WIP Wednesday

Une évidence... by laitue (book-verse)

@taylor-27: I've been following this wip for a while now andd i love it. Its definetely a canon divergence, there's some interesting yet true to character edits made my the author. Basically it's Alex and Henry's classic love story except what if Alex figured out he was bisexual before their story began. It sounds simple but it's a binge read! I love how the author has portrayed the characters, built on the dynamics of the super six especially Bea, Pez, Henry and Alex. In the end its just two idiots being in love, struggling to communicate and pining for each other more than victorian era damsels. Hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I am!

Dancing with our hands tied.. by abc_efghij_lmnopqr_tuvwxyz (book-verse)

@taylor-27: Okay so, it's a president x vice president au where alex is the president at 40 and henry is his younger vice president, they've been working together for more than 5 years and have a friends (who are they kidding) with benefits situation. It's got plot outside of just romance, and is honestly gripping. I've been on the edge of my seat and I can tell that if (when) the angsty climax hits I'm gonna cry. There's both of them being so in love they could die, but would rather jump into an ocean than communicate that. Apart from all of the politics, safety threats and romance there's the most silliest banter and conversations we get to witness. Exhibit A- there's one point where Henry sends out an entire CIA team and declares a national emergency.. to rescue puppies. Shaan deserves a medal for dealing with them. Hope I've convinced you all to read this! I can't wait for it to be completed

ive been trying to find this fic for weeks but unfortunately i do not remember the tags or the title or the author, which honestly is a really uncommon occurrence for me 😭

i think alex is a law student and henry is like hella rich and they meet via pez i think? and henry offers to let alex stay at his place and they start of as acquaintances and alex is awkward about imposing himself on henry but then he gets really comfortable there and stays there to study even when henry isnt there and henry orders him food etc and they eventually fall in love. i think there might be a d/s dynamic as well but im not really sure on that part

Hi! Sounds like this fic possibly?

@na-dineee: Remember when this fic was being posted as a WIP and so many of us (myself very much included) nearly lost it?! The hurt, the angst, the years of longing—Henry and Alex so perfect for each other, yet always missing the mark. I read it for the second time now, and it was another wild ride. I shed quite a few tears (and got emotionally shredded into tiny pieces nbd), and in my humble opinion, this is a true fandom masterpiece!

Hush by @emeryhall (book-verse)

@na-dineee: This fic can be summed up in one word: BAM !! Alex and Henry know each other casually from class, but then they meet at a college New Year’s party and their midnight kiss turns deliciously smutty. From there, everything just falls perfectly into place—in a fast-paced, clever, heartfelt, and wonderfully smutty way. An absolute joy to read. 10/10, no notes, would totally recommend!

EDIT: Not all librarians wear capes was mistakenly linked for the comment for If at first you don't succeed! Below is the correct links with the correct comments - it's been fixed in the main post as well. Sorry for any confusion!!

Not all librarians wear capes by mangyycur (book-verse)

@suseagull5914: Magic and Henry's passion for reading collide in this fic that will have you hooked, guessing what's going on from start to finish! It's so suspenseful, and the author clearly put so much thought into the world-building aspect of it because it shows. A must-read for book and magic lovers alike!
@suseagull5914: I absolutely love one of the tropes in this fic! Alex and Henry go on a blind date that doesn't go well, and later end up on the same ski trip. Among other things I'm not going to spoil, I absolutely love how Nora is such a mastermind in this fic!

WIP Wednesday

only fools rush in by @thewindowatkirkland (book-verse) [This was a WIP at the time of the submission but this fic is now complete!]

@dot524: The premise of this is that Henry and Alex met on Grindr. Sounds a little cheesy but this turned out to be an angsty, thoughtful, well-written story that keeps you guessing. I enjoyed seeing the transformations of both Alex and Henry as they learn more about themselves. A fun one - check it out!
@suseagull5914: How do you go on when growing up means moving across the country from your best friend? That's the question Alex and Henry have to answer in this fic that I can already tell is going to be really sweet, just like all of this author's fics! The emotions in this fic are described so well- the nostalgia is so real in this fic already!

@suseagull5914: Another unique, fun fic! Heist AU meets just a hint of Christmas feels, and combined with the fact that it jumps around in time, this author constantly keeps you on your toes, wondering what will happen next. A must read!
@dot524: Alex is a flight attendant, and he’s good at what he does. But for some reason, this tall blond guy annoys the heck out of him. What will happen when they are both stranded in a snowstorm over the holiday and stuck sharing a hotel room? I’ll give you three guesses. This one had great banter and a dab of angst, and it was such a fun read!
@na-dineee: Not going to lie, this was a challenging read, which lingers long after! Henry and Alex are in an established relationship, so certain of their future together. Then they stumble over the question of having kids... What follows is messy and ugly, touching and relatable, almost destructive, but resovled in a very sensitive way. This hurt phenomenally good!

Hi, thanks for all your work! I am looking for a fic where soulmates meet in their dreams while sleeping but Alex can't see Henry's face so he doesn't know it's him. Could you maybe help with that? I've been looking forever to find it again

Hi Anon, I think I know which fic you're looking for - we've answered an ask about it a while ago, please see our previous answer here ❤️ but in summary, it's not publicly available anymore 🥲

WIP Wednesday

A bit late but happy new year 🎊 starting the year off strong with 10 WIP recs - enjoy!! ❤️

@dot524: This is an extraordinarily sad and poignant story about the tragedy of a failed relationship and the efforts to bring it back together. Alex and Henry used to be together, but they grew apart. As part of their breakup, Henry underwent a procedure that caused him to forget Alex, and Alex decides to do the same thing. What will they do when they realize that it was a mistake? This is an Eternal Sunlight of the Spotless Mind AU, and I’m not familiar with that story, but the fic is engrossing and well-done. It’s also almost finished. Check it out!
@dot524: Alex and Henry are work rivals who are both working themselves to the bone. It turns out that they used to be together, but they broke up. Their assistants, Nora and Pez, have come up with a plan to get them together - mainly to make their own jobs tolerable. But Alex and Henry are working through a painful past, and things are not always as they seem. I was snorting reading the most recent chapter - this one is just fun, joyful, and hilarious. Plus there are some flashbacks to their relationship that make you feel all the feels. Can’t wait to see how the author gets these two together!

Break Out by @cricketnationrise (book/movie-verse)

@na-dineee: Ice hockey is the perfect setup for an MLM romance, right?! Novels like Time to Shine are a prime example, and there are already some amazing firstprince x ice hockey AUs out there. And now, cricketnationrise started one too – yay !! Humor, fluff, and eventual smut – ok, enough said, I’m in!

@dot524: Such a fun little punk band AU. There’s a meet-cute, some mild angst, and emotional music scenes with bonding. Plus, great cameos of June, Nora, and Alex’s family. I enjoyed the pacing, dialogue, and character development of this AU and its feel-good ending, and it was fun to see them as punk rockers!

Still Sitting in the Corner I Haunt by BrokenChair, mister_nic (book-verse)

@suseagull04: This fic is a high school AU and Groundhog Day combined! Henry is characterized so well in this fic, and each part of this 5+1 has both obvious and subtle differences that combine to make the perfect fic!

WIP Wednesday

@na-dineee: It's an firstprince Anastasia AU, and I barely know the original story (I know...). But the tags promise that it's mostly a love story with some eventual smut, and it’s MJ, so I’m looking forward to plenty of sweet highlights in the form of chapter updates in the coming weeks.
@na-dineee: Alex is not ok. He is burnt out, but he doesn’t realize it. Cake-gate happened years ago, but the PR-friendship with Prince Henry never really hit off. Years later, they meet again. Can Henry give Alex support and bring meaning to his life? Oh yes, most definitely... Sad, anxious, suffering Alex and Henry taking care of him—I am here for it.
@na-dineee: Two single dads in New York meet on Reddit... It follows a chat friendship turned into phone calls, a first meeting with their kids, building trust, having fears, and lots of pining—so much pining! What I absolutely loved—but didn’t expect anything less from Alex and Henry—is how respectful, empathetic, and considerate they are as dads. So fluffy!

make lemonade by @smc-27 (book-verse)

@dot524: This author consistently posts stellar works but I often finish wanting more of that world. This one is nice and long — yay! I loved this meet-cute where Alex’s daughter Claudia has a lemonade stand and Henry is one of their favorite customers. This was a bit of an exploration of divorced dad (single dad) Alex. His mixed feelings about coparenting and starting a new relationship were nicely developed. Such a great warm fuzzy fic, with a nice bit of angst and character development mixed in to make things interesting. And I loved the kid character, Claudia!
@suseagull04: This road trip AU is so fun, partly because of how soft our favorite boys are, but also just because of Alex's bright personality throughout the whole thing, and the faith and hope that's a critical part of the book!
@suseagull04: I had heard people talking about this green card marriage AU for months, and the hype was definitely warranted (as with all of this author's writing)! Little details from the book used in a new way, instant attraction, both of them being exactly what the other needs, exploration of other relationship dynamics within the book... this fic has so much depth in its 4 chapters, and it's fantastic!
