    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 studies himself in the mirror – an unrecognizable bespectacled redhead that will be going by James for the day. Pez has contoured his nose so the bridge appears completely different from the front, swept the shaggy wig across his brows in a style straight from the seventies, and dotted his face with new moles and freckles while masking his more recognizable spots. "Christ, this might actually work."

    -

    Fed up with the downsides of fame, Alex proposes disguises to explore New York City.

    Summary

    “Are you sure you’re going to be okay here?”

    Henry lowers his mug and watches as Alex overfills his thermos. He’s had two cups already, and the odds of him having more at the office are high.

    “Here?” Henry asks as he tosses Alex a dishcloth to mop up the coffee. “In our home?”

    “In this house…all the way out here…alone.”

    “I’m not a child, Alex,” Henry says, affronted. “I don’t require a babysitter.”

    “I know that,” Alex says, “I know that. It’s just…you grew up in a palace. You had people everywhere. Now you’re just…alone out here.”

    “I can assure you that when I was growing up, I was alone, plenty.”

    Alex groans. “Oh god, please don’t say that. That makes me so sad.”

     

    Or.

    5 times Henry works to make their house a home +1 time Alex realizes it's been home all along.

    Summary

    He wakes up to a weird noise and - once he realizes he’s not dreaming it - starts trying to figure out where it’s coming from.

    He takes a steadying breath and opens the closet door, and the scream he lets out is like, practically not human at all.

    He did not fucking expect there to be a man in his closet. A man who is also yelling. Who’s tall, and hot, and wearing what seems like a wool suit, some kind of medal around his neck, and a sash.

    OR, a time traveling Henry AU

    Summary

    “She truly is your daughter, Alex,” Henry sighs, defeated.

    “Fuck off, sweetheart,” he laughs, a soundbite of the sun. Henry forces himself not to physically react, the term of endearment sweet and menacingly familiar coming from Alex’s lips. It’s been years. “You know they’re useful.”

    “Ah yes, eyelashes, truly a formidable instrument in managing international relations.”

    Alex grins, and Henry is too late to catch the slightest downward lilt on the corner of his mouth, “Worked on you once, didn’t it?”

    Oh, did that ache.

     

    (Much had happened since the time Henry had told Alex to leave. Alex had passed the bar, gotten married, had the most beautiful daughter. And Henry, well. He stayed right where he was.)
