Thanks for the tags, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @kiwiana-writes, @inexplicablymine, and @three-drink-amy.

I'm keeping things going today with a little more of my project with @kiwiana-writes, since we've been having a lot of fun with that this week. This is actually part of the same scene I shared on Wednesday, which I just finished writing, like, ten minutes ago:

"What I don't understand is how the lot of you can sit there and do nothing."  "What choice do we have?" June says. Deliriously, Henry wonders if he sounded so ridiculous on that rainy night in Kensington—truly, it's no wonder Alex burst through the palace doors, forceful as the storm outside, and called him an obtuse fucking asshole. But that was a lifetime ago. Henry is no longer the gilded prince who simply allows things to happen to him; he'll be damned if he'll let this happen to Alex without a fight.  It seems fitting that Alex's own words fly from Henry's mouth then:  "You could try."

Warm like the glow that you feel head to toe

by kiwiana Alex swallows audibly, eyes darting all over Henry’s face. “Your Ro— Henry.” And oh, that’s the timbre with which Henry wants to hear his name come out of Alex’s mouth; it’s low and a little frantic, and it tugs at something in Henry’s navel. “I’m twice your age.” “Do you think I’m twenty?” “Jesus Christ, I rounded for dramatic effect.” Alex fixes him with a look that’s half frustration, half something Alex is trying very hard not to let show. The thing is, though, that Henry became an expert at covert glances and hidden signals during his time at Oxford, and he’d bet his entire ridiculous Crown allowance that Alex wants him as badly as he wants Alex. Or, Alex is a senator; Henry is a prince who knows exactly what he wants.

My latest podfic! A short little soulmates AU from the incomparable @kiwiana-writes.

[Podfic] We were supposed to find this (M, 20 minutes)

Still, half an hour after shaking Prince Henry’s hand for the first time, he finds himself back in his hotel room with one shoe and sock hurriedly tugged off and his right foot resting on his left knee. Just to check. Just in case Alex is somehow, by some miracle, about to become the first documented case of Surprise! You Can Totally Have A Different Soulmate, We Fucked Up And Your One Kind Of Sucks. No such luck. The words are the same as they’ve always been, etched into his skin in a careful, calligraphic font. The kind of handwriting someone might have if, for example, they came from the sort of family that valued tradition and etiquette far higher than letting their children write like normal human beings.

Go listen, and make sure to leave kudos at the original work as well!

I literally just opened a GOOGLE DOC for this comment I’m about to write. It’s entitled “Hinged or Unhinged” because it is for @kiwiana-writes ridiculously phenomenal Shakespeare retelling of Much Ado About Nothing as a West End stage play, where Alex and Henry play a gender bent gay coupling of Benedick and Beatrice.

Will keep you updated on just how unhinged this comment gets…

Henry needs to leave. Possibly the country, but certainly this conversation.

“Michelle?” She appears in the doorway, frowning as she takes in the Great Brownie Sacrifice. “Would you be able to assist this customer, please? I have to take all this into the back and…” There’s no professional way to say drown myself in the staff toilet, so eventually he goes with: “clean up.”

My latest embroidery, on the theme of the old NZ 2c coin (RIP 1967-1990, possibly the most beautifully designed coins we've ever had)

The plant is a kowhai tree, an NZ native. Not pictured are the 1 million tui fighting to drink from the flowers, or the sole kereru who is attempting to eat them.

Radio Hauraki remembers Darcy Clay

Radio Hauraki, a popular New Zealand radio station, is mourning the loss of one of its beloved musicians, Darcy Clay. The talented singer-songwriter passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 25, leaving behind a legacy of music that continues to resonate with fans around the world.

Darcy Clay, whose real name was Daniel Bolton, burst onto the music scene in the late 1990s with his infectious blend of lo-fi pop and punk rock. His debut single, "Jesus I Was Evil," quickly became a hit on the New Zealand charts and earned him a loyal following of fans who were drawn to his raw, unfiltered sound and quirky lyrics.

Despite his success, Darcy Clay struggled with mental health issues and addiction throughout his career. His music often reflected his inner turmoil, with songs that touched on themes of loneliness, alienation, and self-destruction. Despite his struggles, Darcy Clay continued to create music that resonated with listeners and earned him critical acclaim.

Radio Hauraki was one of the first radio stations to champion Darcy Clay's music, giving him airplay and exposure that helped him reach a wider audience. The station's DJs were among his biggest supporters, regularly playing his songs on their shows and inviting him to perform live on air.

In the wake of Darcy Clay's passing, Radio Hauraki has been flooded with messages of condolences from fans and fellow musicians who were inspired by his music. The station has dedicated airtime to playing his songs and sharing stories of his life and career, honoring his memory and celebrating his contributions to the New Zealand music scene.

"Darcy Clay was a true original, a one-of-a-kind talent who left an indelible mark on the music world," said Radio Hauraki DJ Sarah Gandy. "His music was like nothing else out there, and his unique voice and perspective will be sorely missed. We are devastated by his loss, but grateful for the music he left behind."

Fans of Darcy Clay have also been paying tribute to the late musician, sharing their favorite songs and memories of his performances on social media. Many have expressed their sadness at his passing and gratitude for the impact his music had on their lives.

"Darcy Clay's music spoke to me in a way that no other artist's ever has," said fan Emily Thompson. "His songs were like a window into his soul, and I felt like I could relate to his struggles and emotions on a deep level. I will always cherish the memories of seeing him perform live and the joy his music brought me."

In addition to his music, Darcy Clay was also known for his eccentric personality and offbeat sense of humor. He often incorporated elements of comedy into his performances, creating a unique and entertaining stage presence that endeared him to fans and critics alike.

"Darcy Clay was a true original, a one-of-a-kind talent who left an indelible mark on the music world," said music journalist Mark Johnson. "His music was like nothing else out there, and his unique voice and perspective will be sorely missed. We are devastated by his loss, but grateful for the music he left behind."

Despite his untimely passing, Darcy Clay's music continues to inspire and resonate with fans around the world. His songs remain a testament to his talent and creativity, and his legacy lives on through the memories and experiences of those who were touched by his music.

Radio Hauraki will continue to honor Darcy Clay's memory by playing his music and sharing stories of his life and career with listeners. The station remains committed to supporting local artists and showcasing the best of New Zealand music, ensuring that Darcy Clay's contributions to the music world are never forgotten.

As the music community mourns the loss of Darcy Clay, fans and fellow musicians alike are coming together to celebrate his life and legacy. His music will continue to inspire and uplift listeners for years to come, a fitting tribute to a talented artist who left us far too soon.

By this point, MJ (@kiwiana-writes) and I have both casually mentioned a secret project. It's still a secret, but I am a menace and a plague and I'm sharing this with absolutely no context whatsoever:

Henry's gaze flicks across the desk to meet the stoic expression of the President of the United States: a carefully schooled pose he recognizes from the mirror after his father passed. The hard line of her jaw and the bleak look in her eyes betray the attempt at being inscrutable to anyone who knows the signs. Beside her, June is openly somber, tears welling, and her bottom lip is trembling. Nora holds her hand over the table. And Henry should say something supportive. He should nod and say that he understands. He should roll back his shoulders and acknowledge that he, as someone who is not even a legal citizen of this country, is grateful to be included in this conversation at all. Gratefulness, too, is a practiced pose for the spare. Henry is meant to smile and say, "thank you," even in meetings with Parliament. He is a figurehead. A charm. At any rate, the papers have already been drawn for Henry's abdication, which removes even the illusion of Henry's political power. At this moment, he is, for all intents and purposes, just a guest here—someone invited out of the kindness of Ellen Claremont's heart.

NONE OF MY LOVE WILL GO TO WASTE

by @kiwiana-writes for @clottedcreamfudge

[rated E, 5,306 words]

Alex had pulled away at the sound of the door opening, is the thing. He’d looked up at Henry with wide eyes and spit-slick, swollen lips, and Henry knows intrinsically that he will never be rid of that mental image. He’ll take it into the shower later, into bed tonight, into the rest of his natural life; if he hits his head tomorrow and winds up with some medically implausible form of amnesia, the key to unlocking his identity will be the enduring memory of a beautiful mystery man and his perfect cock-sucking mouth.  Because Alex was—Christ, he was—

Or, Henry has made peace with the fact that he's in love with his straight roommate. When he walks in on said "straight" roommate with a man, though, he may need to re-evaluate.
