9:26pm, the brownstone

Alex’s brain falls out of his head when Henry comes downstairs. He apparently took Pez’s dress code seriously for once; he’s dressed to fucking impress. (Alex is so far past impressed he’s having heart palpitations.) Henry looks good in everything, from a full suit to sweatpants, but when he lets himself relax, lets himself lean into being one hundred percent himself, he ascends to a whole other level.

His white shorts are going to be the death of Alex. They’re short, showing off strong calves and stacked, polo-playing thighs, and just this side of respectably opaque. But if there’s a strong enough backlight, anyone who isn’t intimately familiar with Henry’s particular topography, will be. The shorts would be enough to cause Alex a factory reset, but then he notices the shirt. It’s halfway unbuttoned, straining to accommodate Henry’s wide shoulders, and short enough in the torso that he’s baring midriff. And it’s one of Alex’s shirts. The novelty ice cream cone print has never looked so fucking good. 

Alex can see the tops of Henry’s hipbones—they’re mouth-wateringly obscene. Henry shouldn’t be allowed out of the house like this; he’s a danger to everyone around him. Drivers will run their cars off the road, pedestrians will walk into poles, et fucking cetera. Really, Alex has a fucking duty toward public safety to tackle Henry onto their couch and take him apart with his teeth. 

So he does.

Henry makes a noise somewhere between a squawk and a whimper and Alex wants to lick it out of his mouth. He captures Henry’s lips in a kiss as they land, barely letting him breathe, let alone put up a token protest because he feels like they should be social. Henry groans and melts into the cushions, letting Alex do whatever he wants. The trust Henry puts in him is heady, and Alex spirals that much higher when Henry throws his arms around Alex’s neck to keep him in place. His own hands are busy mapping every bit of exposed skin on Henry’s chest, slipping beneath Alex’s own fucking shirt to reach the scant inches that are still hidden below fabric. Alex takes advantage of Henry’s gasp of pleasure when Alex scratches lightly at his bicep to slip his tongue inside Henry’s mouth.

Both of them are already breathing hard, the sound of spit and panting filling the air. Alex manages to stop kissing Henry’s mouth, but only to nip down his throat, pausing at the pulse point to bite down. Henry always complains about having to be careful of covering the marks Alex leaves, but he never actually asks Alex to stop. (They were thirty minutes late to meet Nora for brunch last month when Alex caught Henry pressing down on a hickey in the bathroom and Alex had to bend him over the sink about it.) Henry’s moan at the graze of Alex’s teeth against his neck is a siren song; the way he tips his head to the side to give Alex more room, a gift from the gods. 

Henry pushes at his head, directing Alex with a pleading whine. Alex is only too happy to oblige, nipping and licking and sucking down Henry’s sternum, fingers fumbling to open the shirt. He spends a few minutes teasing Henry, alternating kisses with quick bites across his soft belly. Alex noses along his waistband, inhaling the scent of sweat and something uniquely Henry. Alex’s hands tighten on Henry’s thighs involuntarily when Henry’s fingers find a home in his hair and pull tight. Alex can’t wait another minute to get Henry’s cock in his mouth.

Alex liberates his curls from Henry’s hands and rearranges them so that Henry is sort of upright and Alex kneels on the floor between his legs. Alex means to dive in at once, but he has to take a second to fully absorb the fucking daydream of a man in front of him. Henry’s eyes have darkened, pupils blown wide and clouded with arousal. He’s sagging into the couch, relying on the furniture to keep him sitting up, seemingly unable to count on his muscles to do the job. Henry’s flushed from his cheeks to his hips, his hairline starting to darken with sweat. Alex’s gaze keeps snagging on the hickey he left—one fine day he’ll give into the desire to leave a whole goddamn collar of them.

Henry shifts, drawing Alex’s attention to his erection, straining against the white fabric of his shorts. Alex can’t help but to give him a firm stroke to his bulge, delighting in the strangled gasp it pulls from Henry. He can feel Henry twitch beneath his palm, can feel Henry’s racing pulse through the fabric, and then he’s moving—undoing Henry’s fly and pulling down his shorts and briefs in one fell swoop.

Henry actually shouts when Alex takes him to the root in one long smooth motion—he’s never been more glad for his lack of gag reflex. He stays there for a moment, breathing through his nose, the tip of Henry’s cock right at the back of his mouth. He looks up at Henry through his eyelashes. Henry’s practically shaking with the effort of holding himself still. How unnecessarily gentlemanly. Alex pries Henry’s hands out of the couch cushion and back into his hair before moving his own hands to Henry’s hips. He blinks twice, their nonverbal green signal, just to really drive the point home. With a mumbled curse, Henry starts thrusting and Alex closes his eyes, groaning every time Henry’s cock dips into his throat.

Alex’s jaw aches from the stretch, and his own cock is leaking and pressing uncomfortably against his zipper, but he couldn’t care less. He’s got Henry filling his mouth, surrounded by his hands and thighs and noises and taste—

They’re definitely going to be late to Pez’s party, if they even make it out of the house. Alex couldn’t give less of a fuck if they don’t; there’ll be other parties.

[kiwiana-writes]

Hello!!

“Hey, have you seen the…? Oh.”  + First Prince?

"Hey, have you seen the…? Oh."

Alex blinks awake slowly, not entirely sure he remembers being on the couch, let alone falling asleep on it. He tilts back his head to see Henry standing over him, looking annoyingly tall from this position, a fond smile on his face even though there's also a worried pinch between his eyebrows.

"I didn't mean to wake you, love." He bends a little, running his hands through Alex's curls. "It's just… you seem to have the cheese grater."

Alex stares down at his hands. "Um."

"Finals are doing a number on you, aren't they?"

I turned the fluff dial and the smut dial all the way up until they broke off the machine. Welcome back to the Virtue series! No context necessary.

This one is dedicated to @stratocumulusperlucidus, for all of her kind words.

...

"On A Technicality"

Red, White, & Royal Blue. Alex / Henry.

2.6K words. Rated Explicit.

It’s Henry’s experience that enables him to sense the tipping point: the precise moment when this could shift from a chaste meeting, a hello, I missed you–yes, me too, to a frenzied tryst in a Vanderbilt Hall closet. He can see it. He can practically taste it–can practically taste Alex. After all, it wouldn't be the first time.

Alex seems surprised. “Are you calling me predictable?"

Fic recs: 2 and 12? 🌷

hi hi hi!!! i am, once again, refusing to follow the single rec rule because i've read too much fic in too many fandoms.

2. A fic you’ve re-read several times

the most immediate one that comes to mind is No I in Team by leupagus and sutlers (mcdanno) because that shit makes me laugh out loud every time.

i haven't reeeeeeeally reread anything for rwrb because i was so busy just trying to keep up to make rec lists, but i know i've reread The Duke Who Loved Me by annesbonny, Inareskai, and schmulte at least twice.

and for 911 it's definitely Hector the Wonder Cat by Phreakycat (buddie) because, again, it made me laugh out loud.

12. A fic you couldn't stop reading once you started

that's so hard because i've bookmarked over 6k fics, so i'll go across multiple fandoms for this one.

the punisher (kastle) has to be in death's dream kingdom by therestlessbrook. stuck with me for weeks after i finished.

for rwrb i'm gonna have to rec my wordsmith friend @alasse9 because here is a map (with your name for a capital) just drew me in from the beginning. she knows how it made me feel lol. (and also for 911 i'll shamelessly pimp her "bobby is buck's dad" fic because it's also delicious.)

ho'okane by Siria (mcdanno) because I love a good marriage of convenience fic.

for destiel, I pac-man'd my way through the put your money where your mouth is 'verse by kototyph because it's delightfully odd and sweet.

there's also so so so many teen wolf/sterek fics in there but for the life of me I cannot come up with one off the top of my head outside of Tiny Houses by ohmyjetsabel, but that one's definitely a heed the warnings fic.

fic rec ask meme!

[firenati0n]

Hi Roop!! For the sweet and pure ask game: 🍃 + 🎶

hi calou :) :) thank you!!!

🍃- would you rather live in a sea with mermaids or a forest with fairies?

sea with mermaids for sure omg lemme see what is DOWN THERE (or maybe not fjalksjfldasf) also i am def built more for water vs forests. i do not do well with BUGS

🎶- favorite song right now?

i am such a mood listener and i get trapped in spirals with the same songs fr so do NOT judge me when i say that my top songs rn on spotify are In My Place by Coldplay, Boston by Augustana, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For by U2, Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, and Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. probs bc these are all on my proposal au fic playlist and I've been listening to it on repeat while finishing writing LOL

xoxo roop

[ some sweet asks! :) ]

[faketrex]

I'm absolutely tickled that Ghost Henry is on your rec list! Thank you, Calou, this made my day! 💖

Looking forward to checking out these other WIPs, too!

Fic recs but they're all wips

I'm currently reading some really good First Prince fanfictions that are in the process of being published (some are already written, some are not), and it's been really fun having to wait for the next chapter and getting notifications so I thought I'd share.

Looping Day by TuppingLiberty

Chapters: 3/?

When Alex wakes up at the Melbourne Climate Conference after meeting Prince Henry, and it's actually not the next day, he realizes he's looping time.

Common Misconceptions of Ghosting by @faketrex

Chapters: 4/7

It takes Alex several years in the residence before he meets a White House ghost.

It takes him a good while longer yet to actually realize it once he has.

(Or, five times Henry haunts Alex, and one time he doesn't.)

NOTE: This story is complete, updates will be posted Tuesdays and Fridays.

False Dichotomy by chamel /@cha-melodius

Chapters: 2/12

One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.

Alex very narrowly does not break something.

(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?

Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU. Completely written, updating Tuesdays and Fridays.)

Sweet Like Cinnamon by KarsKars

Chapters: 3/?

Soulmate Vampire AU where soulmates share senses. Alex and Henry share the sense of taste - which poses a problem when your soulmate is an actual vampire.

Hair Twined With Flowers by Thee_Maxwell / @gay-flyboys

Chapters: 3/5

Most people get used to the feeling of their soulmate flowers appearing—it’s never something that’s too intense. They show up with just a slight pain so you didn’t accidentally look down one day and find your shin had been entirely covered in a bright red bouquet of whatever flower the cosmos decided to permanently etch onto your skin.

Alex has long since made peace with his flower being a fucking type of mint. Technically. His skin is decorated in several places with long strands of lavender. They’ve all faded now, a ghost along his skin, barely visible if you weren’t looking, though they never fully go away.

Sunday Sentences - intro to Dragon Alex

okay kiddies so we're bringing dragon alex out to the world - even though he's got lots of writing left to happen - it's gonna be a crazy, possibly crack-y in spots, smutty, and also sweet fairytale

so far it's been lots of plotting and off the wall conversations and an outline is almost done and i've got a chunk of illustrations in progress cuz what fairytale is complete without illustrations) but we'll be getting to more writing soon so i guess we're bringing him out here so i can ramble at all of you about him too lolz

so have some bits of some of those illustrations and some words form what is written

In a far away kingdom, there lives a dragon named Alex, he is the most beautiful bronze dragon in all the land. Which is saying something when he lives in a land where emerald forests abound and the rivers glitter like molten silver, and the dragons are all just as beautiful. Alex’s scales are a thing he is especially proud of; they gleam as if freshly polished always, and ripple as they catch the sunlight when he soars through the sky. He’s admired by all for his beauty, even the humans of the surrounding kingdoms, but only from afar, up close is a different story.  To Alex’s dismay, so few people ever see past the scary dragon that they think he is. He hears the whispers and sees eyes darting to the mountains where his lair is every time he takes his human form and visits the cities and towns. The stories he hears them tell are of terror and a beast with talons and fire, even though Alex can’t remember the last time he used his fire outside his lair. He finds it quite useful when he’s looking to forge new walls or tunnels in his mountains. He never corrects their tales, finding it easier to let them tremble at the thought of him. He’s often heard the only safe dragon might just be a feared one, so at least our dragon has that going for him. Until, one day, when he’s out gliding over his favorite meadow, the dragon stumbles upon a prince with flaxen hair and the most beautiful features. He stands amongst the wildflowers, and though they usually are the most beautiful thing Alex has seen, today they have competition. Alex can tell the man is a prince, by his fine tunic and the kind of features that are so finely sculpted, as if by an artist, that they can only come from royal blood.

Fanfic Ask Game:🏅🧠

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

Finishing A Practical Arrangement. A thousand percent. That fic fought me every goddamn step of the way for reasons I still don’t understand lmao but I’m fucking stoked with the way it turned out.

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

So the thing about my adhd ass is the second I have an idea a doc gets created for it or I WILL forget no matter how much thought I’ve put into what it will be. The one with the least substance (and no words) is a doc just called [firespinning] for which I have no plot, no thoughts, only @firenati0n wanting to add to the MJ Hobby Lore via the fic I write 😂😂

[bigassbowlingballhead]

I'm not fucked out Nick anon but I've had this in my notes for a couple days because I'm slightly obsessed:

Redacted fucking Taylor on all fours, while Nick is getting fucked on his back and sucking Taylor's dick, and they're all praising him for being such a good cockslut. Redacted's movements are shoving Taylor's cock down Nick's throat and making him choke a little but it's nothing he can't handle (and he actually really enjoys being made to take it). When it gets to be a little too much for Taylor, he's reminded he's not allowed to come before redacted does and all he can do is whine and bite his lip and hold on a bit tighter to Nick's hand (of course they're holding hands while getting railed, @basil-bird you're a genius).

They have Nick clean everything up when they're done: redactette and redacted take turn scooping his own come and Taylor's and feeding it to him, making him lick their fingers clean, and then he gets to lick redacted's come leaking down Taylor's thick hairy juicy thighs.

(The note on my phone is entitled "redactaynick" because I think they need a ship name. It's not perfect because it's unclear whether it's just redacted or if redactette is part of it, so I hope someone comes up with a better name. "Redactaynickette" feels too long and weird lmao but idk)

first off redactaynick is SO FUCKING GOOD. and it works for all four of them too second, i love this

SURPRISE SUNDAY SENTENCES! CHAPTER 1 OF AGE GAP AU IS HERE!

how far will we take it | rated E | ch 1 of 10 | Henry Fox would never sleep with a professor to get ahead. Good thing he's got his sights set on his professor's husband.

updating every Sunday!

This fic has been a long time coming! I'm still writing the last few chapters, but I figured I'd start releasing chapters weekly as I finish it (as a treat)! This has been a labor of love and I have to thank my muses Alex (@redlipstickandglitter) and Dani (@mossy-fae) for putting up with me in the groupchat throughout the whole process.

This is based on season 2 of the show Tell Me Lies, with many of the same lines used, but also many creative liberties taken. PLEASE keep an eye on the tags, as I will update them with each chapter. (Each chapter will also have its own author's note with any and all appropriate warnings).

If you HAVE seen season 2 of Tell Me Lies, I promise this fic will not have the same ending (because that really sucked).

Each chapter title is a song and starts with the lyric that sets the tone for that section. Fic title is How Far Will We Take It from Orville Peck & Noah Cyrus.

tagging for sunday sentences, but also those who have been supporting this baby for the last couple months!
