Summary
Alex doesn’t like the office.
The job itself isn’t half bad, but it isn’t like he'd dreamed of doing this. His days consist of nothing but rushing out the door every morning after two bites of cereal with his tie haphazardly done, spending all day talking to middle aged men trying to argue with him about the finer details of desk stationery, fighting with his infuriating deskmate, and trying not to kill himself.
He doesn't like the office.
“Dunder Mifflin, this is Henry. How may I help you?”
Except. He likes the office sometimes, he supposes.

Or: ‘The Office’ AU in which Alex is Jim, Henry is Pam, and they fall in love over paper.

Summary
“Am I having a fucking stroke right now?” Alex asks after a series of rapid blinks, his ridiculous eyelashes drawing Henry’s attention, just like always.
Arthur stands up, “Not quite, though I appreciate this is rather unusual circumstances. It’s not everyday your partner’s…” he looks towards Henry for confirmation at that point.
“Husband’s” Henry corrects and Arhtur glances down at Alex's left hand and obviously spots his own wedding band resting there.
“Sorry, of course, Husband’s dead father turns up on the doorstep.”
“Right, so I wasn’t hallucinating… What the hell is going on, Hen?”
OR: a time traveler's wife au - henry is thirty-two and about to adopt a baby of his own when arthur appears in his hallway on a quiet friday night.

Summary
Single parent Alex has everything going for him - he's got a good job with the Okonjo House Shelter in New York. His son Frankie has just started school. And he has enough free time to take on some pro-bono cases with Luna & Westbrook.
Henry, single and not quite ready to mingle (thank you very much), crushes from afar until a baby is left with the Okonjo House Shelter. More precisely: with Henry. Who doesn't know much about babies, to be fair. Lucky for him, he knows a pretty competent single dad.
Navigating parenthood, self-discovery, and self-worth, can Alex and Henry find the same orbit?
===
Alex’s mornings start the same way now.
Once, in law school, it would have been: wake up, consume enough caffeine to fund a small country, get in a last minute cram, and maybe kiss his then-girlfriend goodbye to get in extra time in the library.
Priorities are different now.
----
Infants, Henry knows, have cries designed to make sure they are noticed because they need other humans to help the person who’s given birth. This is a thing that Henry knows, it’s something the shelter learned in getting qualified for him and Pez to qualify as a Safe Haven in New York.- Language:

Summary
"For Christmas this year, all I would like is a best friend who doesn’t mind too much that I’m a prince. Most of my classmates poke fun because of who I am, or treat me like I’m too special to be their friend. I want a best friend who knows me as much as my family does and still likes me. I know that you can’t wrap a best friend up in a box and put it under the tree, but you’re magic so you know the best way to bring one."
(Movieverse canon divergence; Prince Henry, age 8, writes to Father Christmas wishing for a best friend. A few weeks later, he finds one.)
