    Summary

    This one is for people who love Henry’s literary voice, his trembling uncertainty, and his tender, molten heart.

    I can’t tell you what kind of reading experience you’ll have, but here’s what some people have said:
    “I have loved reading (and rereading) this so, so much, I can't even say. This needs to be printed and bound as a companion to RWRB.”
    “Your Henry is so wonderfully three-dimensional, so lovable, and so REAL.”
    “Henry being made utterly useless by Alex’s mere existence.”
    “Henry you absolute sad sack (affectionate)!”

    “Intense insight.”
    “So exquisite… and thoroughly savage.”
    “Incredibly beautiful.”
    “Mesmerized and in pain.”

    “Getting a little kinky all up in here!” (DON’T LOOK AT ME.)
    “A doozy.”
    “!!!”
    “WHEN I TELL YOU I CACKLED”

    The entries start in August 2016, when Henry and Alex cross paths at the Rio Olympics, and end after Ellen Claremont's reelection.

    Summary

    “Henry, you remember my son, Alex Claremont-Diaz – my younger, slightly less-reliable child?”

    Here we go, Alex thinks, turning toward an all-too-familiar face – Henry Fox Mountchristen, the poster boy of a dutiful politician’s son. Blond hair, blue eyes, unwrinkled from shoulder to wingtips. A DC Ken doll. On the list of Alex’s least-favorite people. If he had such a list. Which he doesn’t.

    “Henry,” Alex says, holding out a hand to shake.

    “Alex,” Henry says. “Well done. As a younger, slightly less reliable child myself, I think you’ve executed your brief perfectly – ensuring your elder sibling appears to best advantage.” He nods at June, who smiles back.

    “Cute. Thanks,” Alex says. Jesus Christ. Why does he always want to murder this guy?

    Or:
    Five, plus one, plus one more, parallel universes in which Alex runs into Henry at a party.

    Summary

    Henry is forty-two and stuck in the same job he took at twenty-four. After a particularly ugly divorce, he’s also tremendously, depressingly single.

    Alex is forty-one, works 80 hours a week as partner in a law firm and hardly speaks to his son. He’s also happily, promiscuously single.

    They meet at a speed-dating event. Life happens.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I’ll be honest, I hated how Henry and Alex (and their friends) aren’t characterized like I know and love them.

    But …

    Chapter 1 was so well written that I kept reading and reading. And now I’m sure I want to reread, so I bookmarked this.

    —> okay, I only now knowvthat this is what this author does. But the fic is always captivating and I want to bookmark all the fics they write..

    Summary

    At six, soon to be seven, Henry knows what he’ll be when he grows up. At five, soon to be six, Alex knows what he won’t be.

    They’re both wrong.

    This is their story.
