stolen glances with a string attached

[t, 6.8k] playlist

Henry’s eyes widen, his body tensing up in sheer humiliation. That’s when he sees a sly smirk make its way to the man’s lips, and it only makes the embarrassment course through his body more rapidly, feeling all the blood rush to his cheeks. The man then spins around in his office chair, reaching for what looks to be a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbles on it for a swift moment before pressing the paper up against his office window.

The paper reads, “TAKE A PIC,” written in sloppy, bubble-like handwriting just barely legible enough for Henry to read.

The man grabs another paper and writes for a moment longer, this time reading, “JK” with a winky face. Henry cocks an inquisitive eyebrow in his direction, the embarrassment slowly morphing into curiosity as the man turns the paper over for Henry to read the other side.

“ALEX.”

rwrb christmas recs! ❤️

hi all! :D i wanted to rec some festive fics for the holidays for fic rec friday this week!

I'm sure that I've missed some and that some are still to be posted, which will be included in the january rec if so! but here are a few that I've particularly enjoyed reading this month -- the holidays can be a difficult time for many of us and fic - both reading and writing it - can be such a wonderful distraction!

I hope all of you are doing well and being kind to yourselves and to one another this season. happy reading, and as always be sure to spread the love with a kudos, comment, or reblog if possible. enjoy, and happy christmas! <3

fell apart (in the usual way) by @hypnostheory (E, 12k)

Henry is a mess around the holidays, and he's expecting to have a tremendously horrid time without Shaan. Fortunately, Alex has plans to make his Christmas both merry and bright. (Bodyguard!Alex Part 2)

When I Think About You by @clottedcreamfudge (E, 36k, wip)

Dream sharing is absolutely not a thing, even though Alex would very much like it to be. The magic of soulmates, however, means that someone you’ve never met – someone whose soul is tied to yours, in whatever way that manifests – can appear in your dreams, like an extra character who keeps popping up over and over again. They won’t be having the same dream as you, and you won’t actually meet, but whatever you remember from the dream can start to take shape in your waking hours; you can figure things out, bit by bit, dream by dream.

Gonna Give You Something (So You Know What's On My Mind) by @affectionatelyrs (E, 4k+)

With the help of a white elephant gift, Henry learns that maybe the whole being-in-love-with-his-roommate thing isn’t as one-sided as he thought.

Every Day's a Holiday (When I'm Near To You) by bleedingballroomfloor (E, 30k)

I know this is a long shot, but if anyone’s going to Texas/anywhere south for the holidays and is crazy enough to drive there instead of fly, I’m looking for a road trip buddy. We can split gas money and snacks if you pick good ones. DM me if you’re interested. And Henry knows he's about the make the most idiotic decision he's ever made in his life. [Or, Henry impulsively tags along with Alex on a road trip to Texas with absolutely no plan. Surely this won't backfire.]

The Christmas Guest by @omgcmere (E, 17k)

Alex is looking forward to a relaxing winter break catching up with his sister after her semester abroad, but June's gone and ruined everything by inviting her insufferable international student friend to stay with their family for a real American Christmas experience. Henry is irritatingly gorgeous with a completely obnoxious superiority complex, and Alex is prepared to hate every single second he's forced to spend in his presence. As Alex starts to get into the Christmas spirit, however, he finds that maybe there's more to Henry than meets the eye - and maybe, just maybe, this will actually be the best Christmas ever

he is exactly the poem i wanted to write

firstprince. 3.1k. rated e. pwp/pwf. post canon. thanksgiving fluff.

There is no turkey in Alex's bedroom this year. But there is one very sleepy prince.

"Where're you goin'?" Alex slurs into the back of Henry's neck, still mostly asleep, when he feels Henry start to sit up and slide away from his body. His fingers dip underneath the fabric of Henry's shirt and caress the soft skin of his waist. Henry shivers, biting his bottom lip to fight back a small smile.

He feels warm. Inside and out.

"I have to use the loo, is that allowed?"

He doesn't actually want to move, of course. The persistent pressure in his bladder is not going to will itself away, however, and he's held it off as long as he can in favor of staying in Alex's arms.

Alex grumbles half-heartedly, something like I told you to pee before bed, and releases his hold on him.

Henry rolls his eyes and pads barefoot to the loo, the moon shining through the windows illuminating his way. He feels sluggish in a way he never has before, still full from the copious amount of turkey, potatoes and pie that Alex quite literally spoon fed him earlier in the night.

Pairing: Alex Claremont-Diaz/Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

“We’re back?” Henry asks. “And where are you going?” “To pick up Nora?! As I told you last week?” June replies, exasperated. “I swear to God, Henry, sometimes you are more forgetful than my brother.” “I—now, that’s preposterous!” he yelps. He would clutch his pearls if he had any. “I resent being compared to Alex.” “Oh, don’t be so scandalized, Henry! You guys are so similar, I honestly don’t understand how you’re still not together.”

Or: Henry is tasked with baking gingerbread and he gets a helping hand from a friend

🌱 It's 2032, and they're decorating for Christmas 🌲 3k, post-canon, feat. firstprince kids 🎄 Day 16 of the Frosted Pages & Snowbound Stories Collection

“Hey, baby.” Alex removed the mug of tea from Henry’s hands to place it down on the kitchen counter, and wrapped his hands gently around his husband’s waist, pulling him closer. “I was thinking.” “Always dangerous,” Henry said cheekily, lowering his head to give Alex a chaste kiss on his forehead. Alex ignored him. “We have some free time this weekend. You’re home, I’m home. What if we…” Henry leaned back, eyebrows raised. “In front of the children?” “Well, I was thinking with the children. They’re old enough to help now.” “Love, I’m begging you to go back and finish that sentence.” “What if we put up the Christmas tree?” “Oh.” “You thought I meant…” Alex trailed off, a grin spread wide across his face. “You nearly always mean that.” 

[sparklepocalypse]

So, a little over a week ago, @affectionatelyrs reached out to me needing a pinch hitter for New Traditions: A Red White & Royal Blue Advent Calendar Event, and since work was slow and I was sort of itching to write more, I was like -- screw it, I'll write a cute lil' fluffy fic!

Well. Ma Nature clearly had other plans, because from roughly 10:30 AM on Monday until about 5 PM on Friday of last week, I and several hundred thousand other people in my state had no power or internet thanks to a bomb cyclone. So instead of the little fluffy fic I had planned... it grew. And grew. And grew. And today, I posted it:

It's nearly 31k words words of partially epistolary angst, fluff, slow burn romance, and smut that take place over seventeen years. I basically wrote an entire Bildungsroman in a freaking week.

"For Christmas this year, all I would like is a best friend who doesn’t mind too much that I’m a prince. Most of my classmates poke fun because of who I am, or treat me like I’m too special to be their friend. I want a best friend who knows me as much as my family does and still likes me. I know that you can’t wrap a best friend up in a box and put it under the tree, but you’re magic so you know the best way to bring one." (Movieverse canon divergence; Prince Henry, age 8, writes to Father Christmas wishing for a best friend. A few weeks later, he finds one.)

All chapters were posted today. Merry whatever you celebrate! ❤️

[forever-fixating]

Nothing like a belated holiday story to start the new year! I wrote this for my new fandom buddy @priincebutt not intending it to balloon into a 10K+ fluff-fest, but hey! It’s not like that’s a bad thing! Enjoy!

🎄 It's december and I will be posting some red, white & royal blue fics that I have been working on that are set in the month december.

I posted the third one on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/52002766

Characters: Alex Claremont-Diaz, Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor

Category: M/M

format: stand-alone

Warnings: implied sexual content

Henry receives a phone call from a distressed Alex asking him for help. When he arrives at Alex’s place, he finds his boyfriend in a state of distress: there's broken baubles painting the floor in different colours, decorations scattered around the place and pieces of tinsel stuck in Alex's hair – a real nightmare before Christmas.

i was tagged by the lovely @firenati0n so, as usual, have some from psau2

In the long pause that follows, Henry tries to remember those nights, and he’s suddenly hit with a wave of nostalgia that he didn’t even know was stored in his heart. When he glances back at Philip he’s sure that they have twin expressions on their faces. “What happened to those kids, Haz?” Henry could be the bigger person like his mother wants him to be. But, apparently, he’s a spoiled younger sibling.  “One of them decided to turn into a bigoted arsehole.”

omg, philip and henry confrontation!!

[pridepages]

Thanks @heybuddy-drabbles for the tag.

Here are a few sentences from today's writing sprint on the festive fic...

“This how you get your undead kicks?” Alex snarks. “What—rattling chains and slamming doors lose their thrill after a few decades?”

The ghost—Henry—raises a (frankly, judgy) eyebrow. “No,” he says coolly. He lifts his chin and declares, “I’m here to help.”

It’s only missing stirring music in the background for peak dramatic effect.

Alex laughs. “Go fuck yourself."

Val's December Drabbles Day 1/25

Okay, so yeah I'm doing a drabble advent, where I allow a random Christmas word generator to choose my prompt for each day from now until Christmas. Send me all of the good vibes you have because I have many a fic to complete between now and then, so what's 25 more, huh?

Today's word is merry and is inspired by the following lyrics to the song Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran and Elton John:

We'll dance in the kitchen while embers glow We've both known love, but this love we got is the best of all I wish you could see it through my eyes then you would know My God, you look beautiful right now Merry Christmas

Alex finds Henry in the kitchen, humming softly to himself as Elton John’s voice issues tinnily from his phone. His back is to Alex as he stands at the stove stirring something in a pot that smells heavenly. He’s just set the large ladle down when Alex wraps his arms around Henry’s waist and spins him around to face him, his blue eyes wide with the shock of the silent greeting. He quickly relaxes, melting into Alex’s embrace as they sway to the rhythm of the music, the flickering light of the fireplace dancing alongside them on a nearby wall.

Help Yourself to Happiness (ao3)

‘So you’re taking the post down, I assume? Now we’re both sober and in control of our impulses?’

Pez barks a laugh. ‘Absolutely not.’

‘I know we discussed the very real possibility that I would cry myself into oblivion without you here singing horrendously off key Christmas carols, but… isn’t this a little… desperate?’

‘I’m willing to see where this will take us, aren’t you?’ Pez asks, raising an eyebrow.

‘Says the man who would be safely out of the country after setting his best friend up with a potential murderer.’

Pez levels him with a look and then picks up Henry’s phone. ‘How many polos did he play?’ Pez turns the screen around so Henry can see the comment. ‘Does that sound like a person with murderous tendencies?’

Henry snatches the phone back. ‘This is a terrible idea.’

Or, A drunken night leads to Pez posting on Reddit, calling on any singles in the area to help Henry be a little less lonely this Christmas.
