    Summary

    Alex is thirteen when he meets Henry.

    Years later, Alex would still remember this moment. He would recall the golden light seemingly emanating from him. He would still be able to close his eyes and feel the casual air of quiet joy and shyness he was cloaked in. Alex would remember that he thought– immediately –I want to know him.

    Or, Henry and Alex meet as teenagers, in a small beach town, where they spend five near perfect summers together. What happens when they meet again as adults, their idealistic summers so far in the past?

    Now complete, as of 9/4.

    Summary

    Henry has had three drinks when this man with glowing brown skin and a linen shirt unbuttoned too low starts towards the table. It’s a gay bar, and they’re a group of attractive people, so this isn’t the first person who’s approached them.

    He’s the first one who looks like that.

    Henry is staring and trying not to, and then Liam says, “Alex!” and gets up out of his seat.

    Summary

    After one too many near-scandals, Henry finds himself trapped. The Queen has decided it’s time for him to marry, but to keep him out of trouble in the meantime, she arranges for an escort for him. Henry has no intentions of taking advantage of that particular, rather humiliating offer. His mind quickly changes, when Alex’s dossier catches his eye.

    Alex never intended to become an escort; he was just helping out a friend. But here he is, facing Prince Henry, the embodiment of privilege. Alex hates everything Henry stands for—until he finds out what the deal with the other man really is.

    Their initial meetings are more than awkward, but soon sparks fly. Yet, their relationship is doomed from the start, and when tensions come to a head, both Alex and Henry have tough choices to make.

    ***COMPLETE AS OF JUNE 2, 2025!***

    Summary

    “Sorry, I don’t know the etiquette for accidentally hooking up with your favorite author’s boyfriend, trashing his life, being hired to work on his house, only to then become starstruck with the realization that he is, in fact, your favorite author.”

    [Or: Alex gets hired to work on some wheelchair accessible accommodations for a Brooklyn Brownstone. There's just one issue.]
