we have it all

in which love is lost, gained and grown by three lost souls and their countryside home.

for day 6 of @jatp-ralex-week, some poly fluff for the prompt ‘home’

Alex isn’t used to being a vampire yet and blanches at the thought of his bi-weekly meals. But Reggie is a patient—if a little overeager—teacher, and Willie doesn’t shy away from the messy business of it all. Ever so slowly, it becomes just another part of their routine. Alex can’t quite believe his luck, even when he is staring at blood-stained hands—too similar to how he left the club, he can’t help but think the first time he stands in the remains of a hunt. Because there never fails to be a hand to tip his chin back up and another to tug his hands out of his line of sight to be cleaned.

Willie has nightmares that end with him shaking apart in the corner of the giant bed they’ve taken to sharing for this exact reason. He clings to their hands until their bones creak and takes a long time to accept that Alex killed Caleb many years ago. He is quiet about his dreams, only describing enough for Alex to reconsider his wish to never go adventuring again—if only to find a way to reach through the planes and tear apart the nightmares with his own hands. Reggie voices similar thoughts until Willie laughs through their tears.

Sometimes, Reggie sits in the garden and cries, heaving sobs that tell more tales about his past than that drunken night he and Alex spent together could ever have coaxed out. He digs his hands into the ground, staring at the slowly sprouting green all around him, and weeps. When Willie sits down next to him, when Alex gently pries his hands from the dirt, all he says is, “I can nurture life. I’m not just built to destroy it.” They respond with tender touches and promises that feel sacred here in their own little world.

for @jatp-ralex-week day 7 free day

Summary:

What he doesn’t expect is a blond boy opening the door, smiling at him, his eyes alight and bright and … that’s not who he was expecting. He’s wearing some kind of soft looking shirt, somehow dyed into a light pink. This … this is not what a witch is supposed to look like. Where is the black hair and the blood and the robes and— “That’s usually my Sunday’s look. The blood comes naturally after sacrificing a goat to Satan,” the blond witch deadpans. Reggie flushes, scratching at the back of his neck.

Written for day 2 of @jatp-ralex-week technically for the prompts sunset and AU. However, I also didn’t realise which month this week was happening because I have no idea what time is anymore, and so the editing got pushed back and this became a day 7 posting.

This fic absolutely hurt my heart and also soothed it, and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Summary:

After Bobby walks away, stolen songs in his pocket, the remaining boys of Sunset Curve have to learn to live with broken hearts. In order to figure out where to start, Alex and Reggie go on a small road trip. It’s quickly becoming clear to Reggie, however, that the heartbreak of a friendship is far from an easy thing to live with.             

Snippet:

“How can anything ever be okay again?” Reggie asks—and he means the band, the three of them that are left, but he also means the absence Bobby has left behind in their life; the hole that no one can fill; the fact that Bobby broke his heart.

“Because life moves on,” Alex says. “The earth crumbles and the stars die and the ocean moves, and we will still be here. After everything, you’ll still have me and Luke. No matter what. Death couldn’t separate us.”

“But you don’t know that!” The words burst from Reggie, a startled yell, and Alex’s flinch is miniscule, but still noticeable. Breathing in, Reggie forces himself to not yell and repeats, “You don’t know that. Maybe you’ll walk away as well, maybe Luke will. Maybe there’ll be nothing of us. Maybe none of this will continue. Maybe this will all end.”

Alex is silent for a long moment and Reggie’s heart pounds in his ears. “Maybe,” Alex says, voice soft, quiet. “Maybe. But… But if it does end—at least we had this. Maybe this will end and maybe it won’t, but no matter what, we’ll have had this. Years of friendship and making music, so many memories made together. If this ends and, even if it doesn’t, those memories will fade, but we will always remember this. This warmth and this love and- and my door will always be open. There’ll always be flannel in my closet and I’ll make sure that the kitchen is stocked with your favourite foods. Even if this ends, I’ll still be waiting for you to come home.”

And isn’t that friendship? Isn’t that love? It’s the phone ringing in the middle of the night and picking up. It’s stopping by during a month of heartbreak and being there even when you can do nothing but suffer together in silence. It’s taking your friend to see a sunset because your other friend broke both of your hearts.

Another coffee shop au! Not quite as ridiculous, but with added polyamory.

You Know I'm One for the Overly Passionate

Summary: “I’m really glad you guys came,” Willie says, fidgeting with his napkin wrapper. “I was kinda worried you weren’t going to show up.”

“Are you kidding?” Luke asks. “We wouldn’t miss this for anything.”

“I dunno, I mean,” Willie gives a bashful shrug, “I finally meet my favorite band and all four of them want to date me? It seems like the kind of thing that only happens in bad romance novels.”

Or, Sunset Curve gay panics their way through a date with Willie.

Date Night

i was really excited when i first heard about @jatp-ralex-week because it so happens i have a ralexie au in the works that’s based off of the niche 2005 dcom ice princess and we all know my very favorite hobby is participating in events with fics i’ve barely even conceptualized!! so without further ado, presenting a ralex-focused snippet of They’ll Hang Us In The Lourve, a fic i chose the title for mostly because of the fact it abbreviates to thuitl, which i think is hilarious.

[ TW: some homophobia and slut shaming in the beginning, loose implications of homophobia continue throughout the snippet, please put your safety first <3 ]

[jatp-ralex-week]

Written for day 6 of @jatp-ralex-week for the prompts date night and home. This fic features Alex, Reggie, and Luke in a QPR because QPRs are my jam to write.

Summary:

Every so often, the three of them will have a date night. They’re never the same, but Alex loves them all the same. Tonight, Luke organises it. However, the problem on Alex’s mind is the exhaustion tugging at him, fighting his desire to stay awake to be with his partners.

and i will kiss you soft so you know || Alex/Reggie || G || 1.3k

“I wish you didn’t have to go,” Reggie murmurs, pulling Alex closer and tangling their legs together. Savoring the contact and trying not to think about all the days he’d be alone with Alex so far away.

“I know,” Alex sighs, pressing a soft kiss to Reggie’s temple. “It’s only a week. I’ll be back before you know it.”

Summary:

“Hey, Reg,” Alex responds, a little bemused. “What’s going on?”

“Just sit there and relax,” his boyfriend replies. “I made you something.”

“You…” Alex looks around. Now this setup is starting to make a little more sense. “You wrote me a song?”

Two Hearts, Three Words, And One Drummer

Rated: T

Relationship: Reggie/Alex

Summary:

Alex’s eyes were Reggie's first glimpse of the ocean.

Okay, so maybe not literally. Reggie’s parents had insisted on a change of scenery when he was thirteen, too gangly and too in-between and too emotional without a way to express it all. As if a sliver of beachfront property would swallow all of his parent's problems with the tides.

Now he's twenty-one, and Reggie’s come to love how expressive the ocean is, if only because he's always finding it in Alex's eyes.

I managed to write something for @jatp-ralex-week! 🥰 Here's my small contribution for the Getting Together prompt!

[jatp-ralex-week]

Hour of Deepest Need

Summary: Reggie shushes him, but throws him a smile that reassures him he’s not mad. He takes his Walkman, places one earbud in his own ear, and the other in Alex’s. He presses play, and a slow, sad country song starts crooning into Alex’s ear.

“Dance with me,” Reggie whispers.
