Summary
What Nick wants is for Charlie to ring him up asking to meet someplace where they can apologize to each other and kiss and make up and know each other again. If Charlie could just know what the past year has been like for Nick—could know him and accept him in spite of all of Nick’s absolute bullshit, not just the way things ended but how everything crumbled apart after—
But that’s never going to happen. And if Nick can’t have it on his terms, well, it would be safer not to have it at all.
But he’s getting ahead of himself here. Let’s back up.
You’ve seen this story before: the boys stay broken up at the end of the Nick and Charlie novella, then meet again after some time apart. But here’s the twist: during the year in between, Nick’s whole life falls apart, and he’s diagnosed with bipolar disorder. When he finally comes face-to-face with the person whose loss triggered Nick’s breakdown—well, you’ll see.

Summary
Charlie lingers in the locker room long after all the other boys have left, almost as if he doesn’t want any of them to see where he’s going, and that more than anything convinces Nick that he’s got to do something to find out what’s wrong. So when Nick leaves the locker room, he turns a corner and then hovers there, waiting to see which direction Charlie goes.
He’s not sure what he’s expecting—maybe that Charlie’s sneaking off to see Ben again? But Charlie doesn’t meet up with Ben. He doesn’t meet up with anyone. Instead, he ducks into a broom cupboard and emerges five minutes later in pajamas with a rucksack slung over his shoulders and what looks like a sleeping bag tucked under his arm.
Nick comes out from around the corner. “Charlie? What are you doing?”
xx
A closeted Charlie comes out to his parents after Ben assaults him. When his mum kicks him out of the house, Nick and Sarah take him in instead.

Summary
That day at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, Alex comes across the very same Prince Henry who just dismissed him having a panic attack in a bathroom. The choice Alex makes then has ripple effects neither of them could have ever expected. What's the story like, when they actually are friends all along?
“So, you’re going back to England tonight, and you’ll spend the next three days pretending you two are the closest and best of friends until we can put this mess behind us.”
And there are reasons he hasn’t told anybody this, good reasons, even though he’s sure June and Nora saw through him ages ago. Faced with his mom’s disappointment, though, and with the realization that the entire world apparently thinks he hates Henry and would willingly shove him into a fucking cake, he can’t stay quiet.
“But we are friends,” he says, vehement and serious. “We have been for years. He’s—he’s probably my best friend, actually, along with Nora.”

Summary
Excerpts from the private poetry journal of Henry Fox, Prince of Wales.
It’s ten minutes to.
I can hear the wooden floorboards creak
And part of me hopes, surely in vain,
That you’re pacing behind that door
For the same reason.
I’ll knock soon, but…
I love you. I thought you should know.Bookmarked by BroadwayBug

The Best Bar in the World by pridepages

Summary
If someone had asked Alex to picture a gay bar, he probably would have imagined flashing rainbow lights, pounding club music, and a sticky dive floor coated in spilled beer and vodka. The last thing he would have thought of was this...
As Alex drank in the sight, his companion drew back heavy curtains, allowing sunlight to pour in from the quiet courtyard outside. The man turned back with a smile at the look of awe on Alex's face. "Welcome to Wilde's...I'm Henry, and it's a pleasure to meet you at last."
-
The same day Alex Claremont-Diaz is dumped by his boyfriend, he discovers Wilde's: the best bar in the world.
The one in which Henry Fox owns a bar and falls for one of his regulars.
This is not a romance. It's a love story.

Summary
"Hello, Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's office. How may I help you?"
"Hello, can I speak to Mr. Fox-Mount-krishen, please?"
Alex blinked. After two weeks of hearing nothing but the voices of snooty men and frazzled secretaries calling in, the person on the other line now sounded decidedly neither snooty nor male nor in any way adult.
It was a little girl.
"Mr. Fox-Mountchristen's unfortunately in a meeting right now,” Alex began slowly, “but I could take a message?"
"Oh." The girl paused. "You're not Mr. Hunter."
Alex starts a new job as Henry's new assistant. Henry's daughter keeps calling the office and leaving him messages.

Summary
The door closes behind her with a soft thunk, and then it’s the two of them, alone.
They sit for a while in silence. Henry traces the flowers and lines in the cornices of the ceiling while a Joni Mitchell record plays quietly in the background and Catherine sips on a glass of wine. He sits up, pours himself another glass of whiskey from the decanter.
‘Alex seems like a nice boy,’ Catherine says.

After the emails, Henry and Catherine have a much-needed conversation.Bookmarked by BroadwayBug

Alex Claremont-Diaz has it all. His mom won the election, he’s got the perfect boyfriend. He gets to love Henry out loud. Everything is great. Perfect.
Except for the itch under his skin every time he goes outside, and the tightness in his chest when he goes online, and the fact that he can’t fucking sleep.
But it's fine. He's fine. Really.

Summary
Kel sat and thought about it all through the long summer-- thought about joining the Riders when she turned sixteen, or going back to the Yamani Isles with her parents, or running away to become an unlawful bandit hunter. She drank tea with her mother and accepted her quiet sympathy. She wondered what was going to happen to Peachblossom. She did her morning glaive practice dances in the heady air of the tiny courtyard garden of her parents' townhouse, where the cook grew herbs and spices in big overflowing boxes.
Summer rolled on. She sat, and she thought, and she did not tell her thoughts to anyone. On the first day of what would have been her second year of page training, she woke before the sun and had a quiet breakfast with her father, and then she jogged up the big dusty hill to the palace.
When the pages trailed out to the practice yards with dubious enthusiasm, she was waiting just outside their ground. Her chin was high, her shoulders loose while her hands gripped her weighted staff.
"Probationer," Wyldon barked out her, when one of the boys went to fetch him. "Was I unclear in the spring?"
Kel stared him down, fingers white on her staff, and said, "I'm not a probationer anymore."
