Summary
Somewhere, there’s also a piano playing and music that filters through the space, some jazzy holiday song that Alex barely hears. In fact, Alex barely takes in any of the decorations, the faces of the other diners or even the dessert menu that he’s holding up in front of his face.
He doesn’t–no, he can’t take in any of the details. His heart is racing and his palms are sweaty. Under the table, his left knee is bouncing and he’s practically vibrating out of his skin, because Alex is going to propose to Henry.
OR Alex has a proposal plan that doesn't, well, go according to plan.

Summary
“We’re back?” Henry asks. “And where are you going?”
“To pick up Nora?! As I told you last week?” June replies, exasperated. “I swear to God, Henry, sometimes you are more forgetful than my brother.”
“I—now, that’s preposterous!” he yelps. He would clutch his pearls if he had any. “I resent being compared to Alex.”
“Oh, don’t be so scandalized, Henry! You guys are so similar, I honestly don’t understand how you’re still not together.”
Or: Henry is tasked with baking gingerbread and he gets a helping hand from a friend

Summary
Henry has always been Alex's professional rival; his vocational nemesis; the occupational itch he just can't seem to scratch. Years after their first interaction as junior associates, Henry is opposing counsel in a civil lawsuit that Alex is determined to win, and Alex is more than willing to get his hands dirty doing it.
What follows is a brief tale of rivalry and irresistible attraction, with a smattering of legal work on the side.
--
The AU in which everyone is an attorney - featuring questionable offers of compromise, tie-related disasters and very effective methods of negotiation.

but if you’re leaving, I gotta know why by miharaikko

Summary
It’s Henry's blanket.
The one Alex would sometimes find him wrapped in, bundled up on the couch, with a steeping mug of tea on the coffee table and a book in his hands.
Or other times, Alex would find a lump of a human, barely visible in his own bed, drapes drawn closed and no signs of Henry having eaten that day. That’s when he’d slip under the blanket too, pulling Henry’s body close to his, not saying anything with words but everything with a kiss placed on the temple.
If Henry leaves, he’ll probably take this blanket with him, Alex thinks, trying to wrap himself even tighter with the material.
Or: Alex overhears a conversation between Henry and Bea and realizes there's a lot more things that he feels for his roommate.

Summary
"The problem is that Henry dug his own grave by falling in love with Alex, he knows it. He knew it by the time he realised that he's in love. Breathing slowly, he closes his eyes and tries to think.
He must invent an entirely new system."
or: Henry is helplessly in love with his straight roommate. He tries to move on.
