    Summary

    A sea of dark curls. Warm, kind eyes. A slanted, smiling mouth, a dimple carved into the side. One hand holding a tall, steaming coffee, the other a mug full of Henry’s favorite tea. A whisper, a brush of fingertips in the trade off. The more important details.

    “Hey, sweetheart.”

    It’d be something out of Henry’s most treasured fantasies if he didn’t already know they’d be the last words this man ever says.

    +

    Henry fixes anomalies in other people's timelines. It's quite predictable and impersonal work for the most part.

    (Save for when it seems intent on unraveling his own, of course.)

    Summary

    Terry Milkovich thought a nun and a plastic bag were the worst things to ever happen to him. Instead, it turns out to be an afterlife where his spirit is tied to his children so that he’s forced to witness each living happily now that he’s gone. While his time with the first three kids had been relatively brief, the universe seems intent on forcing him to spend the most time with Mickey and his giant ginger husband.

    Summary

    “David?”

     

    That voice. The most beautiful sound in the world.

     

    David scrambles to his feet, performing a perfunctory stretch before leaping off his bed and bounding down the hallway. His heartbeat accelerates when he sees his Henry, wrapped up in a scarf, looking soft and snugglable. And oh! Behind him is the other guy.

    Summary

    With three children to raise, he got a steady job working in a warehouse. It was a job he enjoyed. He started out moving boxes around but when he was trained to drive the forklift, he got enough of a raise to move the family out of the East End and into a nicer neighborhood. The house was small, but it was theirs. It had a tree in the yard for the boys to climb and have friends over to play. He even started taking the boys out to play catch on Sundays before he left for work. The dining room had a spot for a little china cabinet, and Gemma was so proud to be able to fill it with her wedding china. He felt like he was being a good husband and father and provider, a real success in life.

    Until the accident.
