Summary
You're hired at the local church, and you definitely don't have the hots for the pastor, but when there's strange disappearances around the county and your headaches keep getting worse, it's nice to have a comforting presence around during those long working hours.
Even if he has secrets that seem dangerous enough to kill.
Even if his kindness sometimes seems like a façade for something much darker lurking beneath that easygoing expression.
Or, workplace romcom, Mandela Catalogue edition <3Reader is written to be a trans man, so there's going to be ample depiction of that.

"You try to pick yourself out of the pieces of nightmares, unfinished dreams hissing and bubbling in the back of your head, words in a voice distorted and malicious.
‘I am your true savior.’ It says, and it almost sounds sweet." -

"Semantics." Comes his reply.
You laugh, but his face remains placid.OR
In which the world went quite a different direction, and alternates ingratiated themselves with the DNA of most life.
In which the line between a demonic entity and something holy is very, very blurred.

You're a fresh faced journalist in the big city, and have just landed an interveiw with the elusive Gabriel Starr, leader of what is colloquially known as the 'Mandella Cult' A group that has spread like a virus throughout the country, famed for radically changing it's members into almost new people (wink wink, nudge nudge). Throughout extended interactions with this man, you try to uncover what exactly his Cult. Sorry. Church is all about, and try ever so helplessly to not get tangled in his web.
OR
Journalist reader/cult leader Gabriel, because I CAN :]]]]]]
The rating WILL go up, it's just currently set to mature as there isn't any directly explicit content (yet)
---"And the rumors of... illegal activities?" you ask, falling back on the questions that were given to you by your boss, the head of your column, Dave Lee.
"Merely rumors," he looks disappointed. Like he expected better of you. You grit your teeth.

Summary
Whatever happened here was bad. Irrevocably, inexplicably, inarticulably bad in a way that the most basal parts of his being wants nothing more than to escape from. But Grace can't turn away.
After encountering what appears to be a last hoo-ra emergency mission attempt from Earth caught up in the Hail Mary's wake, Grace and Rocky discover a single, severely injured human being quite literally encased in what Grace can only describe as a crime scene. A horror movie. And when he wakes up? He's mad. Really mad. Talking to the walls mad. Now they have to figure out just where he came from and why. Things are further complicated when all the newcomer (Simon, they learn) can talk about is missing planets, haunted oceans, and non-existent space stations. That and the really weird data they've been picking up on.
Maybe part of solving that is, much to Rocky's enthusiasm; both Grace and Simon slowly realizing how lonely they are.Series

“…You want me to get close to them,” Gerard says, slowly.
“In a manner of speaking,” Gertrude replies.
Gerard pauses, considering her words. It takes him a minute to even begin to formulate a response but he manages. Incredulously, he asks, “Are you telling me you want me to try and seduce the Distortion?”
