Summary
Honestly, sometimes having a kid is so fucking annoying. Like when your eight year old comes home from her tia’s and talks about the economics of a lemonade stand, for fuck’s sake, and puts together such a convincing pitch that even thinking about saying no makes him feel like a complete dick.
So now he’s using a nail gun he borrowed from his neighbour to help her make a little stand out of lumber. And somehow, he hopes anyway, not making it look like something she’s gonna get tetanus from or get crushed by.
She looks cute as hell in her little overalls, though.
Or, Alex’s kid has a lemonade stand, and Henry is their best customer.

Summary
Five days a week, Alex sits across from Henry for 58 minutes in the morning, rattling on about the virtues of the Tube and how efficient it is compared to the NYC subway, or his irrational dislike of Pret coffee, or a new bookstore he thinks Henry would like.
Five days a week, Alex and Henry leave the shelter together to take the bus home. They almost always end up standing for part of the way, occasionally bumping up against each other. Sometimes, Alex doesn't move away. It's nice.
Five days a week, Henry falls a little bit more in love.
Or, Alex and Henry fall in love—five days a week, four bus routes, three pseudo-dates, two holiday markets, and one red scarf of fate later.

Summary
A royal decree from His Majesty, Alpha King James III of Great Britain, stating that 'His Royal Highness, Omega Prince Alexander of Texas, would marry His Royal Highness, High Alpha Crown Prince Henry of Britain', changed Alex’s life forever.
Already an anomaly as the first royal male in America to present as an omega, Alex is not thrilled about the arrangement but is left with no choice but to comply.
Perhaps in the end, Alex will come to accept his new fate, or perhaps he will spend his time fighting an opponent he can never defeat.
Only time will tell.Or
A Bad Alpha’s Guide to Getting an Omega by Henry.

Summary
Alex sits in the back of their Secret Service approved, PPO driven Land Rover, excitement thrumming through his body. The leather squeaks as he fidgets incessantly; his skin burns where Kieran’s shoulder is pressed into his, despite the layers of fabric between them.
On the other side of Kieran, he can see Henry’s fingers twitch on top of his own knee, playing an imaginary piano, flicking out and squeezing in before releasing and starting again. Like he’s so fucking desperate to reach out and touch the leg next to his he’s having to muster up all of his self-control, draw on all the years of keeping himself restrained, just to not start things too soon.
Alex can’t believe they’re actually, finally, doing this.

HELL YEAH, they are
