Gay Male Authors of Gay YA Novels

@owls-garden

I have not read all of these authors so I can’t vouch for quality, but here is a list of gay male authors* who have written at least one YA book with a gay male protagonist. I’m linking to their Amazon Author pages. I am sure there are more out there, but I haven’t been keeping up very well with the YA space. I have not read Heartstoppers, but I understand it is supposed to be a heartwarming coming-of-age love story? That is probably the dominant theme in the books these men write (although there are also coming-of-age with unrequited romance or no romance, dystopian thrillers, fantasy, and other genres in the mix.)

*to the best of my knowledge this is accurate

Adam Sass

Adam Silvera

Adib Khorram

Andrew Eliopulos (who does not have an author page even though Amazon has his book)

Arvin Ahmadi

Bill Konigsberg

Brent Hartinger

Brian D. Kennedy

Brian Zepka

Chris Tebbetts

David Levithan

David Valdes Greenwood

Erik J Brown

Grant Muller

James Brandon

Jason June

John Corey Whaley

Jordon Greene

Julian Winters

Marcus Herzig

Naz Kutub

I apologize if you've answered this before but what starter books do you recommend to someone whose never read lgbtq+ books before. I'm open to both non-fiction and fiction and all genres are welcome. If you need reference I'm a cis female who is a lesbian. Thank you.

Apologies never necessary - welcome! Usually I'd say to start with books where queerness isn't the focal point, like Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth or Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley, or, looking into adult, something like Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, or something everyone's read, like Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. But that's because this question is usually coming from someone who wants to know what they can safely and comfortably give someone who's iffy on interacting with queerness but wants not to be.

If you're looking for just books I think you might enjoy because they're really good, and you particularly want lesbian rep, I'd say anything by Ciara Smyth or Kelly Quindlen, Gideon the Ninth, This is How You Lose the Time War, The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar, Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur, Crier's War by Nina Varela, One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole (and I'm sure her newest, How to Find a Princess, though I haven't read that one yet), and Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner are all good places to start, and keep an eye out for Misa Sugiura's upcoming Love & Other Natural Disasters.

If you want to dip into other rep, some of my faves are Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender, Between Perfect and Real by Ray Stoeve, The (Un)popular Vote by Jasper Sanchez, anything by L.C. Rosen, Julian Winters, or Caleb Roehrig, and though I haven't read them yet, if you like SFF, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune and Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series should probably be at the top of your list. If you just want some fun contemporary that isn't romance, Steven Rowley's The Guncle just came out and I enjoyed it a lot, or if you want lesbian rep in adult contemporary, Kristen Arnett is great too, though much more intense.

And of course, if you'd just like to browse on your own, I have a site for that: https://www.lgbtqreads.com/

Happy reading!

So Close - S.S. XLIX

Summary: The universe has a funny way of putting the things you want right in front of you, but just out of reach. Stiles and Y/N have been best friends ever since Scott brought him home, but when Stiles realizes that he might want to be something other than best friends, she leaves to go to some fancy private school up North. Now that she’s back though … maybe he’s got a shot? A Teen Wolf AU in which the reader has always been so close to Stiles and yet so far.

Masterlist Prev. | Part 49

Word-count: 6.5k+

A/N: so i thought i had this queued up for a few weeks ago?? but here it is!! this was one of my favorite pieces to write

Maiming you and Theo and then eating the Ghost Rider’s pineal gland wasn’t the only thing on Hauptmann’s - or Douglas’, the name he used at the high school - agenda for last night. He’d stolen the Ghost Rider’s whip and made Corey disappear.

It wasn’t all bad news, though: Lydia had managed to do the impossible. She brought back something of Stiles’ - only been his lacrosse jersey, but it was enough to solidify Stiles’ existence far beyond what you and Lydia felt or what Theo apparently remembered.

Malia managed to get some information out of a newly-healed Peter while they were looking for a rift in the woods. Peter told her a bit about what happened when he was in limbo, chalking up his surviving the rift between worlds to his werewolf abilities because he and Stiles had watched a human burn into nothing when he tried to cross it.

You felt sick to your stomach listening to Malia summarize Peter’s information. Despite all the craziness that your friends had been through, Stiles was human. He didn’t want to be anything other than human, and you couldn’t force him to change even if you wanted to.

But Scott was willing to change him. If it meant bringing Stiles home, Scott was willing to take the risk of biting him.

When all you could bring yourself to do was stare at him, Scott added in a strained voice, “We have to get him through the rift.” He pushed himself off the wall and walked over to the desk where Liam and Malia were looking through papers as he said, “It’s the only way.”

Peter raised his hand as you and Lydia walked hesitantly over to the desk. “Just to clarify: Are you planning on biting everyone in the train station?” he asked.

“With Stiles back, he’ll be able to help us figure out a plan to bring back everyone else,” Scott said. “He’s good at that.”

Annoyance tinged your vision. Did Scott want Stiles back because he was his best friend, or because he was the only one who could come up with a plan to save the day?

“So the plan is to get Stiles back so that he can come up with a plan?” you asked, sounding more venomous than you meant to.

Giving you a harsh look, Malia asked, “Whose side are you on?”

“Malia, look around,” Peter said. Your annoyance grew as you realized that you had been agreeing with Peter. Oblivious to your thoughts, he continued, “We’re the only ones left in Beacon Hills. If they take us, Lydia will be the only left to haunt this place.”

“That’s why I’m the only person that’s going in,” Scott said.

“No,” you said instantly. You were arguing before you even knew what your argument would be; all you knew was that Scott wouldn’t go in there alone.

True to his older brother fashion, Scott talked over all your protests. “You guys will stay here with Mason. As long as somebody is left in Beacon Hills, the Wild Hunt can’t move on,” he said.

“I like your plan, Scott. I really do,” Peter said in a tone that implied that he didn’t like Scott’s plan, not even a little bit. “Especially the part about turning Stiles.” He stopped pacing. “But it can’t work.”

“How do you know?” Malia asked.

“Logic. Life experience,” Peter said. “Liam, what are the odds that he’ll get taken?” Without waiting for an answer, Peter went on. “What if Stiles isn’t there? What if there’s no Beacon Hills for you to come back to?”

“Okay, you got a better idea?” Liam asked.

“Uh, yeah,” Peter said, sounding like it should have been obvious. “It’s called ‘run like hell.’” He turned to Malia while the rest of you were too stunned to say anything. “So, we leave in five?”

“You promised you’d help us,” Malia said as she walked closer to him.

Watching her argue with him - knowing that Peter was her dad - made you feel like you were doing something you weren’t supposed to. You knew whatever happened with their relationship wasn’t any of your business, but you couldn’t block it out no matter how hard you tried.

“If you can��t help us find the rift-” Scott interrupted their argument, “Then we’ll find it ourselves.”

“Scott, I admit that you have a flair for beating the odds,” Peter said with a sigh. You wanted more than anything for Derek to be here instead of him. “But this? You don’t walk away from this.” He started backing out of the sheriff’s station. “You run.”

“I hate him,” you said without meaning to. Ever since your memories of Peter had come back, you’d been very careful about what you said in front of Malia, but all the memories of comforting her and talking to her about Peter was nothing compared to the anger you felt in that moment.

Malia turned away from the door with a sad look in her eye. She set her face into a carefully cold expression and said, “Me too.”

---

The new plan was essentially the same as the old plan: divide and conquer. Liam, Hayden, and Mason were supposed to babysit Theo in the sheriff’s station while you, Malia, Scott, and Lydia went into the woods to find the rift.

“When you were out here the last time, how long until the Ghost Riders showed up?” Scott asked.

Malia stepped over the tree roots carefully, squinting against the sun slightly. “A couple minutes.”

“That’s reassuring,” Lydia mumbled as she stepped over the same roots.

“What is the rift supposed to like?” you asked. “Like some magical portal or more just noticing that something isn’t quite right?”

“If it’s a tear in the fabric of our world, then theoretically it could look like anything from a microscopic black hole to a free-floating Einstein-Rosen bridge,” Lydia said.

After a second of awkward silence, you asked, “You, uh, don’t happen to have any pictures of those on you, do you?”

Lydia gave you a look that she only reserved for Liam when he tried to steal some of her Red Vines on movie nights. “No,” she said, “I don’t have any pictures on me.”

“Let’s split up,” Scott suggested, in an attempt to diffuse the tension.

Instead of arguing, the four of you went off in opposite directions and hoped for the best. You didn’t get very far before Scott called you all to look at an old drain pipe. The bars had been broken and curled outwards, like something had burst out of the pipe.

Scott bent down to investigate and picked up a leaf.

“The rift’s not above us,” Lydia said. “It’s below.”

“Well,” you said with a sigh and knelt down next to Scott in the dirt. “Who wants to go in first?”

Scott gave you an uneasy smile and crawled into the pipe. You followed close behind him, helping Lydia over the bent bars, and Malia crawled in after you guys. After about a minute, you guys arrived at a service hatch and climbed down the ladder to find yourselves in the same tunnels that the Dread Doctors had used.

Dusting off your hands, you set to work looking for the rift in the very frustratingly normal-looking tunnels. You made your way as a group until you reached a fork in the road. You went left and Malia went right, and then Malia crashed backward into the floor.

“Found it!” Malia said triumphantly as you helped her to her feet.

Lydia walked past you and towards the rippling in the air. She held a hand out but was careful not to touch it. “It’s remarkably similar,” she said quietly.

“To what?” you asked.

“To the Einstein-Rosen bridge,” Lydia said. “See why I couldn’t have shown you a picture?”

You sighed and nodded reluctantly before turning your attention to the rift. It looked almost like nothing, but you had to figure out a way to cross all that nothing without being flung backward by Lydia’s Einstein-Rosen bridge.

Malia, it seemed, was thinking something similar. She broke off a piece of pipe and threw it into the rift. After almost decapitating Scott, she picked up the pipe again and started ramming it into the rift. All that happened was that the pipe got burnt and Malia burnt out. She groaned and threw the pipe to the side.

“There’s gotta be another way,” you said. “Lyd, do you have any other ideas?”

“I just need a minute to think,” Lydia said with a strained smile. She lifted her hand to her face to help her think.

“Think about how to get through a supernatural rift that melts steel.” Scott met your eye and frowned slightly.

“I didn’t say it would be easy,” Lydia said, sounding partly humorous and partly defensive.

A voice caught your attention from the dark. “But it doesn’t have to be so hard,” he said. Douglass. Hauptmann. Creepy physics teacher. He stepped into the light with a look that could only be described as devious.

“He followed our scent,” Scott said as he stepped forward.

“I followed your desperation,” Douglass corrected. Your back ached with the memory of when he almost killed you; it had been so easy for him to take you out. “We’re all in a tough spot. Desperate to get inside and save everyone, and hoping to find a way to stop this army of the dead. We all want the same thing.”

There was something about the way he worded his sentences that creeped you out, but you were starting to think that everything he did creeped you out.

“He has a point,” Lydia said with a reluctant tilt of his head.

“Yeah, if he doesn’t kill anyone,” Malia said.

“Else,” Scott corrected. “If he doesn’t kill anyone else.”

“All that matters right now is getting through the rift,” Douglas said.

“Anything that touches the rift either bounces back or burns,” you said. “So you’re welcome to give it a try.”

“Oh, I think I’ll let someone else try it out first,” Douglas said with a sinister smile. He didn’t move, but Parrish walked out of the darkness behind him. He snarled at you, and his eyes were a bright green color instead of his usual golden red.

Lydia called his name gently, trying to get his attention.

“If the Hellhound can open the rift, we all go together,” Douglas said.

“You’re the bad guy,” Malia told him. “I’m pretty sure helping you is a bad idea.”

“Good guy, bad guy. When has anything ever been so black and white?” Douglas asked.

“Says the Nazi,” you scoffed. Your friends looked at you and you forgot they hadn’t been there when Douglas and Theo spoke to one another.

“And he wants the Hunt for himself,” Liam said as he appeared from the other tunnel. He looked like he'd run all the way here from the police station. “He wants his own supernatural army.”

Douglas sighed and unfurled the whip he’d stolen from the Ghost Rider. Your breath hitched.

“We’re not letting you through that rift,” Scott said.

“Not letting me?” Douglas repeated. “I see. You still think you have a say in the matter.”

Douglas cracked the whip and you pulled Liam back with you as your friends ducked. Scott shifted in an instant and roared at him, and Douglas cracked the whip again. He wasn’t trying to make any of you disappear, though you knew he wouldn’t hesitate if you didn’t move out of the way. Douglas just wanted you out of the way.

You pulled your friends, one by one, to the side of the tunnel.

“Hollenhund,” Douglas called.

Parrish followed behind him obediently. He started tearing through the rift without needing to be told what to do, and for a moment you were too hopeful to remember that he wasn’t on your side.

Scott remembered. “Parrish, stop!” he yelled.

But Parrish wasn’t listening to anyone other than Douglas. He continued to rip through the rift until it completely dissolved, not caring about how burnt and damaged he’d gotten in the process.

“Wunderbar,” Douglas said as he looked at what was left of the rift.

Parish roared at you as Douglas said something in German. He roared again as the burn marks spread further across his body. They started walking through the rift.

“Now!” Scott yelled.

The five of you bolted towards the rift but it sealed shut before you got there. Liam pulled you back before you lost an arm to the rift as it closed.

“No, no, no!” You pulled your arm away and reached out for the rift again, but Scott pulled you back just before two Ghost Riders stepped out. “No,” you whispered, backing away while keeping your eyes on the rift.

“Y/N, take Liam and Lydia to the bunker,” Scott said over his shoulder.

You forced yourself to look away from the rift and nodded at him. Taking one of Lydia’s hands in yours and Liam’s in the other, the three of you started running towards the bunker while you ignored the sinking feeling that hope was for suckers.

The bunker was further than you expected, and you had to keep tugging Liam back so Lydia could keep up. You froze when a roar broke through the tunnels.

“That wasn’t Scott,” you said. You recognized it but you refused to let that roar belong to Scott.

“Well, it didn’t sound promising,” Liam mumbled.

“They rarely are. We need to keep going,” Lydia said. She shuffled to the front but all three of you stopped when you saw a Ghost Rider. It snarled at you and Lydia pulled you and Liam behind her.

You started to argue that you should be the one to take the hit, but the Ghost Rider raised his gun slowly up to the ceiling. He didn’t shoot at you.

“What’s happening?” Liam whispered.

“I don’t know, but you guys need to stay behind me,” Lydia said.

You couldn’t let anything happen to her. “Lyd-”

“Trust me,” she said.

Using Lydia as a shield, the three of you edged your way around the Ghost Rider and ignored the snarling until it was safe enough to start running to the bunker. It was closer now, but you didn’t stay long before Scott and Malia came to tell you that the coast was clear.

The coast didn’t feel very clear when they told you that Peter was taken, or when you came home to an empty house. It was very, clearly muddy when the operator told you that the number you’d dialed had been disconnected and asked you politely to check the number and try again.

“Scotty,” you said gently, reaching your hand across the table to hold his. Scott pressed the redial button. “Hey.” You touched his face. “We’re getting her back, okay? I promise.”

Scott didn’t say anything. You held his hand a little tighter and let your other one fall to your side.

“What do we do now?” Liam asked awkwardly.

“We can’t hide from them,” Malia said, easing herself into the chair across from you.

“What about Lydia?” Liam asked as he stood up. “The Ghost Rider was afraid of her.”

“It wasn’t fear. It’s …” Lydia took a breath. She and Liam sat at the table. “It’s almost like reverence.”

“It doesn’t matter. The rift is gone,” Scott said. It had been a long time since you’d heard him sound so hopeless. “We’re the only ones left in Beacon Hills.”

A knock at the door interrupted your hollow comforts and Noah stepped into the kitchen. You hadn’t realized how happy you were that he hadn’t disappeared like everyone else until you saw him, despite the argument you’d had the last time you’d seen each other.

Noah met your eye as he pulled up a chair. “I have a son,” he said. “His name is Michislav Stilinski, but we call him Stiles. I remember.” He took a breath. “When Stiles was a little kid, he couldn’t say his first name. Not sure why, it pretty much rolls off the tongue,” Noah explained with a hollow laugh. “But, uh, the closest he could get was ‘mischief.’ His mother called him that until …”

You reached a hand out to Noah and he didn’t pull away. His hand was warm.

“I remember when, uh- When Stiles first got his Jeep,” Noah went on. His voice sounded raw. “It belonged to his mother. She wanted him to have it. The first time when he took a spin behind the wheel, he went straight into a ditch. I gave him his first roll of duct tape that day. He was always getting into trouble, but he always had a good heart. Always.”

Noah squeezed your hand and you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding.

“And we’re here tonight because my goofball son decided to drag Scott - his greatest friend in the world - into the woods to see a dead body,” Noah finished.

“How did you remember?” Scott asked softly.

Noah sighed. “It started with Stiles’ jersey,” he said with a look at Lydia. “Then I found the red string for his crime board. Finally, his whole room came back … and all the memories.”

Your mind drifted to the Feliscore Arcade token in your pocket and you felt a sudden stab of jealousy that was so violent that you had to check to make sure that your claws weren’t out. They weren’t. Noah still had his fingers.

“And then the strangest thing happened,” Noah said, snapping you back to reality. “I- I thought I saw him. It was like something opened right there in the middle of the room. Just for a moment.”

“A rift,” you said instantly. “It doesn’t matter the other the rift closed. If we remember Stiles, then we’ll open another one.” You got to your feet. “Can you- can you take me to his room? Anything. I need-”

Lydia said your name when you were talking and then again louder when you didn’t listen to her. “We need to slow down and think,” she said.

“I can’t!” you snapped. “All we’ve been doing is waiting, Lydia. I need to remember him.”

“We will,” Lydia promised. Her voice was strained and her eyes pleading. “We just need a little more time. Please.”

You clenched your jaw and caught Noah’s eye. Reluctantly, you sat back down. “Okay,” you said quietly. “What are you thinking?”

---

As you got the freezer ready in Chris’ bunker, you thought of submerging Isaac in ice water to get him to remember what happened when he found Boyd and Erica. It had been dangerous, but he insisted on doing it to find his friends. This was dangerous, but you all insisted on doing it to find Stiles.

As you hoped Isaac was doing alright, Scott slammed the bunker door shut behind Lydia and strained to turn the lock.

“Do you think it’ll hold them off?” Malia asked.

“No, but it’s all we’ve got,” you said. Your eyes flicked over to the freezer and you walked over to it. “I don’t know how cold this thing gets but it didn’t kill Parrish so I think I can handle it.”

“What does freezing have to do with remembering anyway?” Malia asked, clearly not impressed by the freezer.

“It’ll slow your heart rate and put you in a trance-like state,” Lydia explained. She looked at all the dials, buttons, and levers. “If we can figure out how to work it.”

“Well, this says ‘start’ and that says ‘stop’ so maybe it’s not that complicated,” Malia said. “Who’s first?”

“Me,” you said instantly.

“No,” Scott said. He looked at you carefully, doing his best not to argue. “Please. I need to do this.”

“Okay,” you said quietly. You nodded at him. “Be careful, please.”

Scott nodded and flipped a switch on the freezer. He turned around to take off his shirt and you tried to prepare yourself for what was going to happen. At least when it had been Isaac, you could hold his hand, but there was no hand-holding through the metal.

“Okay. It’s doing something. Are you ready?” Malia asked.

Scott gave a run-of-the-mill answer as he opened the freezer door. He looked at you as Lydia locked him inside. You hated this.

“Remember,” Lydia said, “this will get cold enough to kill you. So if something feels wrong or like it’s not working-”

“It’s going to work,” Scott said.

“I hope you’re not saying that because you think I know what I’m doing,” Lydia said.

Scott smiled. “I’m saying that because I know you can figure it out.”

Without another word, Lydia nodded and turned the temperature down on the freezer. All four knobs were turned to their maximums.

Scott started gasping and shivering. “Oh, okay. Alright, yeah- that’s really cold,” Scott sputtered. “Like really cold.”

“Scotty, it’s okay.” You took a step closer and put your hand on the glass. “I’m right here with you and I’m not going to let anything happen to you. You’re safe.” You were distantly aware of Malia and Lydia talking behind you but you were focused on your brother. “I need you to focus on my voice, okay? Can you hear me in there?”

“Scott, you have to concentrate on Stiles,” Lydia said as she took a step closer to you. “Try to picture him in your head. Think about what he looks like. The things he said.”

The freezer whirred loudly and Malia tensed. “I don’t like this,” she said. “Something’s wrong.”

“We need to give it a few seconds,” you said quietly. “With Isaac, he freaked out before it finally-”

Scott groaned and put his hand on the glass, exactly opposite yours. And then his whole body went still. He opened his eyes and they shined a brilliant red.

“Scott, can you hear me?” Lydia asked. He didn’t answer but his heart beat steadily. He was still breathing. “Scott, don’t fall asleep. You have to keep your eyes open.”

Scott sounded far away when he spoke again, “I’m trying.”

“It’s not sleep. I think you’re losing consciousness,” Lydia explained. “And if you do that, I think we’re going to lose you.” Scott’s eyes kept fluttering closed.

“Scott, stay awake,” Malia ordered. “Scott!”

Scott’s eyes closed. In that far away voice, he said, “Stiles, please let me out. It’s the full moon, I swear.” Your blood ran cold. It was working. “You know I wouldn’t do any of this on purpose. And it’s killing me. I feel completely … completely hopeless. Just let me out. Please?”

Your heart was going to beat out of your chest. Scott kept mumbling disjointed conversation and looking around him like he was looking for something.

“Scott, try to find him,” Lydia urged. “Try to find him in your memories.”

Scott’s heartbeat skyrocketed and he looked more frantic. It was just like when Isaac didn’t want to remember finding Erica’s body. He was terrified.

“Find him in any memory. Good or bad,” Lydia told him.

Scott looked like he was having a panic attack. Malia said he looked like he was lost.

“I think he is. I think maybe it’s too much information,” Lydia said.

“Isaac overloaded when he tried to remember,” you said quietly. You took your eyes off Scott to look at Lydia. “How do we get him to focus?”

Lydia took a shaky breath and looked at your brother. “Scott, can you hear me? You have to try to focus!”

Scott covered his ears with his hands.

“You hear that?” Malia asked, walking towards the door.

“Thunder?” Lydia asked.

“Maybe,” Malia said.

“Guys, we need to figure this out,” you said. “Scott is going to fry his brain if we can’t get him to focus, and then he’ll freeze to death.”

“I know!” Lydia took a shaky breath. “This is my first time opening a dimensional rift in space-time. I’m kind of just fumbling around in the dark here.” She got a look on her face that you recognized whenever she got an idea. “The dark,” she repeated. “I think we have to treat this more like actual hypnosis. They use images to guide you through the memories.”

“Okay, then let’s give him an image,” you said.

“Scott, can you hear me?” Lydia asked again. “Listen to me. I need you to imagine this. Imagine you’re in the high school. Visualize yourself in the high school, in the corridor where all the lockers are. Just try to imagine standing there. That’s where your memories are. They’re all in the lockers. They’re locked away behind each one. Every memory of Stiles is in a separate locker.”

Scott was still straining. He looked like he was in pain.

“Scott, you’re there. You’re in the high school,” Lydia said. “You’re standing there now.”

Scott went still. He dropped his hands and looked around slowly, carefully.

“Stiles, you there?” Scott asked quietly. Louder, he said, “Lydia, I need your help. I don’t think I can do this. I can’t figure it out.”

“You have to keep looking,” Lydia said gently.

“There are all these memories, but I don’t know which one’s the right one,” Scott said.

“Find another memory,” Lydia said. After your whispering, she added, “Any other memory will work. You just have to keep trying.”

Scott stayed still for a long time without saying anything else.

“It’s getting too cold,” Lydia said behind you. She walked closer to the tank to read one of the gauges. “He’s getting too cold.”

“What if it’s not enough to remember him?” Malia asked. “What if it’s some kind of a connection he’s supposed to make because of a memory?”

“Like an emotional connection?” you asked.

“That could be why it worked for Stilinski, right?” Malia asked.

“Scotty,” you said hesitantly. “All these memories are important, but Stiles is more than just a memory, okay? He is your best friend. He’s the person that’s been with you even before you were bitten, and he’s the person that will be there for you long after all this is over. He’s a piece of you. Scotty, he’s more than a memory. He’s your brother.”

Scott was so still that he looked dead. His heart was thready, faint. For a moment, he stopped breathing. Then he gasped and his eyes burned bright. Malia managed to pull him out just before he collapsed.

“What’s wrong? Why did you bring me out?” Scott cried. You never thought you’d be so happy to hear him whining.

“Your heart rate dropped. You were going to die,” Lydia told him harshly.

“We had to,” Malia said.

“But- but nothing happened, did it?” Scott asked. You looked away from him. “It didn’t work.”

You wouldn’t allow yourself to feel hopeless. You stood up and set your jaw. “I’m going in,” you said. “We know how to make it work now. You can get me to focus quicker. I- I’ll remember more.”

“No, put me back in,” Scott said. “I could feel something happening.”

“Yeah, hypothermia,” you said as you stepped around him. “Scotty, you’ve gotta let me do this or it will kill you.”

Scott stared at you for a few hard seconds. “Okay,” he said eventually.

“No, it’s too dangerous,” Lydia argued.

“Lyd, I love you but I’m going in there whether you help me or not,” you said. “You can either help me, or you can let me fumble through the dark and melt my brain.”

Lydia didn’t want to help you, but she knew you weren’t going to back down. “Okay, I have an idea for a visual,” she said. “But I’m not letting you kill yourself in there. If your heart rate drops-”

“You’ll pull me out,” you said with a smile. You kissed her cheek as you dashed around her into the freezer. “Let’s do this.”

Malia locked you in the freezer and Scott turned all the dials. You did your best to ignore them and focus on Lydia telling you to picture yourself in a car. Any car, as long as it had a radio.

“Every memory is a station,” Lydia said in her calm and clear voice. “You can change the station whenever you want. Are you sitting in the car right now?”

You looked around and found yourself in the powder blue Jeep. You felt yourself smile. “Yeah,” you said, putting your hand on the old gearshift. “Yeah, I’m in the car.”

“Okay, I need you to turn on the radio,” Lydia told you. “Every station is a new memory, and I need you to find a memory where you connected with Stiles. Can you do that?”

“Yes,” you said quietly. You took your hand from the gearshift and touched the radio knob.

Taking a breath, you switched it on and immediately fell into a memory.

The spring in your bed poked into your back uncomfortably, but you didn’t hardly noticed anymore. Your body was sore and tired, and all you could think about was Stiles’ voice on the other end of the line.

“I really miss you,” you said before you could stop the words tumbling out of your mouth. Your hand tensed around the drawstring you’d been fiddling with. “I mean, not like you specifically. I miss being at home. With Scott. And my mom. And …”

“Me?” Stiles suggested drily. You heard him move around and sigh on the other end. “I miss you too, McCall. No one’s here to drive my Jeep into an old lady’s mailbox.”

“That was one time! It’s your fault for not telling me which one was the brake and which one was the accelerator.”

“I thought that was pretty freaking self-explanatory.”

You argued with him but you laughed anyway. You were filled with a light feeling in your chest as the line got quieter. The tiredness in your muscles faded into fuzzy happiness.

“You still there?” Stiles asked quietly.

“I’m still here,” you said softly.

“Good.”

The line was quiet again. After a few minutes, you heard Stiles snoring softly.

“I’ll see you soon, Stilinski,” you said with a small smile. “I love you.”

You breathed heavily and tried to focus. That wasn’t enough. You turned the station.

Stiles taught you how to drive. You taught him how to punch someone without snapping his wrist. He wrote you letters while you were at Willow Creek. You wrote him poems. Stiles. Stiles. Stiles.

He was everywhere but none of the memories were the right ones. None of them felt powerful enough to bring him back. You changed the station again, begging the Jeep to show you something meaningful.

The cold air washed over your face mercilessly, but you didn’t mind. The music coming from inside the rave was so far away that it actually sounded peaceful; thumping in time with your heartbeat as you balanced along the inner arc of Stiles’ mountain ash barrier.

“Is it always like this?” you asked, shooting him a teasing smile. He looked pretty in the moonlight.

“Yeah, pretty much,” Stiles said with a half-hearted sigh. He looked like he was going to say something else but then he squinted at the bag in his hand. Something was wrong. “Hey, does it look like this bag is getting empty?” He brought it closer to his face to take a look, but before you could answer, he’d poured what was left into his hand. “Crap, crap, crap, cr-”

“Stiles,” you said, snapping him out of his stupor. “Calm down.” You put your hands on each of his shoulders and shook him lightly as you took a deep breath that you hoped he’d mimic.

Stiles refused to take a deep breath. Instead, he said, “Calm down? There’s like fifty feet of ground to cover and I’ve got like three sprinkles of magic fairy dust left!” He looked over to where the mountain ash needed to reach, shook his head, and took a shaky breath. “You know what? I’ll call Scott. Scott always knows what to do. I’ll call him.”

Stiles started fumbling for his phone but you caught his wrist and placed your hand over his. He stopped moving. “Stiles,” you said gently. “You don’t need to call Scott. You’ve got this. Plus, he probably won’t answer anyway.”

Stiles said your name in a replica of your tone of voice and added, “We don’t have enough mountain ash. Scott will help us.”

“Stiles!” You let out an exasperated sigh and let go of his hand. Looking him straight in the eye, you said, “This is your job. It’s all on you. You’ve gotta believe you can do this. Scott believes you. Deaton believes in you. I believe-”

You didn’t get the chance to tell Stiles that you believed in him because he kissed you. It was the first time that Stiles had ever kissed you, and it was better than anything you could have imagined. Your hand moved up to the side of his neck and your fingertips lightly covered his jaw.

“What was that for?” you asked quietly when he pulled away. You looked in his eyes and tried to find the answer.

When he spoke again, Stiles sounded like he was telling you a secret. Something he couldn’t quite explain himself. He said, “For believing in me.”

You let out another harsh breath as Lydia yelled that they were pulling you out.

“No!” you yelled. You changed the stations again until you found something. “One more memory. I just need one more-”

“It’s me. I’m next.” Stiles' voice sounded hollow as he lowered his phone from his ear. He slid it into his pocket and then he started running.

Even though you couldn’t remember him, you ran after him. He’d already been taken from you but you were determined not to let him disappear.

When you finally caught up to him, you grabbed his hand. “Hey!” It took Stiles a painstaking second to realize that you weren’t a threat. He recognized you, even if you had no idea who was back then. “Hey, let me help you,” you said quietly.

“What’s my name?” Stiles asked with a trembling voice and tears in his eyes. You knew him, and you knew the way his hands felt, and you knew his favorite color was blue, but you didn’t know his name. All you knew was how badly you wanted to make him safe. “Oh, god. You don’t remember me.”

“I know you,” you said adamantly. Your hand tightened around his. “I don’t- I don’t know how. I know you.”

Even though your hands were intertwined, Stiles lifted your hands to either side of your face and kissed you. The kiss was over in a second but it felt like you’d been kissing him all your life.

“I love you, but I’ve gotta go,” he said, sounding heartbroken.

He pulled away and started running again when you grabbed his hand again. “No! Let me come with you,” you begged.

Stiles looked like every second he spent with you broke his heart, and now you knew why. “You don’t even remember me.”

“But I know you,” you said. You changed your grip on his hand so that your fingers laced together tightly. “And I’m not letting anything happen to you. So wherever you’re running … I’m running, too.”

“Okay,” Stiles said quietly, not entirely believing what he’d agreed to. He nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”

Stiles started running, leading through the school at a pace too slow for a werewolf. Back then, you’d thought he might have been like Lydia because of how he kept looking at things that you couldn’t see and pulling you out of invisible danger.

“Don’t look at them,” Stiles warned. He sounded frantic. “Whatever you do, don’t fight them and don’t look at them or they’ll take you too.”

“But I-”

“Promise me.”

“I promise. No matter-”

The words caught in your throat. You wanted to yell ‘no matter what’ until you were blue in the face, but you had no control over the memory.

Stiles dragged you to his Jeep and fumbled for the keys as you slammed the doors shut behind you. He froze when he realized there was no escaping. He looked around and took a deep breath, holding the keys in his hand.

“Hey, we can still get out of here,” you said gently, leaning over to touch his hand. Fire spread through your fingertips.

“No,” Stiles said quietly. He looked over at you with the saddest, most hopeless expressions you’d ever seen. He broke your heart. “There’s no time.”

“There’s plenty of time,” you argued. You moved closer, trying to move his keys into the ignition. “Just start the car. We can go anywhere you want.”

“Hey, listen to me.” Stiles turned and cupped your face like he did in the hall, but he didn’t kiss you this time. “My name is Stiles. I’m gonna be erased, just like Alex. You’re going to forget me.”

“Stiles,” you repeated. “Stiles, I won’t forget you. Not again, okay? I can’t- I can’t lose again.”

“I love you,” Stiles said. And you knew he meant it. He knew you better than you knew yourself, and he loved you.

“I lo-”

The doors opened and you fell out of the freezer too soon. You didn’t get the chance to tell Stiles that you loved him, no matter what he did, no matter what happened to him. That you'd loved him since before you knew what love was.

“No, no, no,” you cried, fighting against Scott to crawl your way back to the freezer. “Let me go back to him. I need to tell him-”

“I know,” Scott said. He held you so tightly that his skin burned you to the touch.

“Scotty, please.” You sounded pathetic. Your face was clammy and wet with tears. You didn’t even know what you were asking him for as the whole bunker shook and green light filtered through the few windows high up. “Stiles,” you whispered.

You got to your feet and walked over to the door, leaning too heavily on Scott as the ice stubbornly clung to your bones and stabbed your muscles. There was a white light at the end of the tunnel and you pushed away from Scott to move towards it.

And then he started walking towards you. Stiles was right there.

You started running towards him with all the supernatural speed you could muster up, but he was gone before you even had the chance to give out beneath you. Stiles was gone and all he left you with was a pair of bloody palms to break your fall.

“No.” It was all you could get out. “No, I have to… have to get back in the freezer. I have to remember.”

Scott said your name gently as he helped you up. He told you that you couldn’t go back into the freezer because it would kill you.

“But he was here,” you said. “You saw him.”

“We didn’t see anyone,” Malia said.

“I saw him,” Lydia told you. “Stiles was here.”

collecting my thoughts on the goalie market - to the best of my knowledge this is all correct as of Thursday, October 8th, 2020.

GOALIE TRADES:

Matt Murray to OTT (PIT signing Jarry as their starter; I am not familiar enough with their organization depth to say if they have a goalie already set to be Jarry's backup)

Devan Dubnyk to SJ (leaving MIN without a starter)

GOALIES GOING TO FREE AGENCY/TESTING THE MARKET:

Braden Holtby* (WSH)

Henrik Lundqvist (NYR, bought out)

Corey Crawford (CHI)

Anton Khudobin (DAL)

Jacob Markstrom* (VAN)

Craig Anderson (OTT)

Cory Schneider (NJ, bought out)

Cam Talbot (CGY)

Thomas Greiss (NYI)

Mike Smith (EDM)

Jimmy Howard (DET)

*goalies that I know for sure would not be content being backups (and in Marky's case he absolutely should not be). I'm not familiar enough with all the players to ascertain this for everyone.

QUESTIONS:

Marc-Andre Fleury (expected to be traded after VGK re-signed Lehner to one hell of a deal)

Teams looking for a starter:

MIN, CHI, EDM (?? it looks like Smith and Koskinen split the games pretty evenly last season, so this is debatable)

Teams looking for a backup:

WSH, DAL, NJ, CGY, NYI, DET, VAN (potentially, presumably Demko would be their starter if Markstrom doesn't re-sign), VGK (if they trade MAF?)

(some details pulled from Dan Rosen on NHL.com, other info just collected from Twitter)

this is for my own reference, but feel free to reblog if you want! if you have more specific info about one of the teams listed, please do share if you're inclined!

#nhl 2020 offseason #nhl 2020 trade season #goalie tracking #i know for sure what's going on with the caps and the flyers and that's it so if you've got like calgary or edmonton deets pls share #edited to add howard #knew i had missed someone

HONORING WORLD AIDS DAY ~*~ THE CLASSICS | ANTONIO LOPEZ 1970: SEX, FASHION & DISCO Miss Rosen for Dazed

Deep in the mountains of Puerto Rico lies Utuado, built by Spanish imperialists nearly 300 years ago. It is here that Antonio Lopez (1943–1987) was born. The son of a father who crafted mannequins and a mother who made dresses, Lopez was a child prodigy who began to sketch at the age of two, revealing a gift that would revolutionise the fashion industry and prefigure the times in which we currently live.

At the age of seven, Lopez and his family moved to New York City, where he grew up living a double life, making mannequins with his father but playing with dolls out of sight. His burgeoning bisexuality would soon drive a wedge between Lopez and his family, inspiring him to create his own centered in his artist studio at Carnegie Hall.

As the civil rights, women’s rights, and gay rights movements made space for those who had been previously marginalized by the mainstream, Lopez and his creative partner Juan Ramos (1942–1995) introduced goddess-like visions of his muses to the world in the pages of Vogue, WWD, and The New York Times. His discoveries, known as “Antonio’s Girls” included Grace Jones, Pat Cleveland, Cathee Dahmen, Tina Chow, Jessica Lange, Jerry Hall and Warhol Superstars Donna Jordan, Jane Forth and Patti D’Arbanville – women who not merely beautiful but were extraordinary characters and artists in their own right.

Jules Rules Final 2019 NFL Mock Draft

Cardinals: Kyler Murray QB

It makes too much sense. Kingsbury and Murray could become the next great offense. Perfect fit for Murray in Arizona.

49ers: Nick Bosa DE

It’s really down to Quinnen Williams and Nick Bosa for the 49ers. In the end, pass rusher is a bigger need than an interior defensive lineman. Bosa is a better version of his brother and him along with DeForest Buckner and Dee Ford could potentially be the best defensive line in the league.

Bengals (From Jets): Dwayne Haskins QB

I’ve been hearing lots of reports about the Jets wanting to trade back. The Bengals need a quarterback pretty soon so why not work out a deal to move up ahead of the Giants and take Haskins. This might be a reach for Haskins, but if you think he’s a franchise quarterback you’d make the move.

Raiders: Josh Allen DE

The Raiders traded Khalil Mack and finished the season with less sacks as a team than Mack had alone. That’s embarrassing. So why not fix that problem with an edge rusher who had 17 sacks last year?!

Buccaneers: Devin White MLB

The Bucs absolutely need a linebacker, especially after Kwon Alexander leaving for the 49ers. White is the perfect linebacker for today’s NFL as he’s big enough to help in the run game and has the sideline to sideline speed to stop running backs and wide receivers.

Giants: Quinnen Williams DT

With the Jets trading back and the Bengals selecting a quarterback, it pushes a top defensive lineman down a few picks. The Giants are very happy staying at six and getting arguably the best defensive player in the draft. He could immediately become the best defensive player on the Giants.

Jaguars: Jawaan Taylor OT

The Jaguars are a running football team without an offensive line. So they need the best offensive lineman in the draft. Oh, and he also happens to be a great run blocker. You can put him in at either tackle spot and he’ll be comfortable.

Lions: Montez Sweat DE

Sweat has been taken off of some teams’ draft boards due to a heart condition but that can’t prevent the Lions from taking him. You may have heard about his fast 40 time. But let’s put that into comparison.

Prospect 1: 4.41 forty-yard dash time, 21 bench reps, 36 inch vertical jump, 125 inch broad jump, 7 second 3-cone drill, and a 4.29 in the 20-yard shuttle. Prospect 2: 4.63 forty-yard dash time, 21 bench reps, 34.5 inch vertical jump, 118 inch broad jump, 7.11 3-cone drill, and a 4.26 in the 20-yard shuttle.

Prospect 1 is Montez Sweat and prospect 2 is Ezekiel Ansah who is still a free agent but will not return to the Lions.

Bills: Ed Oliver DT

The Bills need help across the defensive line to get after Brady, Darnold and Josh Allen. Ed Oliver is a top defensive lineman and reminds lots of people, including me, to Aaron Donald. I am not saying he’s gonna be him, but he could be a slightly worse version of Donald. Only time will tell.

Broncos: TJ Hockenson TE

If the Broncos don’t take Hockenson, they’re crazy. Yes, I get the point of picking of picking a defensive player because Fangio will fall in love with one. But Hockenson is a can’t miss prospect. He can run, catch, block and so much more. Gronk might be a little bit of a crazy comparison but a fair one could be former Iowa Hawkeye, George Kittle. But Hockenson will be better.

Jets (From Bengals): Brian Burns DE

Pass rusher is a big need for the Jets and they passed on some great ones by trading back. But this is such a defensive heavy draft that even an edge rusher at 11 is extremely talented. Plus, you get lots of other picks by trading down eight spots. Brian Burns is very talented and could immediately step in and start for the Jets.

Packers: Drew Lock QB

This could be a perfect pick for the Packers. Aaron Rodgers is 35 and injury prone. He doesn’t have much more time in the league. Getting Lock and sitting him behind Rodgers for a couple years would be a great idea. Lock has a very similar game to Rodgers and could learn a lot from him. Then the Packers turn the keys to Lock and it’s like when they turned the keys from Favre to Rodgers.

Dolphins: Jonah Williams OT

The Dolphins are rebuilding. They need to start over. So why not build the offensive line? Williams is the smartest offensive lineman in the draft and the safest one. He reminds me of Joe Thomas because of his ability to make up for his length with his veteran savvy and hand usage.

Falcons: Rashan Gary DE

The Falcons have a glaring need on the defensive line. Some teams are afraid of the Gary’s not so great performance at the college level. Nevertheless, he’s got great potential and is an athletic freak.

Redskins: Daniel Jones QB

The Redskins have turned their focus away from trading for Rosen and are now primarily looking at quarterbacks in the draft. Jones has risen a lot in the past couple of weeks. His instant comparison is Eli or Peyton because he was coached by David Cutcliffe. I’m not gonna go there, but I will say that Daniel Jones is a very smart player and knows how to win.

Panthers: Clelin Ferrell DE

The Panthers should take the best player available with this pick. That would be Clelin Ferrell. He can help in the run and pass game and reminds me a lot of Olivier Vernon. He produced 27 sacks at the college level and can instantly help the Panthers’ defensive line.

Cardinals (From Giants): Andre Dillard OT

Everyone is expecting the Giants to pick. But no, a trade is announced. The Giants leave the first round with Quinnen Williams and Josh Rosen and are extremely happy. The Cardinals now have the Giants’ 17th pick, originally from the Browns. After selecting Kyler Murray first, it’s time to protect him with the best pass protector in the whole draft. He will not let anyone get a hand on Murray. Now the Cardinals leave with their franchise quarterback and an offensive lineman that can protect him. Perfect. They’re happy. The Giants are happy. That trade gets my approval.

Vikings: Dalton Risner OL

Risner can play every position on the offensive line but center. The Vikings can move him around because they need help all over the offensive line. Great pick for them.

Titans: Noah Fant TE

The Titans get the other tight end from Iowa. Big target for Mariota and that connection will instantly become a big thing. His play style reminds me of Jimmy Graham. Watch out if your a defense and you’ve gotta defend Corey Davis and Noah Fant.

Steelers: Greedy Williams CB

Williams is an elite corner with rare size and speed combination. Too bad he didn’t play for the Hawkeyes too because he definitely has a hawk eye when searching for the football. Very physical and can cover big receivers. Reminds me of Richard Sherman.

Seahawks: Cody Ford OT

The Seahawks need to improve the offensive line and Cody Ford can play anywhere. He can play both tackle positions and both guard positions. He would be an instant day one starter for the Seahawks and Wilson and the running backs would fall in love with him. He blocked for Kyler Murray in college and now gets to block for the pro version of him.

Ravens: DK Metcalf WR

The Ravens need to get a big target for Lamar Jackson and both Metcalf and AJ Brown could fix the problem. But I think Metcalf happens to be slightly better and when the Ravens do decide to pass the ball, they’ve got a big receiver who can run.

Texans: Kaleb McGary OL

The Texans have no offensive line to keep Deshaun Watson up. That needs to change. McGary is an instant starter on their offensive line and Watson will love the pick.

Raiders: Devin Bush MLB

Big fall for Bush due to team needs and other defensive talent in the draft. The Raiders would love to find him available with this pick. Getting Josh Allen and Devin Bush would give them two day one contributors on the defense.

Eagles: Marquise Brown WR

Marquise Brown is the younger cousin of Antonio Brown and has the same playmaking ability. That’s why his nickname just happens to be “Hollywood.” He’d give Carson Wentz another playmaker to throw to and the Eagles would love it.

Colts: AJ Brown WR

Giving Andrew Luck another target would be amazing. AJ Brown is arguably the best receiver in the draft and him and TY Hilton would give Luck two great receiving targets.

Raiders: Josh Jacobs RB

I love Josh Jacobs. I think he’s gonna be up there with Kamara and Kareem Hunt. Definitely a diamond in the rough although he happens to be the first running back taken. He can run and catch but just needs to work on his blocking game. Him, AB and Derek Carr could be a great offense.

Chargers: Dexter Lawrence DT

Lawrence is a big 350 pound beast. Put him in between Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram and the Chargers have one of the best defensive lines in the league. He can slow down any teams’ run game and also can rush the quarterback a little bit.

Chiefs: Byron Murphy CB

Murphy is the second best corner in the draft and the guy has a nose for the ball. The Chiefs secondary was one of the worsts last year and adding him plus Tyrann Mathieu in free agency are two great additions. Murphy is undersized but surely is tough.

Packers: DeAndre Baker CB

DeAndre Baker was very solid for Georgia last season had had to face some tough opponents. Adding him could give the Packers a very good and young secondary for years to come.

Rams: Jaylon Ferguson DE

The Rams need help getting after the quarterback and Ferguson along with Dante Fowler Jr and Aaron Donal could make the Rams one of the best teams at doing that. He missed the combine due to problems he had off the field in college, but he’s still a great pass rusher.

Patriots: N’Keal Harry WR

Chris Hogan left for the Panthers and N’Keal Harry is a huge upgrade at the position. He’d give Tom Brady another great receiver and it’d be very hard to cover him, especially with Brady throwing to him. With Gronk and Hogan leaving, Brady needs another target and Harry could fix that.

That was my final 2019 mock draft but tomorrow I will make a list of my top 25 prospects. It’s very hard to predict what’ll happen due to lots of rumors being smoke screens and you have to pick which ones you think happen to be true. That being said, I think this was my best mock so far and I made sure to include trades because some will definitely go down in draft night. It’s a very exciting time of the year.
