REAL LIFE AU
SAME AGE MALEC
Businessman Alec
Med student MagnusAlec and Magnus met when they were thirteen. Alec realized that he was in love at the age of fifteen. At twenty-five they share an apartment. But they’re not dating, of course. As much as Alec might want to.
Their lives as they’ve been are pushed into a chaos when Magnus’ father announces that he’s chosen a wife for his son and expects him to marry soon. Not knowing how else to avoid losing his best friend, Alec suggests a fake-engagement. Equally desperate, Magnus accepts.
That Alec’s still halfway (fine, head over heels) in love with Magnus? A minor hiccup. He can still keep his secret.

Summary
"When I was at rock bottom, you showed me that life gets better. Because of you, I got the help I needed to be in a better place for myself and for my son. Maybe your lucky break will come soon too. Even if you don't believe it yet, I know you’ll get it right when it happens - whatever it is."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buck realizes that it takes a village to raise a child when a baby girl is left on his doorstep. Left with a note that tells him she's his, Buck tries to do the right thing and step up to the role that was given to him, finding himself responsible for taking care of an entire human being who is depending on him.
And with Eddie's help, who is on his own journey of healing and self-acceptance, they both learn about the readymade family they've always had as they end up co-parenting their children together and becoming something more.

Summary
Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?
This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
-----
“You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”“Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.
Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.
“So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?
