    Summary

    Over the next four years, the mark becomes one of Henry’s main sources of solace. As Philip turns from one of his closest friends into an unbelievably pompous arse, and Bea begins to stay out later and later, it’s one of the few constants Henry has in his life, apart from his parents. A symbol of hope for him; one thing he can count on not to change or go away.

    Until the night he wakes up with his wrist on fire.

    ******

    Henry's soulmark disappears at the same time Alex, thousands of miles away, flatlines after being hit by a car. Based on this rizcriz prompt!

    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

    You know as well as I do how these stories usually end.

    Boy meets boy. Boy falls in love with boy. Boy gets too attached. Boy scares the other boy off. Boy is then left heartbroken and miserable, and swears off love entirely.

    In this particular story, Boy also happens to be a Prince. The prince - the most important prince in the world. And the boy - the prince - is a hopeless romantic. He was always bound to love again. It’s what makes his story so heartbreaking, in the end.

    Summary

    This is an exchange of waiting. This is intimacy in a disaster zone.

    Look Alex, he wants to say, look how many people care. Look how many people need you. Don’t you know what you will do to us if you don’t come back?

     

    //

    Or: Alex is in a coma. Henry waits.

    Summary

    “It’ll be fun,” Alex insists, rotating the screen again so that he can open up the website.

    “It’s… fish, love.”

    Alex rolls his eyes. “It’s way more than that. Have you never been to an aquarium before?”

    “Why on earth would I go to an aquarium?"
