Summary
Henry stares at the clock, willing it to move faster. He squints his eyes, as if he has super powers, and thinks, you will move faster. But the second hand ticks once to the left, and the hour and minute hands barely move if at all. He shifts his chin, glares at it. Nothing. Sighing, he flops back on his pillow and stares up at the ceiling.
This was the absolute dumbest idea. Nevermind that it had been his. That little detail was not of import.
The ceiling is ornate, as one would expect from the illustrious hotel they’re staying in. Bloody grand, is what it is. Too much, he’d said, we don’t need all that . But Percy and Bea had dismissed him, and now he’s here. Staring at the ornate ceiling, unable to sleep, despite desperately wishing he could just sleep the next twelve hours away so that he could be standing in front of Alex again.
He rolls over on his side, stares at the bathroom door; also needlessly fancy. He’s spent his life living in palaces, and even he’s looking at this place thinking, that’s a bit much, yeah?

Or, it's the night before Alex and Henry's wedding.Bookmarked by Insteadofsleeping

Summary
Alex supposes this is his own fault.
He’s had months to say something. Months to stop being a coward and change their circumstances—even if it meant letting go of the idea of what they could be if Henry doesn’t feel the same. Though, the idea of that is probably what’s kept him silent. No longer falling into bed with Henry, his skin beneath Alex’s fingertips, his lips; heart to heart as they lie in the aftermath.
He’d been under the—wrong—presumption that losing Henry entirely is the worst case scenario.
--
Or, Alex and Henry are idiots (what else is new?)

Summary
Henry’s distracted when he answers the regularly scheduled biweekly call with his best friend. He’s got an airpod in one ear that he uses to answer the call, and doesn’t even wait for Pez to start talking before he’s venting about his roommate. “I am so tired of being in love with him, Pez,” He says, crawling under his desk and reaching for the pencil he dropped. “He’s so bloody beautiful and kind and today, he made me breakfast. He did research, Pez. Research!” He snags the pencil from the furthest depths beneath his desk and crawls out from beneath it, nearly hitting his head on the way out.
“An entire english spread. Bloody bastard. He does all this shite for me and I’m just supposed to not fall in love with him?” He shakes his head as he crawls into his chair, mournfully turning his gaze to the ceiling. “It’s bad enough that he’s so bloody beautiful. How am I meant to cope? I fear I can’t keep doing this.”
--
Or, Henry's just really dumb sometimes.

Summary
"Sighing happily, Alex focuses on the feeling of Henry’s arm around his back. The tips of Henry’s fingers are brushing featherlight up and down his spine, and Alex can feel goosebumps rising on the flesh in their wake. It’s so fucking tranquil that Alex is pretty sure he could die right now and be perfectly content with his life, except –
'We should get married.'
'Pardon?'
Oh. Fuck.
He said that out loud."

slow, steady and a little unusual by softlightwood

Summary
After a few silent moments of Alec glumly clinging to Isabelle's huge, fluffy pink pillow and sighing intermittently, she puts down the nail polish and stands to straddle the back of her chair, angled towards the bed. "What happened?"
Alec, the most dramatic Lightwood to ever exist in the history of their family tree, sighs again. "What makes you think something happened?"
Isabelle makes a vague gesture at his sad, mopey face and general demeanour. Alec, oddly, turns a shade very similar to the pillow. With a final sigh, he says "I fell down the stairs".
Isabelle blinks slowly.
"He kissed me, and i- i fell. Down the stairs"

Summary
Amy Curtis March. Laurie had to admit, he hadn’t given much thought to the youngest March sibling in many years. While he’d vaguely known she was still in Paris, he’d last laid eyes on the youngest March almost half a decade ago (and oh, how much she’d grown).
Or: Laurie moves to Paris, is reluctantly cajoled into a blind date, and it, surprisingly enough, changes his life.

Summary
“And how is married life suiting you, my dears?” Jo inquires in an affected, elder sisterly tone when they’re visiting one day, patting Amy’s leg where she sits by her side and twinkling at Laurie lounging loose-limbed on the adjacent sofa like the boy he is no longer.
“ ‘Tis a plague and a burden, but I endure it as I must,” Laurie sighs, resting the back of his hand upon his forehead.
Amy pinches her lips together to hide the smile she knows he’s after — if she makes him work for it, he will appreciate it more when it comes.
“We get along quite well together,” Amy says calmly.

It’s just a marriage of convenience…
Or is it? (Hint: no. No it is not.)
Aka the smutfic where Laurie proposes to Amy before Fred does, says he can take care of her and her family, which she takes to mean he’s proposing to her just ‘cause he can’t have Jo and wants to make sure her and her family are taken care of because he does genuinely care for them all.
