Here is Louisa Master's "Aether." It's the first book in her Elemental Men series. It was first published in the Fated Mates charity anthology (no changes have been made), which is where I originally read it (but since I remember none of, I reread it).
["“We’re mates, Perry.”
This morning a meth lab fell through my kitchen ceiling, I lost my job, and my car broke down, officially making today the worst day of my life. The last thing I need to deal with is a naked, green-haired man with a loose grip on reality.
Or is it just that reality isn’t what I think it is?"]
It took me a whillllle to remember this book. As I read it, tiny bits and pieces came back to me, but I was constantly surprised by things.
I remembered the lightning and the tree. I remembered the ode-to-sweatpants. I remembered the slang. I remembered the house and the bros (and the alcohol).
But now, I can read all of the elements getting their HEA...or you know....not, depending on how 'fixing Earth/people' goes.
Also...loooooved the subtle reference to Here Be Dragons.
