Summary
In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.
Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.
-
Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

Look.
Buck would like to state for the record that it was not his fault.

Summary
He broke Buck’s heart.
He knows it. Knows it like he knows the weight of his own turnout gear, like he knows the precise way to steady himself when the ground gives way beneath him. It’s a fact, a simple and devastating truth that follows him everywhere, no matter how much distance he puts between them.
What happened in that bathroom, Buck pushing him against the door, kissing him like it was the only way to make sure it had been real, that wasn’t some desperate attempt to get Eddie to come back. It wasn’t even about convincing Eddie to be with him, not really. It was Buck needing to know, to feel it, to confirm that Eddie had been there, that Eddie had wanted it, that it hadn’t all been some fever dream conjured up by his hopelessly romantic, self destructive heart.
And, maybe, just a little, it was about hurting Eddie because Eddie hurt him first. Which, God, isn’t that just heartbreaking?
Or; Eddie and Buck have sex the night before he moves back to El Paso for good.
Each chapter follows a year in Eddie’s life as he makes his way back to Buck.

Summary
“They just follow it around, copying it and helping it and bothering it so much that it's like, worn down into loving the duckling back and looking out for it.”
“So,” said Eddie, furrowing his brow. “In this scenario, you are—”
“A baby duckling, newly hatched into the world with no idea what’s going on.”
“And I am—”
“The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes.”
----
Eddie has no idea how to cope when a temporary case of amnesia causes the return of Buck 1.0. Buck has no clue why his future self hasn't made the moves on his hot best friend. It all goes pretty well, considering.

Summary
Jane Austen already touched on the first “truth universally acknowledged” in Pride and Prejudice: that wealthy men are always on the hunt for a wife.
The second, and more accurate truth, is that people who cut in line deserve ten years in fucking prison.

Summary
The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.
“God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”
Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

Let Loose Your Glow by athousandrooms for clottedcreamfudge
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
12 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom: Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
11 Aug 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an NDA, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them, and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Summary
Alex gets the call at 7:57am.
It’s from an unknown number, so he answers it with an accent on his tongue and laughter in his throat, ready to troll the scammer for all they’re worth. But the voice on the other side of the line is serious, solemn, when she asks, “Is this, I apologize, all I’ve been given are initials, AGCD?”
He frowns, turning away from the coffee shop he’d been about to enter. “Who’s asking?”
There’s a moment of hesitation on the other end. “There’s been an incident. On the individual's phone, there’s a sticker. It says, if found, return to AGCD, alongside this phone number. Does it sound familiar?”
Alex freezes in the middle of the sidewalk. “What kind of incident?”
--
Or, Henry's been in an accident.

Summary
It has been three years since they were outted and Henry and Alex have finally settled into a groove that works well for them, except for the fact that it feels like they're always having to steal time together. Queen Mary constantly coming up with excuses to get Henry out of public events with Alex isn't helping, and Alex is done with it. After a long conference in Tokyo that Henry couldn't attend, Alex's flight home being delayed is the last straw and he calls Henry to say they need to figure out a better way to do this, to which Henry agrees. But fate has other ideas. Alex's flight goes missing somewhere over the Pacific, no trace of it to be found, leaving Henry and Alex's family struggling to not lose hope while unable to do anything.

Summary
“So, Wille,” Erik turns to him. “Do tell me how you walked into this store not 20 minutes ago to buy some Takis and Oreos, and I found you on the floor kissing some—and no offense, Simon—but, some random boy in the chips aisle with some sort of canned vegetable collection around you?"
“Umm…”
~~~
Or: Wilhelm never went to Hillerska and doesn’t meet Simon until the two happen to run into each other at a grocery store one day. Maybe love at first sight isn’t so much of a myth as they both thought.

Summary
Simon Eriksson does not have a crush on Wilhelm. Because Wilhelm is a goddamn Prince of Sweden and also, in all likelihood, straight. Right? So of course he doesn't. Except he's totally lying to himself. And maybe there's hope after all. Because as they get closer and Wille opens up more and more, Simon begins to think that there may be a teeny tiny chance that Wille is queer. If you squint.
It's a good thing they both know how to use their words.
---------
Off-canon either after the football match or from the very beginning, depending on your interpretation. No trauma happening on-screen. Just teenagers being riduculous(ly in love). Wilhelm blushes a lot.

Summary
Simon winced with guilt as Wille’s wide eyes traced his laptop. “Crown Prince Wilhelm Denies Involvement in Viral Sex Video” glared back, and Wille blinked, stepping away from the screen, away from Simon, away from the sting of betrayal.
Years later, Wilhelm comes home to find Simon watching his old speeches.
