Summary
Henry and Alex have been best friends since high school and maybe something more. (If either of them would actually do anything about it.) Enter Pez, who's had enough of watching his best mate pine.
Armed with charm, chaos, and a foolproof plan he's dubbed Operation: Claremont-Diaz Collapse, Pez is determined to get Henry into Alex's bed. Four steps. Zero shame. What could possibly go wrong?
"He doesn't flirt like that with anyone else," Pez went on. "He doesn't call me baby. He doesn't kiss my hair. He's not testing the water anymore-he's waist-deep, waiting for you to jump."
Henry's hands curled into fists against his knees.
"I don't know how."Pez didn't flinch. He smiled-slow and sharp, a cat with a canary. "Oh, sweet Hazza. Then buckle up.

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
Six months ago, Alex broke Henry’s heart silently, permanently, or so he thought.
Now Henry’s back in New York for one week. Just one. A training rotation. A hospital wing. A life he almost had.
He isn’t supposed to wander.
He isn’t supposed to find the oncology floor.
He isn’t supposed to find Alex thin, pale, sleeping in a bed with a wristband and a diagnosis no one deserves.
But he does. And everything changes.
Now Henry is no longer the doctor.
He’s the man who never stopped loving him.
And Alex (the man who tried to let him go) is still wearing the scars of that choice.
This is not a story of endings.
It’s a story of staying. Of softness. Of sleeping beside the person who still calls you *baby* even when they’re too weak to open their eyes.
Of whispered I love yous and second chances.
Of fighting like hell to come home.
Because Henry Fox was always his. And Alex? He was always, always Henry’s.
“You’re still mine,” *Henry whispered.
“Even after everything?”
“Especially after everything.”

Summary
Alex and Henry have been neighbors since they were eight and nine. From juice boxes and Batman costumes to sneaking in eachothers windows for sleepovers, their friendship weathers everything — loss, distance, growing pains, and the terrifying, beautiful truth of falling in love with your best friend.
This is a story of years gone by filled with movie nights that turn into love letters, of stargazing confessions and time capsules buried in backyards, of two boys who choose each other — again and again, through every version of themselves.
“I met my soulmate when I was eight years old,”
“And nothing, not an ocean, not time, not anything you’re afraid of, will ever make me let you go.”- Language:

Summary
When his birthday postcard arrives, Alex doesn't expect it to come with a letter from a stranger. And when he writes back, he certainly doesn't expect a reply.
But one letter turns to two, and then into dozens more. What begins as a mistake turns into something neither of them could have predicted. Something worth waiting for.
“I think I’ve been falling for you since you were just ink on paper.”
Or: the modern letter-writing AU.
