Summary
Alex’s eyes open on their own volition and land on Henry’s ocean look, fixated right on him.
They stare at each other and none of them seems inclined to break their gaze.
There is a voice in the back of Alex’s head, who is screaming a million things at the same time:Close your eyes!
What are you doing?
This guy is a dick, you hate him for fuck’s sake!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Look at Laureen what’s-her-name-again instead!Truth is, he’s totally unable to tear his eyes away from Henry.
He has a gorgeous girl between his legs, giving him an incredible blow job and he can’t fucking look away!Or
A weird half public sex situation sends Alex into a difficult sexual crisis

Summary
Smell is an interesting thing, as far as senses go. He learned in undergrad anatomy that it’s actually responsible in part for encoding memory, and it’s a powerful trigger for it. Alex has experienced this plenty of times; his mother’s perfume reminding him of their years in Texas, his father’s cigars. This time, with the smell of this room, Alex is hit square in the chest with the memory of short blonde strands of hair sliding between his fingers, a perfect mouth opening against his own, a smooth accent curving a dulcet voice that whispers into his ear. Alex is spinning suddenly, as though he’s in midair and falling, and the nostalgic feeling in his chest is replaced with something far more intense and less pleasant. Alex steps backwards suddenly out of the room and slams the door shut, his breath shuddering and fast, and he rakes his hands through his dark curls as he storms off down the hallway.
Alexander Claremont-Diaz returns to the White House the first day of his presidency, intent on carving a new future for America and laying the ghosts of the previous administration to rest. He stumbles on a ghost of his own, one that's never quite stopped haunting him since the summer of his mother's second campaign.

Summary
Alex wasn’t made to be the type of person that will cook someone breakfast in the morning. Dancing around with someone he loves in his underwear isn’t something he gets to have. He’s awful at remembering anniversaries and inept at thinking of grand romantic gestures. Candlelit dinners, handmade cards, buying flowers—it’s just not what he’s built for.
And that’s fine.
Alex doesn't need any brave hero to save him, and he sure as hell was never meant to be anyone else's prince charming.
That's why this—his thing with Henry—is the perfect solution.

Summary
After Nora bails on their trip, Alex decides (reluctantly) to go alone.
He was the last one on the bus, which meant most of the seats were taken. He scanned the rows until he spotted a familiar head of blond hair. His stomach dropped.
Is that…Henry? Like Prince of England Henry? Like Mr. Perfect? Mr. Uptight-and-Unbearable? Like—Fuck now he’s staring.
Henry looked up, equally horrified to see Alex. “Well,” he said dryly, “this is unexpected.”
Alex groaned. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
Or Alex and Henry fall in love on a European food and wine tour ❤️

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

Summary
“Um. Given you’re not leaving till morning and you’re, you know, incredibly fucking hot. I’m thinking…. we should have sex.” Alex declares. “You know, if you want to.”
“Is that a trick question?”
“No, I’m actually serious.” He utters hesitantly, one hand trailing up and down Henry’s dull grey tie. “And you must know I never do this. I mean…not anymore. But I think this is what a vacation is supposed to be, right?” He questions, refusing to look up from the world’s most uninteresting tie.

Summary
“I love you,” I said again. A desperate declaration, a challenge accepted, a stubborn truth bound to lead me nowhere but my own ruin. “And I know it’s madness, I know it’s impossibly foolish, but I can’t keep pretending I don’t feel what I feel.”
Alex took a step forward, then stopped. He looked at me with an expression that seemed ready to tear me apart, and honestly, I was already nearly in pieces. My legs trembled, and I feared I’d been unforgivably reckless.
“You can’t do this to me,” he whispered, like he was chewing over each word before letting it fall. “How am I supposed to go through with this wedding knowing that—”
He cut himself off, and as he did, so did my breathing.
“You’re going to be there beside me, at that altar, smiling as if you’re proud of me, but it won’t be real.”
“That brings us to the million-dollar question,” my voice sounded steadier than the shake in my hands would suggest. “Do you want me to leave?”

Summary
Henry Fox has moved to America to finish his last year of high school, with his little sister Beatrice and his Mum. He’s estranged from his best friend Percy, and his other best friend June Claremont-Diaz has just moved to Scotland for a semester abroad. Following the death of his father, Henry has truly never felt more alone.
Until an odd meeting in front of a koi fish pond; he meets Alex, the boy with the perfect smile and eyelashes. He’s perfect; after a seemingly brief kiss, they begin emailing, falling for each other. He’s everything Henry wants but can’t have.
Because he’s Alex Claremont-Diaz, as in, his best friend June’s little brother.
Henry quickly seals his love for Alex in a letter, along with the three others in the vintage Earl Grey tin hidden in his closet. He’s fine; he can forget Alex.
Until—the day all of his private love letters are mailed out. Can Henry’s love life get any more complicated?

Summary
bestman!henry, and weddingplanner!alex.
In which Philip is getting married and asks Henry to be his best man. Henry very reluctantly agrees, but what he absolutely does not agree to is being the one stuck dealing with all of the tasks that Philip “simply does not have time for.”
The one thing that his brother did manage to do was hire a wedding planner, Alex, who's not only extremely charming and, well…much too handsome than what should be considered humanly possible but who, for some reason, seems to be doing everything in his power to make the situation more bearable for Henry. What starts out as a bond over their mutual annoyance with Philip and his outrageous requests turns into something completely unexpected and much deeper, and for once, Henry might just have to indulge himself.
or: henry and alex plan a wedding together and just might find love of their own along the way ♥️

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
Alex met the love of his life on vacation in Vegas, two steps away from a couple of Vegas showgirls trying to pawn off photos. They were stunning, but Alex knew the scam, and his attention had already strayed beyond them to a man who had dropped his bag, items splaying all over the strip for drunk or high tourists to stoop down and sweep away with. Alex had dropped to his knees in an attempt to help pick everything up before it was too late.
His hand wrapped around a bottle of sunblock stronger than the sun itself, and then he looked up to hand it over, and, well.
Time stopped.

Summary
Fresh out of law school and fresh out of a relationship, what Alex Claremont-Diaz needs most is a goddamn vacation. He plans to spend his summer on a small island off the coast of Wales, three months of peace and relaxation and figuring out what the hell he actually wants to do with his life. But all that is thrown out the window when he runs into his ex-fling, Henry Fox, who just so happens to be running the hotel he's staying in for the next three months.
Four years prior, Henry Fox meets the most beautiful boy he's ever seen at an NYU party: Alex Claremont-Diaz. Henry soon finds himself whisked away to Texas with Alex, a summer full of poetry and skinny dipping and stolen kisses, and everything is perfect. Almost too perfect for a summer fling. Yet Henry can't stop himself from falling in love with Alex, falling for the lake house and everything Alex loves, even when he knows it's too good to last.
Two summers, two places of falling in love, one filled with memories of the last. It leaves Alex and Henry wondering: is this summer truly going to be their last one together?
