    Summary

    “You didn’t.”

    Pez beams down at him. “I didn't do what, darling?”

    “Tell me you didn’t get stuck in a tree just to call the fire department here.”

    “I didn’t get stuck in a tree just to call the fire department here.”

    Henry’s shoulders slump in relief. “Oh good–”

    “I got stuck in a tree just to call Alex here. Semantics.”

    Or; Alex is a firefighter and Pez is the best matchmaker around.

    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

    Henry had been very pleased to discover that Alex and Nora were also a shoeless household, but he’d stared at the SHOES OFF, PANTS OPTIONAL mat at their door for longer than strictly advised because, well. Pants means something different where he’s from, all right, and Alex had been standing right there and the corresponding visual was not—well it wasn’t—Henry was not equipped to deal with it at the moment. Or ever, really, for that matter.

    .

    Or, Henry likes his routines, and his neighbor Alex likes to wreck them just the right amount.

    Summary

    The first time it happened, it was a Tuesday.

    14 Across: Sherlock Holmes author. 3 letters.

    Well that’s easy, Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Alex raced through the rest of the crossword, a fairly simple one even for a Tuesday. There was a Jane Austen clue that might have stumped him a few weeks ago, but he'd borrowed June's copy of Persuasion last time he stayed overnight at her place, so he'd have something to read on his longer commute to work that day.

    Henry Fox is a crossword creator with a very big crush.
