false pretenses by rizcriz

Summary
Henry spins around, glaring at Alex. “For christs sake,” He hisses, holding a hand out between them. “Can we just not? I do not have the capacity to pretend to hate you today.”
Alex splutters as Henry turns on his heel and starts to walk away. He stares after him helplessly. “Pretend?” After a beat, he starts to follow after him, “What the fuck do you mean pretend?”
Three years of breathing down each others necks, fighting every time they come in contact with each other. And if Henry is saying every single thing on his end has been pretend, Alex Claremont-Diaz is going to have a fucking breakdown. Because he has been harboring this stupid fucking crush and burying it beneath false antagonism, meeting Henry where he’s at, for three years, and if Henry is implying that they’re both faking it—

Summary
So excuse him if he passes by Henry one night, both in pajamas and on their way to their respective rooms, both about to end their day at the same time, and his pinky slightly grazes against Henry’s right hip, immediately making him stop, whip around and stutter out, “H-Hey.”
It startles Henry—it startles Alex as well, Jesus—as he stumbles with his steps and turns around, eyebrows raised in surprise at the sudden break in peaceful silence in their apartment.
“Hey?” he replies.
or
Law student Alex is incredibly touch-starved and his English Lit PhD roommate Henry is right there.

Summary
Living with Henry is easy. Being friends with Henry? Even easier. Fucking stellar. He puts up with Alex’s antics. He seems to genuinely listen to everything Alex has to say. Whenever Henry smiles at him, it makes Alex feel warm inside. He’d even go as far as to say that, besides Nora, Henry is his best friend. So, naturally, Alex knows when something is wrong. Henry won’t say it, but Alex can see it.
Or: The one where Alex is a bisexual disaster who has abandonment issues and jumps to conclusions at the speed of light.

Summary
Alex and Henry broke up five years ago, but Alex hasn't stopped loving him. When he's asked to return to London and go to an event where he'll see Henry again, he's not sure he can take the heartbreak, but he does as a favor for the new president. All he's ever wanted to know is why Henry left him, but he doesn't think he'll ever get the answer.
While at the party, he meets a little boy with big brown eyes, dark hair, and a familiar smile. And he much prefers his company to any of the other snobs attending.
Will Alex get the answers he's searching for?
*This story IS based on the book with some movie changes because I liked them better**

Summary
The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.
“God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”
Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

Summary
“I had to,” Alec insists. “I know I hurt him. By the Angel, I know, and I hate it, but I had to. He was so broken, I had to do something, I had to fix it. And I can’t tell him about the deal, because that was part of it. That was one of the conditions. Magnus can’t know.”
“No.” The look Catarina gives him makes Alec’s chest tighten in fear. “Alec, Magnus doesn’t have any memories of you anymore. He has no idea who you are.”
***In which Magnus removes his memories of Alec, Alec swallows the pain of Magnus’ obliviousness to their shared past, and the devil is in the details (literally).
(AKA the canon-divergent 3x19 rewrite, because it disappointed me.)

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.

Don’t Wanna Be A Fool For You by myheartalive
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston

Summary
Henry had always known it would come to this, in the end. That his ridiculous, unrequited, life-destroying love for Alex would always break his heart. He’d chosen to indulge it, because, if he’s being honest with himself, pulling away from Alex at any stage in their friendship would have broken him. He could have brought it forward or put if off, but the end result had always been inevitable. So he’d chosen to delay it, for as long as possible.
But he’s always had an extraction plan in place for when it became too hard. A fake family emergency. Some last minute thing calling him to England, the details unimportant. A quickly packed suitcase and a note stuck to the fridge. He has a credit card and his passport lives in the top drawer of his bedside table, where he can get to it easily. He has an open invitation to stay at Pez’s place, or Bea’s.
Henry had always known the day would come.—
Henry and Alex are roommates, Henry is in love and Alex is oblivious. And then, ONE DAY...

Summary
After a few moments of counting, the syrup starts to pull back until Henry can think again. He groans, burying his face in Alex’s neck. “What was that?”
“Yeah, you went under hard,” Alex agrees. Henry hums a question, pressing further into Alex’s side. “Shit baby, was that the first time you dropped?”
“Dropped what?”
“I gotta get you some pamphlets,” Alex says, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Henry’s head.

Months later, Pez scores them an invitation to spend Thanksgiving weekend with June Claremont-Diaz, her girlfriend, and her brother, at her family's lakehouse. It could be the second chance he's been looking for, or he could be stuck hopelessly pining for someone who only ever wanted sex.

Summary
"God, Alex, I don't know how you get through life being so-"
"...So?"
But Henry isn't responding, his train of thought cut off entirely at the sight of the cursive scrawl on Alex's now exposed chest, shirt entirely unbuttoned. The font is in perfect cursive, looping around the letters as his eyes hone in on two words in startling clarity, black ink against tanned skin.
Bloody child.
"Prick." Henry says, nothing more than a breath, and watches as the font curls and changes to reflect the word.
"Ex-fucking-scuse me?"
Panicked at the thought of Alex being stood directly in front of a mirror, he whispers underneath his breath the first word that comes to mind, “Gorgeous.”
“Are you having a stroke?”
In a world where the last thing your soulmate says about you appears on your skin, Henry has always wanted to see the black script curl across his chest. Unfortunately for him, his soulmate turns out to be the infuriating wedding planner determined to work alongside him, who has absolutely zero interest in finding his own soulmate.
Life is what you cake it, he supposes.

Summary
By the time they’ve reached the landing, Henry is shaking his arm out of Alex’s grip. “The picture of grace under fire,” he says, the words snapping from his mouth. Alex blinks at him, before his face smooths into its professional mask. “You can’t pick a fight with the Queen’s equerry, no matter how averse you are to the concept of the monarchy.”
Alex looks Henry up at down, his mouth forming a tight line. “I don’t pick fights, Your Majesty,” he says, adjusting his grip on Henry’s suitcase. Henry can’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of that statement. “Shaan called me a few weeks ago to go over every single thing that made you miserable about the holidays. It was a very long phone call.” Henry doesn’t doubt that. “I’m going to help you avoid as many of those items as possible.”
—
Alex, an American former-MC, steps in during Shaan’s paternity leave, much to Henry’s chagrin. Fortunately for Henry, the mysterious American just may be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
