Summary
Two neighbors, by accident, become more than just friends. This is a story of art, food, wine, all the things Paris is known for; but it's also a love story, a story that could take place anywhere, a story as old as humanity itself.
-----
Paris is a romantic city. Perhaps that's what makes it so difficult for Arthur to live here, despite the abundant amenities and London just a few hours away. Everything's overwrought, all friezes and corbels, buildings curling in on themselves and dripping with adornment, as if aching to be admired. The people are no different, rarely alone, moving just so to allow their hair or eyes to catch the light, each piece of clothing tailored to perfection.
Arthur appreciates it; if he didn't, he would have left for certain, career notwithstanding. He appreciates beauty, after all, and taste. But among the people of Paris, he can't help but feel like a sewer rat scurrying to and fro under a cloud of thick eyebrow. He feels it when he snaps out orders over text as the French talk and laugh in line for croissants.

Summary
Brother.
Arthur never knew he could feel a flush of pride thinking the word.
Elder brothers had made him miserable, both in deed and by association. He wouldn't be surprised if half the ridiculous litter were dead in gutters by now, and he wasn't keen to find out. Big brothers were trouble. Big brothers. Not worth having.
Younger brothers, though....

Historical AU. Arthur Kirkland is a peasant who works for a psychopath and lives next door to the most irksome neighbors imaginable: Francis, who insists on inserting himself into everyone's life, and the Beilschmidts, who seem to scrape by on volume, grit, and alcohol. Meanwhile, Alfred Jones is an up-and-coming member of the nobility, prepared to take on the world. But when Alfred's lineage is called into question, Arthur suddenly finds himself the guardian of an unknown teenage half-brother...and realizes perhaps this was the part of him that's been missing, all along.
