The Menace of Buckingham by abc_efghij_lmnopqr_tuvwxyz

Summary
Then she says, with all the subtlety of a brick: “There is the issue of children.”
And oh, here we go.
Alex sits down without being asked. “I am doing my very best to put a baby in your grandson. Truly. But the issue remains, he doesn’t have a uterus.”
“INSOLENCE.”
“He also doesn’t ovulate,” Alex adds cheerfully. “Real shame.”
Queen Mary turns an actual color. It’s sort of violet. The color of wrath and sugar plums.Series

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.

Summary
Something was wrong. Now that Harrington was marginally calmer, the reek of fear and panic had faded, but a rising, acidic note of pain had taken its place. It tugged at something deep in Billy’s gut, made his skin crawl with the instinctive urge to bundle Harrington up and hide him somewhere safe, where no one could find them, where they could—
Billy nearly swerved off the goddamn road. “Are — holy shit, Harrington, are you in heat?”

And then Henry snapped his hips forward, deep and precise, pressing down on Alex’s belly again at the same time. The stimulation hit everywhere.
Alex saw himself fall apart in 4K.

Summary
“Henry’s been taken.”
It takes a moment for the words to register.
Takes two, actually.
Because at first—they don’t quite hit as a real statement. The words are there but his mind jumbles them around and centers on Henry and then slowly, the following words come into play. They ebb in like a wave settling on shore.
His hands fall to his sides.
“What,” he says, swallowing, “Do you mean taken?”

A Love That Haunts the Land by 14carrotgold

Summary
The more time he spends with Alex, the more quirks he notices.
A touch that feels unusually scaly for a half-second, fluctuating eye color and pupils, iridescence that can't be explained away by a trick of the light, twitching whiskers. A flash of a fang, a claw, a talon.
Henry falls head first anyway.

Or, falling in love is the easy part. The supernatural consequences - not so much. (Complete and updating daily)

Summary
"I could go home, and you could stick to eating Thumper instead of the locals?”
“Nah, Harrington.” Billy's tongue clicks against his teeth, disappointed. “You never make a bargain before? You want something, you have to give me something in return.” His hand reaches out, still laden in heavy silver rings, just missing all the jewels of a proper, courtly king. He drags at Steve’s lower lip with his thumb in a move that feels condescending, but Steve can’t bring himself to pull away.
“I don’t understand.”
“If you want to make a deal, you need to give me something I want.” He says it slow, voice gravel and smoke. “And I only want one thing you could give me. Your devotion.”
Or, Steve goes into the Upside Down looking for a monster. He's not expecting the one he finds.

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom: Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
07 Dec 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Summary
August, 1890. South Texas bounty hunter, Alex Claremont-Diaz has just received the most lucrative lead of his career: all he's gotta do is track down an English prince who's run off and left behind a jilted fiancée, and he'll be set for the rest of his life. Ain’t the first time Alex has been sent after a feller who’s gotten cold feet. And $25,000 for a royal runaway groom? Should be easy money.

Summary
The idea was a terrifying one—that he had lost time, lost his own body, and that The Lab probably had something, if not everything, to do with it. At least Steve had faced strange enough shit to have hope that this was fixable. Just another clandestine operation gone wrong in the sunny paranatural hellscape that was Hawkins, Indiana.
He just needed to "be" Billy Hargrove until he could get to school and find him — hopefully in Steve’s body, which wasn't exactly comforting that somehow that psychotic asshole being in his body had suddenly become the best case scenario. But still, that was the only plan Steve seemed to have right now, so he’ll do it. He’d be Billy Hargrove.
How hard could that be?

Summary
“Come on, angel,” he takes a step forward, staring up at Henry with a smirk. He knows that if they had any need for oxygen, Henry’s chest would be heaving. “You know you want to.”
“Wanting it isn’t the question,” Henry says tightly, only the slightest sliver of blue still visible in his eyes. “We can’t.”
Alex knows he has him, knows that it’s only moments until he finally gets what he wants. What he’s always fucking wanted. He just needs to push.
“Oh but we can,” Alex’s tongue darts out to wet his lips and he watches in glee as Henry’s eyes drop to capture the motion. “You want me. Come get me.”
Alex has hated Henry for a lifetime - but he's wanted to fuck him for twice as long.

Summary
The first few times are an accident —no matter how many times Pez insists that it’s not.
It’s not Henry’s fault that he’s never really had to cook for himself. After years of watching his father cook for him as a child, Henry had wrongfully imagined that the matter would be quite easy— when it was, in fact, not.
Proven by the fire brigade bursting down his door every now and then.
—
In which Henry is trying to learn how to cook, and every terrible attempt amuses the sexy firefighter who saves him from burning down the entire building very much.

Summary
“Hey, man. Can I get a black coffee to go?”
“Er…” he says – a faintly bewildered expression on his face. “Yes, I imagine so.”
Turns out the guy is also British, which is like, whatever. Alex gives him one of his best smiles. “Great, thanks.”
Hot Barista glances vaguely around himself, then back to Alex. He looks simultaneously surprised and uncertain, like some kind of aggressively handsome time-traveller who’s been unexpectedly yeeted into a different century. After a beat, he says – “From me?”
“Uh yeah. You’re working here, right?”
“Well... yes?”
Alex tries very hard not to sigh.
Great. Looks like he’s dealing with one of those people who are so attractive, they’ve never had the need to develop any kind of personality beyond that of a Tupperware container of room-temperature potato salad.
Alex absolutely does not have time for whatever this shit is.***
Five times Henry serves Alex coffee and one time Alex serves Henry.
Strap in, folks. It's a coffee shop AU ...Kind of.

Summary
A part of Henry had always assumed he would die within the walls of the library.
It's a statistically sound assumption. He spends most of his waking hours here. He puts too much trust in the wobbly tables he stands on to hang decorations. He dares to use the ancient elevator that screeches and groans during its slow, perilous journey between floors. He often volunteers to go into the boiler room and bang on the unit so it starts up again. And out of pure obligatory politeness, he eats the godawful cookies Janice leaves in the staff break room on Fridays. Obviously, it will be one of these ill-advised choices that causes his untimely death.
Then he walks in.

Summary
Alex blinks and rolls that pretty painted face around his head to figure out where he recognizes it. Like a lightbulb sparking on, a memory of a dirt-covered boy holding a lightsaber too long for his skinny arms flashes through his mind. A bitter taste fills Alex’s mouth. He’s standing face to face with Henry Fox, the apparent Senator of Naboo. More importantly, the man he stole millions of credits worth of Kyber crystals from.
Joy.
--
Rebel smuggler Alex is caught by his nemesis, Alderaan Senator Jeffery Richards. His prompt assassination is put on hold when Richard’s bounty hunter reels in a bigger fish; Senator Henry Fox of Naboo. Turns out, Alex has more than one rival on board the ship, but he’s going to need to work with Henry if they don’t want to get killed.

Summary
When he rounds the corner towards their open kitchen, Alex freezes, letting loose a small squeak. His boyfriend, the love of his life and other half, is currently leaning over the sink, ass popped out and lower back exposed.
Henry is wearing a crop top. Like an actual fucking, frayed at the edges, exposed stomach crop top, and Alex promptly forgets how to function. His lips are parted, his mouth growing dry, and he just stares.

or, Henry shows some skin and Alex loses his mind
