Summary

“Hello,” Pretty Guy says, and oh god no that’s worse. He’s hot, blond, and British. His crystal blue eyes are sparkling and the corner of his mouth is quirked up like he’s just heard something mildly amusing.

Alex feels his face getting a little hot, because oh fuck what if he knows. He mentally shakes himself out of that ridiculous thought spiral before it even starts, and manages a very calm “hey, nice to meet you!” He even extends his hand out for a handshake like a normal person. “I’m Alex.”

“Henry,” Pretty Guy responds, “pleasure.”

And, yeah. Yeah it will be.

Summary

“You alright, Ritz?”

“Yeah, it’s just a little weird seeing Henry somewhere that’s not the library.”

He’s about to make a quip when he looks in the same direction she pointed out, and every word he’s ever been capable of thinking dies on his tongue. Holy shit. “That’s Henry?”

Because, no. No way. Nobody has any right to look as good as that Greek statue of a man does in a fucking cardigan. Alex makes a sound that’s halfway between a squeak and like he just choked on his own spit.

“Ask that a little louder, Nino, the people in Australia didn’t hear you.” Ritz mutters, either amused by his suffering or just not impressed by it. “Yes, that’s Henry. Can I go say hi or are you gonna be weird about it?”

Or: a hyperlexic teenager, her godfather, and a librarian walk into a bookstore.

Summary

“What part,” he croaks, “of ‘not happening’ do you not fuckin’ understand?” He doesn’t look at Henry’s face. He can’t if he wants to make it out of this with his fragile resolve intact. “Or does that only mean something when it’s cryptic notes and a door slammed in your face?”
He hears a sigh, and it pisses him off that he doesn’t even have to look at Henry to know the look on his face. There’s a lot that pisses him off, recently. “I understand perfectly,” Henry says, “only… I was hoping we could talk.”

Summary

Henry didn’t do a lot of sports events. He much preferred being on the streets, responding to emergencies as they came in. But truthfully, spending a few hours watching baseball and only possibly being needed wasn’t a bad way to spend a shift. Besides, there was something to be said for watching men in alarmingly tight pants.
“Hey, quit staring at their asses and come with me to the concession stand,” his partner teased as she nudged him, and he huffed, though he kept his eyes on the game.
“At least one of us has to stay here, Tammy,” he pointed out. “How would it look if there was a medical emergency and both of the paramedics on call were off buying hot dogs and nachos?”
“Oh please, what’s gonna happen? The bat breaks and the batter gets a splinter?” she scoffed.
It happened so fast that Henry nearly missed it. One moment the man up to bat, a man so beautiful he took Henry’s breath away, was standing upright, the next he was on his back at the plate, starfished out and quite obviously unconscious.
“You just had to say something,” Henry muttered darkly as he grabbed a pair of gloves and began to jog over, hearing Tammy grumble a curse as she followed him.

Summary

Now that everything's been finalized – the divorce, the custody agreement, the… child support payments – he's staring at a reality where he's seeing less and less of his public defender's salary than he realized he would.
And the house is uncomfortably quiet and empty.
It makes him ache, just a bit, when he finally sits with it.

Summary

Black and red streaks of magic fly over the streets of New York, too fast for any living creature to see. It may seem they’re just wandering aimlessly, but they have its target, swirling and turning as they race towards it. It’s a breathtaking spectacle, but all they carry is pain.
Eventually the magic turns for the last time, heading for a beautiful brownstone, the entire neighborhood completely unaware of the magic waves bursting inside, bypassing the powerful wards the owner of the brownstone has put around his home.
(Or the one where Alex accidentally curses Henry to lose the thing he loves the most, and things go horribly wrong.)

Summary

There’s a beat of silence. Henry feels Alex shift and warm fingers wrap around his wrists. “Us?” Alex asks, a laugh hidden under his dulcet tone. “You’re upset we can’t get pregnant?”

“Not we,” Henry says petulantly, kicking his legs like a small toddler having a tantrum. “Me.”

“You?” Alex asks. There’s definitely a laugh in his voice now. Henry rips his forearms off his eyes and glares, watery eyed at his husband.

“This,” he says, his voice thick with emotion, “Is no laughing matter, Alex.”

---

or - Henry gets drunk at June's baby shower and wishes Alex could put babies in him. Alex, ever the loverboy, tries his best to defy biology.

Summary

It’s not until Get Low is halfway over that he realizes he’s been dancing with this person for four or five songs now. This man. Alex gets flashes of his blonde hair in the strobe lights, his pale skin shining blue. His hands are on his soft hips, the man’s hands bent behind to play with Alex’s hair. Alex is resisting an urge to mouth at the flawless expanse of his neck.

So. Uh. Hm.
