    Summary

    “God, Alex, do you ever shut up?”

    The sentiment is followed by a round of laughter. Everyone chuckles, like they’re in on the joke.

    It shouldn’t hurt. But it does. It does. Every single time.

    Summary

    'Henry takes David out into the garden while Alex tidies up in the kitchen, putting away the dishes still on the drying rack from the morning. He’s not turned the main light on. He’s just carefully putting things away by the dim spotlight. He doesn’t need the light – it’s like muscle memory, so easy and natural he could do it blindfolded, and it’s all so domestic it makes Henry’s heart leap and turn in ways he didn’t know it could.'
    --
    or, shameless domestic fluff and smut for my darling stardisnight.

    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

    “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.)

    Summary

    “I’ve been thinking,” Henry says quietly, “almost constantly, about your list.”

    Alex blinks because, well, his list hasn’t had this kind of traction in years. The Google trend must be spiking off the charts.

    Henry bites at his own lower lip, turning the blush pink a tortured white, admits, “About the things you want to do—”

    Oh.

    That list.

    Or: Alex discovers that talking to Henry is just as nice as having sex with him, or at least, pretty close. A perfectly timed revelation when he finds himself in desperate need of a heart-to-heart.
