    Henry plays piano for a night of insomnia and it turns into a dream. He never thought he'd have a lot of things, but piano had always been there for him, when nothing else was. Alex is a comfort, and a constant, and a never-ending lifeline. Henry never imagined he'd have that either.

    Summary

    Dating a prince is hard. Dating a prince when you're the son of the President is even harder.

    Alex is done with barely seeing Henry. When Henry gets sick while in London, Alex decides to take matters into his own hands.

    (And if he ends up with a fiance at the end of it, even better.)

    PRESIDENT’S SON AND PRINCE OF ENGLAND FALL IN SOUL SLEEP AT IDENTICAL TIMES

    Yesterday at exactly 12:23 PM in Austin, TX, Alex Claremont-Diaz faints while giving a speech to young voters.

Watch these two clips of Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry side by side and see for yourself! The whole world is left wondering: coincidence or soulmates?

     

    ————————————————

    Summary

    "And that's when Henry knows: He doesn't ever want to go back."

    --

    "This is very formal," she says eventually. "Sending a request for an audience with your grandmother."

    "Yes, well, this needs to be done formally," Henry says, "it needs to be done right."

    And in that moment Henry sees his mother stiffen a little beside him and he knows she's realised. She's put the pieces together. If he's not here to ask for permission to marry then—

    Henry takes a deep breath, rolls his shoulders back to lift him up to full height, and draws on all the courage he can muster. "I have come to inform you that I wish to abdicate," he says, just as he'd written and rehearsed, "and I would therefore like to petition Parliament as soon as possible."

    --

    Title is from Alexander Hamilton's letter on foreign policy. Because what else could I use?

    Summary

    Alex thinks he’s prepared – as prepared as he’ll ever be. He’s been waiting for months to do this. He even did his research on the proper etiquette for a British royal engagement – and then promptly ignored it all.

    AKA: The one with the engagement of the century.

    Summary

    Henry shrugs off his suit jacket and tie, looking his usual annoyingly handsome self while Alex stifles a yawn in spite of the amount of caffeine in his system.

    “You’re a sight for sore eyes,” Henry says, looking all kinds of fond. Alex feels a little ridiculous in his tousled hair, glasses and the ratty NYU sweatshirt, but finds an answering warmth spreading through him anyway as he lets himself be kissed hello.

    “Hi, sweetheart,” he says, leaning back into the chair while Henry leans against the desk.

    Summary

    Alex's first day of college in one list:
    1. His roommate is tall, blonde, and has the most shocking blue eyes Alex has ever seen.
    2. His bisexuality may be more than strictly hypothetical.
    3. His new roommate - Henry - is awful.
    4. Alex is about to have a serious problem.

    Summary

    Henry moves to New York City to help Pez with the opening of his new bar in the East Village. The location—fortunately for business, but unfortunately for Henry’s sanity—is directly across the street from a fire station. The sound of sirens is bad, Alex the gorgeous firefighter is worse. But when Alex helps Henry avoid a near catastrophe the night of the bar’s opening, the two form a tentative friendship that starts to develop into something more.

    Summary

    It has been three years since they were outted and Henry and Alex have finally settled into a groove that works well for them, except for the fact that it feels like they're always having to steal time together. Queen Mary constantly coming up with excuses to get Henry out of public events with Alex isn't helping, and Alex is done with it. After a long conference in Tokyo that Henry couldn't attend, Alex's flight home being delayed is the last straw and he calls Henry to say they need to figure out a better way to do this, to which Henry agrees. But fate has other ideas. Alex's flight goes missing somewhere over the Pacific, no trace of it to be found, leaving Henry and Alex's family struggling to not lose hope while unable to do anything.

    Summary

    Alex had always thought the entire story of hidden princess in a tower could not be more than a fairytale.

    Until he met the hidden Prince of England, Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.

    Or:

    Henry is chronically-ill, and has been hidden from the public's eye since he was a baby. As his difficulties grew, Bea fought all the way to Buckingham Palace to get him proper full-time treatment, and improve his quality of life. That is how Doctor Alex Claremont-Diaz ends up hired (after signing an extensive nda) to take care of the young Prince of England. What he doesn't expect is how much the young Henry Fox would take over his heart.

    My [21M] flatmate [20M] gives me forehead kisses when he thinks I'm asleep. How do I ask him to do it when I'm awake, too?

    Henry and Alex are roommates quarantined together. Henry takes to Reddit when Alex's behavior gets too confusing for him to sort out on his own. Surely this will have zero impact on their completely platonic relationship, right?

    Summary

    "I love you," Henry whispers reverently like the words are ripped out from his throat before he could swallow them, and the look of devastation on his face is so strong that Alex feels his breath stutter.

    "I'm sorry. I tried to stop, Alex. I really did. I tried to distance myself, tried to lock these feelings away. I don't want to ruin our friendship. I get it if you want some space after this. I just. I don't know, you had to know, darling. All this time, Alex, you had to know."

    Alex knows they're on the edge of something historic that could change their lives forever. Alex wants to say something prophetic. Something meaningful. Something about how they're inevitable, how they'd find each other in every single universe, how they're meant to be. He wants to tell Henry he loves him too. That there's nothing to be afraid of, nothing to ruin.

    Instead, what comes out is, "So. Um, sweetheart, is this a bad time to tell you I've literally, like, planned out our wedding on Pinterest?"

    Summary

    Henry stares at the clock, willing it to move faster. He squints his eyes, as if he has super powers, and thinks, you will move faster. But the second hand ticks once to the left, and the hour and minute hands barely move if at all. He shifts his chin, glares at it. Nothing. Sighing, he flops back on his pillow and stares up at the ceiling.

    This was the absolute dumbest idea. Nevermind that it had been his. That little detail was not of import.

    The ceiling is ornate, as one would expect from the illustrious hotel they’re staying in. Bloody grand, is what it is. Too much, he’d said, we don’t need all that . But Percy and Bea had dismissed him, and now he’s here. Staring at the ornate ceiling, unable to sleep, despite desperately wishing he could just sleep the next twelve hours away so that he could be standing in front of Alex again.

    He rolls over on his side, stares at the bathroom door; also needlessly fancy. He’s spent his life living in palaces, and even he’s looking at this place thinking, that’s a bit much, yeah?

    --
    Or, it's the night before Alex and Henry's wedding.

    “You’re a law student?”

    “Yeah. What about it?”

    “Don’t you have your own library?”

    “I can’t study there,” he says, dismissive. “Too many assholes.”

    “Interesting,” Henry says dryly. “I’d think you’d feel right at home.”

     -or-

    AU where Henry is a Ph.D student, Alex is a law student, and there's a lot of flirting, boys being stupid, a fake date, misunderstandings, and sexy times to top it all off.

    Summary

    “Henry,” Cash’s voice called from the other side of the closed door to their brownstone, and something in his voice set goosebumps to Henry’s skin. “You need to come with me. It’s Alex.” Henry had gotten up from the piano immediately and flung the door open, wearing nothing but a ratty old t-shirt and sweatpants. “What is it?” he asked, dread creeping down his spine in a slithering motion. “There’s been an accident.”

    Or: Henry's day after Alex is in a car crash, not knowing whether or not he'll make it.

    Summary

    He looks up when the door opens, dark eyes wide and wild, but Henry would know them anywhere. Would know every curve and angle of this face, even with the heavy stubble obscuring the dimple in his chin, even with the dark circles beneath his eyes, even with the greyish cast to his usually-warm brown skin that is, frankly, terrifying.

    Alex?

    “Took you fucking long enough,” he groans, then stumbles past Henry into the flat, leaving a trail of bloody footsteps behind in his wake.

    (When a certain beautiful, antagonistic detective shows up bleeding on his doorstep in the middle of the night, Henry's ability to deal with his attraction is put to the test.)
