    Summary

    It hits her then, how well Ilya must know her son. That he gets Shane and supports him. It can’t have been an easy thing, walking into what could have been the lion’s den after getting caught by his boyfriend’s father. He did it anyway – for Shane. His love for Shane is written all over his face.

    Since their rookie year.

    Shane has had this, Ilya – though she tries not to think too hard about the details – for nine years!

    She and David have been so worried that Shane might be lonely. He’s always found it difficult to connect with people, didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid.

    He’s not lonely though; he has Ilya. For that, she thinks she might love Ilya, just a little.

    Or

    5 times Yuna loves Ilya, and one time she tells Shane why

    Or

    an ode to love, and Yuna Hollander

    Summary

    holometaboly: a complete metamorphosis

     

    Alex loves his life. He lives in an incredible place. His career is on fire. He’s newly engaged to a man who is both so attractive and so genuinely kind that sometimes he has to wonder if he’s not a figment of his own hyperactive imagination.

    It’s just nothing like the life that he once envisioned for himself. He always thought that he was okay with that. People get older: they wise up, they change. The Alex of today is not Alex Claremont-Diaz at twenty-two, and that’s fine, even if they’d probably resent one another if they found themselves in the same room.

    A surprise encounter with ghosts from the past forces him to face the fact that maybe it’s a little bit more complex than that.

    Or: Alex and Henry vs. old friends, old hookups, and old regrets.

    Summary

    Alex has conquered many things in his life: a childhood split down the middle between Texas and California; nascent queerness in the red state, a thick drawl in the blue one; Georgetown admissions; Yale; the Bar; four whole months in Big Law and the realization that it would kill him by twenty-seven; a massive career change at twenty-eight; marriage; kids.

    He’s never been one to back down from a challenge. It’s not like he’s going to start now. The only problem is that he may have finally met his match in the Milton-Saylor Academy Mom Squad.

    Or: Alex is going to win over the moms at his son’s bougie private school if it’s the last goddamned thing he does.

    Or: 5+1 notable years in Arthur Claremont Fox-Diaz’s life.

    (A standalone sequel to "It's Not a Secret")
