    Summary

    AKA ouroBROros, as dubbed by the Brownstone. The long awaited foursome fic.

    +++

    It’s late when they end up out in the yard, the fire from the firepit casting all of them in golden syrupy light under a dark sky. It feels like a night for secrets and Liam thinks it’s why he asks, Spencer’s hand a gentle pressure on his thigh.

    Summary

    Locked out?

    “I forgot my keys,” Alex says with a sigh, leaning against his door with a muted shiver. He was planning on a heated Uber ride to June’s apartment, not standing out in the cold ass hallway. Alex hugs his coat closer to his chest. “My friend has my spare.”

    Henry nods, leaning against his own door frame. Alex isn’t sure what the man does outside of going to grad school at NYU, but it must be bench-pressing horses based on the size of his biceps. Henry reaches up to push his glasses higher on his nose and Alex swears he wasn’t that bisexual when the day started. “Would you like to wait in my apartment for your friend?”

    --

    Alex gets locked out his apartment on Christmas Eve. He's forced to take refuge in his neighbor and occasional fuck buddy Henry's apartment, and together the two get into the Christmas spirit with the help of a festive costume and a silk ribbon.

    Summary

    Alex is a former child star struggling to make the transition into being seen as a serious actor. He jumps at an opportunity to perform on stage in the UK, seeing it as a way to break free from the typecasting and show what he can really do. But he wasn’t prepared to star alongside someone he hates.
    //
    Henry is a recent theatre graduate who accepts an amazing role in a queer reimagining of Much Ado About Nothing. And then it turns out his co-star is none other than the man he’s been hopelessly pining after for years—even though Henry made a terrible first impression when they met.
    //
    It’s… well, it’s practically Shakespearean.

    Summary

    The guy currently approaching the counter is an absolute smoke show. The turquoise of his hair would be bright enough on anybody, but contrasted against the man’s dark skin, it’s practically neon. He has rich, sparkling eyes and a mischievous grin, and he’s clutching something weirdly lumpy and hastily wrapped in brown paper in his well-manicured hands. Liam thinks he should have more questions about the parcel—and he probably will in a minute, given that it’s his literal job to ask them—but right now, he’s pretty focused on remembering how his knees are supposed to work.

    Or, five times Pez brings in something ridiculous to post to his friend in the States, and one time Liam has to put his foot down.

    Summary

    When Alex lets his hair get long, it grows out as much as it grows down, his curls going wild and untameable. But Henry’s hair falls in waves, the ends curling a little where they brush against his shoulders.

    Every version of Henry that Alex has ever known has been utterly, breathtakingly beautiful. But this one, relaxed and confident and happy, is one Alex has a particular soft spot for.

    Henry's hair is long, and Alex feels extremely normal about it. Honest.

    Summary

    “It seems I’ve inherited a diner.”

    “Yes, I knew that.”

    “That’s been closed and left to rot for years.”

    “I knew that as well.”

    “I’ve decided to keep the place. Renovate it, get it running, see where it goes.”

    “That is certainly a decision.”

    “It gets worse. It seems I’m going into business with Alex Claremont-Diaz.”

    Pez is silent for a long moment. “The Alex Claremont-Diaz? The one that has been featured in Food & Wine four times. The one that Carme Ruscalleda and Enrique Olvera have called the next big thing? Your uni sweetheart? The love of your life? The man whose heart you shattered into a million pieces? That Alex Claremont-Diaz?”

    “Do you know of another?”

    Summary

    August 1816: Summer has all but vanished for the Northern Hemisphere. Clouds and fog block out the sun in Massachusetts. Ice dams rivers in Switzerland. Snow falls as often as rain.

    On the shores of Lake Windermere, Henry Fox is holed up trying to scrape together his somewhat-respectable writing career. Attempting to escape the fear of failure, he attends a party at the Holleran home where he meets a young man who speaks no English, rumored to be the illegitimate son of a Spanish priest and an Aztec princess. He's beautiful and fascinating to all the guests, including Henry.

    But, when the party is disrupted by a snow storm over the lake, leaving Henry and a few more guests stranded, Michael Holleran proposes entertainment -- write something, anything, to perform for everyone. Struggling to write and distracted by the newcomer, Henry finds himself falling deeper, and discovers that not everyone is who they seem.

    Summary

    “Listen, I was hoping maybe I could get your business card. Do you think your kids would be interested in sitting in on a rehearsal or maybe a private dance class?”

    “Oh,” Henry says. “That’s incredibly kind of you. They would love that. We should have grants for things like this‒”

    “Your money's no good here. I mean, pay your bus drivers but I won’t accept a cent from you,” Alex smiles.

    “It’s more paying your company,” Henry teases. “Will your bosses be okay with that?”

    “I can be very persuasive,” Alex whispers and it leaves goosebumps over Henry’s skin.

    Trying to regain his footing, Henry says, “Uh, my email and office number are on there. You can contact either one and we can set something up.”

    “And what if I wanted to set up something after office hours?” Alex asks with a glint in his eyes.

    or: ballet dancer! alex has taken an interest in henry after a shelter field trip to Ballet Austin and henry wants to believe it's not too good to be true.

    Summary

    The smell of boot polish is still lingering in the air from his earlier ministrations, and Shaan can practically see his own reflection in the leather that encases Zahra from her toes all the way up to mid-thigh. He slides a hand up the back of her calf as he looks up at her: dark hair tumbling loose over her shoulders, corset so tight-laced that despite the fact that it covers more of her body than most swimsuits it still thrusts her breasts up into something utterly, breathtakingly obscene.

    Or: Zahra finds out Shaan knew about Alex and Henry all along. Shaan has some grovelling to do.

    Summary

    It is, unmistakably, Henry’s husband. Just as unmistakably, this is an Alex from when Henry first knew him, with none of the signs of age and comfort his Alex now carries with pride. If Henry had to guess, he’d put the Alex hovering in the doorway at nineteen, maybe twenty. Briefly, hysterically, he remembers standing outside earlier tonight and staring up at the stars; did he bloody manifest this?

    Or: a college-aged version of Alex appears in Henry and Alex's bathroom in 2036.

    Summary

    Alex hasn’t noticed before. Not in all the months he’s been coming here, ever since it opened: flirting with the outrageously hot bartender who doesn’t offer a menu and instead sits down and introduces himself to his customers, talks to them about what they like to drink, and then pulls something together based on their specific tastes. Not tonight, when he came without June or Nora, never straying from his barstool, letting Henry mix him a few drinks over the course of the evening, all of them different and all of them, inevitably, perfect. Not when he was teasingly comparing the high-brow cocktails to college body shots and claiming that there wasn’t any difference, just to see the flash in Henry’s eyes as he’d argued. Not after last call, when he’d stayed where he was as the speakeasy emptied around them, fingers circling the rim of his long-empty glass, and Henry had let him.

    Or, Henry is a speakeasy bartender, and Alex is the surface for body shots. Then they fuck about it. That's the fic.

    Summary

    “When’s the last time a guy made you cum?”

    “Christ, Alex.”

    “No, I'm for real. When was it?”

    Henry groans again, his hand covering his face that is steadily turning pink. “God, I don’t know, maybe a few months ago?”

    “Hen, you bring so many people home.”

    “Way to slut shame me.”

    “No, no, sweetheart, it’s impressive, honestly.” They pause, sitting in comfortable silence. Alex looks like he’s pondering and Henry doesn’t let himself think about what it might mean, instead bringing his glass to his mouth. “Let me make you cum.”

    OR

    After a series of bad dates, Alex volunteers to help Henry out a little. It benefits them both, after all .

    Summary

    Henry had always been weak for a nice smile, but his was impossible to ignore.

    Blame it on summer heat and a fresh flush in his cheeks. Blame it on sunset painting the outdoor bar sweltering, romantic colors. Blame it on two healthy glasses of albariño thrumming in his bloodstream, or the good music floating on the air.

    Henry could blame it on anything liked if he thought long and hard about it, but that didn’t change much at the end. The core remained the same: he had been gone from the jump.

    Summary

    Henry who looked just about as boring and predictable as anyone could be. A grade-A, goody-two-shoes square with a hint of brown-noser to boot. He take up with a paper shaker by Easter, be going steady by prom. He’d get straight As, be a teachers’ pet, and graduate valedictorian before going all Ivy Leaguer.

    Henry had them all fooled, but not Alex.

    Alex could see the thin veneer flipping up like cheap linoleum bubbling in the summer heat.
