Summary
Alex snorts and shakes his head. “Bullshit. Ok, I can’t know for sure since this is the first time we’re actually witnessing Tyrannosaurus behaviour, but I can just tell, you know?” he says with an emphatic gesture. “What they’re doing has all the hallmarks of mating behaviour. I’m certain that if we gave them an egg, they’d raise it together.”
“So, what you’re telling me is that my family has unwittingly created a lesbian dinosaur utopia.”
“I mean… yeah, you could certainly put it that way,” Alex allows.
Henry laughs, practically giddy. “I think that may be the best thing I’ve heard all year.”
(After spending too many years writing internal memos, Henry's looking forward to his new assignment: writing educational materials for an unprecedented theme park that promises to change the world. He's also not complaining about the fact that he'll have to work in close proximity to the park's scorching hot chief paleontologist, Dr. Alex Claremont-Diaz. After a rocky start, they find common ground and a successful partnership in helping protect the park's residents—until an unexpected tropical storm and a security shutdown leaves them fighting for their lives.)

Summary
“Hazza, darling,” Percy coos through the cell bars. “Your knights in shining armour have arrived. Alex is talking to the police officer and sorting out the legal stuff, and I am here for moral support.”
“Alex Alex?”
“Yes, Hazza. Your Alex.”
He’s certainly not Henry’s Alex. Not anymore.
“Surely you could have called someone else?”
“All I know is that I rang him and said we have a damsel in distress and he was at my front door ten minutes later.”
--
Henry ends up in jail after a terrible first date. It's pretty convenient that his best friend is a lawyer. If only they were still speaking to each other.

Summary
Still, Henry shakes his head and teases, “Whatever will you do without all those figure skaters and their short skirts around?”
“Fuck off, asshole!” Alex huffs with a laugh, shoving him hard in the shoulder, only to hook his arm around Henry’s neck and drag him closer. “Only thing I need for my Olympic experience is four gold medals. Besides, I got you to bug the shit out of. What more do I need?”
(Henry isn't expecting much out of his third Olympics—still climbing up the world ranks after an injury, he's not in the medal conversation, no matter how much his best friend and chief competitor, Alex Claremont-Diaz, might insist otherwise. After all, Alex is far and away the gold medal favourite, ranked first in the world and damn near uncatchable on a piste lately. Between that and the fact that they're hundreds of kilometres away from most of the other Olympic venues, he expects the games to be relatively quiet. Low key. Downright unremarkable.
He couldn't be more wrong.)

The End of the End (We Live Again) by chamel for darwinsfinches

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.)

Bluebonnets and Polo Mallets by chamel
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
27 Jun 2025

Summary
“So, polo,” he says, looking Henry up and down. The contrast between their appearances—with Henry in his clean white breeches and pale blue Ariat-branded polo shirt—is stark. “That’s the one that’s like croquet on horseback, right?”
Henry is so relieved that they’re not dwelling on his accidental come-on that he can’t even be that offended. Alex delivers the barb with that same teasing smirk, and Henry is forced to laugh as he scoffs. “Not exactly.”
(As a professional polo player, rodeo is a foreign world to Henry. But when his new sponsor organises a photoshoot with a top rodeo star, he finds his life turned upside down by a bronco rider with big brown eyes and dark curls. Surely this won't become a problem...)

Summary
Across the way, Alex reappears in the window with a mug of coffee cradled in his hands that’s so large it might properly be called a bowl. This time he looks over at Henry, smiling as he takes a sip, and gives a little wave.
Henry is so, so fucked.
(It’s one thing after another: Henry’s having one of the worst weeks of his life. Luckily, his new neighbour Alex is always there to look out for him.)

The Roommate Problem by chamel for firenati0n
Fandoms: Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
12 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
It would be one thing if they were just two roommates and friends, and maybe he could push a little and see where things went. He’s not that oblivious about these things, no matter what his sister might say, and he’s pretty sure he’s not completely alone in these feelings. But none of that is an option, because he’s not spending his twenties in Europe to have fun and fall in love with pretty British boys.
(Or, not your typical roommate AU)

Summary
When Alex landed his first job as a stuntman, his dad had sat him down to pass on some advice. Don’t take on more than you can handle just to impress someone, he’d said, and never hide injuries. Always speak up if you’re concerned about safety on set. Make sure to always get enough sleep. And never, ever, get involved with the actors.
He never said anything about directors, though.
(When Alex agreed to take a job doing stunts for a movie directed by his ex, all he wanted was to make it out in one piece. After a rocky start, they figure out a way to work together again, but that new equilibrium is tested when the film’s lead actor goes missing and Alex finds himself thrown into a world of secrets, blackmail, and people actually trying to kill him. Saving Henry’s movie just might be his most dangerous stunt yet, but can he play the hero, or is he destined to be the fall guy?)

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
When he opens his eyes he’s no longer in Brooklyn.
To be fair, that’s the least pressing issue at the moment. Top of that list would be the absolutely excruciating pain in forearm and, oh yeah, the fact that people are shooting at him.
(Well past the age where most people have swapped bodies with their soulmate, Alex has all but given up on the idea that he might have one. But when he suddenly swaps in the middle of a rooftop chase and finds himself caught up in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he quickly discovers how far he's willing to go to save his soulmate's life.)

5+1 rival co-workers
5 times Alex and Henry put a pin in it, and 1 time they circle back
-
Henry claims it was an accident.
Not including someone in an email chain, when the someone is Alex and the email chain is the link and deadline for submitting your department’s budget request for the next financial year, that’s fucking sabotage.
So not only did Alex miss out on the chance to request an increase in budget, which he fucking needs because his team are working incredibly long hours and he needs to hire more people and also find some ways to streamline their processes, he actually lost budget. No new staff this year, no process simplification, just a team that’s overworked and underpaid and mad at Alex about it.
And, okay, Henry did send him a Teams message — so sorry Alex, it was an accident — the day the new budgets were shared and Alex realised he’d missed a cut-off he’d never been advised of. And that was it. Didn’t offer to give Alex part of his own budget, or to loan him an extra staff member to help out. Didn’t even find him in person to fucking talk it out.

He knows Alex is here. Henry can sense him, even if he didn’t already feel like he was reliving a fond memory.
Henry walks through the doorway into the darkened kitchen, and there he is, sitting on the counter. Just like the first time, except he’s not on his phone.Series

Summary
“This might be the best one yet,” Henry comments, picking up another forkful of cheesecake and holding it out toward Alex. “Cheers to another successful con.”
They clink their forks, sharing small secret smiles over their free dessert before exiting the restaurant with their fingers interlocked and thanking the hostess, while all the servers watch them leave with hearts in their eyes.
Exactly the way they’d fucking planned it.

Summary
The man doesn't even know how lucky he is to be in the same room as Henry, much less talking to him.
Alex understands, though.
When he talks to Henry, Alex hangs onto every word because he knows their inherent value, that they're more precious than the purest gold. When given the opportunity, he makes sure to appreciate the soft curve of Henry's lips, the sharp line of his jaw, all while listening intently to whatever Henry has decided to share with him.
Alex gets it. He knows how sacred those moments are.
But the difference is, Alex is in love with Henry.
He has been for a while now.
And that is why he's drunk.

Summary
“I shouldn't have any fucking complaints, okay? I know that. But I just…” Alex sniffs, and Henry wonders in horror if he's on the verge of tears. “I wish people wanted me for… more.”
“More,” Nora repeats, sounding infinitely less antagonistic all of a sudden. “What do you mean?”
“Not just for my body, or sex,” Alex clarifies, and there is the distinct sound of a chair creaking before he continues. “Is it too much to ask for someone to want all of me? For… For Henry to want all of me?”
Oh, but Henry does.
He would do anything that Alex asked, give Alex everything he has, and take whatever Alex offered without question.
Part of Henry wants to burst through the barrier separating them, drop to his knees in front of Alex and offer up his bruised and scarred heart. The organ hasn't belonged to Henry since the moment he laid eyes on Alexander Claremont-Diaz, and Henry would give Alex all of the more he could ever want, if given permission.
Alex should know that.
It's Henry's fault that he doesn't.

Alex pauses, then says, “Truth.”
“Interesting play,” Nora muses. “But okay. Answer this: have you ever seen Henry naked and, if so, what did you think?”
Henry nearly chokes on his own saliva.
Bea whines. “Could we not?”
“Too late,” Pez points out, tilting his head at Alex. “Answer the question.”
“It was two questions,” Alex argues, his knee bouncing. “That’s against the rules.”
“Answer the second one then.”
Henry looks over at June, who seems suddenly invested in their game. She meets his gaze with a twisted smile and soft eyes, like she knows.
“I don't know if it's fair to—”
Nora interrupts him. “Answer, Alex. That's the game.”

Summary
Nora isn’t wrong on either front—the man is fucking beautiful. He might be the most stunning human being Alex has ever seen.
But he keeps brushing sand off of his ankles as if it’s personally offending him, nose wrinkled as he surveys the shoreline, bag still perched awkwardly on his shoulder.
Alex thinks he looks a little lost, and not in the sense that he doesn’t know that he’s found himself at the beach, but more in the metaphorical sense. Something about his eyes as he looks around with a white-knuckled grip on the strap of his bag, brow pinched on his forehead, makes Alex think he needs saving.
And, well.
Rescuing people is literally in Alex’s job description.
He just gets the bizarre sense that maybe he could be the person for the task.

Summary
But Henry is not Alex’s.
He won’t ever be Alex’s to hold and cherish and love.
Because Henry chose someone else.
That searing pain is why Alex has folded his limbs into a patio bench on their balcony, feeling petulant and hating himself for it. It’s the reason that he’s a quarter of the way into the bottle he’s holding and pouting up at the sky, looking for stars that he knows are there but aren’t showing themselves to him, like maybe they’ve abandoned him, too.
He feels like he’s staring up at an endless expanse of darkness and wishing on fucking nothing, his prayers falling on deaf ears and getting forever lost in that infinite abyss.
