i ask you how you’re doing (and i let you lie) by lycanthropuns

Summary
The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.
“God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”
Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

you turned a moment (into forever) by viciouslyqueer for coffeecatsme
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston

Summary
Sharing an apartment with Alex had seemed like a good idea at first. They’re best friends, prices in Brooklyn are absurd, and they had both been in urgent need of residence – it only made sense.
Except for the small, tiny, teeny, barely there fact that Henry has been in love with Alex from the first moment he laid eyes on him. And the fact that Alex doesn’t know, and can never find out.
—
Or, as coffeecatsme so eloquently put it: Roommates AU where Alex has insomnia and slips into Henry’s bed every night because it’s the only way he gets a good night’s sleep.

Summary
It’s not that he’s not thrilled for his best friend, or doesn’t want to be part of his big day. Henry wouldn’t miss Pez’s wedding for the world, and it’s going to be a wonderful day. But these days, weddings mostly serve to remind Henry of how far away something like that is for him. He hasn’t had a serious boyfriend in years, and he’s not getting any younger.
It’s fine. It’s just one day, after all. He just has to focus on Pez, on being happy for him and Liam, and he’ll make it through.
(After traveling to Texas for his best friend's wedding, Henry makes some questionable decisions, meets a gorgeous and intriguing stranger, and ends up kissing said stranger beneath the starlit sky. It's not a bad day. But maybe not the one he intended to spend the rest of eternity in.)

Summary
When Saturday inevitably dawns and Henry has not, in fact, succeeded in falling out of love with his chaotic disaster of a roommate, it’s not a surprise. All he can do is put on his grown-up pants and try to get through Alex’s tattoo appointment with minimal bloodshed.

Summary
With shaky hands, Henry pulls out the ring from the box, looking at Alex with tearful eyes that he adores so much. Asks, "Alex, darling, will you marry me?"
Alex lets out a watery laugh, swiping an arm across his face to get rid of the rapidly falling tears. He kneels down to cup Henry's face and brushes his thumbs across his cheekbones softly.
"Baby. Don't you remember?" Alex whispers, leaning their foreheads together. "We're already married."
or,
Alex "marries" his best friend when he's six-years-old. It just takes some time for them to fall in love, but they get there.Bookmarked by CosmicBeginning

Summary
There is no simple way to confess to someone what he wants. No way to articulate his need to be touched so deeply that his soul is laid bare and still-beating on the outside of his chest. The need to be known and fully understood without having to rely on his words to bridge the gaps. They always seem to fail him anyway.
Despite it all, Alex doesn’t actually have a problem with himself, nuances and inconsistencies and all. It’s everyone else that seems to never quite know what to do with it. How to handle him just right.
But, God. What he wouldn't give for someone that could.

Summary
He meant what he said before. He loved fucking Henry in missionary because he’s come to realize he loves kissing during sex. He also loves looking at Henry’s face as he comes, and Henry’s thighs around his waist urging him on was definitely one of the biggest turn ons he’s ever experienced.
Maybe it was safe to say missionary was his favorite position.Henry chuckled around his cup of tea when Alex told him about his recent discoveries about himself. “That’s flattering.”
“Well, of course.” Alex smiled, walking around the kitchen island. “You are a sight to be seen.” He kissed him quickly on the cheek. Then, because he was curious, he asked. “And you? What’s your favorite sexual position?”
And as Henry was about to respond, Alex realized. He had no idea what Henry was about to say.
“Oh my god, don’t say anything.” Henry closed his mouth again. “Oh my fucking god, I don’t know your favorite sexual position!”
Or; Alex wants to find out what Henry’s favorite sexual position is without Henry actually telling him. Experimentation ensues.

Summary
“Can we?” Alex asks, and Henry goes a bit wide eyed.
“You want to have sex with me right now?” With right now he means ‘right after seeing me in my ugly old pajamas,’ but Alex must interpret it as right now, ‘when we should be sleeping,’ because he says:
“I know it’s late, I have an early lecture.” He says, and that was not what Henry was implying. “But it’s fine, it’s just past midnight anyway.” He kisses Henry’s mouth. “Can we?” He repeats, and Henry nods eagerly.
Or: 4 times Henry doesn’t behave like a prince, and Alex loves it.

Summary
"I fell in love with you when I first saw you on my screen eons ago. There was this little boy with unruly curls, acting alongside his mother, and he had my heart. I fell in love with you when you pushed me into that bloody ocean, not caring about who I was, even though you totally knew, you arsehole," Henry laughs wetly.
"Baby, how could I not know you? I'd recognise you in every lifetime," Alex murmurs, brushing his thumb over Henry's knuckles.
or,
Alex, a retired child star, falls in love with Henry, the Prince of Wales, on a road trip without knowing he's the same man Alex has been talking to through letters since he was ten years old.- Language:

Summary
Alex just wanted a part-time job at the vintage store.
Instead, he got cursed objects, questionable burial practices, and a British antique dealer across the street who’s far too pretty for his own good. The tension is unbearable, the hauntings are escalating, and the ghosts are definitely watching.
Or: 5 times Henry says yes to helping Alex, and 1 time he says no.

Summary
Alex was home; alone. He had no idea why he watched an entire instructional on 'how to summon an incubus'. It was stupid, and part of him knew it was ridiculous. Still, he had all the ingredients, an orange to peel, flower petals, silver, an offering- the whiskey would do just fine. He could draw a sigil, light a few candles, sprinkle some cinnamon over the flames, nothing would happen, and he would go to bed.
Except something did happen, because now there was a man standing in the living room of Alex's home. A rather large man, certainly over six foot, broad and muscular, and currently pulling off a shirt that seemed too tight to begin with.Bookmarked by CosmicBeginning

Summary
As loud as Alex was, he knew to keep quiet when he was coming home late from June and Nora's. He wasn't a monster and he didn't particularly feel like waking Henri up at two in the morning because he slammed the front door shut too hard.
But as soon as the door was shut behind him and he was walking to his room, he had the sudden urge to scream because- oh.
He could hear the breathy, high-pitched moans from the minute he’d hung up his coat and he knew he should drop his keys and yell out, re-open and slam the door, just something to let the woman know he was home, but he found himself drifting toward the sound, eyes drawn to Henri's cracked-open bedroom door.
OR
Transfem Henry Fox. Henri and Alex are roommates... They're also head over heels in love with each other...

Newton's Fourth Law by dilfpickles

Summary
“Alex?”
Oh. Okay. Henry is a lot hotter in person. Like, way hotter. That should be illegal. He’s probably breaking the laws of physics or something. Alex is pretty sure one of Newton’s laws is along the lines of “an object cannot appear more attractive in person than in a photograph.” Yet, here Henry is, looking like a Greek god so, what does Newton know? He died a virgin, anyway.
“Hi,” he says because apparently, Henry’s attractiveness melted his brain, and he no longer has a functioning vocabulary. How the fuck is he supposed to live with this guy? He’s going to flunk out at the end of the first semester because seeing Henry every morning will make him forget everything he has ever learned about Constitutional law. This is ridiculous. Alex isn’t even gay.
In which Alex meets his new
very attractiveroommate through Reddit, downloads Grindr, and discovers some things about himself and his roommate in the process.- Language:

Summary
Alex trails off as Nora leans over to whisper something in June’s ear that causes her to laugh and fully turn her attention to Nora.
Pez, upon hearing the laughter of his goddess, also turns to be included in their conversation. Bea takes this time to pick up her phone and look through her notifications, then notes that most of their drinks are empty so she offers to get them refills.
He has, once again, successfully lost his audience.
It shouldn’t hurt so much, not anymore. Alex is pretty used to this.
They’ve never cut him off or spoken over him, it’s more subtle. It’s getting up for a bathroom break or whispering to each other or tilting phone screens to share a meme while he’s talking and should, theoretically, have their undivided attention. It’s always something.
It shouldn’t hurt.
He’s used to it.
It’s not personal, they say.
But it only happens to him.

Alex is used to being tuned out by his friends. Then, there’s Henry, all blue eyes and attentive. Alex sort of loves him.
