    Summary

    Pez blows into his hands and rubs them together to warm them. “Listen. Just… whatever happens in there, say yes, alright?”

    “I don’t follow,” Henry says, his brow furrowing. “Say yes to what?”

    “Whatever opportunity comes knocking,” Pez says breezily. “You forget, I’ve seen your messages. The booze is flowing tonight, and everyone’s got their best fit on – so opportunity will knock, and you will say yes.”

    (A movieverse New Year's Eve fix-it that started as crack and turned into crack taken seriously. With dancing. And smut. Like... a lot of smut.)

    Summary

    "For Christmas this year, all I would like is a best friend who doesn’t mind too much that I’m a prince. Most of my classmates poke fun because of who I am, or treat me like I’m too special to be their friend. I want a best friend who knows me as much as my family does and still likes me. I know that you can’t wrap a best friend up in a box and put it under the tree, but you’re magic so you know the best way to bring one."

    (Movieverse canon divergence; Prince Henry, age 8, writes to Father Christmas wishing for a best friend. A few weeks later, he finds one.)

    Summary

    The house is quiet. The early morning is still and mostly silent out here, punctuated only by the odd siren and occasional horn still celebrating Ellen’s victory.

    ‘Fuck, it’s so weird being back here,’ Alex murmurs, moving through the room. His feet shuffle across dusty hardwood floors and his fingertips skate over the furniture – all still there, exactly how they left it. Alex doesn’t know why they left it like this, like they would be coming back to it soon; why they'd treated moving to DC just like they had when June had left for college and nobody had touched anything in her room because it was still hers. Maybe, deep-down, they’d all been worried they’d be back here in four years. June is twenty-five now, but her room is still upstairs just as she left it on her first day for her senior year at UT; Alex is twenty-two and his is just like he left it when he was eighteen, wide-eyed, with a head full of dreams and a heart full of fire.

    ---
    In the early hours of the morning on election night, Alex looks back and then, with Henry at his side, he looks forward.

    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

    FICTION TO FRICTION?: English Darling Henry Fox tops American Heartthrob Alex Claremont-Diaz in scandalous new photos from launch party of raunchy gay novel

    At the lavish launch party thrown for his spicy queer romance novel, author (and Bond Baby) Henry Fox finds himself on the floor with the man who graces the cover, Alex Claremont-Diaz. The model was tapped to be the cover boy a few months back, and he has been on a clear ascent since. The greatly anticipated novel promises to bring the heat, and the photos from the event already have us sweating. The latest interaction has many wondering what the relationship between these two really is. Has a new rivalry come onto the scene, or perhaps are they the next international power couple? Their respective teams have refused to comment on the topic. We will be keeping an eye on Fox’s European book tour for international incidents.

    Alternatively titled: being gay around europe
