    Summary

    Alex and Henry are low-level thugs from rival gangs in a Victorian-adjacent era AU.

    They're still in love, there's just more pickpocketing, a very Henry-centric competency kink and absolute decimation of period-typical racism (we'd expect nothing less from Alex Claremont-Diaz).

    “And besides,” he said as he stepped up even closer, bypassing Fox’s lips and whispering teasingly in his ear - even though they were in broad fucking daylight and likely to be killed just for the audacity, because that was what this boy brought out of him - “I suppose I could find it in myself to give you a few extra minutes, especially since it’ll take all the skill you can dredge up to beat...twenty-one pockets...”

    And with that he drew back, watching the way that flush spread as far as Fox’s ears and his pupils blew out, breath caught in his chest at the sight. Then, against all odds, Fox was smirking again, looking right in his fucking element as he stepped the smallest bit backwards.

    “Watch me,” was all he said.

    And oh, Alex would.
