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.

Summary
Henry thinks on it for a moment. “I write a romance. You write literary fiction. Whoever sells first, wins?”
Alex grins, suddenly feeling more invigorated about writing than he has over the last year combined. “And because I’m feeling generous, I’ll even teach you how.”
“How to write a romance?” Henry asks, eyebrows shooting up toward his hairline once more.
Alex nods. “During the week, we work. We write. Whatever. But on Saturdays, I’ll take you out and show you how a real romantic lead does it.”
Henry clears his throat and the tops of his cheeks darken again in a way that makes Alex feel far more satisfied than it probably should. “And on Sundays, I show you how I conduct research for my writing.”
He sticks out a hand for Henry to shake. “You’ve got yourself a deal.”
The smile on Henry’s face as he takes Alex’s hand feels dangerous in a way that he can’t quite place. “Deal.”
Or, the one where Alex and Henry are (only kind of) rival authors who wind up living next door to each other in the same beach town all summer and nothing goes as planned.
(based on Beach Read by Emily Henry)

Summary
Never in his eight-year career in this league had Alex witnessed such an intense and melodramatic reaction to a trade. In theory, he knew that Henry Fox was considered a big deal, but that didn’t mean that he understood why.
The fact of the matter was that he knew exactly who Henry Fox was.Henry Fox, Son of Hockey Royalty.
Henry Fox, the bane of Alex’s existence.
or, a professional hockey au where nhl superstars alex and henry have been rivals since they were sixteen years old. eleven years later, in a move that completely rocks the entire NHL and its fanbase, they become teammates. alex swears to himself that he just wants to keep his head down, stay in his own lane and play hockey. but, well, alex has never been good at doing either of those things when it comes to henry fox. a few mishaps and a round of damage control later force them to put their differences aside for the sake of their team, and if it also has alex reconsidering his stance on fox quite substantially, that’s no one’s business but his own, right?

Summary
He can’t stop thinking about the fucking ankle. About what it represents. The sensuality of the muscles and tendons underneath the flesh, begging for the press of his fingerprints, the indention of his teeth, those same ankles crossed and pressed into Alex’s lower back, the sweet symphony of two bodies finding solace and pleasure in one another even if only until morning light breaks through the curtains.
He wants to get fucked, basically.
+
newly out as bi, alex decides the best way to commemorate the occasion is to sleep with the most well-endowed guy on campus. henry thinks he might be insane, and isn't quite sure what that says about him for being the one to catch feelings when this whole thing was just supposed to be practice in the first place. it all works out. eventually.
