    Summary

    prima facie (law) adj.

    based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise

    Henry dislikes Alex. That's alright, though, because Alex dislikes Henry right back.

    But then Henry does something unforgivable. He's kind to Alex. And, Alex? Well, now that he's looking at all the evidence before him, he's realising that on the balance of probabilities ... Henry maybe doesn't dislike him as much as Alex initially thought.

    Or - reference librarian Henry and law student Alex get off on the wrong foot. Several times. They find their way to each other eventually.

    Summary

    Alex is about to call it a day, and a wasted one at that, when he sees a fancy looking man wandering in front of his booth. The neatly coiffed blond hair and plaid blazer are a sight for sore eyes, compared to Alex’s own disheveled state. Alex pastes on his best customer service smile, and catches the man’s attention.

    “Hi, welcome. Can I interest you in some beautiful homegrown flowers?”

    The man approaches carefully. Alex takes it as an encouragement to go on.

    “Maybe these spiky purple ones? Or some tiny white ones? I even got some…uh…. wannabe sunflowers?”

    The man has fully stepped up to the booth now, smirking like he has a secret Alex isn’t in on.

    “Somewhere, a botanist rolls over in his grave,” Fancy Pants says. British, go figure. Alex can’t say he’s surprised. The blazer in this weather should have tipped him off.

     

    OR, reluctant gardener Alex meets plant aficionado Henry. Something blooms.

    Summary

    Alex has had an absolutely shitty day at work. Every email, phone call and interaction with difficult coworkers has just added to the stress. And then, Hunter screwed up on an important case and Alex had to fix the entire mess.

    So when he flops down on his seat in the train, all he wants to do is sit in silence and decompress. Maybe stare out the window disassociating, while he thinks about the leftovers he has waiting for him in his fridge. His stomach rumbles with hunger because he also doesn’t remember eating anything after lunch, except a stale cookie and cold coffee.

    But then, he sees the dog.

    It's a beagle and it's standing in the aisle beside the seat just in front of Alex, all floppy ears and puppy dog eyes, and he might just fall in love at first sight.

    OR A meet cute, a missed connection and a matchmaking dog.

    Summary

    Alex blinks down at his hands again, studying the lines more carefully. The marks are faded, like they were made days ago, and they’re not painful so much as irritated, like they weren’t made by his own hands. He touches one of the marks, and there’s only the slightest sting in response.

    No, definitely not his.

    And if the marks aren’t his, then they must be—

    It hits him like a slap in the face, his breath catching in his throat. He pushes back from his desk and stares at his skin for so long that he gets a little cross-eyed.

    They belong to his soulmate.

    Alex has a soulmate.
    ---
    Or, a soulmate AU where whatever happens to someone's body shows up on their soulmate, too.

    Summary

    The guy grins and walks up to Henry. He sticks his hand in Henry’s face for a fist bump and says, “Hey bro, it’s Vincent. We went on a date here the other week.”

    “Err—right,” Henry says, looking awkward. “Can I help you with something, Vincent?”

    “I’m here to shoot my shot again,” Vincent says confidently. “I just feel like we really could’ve connected if—”

    Which is when Alex slides his chair over, slings an arm around the back of Henry’s seat and says, “Sorry, bro, but he’s already taken.”

    -

    In which the hot guy at the coffee shop keeps bringing all his first dates there when Alex is just trying to study. His name, not that Alex is eavesdropping (much), is Henry. Henry likes dogs and his tea with a splash of Jane Eyre and honestly Alex would make a way better first date for him than all those other guys combined. When one of Henry’s old dates shows up uninvited, Alex is only too happy to prove his point.
