    Summary

    When Henry loses his father at eighteen, he loses a part of himself along the way. Without the support of a loving and caring family and his father's unyielding love keeping him shielded from the pressures of a life he never chose; he falls headfirst into dangerous habits. He seeks refuge in places that aren’t any good for him.

    They call him 'The Powder Princess,' but Alex Claremont-Diaz is the most dangerous drug of all.

    Or, a retelling of 'Red, White, and Royal Blue' if Henry was The Powder Princess.

    Summary

    He can’t stop thinking about the fucking ankle. About what it represents. The sensuality of the muscles and tendons underneath the flesh, begging for the press of his fingerprints, the indention of his teeth, those same ankles crossed and pressed into Alex’s lower back, the sweet symphony of two bodies finding solace and pleasure in one another even if only until morning light breaks through the curtains.

    He wants to get fucked, basically.

    Summary

    “Oh, sweetheart,” Henry breathes, sitting beside him in the lounge chair, quickly grasping Alex’s hand in his own.

    Immediately, Alex knows what Henry is going to say. “No, I know,” he says quickly.

    Henry shakes his head at him. “No, I don't think you do,” he says in a hoarse voice. Alex looks closely at his husband and observes the dark circles under his eyes. It doesn’t look like he slept at all, and a pit forms in his stomach at the thought.

    “And even if you do,” Henry continues. “I need to say it. We are going to fight this,” he says firmly. “And we are going to go wherever we have to go, see whoever we have to see, and we are going to win. Because I'm not going to let anything happen to you.”

    Summary

    “Talk to him. They listen, they always listen,” Ligia says and Henry nods, she squeezes his hand again before turning back and leaving him alone in front of the ofrenda.

    It's very rare that Henry has been at a loss for words when he tries to talk to his father. He has spent countless nights speaking to the stars, looking for Orion and hoping that —wherever his father is— he is looking for it too.

    “Hi dad,” Henry says softly, taking another look at the picture of his father, smiling at the camera. “I missed you.”

    or When Alex and Henry go to Mexico for Día de Muertos a familiar face appears on the Díaz ofrenda
