Summary
“He loves me,” is the first thing Henry says after Arthur asks what’s got him so torn up.
“Okay,” Arthur says, as if it was a given. Mostly because it was.
Henry turns his head to the side, a confused expression on his face. “Okay?”
“Oh,” Arthur stares back, just as confused. “Did we not know this?”
“We?” Henry asks, bewildered.
“I guess not, then.”
or,
5 times Henry tells Arthur about Alex, and 1 time Alex tells Arthur about Henry

No Consequences by AnchoredArchangel

Summary
"I sort of came out as bisexual to both Nora and myself when we were watching that fucking snoozefest of a Royal Wedding years ago, and I told her with no hesitation that you were on my list.”
Suddenly, Henry looks very present in this previously one-sided conversation, eyes boring into him even if he sounds a little choked as he clarifies, “I was on—”
“My No Consequences Sex List,” Alex confirms brazenly. “Yeah."
Or: During an inadvisable spot of dating years back, Alex and Nora made a game out of making extensive lists of celebrities they could hook up with without it being cheating. One breakup and several years later, Alex meets someone on his list for the very first time at a charity gala and decides it's appropriate to tell him all about it.

Summary
On an unseasonably cold August day, journalist Alexander Claremont-Diaz decides to delve into the life of a highly elusive poet. Known for his vague poems and even vaguer marketing strategies, it takes cunning, persistence, and a healthy dose of wit to get to the bottom of the ocean that is Henry James Fox.
Luckily, Alex has always been a good swimmer.

Summary
It started with a tremor in his right hand.
Nothing serious. He’d just been trying to fasten his cufflinks before a speech at Oxford, and his fingers didn’t cooperate. The gold button slipped from his grip and clattered to the floor. He knelt to retrieve it, annoyed more than anything. He didn’t tell anyone. Not then.
That was two years ago.
He was twenty-one.

No matter the timeline, no matter the world—he's Henry, he's Alex, and they always find each other. Sometimes it's messy. Sometimes it's slow. Sometimes it burns too fast, or aches too sweet. But it's always them.

Seeing Red by jafffacakes for caterpills

Summary
Alex doesn't know who is doing it, but he needs it to fucking stop.
He knows, he fucking knows, that he put his recycling in the correct bin when he brought his trash down three days ago.
And he may be a lot of things — loud, outspoken, impossibly charming — but he's not a fucking irresponsible recycler. Please.
His mother raised him right.
So why did he get an email from his landlord this afternoon asking him to take better care when disposing of his recycling? Like he’s a fucking child who can’t tell the red bin from the yellow bin. Or can’t separate paper and plastic from the rest of his household waste.
----
Someone in Alex's apartment building is destroying his reputation by moving his recycling to the trash bins, and he is determined to find out who. (Spoiler: It's Henry.)

Summary
After a few moments of counting, the syrup starts to pull back until Henry can think again. He groans, burying his face in Alex’s neck. “What was that?”
“Yeah, you went under hard,” Alex agrees. Henry hums a question, pressing further into Alex’s side. “Shit baby, was that the first time you dropped?”
“Dropped what?”
“I gotta get you some pamphlets,” Alex says, leaning down to press a kiss to the top of Henry’s head.

Summary
Alex doesn’t feel out of control.
Sure, he’s been going out more, staying out later. Having a lot more sex with a lot more women. That doesn’t mean he needs a fucking babysitter.
The production company disagrees. So now he’s got a sober companion — whatever the fuck that is. Living in his house, following him to the clubs, until the movie wraps.
And the dude is older. He dresses like a librarian, and he hardly even looks up from his book when Alex is getting out of the pool.
None of it makes any sense.
Whatever. He’ll get through the next two months somehow.Bookmarked by lyla_bear

Summary
“Caramelton John, what the fuck, who named these?” the man laughs, his loud voice circling in Henry’s ears, low and rich.
Years of planning and ideas, months of blood, sweat and literal tears to set up shop in a foreign country, and hours of back breaking work to serve the community — for free — on their opening day, all for some ungrateful arse to make fun of him for it. Henry feels his jaw clench involuntarily, the tightness in his mouth matching the ache in his chest. He’s bone tired and frustrated and now he’s unspeakably angry.
Pez, who has saved Henry’s life in more ways than he can count, and who has not asked for a single thing all day, turns and says “Hen, dear, could you serve these last few for me?”
Henry inhales deeply through his nose, turns his back to the customers, before he looks Pez firmly in the eye and says with zero hesitation, “No.”

Summary
The anger he feels boiling in his stomach isn’t Henry’s fault. Really, it’s not. In fact, Alex is probably going to feel terribly later about the way he goes about this.
And it’s a damn shame, too, because Henry’s a culmination of every one of Alex’s types—dirty blonde and strong jawed with eyes he could drown in, broad shoulders and dainty collarbones covered in a shirt that might be a size or two deliberately too tight.
Alex can’t even blame him for it. It’s working wonders. Even his palm looks soft and inviting, tilted up and waiting to be met with his own. When he blinks, his lower lip juts out the tiniest bit.
Alex spins toward Nora, leaves Henry’s hand in the air beside him.
“Is this the only reason you invited me out tonight?”

Summary
"Just, you know," Henry says. "If your mum weren't the president and you were just a normal bloke living a normal life, what things might be like? What you'd be doing instead?"
After being discovered on Instagram as a teenager, Alex Diaz is thriving as a social media influencer and model who just landed a high profile, high fashion contract with Calvin Klein. Alex can get any girl he wants, and he’s loving it. Meanwhile, British poet Henry Fox has just arrived in L.A. to kick off a North American tour promoting his new, steamy book of gay erotic poetry, and he’s attracting a lot of attention.
Bad blood is immediately sparked between them when Henry blows Alex off at their first meeting. Several tabloid rumors and an Instagram tantrum later, Alex and Henry are reluctantly thrust together to make nice, resulting in a grudging friendship and a magnetism between them that Alex can't explain. Why is Henry's poetry making Alex feel like this? And just what is it about Henry Fox that gets to him so much?- Language:

Summary
It happens momentarily, the first time Alex sees him again. Time slows nearly to a stop— never mind the fact that he’s mid-pour; the bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue he’s using as a floater tipped just so, the golden liquid spilling into the rocks glass getting dangerously close to overflowing.
In the back of the crowd, on a typically busy Friday night at Allegory, a flash of blond hair pulls Alex’s attention; which wouldn’t be anything new— Alex has a type— except for the laugh cutting clearly through the murmur of conversations. The bright bubble of incandescent joy that he’s somehow still entirely too familiar with, a laugh he would recognize anywhere, regardless of the number of years since it was last heard.

Summary
The first time it happened, it was a Tuesday.
14 Across: Sherlock Holmes author. 3 letters.
Well that’s easy, Arthur Conan Doyle.
Alex raced through the rest of the crossword, a fairly simple one even for a Tuesday. There was a Jane Austen clue that might have stumped him a few weeks ago, but he'd borrowed June's copy of Persuasion last time he stayed overnight at her place, so he'd have something to read on his longer commute to work that day.
