    Summary

    Agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen is an asshole.

    Alex is 90% sure those exact words are going in this mission report. Yeah, they’re supposed to be objective when writing this shit up, but that isn’t his opinion. It’s a fact.

    (CIA agent Alex Claremont-Diaz and MI6 agent Henry Fox-Mountchristen don’t exactly get along, but that doesn’t keep their respective agencies from insisting they work together as partners. Then a mission in Colombia changes everything, and their relationship begins to shift and grow into something that neither of them ever expected… and something that could have deadly consequences.)

    Summary

    Alex doesn’t even know how he does it most of the time. He’ll take his glasses off for five minutes while he’s working to rest his eyes, and somehow David will snag them off the coffee table and run off with them. He doesn’t chew them, thank god, but the slobber is bad enough. Plus, there’s the fact that Alex has to go on a search to find whatever random place he’s managed to hide them.

    Except… the places the glasses end up don’t seem to be exactly random.

    (Alex's new roommate has a puppy with a penchant for theft—and, seemingly, strong opinions on where Alex needs to be.)

    Summary

    “It’s just — I’ve had such a hard time feeling like I really belonged. I think that’s what got me in the slump in the first place. But coming back here, seeing all the love I still got even though I’m not on the Rangers anymore… that really helped. And being on the Mets, being in New York — you helped with all of that. More than you’ll ever know.”

    Or, Alex and Henry are dumb, horny disasters. With an added bonus of baseball.

    Summary

    Three years after Ellen Claremont’s re-election, a series of complex, cumulative events lead Alex and Henry to decide they need to break up: it’s mutual, and it breaks both of their hearts to pieces. Ten years after that, circumstances bring them back together and they have to decide whether trying again is worth the risk. Life changes, and then changes again, over two conversations.

    Summary

    Alex swallows audibly, eyes darting all over Henry’s face. “Your Ro— Henry.” And oh, that’s the timbre with which Henry wants to hear his name come out of Alex’s mouth; it’s low and a little frantic, and it tugs at something in Henry’s navel. “I’m twice your age.”

    “Do you think I’m twenty?”

    “Jesus Christ, I rounded for dramatic effect.” Alex fixes him with a look that’s half frustration, half something Alex is trying very hard not to let show. The thing is, though, that Henry became an expert at covert glances and hidden signals during his time at Oxford, and he’d bet his entire ridiculous Crown allowance that Alex wants him as badly as he wants Alex.

    Or, Alex is a senator; Henry is a prince who knows exactly what he wants.

    Summary

    It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.

    A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.

    Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.

    Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.

    And that’s just how it starts.

    Summary

    "Okay, kids, settle down, we're all friends here," Nora cuts in. "And we haven't discussed where the night is going yet. I'm of the personal opinion that we should offer our British guests the quintessential American coming-of-age experience." Alex's eyes widen in what can only be sheer delight.

    "What, like beer pong?" June says, nose wrinkling.

    "No," Alex interjects. "Truth or dare."

    "You read my mind, Alexander." Nora turns to open the mini-fridge. "What would everyone like to drink?"

    "Henry and I will take vodka if you've got it," Pez says. Henry narrows his eyes at Pez, trying to communicate his alarm, but Pez simply grins back, feral, licking his top teeth.

    Summary

    She finds that she misses Poppy’s company, the warmth of her overstuffed room, the smell of cinnamon and sugar in the air no matter what Poppy’s baked that day. A day goes by and it’s fine, but when a few days pass, there’s this empty feeling, this restlessness that’s not unlike what she’s come to call her insomnia. But instead of needing to move to get it out, she itches to talk, or be talked at — to just spend time in Poppy’s presence.

    She wonders if Poppy feels the same.

    or:

    Minnie’s not trying to grieve, and she’s not trying to befriend the new Hogwarts matron. But neither of these are things that she can prevent, and maybe that’s ok.

    Summary

    Alex Claremont-Diaz has done it again. The Texas-born singer-songwriter released his fourth studio album second skin Thursday at midnight.

Fans are clamoring to be the first to uncover the mystery girl at the center of it all, although Claremont-Diaz remains tight-lipped on the subject…

    ***

    Or: Alex Claremont-Diaz is a singer-songwriter rising up in the music industry. Henry Fox is the shining star of an acting empire.

    Summary

    One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.

    Alex very narrowly does not break something.

    (When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?

    Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is a star on the rise.

    A wildcard up-and-coming new actor who finds himself thrust into the Hollywood limelight when he’s nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his small-budget indie movie. It’s his more than he could have imagined in his wildest dreams. That is, until he discovers that also in his category is his mortal enemy: Henry Fox – generically attractive, completely boring and part of an acting dynasty that stretches back generations. In short, everything Alex hates about Hollywood.

    So when a comment Alex makes about Henry in an interview goes viral, and the two find themselves thrust together through awards season, Alex can’t help but think his dream has become his worst nightmare.

    Except, maybe – just maybe – Henry isn’t quite what he seems.

    Summary

    Charlie wanted Harry, but he’d never planned on having him. He’d never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadn’t planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance.

    Apparently, it wasn’t a very popular plan.

    This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.

    Summary

    The day you get the most important email of your life, there’s a new black skidmark on the wall of the stairwell, and you know exactly whose fault it is.
    “Margaret,” you intone to the harried, wild-haired woman in the lobby.
    She sighs at you as she tries to jimmy her mail key loose. “I know.”
    It wouldn’t even be that bad if the kid would just skateboard outside. Or get good at skateboarding. Either of those things. Maggie’s a nice lady, though, and she’s had “trying my best” scribbled all over her since they moved into 6B maybe eight years ago. So you try not to be a dick, even if her son is a gold-standard pain in the ass. He’s good for three things: smells, noise, and reminding you how big Eddie must be by now.

    Summary

    “Wow,” James laughs. “You’ve got it bad.”

    “Reckon? I’m not even sure why I’m telling you about all this. You’ve never had these problems, have you? You’re as straight as they come. You wear socks and sandals, for crying out loud!”

    James’s eyes flick over to Lily, who’s highly amused over there on her perch but says nothing, clearly not wanting to callously out James to their son without his prior consent. Which is decent of her, of course, but he really could do with a little bit of assistance from his wife as he grapples for the right words.

    “Erm,” James laughs nervously, because despite the awkwardness, maybe he really can help here. “Ah, no. Straight?” He clears his throat. “No, not so much.”

    Harry’s brow furrows. “You and… Sirius?”

    James shakes his head. “Not Sirius. But- ah, did he and Remus ever tell you the story of how they met?”

    Harry looks yet more confused. “You went to uni with Remus, right? You introduced them?”

    “Right,” James says, mouth curling up at the side. “I went to uni with Remus. I introduced them.”
