Summary
"Listen, Mr. Rozanov." The general manager is talking out of the side of his mouth, his cigarette dropping ashes all over the hotel table. "We like you. We want you. We understand you are putting yourself under a fair amount of risk here, meeting with us like this. I hope it's obvious that if you play for us, we will set you up for a good life in Canada."
He pauses, looks Ilya in the eye. "But you have to understand, if you agree to this, you have to be prepared to leave with us right now."

"So… did it work?"
Viktor’s head snaps up, brow twisted in confusion. "What?"
"Did it help? With the pain."
Viktor's eyes narrow. "I can't say. The trial was… interrupted."
Jayce takes a deep breath, dredging up his courage for… whatever he’s about to say, he barely knows before he hears the words trip off his own tongue:
"Can I help?"

Summary
If you could have anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?
Alexander Claremont-Diaz has clawed his way into Hollywood despite all the hurdles in his way, and now he's starring in his dream movie—a queer romcom adapted from one of his favorite books, Roses, Wisteria, and Royal Bluebells. However, he barely has the chance to be excited before he finds out who his costar is. The privileged, white, bigoted Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.
The last thing Alex wants is to be associated with Henry more than he already has to, but a fateful interview and a few choice words against Henry turns him into enemy number one in Hollywood. To fix it, he has to pretend to be Henry's best friend and show the entire world his comments were nothing but friendly banter. However, as he gets inevitably tangled up in Henry's life, he realizes not everything is as it seems, and Henry might be hiding his own demons that might change everything.

Summary
“Gran sat me down the day I finished my A levels and made it abundantly clear I was not to let anyone know about any deviant desires I might be beginning to harbor that might reflect poorly upon the crown, and there were appropriate channels to maintain appearances if necessary.”
Shaan approaches Henry with a deal from the Queen: agree to an arranged marriage with a woman to flaunt in public, and he can enjoy the services of a male escort in private. Alex comes storming into Henry’s life with sparkling brown eyes, a mischievous smirk, and a challenge, and Henry struggles to maintain control of his emotions as boundaries begin to blur.
Alex doesn’t actually care about him; it’s just a job. Right?

Summary
“Your Royal Highness.” Alex bows at the neck, not far enough to hide the dimple that pops out when he grins. His tongue rolls whiskey-warm around his accent; there’s more than a hint of the American South in it, and Henry has the distinct impression Alex is actively working to smooth it out. Then he looks up, his smile widening into something altogether more devastating, and god, Henry isn’t sure he can deal with this right now—
“I’ve really been looking forward to meeting you.”
And that is, officially, more than Henry can cope with. He opens his mouth, fully intent on begging Shaan to get him out of here, now, except… that’s not what comes out.
Or, Henry has an unfortunately physical reaction the first time he meets Alex... and it's not the one you're thinking of.

Summary
Bookstore AU. At Survey Books, 27 year old Marco Bodt is lucky enough to be friends with everyone he works with, until grade-A jerk Jean Kirchstein transfers from another store, and in spite of his bad attitude, Marco can’t seem to help but fall for him. Too bad Jean is oblivious and/or just plain stubborn, and everyone else thinks this is Marco’s worst idea ever. But in retail, you end up spending a lot of time with your coworkers regardless of what you want, and Marco will do his best to make every interaction with Jean count until they get somewhere. Or at least until Jean gets less awful.

Summary
"Promise me one thing?" Henry broke the silence with a trembling voice, dancing around the knot in his throat.
"Anything," Alex replied in the same whispering tone, his words traveling to Henry's lips with the softness of a breeze.
"Promise you won't forget me?" Henry's plea came inflamed with vulnerability, insecurity, and fear playing in every fiber of his being.
"Not even if I tried," Alex assured, bringing his lips close for a kiss without contact, a seal of sincerity that transcended letters and words.
Henry wasn't finished. He held Alex's gaze with an intensity that defied the barriers between them.
"Promise we will be the Florentino and Fermina of our time? That no matter how much time passes, you will still love me?"

Henry is the future king of England, and he has to fiercely fight monarchy to live an unexpected, but devastating love story.

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is a star on the rise.
A wildcard up-and-coming new actor who finds himself thrust into the Hollywood limelight when he’s nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his small-budget indie movie. It’s his more than he could have imagined in his wildest dreams. That is, until he discovers that also in his category is his mortal enemy: Henry Fox – generically attractive, completely boring and part of an acting dynasty that stretches back generations. In short, everything Alex hates about Hollywood.
So when a comment Alex makes about Henry in an interview goes viral, and the two find themselves thrust together through awards season, Alex can’t help but think his dream has become his worst nightmare.
Except, maybe – just maybe – Henry isn’t quite what he seems.
(This fic is completely written. Updates Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday!)

“You’re a law student?”
“Yeah. What about it?”

“Interesting,” Henry says dryly. “I’d think you’d feel right at home.”
-or-
AU where Henry is a Ph.D student, Alex is a law student, and there's a lot of flirting, boys being stupid, a fake date, misunderstandings, and sexy times to top it all off.

Summary
"Just, you know," Henry says. "If your mum weren't the president and you were just a normal bloke living a normal life, what things might be like? What you'd be doing instead?"
After being discovered on Instagram as a teenager, Alex Diaz is thriving as a social media influencer and model who just landed a high profile, high fashion contract with Calvin Klein. Alex can get any girl he wants, and he’s loving it. Meanwhile, British poet Henry Fox has just arrived in L.A. to kick off a North American tour promoting his new, steamy book of gay erotic poetry, and he’s attracting a lot of attention.
Bad blood is immediately sparked between them when Henry blows Alex off at their first meeting. Several tabloid rumors and an Instagram tantrum later, Alex and Henry are reluctantly thrust together to make nice, resulting in a grudging friendship and a magnetism between them that Alex can't explain. Why is Henry's poetry making Alex feel like this? And just what is it about Henry Fox that gets to him so much?- Language:

Summary
A man of his position shouldn’t be smoking at all, much less on the holy ground of a place of worship– but Gallagher couldn’t find it in himself to give a damn. His congregation was waiting for him inside, and instead he was hidden in the overgrown vines that covered the back half of his church, sprawling and dark along the old brick, creeping along the line of the iron fence and creating a small, hidden respite.
Gallagher is such an uncaring priest that an Angel comes to scold him. Unfortunately for Sunday, Gallagher doesn't give a damn about heavenly threats.

“This must be a mistake. I had requested a single.”
Wriothesley shrugs. “There’s two rooms. Technically, your room is a single.”
“I - suppose that is true? But the intent was that I would not have a roommate. That is, not to say, I presume you are a troublesome fellow. Just…”
Wriothesley almost snorts a laugh. Fellow? Ah, that’s a new one. “I’m actually the repair guy,” he says, gesturing to the television.
“Are you? Oh thank archons, that’s a relief. I really thought—”
“I’m kidding.”
Modern AU in which Neuvillette is a law student, Wriothesley is on scholarship for boxing, and the universe keeps pushing them together. They say opposites attract, right? But are they really so different?

Summary
There he stood. Frozen. In the presence of a man who Henry was willing to swear before Queen and country, under pain of death, was the single most beautiful person on the face of the planet, and possibly several galaxies beyond. A man who possessed the kind of magnetic pull that could persuade Henry to believe in a Catholic God. A man Henry needed to get at least 800 kilometres away from before he caused an international scandal in a tea room at Kensington Palace.

Summary
In which Marco is a friendless college freshman with a penchant for creeping on the guy with the two-toned hair in his Astronomy class. Considering the fact that this is a jeanmarco fic, they'll probably end up becoming friends and, I dunno, maybe fall in love with each other.
Sarcasm aside, this is a lame, unoriginal college AU complete with fun, fluff, and angst. Expect cruel canon references and half-jokes aplenty.

Summary
Henry Fox’s was the kind of classic handsomeness you’d be wise not expecting to exist now. A face like his, that pretty and that gorgeous, belongs in black and white print with some wild story from the fifties attached.
He’d seen clips of him performing over the years, and something had stuck with him every time he did. Fluttered in his stomach and clawed it's way up his chest and set up home there.
He just hadn’t realised that something was his bisexuality.
In which Henry is the frontman of the band YRS and Alex is a single father running a law firm desperately in need of a break. These facts are unrelated, until they aren’t.

“Because I’m her best friend and you’re her brother?”
