Summary
It hasn’t been an easy day, Henry knows. It hasn’t been an easy week, either. He could argue that really, no day is ever easy for Alex when it comes to eating. There’s always a voice in his head, he’d explained once, that tries to dictate how much he needs and wants and should have – or, more often than not, how much he doesn’t need, how much he shouldn’t have.
“It never goes away completely,” Alex had once said, murmured confessions on Henry’s shoulder. “But some days are easier. Some days it’s not as loud.”
Today is not an easier day.
—
Sometimes Alex just needs a reminder that it's okay.

Summary
The first time Evangeline saw herself in a dress, one of Alice’s bras underneath stuffed to the brim with paper to fill out her chest, she cried. In eighteen years of living she had never looked in the mirror and been this happy with what looked back at her, and she didn’t know what to do other than to cry and throw herself into Alice’s arms. Alice held her close, running her fingers through her hair and kissing the top of her head, and Evangeline couldn’t imagine how this day could go better than this.
And then, the door opened.
“Hey, is Alice—” Alex, one of Evangeline’s dads, paused in the doorway. He took in the sight of his child and their best friend standing there, Evangeline in a dress, and Evangeline wished she could just vanish into thin air.
Or, Alex and Henry dad fics with a trans daughter :elmorise:

Summary
Henry lurks in the shadows haunting the edge of the ballroom, head pounding, nose burning, mouth aching. So much silver jewellery he can practically feel his skin combusting. So many people. Their heartbeats, a constant cacophony of torture to Henry's ears. He hisses as he runs his tongue over his canines, feeling his fangs trying to pierce the delicate skin.
He has to get out of here.
or RWRB - everything's the same, except Henry is a vampire :)

I've never felt safer (than when I'm with you) by viciouslyqueer for dearestalez

Summary
Alex takes the bag and opens it slowly, careful not to rip it, and gasps quietly as he sees what’s inside. “H, you didn’t…”
Strong arms wrap around his waist from behind, Henry’s chest warm against his back. “Do you like it?” Henry asks in a whisper, resting his chin on Alex’s shoulder.
Alex doesn’t know what to say. Gingerly, like he might ruin it with even the smallest touch, he takes out the silky fabric and holds it up in front of them. It’s a gorgeous dress, fancy too, in a deep red color with thin straps and an open back. It’s long, almost touching the floor even as Alex holds it up and has a slit on the left side that would probably end a little above Alex’s knee.

Summary
He trails off and Henry takes the opportunity to cup his cheek, gently swiping his thumb over the smooth skin. “Hey. We don’t have to do anything. We can stop right now if you want to, or cuddle for a while. I can put on a movie if you’d like. I don’t mind either way.”
Alex’s smile grows and he leans into the touch, pecking Henry’s lips again. “Thanks, baby,” he murmurs, and Henry has to fight the urge to react at the pet name. “But it’s not that. I want to keep going, if you want it, too. I just have to tell you something before, okay?”

Summary
It's been weeks since Henry and Alex have had a proper night together — one where they can take their time taking each other apart. Now, on the one-year anniversary of their move into the brownstone, Alex has plans for them involving new lingerie that will hopefully drive Henry wild.
Possibly better summarized by the line: “Hello, darling. Cooking naked again?”
Series
