Summary
He’d spent most of the week sitting on the floor with his laptop open on the table, typing away about absolute nonsense in between sessions and phone calls with immigration and a lawyer trying to see if it’s possible there’s any way in the world he can stay in America while this gets sorted. The good news is this doesn’t bar him from trying again and just returning when it all gets sorted. Not that that will be easy, but still. It’s a possibility.
He makes the absolutely foolish mistake, after pouring his second drink, of googling ‘marriage visa’ as if that will be the answer to any or all of his problems. Allows himself a brief, excruciating moment to imagine he has someone to marry and make that a reality.
But then…he does, does he not?
OR, a greencard marriage AU

Summary
His door creaks. “Alex.”
Henry. Fresh tears splash over his cheeks. “Since when do you ignore my boundaries?”
“Since you—” Henry sputters. “For Christ’s sake, I haven’t allowed myself a single shred of hope in four years, can you blame me for not being able to stand it?”
—
Alex’s sexuality—straight—is the punchline of most Super Six jokes. He starts figuring out why that bothers him so much.

Summary
When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.
To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.
(Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

Summary
Alex is an intergalactic diplomat who's come to Windsor to secure a fair trade deal for Cerulea. Henry is a pleasure companion hired by Alex’s counterparts across the negotiation table who’s come to Alex’s room to offer his services. Pleasure companions are a hugely complex part of Windsor's fine society — accepting or declining sex from one can constitute a massive social faux pas.
Alex accepts.

Summary
Henry doesn’t doubt that, just as much as he doesn’t doubt now that Alex won’t have a single issue with him being trans. In another life, when Henry whispered it in the quiet hours of the night, he didn’t. In another life, when he kissed Henry anyway, he didn’t.
In another life. In this one, when Alex meets his eyes, all there is left behind them is a cold glare that freezes Henry to his soul.
One year ago, Henry had a whirlwind of a day with Alex after a chance meeting in a coffee shop, only to leave in the morning to protect his heart. He doesn't expect to see Alex again, until he shows up at June's wedding and finds out her brother is the same Alex he hasn't been able to get out of his mind for a year - and he's pissed.
