Summary
It’s over. It’s really over, and Henry doesn’t even think he’s worth a break-up text. Yet here Alex is sobbing on his bedroom floor, his face buried in a silk kimono with HOE DAMERON embroidered across the back.
What was it his dad had said to him in Texas, right before everything went to shit?
Sometimes you just jump and hope it’s not a cliff.
Well. Alex had jumped. He’d thrown himself head-first over the precipice, and discovered that it was, in fact, a cliff. A fucking big cliff, with big fucking rocks at the bottom.
---
Alex never finds Henry's note; he never goes to Kensington. Mutual heartbreak and pining ensues.Another 'what-if they-never-got back-together-after-Texas- fic.

Summary
"God, Alex, I don't know how you get through life being so-"
"...So?"
But Henry isn't responding, his train of thought cut off entirely at the sight of the cursive scrawl on Alex's now exposed chest, shirt entirely unbuttoned. The font is in perfect cursive, looping around the letters as his eyes hone in on two words in startling clarity, black ink against tanned skin.
Bloody child.
"Prick." Henry says, nothing more than a breath, and watches as the font curls and changes to reflect the word.
"Ex-fucking-scuse me?"
Panicked at the thought of Alex being stood directly in front of a mirror, he whispers underneath his breath the first word that comes to mind, “Gorgeous.”
“Are you having a stroke?”
In a world where the last thing your soulmate says about you appears on your skin, Henry has always wanted to see the black script curl across his chest. Unfortunately for him, his soulmate turns out to be the infuriating wedding planner determined to work alongside him, who has absolutely zero interest in finding his own soulmate.
Life is what you cake it, he supposes.

Operation: Claremont Diaz Collapse by CrownedInLove

Summary
Henry and Alex have been best friends since high school and maybe something more. (If either of them would actually do anything about it.) Enter Pez, who's had enough of watching his best mate pine.
Armed with charm, chaos, and a foolproof plan he's dubbed Operation: Claremont-Diaz Collapse, Pez is determined to get Henry into Alex's bed. Four steps. Zero shame. What could possibly go wrong?
"He doesn't flirt like that with anyone else," Pez went on. "He doesn't call me baby. He doesn't kiss my hair. He's not testing the water anymore-he's waist-deep, waiting for you to jump."
Henry's hands curled into fists against his knees.
"I don't know how."Pez didn't flinch. He smiled-slow and sharp, a cat with a canary. "Oh, sweet Hazza. Then buckle up.

Summary
“I shouldn't have any fucking complaints, okay? I know that. But I just…” Alex sniffs, and Henry wonders in horror if he's on the verge of tears. “I wish people wanted me for… more.”
“More,” Nora repeats, sounding infinitely less antagonistic all of a sudden. “What do you mean?”
“Not just for my body, or sex,” Alex clarifies, and there is the distinct sound of a chair creaking before he continues. “Is it too much to ask for someone to want all of me? For… For Henry to want all of me?”
Oh, but Henry does.
He would do anything that Alex asked, give Alex everything he has, and take whatever Alex offered without question.
Part of Henry wants to burst through the barrier separating them, drop to his knees in front of Alex and offer up his bruised and scarred heart. The organ hasn't belonged to Henry since the moment he laid eyes on Alexander Claremont-Diaz, and Henry would give Alex all of the more he could ever want, if given permission.
Alex should know that.
It's Henry's fault that he doesn't.
