I donât write anymore so I canât âpush itâ into another story, but just know in your heart that Alex Guerin is a vegan. River, his pod baby aka Michaelâs clone, is also a vegan, a bleeding heart one. Michael doesnât care and will eat whatever is in the house.
I welcomeânay, encourageâeveryoneâs tears regarding my mentions of tofu and B12 supplements in my mediocre fanfiction about a truly horrendous CW show.
based on a silly comment mythras_fire once made: "Michael is made of sunshine, some of it spills out through his curls⌠Alex is his little rain cloud. Together they make things grow."
He had wanted to be Alex Guerin since he was seventeen, so he didnât seem that rushed to him. And now Michael is his man, as Kyle is oft to call him, officially. This is all he can think about as he watches his husband tryâand utterly failâto ice skate.
(More squishmallows for River!!) What do you imagine some of River's other milestones are like? Such as first day of school, first time trick-or-treating, first lost tooth, etc. And do you think you'd ever someday return to the Scream in There series? No pressure, just wondering! (also iirc you once said you wished you could include Dallas but it's too late continuity wise, I assure you that you could just have him show up with no explanation and we would all be thrilled lol)
all the squishmallows for the kid.
river's first day of school was a disaster, but he adjusts. i have some of his firsts written up as an abandon project. i could throw them in my bits and bobs work. would y'all be interested in that?
I love River so much! Iâve reread this series multiple times to get my River fix! Thank you for bringing him into the malex universe.
Do you think this adorable family of three will expand and give River a baby brother or sister? Do you have any other head canons around their future?
thank you! i love that people love him!
i think river would love a baby sister or brother, but i don't see how that would be feasible for the family. it is actually something i have been tooling around with writing about.
i have many future headcanons, too many to list! but here's one:
i'm sure it is relatively obvious to people that river is neurodivergent. when river is around 5/6, they put him in a group sport because alex read that kind of activity is can be very helpful for people with river's disposition. they try a bunch of sports, but river actually really takes to soccer! he ends up being a goalie. he is average height, but can jump super high. he also loves that he gets to wear the neon highlighter color uniforms and not the boring navy ones.
michael and alex, naturally, become total soccer dads.
Love âscream in thereâ so much! Iâm a Cambridge girlie so besides loving River and Malex as dads, I always love the Boston references. Where do you think the family loves to go/what do they like to do together on the weekends in Boston/New England?
boston forever tbh
river's fave fave fave thing to do is walk around jamaica pond (i used to leave around the emerald necklace and i miss it so muuuuch).
michael and river's love going to the aquarium and the science museum ~just the two of them~
all three of them also love:
the library duh
allandale farm
puppet shows
visiting the geese near simmons
mfa
trying to break in the gates to walk around harvard
going to any park, sometimes alex and river will do yoga in the park
seeing movies at coolidge corner
they tried going to the zoo once but river saw a bird of prey in a cage and started crying. then michael started crying. it was a whole thing.
Happy Holidays y'all! This year I wrote a (super adorable) fic for @dankmalexmemes for the Malex Secret Santa exchange (@malexsanta) I hope you enjoy your gift as much as I enjoyed making it!
Huge, massive, gift-basket thanks to @burntotears and @im-the-punk-who for being the best betas â¤ď¸
Title: we're made up of a thousand scars
Summary:
âWhat are you worried about?â Alex interrupted Michaelâs thoughts.
âAre you sure about this?â
âIsobel and I are more than capable of planning a holiday party together. Yes Iâm sure.â
-- Alex and Isobel plan the group's holiday party together. Michael has many feelings about it.
