This is a pinned post. All my main info will be found here etc.

I created a blog in 2011, and got popular because of blink-182 and I made a lot of friends from the fandom at the time. I started writing Tomark (Tom/Mark) fics when I was in highschool. Then stopped after awhile.

I had a lot of different usernames, I can not for the life of me remember all of them.

Since I was in highschool, I used to hand write all my fanfiction in notebooks, as this was easier carry around with me.

List of fics I had written: Aisles & Stalls The Days in the Waves The Experiment Halloween *It Hurts *It's All Fun and Games *There Is * these i can repost, as i still have the original notebooks. the others i do not think i can, so they're lost to the void. if i find them, i will update accordingly.

The Days In the Waves - Chapter Four & Five ✰✰✰✰✰

The boy sitting at the table stood up and lifted his leg over the bench of the picnic table but his foot got caught and he proceeded to fall face first into the sand. He stood up slowly, steadying himself then brushed off his shorts and straightened out his shirt. "Don't worry! I'm fine! Thanks for asking!" He yelled, before shoving his hands into his pockets and walking slowly down the beach. The man finished his beer and tossed it into the small black trash bag next to the cooler, debating whether or not he wanted another but decided against it, and pulled the box of cigarettes from his pocket instead.

Tom and his best friend Christ spend their days at the beach, surfing, skating, smoking. But one eventful day causes Tom to meet a handsome lifeguard.

The Days In the Waves - Chapter Three ✰✰✰✰✰

Chris reached the shallows and quickly dragged his board ashore. He wondered what Tom was thinking about, he seemed so engrossed in something. Suddenly it came to him, he was watching the lifeguard. Oh, Tom, Chris thought, smirking to himself. Chris glanced behind him at the lifeguard who was watching something out in the water intently. He turned his head back to the ocean and his eyes widened at what was coming up behind Tom.

The Days In the Waves - Chapter One ✰✰✰✰✰

"Dude!" Chris giggled, "Like how drunk were you last night?" Tom whispered, not wanting his mother to hear if she happened to be home. "Clearly drunk enough that I don't remember these plans" Chris lowered his voice, and changing the subject said "I think you made out with some dude!" "What?" Tom pretended to act shocked. Most teenagers, he presumed, tended to experiment. He mostly liked girls (or so he thought.) So what would kissing a few boys now and then hurt? "Whatever dude," Tom replied, shrugging him off.

IT HURTS (COMPLETED)

Title: It Hurts Rating: Explicit Words: 18k+ Chapters: 25 Author: touchdownxboy

"We can't keep doing this," Mark said, awkwardly ruffling a hand through his dark hair. His eyes shifted down to look at Tom's feet. "Doing what?" Tom slurred, taking a slight step forward. "This," Mark replied, turning his head away just as Tom's lips crashed clumsily against Mark's cheek. He cursed himself silently as Tom's hands wandered to places they shouldn't be. People roared dully in the background, chanting for them to come onstage. Travis was already out, most likely warming up for the crowd. He never questioned as to why Tom and Mark occasionally came on stage late. He could sense the tension between the, recently. He noticed the way Mark always avoided Tom's gaze when they were playing. It's none of my business, he thought. but he was worried about he friends all the same. ✰ Read on AO3!

IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES (The Original Version)

Title: It's All Fun and Games (Until Someone Gets Hard) THE ORIGINAL VERSION Rating: Explicit Author: touchdownxboy Info: I decided to repost this original version, it was a bit shorted than the edited version I posted months ago. I have it listed as a series, so both versions can be found here.

"Afraid I'll make you gay?" Tom smirked, his face close to Mark's, teasing him.

Mark bit down on his bottom lip. Oh boy, he had no idea.

Tom leaned closer to Mark.

"No no no!" Lissy exclaimed "stand up!" She motioned with her arms, raising them above her head.

Mark sighed, standing up, dejectedly.

"Go over there." She pointed to the wall directly in front of her.

"So demanding," Tom replied, snarkily, but standing up and walking over to where Mark was.

"No hands, no pressing your bodies against each other. Your lips are the only things allowed to touch."

Mark stared into Tom's brown eyes, waiting.

Tom leaned forward and pressed his lips awkwardly to Mark's, their mouths crashed clumsily against each other, their teeth clinked a few times before building up a pattern and getting used to each other's lips.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Title: It Hurts Rating: Explicit Author: touchdownxboy Chapters: 24

     The car ride back to their house was silent and awkward. Our house, Tom thought. It didn't seem right to him at all. Maybe at one point it was alright, but now the words were all wrong. Jen and Tom's house. Tom and Jen's house. Jen. Tom. It was like someone had gotten pieces from two different puzzles mixed together in the wrong boxes. No matter how hard you tried the Tom puzzle piece, it wouldn't fit with the Jen puzzle piece. Tom sighed heavily, wondering how, at one point, any of this is what he had wanted. Maybe he could grow to love it one day.

After "It Hurts" I have been thinking of reposting "The Days in the Waves"

ONLY THING IS it was never finished, and I don't have any plans to do so.

Would anyone be upset if I posted an unfinished fic, or would yall wanna read it regardless?

[touchdownxboy]
