Summary
“Alex Manes,” he says, the syllables of it dripping with so much acid it makes Alex want to change his entire name.
“Michael,” Alex says in return. He’s pretty sure this isn’t the right way to address someone who’s in his professional charge, but at the end of the day, they went to school together. He’s known Michael since they were fourteen years old.
There’s a brief look of surprise on Michael’s face at the sound of his own name, but then his expression breaks into a mirthless smirk.
“You’d think Deep Sky would do background checks on their employees, huh? A Manes man, getting all up in alien business? We all know how well that’s turned out in the last century or so.”
—
At the beginning of senior year, Michael Guerin gets captured and thrown into Caulfield. At the end of it, Jesse Manes lets his youngest son in on the family secret.
Fifteen years later, Alex Manes is working for Deep Sky when he’s assigned to protect one of its assets as he works on something with unknown consequences.
Neither of them is happy about it.

Summary
When private investigator Alex Manes returns to Roswell to find the missing Evans twins, the case drags the town’s murkiest secrets out of the shadows: a sinister government conspiracy, the existence of aliens, and the murder of his childhood friend Rosa Ortecho. The more Alex digs, the less sense any of it makes. All he knows for certain is that he definitely shouldn’t be sleeping with Michael Guerin, the town drunk and petty criminal who also happens to be the lead suspect in his investigation.

Summary
A Firefly AU.
Captain Alex Manes loves his ship and he loves his crew. Above all, he loves his freedom. But, like anything in life, it comes at a price.
Flying under the radar, taking some admittedly questionable jobs here and there, has kept them afloat so far, but his skies are getting crowded, and smuggling goods is risky as ever.
Taking on passengers is a sure way to get some money, even if Alex isn’t thrilled at the thought of inviting strangers aboard his ship. Especially, when one of the strangers keeps catching his eye.Michael Guerin has had many jobs; handy man, mechanic, horse wrangler. Living on a border planet, he can’t afford to be picky. Besides, he doesn’t really mind as long as it pays the bills and, more importantly, his mission to find his sister.
When Michael finds out where they’re holding Isobel, he needs a way to get closer--He needs to find himself a ship.- Language:

Summary
“This is Joe, transmitting from Orbiter 3. It’s” – he checks the computer’s clock – “day 11,689 of the experiment. Uh, all medical checks came back normal, plants show no abnormal growth or change, soil levels all fine. Drank about three bottles of water. No technical faults to report.” There’s never much to say during these reports, but they’re the closest thing he gets to talking to someone else. “Earth looks particularly beautiful today. And I’m running out of paper.”
-
Joe has spent his entire life on a small ship orbiting Earth, as part of an experiment on the viability of long-term human space travel. His routine has been the exact same for thirty-three years: at forty, he will be allowed to return to Earth. But when things begin to go wrong, and an engineer - the first person he has spoken to since he was sent into orbit - is sent to carry out maintenance on the ship, Joe begins to realise that the experiment, and his entire life, is not what he thought it was.Bookmarked by rosierocks247

Summary
There's a man standing in front of his table, a sheepish cant to his shoulders. His lovely, blonde-brown hair looks in need of a haircut since it's growing out somewhat unevenly, presently just long enough to hang partially in his eyes. His eyes are the most intriguing shade between clear blue and crisp green. He has a beauty mark near his mouth, a definitely Roman-looking nose, and enough scruff on his chin that Joe's not sure if he's trying to grow out his beard or just hasn't bothered to shave.
He's fucking gorgeous, is what Joe is trying to say.
(The past year hasn't been kind to Joe or Nicky. But a chance meeting at a local market sets them both on a path they weren't expecting. A path filled with love, magic and maybe, just maybe, some peace.)

Summary
The beautiful man drops his hands from Joe’s face instantly, and his skin feels colder without his touch.
“I’m Nicky,” Nicky says woodenly. “I’m...I’m your familiar.”
“I have a familiar?”
(The last thing Joe remembers is getting drunk with his best friend Booker in a bar after a fight with his terrible boyfriend, Keane. But he wakes up in a hospital, with a gorgeous man at his bedside, telling him impossible things. Things like how he's Joe's familiar. Things like how they're married.)

Summary
The first time Alex forgot about their very first in public date, his brain was being melted by the Lockhart machine, so Michael didn’t think much of it. Then the second time it happened, when Alex claimed he wasn’t feeling well, Michael took it at face value. But now that it was happening for a third time…
Michael looked down at his grease-blackened hands, at the frayed cuffs on his stained shirt, at the holes in his jeans, and he started to wonder if maybe there was a different reason that Alex had always wanted to keep their relationship a secret. If he was ashamed to be seen in public with Michael.
