Summary
When Henry agreed to come with Alex to June and Nora’s for a party, he’d considered a million possibilities. Alex wandering off with someone and leaving Henry to fend for himself; June bringing out vodka jello shots (again) to try and get Henry to open up. Karaoke. A house full of strangers celebrating the New Year. Basically, the norm.
What he did not expect, however, was for June and Nora to decide that it was far too late, and Alex and Henry were far too drunk to go home when everyone else left at 3am.
Henry did not account for the singular guest room.

or, there was only one bed.

Summary
He dials the number and puts the phone to his ear, nibbling on his lower lip as it rings steadily.
“Alex here, how can I help?”
Henry freezes, the phone still pressed to his ear at the familiar voice.
“Uh…hello? Anyone there?”
Henry’s hands shake as he hangs up the phone, tossing it into the dirt beside his parsnip seed. All he can think of as he stares at the darkened screen a few feet away is - stupid bloody tank top.
Henry doesn't expect much when his grandmother dies; perhaps her cabin in Vail or her collection of antique teacups that he always had his eye on. Instead, he finds himself the sole owner of his late grandfather's farm, hidden away in a small town in the middle of nowhere.
Determined to make something of himself, he decides to settle down there, do up his grandfather's house and do something with his life rather than just hide away like he always has.
He will keep his head down, not make waves, and get the job done.
A very sexy handyman is determined to make this very difficult.

Summary
Henry opens his eyes, slams his thumb on the answer button and waits to hear Alex’s voice for the first time in three months, excluding the numerous interviews he’s watched of him. Only, he’s met with silence; the quiet echo of soft breathing stretching out between the ocean that separates them.
He bites his bottom lip. “Alex?”
There’s a soft inhale.
“No.”
--
or, there's been an accident.

Summary
Henry laughs, wiggling his fingers as he reaches for the bottle before taking a sip of his own, “Fine. Never have I ever…been walked in on during sex.”
Alex shakes his head with a shudder, “I’ve walked in on too many people. Door stays locked.”
“Wise man.”
Alex taps his fingers against his chin, pursing his lips. His expression falters for a moment, eyes shooting over to glance at Henry before returning to stare out the window, “Never have I ever…had sex in a treehouse.”
Neither of them drink.
“Huh.” Alex says, eyes unreadable, “Do you want to?”
Henry has made many mistakes in life - most notably allowing Pez to talk him into an ill-advised keg stand that made him vomit all over his shirt - but he can’t bring himself to regret sleeping with Alex Claremont Diaz, campus' most renowned player.
Until Alex gets it into his head that he wants seconds, and Henry isn’t strong enough to not get feelings, so he does what he does best. He pushes him away.
But Alex isn’t one to give up easily.

Summary
"Can you teach me?" His voice is smaller than he would like, timid almost but he can't help it. He remembers the stories of bandits, how they prey on weakness in an instant. Despite his grandmother's shrieked warnings blaring in his mind like alarm bells, he doesn't feel that from the man standing before him.
"Teach you what, sweetheart?" Alex drawls in that honeyed tone only used when they're alone, raising his flask to his lips and taking a long swig.
"How to fuck?"
Alex's resounding splutter echoes throughout the canyon, making an owl screech and fly away from its perch while Henry can only stare at the sharp line of his jaw.
Henry Fox has resolved himself to live a quiet life, forever firmly held under his grandmother's thumb, never able to spread his wings and flourish; and he is fine with this.
Yet, when their home is ransacked by bandits he finds himself at the forefront of the massacre, faced with whiskey-coloured eyes and a smooth timbre, warming him from the inside out when he has always felt like ice. So, of course, he does the only logical thing a human can do in this situation.
He offers himself up for ransom.

Summary
Henry
I got asked out in a coffee shop today.2E (Alex)
right. and?Henry
Asked out is a loose term. I was more accosted to see if I wanted a ‘rendezvous’ in the bathroom.2E (Alex)
oof, how did he take that rejection?Henry
Who’s to say I rejected him?2E (Alex)
…Henry
Haha, you know me too well. Not for me, I’m afraid. I need to be wined and dined.2E (Alex)
noted.Henry likes his new neighbours well enough - There’s Mrs Bennett in 6D, who always pinches his cheek when she passes him in the hall. Mr Ewing in 3B, that Henry always helps carry his groceries up the stairs as he doesn’t trust the lifts. There’s Emily from 4A, who always stops Henry in the halls to show him photos of her baby, who has recently learned how to put square shaped blocks into square shaped holes.
And then there's Alexander Claremont Diaz in 2E that he has been steadily falling in love with via text message, despite never meeting the man.
He's bloody screwed.

Summary
Keith reluctantly becomes the counselor for the Red Cabin at Camp Voltron, a summer camp in the middle of buttfuck nowhere that his older brother Shiro has worked at for years. Already unhappy with the current position that he is in, Keith prepares himself for a boring, sweaty, miserable summer; and his frustration only grows when he meets the counselor for the Blue Cabin- an insufferable asshole with a horrible sense of humor, a devilish smirk, an inexplicable animosity towards the Red Cabin, and a smile that literally looks like the sun.
Needless to say Keith is really, really unprepared for the next three months.

Lance, a wealthy socialite from a talented family, becomes a vigilante thief to restore his family's disgraced name.

Summary
Lance is a receptionist at his local police station, just trying to get through the summer and figure out his life post-college. It's a little hard though, when he has to deal with the admittedly handsome delinquent that keeps getting arrested all the time. Even harder when it turns out the guy needs a place to live for a little bit. Or maybe, actually, it's just the thing he needed.

Summary
“Dr’m,” George whimpers, burying his face further into the pillows, and hugging them close to his chest.
He hears the rustle of fabric, of his friend getting out of bed. “George?” He asks, his tone ten times more urgent than before. “What do you need?”
“‘M sick,” he mumbles, not even making an attempt to keep his eyes open anymore. “R’lly sick. Help me.”

Summary
Dream's never been a fan of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal. In fact, he hates anything even mildly scary or adrenaline-inducing. But when George asks to go there for his birthday weekend, Dream can't say no. Except when the handsome brunet asks him to go into a haunted house with him. That's where he draws the line. But a simple touch - as simple as George holding Dream's hand - is enough to give him the courage to face his fears. And when the lights and jump scares of the amusement park are behind them, Dream finds himself thinking that maybe holding George's hand might give him the courage to do a little bit more.

Summary
“I love you,” Dream whispers. “You know that?”
George nods. His throat feels constricted. Dream’s arms are warm around him, keeping him steady; not letting him fall.
He thinks of the hard kitchen tile, and sharp edges out of the counters around them. He thinks of going crashing into them, concussing himself or blacking out against the cold floor. But Dream said he won’t let that happen, and George thinks that he doesn’t know how not to trust him anymore.
Or, Dream and George dance in the kitchen and talk about love.

Summary
“Are you mad at me?” A normally bright voice is pressed flat and minimized so much it nearly slips through George’s fingers.
“No,” he soothes, he lies. Then the weight on his chest presses guilty fingers even more into his heart. Angry weight, hurt weight, sad weight. Dream is silent on the other end and George hunches even further into himself, pressing the phone harder against his ear, “Yes.”

"You would tell me if I made you uncomfortable, right?"
"Uhm," George nodded, closed his eyes, just focusing on Dream’s fingers drumming over his skin. "You would tell me if you were in love with me, right?"-> Covid is over. George can come to Florida in all his touch-starved glory. Turns out Dream is ready to fix that.

Summary
This is what they do. They speak in jokes and memes and let their true thoughts bleed through into the cracks that only they can read. Like sand in dusty corners, hidden but intrusive. George knows the space between Dream's words, the things he doesn't say. He can hear the change in pitch from hours and hours of practice. He's had days of calls, nights of Dream's voice floating to him across an ocean and through a speaker until George has become fluent in a language that doesn't have a name.
When George gets to Florida, he has a hard time adjusting to all the touching.

Dream blinks down at his open palms, like he’s trying to comprehend it. He looks to George, and then back to his hands.
“It’s a ring,” he says, finally.

A proposal, of sorts.
