    Summary

    “A stolen weekend in London turns into a race against time when love, loyalty, and life hang by a thread. How will they cope? What scars will it leave behind... this time around?”

    Hope you enjoy it!

    PS: The title is from Taylor Swift’s TTPD album: "So Long, London"—the song fits this story a little too well to ignore.

    Summary

    Alex and Henry are out to the public and Alex's Mom is President again, the pressure is off and life syncs into a new regular rhythm. Despite the leaks of their previous emails, Alex and Henry miss their correspondents and find themselves falling into old habits.

    Or

    Alex and Henry are long distance (most of the time) and are soppy, horny idiots in love.

    [Ft. Occasional super six group chats, cheeky emails between Zahra and Shaan and our favourite agents chatting shit about the little shits they look after etc]

    Summary

    Alex sees the second Henry makes his decision. He sees him look past Alex’s curls, to the gilded mirror on the other side of his room. He sees him release a tiny, earth-shattering sigh.
    “Leave.” Henry says, his voice a whisper. His eyes are fixed on the oriental rug beneath their feet.
    Frost licks its way over Alex’s heart. Dread. “Henry–”
    “Alex.” Henry’s looking at him now, eyes red-rimmed and so, so dull. Alex, unforgivably, wants to kiss them.
    “Leave,” Henry says, and his voice is cold as stone, cold as Alex’s heart, and Alex snaps his mouth shut and turns on his heel.
    He flees.

    __

    Eight years after Henry tells Alex to get out of his life, Alex is fine. He’s great, actually: He’s a state representative for the 46th district of Texas, and he’s running a record-breaking campaign to be the youngest Texan senator of all time— and certainly the most progressive one. He’s done a lot of good work. He’s helped a lot of good people. He’s doing what he’s supposed to do.

    Everyone else in his life seems to disagree, but Alex knows that, really, he’s absolutely fine.

    Summary

    Alex just stared.

    His brain simply refused to process what it was seeing.

    Because standing in the hallway was Henry.

    Alex wasn’t sure it wasn’t a cruel hallucination created by sleep deprivation. There was no way Henry was really here a year later.

    "Hello, Alex," Henry said softly.

    The familiar accent hit Alex like a punch to the chest.

    "I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but..." Henry swallowed. "Could we talk?"

    Or:

    Henry asks Alex to leave when he goes to Kensignton. A year later, he comes out.

    Summary

    Alex has a habit of saying “just five minutes.”

    Henry has a habit of believing him.

    Or, five times Alex and Henry fell asleep somewhere they absolutely shouldn’t have, and one time they chose to stay exactly where they were.
