Behind the Walls

Not your standard aimless teen story on GA, some interesting soul searching and a good message about finding "love" rather than conforming or having anxieties over expectations, people can change and grow to what they want. That's ultimately the principle behind this story.

"Finding home" is just as important is "Finding family"  

This is a well-written smouldering love story based around a secret garden that should not be missed. Read and be drawn into the story by Blue and Bea, you will enjoy it.

A wonderful short story about a Secret Garden.

You need to read this wonderful story, to be drawn Into the story of Beau and Blue.

Thanks secret author for a wonderful story.

A must-read, both during and after the Secret Author contest. The layering of the theme "Hidden" is extensive. A tale of self-discovery and realization, this one is worth reading. 

Excellent work, Secret Author!

Have you ever gone to school or worked with someone and never really paid much attention to them, and then in another environment you run across them and hit it off?  That's how this story begins and it turns out to become a love story.  I'll warn you that it's not the typical love story that  you'd find here on Gay Authors, but it's enchanting and very touching.  I would strong suggested it to all readers, especially those looking for a good romance.  

Definitely worth the time it takes to read this short story. I recommend you do so. Cheers!

A sweet tale. I enjoyed all the hidden places and things in this. Very in keeping with the theme. Well written and not to be missed. 

A great story about self-acceptance and finding the strength to declare your truth to those that matter most. A deeply moving story that anyone looking for something more than teen romance, I would say give this a try. 

This is an amazing tale of one young man's journey to discover his true self.  It follows Blue as he navigates friendship and finding love.  

Thank you tim for this wonderful story with a cute twist of an ending!

Having read this for a second time I am even more impressed with this delightful tale of love growing as a secret garden is restored.

The writing style is excellent, there are no off notes in the dialogues. Koa is so like a gay parent of an ex student, always pushing, never happy enough, etc. 

And lovers of photography will enjoy Blue’s hobby!

This story is not a fairytale but still, there is a magical garden in it. Seems that everything bloosomes in it, love above all.

@Mikiesboyhas written this beautiful little tale, touching some serious topics as mental strugles, identity seeking and parenting. We see the chalenges many families confront, parents playing a 'good cop/bad cop' strategy and boy torn apart between the wish to be like his fathers and his true nature.

They discover that 'magic' of honest communication, can resolve the problems that might look so difficult at the moment.

When all of this is crowned with true love, secret garden becomes their little piece of haven on earth.
