Summary
Michael needs to get to Roswell. After he grew up in the foster system, with no family to tie him to New Mexico, he left it behind without a second thought. But when he comes across a piece of mysterious multi-colored glass, he has to trace it back to Roswell’s UFO Emporium, no matter what it takes.
The concept is simple. The contract is not. After Alex's injury in Iraq, his father forces him to return to Roswell to recover with the assistance of a Companion. And unless Alex selects a Companion of his own, Jesse will do it for him.
This story is complete and will update Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Summary
“I love you,” Alex says, because it feels like the thing to say. Because it’s true. Because it’s their wedding night. Their wedding night. Holy fuck.
“I’m so happy I don’t know what to do with myself,” Michael says, almost exasperated, like he’s legitimately at a loss.
“I’ve got some ideas, if you’re taking suggestions.”

Summary
You have to understand how bad it was, the wanting him. There’s some version of this story where I lie to you and say when Alex wasn’t in front of me, I wasn’t thinking about him. That he didn’t fill every second of my days and nights, that I wasn’t walking wounded through the hours of my life waiting for the next time I’d see him and the world would start making sense again. But I can’t lie. It was really bad.
If you were to put it on a scale, the low end being indifference and the high end being some Shakespearean goddamn tragedy, the way I felt about Alex Manes was somewhere off the edge of the chart, off the page, in the stratosphere. I think people associate romance, loving someone, with positive emotional experiences. Being in love can hurt sometimes, but it’s also supposed to be worth it, right?
What I’m trying to express here is that for a long time, it wasn’t worth it.

Summary
“What do you mean you’re married?!” Michael stammered. He stood up and grabbed Isobel’s hand.
Isobel rolled her eyes like she absolutely could not be bothered.
“Hardy har,” she said, jerking her hand away. “Must’ve been some night you had there, Michael Manes.”
Michael took a step back as his eyes caught glimpses of a room he was positive he had never been in before. He looked at the couch he woke up on and back at his sister’s nonchalant face.
“What did you just call me?”
---
Michael wakes up to an alternate version of the Roswell he knows. One where Rosa never died, Isobel is still married, and Alex Manes never joined the Air Force. Logic and reason compel Michael to try and figure out how to get back to the Roswell he knows, but the more time he spends in this new reality, the more complicated that becomes.

Summary
There's a something inside Michael, an unearthly desperation that all three of them possess, that calls out to be satisfied. As far as he's seen, it's something he can only get by giving in and handing his will over to someone else. Humans have correlaries in their BDSM games but humans don't need it the way they do, to be stay sane, to be whole. It's another alien thing that keeps Michael from feeling at home in this world.
And then he meets Alex.
[The BDSM AU no one asked for where the all the 47 Crash aliens are have biologically determined D/s dynamic while humans are just human. ]

Summary
Isobel Evans and Rosa Ortecho's wedding is going to be an affair to remember. That is, if Alex Manes doesn't ruin it first.
This wasn't his idea. Honestly, he'd rather spend the wedding getting drunk, bribing the DJ to play songs that would drive the brides crazy, and keeping well away from his first, unrequited love. But when one of your best friends asks you to be their worst man, you take that job seriously.
Even if that means ending up a hell of a lot closer to Michael Guerin than he bargained for.
