Summary
“I’m going to let you say what you need to say, and then I’d like you to leave.”
“… like you to leave.”
“… leave.”
Henry’s last words to him. Words that have been reverberating and ricocheting around the expanse of Alex’s brain ever since. He doesn’t have a clear memory of when the conversation happened anymore. Doesn’t remember the last time he spoke to Henry or when the thought of him didn’t send pointed shards of glass through his heart.
Or; if Alex had left Kensington when Henry asked.

Summary
Henry’s gift—ensuring that it is perfect, and on time—is more important.
Alex places the order a few weeks before Christmas, paying extra for premium shipping and making absolutely certain that it would be delivered before Christmas.
On the day it arrives, Alex feigns illness so that he can go home early and intercept the package before Henry lays eyes on the original box.
He really hopes that Henry likes it. It’ll mean a lot to Alex if he does.

Summary
Henry bites his lower lip and glances past Alex towards the bar area. “I, er… Christ, I suppose a rescue wouldn’t hurt. I definitely can’t keep conversing with him if he ever comes back.”
“If you mean getting talked at by Boastful McEgo for another hour as he gets more and more drunk… yeah, no.” Alex stands up and offers a hand to Henry.
“Wait, the bill-“
“-is his problem. Come on, I bet there’s a crepe stand or something open late. I’m absolutely making sure you don’t starve if nothing else.”
“Charming.” Henry cracks a smile and takes Alex’s proffered hand. “Lead the way.”
// Alex steps in when he witnesses a stranger on a hellish first date. Little did he know how well that would turn out for the both of them.

pants optional by ninzied for jafffacakes

Summary
Henry had been very pleased to discover that Alex and Nora were also a shoeless household, but he’d stared at the SHOES OFF, PANTS OPTIONAL mat at their door for longer than strictly advised because, well. Pants means something different where he’s from, all right, and Alex had been standing right there and the corresponding visual was not—well it wasn’t—Henry was not equipped to deal with it at the moment. Or ever, really, for that matter.
.
Or, Henry likes his routines, and his neighbor Alex likes to wreck them just the right amount.

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
Alex ungraciously flops down onto the bed, propped on his elbow, Henry’s left calf outstretched beneath his armpit. “Do I need to ask again, cariño?”
Henry blinks, but keeps playing the guitar quietly. He likes for his hands to remain occupied. It’s a convenient, distracting focus point for when your crush lays across your legs, looks up at you with the longest eyelashes you’ve ever seen, and calls you sweetheart using one of the fucking romance languages. “Hm?”
Or – the childhood-friends-to-lovers AU inspired by “This Song” by Conan Gray.

Summary
Alex is flawlessly executing his action plan.
Except. He's not.
He's trying to catch a plane from NYC to LA for June's big movie premiere, but everything is going wrong. When he finally boards a plane, his inflight entertainment unit is broken. Which would be fine, if it weren't for the rude stranger seated next to him.

Summary
If you had asked Alex growing up what he wanted to be, he would have said a lawyer. A politician like his parents. Maybe something in business. Never would he have dreamed he would become a fucking chef, of all things.
Alex watches the snow swirling outside and seriously considers going home, though it’s hard to stand up. He knows that he should try and salvage what little sleep he still can until they have to do this all over again tomorrow. He’s about to force himself to do the right thing when Henry Fox, his restaurant manager, shows up at his side holding a bottle of their best house red.
The wine combined with the one year anniversary of Alex accomplishing his dream of running his own restaurant leads to some additional revelations...
