#Sophie1973

[sophie1973]

I was tagged by the ever so lovely Val @hgejfmw-hgejhsf (thank you :)) so here is the second and last snippet of my Slayer Henry/Vampire Alec wip as it will hopefully get posted by the end of the coming week/next weekend.

Suddenly, Jane Austen is the last thing on his mind. The vampire has one hand curled around his neck, and the other presses Henry’s shoulder against the cold bricks. A predatory grin adorns his lips, and Henry thinks that this is decidedly not a good time to wonder about how long and pretty his fucking eyelashes are.  The pressure on his neck and shoulder intensifies, and he can feel the man’s thigh slip between his own and putting some pressure on his crotch. His nose detects a rather intoxicating, spicy mix of santal, cardamom, and violet, and…is that cinnamon? The vampire brings his lips against Henry’s throat and gives it a lick. Henry gasps. The tip of the vampire’s fangs are now grazing his skin but he doesn’t bite, nipping softly at the smooth flesh, as if searching for the best spot to feed. Henry’s always been told they go straight to the jugular, but alright, this one likes to play with his food. If Bea doesn’t arrive in the next few seconds, he’s probably fucked. And not in a good way.

Tagging some of you lovely writers, with no pressure, obviously

I choose you and me (religiously)

by Sophie1973 Henry left. Realization hits him like a tidal wave, and a whimper is ripped out of his throat, turning into a sob, and he crumples, holding his chest, a sudden pain so visceral and unlike he’s ever felt before, a gaping wound as big as the ocean that now sits between them. It’s Sunday morning in Texas, and Alex’s heart breaks into a million little pieces. Or Five Sunday mornings in the lives of Alex and Henry.

thank you @kiwiana-writes @junebugclaremontdiaz @jmagnabo92 @wordsofhoneydew and @iboatedhere for the tags! it's been a hot minute since i've made any real progress with psych au, but i have been jotting down the many possible options for a love confession (posted one here a while ago if you want something less silly) so here's another from the vault, aka my notes app.

Alex quickly turns back to the car and leans in close so not even Nora can hear him when he whispers, "Now's probably a really bad time to tell you I'm in love with you, right?" Henry stares at him, mouth agape. "Dreadful, actually." Alex nods. "That's what I thought. Point stands, though." "Noted." "So I'm gonna," Alex points over to where Yang is still waiting. "I'm gonna head over there." "You do that," Henry replies. "And Alex?" "Yeah?" "Be careful." Alex reaches out with a shaky hand and gently cups Henry's cheek. The novelty of finally being able to do that will wear off at some point, but the reverence with which he does it never will. "I haven't been careful a day in my life, sweetheart. Why start now?" And then runs off before Henry can get in another word.

gentle no pressure tagging that i'm re-trying after they failed this morning @ninzied @jellibuns @priincebutt @magicandarchery @onthewaytosomewhere @stellarm @alasse9 @nocoastposts @forever-fixating @suseagull04 @firenati0n + an open tag!

who would've thought that a guy like henry would double as a superstar?

tags: hannah montana au, crack treated seriously, crack, fluff, angst, crangst if you will, social media au, twitter elements, crack treated so seriously it's now fully fucking earnest

Henry never thought he’d become a global pop superstar. Millions of people screaming his name, hundreds of bras and boxers thrown on stage, so many records sold. A face full of glitter and a heart full of dreams. But no one really knows Henry. Not in a way that matters. Herny Mountana belongs to the fans. Henry Fox has to belong to himself, or else he'll vanish.

Or, Henry is Hannah Montana, and it's crack treated extremely seriously and earnestly. Have fun!

WIP WEDNESDAY

alright alright alright - so i'm getting this done now and using the tags i already got tonight thanks ever so much @theprinceandagcd & @priincebutt (and also for the sunday tag nico) 💚

i'm still on my southern philanthropy or liam/pez one night stand fic so that's what we're getting

Liam motions with his head toward the bar, and Percy nods; he feels Percy’s hand in his, and before he knows it, they’re in a roped-off area with its own bar. Percy leads him to a table with bottles of water and a bottle of some top-shelf whiskey with glasses on the table. Liam takes the water he’s handed and opens it, taking a swig as he watches Percy pour a couple of fingers into a glass for each of them over a couple of ice cubes. It’s interesting because he only knows two other people who drink it this exact way. Actually, he thinks it’s this exact brand; Henry’s made Alex’s taste in whiskey even more expensive than it used to be. It’s definitely not the Maker’s Mark they used to sneak in high school. The whiskey tastes smooth on his tongue, and Liam thinks about how other things might taste as well as he watches Percy’s mouth around the rim of his glass. As Percy’s tongue catches the drop of whiskey left on it when he pulls away his glass, he wonders what it might be like to follow that tongue with his own and chase the taste of the expensive whiskey into his mouth. He’s thinking about his tongue in Percy’s mouth as Percy says something he misses in his contemplation. The smirk Percy sends him alerts him to the fact that he missed something, and he pulls himself back to the moment and says, “I’m sorry, what was that?” “I was just wondering what you thought of the whiskey; from what I understand, whiskey is one of those things you southern boys drink; well, based on the accent, I’m assuming southern.” “Yeah, Texas.” “Huh, Texas boys and their whiskey, I guess,” Percy mutters under his breath and shrugs. Liam briefly wonders what he means by that but lets it slide for now. Maybe he’ll remember to ask later.

-- he won't remember to ask later lolz but he will figure out what he means

open tag for anyone who wants to play and other no-pressure tags beneath the cut cuz well, they still are messed up as far as i know lolz

Several Sentence Sunday 03/07

Hello my loves, another Sunday and May is working again. Honestly at this point it’s homophobic that they’re making me work on Several Sentence Sundays but thank you @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @sophie1973 @nocoastposts @theprinceandagcd @sunnysideprince @onthewaytosomewhere @wordsofhoneydew @duchessdepolignaca03 and @priincebutt for the tags ily all <3<3<3

This weeks snippet is from one of the next chapters of How Dare You Want Me

A little snippet for an upcoming chapter of my accidental tweet au

So… Alex’s latest tweet has garnered over two million likes- making it one of the most liked tweets ever and Zahra didn’t appreciate it when Alex has simply corrected her by saying he didn’t tweet “fuck the monarchy” but said ‘’fuck monarchy”.

He is now sitting in one of the meeting rooms in the White House, waiting for his inevitable doom- whether Zahra will kill him herself or if his mom’ll sic the FBI on him and ride the dead kid train to her second term is unclear. But both of these options seem better than the alternative, facing Henry who had called and sent many, many text messages none of which Alex actually read.

Just when he accepts the fact that the third option is the best- setting himself on fire, the door slams open, the scary clanking of Zahra’s heels filling him with dread.

It might take me some time to see y’all posts but I love you all. As always open tag to anyone who wants to and some no-pressure tags under the cut <3

ok this is so much more than seven sentences but I'm not sorry because I really like this one ksjhdksjhdkh

from cha cha real smooth au --

+

“No. I’m not giving up on you guys,” Alex insists. “It’s okay to have something that you want, just because you want it. I—” 

Henry rounds on him, blue eyes blazing and chin tipped up with a finger pointed toward his chest. “And who told you you were what I wanted?” 

The air in the suite feels stale, empty, Donovan’s suit jacket draped over the chair, his watch on the dresser, his robe on the back of the bathroom door. Not a single thing in here is Henry’s, and Alex isn’t sure how to prove it to him, to make him understand that he deserves to exist. 

“I love you.” 

His hand crumbles back down to his side as he chokes. “Alex—” 

“And I’m not expecting you to say it back but I just wanted you to know that somebody out there loves you without asking for anything in return. If you’re going to kick me out of your life then at least let me say that.” 

“You can’t— you can’t—” Henry stumbles backward, nearly tripping over the settee and steadying himself with one hand on the edge of the bed, the other on the center of his chest. “You can’t say that. I can’t know that, Alex. What could you possibly be thinking—” 

“Why? What’s so crazy about that?” 

“Because,” Henry sputters. “Because you can’t just decide that you love someone. That isn’t how it works.”  

“Yes, you can.” 

“No, you can’t.” 

“Why not?” 

“Because I haven’t done anything to bloody earn it, Alex!” he yells. “Can’t you see that? I don’t deserve it.” 

“Love isn’t something you earn, Henry. It’s something you give. It’s something you choose to give.” 

Henry’s jaw works from one side to the other, his lashes fluttering, weighed down with glassy tears that Alex knows he won’t let overflow. 

“Well, I don’t want it,” Henry mutters shakily. “Give it to someone else, then.” 

“I know you don’t know how to accept it—” 

“I don’t deserve it.” 

“—but it’s yours, Henry. I’m not giving it to anyone else. It’s yours whether you want it or not because this is my choice,” he whispers. He doesn’t bother trying to hide his trembling lip, even as he stands firm in front of him. “You’ve made yours. This is mine.”

no pressure, I hope you're all doing well! @firenati0n @myheartalivewrites @nocoastposts @wordsofhoneydew @eusuntgratie @myheartalivewrites @duchessdepolignaca03 @anchoredarchangel @affectionatelyrs @read-and-write- @happiness-of-the-pursuit @cricketnationrise @ships-to-sail @rmd-writes @tinyarmedtrex @gay-flyboys @firstsprinces @priincebutt @theprinceandagcd and as always an open tag for anyone else who'd like to share!!!!!

Six Sentence Sunday!

Emerging from the depths of the land of the uninspired, exhausted muses, Val is here to share a little bit of writing from a WIP that is close to being finished, but isn't quite there just yet. The wheels have started to turn once more, so I'm hoping by sharing this and getting some validation from y'all, it might just give the muse the push she needs to get back in the game.

No tags as of 10:30 PM ET when I'm about to schedule this, so I'm going to start us off, and if someone tags me between now and midnight ET, I'm sorry in advance haha.

“Turns out attempting to suck my brain out through my dick is pretty fucking sobering because I want to commit it to the long term memory bank, so I’m fine,” he assures, and Henry believes him. The laser focus in his brown eyes, a look that Henry recognizes all too well. He’s seen it in the middle of the night, gazing back at him from the office where Alex was hunched over his laptop and surrounded by a pile of law books. He’s seen it in the kitchen, Alex’s tongue sticking out from between his lips as he attempts one of his abuela’s recipes. And he’s seen it in Kensington Palace, what might as well be in another lifetime now, lighting the midnight dark and filling Henry with a hope that he didn’t feel he deserved for a life that he is now living. “And I want it. I want you.”

Tags for my lovelies behind the cut! I've been hearing that Tumblr's got some weird, five tags per line rule, so I hope this works!

Sevenish Sentence Sunday

I decided not to miss another week!!! Thanks to everyone who's been tagging me, since tumblr has been weird (I don't know if it still is?) I'm going to actually thank y'all below the cut :)

This snippet celebrates the fun F1 race from today and the photos that everyone's enjoyed of TZP in the Ferrari garage:

June doesn’t drown him or his phone, but she does give him a fucking earful while he’s lying in bed that night. It’s still not enough to make him regret a single word he’d said. “—also ‘Ferrari Foes’ is trending on Twitter. And, there’s a series of rumors circulating that Ferrari’s going to be forced to choose between the two of you,” June finishes with a huff. “Okay, but that’s just a rumor, right?” “Yes, but you’re missing the point, Alex.” “The point that I hate Fox and am looking forward to beating him in the Driver’s Championship?” Alex clarifies. It’s probably a good thing that June can’t see the smirk on his face. “I don’t think anyone missed that.”

Thanks to @firenati0n @suseagull04 @run-for-chamo-miles @blueeyedgrlwrites @kiwiana-writes

and @rmd-writes for today's tags, plus past recent tags from some of y'all and @thedramasummer @cactusdragon517 @eusuntgratie @wordsofhoneydew

and @sparklepocalypse @hgejfmw-hgejhsf !!! I have not been ignoring y'all I just haven't been on tumblr.

It's late, but still tagging a few folks for fun, use this for a late sunday post or a wednesday post: @ash-morrison @affectionatelyrs @cultofsappho @emmalostinwonderland @galitzine-nick

Sunday Sentences, April 21, 2024

I actually have sentences today! Revisited an old friend this morning while at breakfast for the first time since February. I didn't realize how much I missed this universe, so welcome back to my single dad Alex fic.

Thanks for the tags @kiwiana-writes @thesleepyskipper and @cha-melodius for the tags!

Henry knows it's a sensitive topic before he asks the question, but turns his attention away from watching Elena on the jungle gym to look at June and asks, "What about her mother?" June purses her lips, breathing deeply while she considers Henry's question. He takes this is a good sign, since every time he asks Alex about it, the topic is immediately shut down. "What has Alex told you?" June's voice is cautious and it takes her an extra beat before turning her head to meet Henry's gaze.  "You know Alex." June nods."I do." Henry turns his attention back to the playground for a moment, long enough for Elena to see him watching, and he feels that tug in his chest that's become as familiar and automatically to him as breathing. Elena waves at him, smiles so wide Henry can see her dimples even at a distance, and he knows there is absolutely nothing he wouldn't do to keep her happy, protected, and loved. June must sense that in him because she takes a deep breath and begins to talk.

Always an open tag so please tag me if you take it, but also tagging: @bigassbowlingballhead @getmehighonmagic @violetbaudelaire-quagmire @eusuntgratie

“Can you fucking believe that guy?” 

They haven’t ordered their meal yet, but Alex is already on his second mimosa and he hasn’t shut up about Henry since they sat down. 

“I don't know why you’re deciding to be offended by this,” June says as she turns the menu over. “It’s not like you were targeted. You weren’t even the only one that needed the blocks. There's no reason to get so bent out of shape about it.”

“If he could bend himself out of shape about it he wouldn’t need the blocks,” Nora says. “I think I’m gonna get the smoked salmon platter.”

“I don’t care if other people need them, it’s no big deal, it’s fine. I’m just saying that I didn’t need them.” He finishes off his mimosa. “That’s all I’m saying.”

“All that is true except for the part where you definitely did need them.” Nora says. 

“I didn’t.”

“Alex,” June says. “Almost everyone needs them when they start. You did a really good job for it being your first time. I’m really proud of you for going and trying something new, and now that you know it’s not for you, you can try something else and we never have to talk about this again.”

“Oh, I’m going back,” Alex says. “Are you kidding? I have to go back. I’ve got a week to become a yoga expert. I’m gonna watch a million hours worth of YouTube videos and I’m gonna get my own mat—.” He looks to Nora. “That doesn’t smell like your feet, and I’m gonna go back there and blow his mind.”

“You should just blow him,” Nora says. 

“Not after his little block stunt.”

WIP Wednesday

Thank you so much to my beloved @stellarm and @onthewaytosomewhere for the tags

Since I posted a big chapter for Bloodstream yesterday (here) I took a break for 24 hrs and focused on my other (small town/lake house) WIP

Story : Henry is a hotelier in London, but his life has become unbearable, so he flees to Texas, where he inherited a house from his aunt (yes I gave Arthur Fox a sister).

I promise I'm working on a better summary. Also, this is a first draft.

The view of the lake is stunning.

Henry puts his messenger bag on the kitchen counter, taking in the inside of the house. There is a spacious cottage-style kitchen with all the modern appliances. A couple of steps lead to a cozy living room with a stonewall fireplace and comfortable couches. There’s a gigantic bookshelf filled to the brim with books, and he smiles for the first time in weeks.

He knows his aunt Marjorie shared the same taste in books as he does, so it’s good to know he’s covered for a while, mainly since most of his own, aside from a few favorites, remained in England. 

And he’s not going back for a long, long while.

He needed to get his suitcase out of the rental car, but his priority was to get David out after the one-hour-and-a-half drive from Austin so he could do his business—directly on the car's tire, no less- and get into the house.

This house left to him by his aunt, who probably saved his life by doing so.

He can still hear Pez’s voice in his head (“Just go, Hazza. Fuck that Wicked Witch of the West. I’ll miss you, but I prefer you alive.) and Bea softly smiling at him because she knows. She understands.

That same smile looks at him from the picture on the kitchen counter, a teenage Bea with her arm around him, always the protective big sister. He stares at his own face, a young boy with a big smile, and wonders how it all went so wrong.

Next to that picture is another one of Marjorie and Arthur. They are in their mid-twenties, looking young and beautiful. She never followed in her brother’s footsteps, choosing a quiet life away from the media, but unlike him, she had the chance to grow old and live a fulfilling life. 

His father remains eternally young, his face and smile frozen in time in family pictures and film pellicles.

A sudden wave of grief grips Henry’s chest, making him stumble, and he sits down on the steps, trying to catch his breath. He hasn’t had one in a while, probably because he was too busy packing his stuff and leaving everything behind.

His job, which he loves, but he can’t bear the toxic environment created by his grandmother anymore.

His family, even though he will only truly miss Bea. They have promised each other to keep in touch several times a week despite the time difference, and she will come to see him soon.

London, where he lived all his life. 

So here he is, 5000 miles from home in Small Town, Texas (otherwise known as Horseshoe Bay), where he doesn’t know anyone and has no idea what the Bloody Hell he will do with his life. 

It is terrifying. Part of him knows he should find it exhilarating, but he is having trouble connecting with his optimistic self right now. 

He doesn’t even know where to start.

Henry feels a wet nudge at his arm. He looks down, sees David looking at him with his big puppy eyes, and laughs through tears he hadn’t realized were falling. The beagle puts its paw on his arm and tries to lick his face, and he pulls the dog against him, pressing a kiss and nuzzling his nose in its soft fur.

“We’ll be alright, my darling. We’ll be alright.”.

No pressure tag, and sorry if you already did it and I missed it : @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @piratefalls@anincompletelist@itsmaybitheway @tintagel-or-cockleshells@orchidscript@happiness-of-the-pursuit@pridepages

You Soft and Only

You, Soft and Only https://ift.tt/Q8toVML by Sophie1973 “God, Hen, I love you so fucking much,” he whispers in his mouth, and a gasped “Love you, too,” echoes in the darkness of the room as Henry bend his leg further and press a hand on Alex’s lower back, urging him to thrust a little bit faster. But Alex wants to take his time tonight. There’s a knock on the door and a little voice can be heard. “Daddy? Papi?” That sound is more effective than a bucket of ice-cold water, and Alex jumps off of Henry as both mutter a heartfelt “Shit!” and sit down.

wip wednesday!

thanks @priincebutt for the early tag! I just posted recently and that'll probably be all y'all get from me until after I've DEFENDED MY DOCTORAL DISSERTATION!?!?

but in the meantime here's a @aroyallybigbangrwrb snippet that is the lead up to maybe my favorite smut scene I've ever written :)

“So nothing you can’t miss?”  “If he didn’t take attendance, I’d skip.”  “Interesting.” At Henry’s tone, Alex risks another look over at him, and that dark smirk has definitely returned. Something sinister is flirting around the edges of Henry’s expression, tantalizing and sexy and quickly pushing Alex back toward hot and flustered.  After a pause, Henry speaks again. “And I’m assuming that, as is typical, it’s only that little window of you that your classmates can see? And that you are visible but muted?”  Confused as to why Henry is suddenly so interested in the mechanisms of Zoom, Alex blinks at him. “Uh, yeah. They can’t see me otherwise, and they can’t hear me unless I choose to unmute.”  Without another word, Henry stands and takes a few steps toward Alex, looking like a goddamn Calvin Klein model in the middle of Alex’s apartment. He pauses a few feet away, and just when Alex is about to ask him what he’s doing, Henry smirks and drops to his hands and knees and crawls toward him.  He pushes gently on Alex’s leg when he gets to him, and Alex scoots his chair back, trying to figure out what in God’s name Henry is doing when— Oh.

wip wednesday <3 :)

hello friends :) thank you to everyone for the tags over the last few weeks (i will tag back under the cut). <3 appreciate the shouts!

here is a snip from the doc i have affectionately named nolan!alex / murphy!henry fuck around and find out, the actor au...collaborators to friends to lovers to exes to enemies to grudging partners to friends to lovers YEEHAW! pls forgive any editing errors <3

Alex's eyes are hot as he blinks back tears, Henry's profile blurring and distorting. “Tu me manques, remember? You kept saying that and I kept going ‘Oh, he's so hot when he's speaking French’ like the idiot I am. But I looked it up and it's not just ‘I miss you’, is it? It’s fucking ‘you are absent from me’, like a piece of me belongs to you, a part of you that’s mine. Why would you—why the fuck would you whisper this to me so earnestly every time you think I can’t hear you, and then turn around and pull this shit? Are you embarrassed by us, by me? Is the piece of me you have not enough?” Henry stands in front of him, eyes a little distant and haunted, fingers flexing at his sides. His silence cuts Alex to the fucking core, lances through him and gets him square in his traitorous little heart. A fickle thing, love is. Will he ever be enough for someone? Alex steels himself to say the words he’s been holding back, the words that have been pushing up behind his teeth for months, making his gums ache and jaw tingle.  “I don’t want to be your dirty little secret, Henry. I deserve better. And I think you do, too. You just won’t allow yourself to see that, and it’s killing me.”

xoxo roop

+ no pressure tags under the cut and open tag as usual <3

OK-so it's Wednesday and WIPs and all that

ok so i meant to get back to hockey and books 'cuz that's where i wanna be right now but my brain was in a not so creative place until someone broke me out of it last night

so for wirp wednesday i got bits of a new thing that is gonna be part of a series NOT-SO-MUCH ONE NIGHT STANDS (cuz well they don't necessarily stay that way) that i've already got 2 fics going for - one firstprince and one liam/pez cuz well that's apparently really becoming a thing for me

so first thanks @suseagull04 for the out of context lines tag - i have something for that too (not one of those other ones) throwing this on here too cuz i can lol

He kisses Henry on the cheek, whispers, “Get me whatever you wanna share,” and sneaks up to the office when everyone is finalizing the breakfast order

thank you so much for the wip wed tags @jmagnabo92 @theprinceandagcd @suseagull04 @firenati0n @adreamareads

@piratefalls @duchessdepolignaca03 @thesleepyskipper oh! and stealing @kiwiana-writes and @cha-melodius open tags cuz that's what they're for :)

nsfw words & tags (it's the words nsfw not the tags lol)beneath the tag

Now, it’s moments like right now, where he’s biting his way across Alex’s thighs, thighs sprinkled with just the right amount of hair, hairy in the way that Henry likes, not just a dusting but actual hair that catches on his tongue as he lavishes the spots he’s sucked bruises into. These moments are the ones that make him so glad he got away from everything else. He can have this anonymous moment with someone so hot he doesn’t want to kick him out the way he has the others eventually. It’s halfway through the morning after, and they’ve yet to get out of bed for more than bathroom trips – one of those with some spectacular moments in the shower – and some quick trips to the kitchen for drinks and some quick snacks when Alex lures him into turning on the tv and watching a movie after round three. They barely make it through the movie when Henry is orgasming for the fourth time that night. Henry is no stranger to multiple orgasms; he’s in his low 20s and knows that brings with it a quicker refractory period. But Alex, the stranger who’s fast working on filling Henry in on every aspect of his life so it no longer feels that way, is doing things for that quick refractory period he’s never experienced before.  Henry doesn’t know how he got so lucky last night when he accompanied Pez and Liam to the club, but he is beyond happy that Liam decided to bring his friend, and that said friend was agreeable to finding his way into Henry’s bed.

if ya already did this and i missed it i'm sure i'll find it - consider me a top gun pilot doing a fly-by lolz
