    Summary

    Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.

    Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.

    Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.

    Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.

    The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.

    Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

    UPDATE: complete and now with art!

    Summary

    When Alex lands a job house-sitting for an international man of mystery, he’s more than a little intrigued. According to Nora, the owner of the Brooklyn brownstone is a spy. According to June, he’s a prince. Alex is convinced his employer is a fifty-year-old man who loves tartan and ugly, porcelain homewares.

    Also, Alex might be flirting with his boss via a handwritten grocery list. Just a little bit.

    Summary

    She watches him swallow before looking away from her and down at his hands in his lap. “What do you want?” He asks, meeting her eyes again.

    She feels exposed, but not because of her lack of clothing.

    “Do you want to kiss me? Do you want to touch me?” He asks again.

    Summary

    “You’re a laugh a minute, Mr IT Man,” Magnus mutters. The eye roll from the other end of the line is practically audible.

    “It’s Alec,” the voice says. “Now do you want your screen back or not? It literally doesn’t matter to me either way.”

    “You know what I like most about you, Alec? It’s your wonderful telephone manner and easygoing nature.”

    “I’ve been told I have a sparkling personality,” Alec intones, and Magnus bites back a grin. This shouldn’t be doing it for him but he’s intrigued, and that doesn’t usually bode well. “Now shut up and let me fix your computer.”

    “Direct too,” Magnus quips, moving the phone to his other hand so he can take back control of his mouse. “You must look like a potato to balance this out.”

    “Potatoes are neat,” Alec says blandly, then launches into a step-by-step explanation of how to reorient Magnus’s computer screen before Magnus can fully process the reference.

    Summary

    “I give you permission to woo my brother,” Isabelle says seriously. “Please. Do it for the good of humanity.” Magnus places his hands over hers, which are still gripping his shoulders, and stares back at her with an intensity he’s not sure the subject requires.

    “This is in the top five weirdest conversations I’ve ever had,” he says gravely. “But thank you.”

    Magnus is a fashion designer. Alec is decidedly not. Magnus thinks that, despite the fundamental difference in their wardrobes, Alexander Lightwood is a mystery he'd rather like to solve. Possibly with his tongue.

    Summary

    And, like, Alex is a smooth guy, okay? He’s charming and witty and has a killer smile. Generally speaking, he flirts well and it almost always works out for him. Even when it doesn’t, he usually ends up making a new friend. There’s all sorts of things he could say in response. ‘You could help me by letting me buy you a drink’, that’s a classic. Sometimes a well-placed cheesy pickup line about being distracted by someone’s beauty can break the ice. ‘No, but you can feel free to help yourself’ is a good one if the vibe is more hookup than date. These are all options he has.

    What actually comes out of his mouth is “Can I suck your dick?”

    Summary

    Alex sighs, tilting his head back and sinking low in his chair. “What if I scare him off? He’s got a pretty big thing about commitment-”

    “He eats the same thing for breakfast and he wears a ring with his own initials every day,” Nora says, lifting her head up just enough to glare at Alex. “He doesn’t have commitment issues, he’s just a slut. Tell him you want him to be your slut. For the love of all that is holy.”

    --

    Alex accidentally fell hopelessly in love with his roommate and fuck buddy Henry. He tries to plan the perfect confession, but when have any of Alex’s plots worked perfectly?

    Summary

    “I’m English, dear,” Henry tells him, and fuck if the nickname isn’t doing something to Alex too. “Our national sport is rugby, and we play it with a lot less protective gear. Though,” he adds thoughtfully, “rugby players do wear mouth guards, which means they have the significant advantage of generally keeping all their teeth.”

    “We wear mouth guards.” It’s a common misconception, and one that annoys the shit out of him. “And I’ve still got all my teeth. Wanna check?”

    Summary

    Alex pulls back with a sudden gasp, looking a little dazed as he stares unseeing at the wall above Henry's head, and yeah, Henry can relate. His eyes dip to Alex's mouth, reddened and wet and kiss-swollen, and oh, God, he did that. He did that to Alex. Henry did that to Alex because they were just kissing.

    Alex laughs faintly, a little disbelievingly, a soft smile curling his lips - his red, wet, kiss-swollen lips, because that does, in fact, bear repeating. "Oh," Alex whispers, still half-smiling. He finally drags his gaze away from the wall and manages to focus in on Henry's face. "Yeah... fuck, I'm... I think I'm into guys? Um... yeah, pretty sure I'm definitely into guys."

    Summary

    “That floor doesn’t look like it’s very comfortable on your knees, is all.”

    Henry leans forward, scooping out a piece of brownie that got under the counter, somehow. “I wouldn’t worry about that—my knees are quite used to it, I assure you.”

    A ringing silence follows this pronouncement, during which Henry focuses very hard on opening a trap door directly into hell with the power of his mind.

    Or, five times Henry puts his foot in his mouth in front of his customer crush, and one time he puts his dick in his customer crush's mouth instead doesn't.

    Summary

    Henry spins around, glaring at Alex. “For christs sake,” He hisses, holding a hand out between them. “Can we just not? I do not have the capacity to pretend to hate you today.”

    Alex splutters as Henry turns on his heel and starts to walk away. He stares after him helplessly. “Pretend?” After a beat, he starts to follow after him, “What the fuck do you mean pretend?”

    Three years of breathing down each others necks, fighting every time they come in contact with each other. And if Henry is saying every single thing on his end has been pretend, Alex Claremont-Diaz is going to have a fucking breakdown. Because he has been harboring this stupid fucking crush and burying it beneath false antagonism, meeting Henry where he’s at, for three years, and if Henry is implying that they’re both faking it—

    Summary

    “Are you trying to get in my way?”


    To his utter surprise, the guy’s lips tip into a teasing smirk as he carefully closes his book and sits back in his chair to look up at him. “Took you long enough to notice,” he says, and Alex blinks at him, momentarily stunned by the answer along with the fact that he’s apparently British.

    “What?”

    “I really thought you’d come talk to me earlier.”

    (Or, five times Henry annoyed Alex by getting in his way, and one time Alex didn't mind.)

    Summary

    “Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.

    So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.

    Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.

    ***

    Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    “Hi, this is Firefighter Buckley with the 118. Isabel and Josephina got a clean bill of health, sir. You don’t have anything to worry about, I’ll be here with them if they have any questions for us,” Buck reassures, and, surprisingly, he’s met with absolute silence on the other end.

    He waits a few seconds, then lowers the phone to check if the call dropped. It still says ‘Edmundo’ on the screen, and Buck catches a glance at the contact picture of said Edmundo on Isabel’s phone, and gapes for a moment. The guy’s real young, holding a newborn baby in his arms, baseball cap pulled down over most of his face but a dazzling smile, clear as day, peaks out.

    “Right. Uh, thank you, Firefighter Buckley.” And wow, oh. It’s a nice voice too, velvet and rich sounding. A little gravelly, but in a very pleasant way. Buck likes it. But not in any way that means something. Objectively, it’s a nice sounding voice. Right.

    ***

    Or, five times Abuela and Pepa try to matchmake probationary firefighter Buck with freshly single dad Eddie moving to Los Angeles, and the one time they don't need to do anything at all.

    Summary

    “I just– I want you to edge me however you like and not tell me when you'll let me cum,” Alex looked at Henry with eyes that grew darker after every word he uttered. “You can tie me up, leave me hanging or if you want to tease me for hours, you can do that. Or you can just do whatever you want, get creative.”

    “And just for my own curiosity, when should I let you cum?”

    “Well, that's the fun part.”

    Alex pulled his legs off of Henry's lap and bent them under him, surging towards Henry until their noses were touching. Henry's arm immediately wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer. His body hummed with how close Alex was to him. A natural reaction, really.

    “When you decide that I can cum, I want you to not stop after.”

    As they reach the loft, a group of mostly unfamiliar faces turning his way out of curiosity, Cal sends a smile over his shoulder and asks, “So, was your husband rushing off to pick your kid up from school?”

    Eddie looks behind him and debates the pros and cons of just throwing himself over the railing.

    But he can already picture the unimpressed look on Buck’s face when he comes to visit him in the hospital so he, reluctantly, decides against it.

    Summary

    “This is the third fucking time that some random woman has asked me out in the past two weeks. I just want to pick up my son from school without being bothered.” Eddie groaned, dropping his forehead to the table in the loft with a thunk.
    Hen smacked the back of his head as she walked past. “Quit whining, Diaz. You're hot. Deal with it.”
    "I don't even know where they got the idea—”
    “You told one of them you were single,” Buck chimed in from across the loft, looking a little sour. "Single moms are vultures."

    Or: Moms at Christopher's school keep flirting with Eddie, Buck gets prickly about it, and a bake sale clears it all up.

    Summary

    “You have a good partner, Eddie.”

    Eddie flushes, because he knows that her partner isn’t the same as work partner. It’s an assumption they had never bothered to correct at Christopher’s school, mostly because it made it easier for people to understand why Buck was around so often, versus best friend or colleague or legal guardian in case I die.

    “Yeah,” Eddie responds, his voice thicker than he expected. “He’s the best partner I could ask for.”

    Or: Christopher hosts a sleepover, Buck helps, and Eddie realizes he hasn’t been a single dad in years.
