Summary
Prince Henry calls a phone sex hotline using a fake name.
He’s lonely and porn isn’t doing it and sometimes he just wants to be talked to.
He never expects an American to answer.
He definitely doesn’t expect an American to ruin him with just his voice, either. And he never imagines that this stranger’s voice would change his life forever.

Summary
Prince Henry is somehow both everything and nothing like Alex expected him to be. He looks perfect, even though he is staring at his phone when Alex enters the room and takes a seat far out of the way.
And then Prince Henry looks up, his eyes darting around as if he has no clue where he is, and lands on Alex’s face. There’s nothing there, though. No curiousness, no interest, no disdain, not a shimmer of any emotion. Prince Henry just looks at him with a blank stare until Mrs Hughes takes it upon herself to introduce Alex.
“Henry,” the man responds. His eyes widen for a second before his face falls into a closed expression and says: “pleasure,” as if it’s anything but, and looks away.
Right.
Rude.---
Life has been throwing many challenges at Alex. The biggest one so far is becoming a single father. That might change, now that Alex has started a job as a solicitor for His Royal Highness Prince Henry.
Prince Henry turns out to be different than Alex thought at first, and it doesn’t take long for them to become friends.
But is that all they can be?---

Summary
Expectation and preparation are not remotely the same thing.
That’s the thought that flashes through Henry’s mind when his phone rings, Coach Chen displayed on the screen.
Henry had been expecting the call ever since hearing that Westbrook was smashed into his own goal at the game against Milwaukee yesterday. But he was in no way prepared for hearing the words in the light of day.
“You’re getting called up.”

Summary
She sends him a link to a Tweet from @espnf1: “Henry Fox, the current runner-up in the driver standings and the son of racing legend Arthur Fox, to leave Windsor. Next year, he will be driving for Ferrari.”
Alex doesn’t even have the time to process before he’s clicking on the link, going directly to Twitter to find out what the fuck is going on.
Ferrari’s decided to replace Alex's retiring teammate with Henry Fox. Alex’s fucking nemesis.

Summary
"So," Henry says as Alex's brain makes a valiant effort to reboot because he's staring at Henry fucking Fox, the man he has spent the better part of a decade staring at through a small author's photo. It doesn't even begin to do him justice and he's only now fully realising it, "your daughter is a fan of my work?"
"Huge," Alex chokes out, struggling to not make a fool out of himself. "Dragged me here."
Henry raises an eyebrow, face utterly amused as he says, "Really? Because I could have sworn I just heard her tell Issa that her 'lame dad' forced her to come here."
"Huh,”Alex says, "Kids, am I right?"
Alex's daughter is growing up, a fact he is entirely not okay with.
She's becoming a teenager, thinks he's the most boring, lamest dude alive and wants nothing to do with the traditions they had while she was growing up - especially reading Henry Fox's books.
But when Henry Fox begins a reading programme at their local library, she is sat in the front row. Because she wants to be, not because Alex is forcing her. Not because Alex is slightly in love with a man he's never met, the first person to actually see him.
Obviously.

Summary
What does a decent person do when their long-time friend asks them if their twenty-three year-old child can stay with them for a while? Because they’re fresh out of rehab, and vulnerable, and in need of some stability? A decent person says yes, of course—which is exactly what Henry did. In fact, he was kind of looking forward to having someone else in the house—he loves David, and he goes down to the shelter a few times a week—he’s hardly a recluse, but being an author isn’t exactly affording him much of a social life—not that he often minds it all too much. However—someone in his house to talk to who also talks back had sounded like a fine trade for helping a young man through a hard time.
Only—then Alex walked into his life.

Summary
Alex is only downloading Grindr because he’s curious. It doesn’t fucking mean anything, right? And when he answers a call for help from a very hot neighbour – who has no business having a shoulder-to-waist ratio like that – he’s just being friendly. It definitely doesn’t mean that he’s going to discover things about himself that he’d assumed were just passing curiosity.

Summary
“I have an idea,” Nora pipes up, the siblings turning their collective attention on her as a shower of rainbow glitter drifts to the ground at her feet. “How about you find someone to spend the evening with? Just pick someone who draws you in, whether it’s vibes or looks or whatever, and ask them to be your date tonight.”
“I don’t need a date,” Alex retorts.
“No, but you want one, don’t you? You’re always complaining about being our third wheel. So go find a fourth and make it a whole car,” Nora teases, squeezing Alex’s cheek. He swats her hand away and throws up his middle finger. “I’m not asking you to pick out wedding rings. Just find a hot stranger in a mask to grind on for the night.”

Law student Alex Claremont-Diaz is dragged to a local up and coming gay bar to celebrate the New Year with his sister and best friend, where he meets the standoffish owner Henry Fox and asks him to spend a no strings attached evening with him.

Summary
“I picture myself in a small house by the sea, overlooking the water. Writing and reading all day and taking David on long walks and swimming every day. Somewhere really quiet, where there’s not a lot of people. And where nobody thinks of me as Henry Mountchristen.”
———
Fed up of working under his grandmother, Henry quits his job in London, dropping everything for a writer’s life by the sea. He’s desperate to focus on his work and produce something worthy, but a mouthy American with a beautiful smile and a chin dimple has other plans.
———
This fic is fully written and clocking in at around 75k. I’m going to try to update on Saturdays and Wednesdays until we’re done, hopefully bringing us to the end of one long, gay summer ✌️
*UPDATE: this is now complete and safe to binge 😊

Summary
As Alex is cleaning up the table Henry vacated, he finds a crumpled piece of paper left behind, and quirks his eyebrow in surprise. Henry has never before left trash outside of his tray. Maybe he really was out of it today. Alex did notice that he looked worse for wear earlier – his voice was very quiet when he ordered, there were darker bags under his eyes, he moved lethargically, and he looked paler than usual.
Picking up the crumpled piece of paper, Alex notices that it looks like a page from a fancy notebook. His curiosity prevailing, he opens and smooths it out.
Dear Orion,
I wish I could see you.Or, Alex goes to London to escape his own problems and falls in love with a handsome man with sad blue eyes.

Summary
The black leather book looks enticingly at Alex from where it has dropped mere minutes ago. It is laying on the floor like Tom Riddle’s cursed diary and Alex’s feeling like he’s going to Ginny Weasly the fuck out of it.
The urge, the compulsion to take it and snoop around is like a constant buzzing sound in his head. The evil Kermit if you will. Take it, take a quick glance. Pick it up.
Alex knows he shouldn’t. He really fucking shouldn’t. It is wrong and immoral and even if he hates Henry, he’s not going to take the leather bound journal he dropped and read it.
OR
What would happen if Alex stumbled upon Henry's journal at his first night in Kensington?

Summary
Almost ten years ago, Alex did a full year at Oxford as an exchange student, and his life changed forever. Not only did he realize life in politics was probably not for him, but that his hypothetical bisexuality was anything but hypothetical. Now as a law professor at NYU, he would have never expected the new hot English professor to turn out to be his bisexual awakening, Henry Fox-Mountchristen. However, when he overhears the man complaining about seeing Alex again, he decides the man is not worth his time and accept that he was just a dumb crush baby bi Alex had years ago. Oh, but it won’t be the first time Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz has been wrong about well… anything.
