Summary
Objectively, I am aware that you – a stranger – cannot tell me my own sexuality any better than I can, however... Can you, please? Tell me? It’s 4am and I have been thinking about this for hours, and I can’t sleep.
Warmest regards,
ACD***
It’s four in the morning, and Alex Claremont-Diaz has managed to follow a research spiral straight down into a personal crisis. It isn’t the first time.

Summary
Alex looks at him, like Henry’s a speck of dirt on his pristine chinos. “Why would June send you to check up on me?”
“Because I’m her best friend and you’re her brother?”
“I always said she has bad taste.”
“Well,” Henry smiles. It feels as placid on his face as it probably looks. “I would say the same thing, but family doesn’t account for one’s taste, unfortunately.”
in which henry fox is june’s childhood best friend and alex claremont-diaz is june’s younger brother. as the years pass, they tolerate each other at best and are downright destructive at worst. until they begin falling into each other's beds.

Elevator buttons and morning air by dollarstoreannabethchase for goldenpatronus

Summary
Last night, Alex hooked up with the most attractive man to ever exist after getting stuck together in the elevator of his apartment complex. He's incredible, but the second day of the job that will make or break his career is not the time to be starting a relationship; even if he kind of wants to scream every time he thinks about Henry.
So you can imagine his fucking surprise when he walks into the office the next day and sees none other than his Henry—elevator Henry, blue-eyed, British, dreamy, with thighs for days Henry—standing and talking to Pez. It’s in that moment that it all clicks, and Alex realizes. He’s Henry, as in, Henry, his other boss. Henry, his boss, a.k.a. the man who was on his knees in Alex’s bedroom last night. He is so fucked.
Or: Alex and Henry get stuck in an elevator together; Chaos ensues.

Summary
“Hey, man. Can I get a black coffee to go?”
“Er…” he says – a faintly bewildered expression on his face. “Yes, I imagine so.”
Turns out the guy is also British, which is like, whatever. Alex gives him one of his best smiles. “Great, thanks.”
Hot Barista glances vaguely around himself, then back to Alex. He looks simultaneously surprised and uncertain, like some kind of aggressively handsome time-traveller who’s been unexpectedly yeeted into a different century. After a beat, he says – “From me?”
“Uh yeah. You’re working here, right?”
“Well... yes?”
Alex tries very hard not to sigh.
Great. Looks like he’s dealing with one of those people who are so attractive, they’ve never had the need to develop any kind of personality beyond that of a Tupperware container of room-temperature potato salad.
Alex absolutely does not have time for whatever this shit is.***
Five times Henry serves Alex coffee and one time Alex serves Henry.
Strap in, folks. It's a coffee shop AU ...Kind of.

Summary
“Henry straightens up, head snapping over to look at the new arrivals. Then there’s the sound of a voice he’s not heard in ten years, a voice he never thought he’d hear again.
“Fuck, I can’t cook tonight. I think I’d rather starve.”
Henry stares, mouth dropped open. A head of curly brown hair turns slowly his way and his heart explodes.
“Henry?” Alex says, and Henry can’t bring himself to reply, so he just keeps staring. Alex looks at him for a few more seconds, eyes wide, blinking furiously, before swiftly turning on the spot and walking away from him and into the woods, but not before Henry can see the distraught look on his face.”—
Henry and Alex first met and fell in love as teenagers, while on holiday in Jamaica. Ten years later, they run into each other again, and have to deal with the emotional fallout of how things ended last time. And fall in love again along the way, of course.

Summary
“One more thing you should know,” Pez adds as Henry takes the invitation from him. “June Claremont-Diaz is coming.”
Henry freezes.
June Claremont-Diaz isn’t the problem. She’s a lovely girl, and her articles about their shelter openings have always been kind. Pez has invited her to each fundraiser since the Los Angeles shelters’ opening, and she’s attended every single one, happy to participate in the theme if she can get a good article out of it.
No, the problem isn’t June Claremont-Diaz. The problem is her brother.
Or, Henry and Pez’s new shelter is opening in Brooklyn, and Henry is determined to spend the entire night avoiding Alex, while Alex is determined to do the exact opposite of that.

Summary
Alex fights the frustration welling up in his stomach, gritting his teeth so hard his jaw hurts. The thing is, this isn’t the first time he’s lost out on a date because they’ve been threatened by what he shares with Henry. He doesn’t know what it is about their relationship that seems to scare people off, or make them think they’re not welcome around the duo. He feels more emotionally connected to Henry than to anyone else, but swears he doesn’t treat Henry any differently to how he would treat any other friend.
Except for the cuddles on the couch.
And the pet names.
And maybe he’s a little touchier with Henry than he is with Nora or his lacrosse teammates.
And okay, maybe he openly flirts with Henry more than necessary, but it’s so fun seeing Henry blush and seeing his cool façade crumble to dust in front of him, and it’s even more fun when Henry is feeling a little silly and flirts back.
…oh.
or
5 times Alex and Henry get mistaken for a couple, and one time it’s not a mistake.

Forty-Four Days by bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
"God, I haven't seen you in forty-four days," Alex suddenly spits, and Henry feels the pain of his words in his own chest, like ice replacing the blood in his veins. Because that's it, isn't it? Forty-four days of separation. Forty-four days of waking up to an empty bed, of making coffee along with his tea only to realize that Alex isn't there to drink it, of long meetings without any of Alex's witty jokes, of cold hands on chilly autumn walks because Alex isn't there to warm them up.
Maybe it's the simple fact of hearing for the first time, or maybe it's the tipping point of the taxing day, but Henry feels something inside of him snap, and —
And all he knows is that he needs to see Alex now.

Summary
Dr. Eden sighs and looks them both in the eyes. “I’m not going to lie to you. There is a possibility that he will never recover his memories. But, there are things we can do to help him along. I’ve already told him about the memory loss. He knows it’s 2023 and that he lost almost four years of memories. I think it may be best to update him on his current situation. His day to day life is drastically different then it was in 2019, is that correct?”
“Yeah, I would say.” Alex huffs out a bitter laugh.
Henry is in an accident and thinks it's still 2019. He still believes Alex hates him, and Alex is a just as much of a mess as you think he would be.

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
Alex propositions Henry - it doesn't go to plan - until it does.
"He'd had this dream last week. A sex dream. They still hadn't desecrated Henry's study yet, and instead of taking Henry against the desk or the tall window like he'd thought about, Alex had been seated in the plush reading chair by the window while Henry rode him. It was a very effective dream and it had taken Alex two whole days afterwards to realise why he was still thinking about it: they hadn't ever tried that before. They'd tied each other to the bed and blindfolded each other and Henry had even spanked him once, so why hadn’t they done this?"

It’s incredible, really; he spent almost all day trying, willing himself into slumber, but after less than an hour of listening to Alex’s soothing voice and looking at his beautiful face, Henry is just moments away from the most peaceful sleep he’s had in weeks. God, why don’t they just do this every night? Henry might be able to get his sleep cycle back to normal if he only had Alex talk to him whenever it was time for bed.
Or, five times Alex helps Henry fall asleep.
