    Summary

    Kneeling on the rug in front of his fireplace was a man. A distant part of Alex’s brain recognized that he was the prettiest fucking man he’d ever seen in his life, but more pressing knowledge made its way to the forefront of his mind, which was that this man was an omega. And he was in heat. The smell that had Alex so captivated was obviously coming from him, which meant the smell of fear was coming from him.

    Then again, if Alex found himself naked, arms tied behind his back, in the middle of a rut and in a stranger’s house, he’d probably be pretty fucking afraid too.

    “The fuck is this?” he hissed quietly.

    Summary

    “Alex,” he whispers, “you can kiss me back. Do you still want to?”
    How can he explain to Henry how terrifying it suddenly is to want to? Because if he kisses that enchanting mouth, he may never recover.
    And then Alex remembers a different version of himself. A younger version, less knocked around by life. That Alex would jump and just hope it wasn’t a cliff.
    That Alex has picked himself up off the rocks too many times.
    But the alternative is to miss this.
    There’s only one Henry in the world: A piano-playing poet who’s making his and Dad’s lives immeasurably better. And he’s waiting, both hands on Alex’s face, to find out if Alex still wants to kiss him.
    So he jumps. Again. And if it’s a cliff, he’ll pick himself up off the rocks.
    Again.
    “Yes,” he whispers, threading his fingers into Henry’s hair, “I still do.”

    Summary

    Against everyone's better judgement, tattoo artist Alex takes up a babysitting job on the side after he forms a connection with the kid over their shared love of art. It doesn't hurt that his dad's kind of hot, too.

    He gets more than he signed up for the longer he spends with them, and figures out that maybe the key to happiness isn't what he thought it was — maybe growing up means being a little childish after all.

    Summary

    It happens momentarily, the first time Alex sees him again. Time slows nearly to a stop— never mind the fact that he’s mid-pour; the bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue he’s using as a floater tipped just so, the golden liquid spilling into the rocks glass getting dangerously close to overflowing.

    In the back of the crowd, on a typically busy Friday night at Allegory, a flash of blond hair pulls Alex’s attention; which wouldn’t be anything new— Alex has a type— except for the laugh cutting clearly through the murmur of conversations. The bright bubble of incandescent joy that he’s somehow still entirely too familiar with, a laugh he would recognize anywhere, regardless of the number of years since it was last heard.

    Or; What happens when you let Fate do her thing? Sometimes it takes 10 years.

    Summary

    “Papi, what are you doing?” he whispered, and Alex smiled at him.

    “Remember how, when I started working here, I told you there was a coworker who talked a little differently than other people because he couldn’t hear? That was Henry,” Alex explained gently.

    Henry watched the two of them carefully, obviously trying to keep up with the conversation, and not for the first time, Alex wished he had a better grasp at British Sign Language.

    “OH!” Antonio exclaimed as he looked back at Henry. “He’s the man you’re learning the funny hands for!”
