    Summary

    "Ilya knows, logistically, that fucking his roomate is a terrible idea. Right up there with poking a bear, or calling his brother just to say hello, or sticking a fork in an electrical socket.

    The first time was an accident.

    The second and third (and fourth) times were all, also, most definitely accidents."

    Summary

    “You don’t have a single callus,” Alex muttered, almost to himself. “Jesus.”
    Henry flushed, pink blooming at the base of his throat.
    He let Henry’s hands drop. As he took a step back, he caught a faint whiff of a scent. Not sweat or dust, but something gentler. Grass and breeze-dried linen.
    “We don’t need another stray dog,” Alex said, tossing a look at Nora.
    “That what we’re calling cute British guys now?” she asked, smug as hell.
    “We don’t need more workers. We don’t have the budget.”
    “You work yourself to the bone,” Nora pressed. “You could use another pair of hands.”
    Before Alex could bark out something defensive, Henry spoke.
    “I’m stronger than I look.”
    "We'll see about that"

    or: Alex works in his family old ranch. One day a cute blond guy comes asking for a job. He agrees reluctantly.

    Summary

    The vampire brings his lips against Henry’s throat and gives it a lick.

    Henry gasps.

    The tip of the vampire’s fangs are now grazing his skin, but he doesn’t bite, nipping softly at the smooth flesh, as if searching for the best spot to feed.
    Henry’s always been told they go straight to the jugular, but alright, this one likes to play with his food.

    If Bea doesn’t arrive in the next few seconds, he’s probably fucked. And not in a good way.

    or

    New York, 1890. Henry is a Slayer, Alex is a Vampire. Somehow, they are not in a hurry to kill each other.

    Summary

    There he stood. Frozen. In the presence of a man who Henry was willing to swear before Queen and country, under pain of death, was the single most beautiful person on the face of the planet, and possibly several galaxies beyond. A man who possessed the kind of magnetic pull that could persuade Henry to believe in a Catholic God. A man Henry needed to get at least 800 kilometres away from before he caused an international scandal in a tea room at Kensington Palace.

    Henry has a new equerry. And he's too hot for Henry's fragile, gay heart to handle. (AKA the Alex as Henry's equerry AU that I'm sure someone asked for)

    Summary

    Alex's personal morals have never been up for debate.

    He'd grown up religious, spending a week each summer at Vacation Bible School and every Sunday at church. He'd been baptized at age 12 and wore a cross around his neck, promising to be the man God wanted him to be as his mother's family watched on proudly.

    Alex had vowed to wait until marriage to have sex, and at twenty years old, he'd (somehow) managed to keep that vow.

    That is, until Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor walked into his life – or, more realistically, into a wall, catching his attention during a college party.

    Summary

    Alex peers up at Henry’s face, the familiar tenseness in his jaw and mildly disinterested eyes nowhere to be seen. Instead, Henry’s expression is open and borderline delighted, like Brie used an extra strong shot of sorcery to draw Henry in and melt the ice that he usually stays locked behind.

    Suddenly, Alex’s vague crush on an unapproachable coworker feels realer, all because he’s standing there and looking at Alex’s daughter like she hung the fucking moon. He’s treating the most important person in Alex’s life—his entire goddamn heart—as if she truly matters to him, giving her fist bumps and smiling at her and telling her she’s beautiful like her dad.

    It’s doing weird things to Alex’s chest and making his palms sweat even in the air conditioned office, and he can’t decide if he’s okay with that development or if he wants to stick his head in Brie’s Easy-Bake oven.

    Summary

    Henry stutters slightly as he gets his next words out, a flush spreading across his cheeks and Alex does an internal fist pump, “Can I have a bouquet please?”

    “What kind?”

    “You know what kind.”

    “We have oh so many types of bouquets in our wonderful establishment, I truly will need more from you in order to fulfil your order.”

    “You are a menace.”

    “Sir, please do not harass me when I am trying to do my job.” His teeth are nearly drawing blood with how deep they are sunk into his lower lip, trying to hold back his smile.

    “Plague.”

    “Sir, once more and I will have to ask you to leave.”

    Alex is a local florist, and Henry has found a new go to for sending his failed one night stands flowers.

    Summary

    The first few times are an accident —no matter how many times Pez insists that it’s not.

    It’s not Henry’s fault that he’s never really had to cook for himself. After years of watching his father cook for him as a child, Henry had wrongfully imagined that the matter would be quite easy— when it was, in fact, not.

    Proven by the fire brigade bursting down his door every now and then.

    In which Henry is trying to learn how to cook, and every terrible attempt amuses the sexy firefighter who saves him from burning down the entire building very much.

    Summary

    Alex is not even five years old when he first utters those words that he’ll repeat for almost 20 years with no luck of anyone believing him, or taking him seriously for that matter.

    He rushes inside, his hair a mess, sand falling off from his shoes, cheeks all pink, and spots the person he’s been looking for since he left the playground five minutes ago.

    “Bug, Bug!!!” He yells. “I got a boyfriend.”

    But his excitement dies down when all he gets in response is a pat on his already unruly curls, messing them up even further. “Sure you did, Lil Bit.”

    Summary

    “My brother is getting married,” George says flatly.

    Alex blinks in surprise. “Like your twin brother?”

    George makes a face, “No. God no. Phillip.”

    “The boring one?”

    “That’s not the word I’d use to describe him,” George says darkly. “But, yes. And I’ve been ‘cordially invited’ - a.k.a summoned - across the pond to participate in engagement festivities.”

    ---

    OR;

    Henry has a twin called George (yeah, you know who I'm referring to). George up and left London two years ago to New York where he met and befriended our favourite chaotic bisexual disaster, Alex Claremont-Diaz. Now, Philip is engaged and George's attendance is required at the festivities. The only upside is he's allowed a plus-one. Enter Alex, fake-dating, and a pretty blonde twin that takes Alex by surprise.

    [Attachment: Two images. Both images are monochromatic. In one picture, Alex is shown to be playing his guitar but his face is obscured because he is looking down. The other picture shows the lines “All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February / I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it's ruining my life / I love you, it's ruining my life / I touched you for only a fortnight / I touched you, but I touched you”]

    Summary

    Henry is a boring person.

    This is an objective fact. It’s been such a constant in his life that it hardly bothers him. He prefers the mundane. Thrives under routine. Tolerates many things poorly: surprise parties, capsaicin, loud noises.

    Another objective fact: Henry loves Alex. Alex is not boring at all.

    Unfortunately, everyone else in Henry’s life seems to think that a bore like him is incapable of a relationship like theirs— and, more distressingly, that this must mean that Alex simply doesn’t exist.

    Or: Five times that no one believed that Henry and Alex were an item, and one time that they all did.

    Summary

    "Can you teach me?" His voice is smaller than he would like, timid almost but he can't help it. He remembers the stories of bandits, how they prey on weakness in an instant. Despite his grandmother's shrieked warnings blaring in his mind like alarm bells, he doesn't feel that from the man standing before him.

    "Teach you what, sweetheart?" Alex drawls in that honeyed tone only used when they're alone, raising his flask to his lips and taking a long swig.

    "How to fuck?"

    Alex's resounding splutter echoes throughout the canyon, making an owl screech and fly away from its perch while Henry can only stare at the sharp line of his jaw.

    Henry Fox has resolved himself to live a quiet life, forever firmly held under his grandmother's thumb, never able to spread his wings and flourish; and he is fine with this.

    Yet, when their home is ransacked by bandits he finds himself at the forefront of the massacre, faced with whiskey-coloured eyes and a smooth timbre, warming him from the inside out when he has always felt like ice. So, of course, he does the only logical thing a human can do in this situation.

    He offers himself up for ransom.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry, but is anyone going to tell us who the hell Henry is and why he’s here?” A strong voice cuts through the room.

    Henry’s eyes dart over to the handsome stranger standing protectively at the foot of June's hospital bed. They lock eyes, and Henry is taken off guard by the similarities between the man and June. They share the same striking features, the same dark hair. And the eyelashes. It’d be impossible not to notice those signature eyelashes. Henry knows undoubtedly that the voice of inquiry is coming from none other than June Claremont-Diaz’s brother.

    “You don’t know Henry? Ms. Claremont-Diaz’s fiancé.”

    The room erupts into chaos.

    ---

    Or, a While You Were Sleeping (1995) AU, where Henry Fox finds himself in a fake engagement with June Claremont-Diaz and more than a little fond of June’s handsome and charming brother.

    Summary

    When Henry Fox’s fourth series as a professional dancer on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing rolls around, he’s got a good feeling. He knows what he’s doing — he’s a two-time semi-finalist — and this year he wants to win. That is, until he’s knocked off-kilter by two revelations: they’re allowing same gender contestant/pro pairings for the first time in the show’s history, and Alex Claremont-Díaz is joining as the newest pro dancer.

    He is, to put it mildly, absolutely screwed.

    (aka, the pro dancers rivals-to-friends-to-lovers au that no one asked for)
