    Summary

    “Which of you morons,” she hisses, “let Eddie log into twitter today?”
    Eddie blinks.
    “How do you-”
    “Because, Eddie- you commented using the band account. You logged in on our official socials.”
    Eddie stares at her dumbly. Then-
    “Oh fuck.”
    “Yes,” she agrees. “Oh fuck.”
    “I’ll- delete that, then,” he laughs nervously. “Before-”
    “Before someone picks up on it, screenshots it, begins distributing it across the internet at a frankly alarming pace and starts a series of hashtags up in an effort to find the ‘pretty boy’ gardener you were lusting over?”

    ---

    Eddie is a burnt-out-overworked-crash-and-burn-rockstar with a crippling twitter addiction. Steve is a chronically-offline-homegrown-indiana-boy-flowershop-owner with a green thumb and a penchant for taking in strays.
    So naturally when Eddie first sees him, he's head over heels. And Steve has no clue what his day job is.
    He'll tell Steve about his 'real' identity before things go too far- right?

    Summary

    "What have we here?"

    "It's nothing, really, I just—"

    The cover features a quaint illustration of two men standing in front of what appears to be a needlessly complex and completely nonsensical chemistry setup. They have their backs to the viewer. The taller man has his hand in the other's back pocket.

    "Advanced Chemistry," Viktor mumbles, reading the title out as his fingertips dance lightly over the raised letters embossed into the flexible cover, "I didn't realize you read romance."

    "I don't," Jayce argues, his tone and posture defensive, but as Viktor raises a skeptical brow in his partner's direction, he seems to realize the error in his words, "Well, not usually."

     

    -or- Viktor catches Jayce reading a smutty romance novel, but there's more to this story than either of them realizes.

    Summary

    "I'm not going to sit around and do nothing while you suffer, V," Jayce says simply, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head like there is no other option. Because there isn't. Not really. "It's not happening. So, either you let me help you, or I'm finding where your doctor lives and dragging you over there right now." Folding his arms over his chest, Jayce stares down at a frowning Viktor, his lower lip plush and pouting the way it always does when he's annoyed at his partner. Jayce shrugs again. "Your choice."

    Viktor's eyes narrow and for a moment, Jayce wonders if perhaps that sharp honey stare is more dangerous than any laser they could ever design, boring into him with the heat of a bright burning star.

    "You are a colossal pain in the ass, Jayce Talis."

     

    -or- Jayce helps Viktor adjust his back brace

    Summary

    Henry had been very pleased to discover that Alex and Nora were also a shoeless household, but he’d stared at the SHOES OFF, PANTS OPTIONAL mat at their door for longer than strictly advised because, well. Pants means something different where he’s from, all right, and Alex had been standing right there and the corresponding visual was not—well it wasn’t—Henry was not equipped to deal with it at the moment. Or ever, really, for that matter.

    .

    Or, Henry likes his routines, and his neighbor Alex likes to wreck them just the right amount.

    Summary

    “So, polo,” he says, looking Henry up and down. The contrast between their appearances—with Henry in his clean white breeches and pale blue Ariat-branded polo shirt—is stark. “That’s the one that’s like croquet on horseback, right?”

    Henry is so relieved that they’re not dwelling on his accidental come-on that he can’t even be that offended. Alex delivers the barb with that same teasing smirk, and Henry is forced to laugh as he scoffs. “Not exactly.”

    (As a professional polo player, rodeo is a foreign world to Henry. But when his new sponsor organises a photoshoot with a top rodeo star, he finds his life turned upside down by a bronco rider with big brown eyes and dark curls. Surely this won't become a problem...)
