    Summary

    They have rules.

    1. They don't kiss
    2. They don't talk about it
    3. They aren't exclusive
    4. They don't get attached
    5. It's over when the tour is

    As long as they abide by the rules, no one gets hurt. Simple, right?

    Summary

    He thinks, sometimes, in the afterglow of sex and high hormones, that he wouldn't mind dating Phil. Anyone would be lucky to date him – he knows that for a fact. Phil would be the most caring and attentive partner in the world. He'd make you soup when you were sick even though he hates soup. He'd buy you chocolates just because he felt you were a bit sad, even though you're a bit sad a lot. And he'd take whatever you had to give, and he wouldn't ask for any more than you offered even though he deserved the sun, the moon, and all of the universe's creations.

    So that's why he also knows he can't date Phil. And that, really, he should start putting some distance between them. Phil would see soon that Dan's bad days outnumber his good, and although he has so far managed to keep Phil sheltered away from the worst of it, nobody could love him at his most self-destructive. He'll lose it eventually, and he'll shout and he'll swear and he'll push, and Phil doesn't deserve any of that.

    So, yes, Dan should start putting some distance between them.

    -

    All the ways Dan and Phil have defined their relationship over the years in an attempt to avoid the word 'boyfriends'.

    Summary

    Alex is lost. The next logical step would be to try to track him down, like, in person. But he’s not going to do that. That’s insane behavior. Those are the actions of someone who doesn’t know how to take a hint, even though Alex can’t scrub the words you’re incredible from his mind. He’s folded and refolded the note a hundred times in an effort to forget.

    James wouldn’t write that if he didn’t mean it. Right?

    But Alex is not, he is not, going to prowl around the city with irrational optimism that James will also be out on the same street.

    He's not that desperate.

    Or: Alex's one unforgettable night with a mystery guy named James turns into a search across New York City to find him again. He's just missing a key few details along the way.

    Summary

    "Have you ever asked Henry what your grandmother said to him during those meetings?”

    It hits him like a ton of bricks, and then it hits him like a bullet train. Over and over again, he feels as if he’s been punched in the gut with the realization that no, he hasn’t asked.

    Desmond nods again, and shuts his notepad, and slips it into his bag. “Maybe you should.”

    Philip nods absentmindedly as someone escorts Desmond out of the palace.

    Maybe he should.

    Philip finally goes to therapy

    “You could have at least told me I’d fall in love with him.”

    Alex sighs, pushing off the doorframe and moving to sit next to his younger self, leaning back against the bottom bunk with his legs stretched out in front of him.

    “I’m not sure I could have,” he says softly. “You might not have made it here if I had.”

    Summary

    All his life, Alex hated when people used his full name. It meant he was in trouble. It meant he had done something wrong, or that someone was mad at him. It meant they were serious, and sometimes, it meant they were leaving.

    And then, he met Henry. And his full name was reclaimed by someone who hadn’t ever intended to own it. It was spoken once out of the right mouth, and Alex had decided that no other mouth was to say it again. His name had been spoken– had been spoken for– and he no longer despised the sound of it.

    Summary

    Henry shoots Pez a flat look, then crumples back to the floor beside him. “Pez, I can’t actually go!”

    “Can’t go to a party that you’ve been specially invited to by the boy you have a Texas-sized crush on?” Pez asks. “Whyever not?”

    OR

    Missing moment: Henry receives an invite to the 2019-2020 Young America New Years Eve Gala. In typical Henry fashion, he promptly has a minor mental breakdown. Cue Pez to provide some much-needed ribbing support.

    Summary

    He goes to the gym.

    Those words have been pinballing around David’s brain for the better part of the last few days. And nights. And sure, yes. It’s obvious that Ted does, in fact, go to the gym. Because a physique like that doesn’t just happen by accident. A significant amount of work and sweat goes into a body like that, and David just isn’t the kind of person who is ready to make that kind of commitment to anything other than the store, his beauty regimen, and Patrick.

    Or:

    Set between Housewarming and Rock On, David is feeling more than a little self conscious about his body.

    “You’re not the only one who thinks about the future, love. Texas. Somewhere else first, perhaps, but—you’d look good back home in Austin. Chasing curly-headed toddlers around a large, obnoxiously extravagant ranch house.”

    As he speaks, he watches Alex’s lips part little by little, his big, beautiful brown eyes growing glassier once again.

    “With a ring on your finger, of course.”

    Summary

    "Henry! Henry Fox! Over here!" a photographer yelled, jostling into position for the perfect shot.

    "One more, Mr. Fox! Just turn this way!"

    The handsome blonde turned toward the voice, all teeth and practiced charm. He tilted his head, just so, like he’d done it a thousand times—and probably had—and said smoothly, into the clamor, "It’s Mr. Fox-Claremont-Diaz, actually. I am a married man, you know. Have been for eight years now."

    The cameras stuttered. A few jaws dropped audibly.

    Then, from somewhere just beyond the main lineup, another voice rang out, loud and unmistakable: “You tell 'em, baby!”

    “He loves me,” is the first thing Henry says after Arthur asks what’s got him so torn up.

    “Okay,” Arthur says, as if it was a given. Mostly because it was.

    Henry turns his head to the side, a confused expression on his face. “Okay?”

    “Oh,” Arthur stares back, just as confused. “Did we not know this?”

    “We?” Henry asks, bewildered.

    “I guess not, then.”

    Summary

    There are many analogies Henry’s used for pain at various stages over the last handful of years.

    Today, it feels like a sonata played with shaking fingers, with notes that Henry knows are slightly off but can’t manage to tune just right. It swells—in his knees and wrists and shoulders—and then retreats, leaving him little time in between to catch his breath, much less attempt all that's on his perpetual to-do list. Sometimes nothing more than the ghost of a melody stuck somewhere in the back of his mind, and other times like a cacophony that he can’t seem to turn off.

    Never completely gone. Similar to his thoughts of Alex.

    Alex is watching a movie when it hits him. Like a fucking freight train. When he sees flashes of toned abs and strong muscular hands on the screen, he turns to Nora and says, “I think I'm bi.”

    Alex and Nora are in a committed relationship when Alex realises he's bi. But that's ok, nothing between them has to change. He's not going to let it.

    Until he meets Nora's new colleague.

    Summary

    Henry pulls up his shoulders.“My béchamel sauce was burning. I was stirring. You know I lose all critical thinking when I multitask…”

    Their eyes meet and a silent moment passes. Henry can spot the exact beat when fondness wins over the warring emotions showing on Alex’s face and his lips tug upwards, softening his features despite the roll of his eyes. He turns off the tap and reaches for a clean towel to carefully dry Henry’s arm, then presses a soft kiss to the unmarked skin of his inner wrist before pulling him in to do the same to his lips.

    “You’re lucky you’re cute,” he murmurs into the kiss.

    The distinct wave of warmth that Henry has become so acquainted with by now, spreads between his ribs. He smiles. “Lucky indeed.”
