    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)

    Summary

    It has been three years since they were outted and Henry and Alex have finally settled into a groove that works well for them, except for the fact that it feels like they're always having to steal time together. Queen Mary constantly coming up with excuses to get Henry out of public events with Alex isn't helping, and Alex is done with it. After a long conference in Tokyo that Henry couldn't attend, Alex's flight home being delayed is the last straw and he calls Henry to say they need to figure out a better way to do this, to which Henry agrees. But fate has other ideas. Alex's flight goes missing somewhere over the Pacific, no trace of it to be found, leaving Henry and Alex's family struggling to not lose hope while unable to do anything.

    Incredibly emotionally taxing - do not read unless you have time to take breaks!

    But godDAMN if I didn’t love every moment I was anxious and had to put my phone down to cool it

    Summary

    Alex Claremont-Diaz has it all. His mom won the election, he’s got the perfect boyfriend. He gets to love Henry out loud. Everything is great. Perfect.

    Except for the itch under his skin every time he goes outside, and the tightness in his chest when he goes online, and the fact that he can’t fucking sleep.

    But it's fine. He's fine. Really.

    —-
    Or: after the emails, Alex Claremont-Diaz isn’t fine.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Alex is the one going through it badly after the emails leak - he has no coping skills and no opportunity to tune out or take a break from reality

    A very realistic timeline of how someone asks for help after a serious mental health crisis that otherwise should have resulted in hospitalization

    This is 10000% canon to me and would be a great direction for a sequel adaptation…
