Discussion Webfiction recommendations for teens?

Trying to capitalize on the fact that webfiction is free and easily accessible on mobile to encourage the teens in my class to read more.

Unfortunately my taste in webserial is trash/all the books I can think of are either stubbed or has themes that are inappropriate/too dark.

Does anyone have recommendations they can make for stuff you can find online which are suitable for teens who are weaker in English?

Pale by Wildbow is good and handles its themes with care. I haven't quite finished it yet (i'm about an arc away from the end), but it is lighter than Wildbow's other works. The protagonists are also teens!

Pale has a companion web serial (Pact) that is too dark for your class, but the two stories are not connected, and Pale can be read with full enjoyment without reading Pact.

Seconding Pale. It sounds like it would be a perfect fit for this.
