Summary
It’s over. It’s really over, and Henry doesn’t even think he’s worth a break-up text. Yet here Alex is sobbing on his bedroom floor, his face buried in a silk kimono with HOE DAMERON embroidered across the back.
What was it his dad had said to him in Texas, right before everything went to shit?
Sometimes you just jump and hope it’s not a cliff.
Well. Alex had jumped. He’d thrown himself head-first over the precipice, and discovered that it was, in fact, a cliff. A fucking big cliff, with big fucking rocks at the bottom.
---
Alex never finds Henry's note; he never goes to Kensington. Mutual heartbreak and pining ensues.Another 'what-if they-never-got back-together-after-Texas- fic.

Summary
It shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Dusty windows and bare oakwood floors, a kitchen tucked into the back wall. Stairs traveling up and out of sight. Bedrooms.
But Henry’s arms are around him, and it feels like it’s a spring afternoon in Brooklyn.
It feels-
Like Alex is moving in with his boyfriend, and they’ve got a home together now, and he’s starting to live for himself, not anybody else. It’s his heart spilling with the sun onto every surface, lighting the whole place up, making it sing, and-
Alex thinly avoids slamming the moving box onto the ground, but it doesn’t matter either way, because he’s taking Henry’s face in his hands and kissing him.
(or: the one where alex and henry make a life together.)

Summary
Alex squats down in front of her and takes her hands. He speaks in the slow, calm, yet mildly threatening tone of an experienced parent. “Sweetie, pick a pair of shoes. I don’t care if they’re snow boots. Just put them on so we can go.” He stands up and heads toward the doorway. “Your daddy’s gonna lose his damn mind if we don’t leave in the next two seconds,” he mutters.

Summary
For the second time that evening, a hand suddenly smacks his shoulder. Henry looks up, expecting Philip, but instead he is greeted with a smarmy smile. Henry’s stomach drops at the sight of the man who stands behind him.
“Christopher,” Philip laughs. His brother stands, and he and the man shake hands vigorously above Henry’s head. Henry wants to melt into his seat and disappear. “I’m so glad you could make it. Henry, you remember my mate, Christopher Lewis?”
Henry stares down at the intricately folded napkin in front of him.
Christopher Lewis: 2011 St Andrews graduate, excellent skier, wine aficionado. Seven years older than Henry. Green eyes. Nice shoulders.
Yes, Henry remembers Christopher Lewis. He wishes he didn’t.
After years of not seeing him, Henry runs into Philip's old friend again. Fallout ensues.

Summary
He found the note in Alex's wallet, he doesn't know why he kept it.
As Henry listened to the heart monitor and its steady beep, he had never regretted comparing him and Alex to Pyramus and Thisbe more than this very moment.
They both agreed to forever.
