I AM ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS 😭 THE DETAILS IN THIS—OH MY GOD THE LOOK ON ARTHUR’S FACE, THE SPLASH OF BLOOD, HIS HANDS OVER HIS HEART I’M SOBBING 😭😭😭 @gramnel YOU ABSOLUTE GENIUS THANK YOU 😭🤍
Traffic Light Tag Game!
Thanks to my favourite people @caterpills and @firenati0n for the tag 💗 it’s been ages since I took part in any games on here so let’s go!!!
rules: talk about something creative you're working on of any kind. 🚦green: what is it about, what excited you about it, what sparked the idea? 🚦orange: slow down and share something from it: a photo, a few words, some more background info etc. 🚦red: what is the roadblock currently? what is one thing that is a necessary evil in making it?
GREEN: Okaaay I’m currently working on a fake dating fic that is loosely based on a show I watched during Ramadan and some sad, personal experiences (💀). It features Alex and Henry as door to door neighbours who barely know each other, and one day, Alex finds himself in a situation that has him urgently asking Henry to marry him 🌚 I really like the spontaneity of it, and I wanted to entertain the idea of what Henry’s reaction would be given that both of them are basically strangers to one another. There’s another subtle theme in there that I want to discuss but that’s a story for another day bc it’s gonna sound too sad 😭
ORANGE: I’m still in ‘building the exposition phase’ of the fic—which is the hardest part for me—so I don’t have much to share except for the scene that started it all honestly and I think it’s iconic 🤭 (one thing about me is I’ll always associate random quotes on pinterest with my fics and here we are)
RED: life. basically. The field I work in requires tons of creativity and creation, so by the time I sit to write, my mind is just blank, even though this story is fully figured out from start to finish btw. I’m also not in the best mental state nowadays, so that also plays a huge factor in writing it 🥲
Thank you if you’ve made it this far, sometimes it feels like I’m talking into the void 😭

WIP Wednesday ❤️🤍💙
Thank you @anincompletelist for the tag! 🥰 feels so good to finally be working on something that I can actually share snippets from 😭
This is a mini scene from the upcoming chapter of Winds of Fate!
Alex’s hand catches the posy first before it lands in Henry’s hand, and to be frank, he has no clue how he just did that. Neither does Henry, judging by the low gasp the prince took at Alex’s sudden presence.
The poor flower guy looks startled as well, standing awkwardly with his hand extended mid-air.
“I’m sorry,” he says robotically. “I’m afraid the prince can’t accept your gift. See, His Royal Highness is allergic.”
The attendee’s face ashens, and he starts blabbering apologies as Alex finds the nearest trash bin and dumps the flowers in it. Somehow, he catches sight of Henry’s face looking guilty before it’s charged with something else that Alex did not see coming. Rage.
AAAAAAAA I CAN’T WAIT FOR Y’ALL TO READ THIS STORY SJSKDJSH

Thinking about Alex coming home from work to find Henry sitting on the floor crisscrossed in front of the bathroom’s ajar door, but before he asks anything, Henry motions for him to keep quiet then wait.
“How are you doing my love?” Henry asks.
“Not yet,” a small voice echoes back in response.
“It’s okay, take your time. You can do this, I’m right here if you need anything, alright?” Henry says gently, then Alex realises what they’re doing.
They’ve been potty training their little boy for a while.
Henry is keeping him company to ease out his nerves, but not so much as hovering over him to make him even more uncomfortable, hence the through-the-door communication.
“Heard someone’s been good and trying the potty again today!” Alex announces cheerfully.
He leans down to peck Henry’s lips and takes a seat next to him, fully dressed in his suit and all. Henry thinks he looks adorable.
“Papi?!” Their son exclaims in joy, and the tone curls around Henry’s heart like a warm blanket. “Can I come out to see you?”
“Darl—” Henry starts, but Alex places a hand on his thigh, silently asking him to wait.
“How about I open the door, sweetheart? Will that feel better?” Alex asks carefully.
A beat of silence passes, then a yes urges Alex to do so.
“How’s my little champion?” Alex props a hand on his cheek.
“I didn’t poop yet.” The little boy pouts.
“Hey, that’s okay,” Alex says with all the gentleness in the world Henry’s heart flips in his chest. “Don’t force yourself okay? If you feel anything, just let it out.” He nods.
They stay like that for a while, engaging him in little dialogue and making jokes when his eyes suddenly widen, and he lets out the most adorable little gasp.
“Honey? Did you—”
“I pooped!” The little boy raises his arms in victory, a grin overtaking his round face.
Alex and Henry fall into a rhythm of cheering out loud and clapping while their little boy laughs mirthfully.
“You’re a big boy now, you know that, right?” Alex smiles, and the boy nods eagerly.
“Does that mean I can eat all the candy I want?” He asks, and Alex gets up to do the cleaning this time, shooting Henry a ‘I got this’ look.
Henry smiles in contentment, his heart expanding in his chest.
“Hmm, we’ll have to ask daddy about that.”
Winds of Fate, new fic alert 🙂↕️❤️🔥
or the fic where henry is the prince of wales and alex is his head of security team (who also happens to be an old “acquaintance” of the prince’s 🤫)

Y’ALL NEED TO GO READ THIS
In celebration of Henry’s birthday, here’s 23k of him and Alex living a full, joyful life going from childhood friends to lovers ♥️
Henry has never torn open a package faster. When he opens it, a wide smile adorns his face as if he were eight years old again. There, in its newest glory, a new friendship bracelet waiting to hook itself around Henry's wrist. It looks a bit more boyish than the ones Alex used to make him, screaming "I'm the coolest 17 years old". Henry shakes his head with a smile as he picks up the royal blue bracelet and looks closely at it. It's minimal, but Henry's stomach flips when he spots the three middle beads.
Instead of having just Alex's initials as usual, there are two white beads on either side of it carrying the shape of a star. Orion . He can't believe Alex remembers. Next to the bracelet, there's another brown wrapped package. Henry curiously opens it and lets out a short laugh at what's inside. As if on cue, his phone dings again.
Alex ❤️
happy birthday sweetheart
Henry smiles down at the old copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
