    Summary

    Ian is a new business owner who’s just opened his flower shop in a prime spot, right next to a bakery. This is the perfect opportunity for some networking, maybe even a business collaboration or partnership, right? Turns out, the frustratingly sexy bakery owner isn’t actually a stranger, but a very familiar face from Ian’s distant—and not so distant—past.

    Or

    The flower shop/bakery AU that no one asked for.

    Summary

    A prequel to Curtains!

    In his senior year of college, Mickey joins his college theater company to learn about theater production. But he keeps getting paired up to work with a redhead who just happens to be from the rough neighborhood he hasn't lived in since he was a kid. As a friendship forms and deepens, Mickey starts to wonder what he's feeling.

    When Ian finds himself forming a friendship with a grumpy upperclassman, he struggles with his own set of conflicting emotions. He doesn't even know if Mickey is into guys, but it shouldn't matter. He needs to keep up his grades if he wants to keep his scholarship. He doesn't have room in his life for guys these days. Right?

    Summary

    It happened right around 8:45, tucked into the thin fold of space between his barely eaten bowl of soup being cleared from the table and his wine glass being dutifully refilled for the fifth or sixth time. The main course was minutes away. The sky outside was a pretty violet color, dark enough at the edges that it was hard to tell where exactly the sea pressed up to meet it. Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia, newly 22 years old, took a measured breath, looked around the opulent dining room filled to the brim with laughing, unbothered nobility, and realized with absolute clarity that he was going to have to kill himself.

    -

    Stolas is a miserable passenger on a luxury cruise in Envy, traveling with his fiancée and her brother in the days before his very much arranged wedding. Meanwhile, Blitzø is a stowaway on that very same cruise, in pursuit of a target that will help him keep his floundering assassination business (and two newlywed employees) afloat a little longer. When their paths (literally) collide, all bets are off and things sure do happen, both in a hot-and-heavy way and a oh-shit-this-boat-is-DEFINITELY-gonna-sink way.

    (Yes, this is a loose Titanic (1997) AU.)
