Wrap this wildfire up in silk by vonPeeps

Summary
June was - on occasion - wrong, although Alex knew better than to say this to her face. He didn’t have a fire under his ass. The fire was in his brain, spreading like wildfire in a tinder-dry Texan drought. He had never known how to explain what that was like to her - where she saw things in storyboards, his brain was an ever-expanding web of connections, his attention tripping from thread to thread quicker than most people could follow.
Most of the time, he loved it. When your thoughts move at the speed his do, you can run rings around the privileged white boys who fill the NYU law lectures in a mock trial. Flirty banter is a breeze when you’ve got five different comebacks to pick from. Having four trains of thought running in parallel in your head is a goddamn gift for an aspiring lawyer and politician.
But some days…
Alex has developed some... interesting coping strategies for his ADHD over the years, but he has kept his love of ropes secret from everyone. There are some things that you just can't bring up in polite conversation, even with the love of your life...

Summary
Beep.
Alex was usually a light sleeper, but on the rare nights he slept deeply he crawled to awareness through heavy molasses. Limbs heavy, head muzzy, all he knew was that whoever set that godawful alarm tone was in for a mouthful when he could make the words go again.
Beep.
He peered around the room blearily, not knowing where on the fucking planet he was waking up this time. Not DC. Not Austin. Not Kensington - not nearly enough ridiculous gold furniture. It was too homey for a hotel room, but too bare to be a home. He wracked his brain for his internal agenda, that buzzing to-do list that never ended and… Llynwermod.
Alex is rudely awoken from sleep by the loudest beeping known to mankind. He'd been expecting a lazy morning in bed with his boyfriend, but Henry is nowhere in sight, and the noise just. won't. STOP. Just what in the hell is going on beyond his bedroom door?

Summary
First son Alexander Claremont-Diaz has been missing for an undetermined amount of time - no ransom demands, no clues, just gone. Only he knows what happened to him that night, and how he ended up locked in a cage with no way of demanding his freedom. Enter HRH Princess Beatrice and Prince Henry, here to unwittingly spring him from captivity and set up the most unlikely cohabitation situation known to humankind.
Can Alex and Henry learn to understand each other when Henry is forced to take responsibility for Alex's every need, or will there be blood shed quicker than two shakes of a cat's tail?

The Great Breakfast Experiment by vonPeeps

Summary
Henry likes the rhythm of a morning routine. Even in the deepest grip of insomnia or when his brain was padded with the cotton wool numbness of depression, there’s always been comfort in knowing the steps he will take each day to get from the final snooze of his alarm to something resembling functionality. You don’t need to think when there’s a plan to follow.
Childhood mornings were filled with Bowie and Kate Bush, his parents nudging him step by step from his jim-jams into his school uniform and out to school with laughter, love and the occasional dash back for a forgotten school cap. Eton was cold showers, long dining hall tables and over-stewed tea served lukewarm from massive steel urns. He’d chosen silence and solitude for his mornings at uni and the long blur of his gap year.
And now, it seemed he had chosen to move in with a full-scale hurricane of a human.
Or Henry thrives on his morning routine and Alex wouldn't know a routine if he tripped over one.

Summary
“Sorry, I don’t know the etiquette for accidentally hooking up with your favorite author’s boyfriend, trashing his life, being hired to work on his house, only to then become starstruck with the realization that he is, in fact, your favorite author.”
[Or: Alex gets hired to work on some wheelchair accessible accommodations for a Brooklyn Brownstone. There's just one issue.]

Summary
It really, really shouldn’t be this easy. Not the dynamic, but— Alex.
Henry wants to bathe in it. Wants to keep it locked up just as much as he wants to show it off. Wants to care for it—care for him, wants to round up anyone who’s ever had the pleasure of seeing Alex this way and rip the memory from their greedy, ungrateful, undeserving hands.
Keep it for himself instead, where it’s beginning to feel like it belongs.
+
Henry's always struggled to get past the inevitable road bump of his classification when it comes to finding a partner. In an ideal world, that sort of thing wouldn't matter. He'd be able to walk into a bar and find someone to take home, wouldn't have to bother with anything aside from just good, casual sex between two people— status aside.
He's not really expecting to find that sort of thing at all, but he's certainly not expecting Alex Claremont-Diaz to be the one that makes all of his wildest dreams come true.

Alex's Song by readtolove

Summary
“Alex,” he whispers, “you can kiss me back. Do you still want to?”
How can he explain to Henry how terrifying it suddenly is to want to? Because if he kisses that enchanting mouth, he may never recover.
And then Alex remembers a different version of himself. A younger version, less knocked around by life. That Alex would jump and just hope it wasn’t a cliff.
That Alex has picked himself up off the rocks too many times.
But the alternative is to miss this.
There’s only one Henry in the world: A piano-playing poet who’s making his and Dad’s lives immeasurably better. And he’s waiting, both hands on Alex’s face, to find out if Alex still wants to kiss him.
So he jumps. Again. And if it’s a cliff, he’ll pick himself up off the rocks.
Again.
“Yes,” he whispers, threading his fingers into Henry’s hair, “I still do.”Bookmarked by vonPeeps

Summary
The entire world has it on video. Alex stumbling forward, straight into Henry’s shoulder, knocking him back into the table and then crumbling to the ground, the cake falling on top of them. Everyone thinks Alex was drunk, or that he hates him, or that he’s immature or unfit for his title, but none of it’s the truth. Everyone’s acting like it’s the end of the world regardless.
And maybe, for Alex, it kind of is.

Summary
Of all the ways people have found to make money off soulmates (and they've found a lot) the most widely mocked are soulmate psychics: people who claim they can tell you things about your soulmate before you meet them—for a fee, of course. Bitty's always thought they're total bunk.
Then Bitty gets to Samwell and meets Jack Zimmermann. For a hot second he thinks Jack's his soulmate, but Jack gives no sign that Bitty's his - and treats Bitty like crap, to boot. Maybe there's something to soulmate psychics after all. Maybe Bitty's one of them.
