Summary
Tyler Joseph has seen ghosts for years. Not just ghosts – twisted and sad spirits: the ones who have died with unfinished business. He’s accepted his lot in life: seeing phantoms who can’t see him, working an overnight job, mourning the music he once had the confidence to create. His days are dull, and the nights are even worse.
But everything changes when he stumbles upon a ghost who’s different from the rest. He has fiery red hair and an unremembered past… and he can see Tyler.

Summary
They were born in the same year. One under a bright sun, one in a room lit by neon. They both cried and screamed. And they both entered a world that was broken.
Was it destiny that their paths first crossed when they were 8? Neither could say. All they knew was that they both had a calling, an inescapable pull – to their futures, and to each other.

Summary
Tyler Joseph has had Joshua Dun erased from his memory. Please never mention their relationship to him again.
The card slips through Josh’s trembling fingers, falling to the ground without a sound. After all this time, after all they were, this is what they’ve come to. A letter in the mailbox and a blank spot in Tyler’s mind where Josh used to be.

Summary
Josh “Captain Torch” Dun, infamous pirate and master of the legendary S. Folina, leaves nothing but fire and ruin in his wake. Cursed to the sea, he cannot remain on land for more than a few hours without his skin igniting. A living blaze and a constant reminder of his fate.
Tyler Joseph, son of the Governor of Port Royal and a talented blacksmith, is clever, bold, and fiercely independent. Determined to escape the gilded cage of nobility, Tyler dreams of a life beyond ranks and titles, until a pirate raid changes everything, and he is taken hostage aboard Josh’s ship.
Enemies at first, Josh and Tyler clash at every turn. Swords meet steel, tempers flare, and sparks fly, both literal and forbidden. With cursed relics, rival pirates, and the navy closing in, the two are forced into a dangerous journey across the waves. Wit as sharp as a cutlass and desire as unpredictable as the tides forge a strange and unexpected bond between pirate and governor’s son.
Can a rogue bound by fire and a nobleman bound by duty learn to see both sides of the same medallion, or will the sea claim them both?

Summary
On Halloween night, Tyler expects nothing more than candy, costumes, and parties with friends. Instead, he meets Josh. Strange, magnetic, and just a little too convincing when dressed as an alien. What begins as wandering through a suburban neighborhood becomes a long, unforgettable night. As the hours slip by and Tyler gets drawn deeper into Josh’s world, the line between costume and reality begins to blur. The only question is…
Does Tyler want to believe?

Summary
“Come here,” Josh gets to his feet jerkily, a puppet strung along on strings as he moves closer. "Sit still."
Josh obeys. Of course he does. He has no other choice. The collar affixed around his neck makes sure of that.
The stranger stares down at him with kind brown eyes, a gentle hand reaching forwards, brushing against Josh's fur. He straightens up to face the shopkeeper with a nod.
"I'll take him."
Or
Tyler is lonely and impulsively decides to wander into a magical animal shop to buy a cute dog to keep him company. Josh, a shifter stuck in his dog form and cursed by a Sorcerer to obey every command given to him, isn't as fond of the idea.
Somewhere along the way, they both find exactly what they were looking for.
