Summary
“Oh, sweetheart,” Henry breathes, sitting beside him in the lounge chair, quickly grasping Alex’s hand in his own.
Immediately, Alex knows what Henry is going to say. “No, I know,” he says quickly.
Henry shakes his head at him. “No, I don't think you do,” he says in a hoarse voice. Alex looks closely at his husband and observes the dark circles under his eyes. It doesn’t look like he slept at all, and a pit forms in his stomach at the thought.
“And even if you do,” Henry continues. “I need to say it. We are going to fight this,” he says firmly. “And we are going to go wherever we have to go, see whoever we have to see, and we are going to win. Because I'm not going to let anything happen to you.”
Five years after moving to Austin, Henry and Alex are new parents to a beautiful baby boy, the light of their life. Alex is a stay-at-home Dad, while Henry is President of the Okonjo Foundation, breaking barriers to open a new shelter in Austin. Being new parents while balancing their career shifts is challenging enough. But when Alex receives a devastating diagnosis, will it bring them closer together, or drive them further apart?

Summary
Henry just wants one year of freedom before he’s swept off into enlistment. Reluctantly, The Crown allows him to spend his final semester studying abroad at NYU as long as he keeps his true identity under wraps. He’s confident he can lie low, that is until an American heartthrob with long hair, a flannel, and band tee crashes into him.
OR, the 90s grunge rock meets Secret Prince AU.

Summary
Henry isn’t fine. He’s had his private words, his most intimate thoughts and feelings broadcast to the entire world. Of course he isn’t fine.
He gets to love proudly now though. He gets to spend his life vocally loving Alex. He gets to stand up for himself and for what he believes in. He gets to live openly, without shame.
He’s healing. Slowly. Achingly slowly, but he’s getting there.
Alex, though? Well, that’s a whole other story.

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.
