Chasing Dragons by The_Sinking_Ship for Ladderofyears
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
17 Jul 2021

Summary
Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.
But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.
Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

Summary
Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals.
Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep.
Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.

Unlike Anyone I Have Ever Known by starry_pisces
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston

Tags
Summary
“Good morning, sweetheart. I guess I should explain a little.
It seems as though you’ve upset the gods. I’m not going to pry. Your business is your own. Still, in doing so they’ve banished you to my island.
Ogygia is hidden, cursed to be unplottable and undiscoverable. No mortal can find it without divine intervention. And once you’re here, only divine intervention will allow you to leave.
I’m sorry. Truly. No one deserves this. But I hope that I can make your time here easy, and peaceful.
If you ever need anything, anything at all, just say it out loud. I'll hear you, and if it's within my power, I'll get it for you.
-Alex”

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

01 Jul 2024
Tags
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.

Summary
As far as Affairs of the Heart go, Harry has always floundered.
When he's sent to Malfoy Manor to examine various Dark Artifacts Draco Malfoy has uncovered in his home, he finds that the eight years of house arrest plus another two of hermitage have softened his old rival into a pleasant, though confusing person.
And that was before they accidentally got married.

Summary
His door creaks. “Alex.”
Henry. Fresh tears splash over his cheeks. “Since when do you ignore my boundaries?”
“Since you—” Henry sputters. “For Christ’s sake, I haven’t allowed myself a single shred of hope in four years, can you blame me for not being able to stand it?”

Alex’s sexuality—straight—is the punchline of most Super Six jokes. He starts figuring out why that bothers him so much.

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.

Summary
It’s unexpected, and the softness that Prince Henry maintains is a shock to his system.
It makes him want to say something, even if it’s only to ask how his day was or to request an explanation for why he spent nearly fifteen fucking minutes looking at Cupid and Psyche with a forlorn look in his eyes. When he moves on, Alex gazes up at the sculpture and tries to discern the magic that must have captured the prince’s attention, but he comes up with no answers.
Which makes him want to ask more.
But he isn’t supposed to.
----
Or, Alex is the new V&A night guard and Henry is the prince that Alex has been explicitly instructed to leave alone.- Language:

A Heart Even More Your Own. by chaa_kiao
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
16 Nov 2022

Summary
“Guess you’ll be writing those poems after all.” He swallows. "I should go."
Henry’s mind— every part of him, really— his heart, his body, his fucking soul— is screaming at him to take it all back. To hell with the monarchy, the American presidency, damn it all. This is the man he’s spent his entire life loving and he’s throwing it away for a legacy he doesn’t give a single fuck about. He forces out a rough “I think so,” but he can’t hear it over the ringing in his ears.
“I love you.”
“Alex—”
“I know,” Alex says. “I just had to say it.”
_______Or: Alex and Henry getting back together takes a little bit longer this time.

Summary
Pansy’s pretty sure someone in Hell is laughing their arse off right now at this divine retribution. Like the final piece of the constant torture she’s had the last several years.
But being married to your childhood crush is what romance books are made of. So at least she’s got that going for her.
Pity Harry Potter hates her with his entire being.
Then again, she totally hates him too... right?

Summary
He sighed, stirring more sugar into his tea. “Exactly how bad is this going to be, Pansy?”
There was a very long pause. “Look. Draco and I are engaged.”
“Er,” Harry said, slowly. “Congratulations? Except, um, you do know -”
Pansy glanced up, looking almost amused. “That he’s stupidly in love with Hermione?”
“I was more going to say that she was stupidly in love with him.”

Summary
"Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"
"Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"
Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.
It was a little girl.
"Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"
"Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."
Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.

Summary
He looks Alex up and down, opens his mouth and closes it again. He glances at his equerry, who gives him a slight nod that Alex doesn’t even try to understand. Henry looks back at Alex and juts his chin out just a little. “Are you comfortable with being touched right now?”
Alex feels himself give Henry a squinty frown as he processes the implications of the question. Surely someone who’s about to kill you wouldn’t ask for permission first. Right? He looks warily at the stuffy security person and Henry’s equerry who are the only people standing still amongst the flurry of movement beyond.
“Only me,” Henry says, drawing his attention back, “Or you can say no.”
Alex shrugs.In the immediate aftermath of cakegate, Alex’s anxiety takes over and he starts to shut down before they even hit the ground. Henry, who’s been halfway in love with him for years and who aches at seeing him so vulnerable, lets go of his snark and polite indifference to help him clean up and calm down with the kindness and love he deserves.
