    Summary

    For a long time, Castiel thought that every earthly possession other than the immediately necessary was excess to requirement. But Dean – Dean who named his car, who keeps a photograph of his mother in his wallet, some thirty-plus years after her death, who still has the crumpled ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign with a sleeping pelican emblazoned on it from the Microtel outside of Roanoke where he first kissed Castiel, clumsy and unsure, under the unsteady fluorescence of an exhausted bathroom bulb – is sentimental.

    It puzzles Castiel, where Dean draws the line between what is meaningful and what it is worthless.

    Summary

    Alex isn’t stupid. James has experienced far too many technical difficulties to truly be the man pictured on his dating profile. Best case scenario, Alex spent the last few months of his life admitting his darkest secrets to a bored housewife in Minnetonka. He should stop. It’s ridiculous that he ever started. Even if James is real, which he obviously isn’t, he’s still a missed hookup in London and Alex is, as he ever was, just another lonely man in New York.

    He’s going to delete the app. He’s definitely going to delete it.

    Or: Alex gets catfished.

    Summary

    In order to survive, to protect; to save his mind from the distraction, to spare his heart the ache, Sherlock deletes John Watson.

    Sherlock deletes John Watson.

    And then he comes back home.

    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!
