Summary
Alex knew it was going to be one of those days the moment he realized his third coffee of the day had absolutely zero effect on the turmoil of his thoughts. It was not even nearing ten in the morning when he had to face defeat, annoyed and broken down to a single thought: Henry was right. Not that he never was, far from it, but Alex had this kind of constant competitive streak with his boyfriend — and he hated admitting when Henry was right.
—
Or Alex is having a bit of a day, and Henry knows exactly how to help him out.

Summary
Alex had always believed himself to be a good person. He was a human rights lawyer, tried to be as good of a son as he could be, did not spend a day without texting his sister and made sure to always spare Nora some time when she needed fashion advice. Which was why, he later on argued with himself, he could not ignore the opportunity to help his (very nice, and very distressed) neighbour in the midst of a crisis.
Especially when said neighbour had a cute dog. It was all about the dog, really.—
In which Alex agrees to fake date his next-door neighbour for his brother’s wedding the following week. (What could go wrong, am I right?)

Summary
Alex Claremont Diaz had a problem.
The problem was tall, blonde, British, and no matter how many times he’d insisted - not 6'2. Said problem was Alex’s new flatmate (or rather, he was the problem’s new flatmate), and he liked Earl Grey and watching the Great British Bake-off when he felt down.
—
In which Alex Claremont-Diaz catches sight of his roommate naked, and goes through a small crisis.

Summary
Alex had always loved parties.
The Halloween party that was thrown in the frat house next door was no exception to Alex’s rule. Not even the strict rule of “fancy costumes and no recognizable faces” had thrown him off, and Alex had spent weeks perfecting his outfit and the accompanying mask. By the time Halloween crept around, Alex was buzzing out of his own skin.
—
Or the one where Alex needs to unwind after a hard semester, and the Halloween frat party next door might just do the trick.

Summary
It was almost Christmas, and as most of the songs insisted, the most wonderful time of the year. Alex had never been much of a Christmas person growing up. With two divorced parents who had unfortunately spent years fighting at the very table they were supposed to celebrate the holiday instead of divorcing like normal people who did not get along anymore, he’d lost the spirit before the age of 12.
But then came Henry.
Perfect, loveable, cherishable Henry. The man who barged into Alex’s life and turned it all around on the spot.—
In which Alex decides to propose a few days before Christmas.

Summary
As a librarian, Henry Fox could not say he had to deal with babies often.
At 28 years old, Henry knew what he liked and what he certainly never wanted in his house. He was not picky, thank you very much, he simply had standards. And what if he had no one to curl around at night, no one to hold hands with at the movies and no one he could cry to when he had one of his bad days? He was fine.
So no, Henry Fox could not say he thought about babies very much, up until that cold Monday evening in January when he was quite literally faced with a quite... peculiar client.
—
In which Henry stumbles upon his destiny on a cold rainy night, and his life plans are thrown out of the window.

The first few times are an accident —no matter how many times Pez insists that it’s not.

Proven by the fire brigade bursting down his door every now and then.
—
In which Henry is trying to learn how to cook, and every terrible attempt amuses the sexy firefighter who saves him from burning down the entire building very much.

The call comes at 3am.
It takes Arthur about thirty seconds to realise his phone is even ringing—there on the nightstand, vibrating against the wood and plunging the otherwise dark room in a glow of synthetic light.

Summary
Living at sea has never been Alex’s idea of a good time.
But then again, coming home to an absent father and a work-driven mother when he was barely pushing 14 had changed every single thing he’d ever believed until then, and it’s no surprise to see that his life has escaped him a little in the last few years–to say the least.
Growing up, Alex had always wanted to do big things. Being a castaway on a desert island was never one of them.

Summary
Out of all the things he’s learned in church, Alex has always believed Hell to be the most striking.
As a child, he’d read about it in the Bible. He’d learned about sin, and taught himself to be a better person in fear of Hell and its hordes of demons. Sitting here there and now, Alex is reminded of those times he lay awake at night thinking of the devil.—
In which Alex is stuck in a time loop, watching the love of his life get married to someone else.

Summary
The problem, Henry reasons for the hundredth time this week, might not be where it first appeared.
Sure, he’s pretty sure he’s head over heels in love with his co-worker. And that’s fine, it really is. He’s also pretty sure Alex returns the feeling—or at least a resemblance of it, if the way he blushes all the way down to his collarbone when they interact is to be trusted.
No, Henry’s problem resides in the fact that his crush might be Superman.

The superhero AU no one asked for.
