Neurodivergent/ Differently Abled BL Leads

Reading this story is like going to therapy, I'm probably going to fire my therapist and just reread this weekly.

All jokes aside, I basically forgot who the main couple was because it devolves into the life and growth of the whole friend group. Basicallly every character is neuridivergent and/or processing trauma. BUT IT'S SO PURE AND WHOLESOME AND GOOD. Read this to clense your soul.

Neurodivergent Seme
