Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU. Completely written, updating Tuesdays and Fridays.)

Summary
“Here’s what we’re gonna do,” he tells Martha in their next meeting, which takes place two hours outside of London at her parents’ ‘cottage’. To think they talk of her family as commoners when they have this much money is fucking insane. It just goes to illustrate how out of touch the whole monarchy machine is.
“Tea?” she offers, and he nods just to be polite. A literal, honest to god butler comes over to pour for him. “Carry on.”
“You’re gonna disappear,” he tells her, and her whole face lights up. Her shoulders relax. She looks straight at him. He can hear the kids playing with their grandmother in the next room.
“Tell me more.”
Or, Alex is Martha's divorce attorney

Summary
Josh raises an eyebrow. "1.0? Are you an iPhone now?"
"I forgot you don't know about all that." Buck smiles. "It was a way to distinguish between growth. That first Buck got people in the academy to like him by being that kinda guy. That's where I got the name, because there were three Evans."
"Oh," Josh replies, with the air of a man solving a mystery that's never occurred to him until right now. Then his eyes turn sympathetic. "That Buck didn't tell anyone there about that part of you, did he?"
Buck shrugs. "I was sleeping around a lot, it just didn't - like, I tried to be a Navy SEAL at one point, and the academy guys were way less like, scary macho straight energy than those guys but,
they were still like that a bit, like I'd tell them about girls but they'd make those kind of, you're so gay for this jokes with each other, and like, I get that they were joking, I just knew, it'd be weird to tell them about the guys. It was just, I don't know easier, to be that guy, you know?"*
buck starts hanging out with and then dating josh. eddie's totally fine with it. totally. (and maddie's none too thrilled either...)

Summary
“Henry.” Pez comes over, puts both hands on Henry’s cheeks and looks him dead in the eye. “You are not a sad man who’s gotten dumped. You’re in the prime of your life, and I quite desperately need you to act like it.”
“The prime of my life,” Henry scoffs, more incredulous than questioning. “I’ve just gotten out of a 15 year relationship, endured a divorce, am suffering an almost impressive case of writer’s block, and your hands are like bloody icicles.” Pez grins, doesn’t take his hands away. “Explain to me how this is my prime. Please.”
Pez tilts his head, and sounds entirely serious when he says, “Literally anything can happen from here.”

Summary
“Oh,” Alex says. “Sick.”
Henry can’t help but grin. He can’t believe he’s so bloody gone on a man who says sick and dude, who he’s slept with all of one time and proceeded to knock him up. Henry’s a cliche, honestly.
“It is, indeed, sick, as you say.”
Alex rolls his eyes, but his cheeks darken a shade, giving him away a bit. “Listen, the closest I get to poetry is your fucking face. Excuse me if my vocabulary doesn’t quite compare to yours.”
Or, Alex and Henry have a one night stand. That is, until a baby’s involved.
Now Complete :)
