    Summary

    “I picture myself in a small house by the sea, overlooking the water. Writing and reading all day and taking David on long walks and swimming every day. Somewhere really quiet, where there’s not a lot of people. And where nobody thinks of me as Henry Mountchristen.”

    ———

    Fed up of working under his grandmother, Henry quits his job in London, dropping everything for a writer’s life by the sea. He’s desperate to focus on his work and produce something worthy, but a mouthy American with a beautiful smile and a chin dimple has other plans.

    ———

    This fic is fully written and clocking in at around 75k. I’m going to try to update on Saturdays and Wednesdays until we’re done, hopefully bringing us to the end of one long, gay summer ✌️

    *UPDATE: this is now complete and safe to binge 😊

    Summary

    As far as big romantic gestures go, Alex isn’t sure it’s even possible to top standing on a global stage and practically declaring your love for someone on the tail end of a history-defining speech that will probably be printed in textbooks for years to come.

    Never let it be said that Alex is a quitter though. He’s fully prepared to give it his best fucking shot.

    Or: the epilogue - because the best part of the happy ending is getting to live in it.

    Summary

    Alex blinks down at his hands again, studying the lines more carefully. The marks are faded, like they were made days ago, and they’re not painful so much as irritated, like they weren’t made by his own hands. He touches one of the marks, and there’s only the slightest sting in response.

    No, definitely not his.

    And if the marks aren’t his, then they must be—

    It hits him like a slap in the face, his breath catching in his throat. He pushes back from his desk and stares at his skin for so long that he gets a little cross-eyed.

    They belong to his soulmate.

    Alex has a soulmate.

    Summary

    Henry and Alex meet on a stormy evening at a diner in a north Austin suburb. At the end of the evening, Mother Nature intervenes once again and Henry loses Alex's number and wonders if it's fate speaking.

    Alex waits patiently for Henry to call, then less patiently. He searches, unable to find the man he had a connection with at the diner.

    Henry, who still holds out some hope despite giving up, makes one last attempt to push fate along in their favor, hoping it's enough.

    Summary

    “You turn it on so suddenly that I.. I forget myself. You’re just very charming, aren’t you?”

    Alex doesn’t miss a beat. Henry’s shaky breath on him feels like victory. “Maybe I want to charm you. Is that so bad?”

    “Alex,” Henry says, gentle in his sternness. Like he’s not convinced of it either.

    “Is it? Don’t you think you deserve it?”

    ---

    In which Alex meets Henry Fox-Mountchristen; thirty-eight, billionaire owner of FM Media and Percy Okonjo's best man days before the wedding he is then invited to attend. The rest is history.
