Summary
He glances down to the word ‘LOVE’ at the bottom. It’s too loud, too harshly written. Alex doesn’t feel harsh or loud. He feels a lot, so much it’s overwhelming sometimes, but the edges are soft, not hard. There’s a glow around it, something hazy and barely tinted gold, and Alex feels like if he could reach out and put his hands near it, they would warm up like they used to when he stood in front of the old brick fireplace back home.
He glances at ‘LOVE’ and then loops back around to ‘HENRY’.
Maybe, Alex thinks, hands shaking, they’re one in the same. Whatever the fuck that means.
--
When June gets sick, Alex knows he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the care that she needs. Even if that means convincing his nemesis/sexuality-crisis-inducing/clandestine hook-up partner/somewhat of an actual friend to pretend to be his soulmate in order to pull it off. It's both more and less complicated than it sounds.

Have I Been Good Enough (To Ask For Your Love)? by anincompletelist (soldouthaz)

Summary
The last three years have been nothing short of perfect. Alex has a dream, a plan, and the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, all finally right within his reach. Things are easy, these days. He’s trying not to get so caught up in the finer details.
Like the fact that he hasn’t met his soon-to-be fiance’s family yet. Or the fact that everyone seems to act really odd around his grandmother. Or the fact that Henry’s not actually out to his family yet, and neglects to tell him this until they’re already off the plane and nearly to their house.
But it’s only four days, so it's fine. It's all fine.
Probably.

Summary
Martin will never stop holding those emails over Simon's head. It's time for Simon to find a way out from under Martin's thumb. Problem is, Simon sucks at scheming. He assembles his friends, figuring that coming out to a few people ahead of schedule is way better than Martin outing him to the entire school. It's a good plan. It just brings him some changes he wasn't bargaining for. Big changes.
