Summary
Arthur catches him staring. His eyes fall to Merlin’s lips. For once, he doesn’t look away.
His gaze does what the fire can’t. Merlin leans closer, tilts his chin up like an offering. “Arthur.”
Arthur casts a furtive glance around the camp, exhaling shakily. He leans in; Merlin closes his eyes. The tip of his cold nose brushes against the side of Merlin’s. His bottom lip bumps into Merlin’s top one.
A raven caws and Arthur jumps away.

Summary
Sometimes Henry feels like a cloud of dark moods and awful thoughts. Formless, floating. Alex’s hands give him shape, bring him back to his body, make him real again.

Summary
Alex gives David another ear scratch, then waves them goodbye. Henry stares after him.
Ohhh, David thinks, he can’t wait for Pez to find out about this.
or: 3 times David meets Alex on a walk + 1 time David goes on a walk with Alex.

Summary
It’s their house. It’s their bed. The other half of it, the place beside Alex, is Henry’s. It’s only been a little over a month, not long enough for the wonder of it to even begin to fade.

Summary
“Oh. It’s you,” came a dry voice from the other side of the bookcase, and Merlin’s head snapped up. He sensed no gods around, and never in his nearly three millennia had a mortal ever said those words to him; not once.
His gaze landed on Arthur Pendragon.
“You can see me?”
Arthur paused, blinked. “Sorry?”
“You— you can see me?” Merlin rushed to the other side of the case. “You remember me?”
In which Merlin is a lonely god incharge of the mortals’ soulmarks, one of whom he keeps running into.

Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
07 Dec 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Always Where I Need To Be by chamel for Celaestis

Summary
Alex doesn’t even know how he does it most of the time. He’ll take his glasses off for five minutes while he’s working to rest his eyes, and somehow David will snag them off the coffee table and run off with them. He doesn’t chew them, thank god, but the slobber is bad enough. Plus, there’s the fact that Alex has to go on a search to find whatever random place he’s managed to hide them.
Except… the places the glasses end up don’t seem to be exactly random.
(Alex's new roommate has a puppy with a penchant for theft—and, seemingly, strong opinions on where Alex needs to be.)
