Summary
Laurent tugged at his hand. “What’re you – let go!”
Damen didn’t. “Embrace me,” he said.
Laurent’s jaw worked. “You are making this up,” he muttered, but stepped into the circle of Damen’s arms, and stiffly wrapped an arm around him. “The dragon is going to burn us alive.”
Damen patted his shoulder. “Yes, but at least I’ll be with you, sweetheart.”

Summary
It doesn’t matter what Shane looks like because he’s got a jersey and pads and a helmet on. It doesn’t matter what languages he speaks because he’s got a mouthguard clamped between his teeth and too many plays to chew on to even think about talking. It doesn’t matter who his parents are or where people think he should be from because he’s here to play hockey and he’s here to win.
Shane Hollander is very good at hockey.
He’s even better at winning.
--
Everything is harder when you don't know where you fit in. Shane Hollander can attest to that.

Summary
A part of Henry had always assumed he would die within the walls of the library.
It's a statistically sound assumption. He spends most of his waking hours here. He puts too much trust in the wobbly tables he stands on to hang decorations. He dares to use the ancient elevator that screeches and groans during its slow, perilous journey between floors. He often volunteers to go into the boiler room and bang on the unit so it starts up again. And out of pure obligatory politeness, he eats the godawful cookies Janice leaves in the staff break room on Fridays. Obviously, it will be one of these ill-advised choices that causes his untimely death.
Then he walks in.

Summary
Acclaimed mystery novelist Alex Claremont-Diaz is fresh off his latest bestseller and lacking inspiration when Detective Henry Fox brings him in for questioning about a murder. Suddenly, Alex has all the inspiration he needs for a brand-new set of books and Henry has a brand-new and unlikely tagalong. (and maybe, eventually, something much more.)
or, the Castle AU.

Summary
Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.
Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.
Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.
Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.
The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.
Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

On paper, Henry has what most people could only ever dream of having: a perfect, charmed life where he should want for nothing; and yet, he so rarely gets what he actually wants.
And Alex— well, Alex wants to give him everything.

Summary
When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.
To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.
(Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

Summary
Henry is a boring person.
This is an objective fact. It’s been such a constant in his life that it hardly bothers him. He prefers the mundane. Thrives under routine. Tolerates many things poorly: surprise parties, capsaicin, loud noises.
Another objective fact: Henry loves Alex. Alex is not boring at all.
Unfortunately, everyone else in Henry’s life seems to think that a bore like him is incapable of a relationship like theirs— and, more distressingly, that this must mean that Alex simply doesn’t exist.
Or: Five times that no one believed that Henry and Alex were an item, and one time that they all did.

Summary
“It sounds like the Alex I grew up with,” Henry tells him. He pauses, thinking if he can say it, but he holds on to the light, and tries, “The one only I got to see.”
And Alex doesn’t leave him any room for doubt, telling him, “That Alex will always be yours.”
Henry closes his eyes, chin quivering in the wake of new tears, grateful and pained, and even all these years later, still quietly in love.
(In which Henry and Alex were children, growing up together, and Henry had always loved him, a little, a lot. And then they weren’t children anymore, and everything changed, and the memories are haunting, all-consuming, and divine.)

Summary
Henry Fox is only attending this American football game as a PR stunt. That's all it is. He's definitely not fatally attracted to the brash quarterback Alex Claremont-Diaz who had the audacity to publicly call him out for not taking his number at a concert... that would be absolutely idiotic of him.
This fic is finally fucking completed.

Summary
That day at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Alex comes across the very same Prince Henry who just dismissed him having a panic attack in a bathroom. The choice Alex makes then has ripple effects neither of them could have ever expected. What's the story like, when they actually are friends all along?
“So, you’re going back to England tonight, and you’ll spend the next three days pretending you two are the closest and best of friends until we can put this mess behind us.”
And there are reasons he hasn’t told anybody this, good reasons, even though he’s sure June and Nora saw through him ages ago. Faced with his mom’s disappointment, though, and with the realization that the entire world apparently thinks he hates Henry and would willingly shove him into a fucking cake, he can’t stay quiet.
“But we are friends,” he says, vehement and serious. “We have been for years. He’s—he’s probably my best friend, actually, along with Nora.”

Summary
The fight is explosive.
Henry retreats to his office downstairs and Alex sits on the edge of the bed, spine trembling. He replays the conversation in his head, fingers clenching in the bedspread. His eyes squeeze shut and he tries to let it go; tries to stop the thoughts before they form. The comparisons to his parents; the way Henry’s voice had cracked when he called Alex selfish.
It’s just one fight.
One fight.
Every couple fights.

Alex Claremont-Diaz has it all. His mom won the election, he’s got the perfect boyfriend. He gets to love Henry out loud. Everything is great. Perfect.
Except for the itch under his skin every time he goes outside, and the tightness in his chest when he goes online, and the fact that he can’t fucking sleep.
But it's fine. He's fine. Really.

“Dunno, kinda looks like you know what you’re doing. Are those macarons?” Alex asks incredulously after a little while, and a moment later Henry sees him start slowly approaching out of the corner of his eye. “I didn’t know princes could bake.”
“I’d wager not many of them can,” Henry replies as he works, letting one corner of his mouth tug upward.
(In a universe where Alex didn’t go to the royal wedding, three years later Alex and Henry find themselves both competing on an episode of The Great Celebrity Bake Off. Will old hostilities lead to disaster, or is there something else causing all that tension in the tent?)

Summary
Kaz had set aside his cane, hat and coat and he looked oddly delicate now, sitting beside her in his shirtsleeves and vest. His body was angled toward her as much as possible on the small sofa, holding her hand and keeping his bitter-coffee eyes trained on her face. His gloves were still on, but somehow she knew that it was due to the relative strangeness of her parents rather than to hide his hands from her. He held her hand so tightly that she could feel the little slits in the fingertips, little absences of contact from the leather covering the rest of her hand.
