    Summary

    “Do you reckon you’re going to be arrested for abducting a prince?” Henry asks, somewhat serious, considering Shaan had orders to take him somewhere completely differently than Austin.

    Shaan barks out a dry laugh. He seems startled at the sound, and immediately takes a long sip of his tea. “I didn’t abduct you, Your Royal Highness,” he replies. "You asked to be taken elsewhere."

     

    Canon compliant until the e-mails are leaked, this fic follows Henry (and Shaan) after Henry makes the decision to go rogue, ignoring his grandmother's orders and leaving the country. This fic is mostly Henry's point of view with the exception of the first chapter, which is from Alex's point of view.

    Trigger warnings for this one are references to depression and suicide.

    Now finished!

    Summary

    It’s six months today since they’d moved into their Park Slope brownstone, six months since they’d finally carved out a space in the world that’s just theirs, six months of finding new things to celebrate about one another. Of waking up together. Of Alex becoming the one person in the world that Henry allows himself to rely upon and of Henry learning to be that for Alex. Of joyously, curiously learning one another.

    And in the process, Henry has learned… a few things about himself.

    For example, he’s discovered that he enjoys preparing little surprises for Alex to discover when he gets home from work.

    (Listen: the doc title for this was "Henry is submissive and breedable. That's it. That's the fic.")

    Summary

    Henry nods understandingly, moving in a step closer, “Do you want to go home?”

    “No, it’s fine.” He clears his throat, “I’m sorry about…”

    “Justin.”

    “...Justin.” The word feels like cloth in his mouth and he swallows, “You should go find him, explain.”

    “It’s alright.” Henry brushes a cool hand against his forehead and Alex almost stumbles into the touch, “I’d rather stay here.”

    Alex’s voice is painfully small as he asks, “With me?”

    It’s enough to bring a smile to the other man’s face, “With you, Alex.”

    Alex is drunk and not jealous of the guy his roommate is flirting with. Alex is drunk and really wants Henry to pull cheesy faces with him in this photo booth. Alex is drunk and very confused when Henry says he loves him and then dips right as the camera goes off.

    Summary

    Alex has been so wrapped up in the world of pretentious film critics that he has forgotten how many people out there love him, watch his movies, and are the reason why he also gets to be a director now. He’s so lucky to be where he is and screw whoever is trying to bring him down.

    (Alex would gladly screw that one person who’s constantly bringing him down, but that’s not here nor there.)

    *

    or: Alex, a very popular actor, can't stand one movie critic who always writes awful reviews of his movies.
    After years, he finally decides to face him at a movie festival.
    Things don't go exactly as planned.

    Summary

    5 times when Alex stole something of Henry's and 1 time he didn't have to.

    ===

    The tie, a dark green with light green fleur-de-lis printed over it, looks good against Alex’s shirt but Henry’s staring at it like he’s taking offense.
    Which definitely means that Alex stole it.
    Spencer isn’t sure what kind of dynamic this is anymore but he thinks, briefly, that maybe they’re all missing something because Alex’s grinning smugly and Henry looks struck.

    Summary

    As Alex is cleaning up the table Henry vacated, he finds a crumpled piece of paper left behind, and quirks his eyebrow in surprise. Henry has never before left trash outside of his tray. Maybe he really was out of it today. Alex did notice that he looked worse for wear earlier – his voice was very quiet when he ordered, there were darker bags under his eyes, he moved lethargically, and he looked paler than usual.

    Picking up the crumpled piece of paper, Alex notices that it looks like a page from a fancy notebook. His curiosity prevailing, he opens and smooths it out. 


    Dear Orion,
    I wish I could see you.

     

    Or, Alex goes to London to escape his own problems and falls in love with a handsome man with sad blue eyes.

    Summary

    “It sounds like the Alex I grew up with,” Henry tells him. He pauses, thinking if he can say it, but he holds on to the light, and tries, “The one only I got to see.”

    And Alex doesn’t leave him any room for doubt, telling him, “That Alex will always be yours.”

    Henry closes his eyes, chin quivering in the wake of new tears, grateful and pained, and even all these years later, still quietly in love.

     

    (In which Henry and Alex were children, growing up together, and Henry had always loved him, a little, a lot. And then they weren’t children anymore, and everything changed, and the memories are haunting, all-consuming, and divine.)

    Summary

    When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.

    To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.

    (Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

    Summary

    Henry has spent many lifetimes roaming this earth, far more than any other man he’s met. When he'd rejected Apollo’s advances and refused to be his lover, the jealous god cursed him with two gifts – immortality, and a soul mate Mark, a statue on his forearm, the promise of love but the curse of never knowing when, or for how long, his lover will be in his life.

    So he spends his life befriending artists, allows the great sculptors to cast him in stone and draw him on canvas and hopes it will lead him to the one who might have answers to it all. But as time moves forward and the world advances, so does Henry. He reads and learns, occupies his endless hours with knowledge and begins to think it was all a cruel joke, that Apollo just held love over his head and never intended for him to find it.

    He's visiting one of the sculptures of himself at the V&A, a direct likeness to the mark on his forearm when he feels it – a gaze that drops when Henry looks up, and when he sees the boy standing across the atrium, also admiring the statue… it all falls into place.

    Maybe love wasn't completely avoiding him, after all, he just was too impatient to wait for it.

    Summary

    “You wanna run that one by me again, sweetheart?”

    Henry bites down on his tongue briefly to suppress some choice words and instead says, “Tea, please. Earl Grey if you have it.”

    Alex throws his head back in a laugh, one that exposes the lines of his throat entirely and Henry almost has an aneurysm trying not to stare at.

    “Tea.” He says once he’s calmed himself down, eyes practically gleaming as he leans in further over the counter, “No. Let’s try you with a coffee. You seem sweet - a mocha?”

    Henry hates his new barista. And Alex? Well, Alex really wants to fuck him.

    Summary

    "I fell in love with you when I first saw you on my screen eons ago. There was this little boy with unruly curls, acting alongside his mother, and he had my heart. I fell in love with you when you pushed me into that bloody ocean, not caring about who I was, even though you totally knew, you arsehole," Henry laughs wetly.

    "Baby, how could I not know you? I'd recognise you in every lifetime," Alex murmurs, brushing his thumb over Henry's knuckles.

    or,
    Alex, a retired child star, falls in love with Henry, the Prince of Wales, on a road trip without knowing he's the same man Alex has been talking to through letters since he was ten years old.

    Summary

    “Oh fuck–” Henry hears, dragging him from inside his head, mere moments before he sees the cup of liquid that is coming straight for the front of his t-shirt. He isn't just splashed with a little bit of it, it’s an almost full drink and it soaks the front of him. Whatever it is is lukewarm from the sun, sticky and smells like coke mixed with something alcoholic.

    His head lifts, gaze shifting from his own soaked torso to the culprit before him. The sight leaves him forgetting entirely about whatever has just been thrown over him and his grimace fades as soon as it has appeared because his eyes are met by the single most beautiful man Henry’s seen in his life before.

    He quite honestly forgets how to breathe entirely.

    OR: Pez has a great idea to sneak the youngest royals to New York pride. Henry quite literally bumps into the love of his life.

    Summary

    Alex has somehow made it into the most elite sex club on this side of the city, and so far he’s gawked at one (1) naked man—a downright gorgeous man, in his defense—from a distance and gone non-verbal and introspective on a couch by himself.

    Truly riveting stuff.

    Summary

    Alex is a somewhat disillusioned actor who finally lands the project of his dreams: a story that matters, directed by one of his idols, Rafael Luna. The only problem is that the screenwriter is Henry Fox, who can’t seem to stand Alex, and who Alex would love to shove into a cake. Neither of them expect the way working together will change both of their lives forever. Or, five times Henry Fox, screenwriter with the hottest script in town, talked about Alexander Claremont-Diaz, up-and-coming actor, and one time Alex talked about him right back.

    “Up to the challenge?” Alex says, and then says it again, just in case Zahra missed it. “Up to the challenge?”

    “It’s a perfectly normal quote, Alex, especially since you haven’t really met Henry Fox before,” Zahra says.

    “Uh, we’ve met, Z,” Alex shoots back. “Or, I tried to meet him and congratulate him on his script like two years ago at that amfAR benefit and he looked at me like I was some sort of unwanted sentient mud and walked away, remember?”

    Summary

    The way the man stretched showed off his muscle tone, and when he leaned over for a lunge that showed off his arse, Henry bit his lip. He wanted to do this, but he was also intensely distracted. Henry made attempts to follow along, and about halfway through the exercises, he was sweating, but he couldn’t tell if it was from exertion or lust.

    --
    Henry wants to get back into shape and Pez recommends an online fitness instructor due to Henry not wanting to take the plunge into going to the gym. In comes Alex Claremont-Diaz. Henry planned to admire and fantasize about the man from afar. Cue the meet-cute.

    Summary

    “Hmm,” Henry mused. “so you took time out of your schedule, studying for … law school?”
    “The Bar, but good catch,” Alex corrected.
    “To look out into the crowd of this fine establishment, see me, notice that I’ve been stood up, and then offer to ease my sorrows by buying me a drink?”
    “Excellent reconstruction of the scene so far. Maybe you should look into law school yourself.”
    “Knowing full well,” Henry continued unscathed, “that buying someone a drink can be construed as flirting?”
    Alex laughed and shook his head. “I plead the fifth,” he said with a smile so charming that Henry could feel it in the tips of his toes.

    Summary

    Henry is a doctor at a NY public hospital. His visa to work in the States expires, and he has to leave the country. His only option for another working visa is to go back to the UK for a year and apply from there, something he is not ready to do. His boss, June Claremont-Díaz, offers the help of her recently graduated attorney brother. It is not just that nobody asked Alex how he feels about helping Henry. It is that he and Alex met a couple of years ago, before Alex went to Texas to do his internship, and it didn’t go well. Every time they’ve met since, they’ve been rude to each other. Nothing predicts this time might be different.

    Or: the green card marriage RWRB AU love story nobody asked for.

    Summary

    Henry gently dabs his wounds dry, applies a thin layer of neosporin, and bandages his heels up. His long, nimble fingers trace up his achilles tendons, and then he’s massaging Alex’s calves. “What are you doing to yourself, Alex?”

    Alex groans into the couch, dreading this conversation and Henry’s touch and obvious disappointment. And then Henry’s hands disappear, and Alex dreads that the most. He suddenly wishes this couch had a pull-out bed that would malfunction, swallowing him whole.

    “I’ve been stressed.” He mumbles incoherently into the couch.

    ---

    or - alex realized he was in love with henry two months ago, and this is how he's dealing with it.

    Summary

    “It was bloody awful.” The bottle of wine has long since disappeared, and Henry has dispatched Pez to the kitchen to make them something stronger. Cocktails are Pez’s specialty. Wallowing is Henry’s. “The most beautiful man I’ll ever meet, and I just watched him walk away.”

    “Well, look on the bright side.” Pez presses a fresh glass into Henry’s hand before sinking down into the seat cushions next to him. “Children are wonderful. Beacons of delight, say exactly what they think, our future is in their hands, et cetera. But they’re also tiny germ factories. Chances are, she and her delectable father will be back to see you sooner rather than later, and then you can give him your number, arrange to see him in a decidedly non-professional setting, and get your leg over. Simple.”

    Or, Henry became a paediatrician to help sick children—not to flirt with their adults.
