Summary
When his birthday postcard arrives, Alex doesn't expect it to come with a letter from a stranger. And when he writes back, he certainly doesn't expect a reply.
But one letter turns to two, and then into dozens more. What begins as a mistake turns into something neither of them could have predicted. Something worth waiting for.
“I think I’ve been falling for you since you were just ink on paper.”
Or: the modern letter-writing AU.

Summary
Divorce lawyer Alex went to his sister’s wedding to drink, snark, and quietly confirm that marriage is a huge scam. Then he meets Henry Fox: the dreamy, sincere venue owner who cracks his cynical shell.
Between stolen moments and rejections, running scared and dragging each other back, Alex has to face the terrifying truth; he might have been wrong about love all along.
“If he’d let his fears win, Alex would have missed this. This man. This soft, sunlit version of himself. He would have missed every bloom.”
Or; the one where a divorce lawyer and a wedding venue owner fight it, fear it, and fall in love anyway.

Summary
Booktoker Alex didn’t mean to start an internet feud with beloved writer Henry Fox, it just kind of… happened. One off-hand comment on a TikTok live, and suddenly he’s public enemy number one. But when he finally reads the book he trashed, all he can do is hope for Henry’s forgiveness, and maybe, somehow, a chance to win his heart.

Summary
When June gets engaged, Alex, her brother, and Henry, her best friend, are asked to be the official Guys Of Honor. There’s a month to plan the whole thing, which would be near impossible anyway, only made worse by the fact that being around each other the last several years has only ever led to petty fights and useless competition. Unfortunately, as the two most important men in her life - aside from her fiancé - they don’t really have much of a choice.
Alex has a lot of feelings about this. As it turns out, Henry does too.

Summary
Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.
Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.
Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.
Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.
The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.
Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.
