Summary
“You have an affinity for breaking through windows,” Laurent said. Immediately, he regretted it. It recalled times when they were beginning their rapprochement. He did not want rapprochement. He did not want anything between them.
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. – Winston Churchill

Summary
It happens on a random morning in May when Alex, age fourteen, pads into the kitchen to greet his mother and steal a waffle from June's plate and sees a man sitting at their breakfast counter, reading a newspaper, a cup of coffee raised to his lips. Like he belongs. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. June doesn't seem to give the man a second thought. She merely flicks Alex on the forehead and takes back the waffle. Ellen isn't worrying, either. In fact, she's talking to him. Asking what his schedule is like. Making plans for dinner.
Alex has never seen this man before in his life.

Summary
"Just, you know," Henry says. "If your mum weren't the president and you were just a normal bloke living a normal life, what things might be like? What you'd be doing instead?"
After being discovered on Instagram as a teenager, Alex Diaz is thriving as a social media influencer and model who just landed a high profile, high fashion contract with Calvin Klein. Alex can get any girl he wants, and he’s loving it. Meanwhile, British poet Henry Fox has just arrived in L.A. to kick off a North American tour promoting his new, steamy book of gay erotic poetry, and he’s attracting a lot of attention.
Bad blood is immediately sparked between them when Henry blows Alex off at their first meeting. Several tabloid rumors and an Instagram tantrum later, Alex and Henry are reluctantly thrust together to make nice, resulting in a grudging friendship and a magnetism between them that Alex can't explain. Why is Henry's poetry making Alex feel like this? And just what is it about Henry Fox that gets to him so much?- Language:

Summary
The corner of Henry’s mouth. It’s disappeared now, covered by the oxygen mask fixed securely around his head, but if Alex concentrates hard enough, he can see it sprawled out in front of him. Every ridge, every bend and edge and turn of it.
He knows Henry’s heart. And that’ll be enough.
(or: the one where henry gets shot and alex is a goddamn mess.)

Summary
Everything is just getting too much for Alex, he's swamped with school and work and life but he's fine. He's really fine. Except he isn't.
Alex has gone well past his usual point of self-destruction. With pressures mounting in almost every area of his life, he's about to make reckless decisions, and despite his best intentions, this time he's taking Henry down with him.
Inspired by the fact Alex is canonically self destructive, and deals with his anxiety in the worst possible way.
“When he was younger and the anxiety got this bad, when the stakes in his life were much, much lower, this would be the point of self-destruction. If he were in California, he’d sneak the jeep out and drive way too fast down the 101, doors off, blasting N.W.A., inches from being painted on the pavement.” - RWRB.

Summary
“You will, of course, need to learn to behave properly while in my body,” Laurent said, offhandedly. His eyes moved slowly from Damen’s face to his torso and back again. “We can begin with your posture.”
Damen straightened up in his seat. “My posture is fine. Perhaps we should begin with your attitude.”
The smirk Laurent gave him looked out of place on Damen’s face. “Yes, I suppose we should. Tell me, how are you so insufferably pleasant all the time?”

Summary
'There was a telephone number. Having it was as singular a privilege as possibly imaginable. As such, the person on the other end of the line – should he pick up – was called nothing less than the 'Untouchable Prince'.
Honestly, Damen had no idea how a phone sex line could possibly pay off when the clients were a select few meticulously screened and regularly weeded out by the single operator, but after another night of trying his hardest not to jerk off to the haunting image of his haughty neighbor, he couldn’t care less.'
