    Summary

    Alex has always believed in love stories full of passion and drama, stories that were a little Shakespearean. It comes as no surprise that he become one of the most successful producers on the long-running reality dating show, Ever After. But then the show casts Henry Fox as its next Prince Charming.

    Henry is far from the charismatic Prince Charming that the show expects. Yes, he definitely has the looks; piercing blue eyes, sandy blond hair and a shoulder to waist ratio to write home about. But when Henry’s in front of the camera, he’s a prim and proper cardboard cutout who says the right things but has no idea how to date twenty women on television. Behind the scenes, he’s tight lipped and cold and seems to have a superiority complex.

    As Alex tries to get Henry to connect with the contestants on a collection of amazing dates and fantastic locations, things begin to thaw between them and they become friends. And when Alex realizes he has better chemistry with Henry than any of the women, things start to get complicated. Because when true love happens, it doesn’t always follow a script, and a fake fairy tale just might derail Alex’s own happily ever after.

    Summary

    It starts as it always does—a subtle ache in his chest.

    Sometimes, it's triggered by an event or a person. Other times, Dev doesn't even fucking know why he spirals. Generally, it's when he doesn't have something specific to focus on.

    Today, he finds himself curled up in a ball in bed, paralyzed by the mere thought of having to do literally anything. He has to pee, but then he has to stand, and that requires getting out of bed, which is far too much for his brain to handle.

    OR: dev has a depression episode and Charlie is there to comfort him.

    Summary

    “It’s cute how you do this.” Dev says when Charlie pulls too short sweatpants up his legs.

    “Dress you?” Dev nods. He places his hands on Dev’s knees and thinks for a moment. “Well, I undress you. It only feels fair to help you redress.”

    Dev cups Charlie’s face with his hands. “I love you.”

    Summary

    Dev’s charming face was illuminated by the light beaming from his tablet, but Charlie didn’t have the energy to push himself up and take a gander at what exactly he was doing on it. Upon further observation, he could see that there was a slight hint of frustration in his fiancé’s tired expression.

    But that all disappeared and morphed into shock when Dev heard Charlie turning over and shot his gaze to the man who had just been sleeping beside him. Despite Charlie’s gentle smile, Dev still appeared to be panicked.

    “Shit, love, did I wake you?” asked Dev hurriedly. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to–”

    “Dev,” Charlie interrupted with a quiet laugh. “It’s fine. I woke up a few minutes ago before you were shuffling around. Why are you still up?”

    Dev’s eyebrows knit together, seemingly sheepish all of the sudden. “I couldn’t sleep.”
