Summary
In The Tempest, Shakespeare writes: “The past is prologue.”
Alex really does not know the relevant context of this quotation within the play itself, but that is the first thing he thinks of as he looks up from the silver film of the stagnant coffee in his cup and sees a familiar man slouched over a pocket-sized book, that man being his former closest friend and the proclaimed love of his life and current estranged stranger.
Maybe the past really is the prologue to whatever is about to happen as Alex grabs his cup off of the table and languidly saunters over to where Henry is sitting, perusing the booklet for Talk Fahrenheit’s latest record – A Bored King’s Advice Column – with a quizzical brow and a cup of coffee and a book of Frank O’Hara’s poetry and says, “Yeah, I like their older stuff better, too.”Series

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

Summary
Sure, Alex can admit in the deepest recesses of his mind, at two in the morning, when the Liszt is playing forlornly like some kind of bugle call for grief, that whoever the fuck lives next to him is on another level with the keys.
Or
Alex has no idea who his piano playing neighbor is, but Alex knows one thing for certain… This means war.- Language:
