We'll Change the World Yet to Our Dessire [sic] by @torvagatai
@indomitable-love: I just adore this fic and I so rarely see people talking about it, and as it's a little older I think it's got a little lost and I'd LOVE for more people to discover it because I think it's amazing. It's Alex & Henry on a royal tour, battling with Mary to announce their engagement – tender, beautiful, vivid, romantic, has great characterisation and tension without feeling angsty. Just a top tier RWRB fic.

i think i am finally clean by @coffeecatsme (book-verse)
@na-dineee: The author is no stranger to the fandom and has already written quite a few stories that are well worth reading. This fic (POV Alex) is not a prequel to "he looks up grinning like the devil", but it is advisable to read the story beforehand, as they are closely connected. Mind the tags and read the notes, it has a lot of hurt and discomfort in it - but it should get better with Chapter 3 (according to the author, the focus from then on is healing). Getting to know vulnerable, yet strong and fighting Alex is really touching and kept me thinking for a long time!
Binary Light by @leaves-of-laurelin (book-verse)
@dot524: I love reading about Henry and Alex as movie stars, and this story has one of my favorite versions of that yet. They star in a sci-fi sequel here, with a plot that mirrors their own enemies-to-lovers saga. The tension between them — both sexual and otherwise — is sky-high. Enjoying the regular updates and plot turns as this story gets going!
A Cloud on Fire Makes its Own Rain by foux_dogue (book-verse)
@dot524: Henry left when Alex tried to say he loved him at the lake house… and he never came back. Twenty years later, Alex is a TV producer who is single and fighting to find his way, and Henry is abdicating. What happens when they encounter each other again? The thing I really liked about this one was Alex’s thoughts about getting older, empty spaces, and what might have been.
Shades of Bougainvillea by @happiness-of-the-pursuit (book-verse)
@na-dineee: The author announces 15 chapters, two have already been published: Martha and Shaan. Each chapter will be narrated by a different character, with no repeats, and matches the events of one book chapter. And so we'll get a whole new look at the events that we originally only know through Alex's POV. So good already, so promising.
Set in Platinum by @cricketnationrise (book-verse)
@thesleepyskipper: This is a follow up to Going Platinum which was a fantastic work featuring camboy!Alex and one of his subscribers, Henry. In the sequel, Henry and Alex are newly minted boyfriends and we get to see how their relationship both on and offline changes now that they've finally gotten together. Just the first chapter brought me right back into this world, totally immersed! I cannot wait for the rest!
