    Summary

    Alex came to Oxford to fulfill a childhood dream of seeing England and to fulfill his International Law Requirement.
    Henry came to Oxford to forget his past and develop as a person, more than what the Crown had wanted and more than what the public wanted.
    Neither intended to meet. Neither intended to fall in love.

    Summary

    As soon as Alex sits down – this might be the most comfortable chair he’s ever sat in in his life – Henry asks, “so, Alex, what made you want to become a lawyer?”

    “Real answer, or answer I gave NYU during interviews?”

    “Real answer,” Henry says, the corner of his mouth quirking up.

    Alex grins. “I watched Legally Blonde for the first time when I was six. I’ve wanted to be a lawyer ever since.”

    “I regret to inform you that I mostly deal in civil cases, so the opportunity to prove someone guilty of murder based on hair care expertise is going to be slim to none,” Henry says, smile on his face. “If that’s more your wheelhouse, I might have to turn you over to Pez.”

    “Hair care, or criminal law?”

    “Both.”

    [or: Alex is a new associate at Luna, Okonjo, and Fox, and the way Henry looks in a suit is downright criminal]

    Summary

    “The queen wants to show that the Prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.”

    “It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?”

    Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.”

    Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone."

    It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend.

    It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead.

    Summary

    “Okay, but let me ask you something. What would you do if you were just Henry. Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor of nothing-ville. What would you do?”

    “Go on a date.” Alex scoffs, like that’s a ridiculous choice. Like Henry should have chosen frolicking naked in a field or mouthing off in public. Something that is truly off-limits to someone who doesn’t know how severely limited Henry is when it comes to finding someone to love.

    “Something you can’t already do, Henry. That’s the point of the game.”

    “Go on a date with someone I want to date.” Henry hopes he’s not being too obvious. He probably is. Alex is smart and also bisexual and can likely read between the lines.

    [or: Henry came out to the royal family a year ago and has been under scrutiny ever since. Alex helps him see he deserves better]
