Ready for the final adventure?

We have some wonderful works to share with you today on Day 5 (our last!) of Red, White and Royal Wanderlust!!! Let's get wandering!

✈️✈️✈️.

The Tide Is High, But I’m Holding On | rated E | 28,467 words

It’s only when they reach the main deck floor when the reality of the situation starts to hit him. Henry feels like he’s been through twenty lives since the conversation Alex had with him on their sofa last night.

He’s really doing it; he’s going on a fucking cruise, to the Mexican Riviera, with his roommate and best friend who he’s been pathetically pining for 3 years, and he has nowhere left to run.

✈️✈️✈️.

Half Agony, Half Hope | rated M | 14,142 words

Every other summer, Henry comes to a secluded beach in Mexico to work on a manuscript. But this year is different. This year, he’ll finish his last novel for his family’s publishing company and build a beach library.

He's even made a mood board. It's an excellent plan.

Until he runs into the only man he’s ever loved, the one he’d been persuaded to leave eight years ago. And, if it’s possible, Alex is more handsome now than he was at 19.

OR, the one where Henry tries to put the past behind him, and instead runs into his ex.

✈️✈️✈️.

tidal wave | rated G | 1,985 words

Everyone has that one embarrassing skill that they haven’t achieved when they enter adulthood. Something they prefer to keep to themselves, to avoid any unnecessary questioning or humiliation.

Some can’t ride a bike without stabilisers, while others haven’t read a book since they were twelve. But for Henry it is something different. Something that has more dire consequences. Henry can’t swim.

OR Alex is a lifeguard and Henry nearly drowns.

Ready for a voyage?

We have some wonderful works to share with you today on Day 4 of Red, White and Royal Wanderlust!!! Time to travel!

✈️✈️✈️.

I [REDACTED] You, Baby | rated M | 20,586 words

Alex is everyone's favorite field agent. He's charming, gorgeous, brilliant, and kind.

Henry loathes him.

Henry and Nora run the best tech division around. Henry enjoys his quiet routine and sweater vests.

When a prank gives the Agency the perfect cover to tail a target, Alex and Henry are forced to get along.

Posing as newlyweds in Valencia, Spain; these two have to learn to work together and find out if they can trust each other.

✈️✈️✈️.

how it hurts to hope | rated M | 15,080 words

“You told the hotel it’s our honeymoon.”

Alex shrugs, in that carefree and charming way he does, as if certain no reasonable person could ever be mad at him.

Henry couldn’t.

The thought of spending a week sleeping alongside Alex and not being able to reach out and touch him — to caress his skin or to run his fingers through Alex’s hair while he sleeps, admiring the way his unruly curls will fall over the pillow – is a tragedy.

This will be torture.

Slow, painful, torture. Like someone had peeked inside Henry’s brain and picked the most painful possible way to torment him, tailored and customised specifically for him.

-----

While on vacation together in Hawaii, Alex tells the resort it's their honeymoon so they can get a free upgrade. Pretending to be married is fine, until it's not, and Henry has to confront his feelings for his best friend of 20 years.

✈️✈️✈️.

California Dreamin' | rated G | 5,002 words

“If you just step aside for a second here, I’ll quickly pay for my ride and I’ll be on my way.”

“Yes, well, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that,” Henry answers, still fidgeting with his bag and exchanging looks with the rental booth guy.

“Come on, it will only take a minute and then you’ll have all the time you need,” Alex tries to maintain his patience.

“Excuse me, you arrived here in a tizzy and demanded to cut in line. I am simply trying to explain to you that that won’t be happening, as I will be taking the last available jet ski.”

“The what now? How is that possible?” Alex turns to the booth. The guy occupying it looks like he’s barely eighteen and in no way on top of the supply and demand situation on a beautiful, sunny day in mid-August.

“Sorry, dude,” the guy mutters, “we’re just all out, nothing I can do.”

OR, Alex has some damage control to do, but a certain blonde has other plans.

✈️✈️✈️.

It's Crazy It's Party | rated M | 3,482 words

“Ugh.”

The first voice’s owner puts all of the world’s frustration and disgust into this one syllable, and Alex feels it like a blow to his chest.

“Would it kill them to button up their shirts?” the same voice adds.

Fucking Brits. Alex can bet they are oh, so sophisticated, they sent a boys’ choir that usually performs in churches or something equally ridiculous to show that they are better and more cultured than everyone else. Fun hating conceited assholes. Grey must be their favourite colour.

-- OR: Alex didn't think helping out a friend would mean taking part in the biggest song contest in the world. Eurovision AU.

Schlocktober: A Fake Event Where Anything Goes

While other people are out here dropping Kinktober prompt lists with 9000 stipulations, I bring you this.

It's not a real October event, but it could be if you believe. The prompts are here for anyone to enjoy anyway.

Why "schlock"?

It means trash/junk, and that's the quality of content I'm striving for with these prompts. It's also fun to say.

But, y'know, if you want to take a prompt and turn it into a masterpiece of a whumpy longfic, go for it.

What fandom is this for?

Whatever fandom you want.

What ships can I write/draw?

Any of them.

Even [my fandom's most despised ship]?

Especially [your fandom's most despised ship].

What if I want to combine prompts? What if I want to write or draw things out of order? What if...

Go for it.

Are crossovers okay?

Do. Whatever. You. Want.

What if I want to create something problematic?

Send me the fucking link.

What does [prompt] mean?

You tell me. It's all open to interpretation.

Are there any rules at all?

Sure.

No AI use. If you need an LLM to write your schlock for you, consider a long walk off a short pier. If you need it to do your editing for you, use a beta reader instead. A stick figure drawn on the back of a napkin is better than soulless AI art.

Tag appropriately. 'Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings' means anything goes. 'No Archive Warnings Apply' means your work is guaranteed not to contain any of the major archive warnings (non-con, major character death, graphic violence, or underage sex).

No irl bigotry. Your characters can be problematic as all get out, but if you try to post a weird pro-JK Rowling essay or something you're not going in the collection, bud. Don't kill the vibes.

What are the vibes?

Just have fun.

But other people are having fun wrong!

Shut the fuck up.

Are you going to be doing this?

Probably not.

How do I participate?

There's an ao3 collection right here:

Schlocktober on ao3

Otherwise, just hashtag #schlocktober or something, idk. I don't expect anyone to actually do this.

Little something from "Careful What You Wish For"

***

Alex had deliberately made an early morning therapy session – partially to deal with his parents’ argument at Christmas dinner that he knows is coming.  But also, to make sure that he’s nowhere near the White House for Oscar when decides to finally talk to his son.

After the session, he decides to go to Wharf Ice Rink for ice skating.  As a Texas boy, he can’t say that he ever expected to get terribly good at ice skating (and in fact, when Henry insisted that they try it as a date the first time he ever tried it, he proved that he was not meant for the ice).  Some people who had noticed them on their date had recorded how terrible he was at it, and he was a meme for weeks.

Rather than never dare to do it, again, Alex became determined to not be a meme or a joke about it ever again.  Which is how he convinced Henry to teach him how to skate in the privacy of indoor ice rinks that they rented out for lessons. 

Naturally, it didn’t take long, and it actually became one of Alex’s favorite ways to relax when he’s stressed (other than sex with Henry) in the winter when running becomes more dangerous with the snow and sleet.

WIP Wednesday

I feel like it's been ages since I posted any words and it's mostly because my brain demands me to write a Captive Prince fic and not any of RWRB wips I'd started earlier.

So thank you to @suseagull5914 @onthewaytosomewhere and @run-for-chamo-miles for tagging me still 💖

It's soulmates again.

Laurent looks pale and shocked and his eyes only leave Damen when Auguste addresses him- “Prince Damianos claims that you are soulmates. Is it true, Laurie? Can you tell?” The younger prince turns his eyes to Damen again and then, slowly, barely at all, nods. “How do you know?” Auguste coaxes. Laurent takes a moment to think. “He’s bright like a sun,” he finally says.

Using fandom's main tag because I don't know anyone in capri fandom and I hope someone will want to beta this once it's done or, like, obsess about Damen and Laurent together.

5 times over the years Alex and Henry see each other at other people's weddings.

(And one time it's their own).

legend has it there be dragons | rated E | 15,277 words

Henry Fox, son of world-renowned archaeologist and anthropologist Arthur Fox, and not so bad at them himself, is on a mission to prove his father's theories about dragons correct. And take the smudge away from his father's name, while he's at it. He doesn't expect to find that not only was his father right, but that the man he's been falling for is the stuff of legends.

✈️✈️✈️.

Truths We Never Told | rated T | 8,279 words (additional chapters to be posted)

It was only then that he heard humming coming out of the shower, a voice that was decidedly not feminine using the time to practice what musical talent they had. From what Alex could tell, the guy, whoever he was, was pretty good. He would've tried to pinpoint a nationality, but it was so much harder to do that with singing. One thing he did know for sure, though- or at least, he was pretty positive- was that the other person who had managed to get into his villa wasn't there to hurt him. Sure, they could be in the shower during his arrival to lead him astray, catch him off guard, but if that was the case, wouldn't they have greeted Alex when he arrived instead of letting him get comfortable?

He proceeded with caution to the bathroom, and it was only then that he could hear it: the unmistakable sound of running water being turned off.

Or:

Alex and Henry end up double-booked at the same Airbnb

still recall as i wonder | rated E | 18,584 words

“I’m so glad,” Alex tells him, throat rough. “Really glad.”

Henry’s grin falls into something smaller. Alex is hit by the revelation that he’s never seen either expression, only imagined them. They’re better than anything his mind could have made up.

“Me too.”

Or, even in post-apocalyptic America, Alex and Henry find each other.

The Long Road Home | rated M | 12,883 words (additional chapters to be posted)

In 1989, Arthur Fox set out to drive the Pan-American highway on motorcycle. With nothing but a small production crew in a pickup truck for support, he and his cameraman ran the length of South America, through Central America and Mexico, to end at San Antonio, Texas, two weeks before Christmas. The trip, Arthur would say after, changed his life.

Thirty years later, novelist Henry Fox is asked to recreate his father’s journey to mark the anniversary. Alongside his old friend and award-winning actor, Alex Claremont-Diaz, and his father’s best friend and original cameraman, Shaan Srivastava, they attempt to ride from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles in a hundred days. It’s a test of more than body and bike. It’s a test of endurance, relationships, and nerve.

An AU inspired by the series Long Way Up

✈️✈️✈️.

please keep your door shut | rated G | 7,300 words

Alex has never seen so many shades of green in one place. The Welsh countryside rolls out before him, hills rising and falling in gentle waves, dotted with sheep that watch his rented Fiat with mild, unbothered curiosity. He follows the directions he received from the Airbnb host, winding past stone fences and wild hedges, until he reaches the cottage he booked—a storybook place with wisteria in bloom and a garden that looks like it belongs in a fairy tale.

Or: Alex books an Airbnb in the Welsh countryside.

Alex’s Two Favorite Dicks

[Picture of Alex and Henry covered in cake]

Liam: So, that whole pretending to be enemies thing finally blew up, huh?

Henry: Hush, you. 

shut up, Li.

Liam: Oh, please, I’ve been waiting for this for a long time – there’s no way I’m shutting up about this.

“I hate you,” Alex states, the second that his phone connects to Liam’s. 

“Your dick says otherwise,” Liam counters as he appears on screen.

“I would pop on just to hear those words,” Henry offers as he, too, appears.

“My dick says nothing,” Alex counters. 

“Our group chat says something,” Henry offers.

HAPPY SUNDAY Y'ALL!!! Ok so maybe I wrote a thing last night that I am V V V excited about and I scheduled this post specifically because I'm so proud of how well this first lil bit of this fic has turned out. So without further ado, have regency era Hollanov!

Shane Hollander thinks it's high time he finds a wife. No one is pressuring him – Lord knows, his mother only wants him to be happy and his father has been gone now for eleven years. Yuna has made it clear from the start that she doesn’t care much about his Viscountly duties and would rather he finds a love match, but Shane swore, ten years ago after his father’s death and his mother’s grief, that he would never let heartbreak touch him. And the best way to avoid heartbreak? Well… don’t fall in love, of course. It was proving to be rather easy, too. Women never really caught Shane’s eye.

Okieeee so let's see! Tags! @onthewaytosomewhere , @run-for-chamo-miles , @tailsbeth-writes , @pauppysucr , @shanehollandertwentyfour , @porcelainmortal , @suseagull5914 and an open tag for anyone else who might want to post a snippy an dtag me!

HENRY GOLDING Another Simple Favor (2025) dir. Paul Feig

[onthewaytosomewhere]

okay - my first submission into the Not-So-Much One Night Stands series of the year took until august to get posted - but it's here now

it was a one night stand 'til I woke up next to you

There are few things Alex likes more than sex. He’s always been honest about that, about how he likes the weight of someone pressing against him, the way a mouth can pull pleasure out of him until he’s shaking, the way he can make someone else come undone on his cock or with his mouth. He’s had what some would call more than his fair share of partners, all genders, all kinds of bodies, and he’s never once been ashamed of it. But right now—right now, with Henry’s balls bouncing warm and heavy against his ass every time Henry’s cock drags in and out of him—Alex thinks this is what sex is meant to be. This, the slick slide of Henry’s cock filling him so perfectly that Alex feels stretched open in a way that’s less about being taken apart and more about being made whole... OR a one-night stand that doesn't stay that way fic where both boys get a lil feels-y

[onthewaytosomewhere]

oblivious

based on the prompt: intersecting commutes. (is this guy stalking me??)

alex wouldn't call himself an oblivious person per se. sure he was oblivious about his bisexuality until well into his 20s (so like yesterday basically, nora likes to say), and he was oblivious about nora and june until they literally kissed right in front of his salad at mom and leo's this past christmas.

but if alex were oblivious all of the time, then he wouldn't have noticed hot subway guy, and he wouldn't have noticed that hot subway guy has been following alex everyday on his morning commute for a month.

"what makes you think he's following you?" june wants to know. "it kind of just sounds like you both live and work in the same area."

"june oh my god. i take a bus to a train to then walk five blocks out of my way to the same fucking food truck this guy also happens to go to every day? that can't be a coincidence."

"it's certainly something," says june.

whatever. alex knows he's right on this because he's heard the guy order, and who goes to a food truck just to get fucking tea?

one morning said tea almost gets spilled. this is because alex just spilled his coffee like everywhere, narrowly avoiding hot subway guy's shoes. the guy says an aggrieved "pardon" without glancing up from his book, and okay, so he's like super british. which makes the tea make much more sense, if not the part where he's suddenly even hotter somehow.

"maybe he wants to colonize you," nora deadpans.

"wait, you think?"

"or," nora says almost gently, "maybe this guy hasn't even noticed you, alejandro."

"nora!" alex protests. "are you trying to hurt my feelings right now?"

because nora, who's always right, needs to be wrong about just this one thing. never mind that he's never once looked at alex, on the train or at the food cart, or the dog park alex runs by or the café that he goes to on weekends.

not even at the union square book reading he's just dragged june to tonight. not that that stops him from pointing out his hot stalker is there too.

"see?" says alex. "what'd i tell you and nora? this guy follows me everywhere."

which is when he hears a very deep and very british voice say, "you think that i followed you to my own book reading?"

fuck. fuck. fuck. what?

"well when you put it that way," alex hedges the same time june goes, "henry fox is your hot stalker?"

"i didn't know," alex says. "i just saw a flyer for this thing and thought sure yeah why not."

henry fox says very innocently, "and where was this flyer you saw?"

"on the train," says alex evasively. "okay it was in the book you were reading but that's beside the fucking point, i mean who uses their own fucking flyer as a bookmark?"

henry's eyes are so so blue. "ah. you noticed. i rather hoped that you would."

alex feels breathless. "you…noticed me too?"

henry says, "you use a concerning amount of cinnamon in your coffee. the tea there is terrible, by the way."

alex shakes his head. he tries not to beam too hard. he's not sure it's really working. "i fucking knew it."

"if you would like," henry says, "you could follow me some more, perhaps to the bar for a drink afterward?" he looks fucking pretty when he blushes like that. alex is staring. he's kind of obsessed.

he can admit these things to himself now.

henry goes on, "we could even sit at the same table for once, if you like."

"that was one time," alex argues. "and i was there first. but yeah okay i guess i'd be down."

and alex may be oblivious to a lot of things, but the smile henry gives him is definitely never going to be one of them.
