    Summary

    Prince Henry is somehow both everything and nothing like Alex expected him to be. He looks perfect, even though he is staring at his phone when Alex enters the room and takes a seat far out of the way.
    And then Prince Henry looks up, his eyes darting around as if he has no clue where he is, and lands on Alex’s face. There’s nothing there, though. No curiousness, no interest, no disdain, not a shimmer of any emotion. Prince Henry just looks at him with a blank stare until Mrs Hughes takes it upon herself to introduce Alex.
    “Henry,” the man responds. His eyes widen for a second before his face falls into a closed expression and says: “pleasure,” as if it’s anything but, and looks away.
    Right.
    Rude.

    ---

    Life has been throwing many challenges at Alex. The biggest one so far is becoming a single father. That might change, now that Alex has started a job as a solicitor for His Royal Highness Prince Henry.
    Prince Henry turns out to be different than Alex thought at first, and it doesn’t take long for them to become friends.
    But is that all they can be?

    Summary

    “Alright sweetheart, we’re going to get you taken care of, okay?”

    Henry was thankful his back was to the patient. It gave him a moment to close his eyes, to take a deep, calming breath. He was no use to this person if he wasn’t in control of himself. One more steadying breath as he snapped on his gloves, and he turned to face the bed.

    He wished that it was different. That a man this strong, strong enough to be awake through such disaster, could live.

    But Alex had called him “sweetheart”. And every single doctor and nurse in that bay knew what it meant when the best trauma surgeon in the state put on that soothing voice and called a patient “sweetheart”.

    OR

    3 times Alex called a patient "sweetheart" and 1 time someone called Alex "sweetheart"

    Summary

    Four years ago, seventeen-year-old Alex was kidnapped by a man he was supposed to trust. In the aftermath, he disappeared from the spotlight with his father, quietly rebuilding his life. Now, his mother insists it's time for him to return to the world, starting with a very public reappearance at Prince Phillip’s royal wedding.

    There, Alex meets Prince Henry, and the connection between them is instant and electric. But as their relationship deepens, Alex finds himself torn between falling for a closeted royal and preparing to face the man who once shattered his world in court.

    Then, just as he begins to reclaim his voice and his future, a shocking revelation from his mother about the truth behind his abduction threatens to upend everything. Can Alex and Henry hold on to each other through the storm, or will the weight of secrets and scars be too much to bear?

    Summary

    “Hi,” Ilya says, his attempt at making his voice a purr lost to how fucking happy he is, to have this, to see Shane Hollander in a way no one else ever gets to. He crosses the room and kneels over him, pulling him up into a kiss that Shane gives him easily, making a sweet, soft noise that makes Ilya want to bite him with how cute it is. Instead, he gets a handful of the edge of the soft, fuzzy blanket to whip it off of Shane and replace it with his own body-

    -only to be stopped when the blanket turns out to be far, far fucking heavier than he anticipated, pulling him up short when his attempt at a flick ends with barely moving the edge before it flops back down with audible weight.

    (ilya versus shane's weighted blanket)

    Summary

    Shane knows his mother would love him if he left the Metros, but he also knows that he could never give her a reason good enough for him to do so. She'd have an excuse, have a reason, have a way to make any event be something he could handle or deal with. They could probably make him commit murder, and she'd brush it off, let alone if Shane finally got tired of the weirdly racist and definitely homophobic comments that got made daily.
