    Summary

    October: No Jack O’Lantern on their balcony, no costume parties.

    November: Nothing more than a green bean casserole contribution to Thanksgiving dinner with Alex’s family.

    And yet.

    Come December first, Alex arrives home to find Christmas.

    ...

    Alex takes it all in with awe, for it appears that four months into being roommates, Alex learns he is sharing an apartment with a Certified Christmas Bitch.

    Summary

    “Oxford, like twenty years ago—” Twenty-one, actually. “I was there for a term abroad. We had a class together.” Alex huffs a disbelieving laugh and pushes a hand back through his curls. “We, uh, well. There was that party after final exams…”

    “I’m so sorry, I don’t recall that one” Henry lies, flashing an apologetic smile. “I don’t remember the details of most of those uni parties these days.”

    (Twenty years ago, Henry met—and let go of—his soulmate. Now he's in his 40s, with a new job in a new city, and certainly not expecting said soulmate to come barreling into his life again. A small white lie seems like the simplest way to keep things from getting awkward, but real life has a way of getting complicated.)

    Summary

    Alex makes his way to the cheese a couple aisles over. It feels like there are a hundred different options. He’s so exhausted, he can barely remember what kind he actually needs. He’s deep in thought when he hears his name.
    “Alex?”
    Alex looks up from the different types of cheese. There’s a woman standing in front of him- she looks familiar, but it takes a few seconds for him to realize who it is. “Holy- Isabel?”

    Summary

    The man looks like he’s wandered straight off the set of a medical TV drama—collected demeanor, perfect blond hair, with just a hint of exhaustion around his eyes. He glances at his clipboard, then looks up.

    “Mr. Claremont-Diaz?” He asks, British accent softened but unmistakable.

    Instinctively, he nestles Amélia a little closer to his chest. “That’s me.”

    Summary

    “Alex.” Henry swallows hard, unable to stop all the hair on his body from standing on end as he lays his eyes upon his ex for the first time in over six years.

    He looks devastatingly beautiful, even more so than Henry remembers; his face has shed the softness of youth, revealing new angles, and instead of the untamed, overgrown curls of the past, his hair is shorter and carefully styled, falling perfectly over his forehead. He looks bigger – stronger maybe – than the skinny boy Henry knew, and he’s dressed in a well-tailored suit with fitted trousers; a far cry from the casual dress of their uni days.

    “Hey, Henry.”

    Summary

    When Alex landed his first job as a stuntman, his dad had sat him down to pass on some advice. Don’t take on more than you can handle just to impress someone, he’d said, and never hide injuries. Always speak up if you’re concerned about safety on set. Make sure to always get enough sleep. And never, ever, get involved with the actors.

    He never said anything about directors, though.

    (When Alex agreed to take a job doing stunts for a movie directed by his ex, all he wanted was to make it out in one piece. After a rocky start, they figure out a way to work together again, but that new equilibrium is tested when the film’s lead actor goes missing and Alex finds himself thrown into a world of secrets, blackmail, and people actually trying to kill him. Saving Henry’s movie just might be his most dangerous stunt yet, but can he play the hero, or is he destined to be the fall guy?)

    Summary

    Henry still has his dark days sometimes. They’re rare, but they happen. But Alex knows that this? Isn’t that.

    This is Henry, his sentimental poet, his soft-heart, the man who made himself expert at crafting letters and numbers and Pokemon out of pancake batter, realizing all over again that he’s the father of the bride. Of the nearlywed, Alex corrects himself.

    Day-of is going to be brutal, Alex thinks, as he sinks down on the dusty wooden floor next to Henry and leans into him.

    “Jesus, you’re such a fucking sap, baby,” he says, dropping his head onto Henry’s shoulder.

    Summary

    It’s the summer of ‘72 and Henry goes to the States, planning to gather source material for his story and doing what his father always wanted. Border to border, miles of open road ahead. Just Henry, his notebook and the sounds of the highway.

    But then a dark-curled Texan man happens to find his way into Henry’s car, even after Henry drives right past his hitchhiking ass.

    And then that man, somehow, stays.

    Summary

    His anxiety over the jewellery melts away with each confident swipe of Henry’s tongue and squeeze of Alex’s hips. Henry is into this. He’s into Alex wearing delicate gold chains. He’s so into it he’s hard where he’s pressed against Alex’s thigh.

    or - Alex buys body chain jewellery on a whim. Henry makes him feel pretty, just like he deserves.

    Summary

    Alex's head snaps up and he stares in disbelief at Henry. "Wait, what? Really?" he asks, hope creeping into his voice. "You want -"

    Henry shuts him up by climbing onto their bed and straddling Alex, kissing him softly. "Show me your porn stars, love. Show me what you wanted us to watch together," he murmurs, his voice slipping like silk over Alex's ragged nerves.

    Six months after comparing, Alex and Henry are happier than they've ever thought possible, but sometimes Alex can't help wondering if he's really the best person for Henry, given his lack of experience. Maybe what they need is a bit of experimentation together.

    Summary

    There is safety and security in the walls of their home and in the thick, luxurious comfort of their king size duvet; there is warmth and comfort there too, but Henry feels it more in the kitchen than under the covers, and in the cups of tea Alex now makes on autopilot to Henry’s exact specifications; and that kiss to his temple encompasses all that it is to be seen and known and understood – to be left sleeping without a goodbye is unthinkable. Alex knows how Henry feels about that. He always seems to know.

    Summary

    He’s just… walking away. I look up at Henry, who is staring wistfully after the polite dog and his curly human, and I realise suddenly that this is it – this is exactly what my pet is missing from his life. I was right – he wants a companion, but he is making absolutely no attempts to find one! Humans are absolutely bloody useless, honestly.

    Summary

    “She’s fine, you know,” Henry murmurs from behind him, and Alex lets himself relax into the embrace that comes next, Henry’s arms sliding around his middle, resting his chin on his husband’s shoulder. “We have the monitor for a reason, love.”

    “Mm,” Alex hums, not taking his eyes off the impossibly small figure breathing softly in the centre of a too-large crib.

    Summary

    In all honesty, Alex probably should’ve noticed sooner, but in the few weeks since moving into Henry’s brownstone, he’s been too busy with his legal fellowship to even fully unpack. As a result, when an early bout of cool weather hits Brooklyn in mid-September, Alex’s fall and winter clothes are still stored in boxes that are stacked up on his side of the walk-in closet. So what’s a warm-blooded Texan gonna do when autumn arrives without warning? Steal one of his boyfriend’s admittedly higher-quality sweaters, that’s what.

    He’s rifling through the assortment of cashmere and wool in shades of blue, gray, black, and oatmeal, and when he pulls a pile of sweaters down from where they’ve been neatly folded and stacked, something on the wall catches Alex’s eye. In the wood paneling behind the shelves, there’s a depressed area that's usually hidden by the sweaters, and in the center of the depression is a single brass button.

    (Or, Alex finds Henry's toy collection, and he and Henry go traipsing through Kinktober 2024 in a series of interconnected sexcapades.)

    Summary

    “Come on, angel,” he takes a step forward, staring up at Henry with a smirk. He knows that if they had any need for oxygen, Henry’s chest would be heaving. “You know you want to.”

    “Wanting it isn’t the question,” Henry says tightly, only the slightest sliver of blue still visible in his eyes. “We can’t.”

    Alex knows he has him, knows that it’s only moments until he finally gets what he wants. What he’s always fucking wanted. He just needs to push.

    “Oh but we can,” Alex’s tongue darts out to wet his lips and he watches in glee as Henry’s eyes drop to capture the motion. “You want me. Come get me.”

    Alex has hated Henry for a lifetime - but he's wanted to fuck him for twice as long.

    Summary

    Doubt and loneliness banished by Henry and his easy warmth, the softness of him, and the hard length that spears Alex in his lap. Alex holds onto Henry; a life raft at sea as Henry breathes hard through his nose. His nostrils flare and it shouldn’t be adorable or attractive or anything else like that but God, Alex loves him so much it hurts.
