A Cloud on Fire Makes its Own Rain by foux_dogue

Summary
Henry ends his relationship with Alex in Texas at twenty-one years old.
At forty, Alex's heartbreak is just another relic from the past that he left behind. He's made a name for himself, steadily dismantling the system that never truly welcomed him from the foxhole of a critically-acclaimed late night news show. He's not living his happily-ever-after, maybe, but he's doing work that matters, and he's content with what he's got.
At forty-one, Henry finally decides to abdicate. There's only one person who he trusts to break the story.

Summary
He glances down to the word ‘LOVE’ at the bottom. It’s too loud, too harshly written. Alex doesn’t feel harsh or loud. He feels a lot, so much it’s overwhelming sometimes, but the edges are soft, not hard. There’s a glow around it, something hazy and barely tinted gold, and Alex feels like if he could reach out and put his hands near it, they would warm up like they used to when he stood in front of the old brick fireplace back home.
He glances at ‘LOVE’ and then loops back around to ‘HENRY’.
Maybe, Alex thinks, hands shaking, they’re one in the same. Whatever the fuck that means.
--
When June gets sick, Alex knows he'll do whatever it takes to make sure she gets the care that she needs. Even if that means convincing his nemesis/sexuality-crisis-inducing/clandestine hook-up partner/somewhat of an actual friend to pretend to be his soulmate in order to pull it off. It's both more and less complicated than it sounds.

Summary
"—Do you ever think about it? If I hadn't come to the wedding, or been such a dick—or if my mom wasn't president. All of this might've never happened. Our lives could be completely different, H. Like, if a few people in Texas voted differently 20 years ago, we would've never met."
"Maybe it might have gone a little differently," Henry hums back to his husband. "But I'd like to think you'd still have found me, darling."
6 (+1) moments across time where Alex Claremont-Diaz and Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor, despite the varying circumstances, found each other and fell in love.

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is well aware that he’s an absolute catch. He’s intelligent and quick witted, has an ass that absolutely refuses to quit and was once voted ‘most attractive law student’ in a slightly irresponsible and probably unethical NYU student magazine poll.
Which is why he finds it super fucking weird that his new roommate, Henry, thinks his caffeine consumption habits are a bit off-putting. So what if he has some unconventional drink choices? It’s not like Alex can’t vehemently defend all of them.
OR
5 times Henry has something to say about Alex’s coffee choices and 1 time he says nothing at all.

Summary
There’s a man in Henry’s bedroom. That, itself, isn’t noteworthy. He’s become rather proficient at smuggling men in and out of his room at Kensington Palace and his first-year flat at Oxford.
It’s not even especially noteworthy that the man is quite arresting. For better or worse, Henry’s title and reputation tend to help him pull gorgeous men with somewhat astonishing frequency. This man is, of course, particularly gorgeous. He’s tall, with olive skin, dark hair, and a bone structure that would send the old masters into a frenzy of pigments, linseed oil, and canvas.
But, perhaps, the most noteworthy thing is that the man in Henry’s bedroom is quickly and awkwardly wiping his eyes with the backs of his hands. That he seems just as surprised to see Henry as Henry is to see him.
Or, the handwavey, time-travelly, astral-projectiony, canon-smooshy AU nobody asked for, but we're giving it to you anyway.

Summary
When El had asked him, Quentin had hesitated, because even at the tender age of fourteen, he’d been well aware of the way his heart and body reacted to Eliot’s very presence. He’d wondered, painfully often, what it would be like to place his hands along the expanse of Eliot’s ribs, how it would feel to press their lips together. And doing what they had done, binding themselves together forever more… it meant he’d never get to find out.
(First, Eliot and Quentin end up together for the rest of their lives. Then, those lives get a lot more complicated.)- Language:

Summary
Henry stumbles upon Nora's lycan-only medical clinic when he's at the end of his rope, reeling from a rejection and ironically closer to death than he's been in all of his years already being undead.
Alex knows what it feels like to be alone. He's almost mastered it, even, after his own brutal rejection years ago. So he absolutely should not, under any circumstances, risk his own life attempting to save a stranger with a plan that may or may not even work.
He decides to try it out anyway.

Summary
Alex meets his soulmate at a party and immediately decides that his soulmate can never, ever know. Easy enough when the man flies back to England a few weeks after. But when Henry walks back into Alex's life several years later, and becomes a permanent fixture in it, it throws something of a wrench in his plans. It's awfully hard to never speak to the man who June and Nora have so quickly adopted into the fold.
But it's all for the best.
It's for the best.

Summary
Henry Fox is not Alexander Claremont-Diaz’s soulmate.
Alex knows it, in the shape of their souls. The shades of blue that emanate from his heart, the tentacles wrapped around his throat, climbing up his hair, marring his face. Sees it in the way the smooth curves clash with the electric lines of Alex’s soul, the way the blue strands cower from his bursting color when they approach each other.
Or, 5 times Alex worries he and Henry don't belong together and 1 time Henry reassures him.

Summary
"He still thinks of Henry. Every single day. [...] It is what it is, though. Life goes on, time waits for no man, all those bullshit clichés that make so much more sense the more trips around the sun you take.
So he plays the hand he's been dealt. [...] And he lives, day after day. He has a job and rents a studio, goes to the gym and jogs in the park, does laundry and goes grocery shopping. And every once in a while he thinks he sees Henry in the crowd and his heart literally skips a beat."
---
OR: Alex is immortal and the last time he saw Henry was one hundred and fifty-eight years ago; and then they run into each other in a Trader Joe's.

Summary
Alex has never heard about anyone’s vision being sexual. It’s always just mundane domestic shit, but the increasingly loud and frantic sounds coming from the bed are saying otherwise. The soft noises his soulmate’s making are going straight to his dick, a visceral need that he’s never felt for anyone before burning through his body. The ache that’s forming in his pants finally pushes past his embarrassment at essentially being cucked by himself (does this even count as being cucked?).
Soulmate AU where you can be blessed with a future vision of yourself and your soulmate. Alex's vision turns out to be... a little out of the ordinary.

Summary
Henry was 26 years old and tired of being sat down by his grandmother and informed that his time was running out; that if he wasn’t going to choose a suitable young lady to begin courting, the decision was going to be made for him.
Alex was a year out of law school, working at a firm in New York and avoiding any and all questions about a potential future in politics while dodging his family's constant attempts to set him up on blind dates.
When Pez suggests that they show up at his foundations fundraising gala as each other's dates, they both realize that despite their rocky history together, they have more reasons to say yes than to say no.

Summary
“Come on, angel,” he takes a step forward, staring up at Henry with a smirk. He knows that if they had any need for oxygen, Henry’s chest would be heaving. “You know you want to.”
“Wanting it isn’t the question,” Henry says tightly, only the slightest sliver of blue still visible in his eyes. “We can’t.”
Alex knows he has him, knows that it’s only moments until he finally gets what he wants. What he’s always fucking wanted. He just needs to push.
“Oh but we can,” Alex’s tongue darts out to wet his lips and he watches in glee as Henry’s eyes drop to capture the motion. “You want me. Come get me.”
Alex has hated Henry for a lifetime - but he's wanted to fuck him for twice as long.

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is sixteen years old, and he hasn’t presented. His dad seems to think it’s fine and offers Alex regular reassurance that his cousin Angel hadn’t presented until nearly 20. His mom, though, gets a little crease between her eyebrows whenever she thinks Alex isn’t looking. Presenting is a Big Deal in the Claremont family, and Alex just... hasn’t.
So Alex is sixteen, and he’s… a boy. That’s it. Just a boy. Not a boy and an alpha like his friend Marco, or a boy and an omega like his friend Noah. Just a boy.

Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.
