    Dear Product of my Loins,

    No. Show up to the blind date or else. It’s with the Chairman of JPMorgan and Chase’s son. Don’t show up and I’ll take your beagle and library away.

    Warmly,
    Chairman Arthur Fox

    Summary

    They haven’t seen one another since they exchanged a whispered argument about profiteroles at some fancy dinner over a year ago, when—to the rest of the world, at least—Henry was a straight man living in Kensington Palace and Alex was a straight woman living in the White House. And now… a gay man and a bisexual trans man meet in Texas.

    Henry’s whole face scrunches up as his frown deepens and turns more sad than confused. “I really wish you would just—”
    Alex sighs and rolls his eyes. “Will you give up already? I can deal with him.”
    “Christ, I’m not saying you can’t,” Henry says exasperatedly, “I’m saying you don’t have to. You carry so much, Alex. I’m simply trying to help you lighten the load in any infinitesimal way you’ll let me.”
    “And having a guy you hate move in with you is somehow only an infinitesimal inconvenience to you?”
    Henry gives Alex a tired, cold look and clenches his jaw. “If it gets you away from your transphobic roommate,” he says, low but vehement, “then yes. Christ, Alex, you’re not a bloody inconvenience.”


    Or: Henry learns how to cook, and Alex learns to let people take care of him.

    Summary

    “Sweetheart,” Alex says gently, “A blindfolded six-year-old would beat you in a fight right now. I’m not worried about you running off with my twelve tons of textbooks and empty coffee cups.”
    Henry makes a valiant effort to glare at him, but his eyes flutter shut and he frowns like he’s not sure how it happened. He manages to blink them back open and says, “I’m fine.”
    “You’re dead on your fuckin’ feet. Tell me what day it is and I’ll let you walk outta here on your own.”
    “Um.”
    Alex snorts. “Nice effort. Come on. I’m taking you to my room.” He picks up Henry’s bag and slings it over his shoulder with his own, and Henry gives him a squinty little frown. “Stop being cute,” Alex says.
    “You stop being cute,” Henry mumbles. Then, “Fuck. Fine, I need a nap.”


    Alex steals a bag, makes a friend and learns some things about himself.
    Henry… meets a disaster and decides to keep him.

    Featuring: chaotic friends & friendly thievery, queer found family, so much teasing, spicy Mexican food, cheeky teenagers, communication & boundaries, silly sea animals, and conversations about attraction & identity

    Summary

    So excuse him if he passes by Henry one night, both in pajamas and on their way to their respective rooms, both about to end their day at the same time, and his pinky slightly grazes against Henry’s right hip, immediately making him stop, whip around and stutter out, “H-Hey.”

    It startles Henry—it startles Alex as well, Jesus—as he stumbles with his steps and turns around, eyebrows raised in surprise at the sudden break in peaceful silence in their apartment.

    “Hey?” he replies.

    or

    Law student Alex is incredibly touch-starved and his English Lit PhD roommate Henry is right there.
