Bookmarker's Notes
If you told me five years ago that one day I’d be reading fanfic prominently featuring novak djokovic I would’ve thought you’d lost your mind but such is the power of carlos alcaraz I guess!!
This fic is so sexy and sweet and funny <3 Really captures how playful and charismatic both of them are and how much they genuinely seem to like each other.

Summary
It isn't a decision George has taken lightly. In fact, when it had first occurred to him, he'd brushed the thought away, trying to bury it. But the tendrils of the idea kept creeping through and, before he knew it, had firmly taken root ‘til he couldn't ignore it any longer; he's made a mistake which must be fixed.
He's forty-three, rich as Croesus, and he's been so busy getting richer for the last twenty years that he quite forgot to get married. Something that he intends to rectify as soon as possible.

Summary
The guy who showed up before service was some young guy in his early twenties, a gym rat with neatly coiffed blond hair.
“Does an Italian DILF work here?” He motioned above Carmy’s hand with a flat hand. “Yea high, super blue eyes?”
It took Carmy embarrassingly long to catch up. He just frowned, chugging until— Christ, he meant Richie. Carmy said the first thing that came to mind.
“He’s Polish.”

"I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."
"This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"
"Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."
"Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

Summary
“Come on, you three,” says Connor’s voice, scratchy over the phone. “This Sally-Anne person’s not the end of the world. Maybe you’ll end up liking her!”
“If I hear that harp one more time, I’m killing myself,” says Roman.
A silence: it goes on so long Shiv thinks the phone’s disconnected. “Romey. Roman, you wouldn’t actually kill yourself, would—“
“Don’t be stupid, Connor, he—uh, he says that every fuckin’ day. ‘I’m killing myself’ is how Roman says hello,” deadpans Kendall. Roman and Shiv snicker; Connor took him seriously? Pathetic. This is why Dad thinks Connor’s weak.
“…Oh,” says Connor. “Okay.” Silence again. “Well…well, guys, speaking as someone who went through this when Dad met your mom, my advice is to just make the best of it.”
The Roy siblings during the summer of Sally-Anne.

Summary
It begins as a joke. Emma promises to paint him a wedding portrait and draws back, laughing, when she sees the ill-concealed look of horror on his face.
“What!” she cries, “are you afraid I’ll make you too tall?”
“Nothing of the sort,” replies Mr. Knightley -- her Mr. Knightley, as she has begun designating him in letters to her sister, though Isabella simply calls her husband John. “I simply fear you may be trying to marry me off. And I had thought we’d settled that matter to the contentment of both parties.”

Summary
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

Laurent DeVere is a journalist with ambitions that reach higher than the work he’s given. Then, Senator Damianos Akielos walks into his office with the scoop of a lifetime about his brother, Kastor. But the story needs delicate, dangerous work.
Under the guise of a relationship, the two begin to work together closely, and find themselves grappling with the fact of both Kastor on their heels, and their emerging - and entirely unprofessional - feelings for each other.
