The Winter Olympics 2018 is something Mickey would have never believed possible to compete in, but here he is, doing what he does best - hashing it out on the ice. Whilst Ice Hockey is his center focus, the one thing he can find any freeing enjoyment in, a certain figure skater with flame-red hair changes that in fiery flash when Mickey catches his eye.

Oh God, she was probably someone's wife or mother or something and he'd just made things ten times more awkward and – "Oh, I didn't mean – I mean, I didn't mean it like that, I just thought –"
Then a large, masculine, warm hand slid into his, and a low, very male voice said: "Nat, you love new friends, don't be rude."
"James, really?"
"Yes, really." The hand in Steve's gently tugged. "C'mon, I'll buy you a coffee; you can be friends with me instead."

Summary
A time stamp series from characters and events from main novels of Transcendent Suffering and Echoes Beneath.
Dedicated by request to my beloved readers. You are the light of my life.
* * *
“Will!” The older man’s eyes snapped open, heaving up right, and smacking a sneaky hand once more and then a backside for good measure. “Leave my profiteroles alone this instant or find something else to do with your time.”
“What I normally do with my time happens to be scolding me…” Will reminded with a lazy roll of hips against a thickening interest with a smirk. “He also is very fussy about me blowing him in front of company.”
“You Americans and you’re rules. How dull it must be for you with all these standards of conformity and politeness.”
Peter rucked up a soft cotton hoodie, exposing a frail ribcage, kissing a freckle on the priest’s stomach until he giggled then flushed a furious shade of red.
“Elias and I have no such reservations.”
“We know,” Hannibal and Will groaned in unison.

Summary
The BONCAS Award Show turns out to be much more all-encompassing than originally expected, as Dan and Phil make their continuous appearances on stage. They both do very little to hide their fondness and appreciation of each other, what they’ve achieved together, and their dear audience but it’s only when they are alone that they let their guard down.
Or… the five times Dan and Phil are on stage and the one time they aren’t.

Summary
He had never slept well. It was just something Hearthstone was used to. It really didn't bother him that much, and it wouldn't be that big of a deal if his host would stop making it one. When Blitzen had found out that Hearth couldn't sleep, he had overreacted. How are you supposed to recover if you don't rest? He had said, and he had a point, but this wasn't the solution Hearthstone would have suggested.

Hearth doesn't sleep well, and Blitz has a surprising solution. -

Summary
"You know what? I can do it for you. Let me do it for you. The wedding is in two weeks— you won't get a date on such a short notice. Auntie Pezza has got you. Plus, you're hot, Hen. I wouldn't mind getting some of that," Pez winks, nudging Henry with his foot.
Look, Alex knows it's just some harmless flirting— it doesn't mean anything. Still, that's his fucking husband and he'll be damned if Alex lets anyone except him kiss that perfect mouth.
"No, I'll do it," Alex interrupts before Henry can say anything. "No offence, man, but nobody is going to believe y'all are dating."

Summary
“Here’s what we’re gonna do,” he tells Martha in their next meeting, which takes place two hours outside of London at her parents’ ‘cottage’. To think they talk of her family as commoners when they have this much money is fucking insane. It just goes to illustrate how out of touch the whole monarchy machine is.
“Tea?” she offers, and he nods just to be polite. A literal, honest to god butler comes over to pour for him. “Carry on.”
“You’re gonna disappear,” he tells her, and her whole face lights up. Her shoulders relax. She looks straight at him. He can hear the kids playing with their grandmother in the next room.
“Tell me more.”
Or, Alex is Martha's divorce attorney

Henry rolled his eyes. “No. You tell me — that sounds better — why I should bring my ex-hook up to my brother’s wedding?”
Pez hummed and half-shrugged. “Why wouldn’t you? He’s the perfect thing to light your gran’s helmet of hair on fire.” Pez set his cup down and leaned forward onto the table. “That’s what Pip encouraged you to do, didn’t he?”
“Martha more than Pip, but yes. He did.” Henry sighed.
“Then ask Alex.”
___________________________________________With his brother's wedding a few weeks away, Henry Fox is determined to not show up alone. Not wanting to ask a stranger, he instead turns to Alex, hoping to manufacture something believable from something familiar. Try as he might to keep a level head, Henry can't help falling in love with the man. Will it come around to bite him or will it turn into something more than he had hoped?

“Henry.” Pez comes over, puts both hands on Henry’s cheeks and looks him dead in the eye. “You are not a sad man who’s gotten dumped. You’re in the prime of your life, and I quite desperately need you to act like it.”
“The prime of my life,” Henry scoffs, more incredulous than questioning. “I’ve just gotten out of a 15 year relationship, endured a divorce, am suffering an almost impressive case of writer’s block, and your hands are like bloody icicles.” Pez grins, doesn’t take his hands away. “Explain to me how this is my prime. Please.”
Pez tilts his head, and sounds entirely serious when he says, “Literally anything can happen from here.”

Summary
Alex frantically unlocks his phone and stares at their text thread, at the heart reaction that Henry had left on his most recent message. His thumbs hover uselessly over his screen, trembling as moisture burns his vision. The entire room is thick with uneasiness, heavy enough that it’s hard to breathe, and Alex wants to tell Henry something, wants to reach out and find the solace that Henry so often offers him without even realizing it.
But mostly, as his brain finally catches up to what’s actually happening, all Alex can think is that he doesn’t want to die.
He tries to come up with a list of reasons why in his head, a comprehensive one that probably should include family and career goals and a million other things, but in the end, in the moment, all he can fucking think about is Henry.

Summary
Henry doesn’t doubt that, just as much as he doesn’t doubt now that Alex won’t have a single issue with him being trans. In another life, when Henry whispered it in the quiet hours of the night, he didn’t. In another life, when he kissed Henry anyway, he didn’t.
In another life. In this one, when Alex meets his eyes, all there is left behind them is a cold glare that freezes Henry to his soul.
One year ago, Henry had a whirlwind of a day with Alex after a chance meeting in a coffee shop, only to leave in the morning to protect his heart. He doesn't expect to see Alex again, until he shows up at June's wedding and finds out her brother is the same Alex he hasn't been able to get out of his mind for a year - and he's pissed.

Summary
Alex joins a Championship football team during the winter transfer window. It’s the biggest move in his career, and he’s nervous about proving his worth, especially because of the team he’s joined. It was once managed by his footballing hero, Arthur Fox. He played at the club, and later managed it for a number of years before his untimely death. Henry, having come through the ranks at the club, is their club legend. He’s their top goal scorer, the first name on the team sheet and captain. He’s adored by fans and players alike. Henry is also gay, which is somewhat of an open secret. The players and staff know, but Alex doesn’t until later on. Alex believes that he’s straight, until one night with Henry that makes him question everything.

Summary
It was bound to happen at some point. Alex and Henry had both started modeling within three months of each other and they'd both become known for dramatic, high fashion shoots, editorials, and runways, so it had just been a matter of time before they would be hired to work together. He could have handled it if they'd just been on the same set at the same time without actually having to shoot together, but no - the premise of the campaign is sensuality, intimacy. He has to pretend to be in love with Henry.

“Can I call you up, handsome?”

‘I thought you were into that.’

They are practically polar opposites. Henry is quiet and introverted where Alex is definitely not, but it works for them just fine. It’s just like what Ms. Benson taught them about magnets. Opposites attract, and Henry wouldn’t have it any other way.

Summary
Henry reaches up and traces Alex’s cheek. Alex closes his eyes at his touch and lets Henry map his face with the pads of his fingers. He brushes over the curve of Alex’s ear, thumbs at the cut of his jaw and the indent of his chin dimple. Alex feels himself practically trembling, half in anticipation and half in response to the tenderness of the moment. His nose is next, then the line of his brows before Henry finally, finally traces the shape of his lips.
