Summary
Alex wants to say, God I love your weird and brilliant brain, but sometimes seeing Henry this open and unguarded makes him feel like he might accidentally drop and break something, so instead he just runs his palm up Henry’s leg, stopping above his knee.
“You know what? I think you might be right about that.”
And Henry — smart, gorgeous, mesmerizing Henry who most likely will never cease to surprise and amaze Alex — just reaches over to lace their fingers together in a way that makes Alex think he knows, somehow.

Summary
Henry stays on the porch step, just watching. Just looking. It feels like it’s the only thing he’s supposed to do right now—he should just let the world slow around him, let the red cliffs hold them still for a little longer, and look at the man he loves.
He doesn’t think he’ll ever get used to the way Alex glows in the morning. Not like this, anyway. There’s no put-together sharpness, no fast-talking charm turned all the way up—just soft Alex. Sleepy, gentle eyes still crinkled from the pillow, sweatshirt sleeves too long over his wrists, and those damned soft curls that seem to be holding the secrets of the universe.
And this knocks something loose in Henry every single time.
Or: Alex's curls are wild in the morning breeze and Henry can't get enough of his boyfriend.

Summary
It wasn’t the work Thomas had imagined for himself, but then again, he’d long since stopped imagining a future for himself. The shop was tucked between a tailor and a laundress, modest and clean, with a single window filled with braces and straps and pieces of mannequins wearing assorted items. Hands with brass knuckles, knees of jointed steel, feet shaped from rosewood. It was a workshop for ghosts, Thomas thought, a place where broken bodies came to be reassembled.
The war had ended, but for Thomas, peace had arrived in random shards. Dismissed from Downton without references, he drifted through Leeds and York, carrying luggage, cleaning alleys, surviving. His bad hand ached and curled in on itself, his pride following suit. Having finally been offered a job in a prosthetics workshop, Thomas manages to find something he hadn't dared imagine and begins to build himself up again.
