Summary
“She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.
“Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”
“Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”
Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”
Oh, did that ache.
(Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)

Summary
The man starts to cock the hammer of gun, and Alex squeezes his eyes shut, his lower lip trembling almost imperceptibly.
“Stop!” Henry shouts, his voice cracking. “I’ll give you whatever you want, I’ll do anything…just please, don’t hurt him.”
Alex’s eyes fly open, shooting Henry the same incredulous look that he gave him in the hallway, and Henry knows he’s shown too much of his hand, revealed a part of himself that he’d sworn he would take to his grave, but he’s too full of fear and desperation to feel self-conscious about it now. He can deal with the consequences when they get out of this.
If they get out of this.
******
What if the moment in the hospital wasn’t a false alarm and the publicity surrounding the forced bromance between Alex and Henry had the adverse effect of them being kidnapped together?

Summary
When they get to the room that’s supposed to be his, Alex’s luck runs out.
Leo and his mom go inside first. Alex pushes the door open behind them, steps one foot into the room, and freezes.
Because someone is already in there. A tall, faintly transparent, glowing someone, sitting on the ledge of the windowsill on the far side of the room, one knee pulled up toward his chest with his arms loosely wrapped around it, the other leg dangling down to the floor.
******
All Alex wants is to spend a relaxing summer in England with his family. There's just one catch - he can see ghosts, and Henry is haunting his bedroom.

Summary
Ellen walks around the desk to stand directly in front of him. “You’re not a carpenter, Fox. You’re a ranger. If we’re all going down anyway, wouldn’t you rather go down fighting? Not cowering behind a wall?”
Henry bristles, the words striking a nerve. “I gave you my answer,” he says, jutting his chin out defensively. “I’m sorry you wasted your trip here.”
He’s about halfway to the door by the time she speaks again.
“He needs you, Henry.”
Henry freezes.
“What are you talking about?” he says, slowly turning around to face her. There’s no question of who she is referring to — but that person made it clear long ago that he doesn’t need anything from Henry.
******
Henry and Alex were best friends in the jaeger pilot training program, until misunderstandings and miscommunications drove them apart. In the final days of the war against the kaiju, can they put their differences aside and find a way to work together again to save the world?

Summary
If you could have anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?
Alexander Claremont-Diaz has clawed his way into Hollywood despite all the hurdles in his way, and now he's starring in his dream movie—a queer romcom adapted from one of his favorite books, Roses, Wisteria, and Royal Bluebells. However, he barely has the chance to be excited before he finds out who his costar is. The privileged, white, bigoted Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.
The last thing Alex wants is to be associated with Henry more than he already has to, but a fateful interview and a few choice words against Henry turns him into enemy number one in Hollywood. To fix it, he has to pretend to be Henry's best friend and show the entire world his comments were nothing but friendly banter. However, as he gets inevitably tangled up in Henry's life, he realizes not everything is as it seems, and Henry might be hiding his own demons that might change everything.

Summary
Alexander Claremont-Diaz, the young ruler of the Underworld, the presider of souls that have passed away, has been banned from Olympus his entire life, on account of bringing death and destruction wherever he goes. His seat in the highest council of gods has been left permanently empty until someone sees all that he is and still falls in love with the man behind.
It's been twenty centuries since the curse has been put upon him, and Alex has long since given up on finding the right person.

Summary
Three things happen on the last week of September that leads Alex into the café on a random Tuesday afternoon, eyes glued to the doors on the lookout for a familiar pair of blue eyes.
Three things, in quick succession, that turns the Alex dismissive of Peer Tutoring program to signing up for a tutor himself for as many days in the week as possible.
Three things that boil down to one thing when Alex really thinks about it, and that’s liquid gold hair, wide sky blue eyes, and rosy lips that Alex wants to somehow devour until swollen and preserve at the same fucking time. One thing with the name of Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.
Or, 5 times Henry doesn't realize Alex is good at English lit, and 1 time he does.
Or, 6 times Henry and Alex's tutorship sessions turn into something else.

Summary
“I’m not gonna ask you what happened. I’m not gonna ask you how you’re here. I’m not gonna call anyone, I promise.” He thinks back to his house, to his bedroom door that he’s left open, and the decision is made. He can sleep on the floor for one goddamn night. “But I’m not gonna walk away either. So you can let me help you up on your feet and walk back to my place, or if you can’t I’m calling an Uber.” He brushes Henry’s hair away from his face and lowers his voice. “I’m so fucking sorry about her.”
He doesn’t need to say the name. Henry knows, and for once, searching Alex’s face, he realizes someone else does, too.
Henry is outed against his will and Mary kicks him out of her house. Alex finds him.
Or, 5 times Henry discovers what it means to have a family and 1 time he lets himself realize he has one.

Summary
“Ah.” There’s a smile in Nora’s voice and Alex lifts his head just long enough to glare at her. “So you met Henry.”
The name makes Alex's stomach curl. “Henry,” he says in a mock British accent that makes Nora snort. “I hate him,” Alex decides, flopping on his back so he stares at the ceiling. “I think he should go back to the UK and annoy his own people.”
Or, 5 times Alex and Henry don't get it right, and 1 time they do.

Summary
“Bleeding.” Claire brings her chubby little hand up to point at his forehead.
Henry touches his cold fingers to his forehead, realizing the bandage he’d placed over his eyebrow has been bled through. He thinks he’s got more in the center console. He hopes.
“Daddy’s alright,” he assures her, finally snapping the buckle together over her puffy pink coat. He gives her the best smile he can muster. “Ready to go for a drive?”
Claire nods at him, big blue eyes inquisitive as he palms her hair, thumb brushing blonde locks off her forehead. “Where’s we goin’?”
“Somewhere better,” he says, and closes the back door tight.

Summary
It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.
It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.
(After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)

Summary
“And the thing is, I get it.” He grips his phone hard enough that he knows he’s risking cracking the screen again, barrelling forward before Henry can interrupt him with bullshit platitudes. “They’re both out there trying to fix the whole damn world to make it a little better for their trans son, but fuck, I miss being able to come home and having that be the one place I didn’t have to deal with any bullshit, you know?”
The silence that follows is so absolute, Alex pulls the phone away from his ear to check that the call hasn’t dropped.
“Henry?”
“I’m here.” Henry’s voice is cracked and hoarse, and he must realise it at the same time Alex does, because he clears his throat before speaking again. “Alex, I don’t—did you mean to tell me that?”
Or, Alex is a stealth trans guy. That doesn't stop canon from barrelling ahead.

Summary
Alex gets the call at 7:57am.
It’s from an unknown number, so he answers it with an accent on his tongue and laughter in his throat, ready to troll the scammer for all they’re worth. But the voice on the other side of the line is serious, solemn, when she asks, “Is this, I apologize, all I’ve been given are initials, AGCD?”
He frowns, turning away from the coffee shop he’d been about to enter. “Who’s asking?”
There’s a moment of hesitation on the other end. “There’s been an incident. On the individual's phone, there’s a sticker. It says, if found, return to AGCD, alongside this phone number. Does it sound familiar?”
Alex freezes in the middle of the sidewalk. “What kind of incident?”
--
Or, Henry's been in an accident.

Summary
Alex met the love of his life on vacation in Vegas, two steps away from a couple of Vegas showgirls trying to pawn off photos. They were stunning, but Alex knew the scam, and his attention had already strayed beyond them to a man who had dropped his bag, items splaying all over the strip for drunk or high tourists to stoop down and sweep away with. Alex had dropped to his knees in an attempt to help pick everything up before it was too late.
His hand wrapped around a bottle of sunblock stronger than the sun itself, and then he looked up to hand it over, and, well.
Time stopped.

Summary
The first night of camp with Henry is always weird. Weird in the sense that they haven’t seen each other in nearly eleven months, but Alex knows that Henry has been thinking about him in the months leading up to camp. Alex is guilty of it too; often the first thing he thinks of after applying to be a counselor is seeing Henry, Henry and his stupid blond hair and stupid English accent and stupidly gorgeous face, and thinking about just how he could outdo him in pranks this year.
Alternatively, the camp counselor AU that nobody asked for.

It's a Crime (to Fall in Love) by chamel for clottedcreamfudge
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston

Tags
Summary
So, Henry’s life in Sandford is fine. Not demonstrably better or worse than his life in London, just different. And just boring enough that he catches himself hoping something interesting might happen.
As a police officer, he should have known better.
(When he's transferred to a new position in the country, Henry expects to be bored and miserable. He doesn't expect to find a gorgeous, vibrant American seemingly determined to drive him up the wall, nor does he expect to end up tracking a murderer—especially when all the clues seemingly point to the man he's helplessly falling in love with.)

Summary
“If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were trying to sully my honor there, cowboy…” Henry reaches one hand up, letting his middle finger trace his cheekbone. “…Steal my virtue, even.” His tone is as teasing and as flirtatious as he thinks he can manage.
He’s taking a page out of his romance novel, his confidence coming back to him in an unpredictable wave. That’s how it seems to operate, ebbing and flowing against Henry’s will. He tries to ride it as it crashes to shore.
Alex smiles, eyes shimmering with playfulness. “Promise I’m a gentleman, darlin’.” His calloused hands creep underneath Henry’s shirt, fingertips pressing into perfectly soft skin. He’s closer now, lips inches from Henry’s ear, “Unless you’d rather I wasn’t.”
Henry Mountchristen is left alone for the first time in his life.
Alex Claremont-Diaz is a cowboy that shows up and points a gun at his head.
