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.

“You called me here because of a fucking barista?”
Nora triumphantly grins. “A very attractive barista,” she counters, and—well, she has a point, but Alex walked five minutes in a snowstorm to get here. He refuses to acknowledge that staring at a cute guy for five minutes makes up for it.
“You’re unbelievable.” A smile spreads on Nora’s face. “You fucking… You called me here because you wanted me to set you up with a hot barista?”
Or, 5 times Alex thinks Henry's into Nora, and 1 time he finds out the truth.

Summary
It happens on a random morning in May when Alex, age fourteen, pads into the kitchen to greet his mother and steal a waffle from June's plate and sees a man sitting at their breakfast counter, reading a newspaper, a cup of coffee raised to his lips. Like he belongs. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. June doesn't seem to give the man a second thought. She merely flicks Alex on the forehead and takes back the waffle. Ellen isn't worrying, either. In fact, she's talking to him. Asking what his schedule is like. Making plans for dinner.
Alex has never seen this man before in his life.

Summary
“Yes, Alex, what a terrible destiny,” Nora says. “To be hosted for a week by all these charming rich people, who have bent over backwards to accommodate us, including sending their own carriage into town to fetch us. How very dare we drag you into their nefarious scheme.”

Summary
Alex is smart and witty and kind and clever and driven…but graceful, he is not. Several stints in the ER within one semester can confirm this unfortunate fact. The only good thing to come out of wracking up his out of pocket co-pay is the gorgeous nurse with beautiful eyes and a killer smile. Maybe breaking several bones is kinda worth it.
Basically: several times Alex was a clumsy wreck and Henry had to patch him up.

Summary
Soulmarks determine your soulmate—whoever shares your mark is the person you’re meant to be with for the rest of your life. Alex’s nails dig into the picture as he remembers the words from all those years ago, the pamphlet he’s read so often it’s etched into his mind. He turns his wrist and places his own mark next to the boy’s.
The scale mocks him in its asymmetry. Regardless of Alex’s wishes, it didn’t morph into the stages of the moon in the last five minutes.
Alex stares at the boy a few seconds longer, the bright blue eyes and sandy blonde strands so beautiful he inadvertently likens it to sunshine. His lips are curled into a secret smile and just for a moment, Alex dreams that the smile is for him, reaching across the ocean, warming the secret parts of his heart he’ll never admit he has. He allows himself another moment with the boy before he moves away, leaving the magazine on his sister’s desk.
Princes don’t fall in love with boys anyway.
Or, 5 times Alex and Henry think they don't belong together, and one time they do.

Summary
The glow of Paris spills through the open window, pouring a golden hue over the room as if honey drenches every surface. The air feels thick with it, so sticky and sweet that Alex wonders if it can be tasted on their skin. Time buckles under the influence and the seconds pass achingly slow, allowing him to chronicle every glorious detail.
They are really doing this.

Summary
“So what you’re telling me is that you’ve begun some kind of weird aggressive mating ritual with an English professor,” Nora says around obscenely large bites of her burrito.
“How the fuck—” Alex splutters, because he honestly has no clue how she came to that conclusion. “We’re not flirting. We’re at war.”
(It starts with a polite request to erase the whiteboards at the end of class. It gets a lot more ridiculous before it ends.)

Summary
“I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”
“Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.
(After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)

Summary
Henry had been so excited when he’d announced it to their little group, gathered one evening at the pub, that David was going to be coming over to the States. He’d gone on and on—an impossibly soft look in his eyes—about how much he missed him, and how great it would be to finally have him here, and how everyone would love him.
Alex has his doubts. He’s not jealous, because that would be absurd. Henry’s one of his best friends. It’s not— It’s not like that between them. He’s happy for Henry, truly.
He just doesn’t understand why Henry wouldn’t previously have mentioned that his boyfriend is a fucking shapeshifter.
(Alex isn’t exactly thrilled to meet Henry’s boyfriend David—obviously a shapeshifter—but what really bothers him is the fact that David refuses to show his human face.)

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU.)

Summary
“There you are, love. Did you forget you were supposed to wait for me?” Henry fucking Fox says smoothly, smiling at him like it’s expected. Like they planned this. Like Alex should have known that MI6 would show up and blow up his operation—ok, given the number of times this particular MI6 agent has stuck his prissy nose in Alex’s business, maybe he should have—
Henry glances over to the bouncer as he adjusts his cufflinks. “He’s with me.”
(Working a mission with MI6 agent Henry Fox is already Alex’s idea of a disaster, but when things go sideways and Henry gets dosed with a dangerous drug, things get more complicated than he ever could have imagined.)

Summary
Alex can’t help but stare. The eyes are the hardest part, or so Nora says. All the Secret Service agents’ eyes have a kind of strange metallic glint behind them. Often it’s not even noticeable, but if you look too closely, it becomes obvious. Prince Henry’s eyes are flawless, though. Just endless, perfect blue. Really, the only flaw Alex can see in this model is that they made him inhumanly beautiful. No real person has lips like that.
(In the year 2068, First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz meets an AIDE named Prince Henry who makes him rethink everything he thought he knew about the world.)

Summary
“Obviously, Henry’s not willing to try it,” Alex says to the room with a shrug and a shit-eating smirk. “Can’t force someone to be collegial.”
“Christ,” Henry groans, then he’s stomping across the room and snatching one half of the oodie up, a challenge flashing in his eyes as he stares down at Alex. “A minute, was it?”
(Or, 3 times Alex and Henry were forced to share the couples oodie and 1 when they shared because they wanted to.)

Summary
"Just, you know," Henry says. "If your mum weren't the president and you were just a normal bloke living a normal life, what things might be like? What you'd be doing instead?"
After being discovered on Instagram as a teenager, Alex Diaz is thriving as a social media influencer and model who just landed a high profile, high fashion contract with Calvin Klein. Alex can get any girl he wants, and he’s loving it. Meanwhile, British poet Henry Fox has just arrived in L.A. to kick off a North American tour promoting his new, steamy book of gay erotic poetry, and he’s attracting a lot of attention.
Bad blood is immediately sparked between them when Henry blows Alex off at their first meeting. Several tabloid rumors and an Instagram tantrum later, Alex and Henry are reluctantly thrust together to make nice, resulting in a grudging friendship and a magnetism between them that Alex can't explain. Why is Henry's poetry making Alex feel like this? And just what is it about Henry Fox that gets to him so much?- Language:

Summary
She looks at him in the way only June can. She's the only one he'll allow it from without a fight. "I don't know if you're ready to have this conversation or not."
His fork clatters to the plate in front of him. "What is that supposed to mean?"
June sighs a sigh of long-suffering and pinches the bridge of her nose, before she looks him dead in the eye and sets his world upside down. "You know you and Henry are dating, right?"
Alex gapes at her. Mouth hung open, eyes blown wide. "W-what?"
"I say this with all the love in the world," she says. "But sometimes, I swear, you are the most oblivious idiot on the face of the planet."
