    Summary

    Alex gets the call at 7:57am.

    It’s from an unknown number, so he answers it with an accent on his tongue and laughter in his throat, ready to troll the scammer for all they’re worth. But the voice on the other side of the line is serious, solemn, when she asks, “Is this, I apologize, all I’ve been given are initials, AGCD?”

    He frowns, turning away from the coffee shop he’d been about to enter. “Who’s asking?”

    There’s a moment of hesitation on the other end. “There’s been an incident. On the individual's phone, there’s a sticker. It says, if found, return to AGCD, alongside this phone number. Does it sound familiar?”

    Alex freezes in the middle of the sidewalk. “What kind of incident?”

    --

    Or, Henry's been in an accident.

    Summary

    Alex met the love of his life on vacation in Vegas, two steps away from a couple of Vegas showgirls trying to pawn off photos. They were stunning, but Alex knew the scam, and his attention had already strayed beyond them to a man who had dropped his bag, items splaying all over the strip for drunk or high tourists to stoop down and sweep away with. Alex had dropped to his knees in an attempt to help pick everything up before it was too late.

    His hand wrapped around a bottle of sunblock stronger than the sun itself, and then he looked up to hand it over, and, well.

    Time stopped.

    Summary

    The first night of camp with Henry is always weird. Weird in the sense that they haven’t seen each other in nearly eleven months, but Alex knows that Henry has been thinking about him in the months leading up to camp. Alex is guilty of it too; often the first thing he thinks of after applying to be a counselor is seeing Henry, Henry and his stupid blond hair and stupid English accent and stupidly gorgeous face, and thinking about just how he could outdo him in pranks this year.

    Alternatively, the camp counselor AU that nobody asked for.

    Summary

    So, Henry’s life in Sandford is fine. Not demonstrably better or worse than his life in London, just different. And just boring enough that he catches himself hoping something interesting might happen.

    As a police officer, he should have known better.

    (When he's transferred to a new position in the country, Henry expects to be bored and miserable. He doesn't expect to find a gorgeous, vibrant American seemingly determined to drive him up the wall, nor does he expect to end up tracking a murderer—especially when all the clues seemingly point to the man he's helplessly falling in love with.)

    Summary

    “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to sully my honor there, cowboy…” Henry reaches one hand up, letting his middle finger trace his cheekbone. “…Steal my virtue, even.” His tone is as teasing and as flirtatious as he thinks he can manage.

    He’s taking a page out of his romance novel, his confidence coming back to him in an unpredictable wave. That’s how it seems to operate, ebbing and flowing against Henry’s will. He tries to ride it as it crashes to shore.

    Alex smiles, eyes shimmering with playfulness. “Promise I’m a gentleman, darlin’.” His calloused hands creep underneath Henry’s shirt, fingertips pressing into perfectly soft skin. He’s closer now, lips inches from Henry’s ear, “Unless you’d rather I wasn’t.”


    Henry Mountchristen is left alone for the first time in his life.

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is a cowboy that shows up and points a gun at his head.
