    Summary

    “We both know you’re not upset about him, though. Right?”

    Henry can see the recognition in Alex’s eyes and knows there won’t be any lying or pretending here—Alex already knows the truth.

    “Does my reputation precede me?” Henry asks, his voice coming out softer than he intended.

    “Sort of,” Alex whispers. “But I’m also very perceptive.”

    “Hm.”

    “Did you have to break his heart?” Alex asks, and there is something kind in his eyes now—almost understanding—which Henry finds preposterous.

    There’s no possibility that Alex understands who Henry is, why he has to do the things that he does.

    “It’s what I do, I suppose,” Henry tells him, wary of the cracks in the ice ahead of him as he takes another step. “Or haven’t you heard?”

    Alex hums, not put off by Henry’s dismissal. “Have you ever considered that it might be a gift to have a heart that’s been broken by you?”

    Summary

    “We’ve never discussed it,” Alex admits. “It’s never really … come up.”

    “But you want it to,” Nora repeats bluntly. “Why haven’t you said anything?”

    “It’s recent,” Alex defends. “Besides, what if Henry only wants to-” he waves his hand vaguely. “What if he’s not into that? Doesn’t want to … with me.”

    or: the one where Henry very much does want to and Alex bottoms for the first time

    Summary

    Little Alex blinks sleepily and nuzzles his tiny face into the crook of his shirt. “It’s okay,” Alex says to the boy in his arms. “I got you.”

    Henry’s words come back to him, a flood of comfort through time and space: “They always say, 'hold yourself together,' so finally, you do.”

    Or: Alex is 37, married to Henry, and facing big changes in his life. A spiral and a strange cup of coffee sends him back in time, where he meets versions of his younger self and gives him something he’s always needed but never knew how to ask for: a hug.
