Summary
When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.
To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.
(Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is the frontman of ATX the way Henry was the frontman of Princes. The media is making a lot of the fact that Alex has spent most of his summer partying and shirking responsibilities and missing important engagements. Henry tends to take what the media runs with a grain of salt, but Shaan confirming a meeting likely means there’s some truth to it.
Now he’s in his mid 30s, and he’s watching Alex Claremont-Diaz on a path of self-destruction, but it is not, in fact, Henry’s duty to stop it happening.
He’s never even met the bloke.

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.

Summary
That day at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Alex comes across the very same Prince Henry who just dismissed him having a panic attack in a bathroom. The choice Alex makes then has ripple effects neither of them could have ever expected. What's the story like, when they actually are friends all along?
“So, you’re going back to England tonight, and you’ll spend the next three days pretending you two are the closest and best of friends until we can put this mess behind us.”
And there are reasons he hasn’t told anybody this, good reasons, even though he’s sure June and Nora saw through him ages ago. Faced with his mom’s disappointment, though, and with the realization that the entire world apparently thinks he hates Henry and would willingly shove him into a fucking cake, he can’t stay quiet.
“But we are friends,” he says, vehement and serious. “We have been for years. He’s—he’s probably my best friend, actually, along with Nora.”

Summary
With three children to raise, he got a steady job working in a warehouse. It was a job he enjoyed. He started out moving boxes around but when he was trained to drive the forklift, he got enough of a raise to move the family out of the East End and into a nicer neighborhood. The house was small, but it was theirs. It had a tree in the yard for the boys to climb and have friends over to play. He even started taking the boys out to play catch on Sundays before he left for work. The dining room had a spot for a little china cabinet, and Gemma was so proud to be able to fill it with her wedding china. He felt like he was being a good husband and father and provider, a real success in life.
Until the accident.

Summary
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay here?”
Henry lowers his mug and watches as Alex overfills his thermos. He’s had two cups already, and the odds of him having more at the office are high.
“Here?” Henry asks as he tosses Alex a dishcloth to mop up the coffee. “In our home?”
“In this house…all the way out here…alone.”
“I’m not a child, Alex,” Henry says, affronted. “I don’t require a babysitter.”
“I know that,” Alex says, “I know that. It’s just…you grew up in a palace. You had people everywhere. Now you’re just…alone out here.”
“I can assure you that when I was growing up, I was alone, plenty.”
Alex groans. “Oh god, please don’t say that. That makes me so sad.”
Or.
5 times Henry works to make their house a home 1 time Alex realizes it's been home all along.

Summary
“The queen wants to show that the Prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.”
“It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?”
Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.”
Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone."
It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend.
It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead.

Summary
“Let’s get it over with.” Henry attempts to move, but Shaan stops him with a hand over his arm, concern flickering in his eyes.
“Are you okay, Henry?” he asks, so silently that the PPOs wouldn’t even be able to hear it. Henry doesn’t even blink. He doubts that word exists in his vocabulary anymore—he doubts it’s in the cards for him. But he knows the script.
He forces a smile on his face. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Or, 5 times Henry feels alone in the world, and 1 time he realizes he isn't.

Summary
Henry had been so excited when he’d announced it to their little group, gathered one evening at the pub, that David was going to be coming over to the States. He’d gone on and on—an impossibly soft look in his eyes—about how much he missed him, and how great it would be to finally have him here, and how everyone would love him.
Alex has his doubts. He’s not jealous, because that would be absurd. Henry’s one of his best friends. It’s not— It’s not like that between them. He’s happy for Henry, truly.
He just doesn’t understand why Henry wouldn’t previously have mentioned that his boyfriend is a fucking shapeshifter.
(Alex isn’t exactly thrilled to meet Henry’s boyfriend David—obviously a shapeshifter—but what really bothers him is the fact that David refuses to show his human face.)

Summary
Alex doesn’t necessarily need a job—a full course load (plus some) is more than enough to fill his time—but he hasn’t had much of a social life since starting law school, and his coffee habit could use a few extra dollars. When June tells him the restaurant is looking for help, particularly on their Thursday Spaghetti Special night, he halfheartedly agrees. Everything that happens thereafter is technically her fault, a fact he likes pointing out any time she tries to yell at him for something, like serving uncooked garlic bread, or accidentally making a grown man cry, or breaking public indecency laws.
Or:
Alex works at an Italian restaurant and is very bad at it. Henry is a customer and doesn’t seem to mind.

Alex has been at NYU Law for about a year now and has finally made some real friends with his study group. Let's just say, they're worried about him.
And, of course, I had to pull a Casey McQuison and include a gratuitous karaoke moment. It may not be necessary, but it is also absolutely necessary.
