    Summary

    Booktoker Alex didn’t mean to start an internet feud with beloved writer Henry Fox, it just kind of… happened. One off-hand comment on a TikTok live, and suddenly he’s public enemy number one. But when he finally reads the book he trashed, all he can do is hope for Henry’s forgiveness, and maybe, somehow, a chance to win his heart.

    Summary

    But Henry is not Alex’s.

    He won’t ever be Alex’s to hold and cherish and love.

    Because Henry chose someone else.

    That searing pain is why Alex has folded his limbs into a patio bench on their balcony, feeling petulant and hating himself for it. It’s the reason that he’s a quarter of the way into the bottle he’s holding and pouting up at the sky, looking for stars that he knows are there but aren’t showing themselves to him, like maybe they’ve abandoned him, too.

    He feels like he’s staring up at an endless expanse of darkness and wishing on fucking nothing, his prayers falling on deaf ears and getting forever lost in that infinite abyss.

    Summary

    Henry stares at his family. Stares and stares and stares as their words settle in his mind and travel down to his heart, then further down over his ribs and over the soft ridge of his stomach to settle on that mark sitting on his hip.

    It doesn't quite make sense, what they’re saying, because his mark has been public knowledge for at least twelve years now, having been leaked by a scumbag journalist, spying on him while he relaxed on a private beach with Pez when he was only twenty.

    He’s all but resigned himself to the belief that his soulmate had decided he didn’t want him. And that’s fair, because he’s a bloody prince and not everyone is willing to subject themselves to that level of scrutiny. It’s fine. Acceptable. Henry’s accepted it and moved on.

    Only.

    Summary

    “Now, I don’t know about you, but I distinctly remember telling you to stay.”

    “Sorry,” she said, not sounding very sorry at all. Henry made a mental note to teach her how to at least pretend to be contrite.

    “You’re… she - you can speak English?”

    Henry looked up. The man was turned towards him now. His eyes were the first thing Henry noticed. Wide and a deep brown, with impossibly long and dark eyelashes that seemed to touch his cheeks every time he blinked. And his mouth - it was open now in surprise and disbelief, but it was perfectly curved and bitten pink, and Henry had no problem picturing it curled into a smirk. A handsome serial killer, then.

     

    Single dad Henry loses his daughter at the Met and ends up finding more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    It's a split-second decision. He drops his towel aside and beelines next to the blonde, grabbing a bottle of vodka on his way so he doesn’t look suspicious, and slams it loudly on the counter next to the pair. The blonde jumps and stares at him with wide eyes.

    “Hey, sweetheart,” Alex drawls out; he’s careful to move slowly but he leans over the counter anyway, going up on his tiptoes, and lets his lips brush against his cheeks. The blonde hairs tickle his forehead. “And here I was wondering where my favorite person went.”

    During his shift at his bar, Out Law'ed, Alex saves him from a handsy flirt by pretending to be boyfriends. They keep it going.

    Summary

    "Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"

    "Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"

    Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.

    It was a little girl.

    "Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"

    "Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."

     

    Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.

    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]

    ***

    On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.

    Alex gets shot instead.

    'Engaged!'

    Mo Guan Shan reads over the one word again, figures blurring together, word rolling around his head and no longer making any sense. He feels his hands shake as he puts away the paper and his vision blurs.

    He Tian, engaged. Well wasn't that something.

    It feels like being hit by a truck.

    Summary


    Binghe’s first impression of Shen Yuan was thus: He’s so young! Twenty-five at the very most, though twenty-two was a more likely estimate. Still stage-aged! That was crazy young for a Cang Qiong ballet instructor! Most of Binghe’s teachers were in their late thirties or forties — former pros who’d aged out of performing after years and years of intense physical strain.

    He must be the youngest teacher I’ve ever had, Binghe thought. Then, his face growing hot at the thought, The most beautiful, too. No contest.


    Fourteen year-old Luo Binghe is a student at the prestigious, highly competitive Cang Qiong Academy of Modern Dance. There, he meets Shen Yuan — an enigmatic (and devastatingly beautiful) dancer-turned-teacher.

    Summary

    Yoga Instructor Luo Binghe makes an ill advised bet with his employee to prove that he is not a sex addict and can stop sleeping with the hot clients whenever he wants.

    Then Shen Yuan walks in.

    ---

    What walked into his studio was the physical embodiment of every secret bisexual leaning Binghe had ever had, condensed into one delicately boned man in prAna compression leggings and loose tank top with the sides cut open to reveal tantalizing glimpses of his rib cage and the barest hint of a pair of pink areolas. The man looked up at Binghe with soft black eyes behind his round glasses that just made them look even bigger. His thin, soft-looking lips curved up in a smile.

    Binghe felt his own grin freeze.

    “I’m Shen Yuan, I’m here for your three o’clock one-on-one?”

    “Great!” Binghe’s mouth said, while his brain continued to buffer. “Go ahead and get your mat set up while I check something in front. I’ll be right back.”

    He let himself out of the solo studio and caught Hualing’s eye over by the counter. “I’ll bring your money in the morning, bitch.”

    Summary

    As a young disciple, Luo Binghe meets a kind yet mysterious young master who takes a shining to him.

    As an emperor, Luo Binghe is gifted a captive.

    The poacher bows low and retreats into the shadows for a moment as Luo Binghe watches him with a bored look from his throne, one leg swung carelessly over the other.

    Feathers strew the cage, and the figure looks human. It’s screeching and cursing, voice broken, and Luo Binghe does not feel a single thing stir within him. Sweating under the unimpressed look, the demon reaches a scaly hand between the bars of the cage and tugs at the sack over the creature’s head, yanking harshly.

    Time ceases for a moment; Luo Binghe’s stomach drops through the ground. A battered man looks up at him, deep grey eyes widening as their gazes meet. Luo Binghe’s chest clenches, and his hands stiffen at the sight. His heart thumps loudly in his throat, and the air escapes from his lungs, leaving him in a stunned silence.

    “Binghe?” rasps a familiar voice.

    Summary

    The first time Shen Qingqiu feels it, he thinks he’s experiencing some sort of minor qi deviation.


    “Shizun,” Luo Binghe asks quietly. “Are you okay?”

    “Am I not allowed to look at my husband?” Shen Qingqiu asks, doing his best not to get snippy. After all he’s a Peak Lord, a powerful cultivator, a man that has cheated death. There’s no reason for him to act like a needy spouse. 

    “My lord,” the servant leans down again with their voice practically purring as they refill a cup that’s only a quarter empty. It catches Luo Binghe’s attention, interrupting the beaming look he had been about to shoot towards Shen Qingqiu. 

    Despite the fact that Luo Binghe looks more bemused than entranced, Shen Qingqiu feels the porcelain cup in his own hand crack.
