    Summary

    Prince Henry represents everything Alex Claremont-Diaz hates about the wealthy and privileged. While every news outlet in the country is obsessively reporting on Henry’s abdication and subsequent move to the U.S. to attend a PhD program, Alex just wishes he could have a single day when he’s not reminded of the guy's stupid face. Except he won’t stop coming into the coffee shop where Alex works.

    Still reeling from the public and private backlash on his decision to leave England, all Henry wants is to keep his head down and get through the semester. But when Alex comes barreling headfirst into his life—bright, brash, an embodiment of all the things he cannot have—Henry finds himself entirely unable to keep away.

    Summary

    "Lord Henry has sent a letter asking you to be his betrothed!"

    Alex blinks, then lets out a snort—purposefully ungentlemanlike to draw exasperation from both his mother and sister. "How unfortunate for him. Did he gamble away his dignity?"

    "Alexander!"

    Alex spends the week leading up to his marriage ceremony avoiding his betrothed, for his mind cannot comprehend any reason why Lord Henry, the man who scorned him at his debut, wants to marry him now that his reputation is ruined.

    Summary

    "Yeah, but it's the monarchy," Alex said, studying his cuticles carefully, rather than look his mom in the eye. "I hate everything they stand for."

    "Are you sure it's the monarchy you hate?" Ellen asked. "Or just one member of it in particular?"

    Alex sighed. "Look, it's still, what, a couple of months away? That's plenty of time to find someone else to go."

    "Alex, for the last time--"

    The door to the Oval burst open. Alex whipped his head up to see Prince Henry rush into the room, Zahara and Henry's equerry close behind. "Madam President," Henry said, "my name is Henry George Edward James Fox, and I wish to to formally request asylum."

    Summary

    She sends him a link to a Tweet from @espnf1: “Henry Fox, the current runner-up in the driver standings and the son of racing legend Arthur Fox, to leave Windsor. Next year, he will be driving for Ferrari.”

    Alex doesn’t even have the time to process before he’s clicking on the link, going directly to Twitter to find out what the fuck is going on.

    Ferrari’s decided to replace Alex's retiring teammate with Henry Fox. Alex’s fucking nemesis.

    Or, the RWRB F1 AU.
