Books like Flash Fire by TJ Klune
Nick’s fantasy becomes reality when he meets his dream superhero boyfriend, and their romance blossoms amid the glamour of Nova City’s newest heroes. Yet the thrill of love is dwarfed by the challenge of living up to the extraordinary world he’s joined.
As new members of the Extraordinaries arrive—siblings who manipulate smoke and ice, a mysterious telekinetic hero, and a drag‑queen superhero with a sparkling persona—Nick and his friends Seth, Gibby, and Jazz must sift truth from deception. Secrets about justice, family, and the nature of heroism start to surface, forcing Nick to confront how he defines what it means to be extraordinary.
Balancing romance, secret‑keeping, and the pressure to be bold, Nick grapples with his lack of powers while striving to protect the people he loves and to finish the bakery fan‑fiction he’s always dreamed of writing.

Three years ago, Bear McKenna's mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they've muddled through, but since he's totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn't actually doing much living--with a few exceptions, he's retreated from the world, and he's mostly okay with that. Until Otter comes home.
Otter is Bear's best friend's older brother, and as they've done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect. This time, though, there's nowhere to run from the depth of emotion between them. Bear still believes his place is as the Kid's guardian, but he can't help thinking there could be something more for him in the world... something or someone.
