#red white and royal blue prompt

[rwrbprompts]

Just wanted to pop in and give you all an update. As some of you may know, I am getting married this weekend and then the winter holidays I celebrate are the next weekend. I hoping to get back on track with posting updates after all the excitement is done. Along with that I have a couple WIPs I’ve been working on.

pieces

they fight. brownstone era. for @dreamsinthewitchouse. ~1k.

It starts out so small that Henry hardly realizes what it’s become until it’s too late. He doesn’t mean to sigh when Alex gets home and sets his things down at the table, next to the dinner Henry’s spent hours making only to then watch grow cold. But then Alex’s apology—which Henry is certain he means but rather wishes hadn’t been needed to start with—feels just sharp enough that Henry is hurt by it, and the hurt comes out all wrong.

It comes out angry, and maybe a little bit selfish, and Alex is stretched thin as it is, Henry knows this, yet once he’s made it about himself it’s like a disease and he can’t seem to stop it from spreading.

And then he hears Alex say that he can take the couch, and Henry goes so still it’s as if Alex just dealt him a physical blow. They’re fighting, he realizes. It’s one dinner, which Alex hadn’t even known he was missing, and now it’s come to them sleeping apart because Henry’s little feelings got wounded?

“No,” says Henry. “Absolutely not.”

Alex rubs tiredly at his eyes. “Are we really going to fight about this, too?”

“No,” says Henry hotly, “because this part is not up for discussion. You’re the one with exams tomorrow, so I’ll be taking the couch tonight, thanks.”

“Hen,” Alex starts, but Henry walks past him into the kitchen. He’s hanging on by a death grip to his very last shred of dignity when all he wants to do is let go.

.

His cloudy mood dissipates halfway through doing the dishes. Still, it takes with it more than just anger, draining him totally, leaving him not so much clear-headed as feeling like he’s all hollowed out.

Henry knows he’ll get no sleep tonight.

It’s not the couch itself, of course; it’s that even after all this time, sleep still doesn’t come easily without Alex there beside him. It’s David worrying at Henry’s feet, making distressed little snuffling sounds. It’s that no matter how small the fight, or how infrequently they do it, each time it never fails to awaken in Henry all the old fears that Alex will leave him. That Alex will finally decide he’s had enough of—well, all of this. All of Henry.

He tries not to think it too often. It’s not fair to Alex, and to the beautiful life that they’ve built together, but when 3AM comes and the semi-delirium of no sleep sets in, those fears are harder to write off as not real.

He wants nothing more than to go to Alex. To hold him and tell him how sorry he is, that he’s asked for more than he has any right to. That loving someone like Henry is neither simple nor easy, he knows, and he wants to be better, he will be better, for Alex. But that would be letting his fears speak for him, saying he’s less than, that the broken things in him are simply not meant to be loved.

Henry can do better than that. Alex would never stand for such talk, and perhaps more importantly, Henry will not stand for it either.

He tosses and turns, and lets the fears have their moment, looming large there in the dark. And then he gathers a blanket around his shoulders and heads up the stairs.

.

The light is still on in their bedroom. Henry can hear the flip of a page, the faint scratch of a pen from behind the door. He closes his eyes and pictures Alex at their desk, a hand through his hair, his forehead creased in concentration. Henry’s soothed by the routine of it, the familiar touches of a life with a person he knows so well and loves more than it should be possible to love another person but isn’t.

And he owes it to Alex, to let Alex love him back the same way.

Henry tucks himself in right there in the hallway, content just to know that Alex is there, and to not demand anything more of him than that. The fears retreat to their shadows once more, back to a smaller haunting—always there, a part of Henry, but a part that he knows Alex loves, just as fiercely as the rest of him, always.

.

He’s not certain how long he’s dozed for, but the next thing he knows is the feel of Alex’s lips on his brow. The soft way he murmurs, “Baby. Scoot over. David, you too. How long have you been here? Fuck, I’m so sorry.”

“Mm.” Henry cracks a bleary eye open as Alex drapes something heavy around them. His arms encircle Henry next, and it’s hard to think of a reason to move now that it feels like they’re both where they should be. David noses his way beneath the covers, shifting down to curl at their feet. “Love, are these our bed linens?”

“Yeah,” says Alex, nuzzling into Henry’s neck. That one simple touch is enough to make Henry’s entire chest ache with relief. “Was going to sneak onto the couch next to you. This works too though. Fuck, I missed you.”

“We shouldn’t stay on the floor,” Henry tells him, burrowing closer, breathing him in. His words are half-muffled against Alex’s chest. “You need rest, in an actual bed. You’ve worked hard and you deserve the world to show for it.”

“Don’t need any of that,” says Alex. “Just you. I will fight you on that part,” he adds when Henry opens his mouth. “I’m so pissed at myself that you thought for even a second any of those things could matter to me more than this.”

“No, I’ve been selfish,” frowns Henry. “I’ve been too focused on what I want, and what makes me happy, and—”

“Good,” says Alex. “It’s about fucking time.”

And then he leans in and kisses Henry like it’s everything Alex wants too, Henry defending himself, Henry fighting for what he wants and deserves. Henry, knowing he’s loved, and loved, for all that he is and never for a single thing less than that.

Halloween, Huh? Day 1 Reveals

In conjunction with the White House, the Palace is overjoyed to announce the first (of seven!) days of fanworks is now available for our most loyal subjects!

Incenatus - Rated E - 11201 words

Alex receives an invite to the hottest and most mysterious party in New York, but he's unprepared for what he finds there.

.🎃🎃🎃.

Save a horse - Rated E - 5055 words

Alex convinces Henry to dress up as cowboys for Halloween and quickly realizes that Henry dressed as a cowboy was not something he was entirely prepared for.

.🎃🎃🎃.

I Want Candy - Rated T - 4624 words

One or the other is a single dad, takes kid trick or treating, bam, meet-cute. Is the non-dad handing out candy? Is he taking his own kid (or niece/nephew) trick or treating? Is it at a Halloween party? You decide!

.🎃🎃🎃.

when you say my name (i like the way it sounds) - Rated G - 3636 words

When he looks back, he gives himself a moment to take it in. He basks in the sound of familiar laughter echoing around their kitchen in the simmering warmth and comfortability that comes with being sucked into Pez’s antics and lulled back by Bea’s steadiness. He revels in the swirl of Nora’s genius and calm of June’s kindness.

It’s not quite the same as LA all those years ago. It doesn’t take him by surprise or feel novel anymore. But it's still that feeling of rightness, a crystal clear understanding that this, these people, will always be a kind of home to him.

-- or, The Super Six take on a Halloween party. Henry, for once, let’s himself let loose. Drunk, uninhabited, and free to love Alex in public, Henry is happy. Alex stays sober to look after him, and he is so in love he could die.

.🎃🎃🎃.

season of the witch - Rated T - 1172 words

Witch's Brew is a lovely little coffee shop where Alex and his abuela work. But the name certainly invites a lot of customers looking for a spooky Halloween cup of joe (or earl grey tea, as it happens). As a result, Alex is not a fan of Halloween. But maybe something, or someone, could change his mind?

A story told through Alex and Nora's text messages.

.🎃🎃🎃.

I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see - Rated T - 1056 words

At the royal wedding, Alex drinks and dances and contemplates both of the princes.

.🎃🎃🎃.

[podfic] I Want Candy - Rated T - 17 words

One or the other is a single dad, takes kid trick or treating, bam, meet-cute. Is the non-dad handing out candy? Is he taking his own kid (or niece/nephew) trick or treating? Is it at a Halloween party? You decide!

Podfic of I Want Candy by Anonymous.

For all you RWRB writers. . .

#writing prompt #rwrb #red white and royal blue #firstprince

[nocoastposts]

Sweetheart

Dear Alex,

Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. I know we’ve made plans, so I hope you won’t mind me going off script - or, more succinctly, going with a list.

1. I was absolutely gone on you from the first time you called me ‘sweetheart’. Who knew that a single word from a charming, mouthy American could rewrite history?

2. I will never stop needing you to call me ‘baby’. Yes, even when we are old, weathered, and grey. You steal another piece of my heart every time you utter the word. 

3. I am yours, always and forever.

Love, Henry

[david-the-beagle]

fic idea:

Henry and Alex in their 'enemies' stage but Alex meeting and absolutely falling in love with David.

We're talking getting him spontaneous toys and treats, offering to take him on walks, researching nutritional info for his allergies, getting invested in his enrichment.

Except Alex is now seeing Henry through David's eyes and realizing that huh! Henry's a great pet parent so maybe he's okay and Alex had it all wrong?

[typicalaveragefangirl]

i'm just a girl, standing in front of the rwrb fandom, asking somebody to write an angsty, hurt/comfort fic where years down the line oscar dies and henry (who obv knows how hard it is to lose your dad) tries to be strong and support alex, who in turn thinks hen doesn't care because alex doesn't see him absolutely break down every time he's alone because now he's lost not one but two dads—maybe ft. some leo love somewhere in there because that little nerd deserves some adoration too

’til the walls did crumble and

rated e. ~5.5k. based on the prompt: “we shouldn’t do this” but they do so, anyway.

So much for using the wrong fork at dinner. He’s pretty sure this is a thousand times worse. Hundred-thousand? Nora could give him the exact number.

Also, he’s pretty sure there’s still buttercream on his ass.

.

Or, Alex has his bisexual awakening in a bathroom at Buckingham Palace, and also finds leftover cake in Henry’s hair. The two things are not not related.

[rmd-writes]

being greedy

#2 -Tarlos

#13 - firstprince

please & thank you & eager to shake your words loose

I’ve assigned each prompt I received a number and am using a random number generator to choose which prompt to write because I got quite a few from you all! If you’ve sent me one, I promise I will get to it!! Because I’m using these prompts to try to shake words loose after a bout of writer’s block, these are all just whatever I can come up with in <20min and barely edited 💖

Thanks for the prompts, Lims! Here is the first one, I'll come back with the other Tarlos prompt at some stage!

13. Playing with each other’s fingers (Firstprince)

Alex untangles his hand from Henry’s reluctantly – his other hand is wedged under Henry’s thigh – and pushes his hair out of his eyes. He probably needs a haircut. He gets distracted by the way the light glints off the gold band around his finger. It’s not shiny and new; instead gleams: worn, indented, a representation of a life well-lived and a love too big to be contained.

He can’t believe sometimes that Catherine and Henry entrusted Arthur’s wedding ring to him. The enormity of what that means makes his heart feel like it’s going to burst into a thousand tiny pieces.

“Love?” Henry strokes his hair.

Alex presses a kiss to Henry’s thigh before twisting on the sofa to look up at him, his head pillowed on Henry’s thigh. 

“Yeah, babe?”

“Where did you go? I was just asking if you wanted to pause here and have dinner,” Henry says, gesturing at the TV.

“Was just thinking,” Alex replies, absentmindedly spinning his wedding band around his finger with his thumb. 

Henry’s gaze shifts from Alex’s face to his hand, then he lifts his hand from Alex’s hip and catches his left hand, rubbing his own thumb over the ring before covering the back of Alex’s hand with his palm and intertwining their fingers together. He brings their joined hands to his mouth, pressing a lingering kiss to Alex’s palm before letting their hands settle on Alex’s chest.

Alex flexes his fingers, the shift causing their wedding rings to clink together softly, then shifts back onto his side, his cheek pressed against Henry’s bare thigh, tucking their hands higher against his chest.

“Another episode.”
