"We're all one thing, Lieutenant. That's what I've come to realize. Like cells in a body. 'Cept we can't see the body. The way fish can't see the ocean. And so we envy each other. Hurt each other. Hate each other. How silly is that? A heart cell hating a lung cell"
- Cassie from THE THREE
From Adaptation credits

Light From Other Stars by Erika Swyler
A story told in two timelines, one in which our protagonist is an elementary school girl watching the Challenger explode in her small Florida town, and her lovable-but-undoubtedly-mad-scientist father has created a timey wimey device that wreaks havoc on the town.
Then in the future, our protagonist is on a spaceship headed to another planet to begin terraforming it for human use, and the crew runs into some Problems.
A fine book, and one I shelved in litfic rather than scifi even though I think the author would disagree with me.

new list, new year, (trying out a) new header, new post day. i'm back after a nice little vacation where i got almost zero reading done, so no one is more surprised by the amount of holiday fic here than me.
list one. list two. list three. list four. list five. list six. list seven. list eight. list nine.
No Consequences by AnchoredArchangel
"I sort of came out as bisexual to both Nora and myself when we were watching that fucking snoozefest of a Royal Wedding years ago, and I told her with no hesitation that you were on my list.” Suddenly, Henry looks very present in this previously one-sided conversation, eyes boring into him even if he sounds a little choked as he clarifies, “I was on-” “My No Consequences sex list,” Alex confirms brazenly, “Yeah." Or: During an inadvisable spot of dating years back, Alex and Nora made a game out of making extensive lists of celebrities they could hook up with without it being cheating. One breakup and several years later, Alex meets someone on his list for the very first time at a charity gala and decides it's appropriate to tell him all about it.
Wash a Bad Day Away by stellarmeadow
Alex has a bad day and needs to drown it in a tub.
this year I will fall by railmedaddy
Henry has many regrets in his life, but leaving the ice rink after a literal run in with the potential love of his life without even obtaining his name may be his biggest. With his family visiting for the holidays for the first time and ever-present work deadlines looming, he's too busy to think about how to engineer his own happy ending worthy of the novels he edits. But what if fate has other ideas?
the mountchristen pharma job by coffeecatsme
The alarm blares. Still, the man slides the key again and enters the room. He closes the door behind him, flips the flash drive in his palm. Walks to the room that’s supposed to be empty, the room they made sure was clear before they made their move. Except it’s not. And the man recognizes that head of blonde hair all too well. Henry fucking Fox-Mountchristen. Six years ago, Mountchristen Pharma's reckless actions caused Rafael Luna's death. Alex and June want to make it right, but they're not the only ones.
Take a Trip Into My Garden by @sparklepocalypse
Alex groans. From the sound of things, he’s in no better state than Henry. “Why in the absolute fuck does your family have a fucking Viagra orchid?” (A sex pollen fic that takes place on the grounds of Kensington Palace between the Cornetto scene and the interview blitz.)
you could call me babe for the weekend by weather_stained
It's been three years since Ellen Claremont lost the 2016 Presidential Election, and Alex hasn't seen Prince Henry since the Rio Olympics. When Alex, June, and Nora take a post-finals trip to a Vermont ski resort, Henry and his best friend Pez are the last people they expect to see waiting in line for the chairlift.  To Alex's great displeasure, Nora and June end up quite takenwith Pez, and Alex is forced to spend time with Henry. In one weekend, they become closer than he could have ever imagined.
come away with me by rizcriz
Alex closes the door behind himself and turns into his tiny apartment with an exhausted sigh. As he turns to flip the lightswitch, the subtle sound of fabric rustling hits his ears; carefully, he unclips his gun at his waist band, flips the light switch, and turns around, pulling the gun on the intruder. He nearly drops it at the sight of a familiar head of shining blond hair. “What the fuck?” Alex asks, taking a step in, and reaching with his free hand into his holster for the pair of cuffs he knows he clipped in this morning. “Intel said you were in London.” Henry Fox, international thief and conman, tilts his head where he’s sitting in Alex’s favorite armchair. “Honestly, Alex,” he says, waving a hand. “Put the gun away. We both know you’re not going to shoot me.” “Fuck you,” Alex hisses on impulse. “Put your hands up.” -- or Con Man Henry and Interpol Agent Alex
(Dil)Do It Yourself by happinessofthepursuit
“Listen,” Nora starts, turning her body once more so that she’s sitting sideways in the chair with her legs thrown across the armrest. “I did the math. There’s a 79% chance you’re gonna become a slut to the power of the prostate, and while we’re not dating anymore, it’s my duty as your fellow slutty bisexual to get this party started.” Or, when Nora drags Alex to a holiday dildo workshop, he doesn’t expect to find someone to use it with.
Gonna Give You Something (So You Know What's on My Mind) by affectionatelyrs
Alex hums, turning around to pull open the freezer drawer. “You want anything?” But Henry barely registers his question. Not when Alex is slightly bent over, allowing Henry a perfect view of his perfect ass. Each individual ridge of his spine is visible due to his lack of shirt. All of these things combined would normally be a large enough issue in itself to render Henry dumbstruck, except— Except, that’s not the only thing that Henry’s faced with. Right there, clear as day: blue lace, delicately peeking out from the waistband of his joggers. Henry’s hand immediately flies up to his cheek. The skin is hot to the touch, and he feels the imprint of where the material once lay like a brand. - Or, With the help of a white elephant gift, Henry learns that maybe the whole being-in-love-with-his-roommate thing isn’t as one-sided as he thought
i've forgotten if they're green or they're blue by metacrisis
When the worst snowstorm New York city has had since the Great Blizzard of 1947 snows Alex and Henry into their Brownstone, Alex falls into a bizarre dream and awakens in a world much like his own. Only it seems like he's suddenly five inches shorter, five years younger and why is Henry the only person who can tell? AKA, Movie Alex falls into Bookverse before he and Henry get together.
Ho for the Holidays by @whimsymanaged
“Listen, don’t worry about this,” Henry says quickly, already mentally crafting the passive-aggressive text he’s going to send Pez. “Better luck next year. I’ll just be off—“ “Hold your damn horses.” Alex stops Henry with a fast, surprisingly gentle hand to his wrist. His eyebrows furrow. “What did you put on your questionnaire?” Henry’s ears go hot. “That’s none of your business.” Alex scoffs and leans in closer. “Baby, we matched. It’s safe to say we have at least some interests in common. Be honest—was it because you confessed to having a secret desire to slap me?” Or, Pez organizes an event called Ho for the Holidays, and these two idiots get paired up.
Waiting in the Wings by DracoWillHearAboutThis
Henry had always known he would end up in an arranged marriage.  He had not expected, though, to end up in an arranged marriage with Prince Alex Claremont-Diaz, who he'd secretly been in love with for the past fifteen years.
Fill My Stocking by songliili
Alex has spent the past fifteen minutes talking with David about his favourite treats. Not that the dog answered, but Alex was undeterred and kept going, uncaring that Henry had asked him to give him an hour and then he’d join him in hanging up fairy lights and mistletoe everywhere. Very well. If Alex wants Henry’s attention, he'll have it. It's probably not what Alex thought he’d accomplish with his little scheme, but it's a compromise between Henry's needs and Alex's wants, and that's all that can be done. OR: Alex wants some attention and Henry has to get creative.
Here With Me by SatinBirds
When Zahra asks, “Would it make any difference at all if I told you not to see him again?”, it’s the easiest thing for Alex to categorically answer, “No.”
because it's Tuesday by headabovethewater
Right, so, here’s the thing; Alex hasn’t shaved in a while. He’s been so consumed by stress for his exams, his thesis, the post-election work he’s been doing for Ellen… It’s been a bit much for Alex, and while Henry is impressed by the fact that he’s able to keep himself standing and functioning, he has noticed that the scruff on his face has increased. A lot. Oh, Henry has noticed, alright.
i want to mark my skin (it is paper thin) by violetbaudelairequagmire
To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Subj: Tattoo Reference Attached: 1 file (orionsketch.jpg) Hello, Attached you’ll find a line art drawing of the constellation Orion. The shoulder blade is the intended location. Best, H.J. Fox OR: It's a Tattoo Shop AU!
Can't Buy Me Love by everwitch
Alex is a high end escort. Henry is his wealthiest client. He's also a total asshole, which Alex has zero patience for. He'd never let a client walk all over him like that, not even one with striking features and an air of firm authority that Alex has to keep reminding himself he’s not attracted to. But over time, Alex learns there's more to Henry than fiery insults and cruel dismissal. So much more. Alex is in so much fucking trouble. He should end things with Henry before he gets burned. (He couldn't end things with Henry if he got paid for it.)
He Was Here With Me by absoluteaudacity
Arthur lives: a wishlist
(Door)Dash to the Heart by bleedingballroomfloor
The man looks up when Henry opens the door. "Henry?" Henry clears his throat. "That's me," he manages. "Cool," the man says. "You're making me hungry for breakfast with this order, man. Which is bad for me, because my breakfast is usually just coffee, and there's no way I can drink that this late." "Uh," Henry says. He's pretty sure dashers don't talk this much during orders. "Anyway," the man says, handing the bag of food to Henry, "enjoy your night." Five times Henry gets late-night food from his insanely hot DoorDasher Alex, and one time they get food together at a normal time.
(here's my number) so call me, maybe by villageidiot
"I could go a few days without contact, you know." Henry looks over at Alex, who's splayed across the couch, and places a finger on the page he's reading to keep his place. "I'm…sorry?" "While you're gone, I mean. I could handle a few days of not talking to you." Henry still looks a little baffled. "Is this something you want to do? I'm still unclear on the 'why' here." And so is Alex, honestly. or: five times Alex fails at the whole "go a whole weekend with no contact" thing (and one time Henry does)
the beagle, the ghost and the wardrobe by stutteringpeach
Henry’s new flat comes with one unexpected feature: it’s already inhabited. But not by a human. By a ghost.
Night Class by OrchidScript
Alex how found the simplest solution for all the facts he had been presented. There were plenty of them to make sense of. Alex was taking the path of least resistance, accepting that whatever remained after all was stripped away must be the truth. June could laugh at him for the rest of time if she wanted. He was right. He knew he was right. He had to be right because nothing else on earth or in the universe made sense. Henry Fox — his smarmy, entitled, wealthy, bland, irritating neighbor — was a vampire. Alex knew it. He could prove it.
Piss-up in a brewery by clottedcreamfudge
"I hate this," Alex says, not for the first time, and Henry covers his face with his hands. "Yes," he says, a little muffled, "that's coming across." "It's not, like, personal," Alex clarifies, even though it fucking is. "I just don't really like sleeping with other people. I mean, sleeping in beds with other people. I like having sex-" "Yes, alright," Henry says peevishly, not moving his hands at all. "You needn't extol further on your love of intercourse." "Who the fuck talks like that?"
Sleepless Nights by stripyjumpers
Henry's insomnia has been getting worse. He thinks it's fine, until it all finally catches up to him.
move fast (and keep quiet) by HypnosTherapy
Henry’s smile goes slightly strained at the edges. In his ear, Nora hisses at Alex to walk away. He firmly ignores her. “What brings you here tonight, Foxy?” Henry brushes Alex’s hand off him. “The same thing that brings us all here,” he answers. “Not only a girl’s best friend, after all.” -- Alex is a spy tasked with securing a case of diamonds being auctioned off by black market smugglers. Henry is a rival spy who happens to be tasked with receiving the same case of stones. When Henry wins the auction, Alex has to retrieve his target, no matter the cost.
Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured by myheartalive
“Fox,” he hisses through his teeth. “How about you take the tube tonight? Or go for a nice long walk?” Henry’s stunned. “Excuse me?” “Yep, I will excuse you. Now do us both a favour and find another way to get home.” — OR enemy co-workers Henry and Alex get unwillingly shoved into a cab together (and finally sort their issues out)
the best intentions by smc_27
He sees the flyer when he’s in town picking up the fabric and books June wanted from the market. Once a year. On the prince’s birthday. The chance for his one true love to rescue him from the tower. A cash prize to go along with the prince’s hand in marriage. The title of Prince Consort and a palace of their own. Alex knows himself. He knows how people are with him. He’s made people fall in love with him without even trying for it. He’s had to break hearts since he was 15 and Charlotte Marks told her father she was going to marry Alex. He can get some cloistered prince on board.
A Life, in Names by th0ughts
Macsomething continues to flounder. “I arrived just as someone came out, you see. A woman, with the hot pink jacket? I told her that I’m Roy Maclanahan—” (bingo. Henry knew it was Maclanahan.) “—here for Mr. Claremont-Diaz, I work with him you see. He invited me over, to look through some documents? And she told me that I was in luck, that he was home.  “Either way I am so sorry to have disturbed you your hi—Henry. She must’ve been mistaken. I’ll take my leave and return when your husband’s arrived.” Maclanahan is wringing his hands and looks just about a second away from nervously combusting but the entire ordeal has Henry’s face blooming in a smile.  _____ Musings of a life, in four surnames.
In my dreams (In your dreams) by lizzie_bennetdarcy
He opens his mouth to tell Alex it's fine, they can stay, when Alex shakes his head. "The room is spinning. That's not fun. Alright, sweetheart, let's go home." He jumps up from the stool, and immediately lists sideways into Henry. "What will it take to get you to carry me home?" "More than you're prepared to give, I'm afraid." Kiss me, marry me, have my children, please. Alex is very drunk, and very affectionate, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for Henry to pretend like he isn't completely in love with him.
when he breaks so beautifully by viciouslyqueer
Henry thinks it’s just been a rough day – it certainly wouldn’t be the first time – but he only realizes just how wrong he is when his boyfriend actually gets home. Slumped shoulders. Twitching fingers. Red-rimmed eyes glistening with tears. Henry’s heart breaks on sight. — Alex has a rough day at work and asks Henry to be mean to him. Henry praises him instead.
Twenty Seven Batters by politics_and_prose
A ballplayer will refuse to stop playing because they want one more hit, steal, strikeout. One more homerun. One more win. So they get old and they lose their skill and embarrass themselves long after they should have hung up their spikes. If that’s the rule, then Alexander Claremont-Diaz is the exception. Because today, at age 38, Alexander Claremont-Diaz is six outs away from a perfect game.
forever yrs, for evermore by indomitablelove
‘Wake up,’ Henry whispers. Alex turns and squints his eyes open. He looks at the clock. ‘Baby, why the fuck are you waking me up at six am? I’m on vacation.’ ‘I’ve got a surprise, come outside. You can go back to bed after, I promise,’ Henry tells him with a smile. ‘I’ve made you coffee.’ Alex sits up with a squint and a stern, unimpressed look on his face. ‘You better have a fucking good reason for getting me up at sunrise.’ --- or, a lake house proposal fic
Aged Like a Fine Wine by allmylovesatonce
At a gala for the Okonjo Foundation, Senator Alex Claremont-Diaz runs into Prince Henry of Wales for the first time in two years. Something is different about him, and it's not just the revelations that came out the last time the two saw each other. When they're encouraged to spend more time together, it lights a spark that could send both of their lives into a tailspin. Will Alex resist the temptation or will he find the courage to pursue what he's wanted far longer than he's let himself acknowledge?
All our Sweetest Hours Fly Fastest by AHistoricDistraction
It has been three years since they were outted and Henry and Alex have finally settled into a groove that works well for them, except for the fact that it feels like they're always having to steal time together. Queen Mary constantly coming up with excuses to get Henry out of public events with Alex isn't helping, and Alex is done with it. After a long conference in Tokyo that Henry couldn't attend, Alex's flight home being delayed is the last straw and he calls Henry to say they need to figure out a better way to do this, to which Henry agrees. But fate has other ideas. Alex's flight goes missing somewhere over the Pacific, no trace of it to be found, leaving Henry and Alex's family struggling to not lose hope while unable to do anything.
as always, let me know if you want to be tagged, either for author purposes or just to know when these go up! see you next tuesday!

Do the Mafia Members have their own rooms? What do they look like?
They do have their own rooms! However I cannot speak on behalf of everyone as that’s up to them to decide and choose. I will gladly answer for Rose though!
Rose technically has two rooms, if you count her main office. But her bedroom specifically is pretty dark, dimly lit and minimalist besides a few plants as her only decor. Her room is very elegant, as she has one of those large canopy beds and bookcases and the main necessity furniture. There are a few books on her shelf that may or may not open the case to an extra room off her bedroom.. but other than that it’s rather bland. Pretty and definitely reeks of wealth, but not too much color or decor.
Now for everyone else’s rooms, you’d have to ask them! I try my best to reblog their responses here as well to add to the tag on my blog so everything’s all in one nice neat folder :)

I want fanfic authors to be aware of what works of of film and television and literature are too visceral and deep and unique to cram into hackneyed fandom tropes, but not because I want them to stop. I want them to lean into it, whole hog. I want to read a coffee shop au of House of leaves where Will Navidson and Johnny truant become soft trauma boyfriends and Karen is weirdly supportive of it from someone who knows exactly how funny that is. I want a fic of Adaptation where Charlie Kaufman is a fanfic author who’s trying to turn The Orchid Thief into a fic that doesn’t fall into cliches that slowly morphs into an m/m enemies to lovers slow burn, hurt/comfort sex pollen fic. I want someone to give the protagonist of The Telltale Heart a self insert mary sue gf who fixes him. I genuinely think this is the height of literary analysis and excellent skill building for writers. I do not share the dream of a fandom that is sufficiently reverent, I just want Duchamp’s urinal type intentional contempt.

Two ideas, and idk if i'll ever do something with them:
peter nureyev hanahaki au, there's an orchid growing out of him and juno doesn't know that's what he's been smelling this whole time (not cologne) until he sleeps with him the first time, and he doesn't know the true story behind the orchids until he gets the diary about slip

Of all the skeletons who own shop's/businesses, which ones have been broken into previously and what happened?
Ooo. Good question!
Mal: Of course mal has had his store broken into. The first time nearly put him out of business. If cash hadn’t found and beat the snot out of the thief, mal would’ve been screwed. The second time, his insurance covered the losses. He didn’t have it the first time. Mal now can afford better security but no ones tried it yet.
Orion: once a random lizfolk broke into his tattoo parlor for his cash. They left apologizing with their hand over Orion’s shoulders. Orion had just poured them a drink instead and said he’d give them the money if they told him who did the wicked tat of the tiger lily on their neck. Oh and he tattled to his dad as soon as they left, and his former guard father had the fool arrested the same night.
Peaches: nobody tries to break into his orchid. It doesn’t matter when or where, SonOfA the rooster is always watching.
Wine: if anyone breaks into his antique shop, they clearly don’t know who he is. It has happened once. Wine just watched with an amused smile. Once the thief was outside, he locked his doors and pleasantly told them their social security number, address and steam account ID. Coffee had looked them up while they were inside. Everything was returned the next day.

the orchid aroma (nanowrimo 2023 project)
title: the orchid aroma
genre: crime
themes: found family; self discovery; acceptance; trust; lgbt & polyam relationships
synopsis:
Augustus Clove is a world-renowned thief. He is the best of the best; he's stolen countless things across the globe, other thieves look up to him, and no one has ever been able to catch him. Only one person has come close, and that's insurance investigator Grant Albright, who has been chasing him for several years. Unexpected circumstances cause their game of cat-and-mouse to end when they have to put their differences aside and work together to steal a famous necklace (with the help of Grant's wife Celia and Augustus' criminal friends). They will need to learn how to trust one another and navigate through confusing feelings in order to pull off this heist.
main characters:
augustus clove is a world-renowned thief, grifter, & mastermind. he is the most charming person you will ever meet (& the most handsome), which he constantly uses to his advantage. he enjoys the finer things in life & likes to live expensively, but he also knows how to stay simple when necessary. it may seem like he has a lot of friends but colleagues might be a better descriptor; as a criminal, most of the people in his life can never stay for long so he is very loyal to those he allows to get close to him, scarce as they might be
grant albright is the insurance investigator who has been chasing augustus for the past few years & is celia's husband. he is the only person who has ever been a match for augustus & he knows him better than anyone. he is a little chaotic, a little intense, & a little repressed, but celia & augustus help to bring out the best in him. also he really loves his wife
celia albright is grant's wife who gets thrown into this world entirely by accident but honestly she isn't mad about it, as she finds she's very well-suited for this kind of life (even more than grant, much to his dismay). she's basically up for anything & enjoys trying new things, even when it's illegal
bennett m. acer, or ace to anyone who knows (of) them, is one of the best hackers there is. they are often underestimated because of how young they are but they are extremely skilled & fast-thinking. also they definitely have adhd
darcy wheeler is a fence who augustus frequently works with. she's a whole lot of fun, is very friendly, & might as well be made of sunshine because she can & will brighten your day
juliet de vere is a thief & has known augustus the longest. she doesn't talk about her past much but she is proud of who she is today
micah hart is a getaway driver who is kinda new to the whole 'being a serious professional criminal' thing but he is trying his very best!! also an adhd king
robin blakely is a forger & is a little intimidating before you get to know him but he's actually a big softie. it's surprisingly easy to worm your way into his heart, which is probably why he's so closed off at first
piper hayes is a thief who mostly only does what's best for her, regardless of whether it'll hurt others. working with a team & genuinely caring about them is an adjustment for her but she learns how to put them first
ellery ball is a thief who normally sticks to himself, but he owes augustus so he agrees to be a part of his team. he isn't too thrilled to be working with so many others, but especially with piper after she had double-crossed him several years ago. it takes some time, but he eventually grows to trust the team (yes, including piper)

Got tagged by @house-ofhope and @isayashai to do this little character questionnaire, thanks for thinking of me <3 Even though my latest playthrough was my dark urge run with Theron, I've been thinking more about Reela lately, so I'm answering this for her!
Tumblr media
NAME: Reela Tavir
NICKNAME: None before the events of BG3. Aside from Karlach calling her Soldier, Astarion calls her Little Hero (derogatory) to tease her for her good deeds.
GENDER: Girlthing
STAR SIGN: Pisces
PERSONALITY TYPE: INFP
HEIGHT: 5'2"
ORIENTATION: Sapphic bisexual
NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Wood half-elf. Born in Baldur's Gate to parents she never met, she grew up as a street urchin and eventually left for the wilderness to escape the bustle of the city. Depending on who asks, she might describe herself as a Baldurian, a hermit, or a member of the grove that took her in.
FAVORITE FRUIT: Raspberries
FAVORITE SEASON: Fall! Crunchy leaves galore, not too cold, change everywhere.
FAVORITE FLOWER: Orchids, wildflowers.
FAVORITE SCENT: Campfire and rain.
COFFEE, TEA, OR HOT CHOCOLATE: Coffee if it can be sweetened, hot chocolate otherwise. If you find a way to combine the two, she might look at you with loving puppy eyes.
AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: 6 interrupted hours. She has an old habit of getting up at least once or twice through the night to make sure all is well.
DOGS OR CATS: Yes :)
DREAM TRIP: Waterdeep, or getting to visit other druid groves.
NUMBER OF BLANKETS: All of them. Bundle her like a fantasy burrito. In the absence of endless blankets, at least two are needed if she sleeps alone and three if she sleeps with company (once she knocks out she's a huge blanket thief).
RANDOM FACT: Her favorite wild shape is an owlbear, but the one she spends most time as is a cat so she can eavesdrop on people’s conversations. She has to do this carefully because people keep trying to adopt her.
