poncaeu sunrises acastle Summary: Henry can't look away. He can't quite believe he can do that, not look away. He can always have that privilege, now. "Happy Valentine's," Henry says softly, and it's another thing he can't really believe he gets to do. He gets to have this day, with this man he has loved for so much of his life. (Years of love, hidden and quiet, and then, bright. Henry, Alex, and then, Nena, and the life of their making.)

the sun burns, bright with every hum by whisperedstory Summary: It's the summer of 2021, and nobody knows they're in Mexico. A trip full of lazing around in the sun, enjoying good food and drinks and, most importantly, each other's company should be relaxing, and it is, for the most part. But when photos of their vacation start circulating on the internet, photos Alex both hates were taken without their consent and wishes he could post on his own socials, he's confronted with the reality that their lives will never be truly private. And so his mind keeps circling back to the same question: how much of himself is he willing to share with the world?
i wish i could live in this fic. its the kind of story that reminds you why you love the source material so much.

Sun blind summary, fic started posting in 2018. Summary states: “The sun is in Auguste’s eyes when he dies. It is there when he wakes up, too.”
Author notes show that life happened but author never stopped thinking about this story.
Author notes in the most recent chapter indicate that they became so close to some of the readers that they attended their wedding.
“I don’t read WIPs what if they never finish it”
What if writers deserve support anyway? What if life happens but the story stays with you? With them? What if, years later on a random sunday, it updates?
What if that fic is Sunblind?
