    Summary

    Henry Fox never expected to have children. As the black—or rainbow—sheep of the family, he accepted that long ago. But tragedy takes the lives of his brother and sister-in-law. Suddenly, Henry finds himself the guardian of his precocious little niece, turning his life upside down!

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is just fine, thank you very much. Freshly graduated from NYU Law, he’s ready to kick off his career.

    One day, he runs into a handsome man with his little girl.

    Sometimes we have to find each other before we can find ourselves.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is fed up. With some encouragement from his beloved mum, he decides to head to Cornwall for the summer so he can reset and hopefully even cheer himself the fuck up. There, he meets Charlie Spring; sarcastic and self-assured and a little bit lost himself. It’s amazing what six weeks, near-constant rain and a little bit of opening up can do for you.

    or

    A love letter to Cornwall, to cosiness, and to love. Hopefully.

    Summary

    “Wanna practice kissing again?” Charlie whispered, warm breath infused with Moscato and sweet berries tickling Nick’s ear.

    Nick’s eyes, dazed like peering through a veil of melted honey, widened.

    “I–” Nick breathed, gripping the cup in his hand with so much force he thought the plastic might crack. “Yes.”

    “Yeah?” Charlie asked, batting thick, dark lashes up at Nick’s flustered expression. “You don’t have to say yes, you know.”

    “I can’t imagine ever saying no to you."


    or, the one where nick has his first date with a boy and is nervous about what comes afterwards. charlie, his best friend, offers to help.

    Summary

    They look nothing like what they used to. Time and life have completely changed them. But as they sit there in silence, eating two halves of one cupcake, letting Brooklyn remind there where they came from, and enjoying a sky full of stars… They are those same little boys, somewhere deep down. For just a second, you’d be able to see them again.

    And Bucky thinks to himself that maybe it’s little moments like these – fleeting as they may be – that remind him why life is still worth living.

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes does not fall from the train in the Alps. Steve Rogers does not go missing in the crash-landing of the Valkyrie. Instead, they go back to Brooklyn, they get a new apartment, and they try to start over.

    In 1946, Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter get married.

    In 1952, Bucky Barnes marries, too.

    They have children, they go to work, they struggle with domestic life after their years at war. And throughout it all, despite it all, Bucky Barnes is irrevocably in love with Steve Rogers.
