Summary
Mazeru (word, Japanese): depending on usage, to mix, blend, mingle, or let in.
Shane Hollander is a good chef. Precise, organized, always on top of orders and his staff. Good enough to have his own kitchen, if he could just convince himself to take the leap of faith. Good enough to be head chef at Montreal's prestigous Trois Cloiches for five years. Good enough to keep up with internationally acclaimed chefs half a world away from his own kitchen? That's another question.
A last minute addition to Lost Kitchen, an oddball culinary event, lands Shane in in Kanazawa, Japan, for ten days. The experience leads him not just to new flavors and techniques, but to harder questions of family, memory, and worth. All while standing next to and in the shadow of someone he had promised, years ago, to forget.

Summary
Shane wasn’t bothered. Her face was open and clear of nerves. She held Arthur’s eyes easily, something passing between the two of them that Ilya himself didn’t understand. But, he knew in his guts, it was alright.
A small smile pulled her lips. “So you do remember me?”
Arthur raised a hand and waved it in the air. “Sorta.”
“Okay. Tell me what you remember then,” Shane asked, impossibly gentle.

Summary
The human face is, after all, nothing more nor less than a mask...
January, 1933. Mystery Novelist Henry Fox is called back to New York for an urgent meeting with his publishers, cutting his book tour unexpectedly shorty. Relying on the wiles of his best friend, Percy Okonjo, he secures a shared compartment on the California Zephyr, a train running from San Francisco to Chicago. Bunked with a charismatic lawyer and surrounded by an odd jumble of people, Henry settles in for a comfortable trip.
When the train becomes snowbound in the Rocky Mountains, and a passenger is found dead in his berth, an inconvenience becomes a ticking clock. Henry, determined to help his friend and keep an innocent person out of prison, agrees to play detective until they reach the next city. As the hours tick down, one thing becomes starkly clear: the murderer is, without a shed of doubt, still on the train; one of the ten strangers wandering the corridors and cars of the Zephyr.

Summary

October,1928. When asked by film star, Arthur Fox, to consult on a family matter, Alex Claremont-Diaz hadn’t had a whirlwind trip to Egypt in mind. Posing as Fox’s latest assistant, Alex is tasked with observing the actor’s daughter and new husband, their family and gathered guests aboard a glamorous Nile steamboat.
The idyllic honeymoon set against the pyramids and temples turns tragic by elements just as ancient as its surroundings — passion, blackmail, and murder. With Arthur’s youngest, rakish son, Henry, acting as assistant, Alex is determined to find the killer before the boat makes port again. Will he succeed, or will his own efforts be cut dramatically short?

Summary
Strands of dark hair fell over the smooth skin of his forehead. A lazy constellation of freckles dotted his cheeks from the line of his nose to nearly his temple. Dark brown eyes glared up at him, the heat of them weaker than it could have been for the man’s circumstances. Fear lived in his gaze more than ferocity.
Ilya didn’t think it suited him, that fear.
_______________________Ilya is the second son of an aristocratic family, languishing in his own boredom. Shane is a horse-archer captured by guards during a skirmish, brought to Muscovy by force. When told to pick a prize for himself, Ilya chooses Shane -- and everything that comes afterwards.

Summary
“You are still you, yes?” Ilya repeated. “You are still slow hockey player with pretty freckles, yes?” It was a weak attempt at a joke, so Ilya shook it away and tried again. “You are still Shane, same person, same brain, yes?”
Shane blinked up at him, thinking. Then, nodding slowly. “Mostly. Yeah. I don’t know about a name or anything yet, but—. Yeah. I’m still me.”
“Then it does not matter.”

“Sure,” Ilya repeated. “What do you mean, sure, Hollander?”
Hollander hummed. “If you want me to be your physical therapist, Rozanov, I’ve got no problem with that. I’ve got openings and I’d be happy to take you on.”
________________Ilya Rozanov is a ballet dancer with an injury. Shane Hollander is the physical therapist he can't get out of his head. The longer they work together, the closer they become.

Summary
There is a place that splits the worlds. Primordial. Innate. Organic.
We have felt it since the dawn of time. In marrow of bones and velvet sinew. A small, bright spot in the very water of our brains.
This place between, unseen though felt, has its own sort of gravity. It draws some to its edges, placid though tempting others do not feel the pull of its tides, governed by the modern world and not some ancient faceless moon. Some it snatches, then swallows whole.

Summary
In 1989, Arthur Fox set out to drive the Pan-American highway on motorcycle. With nothing but a small production crew in a pickup truck for support, he and his cameraman ran the length of South America, through Central America and Mexico, to end at San Antonio, Texas, two weeks before Christmas. The trip, Arthur would say after, changed his life.
Thirty years later, novelist Henry Fox is asked to recreate his father’s journey to mark the anniversary. Alongside his old friend and award-winning actor, Alex Claremont-Diaz, and his father’s best friend and original cameraman, Shaan Srivastava, they attempt to ride from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles in a hundred days. It’s a test of more than body and bike. It’s a test of endurance, relationships, and nerve.
An AU inspired by the series Long Way Up

Summary
Henry Fox started baking on a whim — to ease his anxiety, then his grief. Not to get on Bake Off. But, when his sister and best friend submit an application on his behalf, Henry decides to turn his dread at being on camera into a way to pull his family back together. Shoved into ten Saturdays of competition, he finds perfect frosting, mild embarrassment, strange flavor combinations, and — most unexpectedly — Alex.
Alex Claremont-Diaz did not agree to Bake Off — not willingly, anyhow. After a year of accidental missteps and a career on the fritz, he’s looking for a life preserver. Being the franchise’s newest host is his best offer in months, and Alex expects quaint English countryside, group hugs, good food, and stupid intro bits. Not Henry Fox, a sharp-witted PhD student with a quiet exterior, who makes his heart flip-flop in ways Alex is pretty sure it’s not supposed to.

Summary
From the credit card slots, she pulled a slim pale blue card with neat, deep green writing on it. She slid it across the table to Alex, Nora very obviously studying him as he picked it up, read it, and turned it over in his hands. It wasn’t a flashy little missive – short, straight to the point, diplomatic even.

Summary
Look, and see, a world that holds more
wonder than any since Earth was born.Of all who reigned, none had renown,
Like the boy who pulled sword from stone…
But this is not that king.
Nor is not his son…Let me tell you a new tale,
laid down just as I have heard it told.
Its words inked, its letters pressed,
in outline of adventure brave and bold.His song — green, clever, wild, and gold.
Forever set in blood, in stone,
Like all great myths of old…
_______________________________________An AU inspired by The Green Knight (2021) and Gawain & The Green Knight. In which Alex is Gawain, Arthur is king, and Henry is a fox.

Summary
There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.
It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.
But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.
Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Summary
A young woman sitting in their kitchenette, a portfolio folder held protectively on her lap. She had dark hair, neatly styled in a French twist, and a visitor’s badge clipped to her blouse. Her heels had red soles, a bit worn but in good condition. When her gaze lifted, they were a striking, haunting, bright blue.
Alex cleared his throat and approached her with squared shoulders. “Hi. Agent Claremont-Diaz. Are you looking for someone, ma’am?”
The instinctual, reflexive ma’am earned him a crooked sort of smile. “I believe I’m looking for you, actually,” she replied in a smooth English accent; educated and precise. She rose from the plastic chair. She stuck out a hand. “Beatrice Mountchristien. I represent the Frick Gallery.”
____________________________________________________________________________________Alex and Henry struggle to find a new case after weeks of stagnant work when a Gallery representative, Bea Mountchristien, approaches them with a case. Is the supposed Scythian goldsmithery the genuine article, a historic forgery, or one to cover up actions more damaging. Faced with not only a case but the realities of his own relationships, will Henry be able to lean on Alex or close himself off?

Summary
Marco hummed low in his throat, his hand skimming Elliot's side to find his waist. There was softness there — a gentle, tantalizing give under his fingertips, just under the last littlest rib. “There. Was that so hard?”
A blink later, fingers were tucking into Marco’s collar, tugging him close enough to smell the tobacco on Elliot. The smirk was back. “More than you know.”
“Oh yeah?”
“And that’s all I’m telling.”
__________________________________After a summer of missteps, Marco tries for something right. Two years after leaving Arizona, Elliot wrestles with letting in something new. Working through leftover trauma and lingering memories on a college campus, they find a middle ground.

Summary
When Carlos pulled his arm away, they turned their face up to his. Soft features and rose petal lips, green eyes that appeared center-less and endlessly deep in any light, a delicate fan of lashes around them. Dark hair dropped over his forehead, the rest tucked up under the hat, which he usually didn’t wear. Carlos’ shirt was draped over his arm, his father’s hat hanging from his fingertips.
“Give it back, Carlos,” TK said, voice just audible above the din. No one paid the pair any attention. The next match was winding up with much cheering and hollering. TK squeezed Carlos’ wrist tighter. “Give. It. Back.”
____________________________________Austin, 1900 -- A year after his father's death, Carlos has found solace in something destructive. TK insists there's better peace to be found elsewhere.

“Sleep.” Henry huffed. “I just bloody want to sleep. I’d give my left eye to not be so goddamned exhausted—.”
“I’ve an idea,” Pez interrupted. Henry nodded for him to go on; he was desperate enough to try even the craziest of Pez’s schemes. “You may or may not be aware of all Oxford campus services, but—.”
“I’m going to regret this,” Henry huffed.

Henry's insomnia takes a turn towards the horrendous. Pez decides his royal friend should consider some creative solutions. Enter Alex Claremont-Diaz, exchange student from Georgetown University, peer relaxation counselor, and the most beautiful person Henry has ever seen. The rest is inevitable, isn't it?
