    Summary

    “You are still you, yes?” Ilya repeated. “You are still slow hockey player with pretty freckles, yes?” It was a weak attempt at a joke, so Ilya shook it away and tried again. “You are still Shane, same person, same brain, yes?”

    Shane blinked up at him, thinking. Then, nodding slowly. “Mostly. Yeah. I don’t know about a name or anything yet, but—. Yeah. I’m still me.”

    “Then it does not matter.”

    Summary

    Strands of dark hair fell over the smooth skin of his forehead. A lazy constellation of freckles dotted his cheeks from the line of his nose to nearly his temple. Dark brown eyes glared up at him, the heat of them weaker than it could have been for the man’s circumstances. Fear lived in his gaze more than ferocity.

    Ilya didn’t think it suited him, that fear.
    _______________________

    Ilya is the second son of an aristocratic family, languishing in his own boredom. Shane is a horse-archer captured by guards during a skirmish, brought to Muscovy by force. When told to pick a prize for himself, Ilya chooses Shane -- and everything that comes afterwards.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov was not foremost in Yuna Hollander’s affections at the start. But, eventually, he has come around.

    (i.e. Yuna and Ilya take their time to warming up to one another but, as the virtue goes, patience is a virtue.)

    Summary

    “Sure,” Ilya repeated. “What do you mean, sure, Hollander?”

    Hollander hummed. “If you want me to be your physical therapist, Rozanov, I’ve got no problem with that. I’ve got openings and I’d be happy to take you on.”

    Summary

    There is a place that splits the worlds. Primordial. Innate. Organic.

    We have felt it since the dawn of time. In marrow of bones and velvet sinew. A small, bright spot in the very water of our brains.

    This place between, unseen though felt, has its own sort of gravity. It draws some to its edges, placid though tempting others do not feel the pull of its tides, governed by the modern world and not some ancient faceless moon. Some it snatches, then swallows whole.

    Summary

    In 1989, Arthur Fox set out to drive the Pan-American highway on motorcycle. With nothing but a small production crew in a pickup truck for support, he and his cameraman ran the length of South America, through Central America and Mexico, to end at San Antonio, Texas, two weeks before Christmas. The trip, Arthur would say after, changed his life.

    Thirty years later, novelist Henry Fox is asked to recreate his father’s journey to mark the anniversary. Alongside his old friend and award-winning actor, Alex Claremont-Diaz, and his father’s best friend and original cameraman, Shaan Srivastava, they attempt to ride from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles in a hundred days. It’s a test of more than body and bike. It’s a test of endurance, relationships, and nerve.

    Summary

    Henry Fox started baking on a whim — to ease his anxiety, then his grief. Not to get on Bake Off. But, when his sister and best friend submit an application on his behalf, Henry decides to turn his dread at being on camera into a way to pull his family back together. Shoved into ten Saturdays of competition, he finds perfect frosting, mild embarrassment, strange flavor combinations, and — most unexpectedly — Alex.

    Alex Claremont-Diaz did not agree to Bake Off — not willingly, anyhow. After a year of accidental missteps and a career on the fritz, he’s looking for a life preserver. Being the franchise’s newest host is his best offer in months, and Alex expects quaint English countryside, group hugs, good food, and stupid intro bits. Not Henry Fox, a sharp-witted PhD student with a quiet exterior, who makes his heart flip-flop in ways Alex is pretty sure it’s not supposed to.

    Summary

    From the credit card slots, she pulled a slim pale blue card with neat, deep green writing on it. She slid it across the table to Alex, Nora very obviously studying him as he picked it up, read it, and turned it over in his hands. It wasn’t a flashy little missive – short, straight to the point, diplomatic even.

    Summary

    Look, and see, a world that holds more
    wonder than any since Earth was born.

     

    Of all who reigned, none had renown,
    Like the boy who pulled sword from stone…
    But this is not that king.
    Nor is not his son…

     

    Let me tell you a new tale,
    laid down just as I have heard it told.
    Its words inked, its letters pressed,
    in outline of adventure brave and bold.

     

    His song — green, clever, wild, and gold.
    Forever set in blood, in stone,
    Like all great myths of old…

    Summary

    There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.

    It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.

    But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.

    Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

    Summary

    A young woman sitting in their kitchenette, a portfolio folder held protectively on her lap. She had dark hair, neatly styled in a French twist, and a visitor’s badge clipped to her blouse. Her heels had red soles, a bit worn but in good condition. When her gaze lifted, they were a striking, haunting, bright blue.

    Alex cleared his throat and approached her with squared shoulders. “Hi. Agent Claremont-Diaz. Are you looking for someone, ma’am?”

    The instinctual, reflexive ma’am earned him a crooked sort of smile. “I believe I’m looking for you, actually,” she replied in a smooth English accent; educated and precise. She rose from the plastic chair. She stuck out a hand. “Beatrice Mountchristien. I represent the Frick Gallery.”
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Alex and Henry struggle to find a new case after weeks of stagnant work when a Gallery representative, Bea Mountchristien, approaches them with a case. Is the supposed Scythian goldsmithery the genuine article, a historic forgery, or one to cover up actions more damaging. Faced with not only a case but the realities of his own relationships, will Henry be able to lean on Alex or close himself off?

    Summary

    Marco hummed low in his throat, his hand skimming Elliot's side to find his waist. There was softness there — a gentle, tantalizing give under his fingertips, just under the last littlest rib. “There. Was that so hard?”

    A blink later, fingers were tucking into Marco’s collar, tugging him close enough to smell the tobacco on Elliot. The smirk was back. “More than you know.”

    “Oh yeah?”

    “And that’s all I’m telling.”

    Summary

    When Carlos pulled his arm away, they turned their face up to his. Soft features and rose petal lips, green eyes that appeared center-less and endlessly deep in any light, a delicate fan of lashes around them. Dark hair dropped over his forehead, the rest tucked up under the hat, which he usually didn’t wear. Carlos’ shirt was draped over his arm, his father’s hat hanging from his fingertips.

    “Give it back, Carlos,” TK said, voice just audible above the din. No one paid the pair any attention. The next match was winding up with much cheering and hollering. TK squeezed Carlos’ wrist tighter. “Give. It. Back.”
    ____________________________________

    Austin, 1900 -- A year after his father's death, Carlos has found solace in something destructive. TK insists there's better peace to be found elsewhere.

    Summary

    “Sleep.” Henry huffed. “I just bloody want to sleep. I’d give my left eye to not be so goddamned exhausted—.”

    “I’ve an idea,” Pez interrupted. Henry nodded for him to go on; he was desperate enough to try even the craziest of Pez’s schemes. “You may or may not be aware of all Oxford campus services, but—.”

    “I’m going to regret this,” Henry huffed.

    Henry's insomnia takes a turn towards the horrendous. Pez decides his royal friend should consider some creative solutions. Enter Alex Claremont-Diaz, exchange student from Georgetown University, peer relaxation counselor, and the most beautiful person Henry has ever seen. The rest is inevitable, isn't it?

    It's Christmas time in the city...

     

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is about to be on more Nutcracker closer to death. Despite the innovation and interesting roles his ballet career has brought him, Balanchine's ballet remains an unchangable sticking point in the year. The arrival of a new dancer to the ABT company -- Henry Fox, formerly of the Royal Ballet -- changes the mood in the studio, and Alex becomes convinced this year could be something more. Will Henry's partnership in the studio harken the start of something new outside of it, or will everything stay on stage?

    A winter-themed ballet dancer AU, chock full of banter, dancing, cozy dates, and fresh starts.

    Summary

    Alex sat bolt upright at the voice not his own. One glance told him that he was still helplessly alone. He didn’t think he’d been gone long enough to be hallucinating. He hadn’t touched his water skin yet, but he was sure his head was on straight.

    He wrapped his arms around himself, sitting back on his heels. “Hello?”

    The water sloshed, and then—. “Bon jour. Or, bon nuit, I suppose, but are you having a good night? It doesn’t seem like it.”

    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

    The little bottle that had gotten him through the last few days, and many other nights, alone. Henry rose up onto his knees, sucking two fingers into his mouth as he easily slicked two on the other hand, then tucked it behind himself.

    By the time Alex tripped into the doorway, Henry would be ready. He would be set. He would be prepared. He would treat them both.

    The day dripped from his shoulders with every rivulet running across his skin. Henry was clean and relaxed, and now he had work to do.
