Summary
Henry Fox has given up on love. He has no desire to be in a relationship, and he doesn't miss it at all, except the times his house is so quiet the wind outside seems to echo. Or when he sits down to eat dinner in silence aside from David’s whimpering at his feet. Maybe when he crawls in a king-sized bed at night, with only a beagle to take up the rest of the space. But that's fine, all of it, he is more than capable of being by himself- in the vast emptiness that was a rural Texas night. He doesn't need anyone, certainly not Alex Claremont-Diaz and his insistence that he knows how to keep hookups casual.
-------
So, this fic was born out of seeing a tweet about following someone around in a club all night because they said to, and someone requesting I write a very dom Henry vibe along with some puppy Alex vibe. Enjoy?Bookmarked by Calypso6

Summary
"Prince Henry been a source of unending irritation for years now, each messenger coming from his shores bringing only snide remarks and outright condescension. The frustration that had festered in Alexander’s heart for so long is now strong enough to make him want to strangle this most vital partner as soon as he sees him.
It hadn’t always been like this. When they had both still been barely more than children, tasked with the royal responsibilities of adults for the first time, Henry had been his closest friend."

Amongst the Orange Trees by luainthewild

Summary
June 2023, Italy.
Amongst the orange trees, Henry slowly finds his writer’s soul again. He has been feeling lonely for a while, meaninglessly pursuing a degree that was picked for him, shutting himself away from who he really is and what he really wants. In Pez’s family house on the Amalfi coast, time slows and he can breathe again. Yet, he still feels like something is missing to make him feel complete.
Alex has run away. Asphyxiated by the pressure he has put on himself for years, running without a destination until his legs give way under the unbearable heaviness of his own expectations, he suddenly realizes that he doesn’t know who he is or why he is doing it all. He tries to find solace in the forms of salt water drying on his skin and endless blue washing away the harsh colors of the city. Yet, he still feels like something is missing to make him feel complete.
As dawn washes ancient stones in a golden hue, two boys meet amongst the statues. As dusk sets on the cerulean sea, Alex and Henry find their way to each other’s souls.

to hold the hand of the man who flies too close to the sun by Mia_Zeklos
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue (2023)
11 May 2025

Summary
“Well,” he gestures with the book still clutched in his hand, its existence and plot enough of an explanation. “Way to ruin your protagonist’s life. Just when I thought he and Helios were getting somewhere.”
Henry groans, which is rude enough to startle him out of the rant that he’d prepared for G. E. James when he’d still been only an abstract concept. The dissonance of it all is brutal – the realisation that as long as they’re talking about the book and not about their past, he’d just been talking to his new favourite author rather than the prince of England.
(Over a year after the fiasco that had been Alex's attempt to get Henry to believe in a future together, they meet again, quite by chance.)

Summary
Alex downs his drink and orders another quickly. He’s early. He spent the afternoon in a four hour meeting and then his boss told him to go home and that he could finish the paperwork tomorrow. Which isn’t weird or new, but Alex sort of wishes he had an excuse not to be here.
It’s just that his mom asked. And he’s never been able to say no to her. Even when he doesn’t fucking understand her choices.
She’d never been to England, and yet she ended up with a British soulmate.

Summary
“I think it should be a thousand kisses.”
Pez gasps, eyes wide with delight as he places a hand over his heart. “A thousand?”
Alex’s throat is dry. “A thousand.”
“Now?” Henry looks terrified. “Or…”
“Within…” Nora glances at June, and Alex is abso-fucking-lutely going to give her shit for her acting later. “A month?”
June nods in agreement. “I think that sounds reasonable.”
Nora clicks her tongue. “If we go by 31 days, that’s 32.26 kisses per day. I think it’s doable, but still a challenge. Perfect for the game.”
“I’ve never experienced a dare that goes outside of the typical gaming period,” Henry says, his shoulder bumping into Alex’s as he curls a knee up to his chest. “How would we even keep track of such a thing?”
Nora directs a devilish, sideways grin at Alex, and the realization hits him like a goddamn freight train.
Henry didn’t say no.

Summary
The psychic looked up, gaze sharpened. “Oh? Boyfriend, is it? Well, if I were you, I would expedite those travel plans.”
“Why?” Alex asked, a mild unease developing in his body.
And then, Madame Esmeralda said the words which would go on to haunt Alex every moment of the next few months. “Because the cards say that you will no longer have a boyfriend in six months.”

Summary
There's a knock at the door, which is a welcome alternative to staring wistfully out the window at the mostly green field of grass behind the school, wishing he could feel the sun’s warmth beating down on his face and arms. Instead, Alex is resigned to another day of being stuck inside the school, knowing he won’t be able to enjoy the fresh air until hours after the bell rings.
The man at his door is his colleague, Henry Fox, holding a glorious cup of coffee up in the air with one perfectly-shaped eyebrow raised, silently inquiring if he was interested. As if Henry didn’t know he was desperate and would obviously be accepting the necessary caffeinated offering.
or - Alex and Henry are both teachers, stuck strictly in the friend zone. Nora helps!

A sudden break-up, a public fight in a crowded bar, a redemption arch, a cheating accusation, panic attacks, blackmail, a misunderstanding, getting back together, so much love, a journal with heartbreaking one liners and a bunch of post-angst fluff.
Or
Henry leaves for work late because Alex refused to stop cuddling him. He's excited for the date night he was promised, but instead of coming home to the same loving touches that made him late that morning, he comes home to an angry Alex packing his bags.Series

He's trying to catch a plane from NYC to LA for June's big movie premiere, but everything is going wrong. When he finally boards a plane, his inflight entertainment unit is broken. Which would be fine, if it weren't for the rude stranger seated next to him.

Summary
And Henry does agree that it'll probably be beneficial for him. He's tired of feeling stuck inside his self-made prison and frustrated that running halfway across the world from his suffocating family didn't magically remove all of his woes.
So he'll run. He'll give it his best shot.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be an enlightening experience.
But Henry doubts it. By the look on his face, David is feeling rather pessimistic about it, too.
But Henry promised he would try, and he keeps his promises. Putting one foot in front of the other when each step feels heavy is something he's already good at.
He may as well try to pick up the pace.

Summary
“Henry!” Alex yells and catches Henry’s wrist, stopping him from taking any more steps.
Henry turns back around and lets his eyes drop to where Alex’s fingers round against his pulse point.
“I’m sorry—,” Alex says as he lets go of the wrist. “I’m sorry I snapped.” Alex continues as he starts to pace left to right. “I know y’all are best friends, and I know she loves you and always wants you around. That’s why it’s weird to me that she didn’t tell you her plans.”
He pauses his pacing and pushes one hand through his already unruly curls before he continues. “I just have this gut feeling that something is wrong, that she's gone in some way, and I—" Alex lets out a deep breath as he lifts his stiff shoulders and looks down at the sidewalk. He murmurs, "I don't do well when people leave."
A stillness falls between them, and Alex's heart begins to rush, fearing that Henry will simply turn around and walk away.
“Let’s go find her,” Henry answers.
Or: In a world full of magic, it's easy to stop believing in it.

Summary
"It was your fucking fault! If you weren't such a homophobic piece of shit, he'd be okay!"
Alex yelled at Philip, almost into his face. He was scared and angry and he knew exactly who to blame. But since she wasn't there, he chose the one person closest to her.
"Alex, calm down, please."
Said June, placing her hand on his shoulder. He shook it off and turned to her briefly.
"I won't fucking calm down!"
He looked back at Philip, who despite years of training, showed fear in his eyes.
"You were supposed- He- He's going to fucking die and it's all your fucking fault!"
