    Summary

    “Who did this to you?” Henry demands two days later when they meet for lunch.

    He’s looking directly at Alex’s jaw where he’d done a shitty job of covering the bruise from the fight with some of Nora’s concealer he’d stolen, which definitely wasn’t the right shade but was all he could get his hands on last minute.

    Well. Alex can’t exactly say it was him, can he?

    +

    or, alex has a hard time telling his real life sort-of boyfriend henry that their superhero alter egos don't get along so well.

    Summary

    Just because Henry can't get pregnant; doesn't mean Alex can't try.

    This fic is a gift for my dearest Leika who came up with the base idea for this, and I jokingly said 'I'll write it for your birthday'. I don't think it's a joke anymore. Anyway, happy almost birthday, darling<3

    Summary

    “Now, I don’t know about you, but I distinctly remember telling you to stay.”

    “Sorry,” she said, not sounding very sorry at all. Henry made a mental note to teach her how to at least pretend to be contrite.

    “You’re… she - you can speak English?”

    Henry looked up. The man was turned towards him now. His eyes were the first thing Henry noticed. Wide and a deep brown, with impossibly long and dark eyelashes that seemed to touch his cheeks every time he blinked. And his mouth - it was open now in surprise and disbelief, but it was perfectly curved and bitten pink, and Henry had no problem picturing it curled into a smirk. A handsome serial killer, then.

     

    Single dad Henry loses his daughter at the Met and ends up finding more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.

    To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.

    (Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)
