    Summary

    The fall was so fast that Alex hadn’t even realized it happened until it was too late. He was utterly in love with Henry. Alex felt Henry in his soul, like he’d finally found his twin flame. Alex didn’t even think he believed in that before he met Henry, but suddenly it seemed inevitable that they’d find each other.

    The breakup was devastating but amicable. Alex told himself that it was the short duration of their relationship — the fact that they were always so pressed for time and trying to make the most of it — that made it idyllic. It was a special time and he’d always cherish it, but surely there were others out there in this world of 8 billion people that could make him feel the way Henry did. Alex was determined to mend his broken heart and then set out to find them.

    Inspired by "The Death of Peace of Mind" by Bad Omens, which was stuck in my head for about two weeks straight. I couldn't stop imagining an angsty exes-to-lovers fic featuring our beloved boys. And, several months of feverish writing sessions and obsessive editing later, here we are.

    Fully written, updating twice weekly!

    Summary

    Holy fucking eyelashes.

    He’s all tan skin and bright eyes and charming smile— everything that makes Henry weak in the knees. Pretty brown eyes dart between the lineup and his clipboard, trying to put two and two together, but all Henry can focus on are those arms. Those hands. That arse.

    “Can I call you up, handsome?”

    Henry almost blacks out.

    or, the five times alex and henry shoot a video together as (not so) strangers, and the one time they do as a couple.

    Summary

    Henry watches Alex, the man he adores and loves so ardently, and the moment is palpable, delicate, and yet too large for even the sky to contain.

    He watches Alex, and in that moment, he wants to be his husband, the ache and urge of it almost unbearable.

    “Daddy!” Nena takes Henry’s hands, and he looks down at her, the angel who had saved him, and he smiles at her, quiet with emotion, letting her lead him into place.

    He would follow her, follow Alex, anywhere.

     

    (Henry, Alex, and their daughter, and the first years of coming home, forever.)

    Summary

    Henry Fox is only attending this American football game as a PR stunt. That's all it is. He's definitely not fatally attracted to the brash quarterback Alex Claremont-Diaz who had the audacity to publicly call him out for not taking his number at a concert... that would be absolutely idiotic of him.
