    Summary

    Eliot was the artist in the family, but now without much family left, he's the sole inheritor of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, the family business that his alcoholic father and brother have left disorganized and in debt. He doesn't even like plants. Quentin and Julia own Fantasyland, the equally struggling feminist sex shop next door, which should be Quentin's dream job, but the chronic depression that derailed his academic career hasn't left much space in his life to believe in dreams. Quentin and Eliot click immediately, but in order to get a relationship off the ground, at least one of them is going to have to deal with his fear of commitment, and who has that kind of free time? A love story about figuring out what you want to do for a living, daddy issues, best friend drama, recovery, kink, and other dangers inherent to one's 20s.

    Summary

    Bucky stands at the hotel bar. There’s an empty stool right next to him but he’s too jumpy to sit, skin buzzing with a mix of anxiety and anticipation.

    He doesn’t do this often. It’s a risk, every time. Even with his hair pulled back into a loose bun and a glove covering his metal hand, there’s always the chance that something might give him away.

    But the truth is he’s lonely and he’s touch-starved, and even though half the time he tells himself that he’s cruising through the app ironically to laugh at the profiles, he can’t deny that his mouth started to water the second he saw Hawkeye616’s profile pic.

    Shoulders. Biceps. Did he mention shoulders?

    The profile pic was angled to show just a slice of his face — a strong but scruffy jaw, lips slanted in a smirk, a flash of blue eye. Just enough so that Bucky would know him if he saw him, but “Hawkeye616” would have to approach first.

    “James?”

    Bucky looks up from his whiskey glass, and — oh.

    It’s definitely worth the risk.

    Summary


    Jason clocks every tiny flicker as Clint’s eyes catch on the hooked scar on his cheek, the paper-thin white line across his throat, and the deep swath of skin that’s exposed by his shirt.

     

    “You don’t gotta go,” he says, and wow, James isn’t the only one with a practiced, panty-dropping accent. The twang has all but disappeared, replaced by something warm and husky that immediately brings tousled sheets and bare skin to mind. His shirt is sticking to him like a second skin, revealing peaked nipples and abs that are borderline obscene.

     

    Jason freezes halfway off the barstool, the toes of his right foot barely on the ground.

     

    Clint hooks his chin over James’ shoulder and looks Jason over even more thoroughly – and the first glance hadn’t been anything like careless. He hums as his eyes drag over where the wool of Jason’s pants has stretched tightly over his thighs. His hands creep around James’ waist, settle on his hips. He tilts his head a little, still evaluating Jason - for what, he doesn’t know.

     

    “Oh,” he says, a handful of seconds later, sounding delighted. Like he’s discovered a secret. “This is the guy.”
