Six (+ Seven) Sentence Sunday

Finally doing one of these after a while. Thanks for the tags @adreamareads, @14carrotghoul, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, who have each tagged me at least twice for this in the past several months

Today I feed the rwrb girlies (gender neutral) with many sentences from my rwrb eras tour liam-centric fic because cutting this piece shorter felt like it wasn't doing the section justice. Kept below the cut for mention of nsfw activities just in case

"You know, I didn't see you after midnight," Alex says as he drives. "The rest of the guys wondered if you left the party." Liam shrugs. "I did. Had my fill of the action and drinks, then caught a Lyft with John to WaHo." "Thought you might want to have a little fun before we left. There are a couple of girls who have been asking about you." "Not interested." Alex scoffs. "Surely you can't be satisfied with just the two of us getting off in your bedroom together." "Which is why I also masturbate when you're not around," Liam deadpans. "C'mon, man, dream a little bigger," says Alex, checking the intersection before taking the turn. "At this rate, it sounds like you're going to die a virgin or something."

Not sure who's done this already, so if you have take this as the tag for next week @gayrootvegetable, @cha-melodius, @cricketnationrise, @historicallysam, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @orchidscript, @read-and-write-

[writes-in-space]

Been here all along, so why can't you see?

Summary: Liam is in love with his best friend. His best friend, though? He just met a girl.

Rated T | 4.2K words | technically on-page sex but like, it's really vague | also technically probably cheating but Alex is a dumbass and it's not malicious if that's possible | pining

Have a big ol' unrequited crush for Fearless day (The Brownstone Server's Eras Tour Day 2). This fandom deserves more Liam fic and I feel this very strongly. This boy is pined so hard it's amazing he never turned into a tree (shoutout to @swaps55 for that turn of phrase, that is not a Mik Original)

WIP WEDNESDAY

alright alright alright - so i'm getting this done now and using the tags i already got tonight thanks ever so much @theprinceandagcd & @priincebutt (and also for the sunday tag nico) 💚

i'm still on my southern philanthropy or liam/pez one night stand fic so that's what we're getting

Liam motions with his head toward the bar, and Percy nods; he feels Percy’s hand in his, and before he knows it, they’re in a roped-off area with its own bar. Percy leads him to a table with bottles of water and a bottle of some top-shelf whiskey with glasses on the table. Liam takes the water he’s handed and opens it, taking a swig as he watches Percy pour a couple of fingers into a glass for each of them over a couple of ice cubes. It’s interesting because he only knows two other people who drink it this exact way. Actually, he thinks it’s this exact brand; Henry’s made Alex’s taste in whiskey even more expensive than it used to be. It’s definitely not the Maker’s Mark they used to sneak in high school. The whiskey tastes smooth on his tongue, and Liam thinks about how other things might taste as well as he watches Percy’s mouth around the rim of his glass. As Percy’s tongue catches the drop of whiskey left on it when he pulls away his glass, he wonders what it might be like to follow that tongue with his own and chase the taste of the expensive whiskey into his mouth. He’s thinking about his tongue in Percy’s mouth as Percy says something he misses in his contemplation. The smirk Percy sends him alerts him to the fact that he missed something, and he pulls himself back to the moment and says, “I’m sorry, what was that?” “I was just wondering what you thought of the whiskey; from what I understand, whiskey is one of those things you southern boys drink; well, based on the accent, I’m assuming southern.” “Yeah, Texas.” “Huh, Texas boys and their whiskey, I guess,” Percy mutters under his breath and shrugs. Liam briefly wonders what he means by that but lets it slide for now. Maybe he’ll remember to ask later.

-- he won't remember to ask later lolz but he will figure out what he means

[mulderscully]

been thinking about some peoples complaints about how the movie handled alex's coming out as opposed to the book.

part of me understands because the movie did sort of neuter this as well as the depth of henry's mental illness, but at the same time i understand why. the movie is already two hours long and tbh if they wanted to do a fully faithful adaptation (which imo is not necessary) it maybe should've been a mini series.

and aside from taking out liam, tbh i still think that all happened just wasn't shown, and the fact that this is why alex has always known he's "lowkey into dudes" i feel like people don't fully grasp what alex goes through in that time after new years in the movie.

not every bisexual person has the same experience, but i can relate to alex pretty well both in the book and in the movie in terms of his sexuality cause they actually are pretty similar.

a lot of times when you're bisexual you just feel like everyone feels this way. you sort of feel like being straight is what being bisexual is, because the idea that others do not experience attraction to the same and different genders sounds... fake. like. i'm not even joking when i say i have a hard time believing straight people exist. i fully, of course, believe gay people exist, but people being straight and not queer at all makes me ??? sometimes, even now that i have identified as bi for over ten years.

then, there is a pretty big difference between knowing you experience same gender attraction from time to time and actively identifying as a bisexual person, as a queer person, a member of the lgbtq community.

bisexuals, to this day, are made to feel like we do not belong by both heterosexual people and our own community (which is why ellen telling alex the b in lgbtq is not a silent letter realllly matters) so sometimes you really do just shut out that part of yourself and choose to see yourself as straight because it's not worth fighting all the biphobia that you face, but it's still a part of you that you are shutting out and repressing, which is what alex was doing with henry the entire time and where his alleged dislike of him comes from in the first place. henry hates how much he loves alex so he's mean to him, alex doesn't understand why henry is mean to him because he wants henry to like him because he ALSO has feelings for him and those things clash.

during the time that henry ghosts him alex has time to evaluate himself, his feelings and his identity. he has the time to say "this is not something that i am going to ignore about myself anymore" and it may not be as magnified as it is for henry because they're in different positions in terms of support systems, it's still powerful.

when he comes out to henry, you can tell he is getting used to thinking of himself as bisexual but you can also tell that he is nervous to say the word, because telling someone you're bi is ALWAYS terrifying because you don't know what they might say to it. on top of that, you can feel that it is important to him to say it, to tell henry who he is now that he understands it.

being bisexual and identifying that way, and that being part of who you are and carrying it in your heart is a different thing than being like "yeah, whatever i'll make out with someone at a party" even if the latter is still a valid way to be queer. and sometimes you just look back and realize that [x] experience was NEVER straight.

and the best part of the movie to me is henry's complete acceptance of this. henry never ever questions alex's attraction to him, he never questions if alex will be able to stay committed to him, if he will leave him for a woman, if he's confused, or any of the things that STILL happen in media with bisexual characters as leads and as a bisexual person that has been one of the most freeing things to watch.

so yes, alex's bisexuality is still very important and handled as such in the film, in my personal bisexual opinion.

[lordofthemice]

Parallels of my Lady Jane to other films I have not seen anyone else point out.

1. Episode 1: Jane tells her mother Guildford is the last man she'll ever marry. // Pride and Prejudice (2005) Elizabeth tells Darcy the same sentiment during his first proposal.

2. Episode 1: Jane tells Guildford he's the rudest man she's ever met. // Red, White, and Royal Blue (2023) Alex tells Nora Henry is the rudest man he's ever met.

3. Episode 3: The assassin tells the maid he has a particular set of skills. // Taken (2008) Liam Neeson's character tells his daughter's kidnappers this line.

I'm sure there's more, but these were ones I haven't seen.

[all-0f-the-above]

storylines rwrb movie didn't include that you get if you read the book:

(ok I loved the movie the cute romcom it is is ADORABLE but if you're interested in the characters and storyline then boy do I have a treat for you!) NO BOOK SPOILERS AHEAD

- Claremont v Richards is such a well done, realistic political race oh my god it hangs over the whole book it's immaculate

- leaked emails is like a whole fuckin plot point that gets built up to

- Bea is recovering from a major health issue...

- Alex has a sister her name is June and she's a DELIGHT

- there's a whole poly-ish relationship with Nora, June, and Pez

- Liam, Alex's friend from high school

- Alex, not realizing he's bi until it's blindingly obvious to everyone else

- the fuckery that gets Alex on a plane to London after the emails were leaked

- Luna, a gay hispanic senator who is like the center of politics for 2/3 of the book

- Alex overworking himself on the campaign to try not to love Henry

- disagreements between Ellen and Oscar

- Catherine, Bea and Henry's mum

- a shit ton of nuance into Henry's feelings on the UK's queer history and Alex's finding his queer identity

- Henry goes to therapy! his dad dying is like a major part of his life and it's really beautifully handled

- Amy's life! her wife!

- Cash, another secret service agent

- really detailed morning in Paris! they're adorable what can I tell you

[tailsbeth-writes]

happy friday taylor - here's my prompt

'I think this calls for copious amounts of alcohol.'

southern philanthropy - (i was gonna give you a big sad prompt to go with this but how about something fun and flirty instead lolz)

Better late than never! Read on Ao3 here 🥂

Alex, you home?’

When Alex initially gave Liam a key for the Brownstone, he laughed hautily. What on earth would he need one for? They don't live in the same state, nevermind same city. And yet now here he was in Alex and Henry’s hallway, drenched in rain water with a hastily packed bag. As the door shuts behind him, there's a moment of quiet which makes Liam flinch. He starts to breathe again when David comes rattling across the wooden floor to give him a proper greeting.

‘Good to see you boy. Where are your dads?’

David rolls onto his back as if to answer the question, Liam sighs and stands up straight.

‘Alex? Henry?’ He calls out cautiously. The lounge is empty but he can hear noise from the kitchen, is that someone singing? Liam stays close to the wall and he creeps around the door frame. He knows this place probably has the best security in the state but he can't help the intruder alarm going off in his mind.

‘She wore a raspb- AHHHH!’

Percy screams as he spins around to see Liam appear out of nowhere. He pulls off his headphones and puts down the large bowl he'd been mixing. Liam has his hands in the air as if Percy is some timid cat he doesn't want to scare off.

‘I am so sorry dude! I had a spare key, I didn't know Alex and Henry weren't home, I shoul-’ Liam’s ramble is disrupted by Percy’s laughter, he blinks rapidly unsure of his next move.

‘My dear, you're quite alright. I just got a little shock. I'm Percy, lovely to meet you.’

Percy takes Liam's damp hand and pecks it, Liam can feel a flush filling his cheeks.

‘Liam. Old high school buddy of Alex’s.’

Percy’s eyes screw up a moment, his head nodding up and down as his eyes widen again.

‘You're that Liam, aren't you?’

Liam rolls his eyes, he isn't sure he enjoys being part of the first son's queer lore but it skips some contextual questions at least.

‘The one and only.’

‘So what might a gorgeous little thing like you be doing here?’

Liam winces, and not just because he can feel cold water seeping through his t-shirt down his back. There's arguments echoing through his mind, his eyes sting from all the crying. A hand settles on his shoulder, it's warm and Liam wants to lean into the touch.

‘I broke up with my boyfriend. Just as we were getting ready for vacation. So yeah, bit of a shit show.’

Percy pulls him into a tight hug, practically squeezing the life out of him. His chin fits neatly on Percy’s shoulder, he can smell leather and jasmine and it shouldn't work together but it does. Percy pulls away before Liam is ready for him too, he didn't know how much he needed a hug.

‘Should I call the boys? They took an impromptu weekend break, some law school chum of Alex’s let them borrow a family cabin. I'm the pooch sitter.’

Liam shakes his head. He's biting his lip as they lull into silence, cogs turning as he works out where he can go. Percy put his hands on his hips.

'I think this calls for copious amounts of alcohol. What's your poison?’

Liam’s mouth hangs open, Percy is already clinking bottles as he works through the kitchen cupboard.

‘I can just go find a hotel or something, I really should have called ahead. Kind of dumb of me to be honest.’

‘Hush! Come here.’

Liam walks around the kitchen counter as Percy takes two shot glasses out and uncorks tequila.

‘I’ll buy them another bottle, it can be our little secret til then.’ Percy winks at Liam and he almost collapses. Liam doesn't meet guys like Percy day to day, he doesn't meet them full stop. Liam takes a shot glass and Percy holds his up to toast.

‘To… new beginnings!’

WIP Wednesday

Thanks @read-and-write- for the tag!

I'm back with more Liam-centric fic today, pulling some memories from my last year of high school as inspiration

"Ugh," Alex says, wiping his mouth as he passes the bottle of Maker's to Liam. "I cannot believe we have, like, five more months of this shit left. Can't we just have prom and graduation and go?" Liam accepts it gratefully, taking a swig. "At least you know that you're in, man. The rest of us don't get to find out for another six weeks at least." Alex steals the whiskey back, knocking back a solid gulp. "Yeah, but now I have to keep my grades up so they don't rescind the offer even though I want nothing more than to senior slump until I've walked across that stage with my diploma." "And yet somehow you'll work hard as ever and be valedictorian at the end of it." Alex flashes him a sardonic smile. "You know it." Then the expression slips from his face. "Though it's not like it matters when my girlfriend's dumped me and my parents are still divorced as ever." So they've reached maudlin hours, Liam thinks as he watches Alex stare blankly at the wall in front of him. It usually doesn kick in for Alex until a party has dwindled to the last few guests or he's had whisky, but today both of those conditions are more or less met. "You're not your parents, Alex," says Liam, knowing exactly what Alex isn't saying. "Besides, that relationship was doomed from the start. You said it yourself." "How do you know me so well, Li? It's like I don't have to say anything and you just know." "I've been your best friend for years, Claremont-Diaz. It be weirder if I didn't know." "Touche," Alex says, accepting the lie with an almost painful ease. As if all best friends have each other memorized down to the smallest detail. Even Alex himself doesn't know Liam that well—if he did, Liam's feelings would be painfully obvious and impossible to overlook.

Passing this on to @celeritas2997, @gayrootvegetable, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, @historicallysam, @inexplicablymine, and anyone else who wants to do it

alex is so real for not realizing he was bi despite the amount of times he was clearly checking out and appreciating other men. it really do be like that.
