Sweet Rivalry by bleedingballroomfloor
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
25 Dec 2024

Summary
“Hunter’s entering again,” Alex explains before Henry can finish, “and somehow, that fucker beat both of us, even though he has half the skill of both of us combined. We’ve dominated the bake off year after year. If we want to see him go down, this is the only way to ensure that.”
Henry blinks. “So you want to —”
“Gang up so we can beat the shit out of Hunter, yeah. Were you even listening to anything I just said?”
Or, Alex and Henry are rival bakers day-to-day, but a newcomer in the Park Slope Christmas Cookie Bake-Off has them becoming a lot closer than originally planned.

What Goes Up Must Come Down by bleedingballroomfloor for milowren
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
03 Nov 2024

Summary
The first time Alex sees his new neighbor, he just about falls to his knees.
All he can see is a strong, firm ass poking from the doorway along with legs that stretch on for miles, showing off muscular calves and thick thighs, those shorter-than-short shorts doing nothing to hide his skin, since Mr. Apartment 12B decided to move in on the hottest week of the summer. He’s bent at the waist, setting something down in his new apartment, and the angle he’s at leaves absolutely nothing to Alex’s imagination. When he straightens back up, he immediately goes to pick up another box outside his door, giving Alex a front row seat to the muscles that flex from his biceps, the veins that accentuate from his forearms, and Alex is fucking gone.
It’s just a little confusing, because Alex’s new neighbor is a man, and Alex is pretty sure he’s straight.
Or, Alex is obsessed with his new neighbor, whom he hates, and whom he is also trapped in an elevator with.

just me and my dog (and a possible view) by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
Alex snorts. "I can't believe your dog's anxiety is just as bad as yours."
"Perhaps worse, I'm afraid," Henry says. "He'll adjust. We'll take care of him."
Alex grins. "Yeah, baby," he says, standing on his tiptoes to press a kiss between Henry's eyebrows. "You and me."
Five times Alex refers to David as Henry's dog, and one time he refers to David as their dog.

next thing i knew he was all up on me screaming (yeah) by bleedingballroomfloor for gusher

Summary
“I’ve learned not to waste my time pining after straight men,” Henry says simply, “no matter how often they seem to turn up in my life.”
That stops Alex short. It’s not like he’s purposely seeking Henry out. It’s not like he’s trying to be an asshole and make Henry fall for him. There’s just something about him — Alex finds himself pulled toward Henry like he’s an eight-page essay not due for another month. That’s just how Alex always is: he dives headfirst into everything without a second thought, and he doesn’t stop until he’s deemed it a job well done.
This particular instance, though, is getting confusing. He’s not sure what he wants from Henry. He doesn’t know why he feels so drawn to him, or why he’s started wondering what Henry’s doing when he’s in class, or why the memory of Henry grinding in a stranger’s lap suddenly appears when he’s about to fall asleep.
Or, Alex meets Henry while studying abroad and has some very not-straight feelings about him.

Summary
"Oh, Haz, he's absolutely wonderful," Pez gushes. He walks in a slow circle around the statue, giving a low whistle. "Some of your best work, surely. What do you suppose you'll do with him?"
"That's the thing," Henry says, rubbing the back of his neck and trying not to cringe at what he's about to say next. "I thought I might, er... keep him?"
Or, the modern Pygmalion and Galatea AU that no one asked for.

Smile, You're on Camera by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
"Baby," Alex manages, and Henry groans in response, grazing his earlobe with his teeth. Alex bites his lip his stifle his own whimper. "H, hang on."
Henry pulls away from his assault on his neck, face flushed, chest heaving. "What's — what's wrong?"
"Nothing, sweetheart, nothing," Alex soothes, placing both hands on Henry's shoulders. "I just — do you wanna do it? Now?"
Henry blinks owlishly. Alex watches as the realization slowly dawns on him, and he turns his head to look at the camera. He stares for a moment, then looks back at Alex and says, "Can you bring it closer?"
Or, Alex and Henry film a sex tape.

Praying for Love in a Lap Dance by bleedingballroomfloor

28 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
"Haven't seen you in a while," Alex drawls some time later, finding his way through the crowd to his client, who's made himself at home on one of the sleek couches around the room, holding a gin and tonic in his hand. "Missed me, sweetheart?"
Henry tilts his head to the side, eyes making a slow descent from the top of Alex's head to the bottom of his feet. "It's been a while," he simply says. "I want you on my lap."
"Right here?"
"Right here."

Summary
"But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you."
From dutifully dancing with June at the royal wedding, to learning what dry humping to Lil Jon entails, to slow dancing in the V&A, Alex and Henry have had their moments. In the years to come, those moments still appear, and dancing becomes their forte in a million different ways.
Or, four times Alex and Henry dance as boyfriends, and the first time they dance as husbands.

lover of mine (maybe we’ll take some time) by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
“Why am I even invited to the wedding?”
“See, it’s a funny story,” Alex says quickly. “After we broke up, Nora took this new job in Upper Manhattan. So she and June live there now. And I’ve been so busy working at Luna’s new firm that I haven’t really talked to my family about anything other than the wedding. So, um. Well. They don’t know that we broke up.”
Henry feels his fingers digging into the invitation, crumpling the paper, but he doesn’t care. “They what?”
Alex buries his face in his hands. “I never told my family that we broke up.”

Summary
The thing about sex with Henry is, it’s never the same twice. Sometimes he moves easily, caught up in the rush, and other times he’s tense and taut and wants Alex to work him loose and take him apart. Sometimes nothing gets him off faster than being talked back to, but other times they both want him to use every inch of authority in his blood, not to let Alex get there until he’s told, until he begs.
It’s unpredictable and it’s intoxicating and it’s fun, because Alex has never met a challenge he didn’t love, and he— well, Henry is a challenge, head to toe, beginning to end.
Or: series of snapshots of Alex and Henry’s versatile sex life throughout the years – because the more life changes, the more some things stay the same.
A Firstprince birthday celebration collaboration.

Someone Special by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
"That was Shaan," Henry explains as Alex snuggles closer to him, pressing his nose to his neck. "The blizzard hit early, apparently. Too risky to fly."
"So Christmas here?" Alex says in that sleepy drawl of his that Henry will never get tired of. "Fuckin' sweet."

Summary
Alex always knew Henry had a great relationship with his father — baseball was their thing; of course they were close — and he knew because of that, his death hit Henry as hard as it possibly could. It hit Bea hard as well; he knows that, too. He never considered how his death might have hit Philip, someone who, it seems, never had as close of a relationship with his father as his younger siblings did.
Or, the baseball boyfriends fic I wrote solely to include one little detail that I couldn't fit into the other fics.

Summary
"You seriously don't remember?"
"Alex, for the life of me, I do not."
Alex's face splits into a devilish grin. "Oh, baby." His voice is absolutely sultry. "All I'm hearing is that I gotta make you remember."

(Door)Dash to the Heart by bleedingballroomfloor
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
13 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
The man looks up when Henry opens the door. "Henry?"
Henry clears his throat. "That's me," he manages.
"Cool," the man says. "You're making me hungry for breakfast with this order, man. Which is bad for me, because my breakfast is usually just coffee, and there's no way I can drink that this late."
"Uh," Henry says. He's pretty sure dashers don't talk this much during orders.
"Anyway," the man says, handing the bag of food to Henry, "enjoy your night."
Five times Henry gets late-night food from his insanely hot DoorDasher Alex, and one time they get food together at a normal time.

Just Business by bleedingballroomfloor for raysletters
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
26 Jul 2023

Summary
“I just need you to know that this is strictly a business relationship.”
Henry blinks. His brain is taking a minute to process everything — meeting Alex. Dozens of pictures lining his office walls, each featuring a different persona of his. Brochures upon brochures, prices upon prices. It’s a bit overwhelming.
“You’re asking for a lot here,” Alex continues, “and that means we’ll be spending a lot of time together. A Golden Tux. You’re asking me to pull off a Golden Tux, Henry. But I need you to know that this is just business.”
Henry knows he’s asking for a lot. A best man. A wedding party. Time with his family. He knows that this should only be about business. He knows.
(He also knows that Alex is very, very attractive, and he knows that this will be a long four weeks with Alex.)

That's What You Get For Waking Up in Vegas by bleedingballroomfloor
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston

Summary
The bartender slides Alex the whiskey and shot of water before turning her attention to the person behind him. He turns around at the same time as the person speaks, “Gin and tonic” in all rounded vowels, a distinct English accent shining through, and he swears his heart stops.
“Holy shit,” Alex says before he can stop the words from slipping out of his mouth. “Henry?”
When Alex is celebrating June and Nora's bachelorette party in Vegas, the last person he expects to see is his ex-boyfriend Henry, who moved back to London nearly a year ago.
Waking up next to him the following morning, naked and sated with a marriage certificate poking out of his pocket, he starts to wonder if he's truly over Henry.

Summary
“One more thing you should know,” Pez adds as Henry takes the invitation from him. “June Claremont-Diaz is coming.”
Henry freezes.
June Claremont-Diaz isn’t the problem. She’s a lovely girl, and her articles about their shelter openings have always been kind. Pez has invited her to each fundraiser since the Los Angeles shelters’ opening, and she’s attended every single one, happy to participate in the theme if she can get a good article out of it.
No, the problem isn’t June Claremont-Diaz. The problem is her brother.
Or, Henry and Pez’s new shelter is opening in Brooklyn, and Henry is determined to spend the entire night avoiding Alex, while Alex is determined to do the exact opposite of that.

Summary
I know this is a long shot, but if anyone’s going to Texas/anywhere south for the holidays and is crazy enough to drive there instead of fly, I’m looking for a road trip buddy. We can split gas money and snacks if you pick good ones. DM me if you’re interested.
And Henry knows he's about the make the most idiotic decision he's ever made in his life.
Or, Henry impulsively tags along with Alex on a road trip to Texas with absolutely no plan. Surely this won't backfire.

A Grand Slam of Love by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
God, that’s it, isn’t it? Of course Alex wants the win for himself, but he wants it for others more. He wants it for Pez, who gave everything to Henry and this game and deserves the win just as much as Henry does. He wants it for Amy, to show all the bigots in the MLB that she’s more than capable of coaching a team to victory. He wants it for Zahra, who’s busted her ass every day to promote the team; for Cash, who stood by Alex’s side every second to get him through his slump; for Shaan, who’s been with Henry for the entirety of his career and never once gave up on him. He wants it for every fan that rooted for him and Henry, for every person in the organization that stuck up for them, for every goddamn employee at Citi Field that makes these games possible.
Or, the baseball boyfriends sequel that I couldn't stop myself from writing.

Homecoming by bleedingballroomfloor for ifigo

Summary
Alex sets the baby carrier down in the middle of their living room. It's a mess already, and it's only going to get messier — bottles and diapers and onesies, plus Emma's toys and books and stuffed animals, and of course the things that never seem to leave the coffee table, like Henry's anthology of poetry and Alex's favorite mug. It's thrilling and terrifying and new, because one baby was certainly a challenge, and now they have two. Two tiny humans dependent on them for survival, an overeager three-year-old, and an old but still playful dog.
"What the fuck do we do now?"
—
In which Alex and Henry bring their newborn twins home from the hospital for the first time.
