    Summary

    Four men walk into a club already knowing each other’s names.

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov know Alex Claremont-Diaz as the President’s son, and Prince Henry of England as a figure the world watches carefully. Alex and Henry know Shane and Ilya as fierce rivals on the ice, headlines wrapped around their talent and tension alike.

    What none of them expect is how easy it feels to sit down together and choose normal.

    Over shared drinks and quieter conversations, rivalry gives way to recognition, and guarded politeness softens into something more honest. They talk about love under pressure, about choosing partners in worlds that rarely make room for softness, and about how different kinds of courage can still look the same when stripped of titles and expectations.

    For one night, they are not symbols, not rivals, not headlines. Just four men, learning from one another, and discovering that sometimes the first meeting is enough to leave a mark.

    Summary

    Divorce lawyer Alex went to his sister’s wedding to drink, snark, and quietly confirm that marriage is a huge scam. Then he meets Henry Fox: the dreamy, sincere venue owner who cracks his cynical shell.

    Between stolen moments and rejections, running scared and dragging each other back, Alex has to face the terrifying truth; he might have been wrong about love all along.

    “If he’d let his fears win, Alex would have missed this. This man. This soft, sunlit version of himself. He would have missed every bloom.”

    Or; the one where a divorce lawyer and a wedding venue owner fight it, fear it, and fall in love anyway.

    Summary

    When his birthday postcard arrives, Alex doesn't expect it to come with a letter from a stranger. And when he writes back, he certainly doesn't expect a reply.

    But one letter turns to two, and then into dozens more. What begins as a mistake turns into something neither of them could have predicted. Something worth waiting for.

    “I think I’ve been falling for you since you were just ink on paper.”

    Or: the modern letter-writing AU.

    Summary

    “I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”

    “Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.

    (After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)

    Summary

    It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.

    It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.

    (After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)
