Summary
Henry tells him he’s been on a date with another guy. Alex tries to be genuinely interested and happy for him, even though heart is dropping at the bottom of his stomach when Henry informs him that maybe they will see each other again soon.
And Alex is slowly dying from the inside.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” Henry asks him while they eat dinner in front of the television with Empire Strikes Back playing in the background. “You’ve been oddly quiet this evening. And it’s your favorite movie,” he says as he points to the screen with his fork. “This is usually the part where you want to prove to me in many, argumentative ways how wrong I am about my preference for Return of the Jedi.”
Alex swallows around the words that are dangerously burning on his tongue. He wants to tell them. He wants to scream his heart out until every little noise in his head quiets down to nothing, until he feels like he can finally breathe again.
I'm scared to lose our friendship but love you, I love you so much and with all my being and it might very well burn me alive one day.
(Or, Alex is in madly love with his friend Henry and has to watch and suffer as he goes on different dates.)

Summary
In a world where the be-all and end-all of relationships is determined by soul resonance, Henry can’t have a soulmate and Alex experiences soul resonance in such a disruptive way that he just doesn’t want one. Against all odds, this is their story.
So he obediently shuffles after June and Nora to say hello, trying his very best not to get distracted by all the connections his brain is shouting at him about.
He’s actually trying so badly not to get distracted that he ends up not realizing it’s his turn to say hello to Prince Henry until he’s right there in front of Alex, holding out a hand, and it means he doesn’t have time to register much outside of wow, are his eyes really that blue? and that’s less of a smile and more of a grimace before their hands touch.
And for the first time since puberty hit, it’s not a sensory shock, it doesn’t feel like someone’s soul is shouting at him.
It’s peaceful. It’s—
“Quiet,” Alex whispers. “Your soul is so quiet.”

“No, this is not Punk’d,” Alex said as he chuckled. “No. This is, um, me asking you to be my date for an event. Six years after we met.”
“An event that happens to be the Oscars.”
“Right.”

Summary
When Alex doesn’t say anything, Henry reaches out across the table to tentatively wrap his elegantly long fingers around Alex’s hand. His thumb is resting on the knob of Alex’s wrist, and he swipes this thumb over the skin, almost absentmindedly. Alex can’t think of anything else, revelling in the feeling of Henry touching him again.
“Love,” Henry starts, voice sincere. “I have never needed space from you. I needed space from some… emotions I was feeling, and I’m so sorry I didn’t stop to think about how that would make you feel. Truly, it was nothing to do with you, I promise. If I haven’t thrown our friendship out of the window, I would want nothing more than to go back to how things were before. I mean it.”

Summary
Sex has always been easy for Blitzø; that's always been his curse and his blessing. He knows how to get it, and he knows how to fucking (pun intended) rock it.
But he's come to realize that taking care of someone can also be easy, learned little by little, and that sometimes if you're real fucking lucky, you can focus both of those skillsets on the same sad owl.

Summary
The next morning, Alex told his parents goodbye and Henry drove him to the airport, both of them sleep-deprived and solemn. Henry hugged him in the shadow of the Delta help desk and kissed Alex’s lips like Alex was his fucking oxygen, the only thing keeping him breathing. Alex was still hoping, reeling as he stared down the path in front of him that didn’t include Henry.
It didn’t feel right, pressing his mouth to Henry’s and wondering if it might be the last time.
Even on the other side of security, with his bag slung over his shoulder, Alex looked back.
Henry was walking away, toward the giant glass doors, his head hung and his hands in his pockets. Alex watched him go, letting the tears fall from his eyes as Henry disappeared. His heart ripped from his chest as he took the most painful breath he’s ever taken in his life, because Henry was Alex’s oxygen, the only thing keeping him breathing.
But Henry let him go.
Henry didn’t ask him to stay.
So Alex left.

Summary
Saying goodbye to Henry was always a difficult endeavor, but this one left Alex in a particularly melancholic mood today. It was Christmas Eve and Henry was supposed to be on a plane already; actually, he was supposed to be back in New York already but the last two flights he had been booked on out of London had been canceled and Alex was beginning to wonder what he’d done to piss off the universe that had so readily put Henry back in his life to begin with.
All they had wanted this year was Christmas morning. Together. Sure, they would have things to do later, people coming over, dinner to cook—but they had just wanted a quiet, cozy, lazy morning; one that was rarely afforded to them. Now, Henry was stuck in London, or Wales or somewhere in the UK and Alex had never hated international travel more than he did in the last 24 hours as he watched their first Christmas together slowly fade into a daft daydream he had dared to think about.
or; A Christmas interlude.

Summary
If you had told Blitzø that one day he'd be enthusiastically trailing after his 90-fuckin-foot tall fluffy goetian boyfriend at an open-air Sinsmas market in Lust, he would have had Moxxie take you out from a distance in case your particular brand of insanity was contagious.
He was gonna give this adorable fucker the goddamn world and/or kill trying. Either or. He wasn't picky.

Summary
“Don’t tell Nora but you are my best friend in the whole wide world and I trust you implicitly. You know that, right?”
Henry’s heart lurches painfully as he nods. “Yeah, of course,” he replies, his voice hoarse with the onslaught of emotion running through his body.
“And you said that kissing a boy helped you figure out who you are attracted to, right?”
This time Henry only hums in response, his heart beating so erratically, Alex must hear it.
“You absolutely can say no and I will never ever hold it against you because this is seriously not something friends do for each other, even if you are best friends, but –”
“Yes,” Henry interrupts him breathless before he feels himself blush hard. He clears his throat before he tries again. “I-I mean,” he stutters nervously, “you can, you know, kiss me. If it helps you figure things out.”
Or an AU in which Henry still hates New Year's, is desperately in love with Alex, and might finally get everything he ever wanted when his best friend asks him for help. They figure it out.

Summary
"Hey, Hen?" Alex asks, voice soft.
"Yes, my love?"
"Can you promise me something?"
"Anything," Henry says, tightening his hold around Alex. "Anything you want."
"Can you promise me we won't end like that?" Alex pleads. "I never want to hate you. I don't think I could ever survive that."
There's an ache in Alex's chest at the thought of ever breaking up with the love of his life, but it hurts more at the thought of them being together, but loathing each other like his parents do.
or,
How Alex and Henry find their way back to each other, despite breaking up even when they're so in love they could die.

Summary
“The second Henry saw Professor Claremont-Diaz’s photograph on the university website–a professional headshot of a man with silver threading his dark, perfectly styled hair, sharp cheekbones that could cut glass, and a jawline that seemed almost architectural–his heart had skipped a beat.”
In which Henry, a 21-year-old college junior, learns three very important lessons: 1) signing up for a class because the professor is hot might not be the smartest decision; 2) Professor Claremont-Diaz being both infuriatingly brilliant and painfully attractive doesn’t help; and 3) discovering just how impossibly gorgeous said professor looks on his knees for him is the best kind of academic revelation.

Summary
The last three years have been nothing short of perfect. Alex has a dream, a plan, and the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, all finally right within his reach. Things are easy, these days. He’s trying not to get so caught up in the finer details.
Like the fact that he hasn’t met his soon-to-be fiance’s family yet. Or the fact that everyone seems to act really odd around his grandmother. Or the fact that Henry’s not actually out to his family yet, and neglects to tell him this until they’re already off the plane and nearly to their house.
But it’s only four days, so it's fine. It's all fine.
Probably.

Summary
bestman!henry, and weddingplanner!alex.
In which Philip is getting married and asks Henry to be his best man. Henry very reluctantly agrees, but what he absolutely does not agree to is being the one stuck dealing with all of the tasks that Philip “simply does not have time for.”
The one thing that his brother did manage to do was hire a wedding planner, Alex, who's not only extremely charming and, well…much too handsome than what should be considered humanly possible but who, for some reason, seems to be doing everything in his power to make the situation more bearable for Henry. What starts out as a bond over their mutual annoyance with Philip and his outrageous requests turns into something completely unexpected and much deeper, and for once, Henry might just have to indulge himself.
or: henry and alex plan a wedding together and just might find love of their own along the way ♥️

Summary
"Maybe it has something to do with last year? You know, the kiss."
Alex groaned. "God, Nora. Don’t-"
"Hey, you’re the one who decided to make out with your secretary under the mistletoe," she said,
raising her hands in mock innocence.
"It was a tradition," Alex shot back. "You kissed me at a Christmas party once, too."
"Yeah, but I’m not avoiding you like the plague afterward," she countered.Or
Alex Claremont-Diaz is a lawyer at his own firm and Henry Fox is his secretary. Last year they kissed under the mistletoe at the office Christmas party... This year, Alex is absolutely, definitely not going to let that happen again. Probably.
