    Summary

    The guy grins and walks up to Henry. He sticks his hand in Henry’s face for a fist bump and says, “Hey bro, it’s Vincent. We went on a date here the other week.”

    “Err—right,” Henry says, looking awkward. “Can I help you with something, Vincent?”

    “I’m here to shoot my shot again,” Vincent says confidently. “I just feel like we really could’ve connected if—”

    Which is when Alex slides his chair over, slings an arm around the back of Henry’s seat and says, “Sorry, bro, but he’s already taken.”

    -

    In which the hot guy at the coffee shop keeps bringing all his first dates there when Alex is just trying to study. His name, not that Alex is eavesdropping (much), is Henry. Henry likes dogs and his tea with a splash of Jane Eyre and honestly Alex would make a way better first date for him than all those other guys combined. When one of Henry’s old dates shows up uninvited, Alex is only too happy to prove his point.

    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.

    Summary

    The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.

    “God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”

    Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

    Summary

    “Honestly, I don’t know what came over me. But aren’t you the one who kept telling me to live my life? So here I am, doing just that.”

    “By pretending to be someone’s boyfriend??”

    Alec sighs. “Look, Izzy. I– I can’t just leave him, okay? The lie was already said, and you didn’t see his reaction earlier. He was so relieved and comforted to have a loving boyfriend taking care of him. I can’t take that away from him in his vulnerable state. I’ll just pretend until his memories come back.”

    “And what if they don’t?”

    “The doctor is positive that the amnesia is just temporary. Besides, his eyes will be uncovered in about four to five weeks, so regardless, he’ll be able to find out the truth by then.”

    “And what would you tell him then?”

    Alec sighs again, his head beginning to ache. “I don’t know. I’ll think about it. But for now, he’s relieved and happy. And Izzy, I… I want to finally live before I die. To be reckless. To be happy. To love and be loved."

     

    Or, Alec saves a stranger and falls in love, thinking it will be temporary… And ends up with forever.
