Summary
Four different New Year's Eve parties from June's point of view. Four different evenings, four different feelings, four different outcomes.
---
It’s not that she herself isn’t excited for the new year — and she truly does try to put all of her pent up dreams and frustrations and wishes and needs for the upcoming season into her own enthusiastic yelling — but something about this new year just feels different.
It had taken her most of the party that evening to realize why.
It’s because, she finally realized, that it’s her first New Year’s Eve alone in… well, in several years.

...but what I can do is write you a list.
That is, a list of (probably) non-related 100-word drabbles for the weekly challenge hosted by The Brownstone on Tumblr / Discord.

Summary
A collection of missing moments or deleted scenes from my previous fic, "A Love Letter to Love".

Current Chapter:
In which Alex shows Henry the engraving on the White House roof.
Alex’s fingers slot perfectly between his as he pulls Henry along, striding with purpose towards the roof of the Solarium. “I’ve never shown anyone else this, not even June, but before we leave I need someone else to know it’s here. That it - I don’t know - that it exists, I guess? That it’s not some giant ironic joke, some glitch in the universe that this is here and that I of all people found it?” He walks in circles for a moment, clearly looking for something, before dropping down into a crouch. When he starts pulling at the roof paneling, Henry takes a measured step back.“You know, I’d rather not be arrested for destruction of a national landmark,” he says, trying to inject some lightness into his voice but knowing beyond all hope that Alex will hear his nerves anyway; they’re really not great at hiding much of anything from each other at this point. “Maybe we should just head inside…”

Summary
What if Alex and Henry hit it off at Rio, becoming fast friends from that moment on rather than sparking a years-long animosity? What if Henry realized almost immediately upon that first meeting that Alex was his soulmate?
What if he didn't tell him right away?
It wouldn't be that big of a deal... right?

“Be that as it may, I don’t want-”
“Oh my god,” Alex groans, cutting him off. “Will you just accept that people care about you? You’re not an inconvenience, especially not for something you can’t control, like being sick.”
Henry tenses, keeping himself turned facing away from Alex, as if in some twisted sense of self-preservation. "You hardly even know me," he whispers into the lingering silence between them.
"That's true," Alex admits, "but I think I'd like to get the chance to, if that's okay with you."

Summary
3 times Ellen addresses Henry by his title or name alone, and 1 time she refers to him as family.
---
Ellen knows she’s not the greatest mother the world has ever seen. She knows that (especially in the last few years) her children have often taken a backseat to her own ambition. She also knows that Alex has taken that better, more in stride, than June has. That he understands, and some days even actively encourages, her singular focus and determination to be the best damn first female President of the United States of America that she can be, to the point that some days all she has time for is a single good thing and a single bad thing in her children’s lives.
Still, she tries. God knows she tries, even if she doesn’t often succeed. It’s a precarious balance that she’s struck between work and home life, between running a country and running a household.
She is, therefore, present enough to recognize that something has happened between the Prince of Wales and her son.
