Summary
It's 1930 and Arthur Lester has baptized himself in the gutter and crawled back out to find himself. Beyond the shame his Uranian proclivities may have saddled him with in the past, he's ready to find those parts of himself he'd denied. He walks into a bar.
He leaves with a case and a promise.
OR:
A repressed mess walks into a bar. Stop me if you've heard this one.

Summary
He hadn’t missed it, all these years. Oh, there were flutters, every so often. The dull shimmer of arousal glowing warmly even unheeded as it was. A handsome face in a crowded shop, the too close press of an attractive build on a bus platform, a stranger’s eyes gone crinkled with mirth. But never wholesale lust, and certainly never any impulse to act on those rare inklings

Summary
Peter “Parker” Yang never had a family of his own. Not in the traditional sense, leastwise. The “holdfast your wives and become one flesh” kind. Never had the kind of self-loathing required to deny himself and for some reason those with a higher pay grade had decided somewhere along the line that pitching for the same team was an offense not only to god but to the state and every pearl-clutching flatfoot working a beat. As if it were any business who Parker wanted to dance the horizontal tango with. As if those politicians weren’t also cruising the parks at night while their pious wives waited at home praising their righteous husbands.

Summary
It was a blazingly hot July afternoon, the sort only found melting the asphalt of major east coast cities: plants wilted, tempers flared, and Oscar was regretting his profession as he broiled under his cassock and collar, starch and cotton gone limp and translucent with sweat. The rectory was an absolute, stifling misery, windows open to allow for the pitiful gasps of breeze that hiccuped painfully and seldomly, offering no relief.
--
Or: Oscar has church sex. More news at 8.

Summary
This takes place after Chapter 1 if they had decided to get down to it. Not compliant to the canon I'm creating, so its an AU of an AU!
--
“Though I could think of a thing or two else we could do with that open mouth, sweetness.”
The source of that voice, so close, rumbled through Arthur’s body and landed squarely between his legs. Arthur was not a man that could be accused of being debonaire. He was certainly never going to get any awards as a grand lover. He had had one crush in boyhood, quickly ruptured when a nun found Arthur, moon-eyed and scribbling the boy’s name, had paddled him squarely for “indecency”. Then, Bella in his late teens and marriage in his fresh faced twenties. Bella had been a necessity, a disguise to hide the truth of himself, and each moment with her twisted the knife of his own cruelty in his heart.
Now here he was, 30, face to chest with a sculpted specimen of masculinity that left his mouth dry and his libido burning like a preteen sighting their first stretch of bare skin. He was elated. He was terrified.

Summary
It had been a long and difficult 27 years since the Hail Mary had launched. Not as terrible as it could have been, but not easy. Humanity had survived and adapted, as it always did. There had been terrible wars. There had been incredible acts of kindness. There had been massive scientific breakthroughs. And now, there were two distant blips of Petrova-light, picked up by the Deep Space Network, hurtling home. Two probes, braking hard as they hurtled toward Earth holding the secrets to its salvation. They were late, or at least, not very early, but they were here.
Grace may have made his peace with dying to save Rocky, but Rocky insists they return to Earth.
