50 first dates by ninzied for quill_and_ink

Summary
The guy grins and walks up to Henry. He sticks his hand in Henry’s face for a fist bump and says, “Hey bro, it’s Vincent. We went on a date here the other week.”
“Err—right,” Henry says, looking awkward. “Can I help you with something, Vincent?”
“I’m here to shoot my shot again,” Vincent says confidently. “I just feel like we really could’ve connected if—”
Which is when Alex slides his chair over, slings an arm around the back of Henry’s seat and says, “Sorry, bro, but he’s already taken.”
-
In which the hot guy at the coffee shop keeps bringing all his first dates there when Alex is just trying to study. His name, not that Alex is eavesdropping (much), is Henry. Henry likes dogs and his tea with a splash of Jane Eyre and honestly Alex would make a way better first date for him than all those other guys combined. When one of Henry’s old dates shows up uninvited, Alex is only too happy to prove his point.

Summary
Three weeks before Henry Fox's tour for his fourth, highly anticipated, awards-bait novel A Brief War in December begins, his publicist Janella breaks her foot on a bunny slope at Windham.
Alex can't be mad at her, even though he kind of is. Saying it out loud would be like kicking her when she was down, and she already went down a literal mountain in the worst way possible.
Now crammed in Rafael Luna's corner office, Janella is shooting Alex extremely apologetic looks while slumped on her crutches, wearing a bright orange cast. The conversation about who is going to be joining Henry Fox on his multi-city trek across the U.S. is also going downhill. Alex is feeling the same sort of free fall while standing still.
Because out of all the publicists available in their tiny underfunded department, the only one left to escort their company's best-selling author is regrettably him.
The problem is, well, Alex absolutely hates Henry Fox.
Or: Alex is the publicist for Mountchristen Publishers, and is stuck on a two-week tour with their best-selling, but frustrating, author Henry Fox.

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.

Summary
“Honestly, I don’t know what came over me. But aren’t you the one who kept telling me to live my life? So here I am, doing just that.”
“By pretending to be someone’s boyfriend??”
Alec sighs. “Look, Izzy. I– I can’t just leave him, okay? The lie was already said, and you didn’t see his reaction earlier. He was so relieved and comforted to have a loving boyfriend taking care of him. I can’t take that away from him in his vulnerable state. I’ll just pretend until his memories come back.”
“And what if they don’t?”
“The doctor is positive that the amnesia is just temporary. Besides, his eyes will be uncovered in about four to five weeks, so regardless, he’ll be able to find out the truth by then.”
“And what would you tell him then?”
Alec sighs again, his head beginning to ache. “I don’t know. I’ll think about it. But for now, he’s relieved and happy. And Izzy, I… I want to finally live before I die. To be reckless. To be happy. To love and be loved."
Or, Alec saves a stranger and falls in love, thinking it will be temporary… And ends up with forever.

Summary
“You told the hotel it’s our honeymoon.”
Alex shrugs, in that carefree and charming way he does, as if certain no reasonable person could ever be mad at him.
Henry couldn’t.
The thought of spending a week sleeping alongside Alex and not being able to reach out and touch him — to caress his skin or to run his fingers through Alex’s hair while he sleeps, admiring the way his unruly curls will fall over the pillow – is a tragedy.
This will be torture.
Slow, painful, torture. Like someone had peeked inside Henry’s brain and picked the most painful possible way to torment him, tailored and customised specifically for him.
-----
While on vacation together in Hawaii, Alex tells the resort it's their honeymoon so they can get a free upgrade. Pretending to be married is fine, until it's not, and Henry has to confront his feelings for his best friend of 20 years.

Summary
From the credit card slots, she pulled a slim pale blue card with neat, deep green writing on it. She slid it across the table to Alex, Nora very obviously studying him as he picked it up, read it, and turned it over in his hands. It wasn’t a flashy little missive – short, straight to the point, diplomatic even.

Summary
That day at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Alex comes across the very same Prince Henry who just dismissed him having a panic attack in a bathroom. The choice Alex makes then has ripple effects neither of them could have ever expected. What's the story like, when they actually are friends all along?
“So, you’re going back to England tonight, and you’ll spend the next three days pretending you two are the closest and best of friends until we can put this mess behind us.”
And there are reasons he hasn’t told anybody this, good reasons, even though he’s sure June and Nora saw through him ages ago. Faced with his mom’s disappointment, though, and with the realization that the entire world apparently thinks he hates Henry and would willingly shove him into a fucking cake, he can’t stay quiet.
“But we are friends,” he says, vehement and serious. “We have been for years. He’s—he’s probably my best friend, actually, along with Nora.”

Summary
Look, and see, a world that holds more
wonder than any since Earth was born.Of all who reigned, none had renown,
Like the boy who pulled sword from stone…
But this is not that king.
Nor is not his son…Let me tell you a new tale,
laid down just as I have heard it told.
Its words inked, its letters pressed,
in outline of adventure brave and bold.His song — green, clever, wild, and gold.
Forever set in blood, in stone,
Like all great myths of old…
_______________________________________An AU inspired by The Green Knight (2021) and Gawain & The Green Knight. In which Alex is Gawain, Arthur is king, and Henry is a fox.

Summary
Alex has a habit of feeling like he's always running late or falling behind somehow, which he's pretty sure is just par for the course, being the parent of a teenager. Some days, he still feels like a kid. Like he's learning along with her.
It takes vulnerability, a shit-ton of ice cream, and a crush that makes him feel like he's in high school all over again to remind him that maybe that isn't such a bad thing.

Summary
“Gay?” Edwin tilted his head to the side. In his experience, homosexuality was far from gay. The chanting of Mary Ann had been the macabre lullaby that his killers had sung him to death with; Edwin had undergone decades of torture, he suspected, as a direct result of his suspected inclinations. No, there was no joy in being a homosexual, in Edwin’s opinion. Charles was simply using odd language again.
“Yeah. It means, like… you know. When two blokes fancy each other, they’re gay.”
“Oh.” Edwin pivoted to face Charles. “So, gay is something of a synonym for homosexual, then?”
“Yeah.” Charles grinned. “Yeah, it is.”
“An odd linguistic choice, I must say. Back in my day, gay meant that someone was quite happy.”
“Well, those chaps look happy, don’t they? So, I don’t know. Maybe it isn’t too far off the mark.”

Or, the five times Edwin learned more about homosexuality (and the one time he was happy that the concept applied to him.)- Language:

Summary
"Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"
"Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"
Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.
It was a little girl.
"Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"
"Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."
Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.

Summary
When Alex meets Henry, the first thing he thinks is that Henry does in fact smell like a library. But like a really nice library, with a tea shop and tons of natural light, and rows upon rows of leather-bound books. Maybe one of those rolling ladders, too, with a super hot librarian on the bottom rung.
Anyone with eyes and a nose would easily come to the same conclusion.
.
Or, Alex’s new roommate smells nice. Like really nice, objectively speaking.

Summary
"A fixer upper wasn’t in the cards, or the budget. Alex’s life wasn’t a cozy little rom-com or an HGTV pilot show. He was simply an internationally-employed lawyer with a bit of a slush fund, hopelessly in love with a stone cottage outside Sheffield. Someone needed to give it care, so why not him?
The realtor and the bank had left out a key bit when Alex had signed on the dotted line. The cottage had been empty, but it wasn’t abandoned. There was technically an owner. An owner who was now glaring daggers at Alex over the stone fence on a rainy Sunday morning."
___________Henry + Alex fix up a cottage together. The internet decides that they're dating.

Summary
“You read anything good recently?”
“I’m currently re-reading Pride and Prejudice?” Henry offers, and phrases it as a question because he’s a dimwit.
“Ya, that checks out,” Alex says, cocking an eyebrow. “But I’m looking for something that’s, I dunno, actually fun. You got any recommendations?”
Alex gives him a smile, like this is just the kind of thing you ask a librarian. Henry supposes that actually, it probably is.
“Right, well, I can probably help with that too.” Henry grabs another scrap of paper, scribbles down The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue and pushes it over to Alex. “Since you seem like the kind of person who thrives on debauchery and general lawlessness.”
_____________
A 5 +1 where Henry’s a librarian who flirts via book recommendation, and one time Alex flirts back.
