    Summary

    The last thing David expected, or wanted, was for a phone call from his sister to interrupt his viewing of 'The Holiday' and drag him out into the Canadian mountains after her car breaks down. Add to that the worsening snowstorm as he travels further north and Alexis accepting a complete stranger's invitation to wait in his cabin until David can get to her and the day has taken a very different and highly unwelcome turn than the one he was anticipating.

    But then he meets the stranger, and perhaps he can forgive Alexis this one. After all, he's seen the film before but Patrick is new.

    Summary

    When David Rose is coerced into helping his parents find a new vacation home up in the mountains, he ends up driving out to the middle of nowhere to look at lake houses with a cute real estate agent who very quickly complicates David’s plan for a quick, one-time trip.

    Or, you don’t have to stop flirting with your realtor if you never actually buy a house, right?

    Summary

    Patrick Brewer had grown up within the confines of the Catholic church.

    He was baptised in the nave of the St Celeste church, received his first holy communion in tandem with his cousins and attended the small primary school adjacent to it until he was old enough for high school. He then joined his cousins and the other children of the town, travelling thirty minutes by bus to Ingleside to attend the Catholic high school, where the cohorts were split by gender.

    When he wins a coveted Baseball Scholarship to play and study at the University of Toronto, he is matched with an enigmatic roommate, David Rose. David upends Patrick's life (in the best possible way) and takes him on a journey of self-discovery he hadn't realised he desperately needed.

    Summary

    After they get off to a bad start, David Rose is certain of one thing: he hates Patrick Brewer with a passion. His smug attitude, the way he always seems to be laughing at David, the way he interferes with David's business, everything.

    He's so caught up in disliking Patrick Brewer that it's a shock when things start to change and he realises that his feelings aren't so straightforward after all.

    Summary

    This fic came about after I saw a post online that suggested Cinderella would make a great fake marriage to lovers story, and that’s how this started- Bea’s fake marriage to lovers story. However it quickly morphed into something else entirely.

    This is a story about Love, in all its forms.

    When Henry tells Bea that he and Alex are engaged, she makes a drastic decision that changes not only the course of her life, but the future of her family and the monarchy itself.
