Summary
“Gran sat me down the day I finished my A levels and made it abundantly clear I was not to let anyone know about any deviant desires I might be beginning to harbor that might reflect poorly upon the crown, and there were appropriate channels to maintain appearances if necessary.”
Shaan approaches Henry with a deal from the Queen: agree to an arranged marriage with a woman to flaunt in public, and he can enjoy the services of a male escort in private. Alex comes storming into Henry’s life with sparkling brown eyes, a mischievous smirk, and a challenge, and Henry struggles to maintain control of his emotions as boundaries begin to blur.
Alex doesn’t actually care about him; it’s just a job. Right?

The Prince, actually by editzbypri

Summary
Alex dashed into the cafe, instantly enveloped by the warm smell of coffee. He joined the line, knowing Tuesdays usually brought a crowd at this hour. Just as he was about to step up to the counter, a middle-aged Indian man stepped up, "Excuse me," he said just as a tall blond guy cut in line before Alex.
Alex, annoyed by the air of entitlement, waved his finger in front of the blond guy's face. "Nuh-uh dude, you can't just cut in line."
"Is there a problem?" the Indian man asked calmly.
"Of course, there's a problem," Alex snapped. "Who do you think you are? The queen of England or something?"
The blond guy blinked, looking taken aback. "The prince, actually."
or When a guy cuts in line for coffee, Alex never expects it to be Prince Henry of Wales.
Based on a rizcriz prompt.

anything could happen (during a snowstorm) by slxthenry

Summary
“Please tell me you are on the way. Things are awkward enough as it is.” Alex lets out a broken whine, fidgeting his knee up and down. Anxiety crawling his way up his throat, knowing how antsy he gets when things don't go his way. Clearly.
June lets out a long disappointing sigh, “We are stranded at the airport. Apparently a snowstorm blew in and no cars are going in and out until things clear up. It could be hours… could be days.”
Or, Alex and Henry are alone during a snowstorm, tensions escalate quickly

Summary
“He gets over his initial nerves about making conversation fairly quickly, realizing that he has nothing to lose as long as he’s completely anonymous. But Alex still doesn’t really know how to reply to low-effort photos of dicks.
One day, he opens a message to a particularly poorly lit photo of a half-hard cock with minimal grooming. Before he can think twice, Alex replies, ‘2/10, no thank u’ and suddenly, he has his answer.”
Or, Alex rates dicks on Grindr, and Henry has the perfect cock.

with all these nights we're spending (my broken bones are mending) by theprinceandagcd
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston, Red White & Royal Blue (2023)

Summary
It’s unexpected, and the softness that Prince Henry maintains is a shock to his system.
It makes him want to say something, even if it’s only to ask how his day was or to request an explanation for why he spent nearly fifteen fucking minutes looking at Cupid and Psyche with a forlorn look in his eyes. When he moves on, Alex gazes up at the sculpture and tries to discern the magic that must have captured the prince’s attention, but he comes up with no answers.
Which makes him want to ask more.
But he isn’t supposed to.
----
Or, Alex is the new V&A night guard and Henry is the prince that Alex has been explicitly instructed to leave alone.- Language:

Summary
The email arrives 8 days after Henry left the lake house. He contemplates deleting it without reading, but it sits in his Alex inbox, where there are over seventy emails favourited, and somehow it feels wrong and weirdly impersonal.
As if leaving without a note were any different.
He stares at the from line with an aching longing that seeps into his veins. It settles on his heart like a tangible thing; something warranted and cruel that casts shackles around the aorta and locks them tight so that he might never love again.

Summary
“ACD!” He snaps to attention, jerking his gaze towards a guy from his Econ class. “You’re up, man! Got anything to confess?”
He frowns, glancing back towards the doorway.
It has been his secret for close to a year now. And, it has been spiraling around in his head more incessantly lately.

Summary
“Where are you going?”
Henry freezes where he’s standing over his overnight bag, fingers still clasped around the tug on the zipper. His eyes slide closed of their own accord, dread pooling low in his gut. This was not how this was supposed to go. Alex is a deep sleeper, he should’ve been out the door and on a plane back to London long before he ever woke up. Not just for Henry’s sake, but for both of theirs.
This was not a conversation Henry wanted to have.

Or, Alex wakes up before Henry can sneak out.

Summary
Alex hears him, loud and clear, but it’s like his words are suddenly shallow and hollow, coming in bits and pieces as they funnel through one ear and out the other, and he swears he’s listening, swears he’s trying to hang onto every word out of his boyfriend's mouth, but that white hot static is louder than ever. His brain feels fuzzy and his eyes blur and whether it’s from unshed tears he hasn’t noticed yet or for another reason completely, he isn’t sure.
He isn’t sure how he got from point A to point B, but all he knows is suddenly he can’t breathe.
Suddenly, he’s six feet under, water encasing his lungs as they shrivel and expand into nothing.Or: Alex and Henry get into a fight, and the only way out is through panicking

When Henry and him cross paths at a certain wedding with an overpriced cake, what if Alex is the one always trying to run away?

Summary
Henry opens his eyes, slams his thumb on the answer button and waits to hear Alex’s voice for the first time in three months, excluding the numerous interviews he’s watched of him. Only, he’s met with silence; the quiet echo of soft breathing stretching out between the ocean that separates them.
He bites his bottom lip. “Alex?”
There’s a soft inhale.
“No.”

Summary
Alex looks at him, like Henry’s a speck of dirt on his pristine chinos. “Why would June send you to check up on me?”
“Because I’m her best friend and you’re her brother?”
“I always said she has bad taste.”
“Well,” Henry smiles. It feels as placid on his face as it probably looks. “I would say the same thing, but family doesn’t account for one’s taste, unfortunately.”
in which henry fox is june’s childhood best friend and alex claremont-diaz is june’s younger brother. as the years pass, they tolerate each other at best and are downright destructive at worst. until they begin falling into each other's beds.

Summary
“The queen wants to show that the Prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.”
“It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?”
Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.”
Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone."
It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend.
It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead.

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
He hasn’t heard from him in almost a year.
Hesitant, he says, “Henry?”
There’s a sniffle. “Alex.”
Alex’s shoulders go taut with tension; he may not have heard from him in a year and had only seen him in tabloids and the occasional interview or ribbon cutting on a shitty stream that Alex had no business being on, but he hasn’t forgotten Henry’s tells. He hasn’t forgotten the edge to his voice on his dark days; the way it clings to the very molecules of air surrounding him, as if it wishes to seep into every ounce of air he dares breathe in.
Alex swallows, sets his highlighter down. “Henry,” he says carefully, “what’s going on?”
-
Or, a year after Henry tells Alex to leave, he does something unthinkable.
