Thoughts on Thomas and Alastair reading red white and Royal blue together in modern AU.
uhm yES PLEASE
This contains spoilers for Red, White and Royal Blue. Enjoy!
Imagine them in bed right after dinner cause they're one of those couples who ditch their friends to read
Thomas coming back home with this book Matthew and Cordelia have been ranting about for the past weeks
And Alastair is weirded out by the fact that he has two copies, "Why would you buy two?"
Thomas just shrugs, "I didn't. Cordelia gave me hers, cause she told me you'd spoil anything the second you read it."
They settle in bed and Alastair waits until Thomas is ten pages in to start his, cause Cordelia wasn't wrong about him spoiling everything
Thomas is a calm reader, only crying when you're supposed to cry and reading a book without having to talk about it for the rest of your life
Alastair is the complete opposite
He frowns and screams at the books and always goes to Thomas to make him read single sentences before starting to rant about what fucked up shit the characters are doing
Thomas usually doesn't understand anything of what he says, but he also stops doing whatever he's doing, focusing all his attention on Alastair until he just storms out of the room to continue reading the book
Alastair is also a ugly crier when it comes to books
And a thrower
He once hit Thomas by mistake and it was because of a character's death. Imagine his guilt just adding to his grief and picture a very distraught Alastair while he's being coddled by his boyfriend
Alastair has laughed and chuckled way too many times in Thomas' opinion, but hasn't commented on anything yet
Until, "Oh my sweet jesus, bOY YOUR GAY IS SHOWING."
Thomas has to laugh at that and turns towards him, "What happened?"
Alastair is shaking his head in disbelief, "Alex is hating Henry with every fiber of his body one page and then he's brushing his posters the next? He's dumb."
"He reminds me of someone." he mutters
Alastair ignores him
"I'm living for Henry calling Alex out on his shit behaviour." Alastair whispers at some point, with a large smile on his face
Something hits Thomas on the leg and when he looks up he notices Alastair with his eyes and mouth wide, "The cAKE!"
"Homoerotic frat bro mishap - gotta love this woman."
"Tom," he calls him, "have you ever hate-read my wikipedia page?"
"You don't have a wik-"
"But, honestly, who does he think he's fooling? This boy is dumb dumb." He laughs, "Mad stupid."
From time to time Thomas just hears "Stan Zahra." or "Stan Ellen." and he just smiles
At some point Alastair just screams-laughs and goes "I'm going to thROW UP ON YOU, I'M DYING." before falling silent again without any trace of amusement seconds later
Thomas is startled when Alastair screech, "BABYY!"
"What?"
"ALEX IS SAYING HENRY'S SKIN IS SOFT."
Thomas is enjoying the book just as much, but he can't wait for the moment when they both realise they like each other, so he just keeps reading
"Alex was fAST starting to see Henry as a human being and not some kind of monster."
"Oh my god, why is Alex being such a dickhead-"
After a few minutes of silence, Alastair gasps, bringing his book higher and buring his face between the pages before screeching again.
"WHAT'S GOING OOON?"
Thomas snorts with wide eyes
"HE'S CHECKING FOR HENRY'S TEXTS!!!"
After a while, Alastair turns to Thomas, brushing his arm, "Are you liking it?"
He nods, "I like the fact that Henry uses capitals at the beginning of his texts while Alex doesn't, it's the little things."
During The Turkey Scene™️ Alastair just loses it and Thomas has to stop reading to calm him down
"Oh god Tom fucking finally-" he turns to Thomas, "Henry looks fucking rested for once."
Thomas nods again, "And Alex noticed."
That makes a wide grin spread over Alastair's face
Thomas understands he's reached the New Year's Eve when all he can hear from Alastair are gasps and curses
"NO. NONONO. NOO!" Alastair hits Thomas on the arm, "Alex just kissed Nora and Henry ran away."
Thomas smirks, "Just keep reading."
"THEY'RE KISSING. GOD YES. THEY'RE KISSING."
"NOOOOO!" Alastairs screams, "WHY DID HE LEAVE WTF?!?!"
"Thomas I'm breaking up with you if you don't tell me now this is gonna be fixed somehow in the next three pages."
Thomas just clicks his tongue, shaking his head
"Wha-" Alastair just huffs a laugh. He turns to Thomas, pointing to the book, "Baby have you read this? Alex is- He thinks he's what now?" He's straight up laughing now, "Straight?!"
"He did what with Liam?"
"This is literally the gayest shit I've ever read in my life."
"Nah ha, I don't believe it."
"How can he think he's straight?"
"Oh god they watched porn together- HE JERKED HIM OFF."
Alastair just hits his head against the headboard, "I didn't think I'd have to go through the who the fuck am I in this book. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR JUST BY THE FACT THAT HE FUCKING CARESSED HENRY'S POSTERS."
"AND THEN THIS NEVERENDING LIST OF GAY THINGS."
Alastair panicked for a short time when Henry was seen with that blonde but started screeching again after a moment
Thomas bursts into laughter when he heard Alastair mutters God save the Queen
"'I want you on the bed.' OH JESUS CHRIST THOMAS IT'S US."
"Tom?"
Thomas turns when he hears the hesitancy in his boyfriend's voice. Alastair's face is red and he's biting his lower lip
"You okay? What part are you reading?"
"No, uhm," Alastair scratches his head, "can we -" he clears his voice, "Can we make out?"
Thomas blinks a couple of times, "Sure."
A heavy make out session ensues before they both can start reading again
"We need to buy cupcakes tomorrow." Alastair mutters at some point, chewing on his lip
"Thomas this fucking book is the best thing I've ever read. I'm loving it so much."
Alastair closes the book around midnight, but Thomas knows he's not finished. He doesn't look his way thinking he's just gonna go to the bathroom
When Thomas senses him move around on the sheets and lay his head on hip lap, he closes the book too and look down at his boyfriend
"What's going on? We just made out."
Alastair grunts in his legs and looks up at him, "You're my match."
Thomas doesn't understand, but he smiles and leans down to kiss him
He resumes reading and realises Alastair had read more than him when he reaches Alex's and Ellen's conversation about matches. Thomas looks at Alastair once again and pesters him with kisses
It's around 3am when Alastair starts yawning
"Alas, you should go to bed."
He shakes his head, "No, I'm not tired, I wanna finish the book."
"The book will be here tomorrow."
"I don't care."
He drops the fight, knowing perfectly fine that he'll never win this
Alastair can be quite impressive when he finds something he likes - especially when it's books
"Fucking homophobes."
"I'm gonna riot if somebody doesn't let Alex call Henry right the fuck now."
"HENRY ASKED ALEX IF HE IS OKAY? BABY WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT YOU."
The end of the book is read so fast that Thomas can't keep up with him and is now more than 20 pages back
Alastair is a crying and screaming mess by the end of it and Thomas has never seen him so upset in their time together
He's just spoiled the whole book for him, but he doesn't care. He doesn't care that it's now 5am and they have work in a couple of hours, cause Alastair just looks his way with wide eyes and his mouth open as if he's just realized something shocking
"Oh my god, did Pez, June and Nora had a threesome in that hotel room?"

Today I want to talk about something other than the usual nonsense I post in this blog. I just watched an amazing Ted talk about child marriage (link below) and it reminded me of a post I saw on this app about Zoya, about how this person disliked Zoya's backstory because they think Zoya doesn't need a reason to justify her ruthlessness, I won't talk about character development because that's a whole different conversation, but I do want to tell you this: Zoya's backstory matters, it is neccessary.
You may think that child marriage is not a thing anymore, that it only happens in poor and extremely religious countries so that you don't even have to worry about it, that it is a crime, that it is illegal, that no one would allow such thing, guess what, you're wrong, child marriage and FGM (female genital mutilation) are very real, they're real even in places such as U.K and first world countries, marrying a young girl to a man old enough to be her grandfather is not a crime in many countries. According to UNICEF, if things don't change, in the next ten years 1 5 0 m i l l i o n girls will be forced to marry before they can even turn eighteen.
So go ahead Susan, look at the numbers and tell me again why Zoya's backstory is not relevant. It might not matter to you, but it matters to EVERY girl who has been through this torture,it matters to every girl who will be forced to it, it matters to all those girls whose voices will never be heard. Who will speak for them if we don't?.
Around the world there are countless Zoyas, Inejs and Fjerdan girls forced to give birth, they represent all those girls and women who have been and continue to be deprived of any kind of rights to their bodies, these women deserve to be part of the stories we read, they are owed, we own them that much.
So praise Leigh Bardugo and thanks, because this is what YA should be about, I'm sick of writers who over sexualize their teen characters, I'm sick of reading pages and pages of sexual nonsense, I'm sick of reading about females characters that are everything but real girls, fck that, is that what you think young girls should read about? If you have so many readers, if you have a platform that big, if people want to hear what you have to say then it is your responsibility to use your books, and your words to make a difference, not just to make money.
Many of you will think that it won't make a difference, but it does, even if you can't donate your money,even if you can't volunteer,even if you can't pass a law, even if you can't be aunt Lyliyana for these girls, even if you can't rescue them as captain Inej would do, you have what they don't, a voice and a choice, so use them, because the more people know about this, the more debates we have, then the more awareness we will raise,and that's exactly what we need, because to be silent is to be complicit. Let those who have the power to make real changes know that we are angry, let them know that we won't stand for a system that continues to ignore and profit the suffering of young girls and women.
Let them know so maybe one day there will be no more Zoyas and Inejs, let them know so maybe one day they won't fade away waiting for someone to rescue them, let them know so maybe one day these stories will only belong in books.
These stories matter because they are the spark that ignites the fire.

Hi have you read the first two chapters of chain of iron yet, if so what are your theories?
Okay I've now read them so here are things im hoping for and some of my theories :)
I think grace and lucie will probably approach Malcolm fade for necromancy help and idk I feel like something bad is gonna happen to lucie
Also following along w lucie/jesse hopes - my fairondale heart is hoping that Matthew finds put about jesse before anyone else and we get a matthew/lucie/jesse love triangle although I think this is pretty unlikely
I've heard other people have this theory before but I think Elias is going to show up at the worst time possible like the wedding and cause a scene
Also I think the wedding will be delayed it seems too soon to happen in the book idk
Definitely i think cassie already said this but I can't remember there's gonna be some distance/arguments with Cordelia and lucie because of all the secrets
I think this is pretty unlikely but maybe either grace is the killer, I mean we know she'd do anything for her brother and to get him back OR lucie and grace will try using the deaths to their advantage
I think lucie and grace might go too far w the necromancy and maybe bring jesse back wrong or against his will, he's said he doesn't agree w necromancy so idk
Matthew will maybe confess to cordelia how he feels while drunk at her wedding
This is mostly jesse/lucie/grace centred i just find their storyline the most interesting
I might post some more theories later too :) I'm so excited for coi!!!!!

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE (9/23/20): Breonna Taylor’s life mattered. There is no justice to be found under this neocolonial system. We must bring it to its knees.

Lucie was the sibling that chased with the knife.
James was the one running from Lucie screaming.
I do not take criticism.

Hey since I know that you also ship fairondale, do you think that there is still a chance for them because I'm honestly starting to lose hope. What do you think will happen with them in coi?
I feel like there's still definitely a possibility. The hints cassie put into cast long shadows and in chain of gold were there for a reason and i feel like shes left that unresolved so at the very least we will hopefully get more interaction between them. Also, many couples from cassies books only got together by the last book in their series so I'll be holding out hope :)
Thank u for the ask!!!!!!
