Daniel Vincent Humphrey has never been entirely comfortable. 

His family loves him, but he's very aware that the rest of the world only tolerates his slow, stuttered speech. When a baby girl appears on his doorstep one evening, his carefully constructed life begins to fray at the edges, and he vows to uncover her true identity and return his life to normal. To make matters worse, the ever-charming Thomas Thorne has ingratiated himself into the Humphrey family, leaving Vincent almost permanently off-kilter. And the most unsettling thought of all: perhaps he won't want either to leave.

This is the 2nd book of the Humphrey Chronicles. It will make much more sense if you read Husband Wanted first!

Husband Wanted (HC #1) by Flo_Writes

Elizbeth Anne Humphrey wants a husband. Her expectations are not outlandish; all she asks is that he be reasonably handsome, reasonably wealthy and completely kind. Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps. He also has a head-wound and no memory of who he is, but Elizabeth Humphrey has larger mysteries to solve; namely, the mystery of who she might marry.

What happened to Thomas Barrow ⎹ Downton Abbey⎹ Explicit 18+⎹ M/M⎹ Gay ♥ FanFic⎹ by Ze__r0

(Or Thomas leaves Downton to work for an odd couple and falls for his new boss.) A year after Lady Mary's wedding, hoping for a clean start, Thomas accepts a peculiar job offer in an even more peculiar household. Her Ladyship is friendly, but volatile and elusive, the former butler has abandoned the ship, the rest of the staff keeps to themselves, and it all has to do with the absent and mysterious Lord Westforth, the Viscount of the estate. Before Thomas can decide whether or not this new life is right for him, Lord Westforth barges into their lives with the apparent need to drive his new butler insane. Thomas wants to hate him, but settles for pity instead. It's only pity, right? God forbid he could feel anything else for this man with his annoying golden curls, his cold blue eyes, or the sexy way he twirls his cigarette between his fingers... Disclaimer: This story is rated Mature, contains explicit and difficult scenes (PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual harassment). Please be advised. Also, it was my first try at writing in English. So... erm. You get it.

The Reluctant Marchioness by littleLo

After a disastrous first season in London, Rose Wilde finds herself torn between two men who love her -- but who both hide secrets that could ruin her. ***** Rose Wilde has always considered herself plain, especially when compared to her beautiful older sister Charlotte, and has practically given up on the idea of being romanced. But when American hotelier Derek Montgomery comes to revolutionise her little, sleepy English village of Ascot, Rose starts to revisit the idea of falling in love. However, Derek brings with him many secrets and obligations, some that might prohibit him from pursuing Rose -- and push her into the arms of her friend, Michael Cornell, the Marquess of Juniper. Will fate allow Rose and Derek to marry for love? Or will she indeed become the reluctant marchioness?

Take Courage, My Heart by valentina7writer

Dead Boy Detectives: (WIP Title) by lookingforst0ries

I have yet to create an idea, but my intention lies here: -Payneland Fanfiction -Slow Burning -- Revolves around Edwin and Charles -- both of their thoughts, lovey-dovey and sad -- but hopelessness in contradiction. ***My intention may change, depending on how I'm feeling, and on suggestions, if I get any.*** I must warn anyone who views this: - This is my first Wattpad story, and I may not have much planned. - The story may end up jumbled up, as what I write could reflect the process of my very thoughts, as if they were a metal sponge (metal sponges hurt a lot when you use them, it's very bad in the sensory sense :((...) There's a really good fic, The Manuscript of Real People by Paraph, and it's on ao3, for anyone who has it. It is my favourite; based in the '70s, a school AU where Charles and Edwin are roomates - sounds bad - but it is magnificent. Read it. 🙏
