Summary
NYPD Alex x NYU Professor Henry Age Gap romance!
“You absolute idiot,” Alex said, stepping closer, crowding him against the counter. “You think I’ve been showing up at your door like some kind of glorified dick appointment for six weeks because I don’t like you?”Henry’s stomach twisted up. “I thought—”
But he didn’t get to finish. Alex kissed him, hard, like he’d been wanting to all night. Then again, softer, their lips sliding together in a way that was everything Henry had been desperate for and too terrified to admit. Alex’s hands were warm on his jaw, fingers brushing up into his hair, and for a moment all Henry could do was lean into him and feel everything, want, relief, terror, dizzy happiness, crash together at once.

Summary
Did Henry attend a college party of his own free will? No.
Well, did he agree to play 7 minutes in heaven with the lacrosse captain? Also no.
But, is the way Alex is shoving him up against a wall and teasing him at least moderately tolerable? Oh, much worse, it's his wettest dream.Bookmarked by BooksBeforeBed

Summary
The bottle pointed directly at Alex. There was no mistaking it, and Alex’s breath caught in his throat. His eyes widened and his heart raced, wondering what Henry would do. The guy obviously had something against him, after all this time spent teasing and pestering him.
Then suddenly, Henry was up on his knees and moving across the circle toward Alex.

A Year of Living by AnchoredArchangel

Summary
As far as big romantic gestures go, Alex isn’t sure it’s even possible to top standing on a global stage and practically declaring your love for someone on the tail end of a history-defining speech that will probably be printed in textbooks for years to come.
Never let it be said that Alex is a quitter though. He’s fully prepared to give it his best fucking shot.
Or: the epilogue - because the best part of the happy ending is getting to live in it.
