Summary
Against everyone's better judgement, tattoo artist Alex takes up a babysitting job on the side after he forms a connection with the kid over their shared love of art. It doesn't hurt that his dad's kind of hot, too.
He gets more than he signed up for the longer he spends with them, and figures out that maybe the key to happiness isn't what he thought it was — maybe growing up means being a little childish after all.

Summary
Even decades later, as they're clinking glasses to celebrate one of those milestone wedding anniversaries that make you wonder where the time went, Alex - that beloved menace with a twinkle in his eye - will inevitably launch into the story of how they met. And Henry, despite the years of happily-ever-after, still can't explain what in the bloody hell possessed him that day.
His only excuse? A sheepish grin and the admission: "Alex is the most beautiful man I had ever laid my eyes on, and my brain just...froze."
Pathetic? Absolutely. But also true.
This is how it goes.
OR
Henry meets his new neighbour and loses his English.
Littéralement.

Summary
As soon as Alex sits down – this might be the most comfortable chair he’s ever sat in in his life – Henry asks, “so, Alex, what made you want to become a lawyer?”
“Real answer, or answer I gave NYU during interviews?”
“Real answer,” Henry says, the corner of his mouth quirking up.
Alex grins. “I watched Legally Blonde for the first time when I was six. I’ve wanted to be a lawyer ever since.”
“I regret to inform you that I mostly deal in civil cases, so the opportunity to prove someone guilty of murder based on hair care expertise is going to be slim to none,” Henry says, smile on his face. “If that’s more your wheelhouse, I might have to turn you over to Pez.”
“Hair care, or criminal law?”
“Both.”
[or: Alex is a new associate at Luna, Okonjo, and Fox, and the way Henry looks in a suit is downright criminal]

Summary
Alex is suddenly really glad he wore one of his nicer button downs and not the Hannah Montana tee shirt he was wearing four minutes before he had to leave the house to meet June and Nora at this wine bar.
The most gorgeous man Alex has ever seen just walked up to the table and introduced himself as Henry.
Alex was expecting someone named Henry to join them. He wasn’t expecting Henry to be this attractive. Or older. Or wearing a full suit on a Saturday night.
To be fair, Alex has only just met Pez, who June met and she and Nora hit it off with when June did a profile on Pez and the philanthropy work he does for HFMW, this huge luxury goods conglomerate. Alex has only just now put together that ‘Pez’s mate Henry’ is Mr. HFMW himself.

He drives the car he’s rented up the lane and half wonders if he’s just exhausted or if the place actually looks as bad as it does.
Oh. Oh god. Christ. What’s he gotten himself into?
He can’t help thinking if Jean knew her home had fallen this far, she would’ve been heartbroken. He’s not going to let her home sit like this. He’s going to fix it. For her, yeah, but for him, too.

Summary
"Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"
"Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"
Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.
It was a little girl.
"Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"
"Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."
Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.

"What are those?" Henry looks curiously at the colourful beads.
"Friendship bracelets." Alex extends his arm for Henry to see.
"You made them?" Henry gapes at Alex as if he invented the concept.
"Um, yeah," he answers.
"All of them?"
"You've never made one?" Alex asks back in disbelief.

Summary
It’s unexpected, and the softness that Prince Henry maintains is a shock to his system.
It makes him want to say something, even if it’s only to ask how his day was or to request an explanation for why he spent nearly fifteen fucking minutes looking at Cupid and Psyche with a forlorn look in his eyes. When he moves on, Alex gazes up at the sculpture and tries to discern the magic that must have captured the prince’s attention, but he comes up with no answers.
Which makes him want to ask more.
But he isn’t supposed to.

Or, Alex is the new V&A night guard and Henry is the prince that Alex has been explicitly instructed to leave alone.- Language:

Summary
“Would you please state, Mr. Claremont-Diaz, your reasons for declaring your eligibility?”
“What do you mean? Kind of obvious, isn’t it?”
“People enroll in the program for a variety of reasons for which we can deploy resources rather than simply matchmaking. For instance, people seek connections with which to secure immigration papers or green cards, to escape abusive situations at home, to take advantage of state sponsored travel, to fulfill sexual desires. And in some cases, as a way of enacting violence. We ask everyone as part of our intake.”
“Jesus.”
“Yes. So. Your reasons.”
“I want to find my soulmate, and be with her.”
Or, the soulmate matching service sends you on journeys with your match to ensure compatibility. Alex is sent on a journey with a man.

Summary
There he stood. Frozen. In the presence of a man who Henry was willing to swear before Queen and country, under pain of death, was the single most beautiful person on the face of the planet, and possibly several galaxies beyond. A man who possessed the kind of magnetic pull that could persuade Henry to believe in a Catholic God. A man Henry needed to get at least 800 kilometres away from before he caused an international scandal in a tea room at Kensington Palace.
