Kileoli - Stories

Donovan Stevens has spent his life mastering distance- between himself and the dead, between himself and the living, but an overlooked detail throws him into a shadowed world of anonymous digital holes entangling him in a connection that blurs the line between professional detachment and personal desire.

Bottles don't choose their shores is a crime novel with a bit of humor that explores anonymity, desire and the consequences of reaching for someone you were never meant to find.

Between dungeon wipes, beta reads, and one badly timed confession, Liam and Rick's friendship is pushed into a space where good intentions become dangerous.
This is a story about games you can’t pause, choices you can’t reload, and the terrifying moment when caring too much starts to look like a horrible plan B.

The first time Rick kissed him, it felt like a joke.

Salt on his cheek. Wind in his mouth. Laughter close enough to pass for safety.

Later, in another country, in a kitchen with colder light and windows that didn’t open the same way, Liam would remember that night by the water and try to locate the exact second when his life tilted. He would search for a crack in the structure — a warning sound, a visible fault line, he would never find.

When your voice is too loud even to your own ears, then write the words down so they won't hurt that much.

So I realized writing helps more than talking, although I have no talent, I still want to call these poems.

Rick likes order, rules and the fact that he is always right. Liam is an endless chaos, making the world look more complicated with his mathematical formulas and magical scientific crap. Putting these two together in the same room causes nothing more than misery, disorder, and fun.

Malicious Glee is a collection of short stories following Rick and Liam—partners who love each other fiercely, argue publicly, flirt dangerously, and take an almost academic pleasure in pushing each other's boundaries.

When the whole world turns white and no one is prepared, may be it's just better to turn in bed , pull up the blanket and pretend there's no such thing.

Or this is at least what Liam tried before everything went wrong.

An evening, two playing a game of basketball— and the boy coming back alone.

What follows is a life shaped by quiet endurance: grief folded inward, desire hidden between careful gestures, love practiced in whispers. Years later, when the possibility of living openly brushes against him like light through a cracked door, he must decide whether it is safer to remain unseen — or braver to be known.

The Discipline of Silence is a tender, intimate novel about loss, queerness, and the slow, aching courage it takes to choose yourself.

This is in the memory of a dear freind lost in the violence of war.
