Summary: It starts the way a pornographic film might: one summer, cable installment technician Matt begins a torrid affair with Madeline, the disaffected widow of a pharmaceutical executive. It seems to be a perfect match – both of them volatile, both of them lost. But it isn’t long before Matt meets Madeline’s son, a reclusive and put-upon young man who is known by his few friends simply as “Techie.” As the bond with Madeline begins to deteriorate, Matt becomes increasingly fascinated with Techie, and Techie with him, and a relationship begins that is unlike any either of them has ever had.
Why this work is exceptional: The writing is A++. This is a very original story. It’s one of those that you read and think, damn, if the author were to replace the names, this would 100% be an original novel. I thought about these characters long after I finished reading.

Summary: If there is one person on board the Finalizer Techie cannot stand, it’s that Matt the radar technician.
That’s too bad for Matt, because he is desperately in love with Techie.
Why this work is exceptional: Matt struggles with certain urges in this one in ways I have not read in other works. His pining for Techie and the lengths he is willing to go to for him make this story especially memorable.

Summary: Techie and Matt are Star Wars fans who meet at a convention.
Why this work is exceptional: I laughed the entire way through, but at the same time, I really felt for these characters. For_autumn_i_am is an amazing writer and it’s so easy to sink into this story and live through these characters. Plus, Matt is a walking human disaster and it is amazing.

Summary: Matt’s dry spell has turned into more of a four-year drought. Fortunately, the answer comes in the form of anonymous sex. Unfortunately, Matt’s not so good at keeping things anonymous. Shameless filth with the barest hint of plot, tags will be added as we go.
Why this work is exceptional: True, there is a lot of porn. But I would say there is way more plot than the summary let’s on. The premise for this one is just so… weird. Good weird. Matt and Techie’s first meeting is very, very memorable.
Grey. Everything in Matt’s life is grey. His only purpose in life is fixing his dad’s old car, and even that isn’t going well. When he stumbles across a local bookstore though, he finds himself mesmerised by the man inside.
Oh! Hello, Millie,” said the man at the table. “Are you here to help me with my research?”
His voice was low and soft, his accent much less clipped than that of
his brother, almost musical in Matt’s ears. He watched as the cat
jumped up, purrs rumbling through the still air of the room as her ears
were scratched. She turned in a circle on the table before settling
down, curling into a loaf-like ball on the open pages of the book.
“Ah! The lesser known butt-reading technique! Truly you are a lady of
much skill.” The man giggled to himself, hair slipping from one
shoulder to reveal the line of his neck, inked in a swirling tattoo
surrounded by deep purple flowers. He stood, reaching out to move the
cat before seeming to reconsider. “I suppose you’re right. I do
need a break.”

Techie has lived a sheltered life since an accident took his eyes but revealed so much more. Techie was what was known as a Gifted, and though he had little control over his telekinesis, his brother feared for what others might do to him if they found out.
Techie wants more than to just sit behind his computer screens and watch the world outside through the security feeds at Armitage’s company. He wants to feel passion and companionship. He wants to fall in love, and he wants to master this curse that has caused him to hide away from the world.
When Techie comes up with a plan to seduce his brother’s lover and fellow Gifted, Kylo Ren, Techie doesn’t find what he’s looking for, but maybe he finds exactly what he needs in a blond-haired man who’s just as awkward as he is…and just as much in need of someone to light the spark inside of him.
