    Summary

    Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Whatever is inescapable. In the worst way possible. He’s always fucking there. Alex turns up for his shift and Henry is there behind the coffee machine, apron tied around his waist and stupid, tight white T-shirt clinging to his biceps. Alex turns up for open-mic night at the cafe and there he is again, reading his fucking poetry. Alex goes to the grocery store, or the bookshop, or the fucking campus library, and who does he see? Henry. Always Henry.

    Always Henry, always with a different guy.

    ***

    Alex hates Henry. He's only letting Henry and his stupid long limbs and his overly symmetrical face stay on his couch because he has to, because 'tis the season not to be a massive dick, because it's Christmas. Isn't he?

    "Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits."
    - William Shakespeare, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act I, scene 1

    -

    They don’t do this all the time—they’re roommates, after all, not boyfriends—and the last time was a few months ago, but somehow Bucky still knows all the places that make Steve gasp.

    -

    Or, five times Steve and Bucky weren't married, but sort of were, and the time they figure it out.

    Summary

    Shit.
    She hadn't noticed him yet. Maybe he could turn and leave without them noticing – Sam would understand. Sam was the most empathetic person he knew. He wouldn’t scold Steve for coming home spice-less to avoid an awkward encounter with an ex. Surely.
    They drew closer.
    Fuck.
    Please don't notice me, please don't notice me, please don't notice me...
    "Steve?"
    Fuck.
     
    In which Steve is saved from his ex in a grocery store, Bucky Barnes is Way Too Chill about absolutely everything, and Sam has had enough of all of these goddamn pineapples in his fucking house.

    Summary

    So do I remind you of someone you've never met, a lonely silhouette? And do I remind you of somewhere you want to be, so far out of reach? I wish you'd open up for me, 'cause I want to know you ... amaryllis bloom.
    //
    In 19th century Europe, Bucky and Steve are members of neighboring royal families. Steve is the heir to a throne he does not want, and Bucky is the neglected third child waiting to be married off and forgotten about. Trapped in unhappy lives by seemingly immovable circumstances, they find a way out in each other.
