Summary
"So," Henry says as Alex"s brain makes a valiant effort to reboot because he"s staring at Henry fucking Fox, the man he has spent the better part of a decade staring at through a small author"s photo. It doesn"t even begin to do him justice and he"s only now fully realising it, "your daughter is a fan of my work?"
"Huge," Alex chokes out, struggling to not make a fool out of himself. "Dragged me here."
Henry raises an eyebrow, face utterly amused as he says, "Really? Because I could have sworn I just heard her tell Issa that her "lame dad" forced her to come here."
"Huh,”Alex says, "Kids, am I right?"
Alex"s daughter is growing up, a fact he is entirely not okay with.
She"s becoming a teenager, thinks he"s the most boring, lamest dude alive and wants nothing to do with the traditions they had while she was growing up - especially reading Henry Fox"s books.
But when Henry Fox begins a reading programme at their local library, she is sat in the front row. Because she wants to be, not because Alex is forcing her. Not because Alex is slightly in love with a man he"s never met, the first person to actually see him.
Obviously.

Summary
Alex looks at him, like Henry’s a speck of dirt on his pristine chinos. “Why would June send you to check up on me?”
“Because I’m her best friend and you’re her brother?”
“I always said she has bad taste.”
“Well,” Henry smiles. It feels as placid on his face as it probably looks. “I would say the same thing, but family doesn’t account for one’s taste, unfortunately.”
in which henry fox is june’s childhood best friend and alex claremont-diaz is june’s younger brother. as the years pass, they tolerate each other at best and are downright destructive at worst. until they begin falling into each other"s beds.

Summary
"Marry Henry - destination wedding. Combine all of our names so paperwork is a fucking nightmare." Henry stares at him and Pez rolls the dice, and-
"Congratulations to Alex and Henry Claremont-Diaz-Fox-Mountchristen," he says with a bright grin, and Alex punches the air and makes a "whooping" noise. "Your wedding is attended by the Beckhams, the President, and several key members of congress. Henry is very gentle on your wedding night." Henry is going to fucking kill Pez.
"Fucking sweet," Alex says, because Henry is apparently the only one here trying not to have a coronary about all of this.***
It had just been a party game, except now Henry is in way over his head.

Summary
Alex is looking forward to a relaxing winter break catching up with his sister after her semester abroad, but June"s gone and ruined everything by inviting her insufferable international student friend to stay with their family for a real American Christmas experience. Henry is irritatingly gorgeous with a completely obnoxious superiority complex, and Alex is prepared to hate every single second he"s forced to spend in his presence. As Alex starts to get into the Christmas spirit, however, he finds that maybe there"s more to Henry than meets the eye - and maybe, just maybe, this will actually be the best Christmas ever.
