okay my luvs let's do this - thanks so much for the tags @firstprincehornyramblings @tailsbeth-writes @cactusdragon517 @cha-melodius @firenati0n (super excited to check out ur words tonight)

as of today the 2nd chapter of dragon alex is complete - it keeps acquiring more illustrations and more silly lore but it's chugging along slowly (luckily the dragon is alright sharing his time so he's not the only thing getting written) so shall we have some words from dragon alex

Eventually, Cal returns to the others with a flick of his tail, satisfied with his royal introduction. Alex climbs up to sit on the top rail, legs swinging, feet thudding softly against the wood. “So …” he says casually, eyes jovial, “gonna tell me which window you escaped through?” Henry’s lips curl into a smirk. “And have you bar it up? No way.” Alex chuckles. “I’ll figure it out. Bet you left something hanging—rope, sheet, enchanted scarf, whatever you used to escape.” Henry lifts a brow. “If you say so.” He has no intention of revealing his secret. No mention of the lower level, the hidden door, the unused windows with their easy latches. Some secrets are too sweet to surrender. And besides… he likes having a bit of freedom. Alex tilts his head, watching him for a beat longer. He knows Henry is hiding something more than just the name of his kingdom. But for now, he lets it be. For now.

Thank you @anincompletelist @liminalmemories21 @clottedcreamfudge @cha-melodius & @lemonlyman-dotcom for the tags♥️

Most of my words are either a secret (AWY event) or already posted (Ficlet Friday) and I’m swiftly running out of unshared words from my other WIPs BUT:

—

FirstPrince Reporter AU

He feels like he’s stuck in limbo. Not as young as he once was, but not old, either. Not lonely, but definitely alone. He’s simply floating through life, waiting for something big to happen.

STONE THE CROWS I've actually written some stuff? Thank you for the tags, @sherryvalli and @cha-melodius!

The Princess Diaries AU continues. We're at 22k words. I don't want to post any of it until all of it is done.

Pez returned and said we were shooting. I went from right to left as Alex hammed up his speech to the camera, holding weird jars full of things that I think were meant to be organs but were very clearly painted Pokemon figurines. Later, in the same scene, I went from left to right to switch on a hologram (which Pez says he’ll fix in post) that would show the hero at the gates. After we were done, three takes later (Alex making bolder and bolder choices til he was chewing the scenery so hard he’s probably going to get indigestion), Pez said we should set up for the next scene. I wasn’t in it, so I started groping at the back of my own head to get the mask off. “Woah, woah - I’ve got it,” Alex said, and I felt his deft fingers first slide the surgical cap off, and then gently untangle and undo the double knots. By the time I was free, my face was on fire. “You okay, Henry?” Alex asked as I turned to thank him. He looked a little concerned, and guided me to a seat, practically bumping June off hers in his eagerness to sit me down. “Nora, can you get Henry some water?”

Tagging, errrrrr, @sophie1973, @anincompletelist, @zwiazdziarka and @suseagull5914!

wip wednesday <3 :)

hello friends :) last time i did one of these was november oops so I'm happy to get to share some words :) i have been through some SHIT the last few months, but slowly making my way back into my body. thanks for your patience! <3

here's a snip from my upcoming multichap, two years from tomorrow! it is an au of the sandra bullock x keanu reeves early 2000s romantic drama The Lake House. if you have never seen it and want to read this, DON'T GOOGLE IT JADSFJLASDF stay ignorant! if you HAVE seen it, don't worry—i have made some changes. :) my second multichap just HAD to be another sandra movie...except this time, unlike ice queen henry in the proposal au, sandra is ALEX. because everyone deserves to be sandra bullock at least once.

been a HOT MINUTE since i wrote a multichap BUT i am going to fully write before i post. i promise.

here's a split pov taken from diff points in the chapter...roommates with a twist...

january, alex:

Alex Claremont-Diaz deserves some fucking peace and quiet and rest, and this lake house is moving him one step closer to outrunning law-related burnout of epic proportions. Or at least, that’s what he hopes; he’s not quite sure yet what this house will hold for him. Year after year of relentless caseloads and emotionally draining yet fulfilling clients will do that to a person—fills them up, but at a steep personal cost. And Alex’s wellbeing is here to fucking collect. Luna was pretty clear about the whole thing: “A three month sabbatical, kid. No arguments. Better not see your ass darkening Luna & Associates’ fuckin’ doors until April.” So. Lake it is. Peace and quiet. No stress. His lease was up anyway, so he crashed at June’s and diligently searched for housing near but not in Chicago. He’s going for serene, here. Goodbye, high rises and pavement. Hello, waterfront views and enlightenment. 

january, henry:

Henry Fox-Mountchristen is bloody terrified of moving into this place, with its memories and sadness and joy attached, and this lake house is forcing him one step closer to confronting a final piece of the grief puzzle he’s been avoiding for years.   Or at least, that’s what he’s afraid of; he’s not quite sure yet what this house will hold for him.  The past was full of laughter echoing in the halls, late night sketching at the threadbare dinner table, secrets and fears whispered into the nooks and crannies. The present, however, is full of running. From his fears, from his demons, from laughter and sketching and secrets.  But Henry’s tired. Year after year of agonizing pain and subsequent expensive therapy will do that to a person—drains them, builds them up, then drains them again. Rinse and repeat, hope eternally on the horizon, fears loitering on his doorstep. And those aforementioned demons have finally caught up and are knocking rather insistently. 

xoxo roop

+ open tag and tagging back folks who got me over the last few months! thank you so much <3

Several Many Sentence Sunday

I am in the depths of reading so many fantastic stories, writing my own fics and even continuing to draft my own original story.

“Darling, please calm down.” Henry says, exasperated. Oh fuck. Shit fuck. Alex stops pacing suddenly and looks at Henry. The hurt on his face would be imperceptible to anyone else. It’s like a neon sign to Henry.  “I’m sorry, love.” Henry tries the pet name but it doesn’t soothe the mistake. “No.” Alex gives him a hard stare. “I get it.” Alex walks into his office and closes the door. Henry should give him a few minutes to breathe and decide how mad he feels. Alex needs time to listen to his body and mind. He’ll give him his time and then apologize profusely. But today Henry chooses exactly the wrong way to comfort his partner when he’s hurt him. He doesn’t know why. Instead, he audibly scoffs at the closing door and scrolls his phone. 

They have to fight to make up!

Open, No Pressure tags!

Thank you @porcelainmortal @anincompletelist @cha-melodius (I wanna do the other word challenge too) @tailsbeth-writes @suseagull5914 @sophie1973 & @onthewaytosomewhere for the tags ♥️

Finding words is alarmingly slowly lately but:

FirstPrince Reporter AU

“Why did you decide to start the Okonjo Foundation?”

“You know he doesn’t have many friends,” Percy says and Alex frowns.

“Who are you talking about?”

Percy lifts his eyes to the doorway. “I believe he doesn’t think that he deserves them since he can’t be one hundred percent honest with people about who he is, which is utter bullshit. He doesn’t owe anyone anything.”

“Agreed.”

—

WolfNichols Grief Fic

“He had a heart attack. It was sudden.”

Carol frowns. “Wasn’t he a cardiologist?”

“I understand the irony,” Josh tells her. “It would be like if I died of an aneurysm.”

Wolf shoots Carol another desperate look.

Sunday Sentences

Thank you so much to everyone who has kept tagging me despite my drought - you keep me going, @onthewaytosomewhere @run-for-chamo-miles @porcelainmortal @sophie1973 @novemberhush

@dizzymisslizzie and @dezinthecloud!

I've been working on this for a while but I just got to the beginning of it (that'll make sense one day). So now I am thrilled to share something from the first chapter!

“From this moment forward, it’s a whole new ball game,” warned Okonjo. For he knew there was no turning back. That nothing would ever be the same again." Henry closed the book, smiling out at the applauding audience. Even on his fourth book, it still amazed him to see people dressed up as his characters, hanging on every word he'd written. The moderator, whose name Henry had already forgotten, finished his own applause to raise the microphone to his lips. "Henry James, ladies and gentlemen. What a wonderful reading, Henry!" "Thank you," Henry said with a smile. "Okay," the moderator said, "let’s take some questions."

it's past midnight, and I'm totally out of practice, so please take this open tag, and tag me if you use it!

sophie!! alright just a bit later than normal for me lolz but here ya go

Henry is sprawled beneath Alex, hair streaked with mud, expression caught somewhere between exasperation and amusement. The rain, which was a drizzle, is now falling in buckets, and both of them are soaked through. Now, also covered in mud, and Alex can’t stop laughing. Henry swore they would be fine. It’s just a little rain, after all, no reason not to take a walk and let him show Alex all the things he has always loved about this place. Yeah. Now here they are, looking like they lost a battle with, well, everything, after having landed in the mud as they slid down the rain-soaked hill. “I am never letting you forget this.” The words tumble from Alex’s mouth along with the laughs that don’t seem to slow. Henry groans and wipes a hand down his cheek, only succeeding in smearing even more mud across his face. “I can’t help that you do not know how to avoid the soft spots on a hill and sent us both down it.” Alex props himself up on one elbow and looks at Henry with mock disbelief. “If someone had warned me I was going to be walking through a series of rain-induced landmines, I would have known to do so.” Alex can’t stop laughing as he looks up at Amy and Henry’s PPO standing at the top of the hill, looking down at them and shaking their heads. Amy hollers down, “Are you idiots okay?” Alex and Henry exchange a look, and both raise their hands in a thumbs-up, laughing again as Alex slips and tries to maneuver himself upright, only to topple back onto Henry. Henry grunts as Alex lands half on his chest and half sprawled between his legs. Alex blinks down at him, suddenly very aware of their position. He watches as Henry blushes and can’t help but think how much he loves this man. Henry’s lips part as if to say something, but Alex beat him to the punch. “If you wanted me on top of you, all you had to do was ask, baby.” He grins as he pushes himself back up to his hands. Henry huffs beneath him and rolls his eyes. “Just get off me before Amy takes any more pics for blackmail purposes, than I’m sure she already has. Alex shifts and rolls to the side of him, with an assist from Henry. Henry rolls to his side and pushes himself back up with a ridiculous and effortless grace that Alex can’t help but admire. Well, admire and want to see in a less muddy setting. Preferably naked, if he’s honest. Together, they get Alex to his feet and slowly trudge back up the small hill. Alex is holding onto Henry for dear life as they make their way up the hill slowly. But he can’t complain with the way Henry’s thighs and ass fills his line of sight. It does, however, make Alex wish this could go quicker so he can get them out of their muddy clothes and into a shower where he can have Henry to himself. When they get back to the house, Alex’s patience is wearing thin. As soon as they’re inside and away from their security, he peels his jacket off and is itching to strip Henry of his rain-soaked and mud-covered clothing. Henry smirks at him, and Alex wants to kiss it off his lips. “Eager, are we?” Alex grins and steps in impossibly close, “Oh, you have no idea, baby.” Henry laughs but follows willingly when Alex tugs him toward the closest bathroom with a shower. The warm water of the shower is a welcome relief after they get rid of ruined clothes. Alex watches as water streams across Henry’s skin, taking with it any muck that remains. This is so much better. When together, they have each other clean and warmer, Alex drops to his knees, intent on messing Henry up in a way that is so much more fun.
