Summary
In the swinging 1950s, Tim Laughlin, a young teacher from New York, is working in Paris and struggling to make ends meet. Shy, self-conscious and clumsy, he almost literally stumbles into the local expat scene where he makes the acquaintance of several inspiring men. One of them, the unreachable and profoundly cynical Hawkins Fuller, becomes the object of his desire. Even though Tim is duly warned of this impossible character by his new friends, he is determined to get more out of Fuller than just polite interest.
This story mainly focuses on the rocky romance between Tim and Hawk, but it also features the lives of other men: drag queen Frankie Hines, journalist Marcus Gaines, his secret heartthrob, and William Lee, the affluent drug addict who has come to Paris to get over losing Eugene Allerton, the love of his life.
Lee and Allerton are characters from Guadagnino's magnificent movie Queer (2024, based on William S. Burroughs' eponymous novella), but even if you are not familiar with this canon, you can still follow the plot in my fic.

Summary
It’s 1994 when Tim Laughlin meets Hawkins Fuller for the first time… and they instantly end up in an argument. Over the following months, they keep running into each other, until they finally start something that falls apart just as quickly.
But they meet again. And again. And again. Until, inevitably, they begin a relationship, one that isn’t always easy, one that brings both heartbreak and joy, and one that only grows stronger through the years.

Summary
“So…” Marcus started. “He is… a man… and he is a brunette with blond highlights.”
Hawk almost dropped his coffee.
“Nice, so you basically got me a date with someone who will remind me of my ex. Thank you!”
OR
Marcus and Frankie decide to play matchmakers with Tim and Hawk and it (almost) goes well... or does it?
