Summary
Simon works at a queer book store in Atlanta. The shop next door sells coffee and homemade pastries. Simon swears he spends so much time there because it’s so close to where he works, and it smells so good. Like really, so good. Barista Bram has nothing to do with it or his perpetual blushing cheeks.
Bram swears his collection of books is growing so quickly because he finally has a little expendable income. It’s not because Simon keeps recommending books that Bram just can’t say no to or that Bram's trying to work up the courage to ask him out one book at a time.

Summary
Bram always thought his longstanding crush on Simon Spier was two things: 1) perpetual and 2) impossible. Simon had girlfriends. Simon had an effervescent personality that seemed to pull people to him. Simon didn't freeze in the moment or constantly get in his own way. Bram envied him and wanted him, but he knew there was no way straight Simon could return his feelings. He'd accepted that already.
All that changed when Simon came out to their lunch table one afternoon. Suddenly, Bram's crush wasn't necessarily impossible; at least, it wasn't impossible in the same way. Now if only he could find a way to communicate without stumbling over all his insecurities. That's when he decides to slip a note into Simon's locker. And with that simple note, a series of emails begins. Behind a pseudonym, Bram feels freer to be himself and open up to Simon. But he has no idea how to bridge the new virtual gap between them.

Summary
When living in two different towns at two different colleges became too difficult, Bram and Simon decided that breaking up was their most mature option. Bram hates it, but after two years, he's wasted too many chances to turn back. Now, they haven't even spoken in a few months. Bram hates that too but has no idea how to bridge the gaps between them, both literal and figurative.
So, why is Simon texting him so late at night out of the blue?
(An oops-I-didn't-mean-to-send-that-to-you fic. Part of a series of alternate universe/canon-compliant spinoffs I've been thinking about for too long and need to put down in writing. Why not do it during pride month?)

Summary
Scott’s been obsessed with Isaac Lahey since he was fourteen years old. He’s studied the singer’s life more closely than he ever studied any subject in high school, and now, post-college, he’s still stupidly in love with the unattainable pop star. He’s been to every concert in driving distance; once he even got to meet Isaac very briefly for a VIP photo opportunity. He had every album, the unauthorized autobiography, and even the live concert dvd stored away on a bookshelf in his bedroom. It was probably a little embarrassing, but never let it be said that Scott McCall half-assed anything.
When he’s particularly bored and seeking like-minded fans, he ventures onto Omegle to chat in the video section. It’s there when one night he sees the real Isaac Lahey via a video connection as the pop star is on vacation from recording and enjoying meeting his fans in the weird, cam-to-cam environment. Scott’s whole world flips and reorients itself in some alternate universe where he actually has a chance at friendship with the singer. And…maybe more (his little heart tries in vain not to hope for too desperately)?

Summary
Scott hasn't told his mother that he's married. It isn't that he wants to keep her in the dark; it's that the marriage is sort of a favor to his friend Isaac, a British immigrant in need of a Green Card and safety from his father's abuses back home. So, Scott just assumes that maybe it's best not to tell her. That becomes a problem when Isaac ends up in the hospital in a coma.

Summary
Scott's family was cursed generations ago, and since then, they've each suffered from la llamada, a calling that reveals their único amor in a (quite literal) shocking burst of emotion. Almost everyone he'd ever heard of finding their único did so before they were 21 years old. Here Scott was, a 27 year old veterinarian, and he still had not heard la llamada or suffered from the rumored maldición. He was losing hope that there was someone out there that he could love the way his abuelita loved his abuelo—the way his mother tried to love his father.
A last minute appointment with a sad puppy and his equally sad owner changes things. Unfortunately for Scott, not all romances are guaranteed, and not even all únicos return the love they are given. He'd known that since the day his father left and never looked back.
He hoped desperately that his único Isaac was nothing like his father.

Summary
When he starts college, Isaac also starts a blog where he posts photos of his body only--never his face. They're aesthetic, but he knows they're also mostly soft-core porn. It is what it is. Two years after starting the blog, one of his followers messages him privately. This leads to a shocking discovery and pleasantness Isaac couldn't have planned if he even knew how.
(This is probably crack and just a fluffy little thing to get the scenario out of my head while I work on a longer piece.)
