I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don't even know.

I know, I KNOW, I'm late. But even though it’s not still Wednesday for so many people, it is for me :)

When he finds Henry, he discovers that he still remains in the arm chair, curled in on himself. He’s staring down at a book that Alex knows well he isn’t even reading, his eyes just staring at the pages, unmoving. 
“Hey,” Alex says, his voice soft. He swallows hard as Henry looks up, their gazes connecting. 
“Alex,” Henry says, blinking as if Alex being there is some sort of hallucination brought on by exhaustion. “What are you doing here?” 
“You need me. I promised you I would be here for you if you ever needed me.” 
“Alex, your work —” 
“It doesn’t matter,” Alex interjects. “None of it matters. You’re more important, H. I mean it.” 
Henry remains silent, but Alex has known him for too long, can almost see his thoughts building in his head. Alex moves towards him, gently nudging him to shift. When he does, Alex slots himself into the now empty spot next to Henry. Alex pulls Henry towards him until Henry is tucked into his side, his head on Alex’s chest and Alex’s arms wrapped firmly around him. It’s an awkward position, Alex is not sure where he ends, and Henry begins. But he couldn’t care. 
“Thank you,” Henry mutters into the material of Alex’s shirt. “For being here, for caring.” 
It’s the last thing that is said until a steady silence settles between them. Alex simply holds him until all his tears have dried, until slowly but surely the light begins to find its way back into Henry’s heart, and by some sort of miracle; until Henry’s breaths even out and his eyes flutter closed. 
It's because I love you, Alex wants to say but doesn't. Because, well, finding out Henry doesn't love him in the same way? It's the greatest heartbreak Alex could ever experience.

Epilogue New York, NY Four months later  FROM SCREEN TO THE PAGE TO THE BROADWAY STAGE, ALEX CLAREMONT-DIAZ PROVES HE HAS THE RANGE! Vulture excerpt The Crescent Valley star’s memoir, The ABC’s of ACD, debuted at number four on the New York Times bestsellers list. With an honest look at his start in Hollywood with the role that launched him into the public eye, Claremont-Diaz’s memoir has since been dubbed a must-read for fans of the hit show and beyond. Revered for its sheer candor and care as he opens up about his sexuality, Claremont-Diaz’s memoir has struck a chord with many in the LGBTQIA+ community. Claremont-Diaz received an overwhelming show of support online from fans, many of whom have shared personal testimony that the actor’s coming out inspired them to do the same with their loved ones. It’s an honor Claremont-Diaz doesn’t take lightly.
“From the outset when dreaming about putting my story out there, I always hoped to touch at least one person, as cheesy or cliche as that might sound.. To make that kind of connection, to show them that they aren’t alone, that what they’re feeling is not only valid, but that their truth is worth living? That’s everything. Every single comment online or message that I get from someone in a similar situation feels like armor each day. I carry that with me.”
Following a two-week tour for the book’s promotions, there are no signs of Claremont-Diaz slowing down. The actor is now gearing up to add another first on his resumé. 
As mentioned in his book and previous interviews, Claremont-Diaz once did stagework as a child in Austin. These days, however, he’s finding the scale just a tad bit bigger.
“Stage was one of my first loves. It feels right to be returning to it. I couldn’t have guessed it’d be in such a major way though. Broadway,” the actor said, a clear wonder in his voice. “It’s so surreal. I still can’t believe it’s happening. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to make sense of that.”
According to sources, the bright lights of the Great White Way aren't the only thing calling Claremont-Diaz to New York City.
When asked about sightings of him with boyfriend writer Henry Fox around the Big Apple as he prepares for opening night, Claremont-Diaz only offered his signature smirk and kept tight-lipped on any details of how the two met. Though the timeline is unclear of when they initially crossed paths, one thing is for certain: They appear to be in it for the long haul.
Claremont-Diaz has been an outspoken advocate for Fox’s debut novel which is set for release next spring.
With his focus now set on embarking on a new chapter in his career, Claremont-Diaz seems assured about the road ahead, even as he settles into a brand new city in order to complete his show run.
“New York is the place I need to be right now,” he replied simply. “Everything I love most in the world can be found right here. I couldn’t ask for anything more than this.”

I need you so much closer

Carlos Reyes was loved.
Yes, by TK, but not only by him.
— — —
Or, a 4x04 coda in which we get to hear from everyone else and fill in some missing scenes.
This was not supposed to be this long, but it’s done! All the love to @moviegeek03 and @justaswampdemon as always for helping from start to finish (and making sure it actually got finished). 
-------
Gabriel Reyes thought he knew fear. 
He had been a Texas Ranger for most of his life. He had been in law enforcement even longer than that. He had seen the worst of the worst; had stared down hardened criminals that would end his life just as soon as blink. 
He thought the peak of fear had been finding out that his son’s home had burned down while he was inside. The knowledge of exactly how close he had come to losing his only child had nearly been enough to topple him, and the fact that he had been at least partially responsible didn’t help. There was the day-to-day fear of his son’s job (because of course he had followed him into the same line of work), the occasional instances of bad things happening, and feeling that rush of fear. But this? Looking down at his son’s still body as his fiancé worked to keep his heart beating? Seeing his son lying there and knowing that the only thing keeping the blood flowing through his veins was the force of a distraught TK desperately pumping it through his heart? This was the deepest and most primal fear he had ever felt. 
Somewhere deep inside he had known that this was a possibility. From the moment TK had showed up at their door with that fear in his eyes the thought had been whispering in the back of his mind. But being here and seeing it, knowing that they had been not even fifty feet from Carlos that morning; that his son had been hurt and in trouble and he had been so close but had done nothing, made it all so much more real. 
He didn’t even need to ask TK for his professional opinion of the situation, he knew how bad it was. He also knew that if they had been just a few minutes sooner Carlos could have been fine.  Just as much as he knew if they had been just a few seconds later any hope they did have (tenuous as it may be) would have expired, right along with his son. It was a cruel trick on the part of the universe; to bring them here so close to saving him but just maybe a little bit too far.

Alex moves to stand over him, looking down at that soft pink mouth. He feels himself standing at a very tall, very dangerous precipice, with no intention of backing away.

drunk on your voice, high on the moment
Henry Fox is a musician who, after the death of his father, has been struggling to connect with his music. When he decides to finally begin with his next album, Henry comes across a studio owned by Alex Claremont-Diaz. Slowly, Henry, with the help of Alex, reconnects with his music and overcomes his grief. Eventually, Henry also has to come to terms with the strong connection that he has built with Alex along the way.  rated: e // 24.2k words
HENRY
Henry welcomes the warmth that surrounds him, both in feeling and in temperature, when he steps through the door of the studio. The weather had quickly turned just as he had arrived, the wind beginning to pick up and raindrops beginning to fall from the dark clouds above. It reminds him of home. He hopes that perhaps the rain will be the cause to drive away the flashing cameras that sit outside the building, awaiting a single glimpse of him. He certainly did not miss that. But he would never say so, having convinced Shaan that he could conquer this part on his own. However, he was still attempting to convince himself of it.
While Henry waits, he wanders the length of the hallway, admiring the framed records of artists that had once recorded in this studio. To his left, there is an empty office and to his right, the recording booth. Henry steps in, exhaling a deep breath as his gaze falls onto the black sleek piano sitting dormant in the space.
Henry moves towards it, as if it calls out to him and stares down at the keys for a beat. Music, for Henry, has always been a saving grace. No matter what he was going through, he could simply play and feel all his worries melting away. But after his father got sick, like so many things in his life, music got put onto the backburner. Ever so slowly, as each day his father got worse, he felt the connection to music slipping away too.
Henry carefully places his fingers on the keys. He hasn’t played a single note since his father’s passing, scared of the grief that hangs around him each time he has attempted. But now, he takes a moment of reflection before he allows himself to begin playing. The song is the first he had learned on the piano back when he was a child. It was a silly, upbeat tune that his father had taught him and Henry had loved it. The moment he hears it, it brings memories flooding through Henry.
Arthur Fox, for all intents and purposes, had been the beginning, middle, and end of the journey of Henry’s music. Or, if Henry could have things his way, that would be the simple end of it. But he had promised another album, had signed a contract and while the label had sent him a card with how devastatingly heartbroken they were for his loss only three months ago; they were now demanding him back into the studio. To make matters all the worse, the head of the record company happens to be Henry’s own grandmother. It makes it all feel like such a betrayal.
Henry, for all intents and purposes, would like to tell them to shove it.
