Stars, Skies, and Saturdays - Chapters 16 and 17 (NOW COMPLETE!!!)
Red, White, and Royal Blue | Rated E | Single Dads Alex & Henry | Fluffy Vibes and Happy Endings
Alex has the whole Cool Papi thing down. Sure, his son was bullied out of his old school just for wearing bright colors and nail polish. But Pablo's back to his usual, confident self, and Alex has found a way to balance home schooling with running his cafe. There's just two little tiny problems...
1) Alex is terrified about what'll happen when Pablo starts High School in the fall. So terrified he's gone to fuckin' Reddit for help.
2) He's just met Henry, a stupidly hot, incredibly smart, and genuinely kind single dad, and his daughter Emma.
Pablo and Emma become fast friends, and Alex feels immediately drawn to the Henry. But when a surprising past connection comes to light, Alex and Henry will have to find a way to nurture their blossoming romance while helping their kids adjust to big changes.

This story started as an outline for a 5k one-shot. And while I overshot that by 115,000 words, I couldn't be more proud of what it became. To all the endlessly wonderful and incredibly brave trans, non-binary, and genderqueer friends who inspired this story, I love you, I see you, and thank you.
Also a huge thank you to @jackzimmermemes, @exitariel000, and KnowledgeIsCake for beta-reading this and making it far better than I hoped it could be. Your wise words and giddy screeching helped me more than you know.
Finally, thank you to the people below for not murdering me for tagging them twice a week since the beginning of April. (Please feel free to ignore this as always)
