    Summary

    “Mr. Fox, you’re going to need to make sure to schedule his follow up appointment before you leave today, but I’ll make sure to have them do that on your way out.”

    Alex nearly chokes on his tongue as he nods and tries to get his brain back online. Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox.It’s on a loop in his brain and within seconds his heart becomes so full and excited it felt like it would burst right there in his chest.
    ie; Henry has an accident at work and when Alex goes to see him and a nurse calls him the wrong name he spirals in a good way.

    Summary

    “Do you want to pet the bunny, Bud?” Alex managed to ask, his voice sounding way calmer than he felt.

    Micah shook his head yes, and reached out and slowly pet the bunny. Alex watched his son with a smile, but then made the mistake of catching Henry’s eyes.

    BLUE.

    Henry’s eyes widened and his pupils dilated as he looked back at Alex. Alex could not breathe for a second, and Henry seemed to be frozen too, until Micah’s voice popped the bubble.

    Or
    Alex takes his kids to a Nature Center birthday party. Henry works at the nature center and shows the kids animals.

    Summary

    Standing in front of him was Alex, as beautiful today as he had been months and months ago. “Alex?”

    “Uh… yeah,” Alex said, scratching the back of his neck. “Do I… know you?”

    What.

    “What?”

    “Sorry, I’m just a little confused-”

    “No, it’s just… Nothing has been the same since you left.”

    “Since I left? Where? Texas?”

    “No, since you left me. Well, I made you leave-”

    “Sorry to interrupt, but I don’t think we’ve ever met.”

    OR

    Henry let himself lose Alex. Percy, the well-meaning and eternally mysterious librarian, decides it's time to intervene.

    Summary

    “Excuse me, I’m sorry. Are one of you Mr. Fox?”

    Henry looks up, opens his mouth to answer, and promptly forgets the entirety of the English language when he sees the source of the voice.

    The most beautiful man Henry has ever seen is poking his head into the classroom, blinking at Henry and Pez with big, beautiful brown eyes and eyelashes that Henry can see from across the room. He’s wearing a black v-neck t-shirt underneath a leather jacket, and the shirt is doing nothing to hide the coarse hair poking out from the collar. His jeans fit his form a little too perfectly—Henry is an ass man, sue him—and everything inside of him knows that if he allowed this beautiful man into his orbit, he would set Henry on fire.

    Summary

    “Guys, this is Alex, he's my childhood best friend who's back in town. Alex, this is Percy—”

    “Pez, darling. Like the sweets.” Pez grins, his white teeth pairing perfectly with his lavender hair, and Alex likes him immediately.

    “Of course, Pez. And this is Henry.”

    Alex meets Henry's gaze, and for a brief moment, time seems to stand still.

    Henry is… well, he's the most beautiful human Alex has ever seen.

    Summary

    The thing about Catalina June Claremont-Diaz and Nora Holleran is that they’re in love. They always have been. Even when Nora was with Alex and June was with Henry they were in love.

    Summary

    Alex thinks he knows what love looks like — sharp edges, grand gestures, fire.

    Henry offers none of that. Just quiet consistency. Kindness. A softness Alex mistakes for friendship.

    Or, 5 times Henry showed Alex he was in love, and 1 time Alex finally noticed.

    Summary

    Pez hasn’t spoken with Henry in a few days. Not that it’s unusual, they are both busy people, but this time, there is an alarm blaring in Pez’s head.  He isn’t sure how it works, but Pez has this psychic thing, call it what you will, a sixth sense, ESP, intuition, clairvoyance, maybe a little magic, but Pez has an understanding of what other human beings need. He has never been able to find an explanation to fit, it’s more than empathy, sometimes he hears echoes of their past or sees a vision of their future.

    Not canon but close, Pez is mystical/magical and knows how to help.

    Summary

    “Alex,” Nora blurted, breathless. “You’re gay.”

    “Huh?”

    “You’re gay.”

    Alex squinted at her.

    “Be gay. Be gay. Be gay,”

    Alex looked down at his beer. “Be gay?”

    Before he could question further, Nora stepped aside and ushered a man into the apartment—clean-cut, well-dressed, and visibly confused. Must be Ian.

    Ian laughed politely. “Oh, you must be Alex.”

    “Well,” Alex replied slowly, “friends call me Gay Alex.” He beamed, completely missing the way Nora cringed behind Ian’s back.

     

    or - Alex helps Nora get-laid, but finds love instead (inspired by New Girl)

    Summary

    “I broke up with Benedict. You can say ‘I told you so’.”

    Not that kind of news then. Well, if he's being completely honest, this is exactly the kind of news he was expecting today.

    “Oh. Well, go on and tell Auntie Pezza everything, poppet.” Pez takes off his sunglasses for his best mate’s rant.

    or

    5 times Henry ran to Pez after a break up, and 2 times he called him for a completely different reason.

    Summary

    There is a constant sound in his ears -beep, beep, beep. He can also hear distant voices, but he doesn’t recognize them.
    When he opens his eyes, he blinks rapidly to adjust his sight. The room is almost dark, just a ray of sunshine coming through the window. He is confused: this room is not familiar, this is not his bed, and the walls are white, unlike the soft blue of his bedroom’s walls.

    When he tries to move his hands, they are weird. Something is holding them back. He lifts them and sees cables and an IV line connected to his left arm.

    He panics.

    ________________

    Henry wakes up after two years in a coma. This is how he reacts when he learns that everyone has moved on, even Alex.

    Summary

    Apparently this is "sad" but "lush" and "layered." Except "oof." Who knew it would end up like this? Be warned.

    --

    After winning the 2020 election comes life. Life as it happens. Life as it changes, sometimes abruptly.

    You’ll get the early years in Brooklyn. You’ll get references to what I’d woven into Henry's journals from a year ago. You'll get time jumps. You’ll get long-term couple Alex and Henry.

    You’ll get, as one soft-hearted reader once said, a sense of “what this sweet, self-tortured soul makes of his life.” You’ll once again get very specific vibes and stylistic choices no one asked for. Vibe-driven shit for real-ass adults.

    Summary

    Henry has always believed in soulmates. He’s spent years imagining what it would be like, who it would be, how it would change him. But when he wakes up one day with a soulmate mark burned into his skin and no recollection of who put it there, it’s nothing like he expected, especially because the only clue he has leads to Alex—sharp-tongued, reckless, and wholly uninterested in fate.

    Alex doesn’t believe in soulmates. Or, at least, he refuses to, because if he acknowledges what happened that night, then he has to confront the truth he’s been desperately trying to avoid: that Henry means something to him, something terrifying and impossible to ignore.

    As fate pulls and twists its strings tighter and tighter, making tensions rise and emotions unravel, Alex is forced to decide—will he keep running, or will he finally choose Henry?

    Summary

    “Hey, H.”

    The nickname is a relic of someone years in the past, a boy Alex probably doesn’t know anymore. Still, it drips off his tongue moved by instinct.

    Maybe the syllables should taste bitter on their way out. Maybe the pet-name soaked in nights spent cocooned between the rustle of tree branches and wrap of sleeping bags, in utter familiarity and knowingness, should remind Alex of everything Henry has stopped being to him.

    It doesn’t.

    ---
    or, Alex's stubborn heart never stopped loving Henry.
