    Summary

    Henry Fox is only attending this American football game as a PR stunt. That's all it is. He's definitely not fatally attracted to the brash quarterback Alex Claremont-Diaz who had the audacity to publicly call him out for not taking his number at a concert... that would be absolutely idiotic of him.

    This fic is finally fucking completed.

    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

    He glances down to the word ‘LOVE’ at the bottom. It’s too loud, too harshly written. Alex doesn’t feel harsh or loud. He feels a lot, so much it’s overwhelming sometimes, but the edges are soft, not hard. There’s a glow around it, something hazy and barely tinted gold, and Alex feels like if he could reach out and put his hands near it, they would warm up like they used to when he stood in front of the old brick fireplace back home.

    He glances at ‘LOVE’ and then loops back around to ‘HENRY’.

    Maybe, Alex thinks, hands shaking, they’re one in the same. Whatever the fuck that means.

    --

    When June gets sick, Alex knows he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the care that she needs. Even if that means convincing his nemesis/sexuality-crisis-inducing/clandestine hook-up partner/somewhat of an actual friend to pretend to be his soulmate in order to pull it off. It's both more and less complicated than it sounds.

    Summary

    “I picture myself in a small house by the sea, overlooking the water. Writing and reading all day and taking David on long walks and swimming every day. Somewhere really quiet, where there’s not a lot of people. And where nobody thinks of me as Henry Mountchristen.”

    ———

    Fed up of working under his grandmother, Henry quits his job in London, dropping everything for a writer’s life by the sea. He’s desperate to focus on his work and produce something worthy, but a mouthy American with a beautiful smile and a chin dimple has other plans.

    ———

    This fic is fully written and clocking in at around 75k. I’m going to try to update on Saturdays and Wednesdays until we’re done, hopefully bringing us to the end of one long, gay summer ✌️

    *UPDATE: this is now complete and safe to binge 😊
