Summary
Henry is a cemetery caretaker in a little town who spends his days listening to the stories of mourners and chatting with the cemetery staff. His job is to open and close the gates, and tend to the needs of everyone that comes by, having just lost a loved one – this usually means a listening ear and a pot of Earl Grey. In the night, he's working on his book of poems, something he's been trying to finish for three years. He sees inspiration in everything, and is very content with his life.
Alex is the son of recently deceased Ellen Claremont, stumbling into the cemetery every given chance, usually driving away from responsibilities. He doesn't want to face the loss – but he's ought to.
When their paths collide, they must navigate through harsh truths they see in each other's lives no one had dared to tell them before. Is this a love story, or they are destined to stir up things in one another they can't seem to get settled?
From heartfelt to witty, from crying to flirting – what does the future hold for these two? -

Summary
Believing in the power of a Tarot deck is as far from Alex Claremont-Diaz as it could be. Yet, he finds himself in an old secondhand bookshop looking for his sister’s friend: according to June, she can tell the future. Though fate definitely doesn’t exist, at the register there sits a beautiful but arrogant asshole, Henry, who turns out to be everything Alex doesn’t expect. As the two become unintended – or intended? – study mates, Alex begins to wonder if the lingering gazes and hesitant touches have a deeper meaning than he first thinks so.
Meant to be. Written in the stars. Bound to happen.
Is it really, or is it just another spiritual humbug Alex would be a fool to believe? -

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
30 Mar 2026
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Summary
Christmas is his favorite time of the year but Alec has barely had time to buy presents let alone enjoy the holiday season. December seems to have lasted the blink of an eye and Alec's shoulders hunch as he realizes morosely that most of this year is a blur of emergencies and rounds and consultations.
His gaze snags on a bakery display as he walks past. The window is dressed with multicolored lights and garland wrapping around the edges. The display case is full and Alec’s mouth waters just at the sight.
Without conscious thought, Alec is reaching for the door to Bane's Bakery, eager to see if the interior is just as whimsical and welcoming as the outside.

Summary
Logically, Alec knew that he couldn't spend his whole life avoiding Magnus Bane. After the break-up, after being apart for so long, maybe it was time they spoke to each other again...
"You look... happier."
"Do I?"
