an echo of similar sentiment by rizcriz
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston, Red White & Royal Blue (2023)
30 Jan 2024

Summary
Alex barely registers the rest of the class leaving. His nose is buried in his laptop, eyes skimming over every aching line of the email. Distantly, he hears someone call his name, barely registers it though, as the line, an echo of similar sentiment upon your lips, drags along the edges of his vision. He snags on the line, tears his gaze over, follows the line of the sentence leading into it.
“Mr. Claremont-Diaz.”
He jolts, ripping his attention from his laptop screen and meeting Professor Mcrully’s curious gaze. “Professor,” He says. His voice cracks on the final syllable, eyes falling back to his monitor momentarily to catch the end of a sentence; As if what I feel is as natural and true as the air we breathe.
Fuck.

Or, Henry sends Alex a love letter.

Summary
In the end, Buck’s not sure who moves first– just that they’re kind-of-dancing together in this gay club, and Eddie’s so beautiful he looks ethereal, and suddenly Buck knows that up close he smells like laundry detergent and sweat and tastes like beer and chapstick and mint bubblegum.
Or, Buck finds God in his best friend’s mouth at the back of a gay club.

in your arms (the happiest place on earth) by rizcriz

Summary
Alex stares at the text, his heartbeat thrumming wild and free in his veins, because what the fuck. Not because of the content of the text, as mundane and normal as it is; not Henry thinking about him when he’s several states away without him; not the fact he’s even texted while Alex is in the middle of the busiest damn park at Disney World.
It’s the words that pop into his head as soon as he reads the text:
Fuck, I love him.
What. The. Fuck.

until you're sick of me by rizcriz

Summary
Henry hasn't seen his roommate in nearly two months. Alex left for Austin shortly before Thanksgiving for two weeks, and Henry left for London the day before he was set to return. They’ve had the odd facetime call, and several hundred text messages to help them tide their time apart—but that didn’t take away from the fact that Henry fucking missed him.
And after three delayed flights, he’s finally standing outside their apartment door, and he’s resigned himself to the fact that it’ll still be several hours before he can finally see Alex again. He sighs and sets down his bag to dig out his keys, carefully tucks the key into the lock, and quietly opens the door, turning his back to it to pick up his carryon and grab his roller bag. As quietly as he can, he scoots backwards into the apartment, flinching as the roller bag bounces off the door frame.

Or, surprise, it's a love confession

Summary
The email arrives 8 days after Henry left the lake house. He contemplates deleting it without reading, but it sits in his Alex inbox, where there are over seventy emails favourited, and somehow it feels wrong and weirdly impersonal.
As if leaving without a note were any different.
He stares at the from line with an aching longing that seeps into his veins. It settles on his heart like a tangible thing; something warranted and cruel that casts shackles around the aorta and locks them tight so that he might never love again.

Summary
The first voicemail notification sits in Henry’s inbox when he lands in London. He stares at it for a long while before quietly dismissing it and shoving his phone unceremoniously into his pocket. His phone feels like lead in his pocket the entire ride back to the palace, fingers itching to pull it out and just listen. But he’s stronger than that, isn’t he? He left, he got on the plane, he made it home without once looking back.
He had, though, contemplated the many steps it would take to turn around. Wondered if he could make it back with enough time to climb back into Alex’s bed and pretend none of this nightmare—the confession of love—had ever happened. But for every step he envisions himself taking back, three more lead him straight to Kensington Palace, because for whatever it is that he wants, there is only what he can have, and it is not a life with one Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz.

Or, Henry actually answers one of Alex's calls.

Summary
It’s.
Not a secret, exactly.
It’s just, time fucking flies when you’re having fun and before anyone knows it you’re six months deep in a relationship that feels like its going to stand the test of time and neither you nor your boyfriend know how to sit down your friends and family and tell them the truth. And, okay, this is kind of their faults, in a way, because they had agreed to test the limits of their relationship in the privacy of their apartment and never really in front of anyone else—
Okay, fuck, maybe it is a secret.

Eddie meets Buck. Eddie falls for Buck.

Summary
“Where are you going?”
Henry freezes where he’s standing over his overnight bag, fingers still clasped around the tug on the zipper. His eyes slide closed of their own accord, dread pooling low in his gut. This was not how this was supposed to go. Alex is a deep sleeper, he should’ve been out the door and on a plane back to London long before he ever woke up. Not just for Henry’s sake, but for both of theirs.
This was not a conversation Henry wanted to have.

Summary
The fight is explosive.
Henry retreats to his office downstairs and Alex sits on the edge of the bed, spine trembling. He replays the conversation in his head, fingers clenching in the bedspread. His eyes squeeze shut and he tries to let it go; tries to stop the thoughts before they form. The comparisons to his parents; the way Henry’s voice had cracked when he called Alex selfish.
It’s just one fight.
One fight.
Every couple fights.

He gets them convention tickets so Chris can meet him, and doesn’t expect the spark at the signing table but hey he’s not gonna feel bad about accidentally taking 20 minutes at his booth or how happy Chris is (He doesn’t realize that Buck slid a second autograph under the first, or that he also wrote a number on it until they get home, but he doesn’t hesitate to text it.)"

Summary
For the first time since he walked out onto the soundstage, he eases into his chair, and nods, genuine comfort seeping into his bones. “Now it’s getting interesting,” he says, motioning towards the monitor with a grin.
He doesn't even think about his answer, either. Eyes flicking over Prince Henry’s features. He smiles slow and interested, and very carefully says, “Smash. Definitely smash.” And to send the point home and reiterate just how fucking bisexual he is, no matter how hard people try to bury it, he turns to the camera, and says, “Name a time and place and I’m there.”

Or, a game of smash or pass changes two lives irrevocably.

Summary
“He’s so hot,” Alex mutters to himself, leaning his elbow on the desk and planting his chin in his hand so he can gaze upon him better. “Why’s he so hot?”
Henry stutters, then goes completely silent, clearing his throat as his gaze darts over his own screen, before stilling as if landing on his designated target.
“Mr. Claremont-Diaz,” Professor Srivastava says. “It appears you’ve forgotten to mute yourself.”

Summary
This is all Nora’s fault. No, actually, it’s the fucking Crown’s fault. No, no, it’s homophobia’s fault. Fuck, okay, he doesn’t know who to blame but he’s pinning it on the lapels of the universe with a frown and a fuck you.
Because Henry, beautiful, wonderful, rosy cheeked Henry—the man Alex would fucking die for and who deserves the whole god damned world—has never been given flowers. It may seem small, innocuous, but the look in his eyes as June smells the bouquet of lilacs Nora brought to the bar for her says fucking otherwise.
Henry’s words are still hanging over the group of them; “I wouldn’t know,” he’d said with a small shrug and a smile that said he wasn’t too upset, but Alex saw the little crease in his brow, the way his gaze dropped to the table on the shrug, he knows it matters; “I’ve never been given any.”

“Leaving so soon?”
Henry curses, crashing into the kitchen island, and dropping his bag at his feet. Fuck, he thinks, tearing his gaze across the room to where Alex’s dad is sitting on the couch with a tumbler of what Henry assumes is scotch.
“Congressman,” Henry murmurs, heart in his throat.

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
Alex is lying in a bed, hooked up to a heart monitor, tubes sticking out of his arms. He looks like he’s gone through an entire ordeal, only, as soon as Henry walks through the door, his eyes go wide, and he’s grinning, a big, toothy smile, bits of cotton sticking out from the corners of his mouth, and sleepily slurring out something that sounds suspiciously like Henry’s name.
His gaze darts to the doctor.
Just as he’s about to ask, there’s a flutter of a movement, the racing sound of the heart monitor going crazy. He snaps his eyes over to look at the monitor—doesn’t understand anything other than the fact that Alex’s heart is going crazy enough to set off several alarms, the beeping quick and scary, and all the information Henry just forced upon himself comes racing to the forefront of his mind as he scurries further into the room, wide eyed and panicked. He looks between the doctor and the nurse, but they’re holding back smiles as they look at each other, barely paying any mind to the monitor.

Summary
. . . Henry’s hands grasp at thin air. He blinks, eyebrows furrowing, the music slowing to a dull hum, off in the distance, as Alex is pulled, almost in slow motion, into a kiss with a blonde woman. And then a brunette. He feels his smile fall, a slow, painful death. Feels the remorse slink in like a shadow spear through his heart.
Alex is straight. He knew that.
He knew that.

There was a picture of the castle. Fireworks. A couple in matching mouse ears holding hands. A child laughing joyfully between them.
Eddie blinked. “What the hell—?”
Chris gasped so dramatically that Eddie thought, for a split second, something had exploded.
“WE’RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND?!”
“No—no, hang on—” Eddie held up the letter, scanning the fine print. “I didn’t enter any contest."
“But it says we won!” Chris grabbed the second page and read aloud at lightning speed: “‘Prize includes complimentary resort lodging, three park hopper passes, character dining experience, VIP fireworks seating, and deluxe photo package awarded to—’"
He stopped. Looked up at Eddie. Then down at the page. Then back up.
“Dad,” Chris said carefully, “why does it say you’re married to Buck?”
