It's a Crime (to Fall in Love) by chamel for clottedcreamfudge
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
05 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
So, Henry’s life in Sandford is fine. Not demonstrably better or worse than his life in London, just different. And just boring enough that he catches himself hoping something interesting might happen.
As a police officer, he should have known better.
(When he's transferred to a new position in the country, Henry expects to be bored and miserable. He doesn't expect to find a gorgeous, vibrant American seemingly determined to drive him up the wall, nor does he expect to end up tracking a murderer—especially when all the clues seemingly point to the man he's helplessly falling in love with.)

Summary
He hates that Alex can see all the ugly parts of him now, knows how weak and stupid he is, instead of the strong and reliable friend he’s tried to be for the last five years, since Henry moved here and accidentally stole Alex’s favourite spot at their local coffee shop.
“I’m sorry…” Henry says eventually, when he can’t stand the silence for a moment longer. It’s maybe the longest he’s ever known Alex to voluntarily be quiet for, and by the five minute mark it’s unnerving him.
“Hey,” Alex replies, reaching over to curl his uninjured fingers around Henry’s wrist, pressing lightly against the pulse point there, “you’ve got nothing to apologise for. Not ever, but especially not this, alright?”

OR: The first time it happens is an accident, the second time Patrick is drunk and swears it'll never happen again. The third time, Alex breaks his nose.

Summary
Outsidethefox: Ah, is this your first time here? Welcome to Grindr, where the dick pictures are plentiful and unwanted, and the spelling and grammar are generally atrocious.
AC/DC: it’s true, i’m a grindr virgin, i’ve mostly dated girls before and y'all are… wild here.
Outsidethefox: It is certainly an experience. I have only signed in once before myself, but so far the second time seems to be much of the same.
Outsidethefox: With the exception of this conversion of course.

OR: Alex waits until he’s been living in England for an entire week before he finally downloads Grindr.

Summary
As it turns out, distance doesn’t always make the heart grow fonder.
But this. This is worse than realizing he hasn’t missed English food.
~
Henry likes spicy food. If only he didn’t come to this conclusion at the worst possible time - much to Alex's entertainment.

Summary
The next morning, Alex told his parents goodbye and Henry drove him to the airport, both of them sleep-deprived and solemn. Henry hugged him in the shadow of the Delta help desk and kissed Alex’s lips like Alex was his fucking oxygen, the only thing keeping him breathing. Alex was still hoping, reeling as he stared down the path in front of him that didn’t include Henry.
It didn’t feel right, pressing his mouth to Henry’s and wondering if it might be the last time.
Even on the other side of security, with his bag slung over his shoulder, Alex looked back.
Henry was walking away, toward the giant glass doors, his head hung and his hands in his pockets. Alex watched him go, letting the tears fall from his eyes as Henry disappeared. His heart ripped from his chest as he took the most painful breath he’s ever taken in his life, because Henry was Alex’s oxygen, the only thing keeping him breathing.
But Henry let him go.
Henry didn’t ask him to stay.
So Alex left.

Summary
“That’s when Alex sees him.
He’s seated at the edge of the pool, legs dangling in the warm water of the shallow end. There’s another man standing in the pool, with his face pressed to the spot where long limbs meet tiny waist. Honestly though, that’s not what gets Alex’s attention—he’s far from the only person in Alex’s line of sight having his cock sucked.
But he’s certainly the prettiest.”
Or, Alex meets Henry on Fire Island.

Summary
“Your love for me,” Henry says, “and your devotion to our marriage, are here.”
He presses his own hand, and Alex’s where he’s still holding it, to the center of Alex’s warm chest, applies gentle pressure until he can feel the beat of Alex’s heart beneath the skin and muscle and bone that make up the framework of his favorite person in the universe.
“Not in a piece of metal, Alex, no matter how sentimental it may be,” Henry says softly. “Just here.”

Have I Been Good Enough (To Ask For Your Love)? by anincompletelist (soldouthaz)
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
20 Dec 2024

Summary
The last three years have been nothing short of perfect. Alex has a dream, a plan, and the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, all finally right within his reach. Things are easy, these days. He’s trying not to get so caught up in the finer details.
Like the fact that he hasn’t met his soon-to-be fiance’s family yet. Or the fact that everyone seems to act really odd around his grandmother. Or the fact that Henry’s not actually out to his family yet, and neglects to tell him this until they’re already off the plane and nearly to their house.
But it’s only four days, so it's fine. It's all fine.
Probably.

Summary
Alex traces the invisible line of Orion's belt with his gaze when Henry says it's his favorite, feeling the awe and wonder seeping into him from the place where his shoulder touches Henry's arm.
There is a flash of light across the sky, quick and bright, and Arthur gasps, pointing excitedly.
“Make a wish, boys,” he urges, his eyes closing like he might be taking his own advice.
Alex lets his eyes drift shut, the back of his knuckles brushing the side of Henry's hand as he takes a breath and wishes for the only thing he can think of, the only thing he wants right now.
He wishes for Henry, for friendship.
For forever.
And that's where their story starts.

Alex scrunches his brows. “That is really fucking unfair. You know that I'm not intentio–”
The sound of a small creak comes from the bedroom door. Both Alex and Henry turn their heads to see where the sound is coming from.
A hand is clutching the door. A pair of big, brown eyes and a small head of curly hair are peeking from behind.

Summary
The blonde man in the James Bond suit sidles up next to Alex.
“Hello,” the man says politely, plucking a cup from the table. And, holy shit, he’s British.
“Listen, man,” Alex begins. “If you’re about to ask me for something shaken, not stirred, I’m gonna give you a fucking wedgie.”
Wannabe James Bond furrows his eyebrows in confusion. He looks adorable. Alex bites on his tongue to keep from doing something embarrassing, like squealing.
“Pardon me?”

Summary
This is a regular thing for them. Every time Alex opens a new carton of milk, he proposes to Henry with the little plastic ring. The first time he did it, Henry almost went into shock before he realised Alex wasn’t holding an actual ring. By the fifth time, Henry knew that he wanted this to be real.

Summary
The entire world has it on video. Alex stumbling forward, straight into Henry’s shoulder, knocking him back into the table and then crumbling to the ground, the cake falling on top of them. Everyone thinks Alex was drunk, or that he hates him, or that he’s immature or unfit for his title, but none of it’s the truth. Everyone’s acting like it’s the end of the world regardless.
And maybe, for Alex, it kind of is.

Summary
Since then, Henry’s lukewarm indifference tilts toward cold more often than not. It’s better that way, though, because now Alex can convince himself that he deserves the harsh treatment. He still doesn’t like it, but at least he can better rationalize Henry’s behavior now.
And that’s how it goes, with neither of them liking the other but refusing to let their mutual antagonism impact their work. They can be cordial when they need to be to get shit done, for the kids.
Alex always tries to put the shelter above his feelings—it’s infinitely more important than halfhearted friction with someone else who, admittedly, is doing a lot of good for the people who frequent it.
If Henry doesn’t care, he at least does a good job of faking it.
But still, Henry volunteering to put on a pumpkin head and corresponding costume is… unexpected.
It’s why Alex can’t look away.

Summary
The people who know Alex best, know three undeniable facts about him.
One, if left unattended, he can go days on end without consuming anything other than coffee and granola bars.
Two, he has a secret Instagram where he documents the best - and usually worst - coffees in the city. Starbucks is currently at the bottom of the list, fuck Starbucks man.
Three, he is slightly maybe crazily in love with the guy he fucks on a near daily basis.

Summary
Henry grabs the conditioner and massages it quickly into Alex’s hair while Alex huffs and instructs him to go slower. Henry yanks his hair in response. An embarrassing little groan flows out of Alex’s throat.
“No,” Henry scolds, tilting Alex’s head back into the spray.
“C’mon baby, that was hot,” Alex whines.
“If we don’t get out of this shower soon, I’m gonna eat you,” Henry says simply.
“Don’t threaten me with a good time,” Alex smirks.
