    Summary

    Miles Kane: the only disruption in Alex's white picket fence life. He'd moved to a very small town and gotten a job at the elementary school, hoping to work on his book while he lived a calm and sunny life. When he'd first settled into town, he'd been pleased to find that there were little to no single women his age that he might find distracting from his life of zen. That was, of course, before he met the lanky sixth grade teacher.
    That was a little over a year ago. It had been an uphill trudge since then. Or downhill stumble, rather, since Alex somehow became a bumbling idiot every time the other man was around - rightly so, too, as Miles wasn't too subtle about his elongated gazes and 'under the cover' romantic quips he tossed around.

    Summary

    All too quickly, Merlin becomes painfully, embarrassingly aware of how he must look, hair uncombed and messy, dressed in old sweats and an oversized t-shirt that reads THE CAT'S MEOW. At least he'd remembered to shave that morning.

    (A Halloween-y sequel can be found here.)

    Summary

    It all starts in Paris. Miles starts to notice some things about his supposedly platonic friend Alex- some things he probably shouldn't be noticing, especially since Alex has Alexa waiting on him back home. Unfortunately Miles has never been very good at impulse control, Alex doesn't do anything to deter him, and their relationship quickly becomes less than platonic, leaving them to figure out what exactly they mean to each other, and what exactly will happen when it's time to leave Paris.

    Summary

    Merlin looked at the name on the plate once again. “Camelot Modelling Inc.”. It felt so awkward… When the woman, Morgana she said, had accosted him in the club the week before, Merlin had first thought it was a joke, some kind of prank orchestrated by Gwaine. His illusion has been shattered when Morgana had provided a company card. She was actually an agent, and she really wanted him as a model for some kind of ad.
