always believed success was a matter of control:if he didn’t have it, everything could collapse. And if something collapsed, it was because he hadn’t done enough. Because he’d been weak. Because he’d failed.
    Losing control wasn’t just a mistake—it was the beginning of the end.
    And yet, everything had fallen apart.
    All thanks to Whizzer Brown.

    my attempt at a gay romcom, please read it. 👋
