Ian is a man living a nightmare. Mankind has been overthrown; but the rebellion came from within. In the future, artificial clones are created to fulfill specialized roles in society efficiently and well, creating perfect order. The programme has not been fully implemented yet, however, and most of the remaining normal, non-clone humans are treated as pariahs and allocated the lowest jobs and status in society. The clones are in charge now, and Ian is living in their world. Then things change forever. Ian's brother is murdered - and Ian finds a clone fleeing the scene of the crime. Denied help by the clone police force, who refuse to consider the possibility of a clone's guilt, Ian resolves to hunt down the culprit himself - Even if he has to go through every single clone to do so. However, as Ian is brought in for questioning, his clone interrogator resolves to investigate the truth of the matter - and his world is turned upside down. Only one thing is certain - In Their World, nothing is as it seems. This story is a collaborative project with @hannahblanchsky1, be sure to check out her page as well if you like what you see!

Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental health issues, drug and alcohol use, disordered eating, profanity, and (light) sexual content Note: Please consider the politics in this story to be a very fictional representation, and they do NOT truly represent US politics.
