Derek is a sleepwalker who keeps wandering into his downstairs neighbour’s bedroom. Stiles is pretty sure the hot guy from the park is going to kill him in his sleep.

Violet Sorrengail is DONE. She's done being the dutiful youngest daughter of Senator Lilith Sorrengail. She's done trying to be the perfect girlfriend. She's done living up to everyone else's expectations. In need of a fresh start, she packs her bags - and her secrets - and moves to Brooklyn with her estranged brother, Brennan, to start over. Things are off to a great start when she has a hot one-night stand - until she realizes the handsome stranger is none other than one of her brother's best friends, Xaden Riorson. Things are complicated enough - they do not want Brennan to find out - but when Brennan asks Xaden to protect his sister, things get infinitely more complex. Everyone has secrets. And no secret stays buried forever. Even ones that could bring down the government.

One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means. Alex very narrowly does not break something. (When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that? Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

Ed and Stede meet as strangers one night on a New York subway platform when Stede discovers an abandoned newborn baby. Both men are instantly infatuated with him (and each other). When they attend the court hearing for his case, the judge spontaneously decides to offer Stede custody, which he accepts– only to realize afterwards that she assumed they were a couple. The two men immediately craft a plan to pretend to be together in order to keep the baby, creating fake backstories, coaching their friends, and moving in together... into the same bedroom... and the same bed. But what they didn't anticipate was falling head over heels in love, not only with their son, but with each other. Inspired by the TRUE STORY outlined in this article Features: a very fast slow burn, fake dating, only one bed, pining while fucking, and other tropes
