I think I know the first two lost fics!
Number one sounds a lot like "Strength" by lyricwritesprose, I dont remember anything about a broken hand though (https://archiveofourown.org/works/21893566)
Second one sound like "Eziraphael's Gifts: A History of Queer Faith and Longing, by Natasha Marie Johnson (Beacon Press, 2019)." by actualbat (https://archiveofourown.org/works/19858867)
Thank you, dear! (For Lost Fic #45)
Strength by lyricwritesprose (G)
While at Pride in London, running from his homophobic father, a boy named Ben Shander runs into someone who he's sure couldn't possibly help him.
Eziraphael’s Gifts: A History of Queer Faith and Longing, by Natasha Marie Johnson (Beacon Press, 2019). by actualbat (G)
"If Eziraphael has come to be known--in today's language--as the 'guardian angel of sad queers,' then it makes sense for him to have shown up more regularly in the past once that became a recognizable historical category."
Natasha is really glad that she's given this talk enough times to be able to do it on autopilot, because those two funny-looking men in the back just made the most absurdly astonished faces.
(Or: Not all historians ignore gay subtext, and not all immortal celestial beings have their shit together. Also, voodoo.)
