Two, he is definitely bi.
Three, he’s fully in love with Henry.

Summary
Alex wasn’t made to be the type of person that will cook someone breakfast in the morning. Dancing around with someone he loves in his underwear isn’t something he gets to have. He’s awful at remembering anniversaries and inept at thinking of grand romantic gestures. Candlelit dinners, handmade cards, buying flowers—it’s just not what he’s built for.
And that’s fine.
Alex doesn't need any brave hero to save him, and he sure as hell was never meant to be anyone else's prince charming.
That's why this—his thing with Henry—is the perfect solution.

Summary
When his birthday postcard arrives, Alex doesn't expect it to come with a letter from a stranger. And when he writes back, he certainly doesn't expect a reply.
But one letter turns to two, and then into dozens more. What begins as a mistake turns into something neither of them could have predicted. Something worth waiting for.
“I think I’ve been falling for you since you were just ink on paper.”
Or: the modern letter-writing AU.

Summary
“He loves me,” is the first thing Henry says after Arthur asks what’s got him so torn up.
“Okay,” Arthur says, as if it was a given. Mostly because it was.
Henry turns his head to the side, a confused expression on his face. “Okay?”
“Oh,” Arthur stares back, just as confused. “Did we not know this?”
“We?” Henry asks, bewildered.
“I guess not, then.”
or,
5 times Henry tells Arthur about Alex, and 1 time Alex tells Arthur about Henry

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.
