Summary
Alex ungraciously flops down onto the bed, propped on his elbow, Henry’s left calf outstretched beneath his armpit. “Do I need to ask again, cariño?”
Henry blinks, but keeps playing the guitar quietly. He likes for his hands to remain occupied. It’s a convenient, distracting focus point for when your crush lays across your legs, looks up at you with the longest eyelashes you’ve ever seen, and calls you sweetheart using one of the fucking romance languages. “Hm?”
Or – the childhood-friends-to-lovers AU inspired by “This Song” by Conan Gray.

Summary
Of all the things they’ve been to one another—sometimes-rivals, reluctant allies, tediously cordial seatmates at international events—Henry never thought that he and Alex would end up being something like friends.
(In which Alex sort of moves in and they don't talk about what it means.)

Summary
There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.
It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.
But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.
Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Summary
Alex went to the gay bar with June and Nora on a Thursday night and walked out with the blond smokeshow he’d been exchanging heated glances with for hours.
His name was Henry, and his hands were on Alex and under his coat as soon as they walked through the front entry of his beautiful, enormous fucking brownstone. Alex would circle back to that later.
Henry swiftly divested him of two and a half layers as Alex gripped him by the elbows, just trying to hold on. Eyes slipping shut on an appreciative groan, Alex swayed forward to capture Henry’s mouth with his own.
A firm palm at the center of his chest stopped him halfway there.
Alex blinked to find steady blue eyes staring back at him.
“No kissing, if you don’t mind,” Henry said coolly.
AU. Alex and Henry are friends with benefits. Henry has a rule about kissing.
