No Nut November
E | 10K | gift work for @kiwiana-writes
“I think that if we were really going to play this game we should up the stakes, fuck or get fucked. You can’t come at all either for the entire next month. I know you have heard of No Nut November, baby. Why don’t we play?” Henry doesn’t have any chance to respond, because Alex’s phone goes off again, and he is rushing back to his room for pants before Henry can get a word in edgewise. That is okay though, they will be edging each other all month long. Or, roommates to lovers the old fashioned way, through a tension filled month of who can break the other first in a come-competition of prophetic proportions.

roop's first rwrb fics aka fics that left an impact aka fics that kicked off her rwrb fic love aka fics that make her heart go weeeoooweeeooo <3
hello! this list was quite literally revealed to me in a dream just now...which means now you all have to read it. happy holidays. a gift for you.
i read RWRB when it released, but started reading rwrb fics earlier this year during some tough titty times...and have since discovered a gorgeous community of folks just pouring their hearts out into the fandom fabric, giving me the courage to start putting bits of my work out there as well. here are some of the works that were present in my life at VERY roop-specific moments this year:
First fic I sent kudos to (i caved and made an ao3 after reading this one lmaoooo): With so much of my heart (that none is left to protest) by @kiwiana-writes
First fic that forced me to send my first tumblr ask screaming directly at the author for my feelings: also With so much of my heart (that none is left to protest) by @kiwiana-writes
First fic I bookmarked with the knowledge that this fic would destroy me: all that glitters (is not gold) by @indomitable-love
First fic I reread immediately after finishing like literally immediately: Going Platinum by @cricketnationrise
First fic I sent to someone not in the rwrb fandom but is a fan of the au so i schemed that this fic would suck them into the rwrb fandom and I was successful: Rogue's Gallery by @orchidscript
First fic(s) I sent to a boy as a bizarre mating ritual that actually worked: lifelines by @indomitable-love, Am I the Asshole? by @everwitch-magiks, and i ask you how you're doing (and i let you lie) by @matherines (his first fics, he loved them btw)
First fic that made me ugly cry not because it was inherently sad but because i achieved emotional catharsis i was not expecting: One Too Many Mornings by @orchidscript
First fic that made me CRY LAUGH until i was wheezing: and history remembered. by @sherryvalli
First fic that was a WIP I followed and screamed with each update: Cold Cases, Lost Causes by @tintagel-or-cockleshells
First fic that made me run laps around my room in sheer stress: Nova, Baby by @cha-melodius
First fic that made me run laps around my room in sheer thirst: Show Me What You're Working With by @clottedcreamfudge
First fic that made me giggle and kick my feet and blush: No Sense or Sensibility by @inexplicablymine
First fic that made me cry buckets in a costco parking lot: i ask you how you're doing (and i let you lie) by @matherines
First fic that made me learn something new about myself and patched up a crack in my heart: Down By The Water, I Saw You by @myheartalivewrites
First fic that taught me something I didn't know and had me doing a deep dive on wikipedia for 3 straight hours: Moonlighting by @orchidscript
First fic that had me writhing on the floor in absolute agony: What Do I Know? by @three-drink-amy
First fic that made me stare tearfully at a wall in quiet contemplation: Help Me Hold On to You by @affectionatelyrs
First fic that had me slamming subscribe to a series faster than I could say "kinktober": Temperature's Up, 'Bout to Erupt by @sparklepocalypse
First fic that opened my eyes to a whole new world of tags and also a new part of my brain: In His Wildest Dreams by @myheartalivewrites
First fic that made me feel such insane amounts of pining and yearning and longing that i had to take a walk: but if you could see us from a distance, you’d know i’ve always been so close to you by @anincompletelist
First fic that made me rethink my life while sitting in a DMV lobby waiting to renew my driver's license: Deep Blue by @myheartalivewrites
First fic that made me stay up all night to comment on each chapter as I read it in one sitting: Omakase by @orchidscript
First fic that I reread and live reacted to the author 3 hours before my dissertation was due instead of finishing the damn paper: to the victor, the spoils by @rmd-writes
First fic that made me feel incredibly homesick and had me looking up flights at 4am: after hours by @dumbpeachjuice
And finally... First fic I ever wrote after reading all of these incredible fics and wanting to also put a little piece of silly roop out into the world: our world, mine and his alone (the midnight train to go) by me :)
if you made it this far, thanks for reading. love you all. <3
xoxo roop

Six Sentence Sunday
Greetings, my dearest loves. So...I find myself in a bit of a block right now, where I CAN write, but it feels like I'm walking uphill through quicksand to do it, and I'm convinced that all of it is garbage. So if y'all have any extra special words that might change my mind and maybe pull me from this funk, I would greatly appreciate it.
That being said, I do currently have...about 10? or so different WIPs in varying states of disarray living in my docs from which to choose a Six Sentence Sunday snippet, and this one I actually did write this week, while in the throes of this Writer's Block.
This little piece is from my upcoming song inspired fic, Come Back to Me, which is a gift I've been meaning to give @thinkof-england for literal months now and is almost finished.
Thank you, as always, to those who typed my little username into their tag lists today (bless you all): @kiwiana-writes @getmehighonmagic @tintagel-or-cockleshells @cricketnationrise Y'all inspire me to keep on writing, always.
Dream scenario, be damned. The spark of Henry’s mouth on his is more than he ever could have dreamt, in a million versions over countless years. It consumes him entirely, burning away the charred remains of what was left of his heart the night that Henry left to expose the still-beating organ beneath. It’s a flood, pulling him under the waves and daring him to come up for air, a request he doesn’t ever plan on honoring. It’s the storm still raging outside the windows, a spiderweb of lightning spreading across the sky above before an angry clap of thunder expresses its impatience at being asked to wait as they dance together in the heavens, never one without the other. It’s Henry who pulls back first, breathless, pressing his forehead firmly into Alex’s and inhaling deeply through his nose, eyes closed, as if committing every detail of this moment to memory.
Putting tags out there for as many people as I can (and if you want to be added to this list, please reach out, the more the merrier). I'm always so ready to scream into all of your tags on my reblogs, so just get ready. And as always, consider this an open tag as well! Feel free to tag me in all of the things!

hi, yes, i'm still very behind on reading, but in my defense i picked up an actual book and did read that, so.
anyway, here's some fic.
masterlist.
(Secret) Santa Baby by indomitablelove
"When it comes to Secret Santa, Alex really does have a reputation to uphold. Everybody wants Alex to get them. Nobody actually wants to get Alex, which is why he usually ends up with novelty socks or a political biography, but he doesn’t care. Ultimately, everybody wants Alex to get their name. And right now, Alex is seconds away from finding out who his new mark is. The person that he’s going to spend the next few weeks learning inside and out to ensure that he gets them the perfect gift." --- Alex gets his work nemesis, Henry, in the office Secret Santa and realises that he doesn't know nearly as much about him as he thought...
Creative Differences by @sparklepocalypse
Zahra tilts her head at him, a contemplative expression on her face. “How attached are you to the notion of being a solo artist?” (AU; Alex is a failed solo musician and Henry's band needs a lead singer.)
just a figure of speech by congee4lunch
“Like I said: Alphas really don’t know how to fuck.” “And like I said,” Alex sets down his mug and steps closer to Henry. “I can fuck and I know how to fuck you so well, you’ll see stars, baby.” henry, an omega, hasn’t had good sex in a long time. as his alpha roommate and friend, alex can help with that. in a totally platonic bro way, of course.
Oxford Days by @myheartalivewrites
"Alex’s new roommate is kind of a slut. No. Strike that. Not kind of. Definitely. Definitely a slut." -- An ode to slutty Henry.
we play all day (and spread holiday cheer) by headabovethewater
Nora guffaws. “You fucked Santa’s Elf?!” “I mean,” Alex pauses and shrugs, “not with the costume on, obviously.” “I can’t fucking believe you,” Nora exclaims, her hands cupping her own face in disbelief. She looks over Alex’s shoulder and cocks an eyebrow, before she lowers her hands and her tone, and asks, “Since when do you have a thing for blondes?”
miles to go, but we're almost home by anincompletelist
Texas is a bit of a last minute decision. As in, at the actual last minute, Henry had begged them at the station for whatever ticket they had left to get out of the city, shoved his credit card at them expeditiously, and promptly boarded the vessel just as the doors slid closed behind him. Turns out it’s the best decision he’s ever made.
If at first you don't succeed by clottedcreamfudge
"Probably straight," Alex says, holding his hand out to Henry, "but you're extremely hot, so like - well done." "Well done?" Henry asks incredulously, the corner of his mouth quirking up into a smile as he takes Alex's hand in a firm handshake. "Well done on... being extremely hot?" "Hey, man," Alex says easily, taking his hand away after the briefest of shakes. "Take it or leave it." "In that case, I shall update my profile," Henry says as he gets to his feet. "Unsuccessful date with a heterosexual man who, nonetheless, had to admit I was 'extremely hot'."
his soft touch by viciouslyqueer
Alex comes homes and Henry immediately knows something is wrong.
Nocturnal Guilt by somuchworse
Henry hums, and Alex feels the vibration of it more than actually hearing the delicate sound. “What did you do, love?” “I stole Liam’s medication,” he grumbles. The room is still for a moment. “Tonight?” Henry asks, voice sliding into a slightly higher pitch, a memorable indication of his most genuine confusion. Alex groans. Talking is hard. “No,” he says, when Henry applies a little more pressure on the back of his head, like it’s a reward. “When we were kids. I stole a few so I could work on school shit, and he had a total meltdown when a few were missing, and I didn’t even tell him. I’m literally the fucking worst.”
Bukkake Breaky Heart by @kiwiana-writes
Six men surround Alex in a semicircle: blindfolded, tested, NDA’ed to within an inch of their lives even without any idea of who is in the room with them. Alex has a fantasy. Henry makes it happen.
Going Once, Going Twice by allmylovesatonce
“I was supposed to go to this Christmas fundraiser for the NYU symphony,” she explains, “but there’s this event at work that as an intern I really can’t miss.” “What’s the favour?” June grimaces. “I need you to go to the symphony fundraiser for me.” Alex stills. There’s one reason June would be going to something for the symphony. Henry fucking Fox. He’s going to hope that her favour doesn’t involve him, but Alex figures he can’t really be that lucky. -------- Alex wins a date with Henry, but in order to even slightly enjoy it, he'll have to get over his hatred for him.
it's all me (just don't go) by weather_stained
Alex has been trying all summer to manage his grueling internship and other commitments without impacting his relationship with Henry. When he misses a date night, he worries it could be the last straw.
if evil, why so cute? by everwitch
Alex’s cat hates Alex, but loves Henry, the Bookstagram influencer who’s on vacation in Alex’s quiet seaside town. And while Alex is pretty salty about his grumpy cat’s inexplicable affection for a complete stranger, he must admit he can see the appeal; Henry is fucking gorgeous. It’s why Alex follows him on Instagram in the first place. It's just, Alex had never thought he’d be officially introduced to Henry by his own goddamn cat. Or: Henry takes a two-week vacation to a seaside cabin with the intent to read a lot of books. Instead, he has a lot of sex.
Jumped the Gun by lovelythething
"Well,” Henry says, measuring his voice carefully, “there’s a first time for everything.” Alex, in reply, screams into a pillow.
secret moments in a crowded room by HypnosTherapy
Henry smiles, something settling in his expression when he sees Alex. “Hello, darling-” “I felt up your employee,” Alex says, the words rushing out of his mouth. Henry blinks. “I thought Angus was you, and I grabbed him by the hips, and it was weird as shit, I’m sorry.” Henry has the nerve to smirk, rolling his eyes. “He really is an excellent double,” he says, reaching out to pat Alex consolingly on the shoulder. __ After getting a concerned call from the man's PPO, Henry makes an effort to ensure his body double Angus is getting properly socialized. Alex is hesitant to spend time with the Henry-shaped clone, but he quickly finds himself getting charmed by the man. Angus gracefully slides from strange phenomenon to friend. And then something more.
it's you (it's always been you) by coffeecatsme
“You mean to tell me you named your vibrator after another man because you thought the pun would be funny?” Alex names his vibrator after Han Solo and Henry gets jealous.
come pick me up by smc_27
‘I’m here for you’ He can tell that the person will receive that as a text message as well as in the app, which is a relief because sometimes people like, order rides then absolutely pay no fucking attention to the app. It’s really annoying to have to wait forever for folks. ’Thank you. I’m going through a difficult time currently, so this means a lot.’ Alex stares at the message he received, frowning, and then another comes through. ‘Apologies. I’ve lost all my contacts. Who is this?’ Oh, Christ. This is going to be awkward as fuck. ’This is your Uber driver. I’m outside.’ OR, Alex is an Uber driver. Henry needs a ride the airport.
titles are the worst, we refuse by athousandrooms, clottedcreamfudge, everwitch, indomitablelove, railmedaddy
The paparazzi, a friend, their classmates, a true enemy. Alex is no stranger to telling people to fuck off, it’s a daily occurrence; but when it’s Henry who does it? Alex couldn’t be prouder. — 5 times Alex tells someone to fuck off and one time Henry does.
Gym Buddies by cmere
"I'm Henry," the guy offers. Alex pushes up one rep, then another. The blood is rushing to his face as he powers through more, and seems to be rushing elsewhere as well, because there's undeniable arousal pooling in his groin from the exertion. He struggles slightly for a moment, then, and instead of taking over like Alex expects, his new best friend Henry starts—talking. "That's good, so good. Perfect, can you give me another?" Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Sweat pours down Alex's forehead as he pushes the bar back up off his chest. "Beautiful, just beautiful. So good for me. There you are, love." Henry helps Alex settle the bar back on the rack, and Alex exhales in a rush, his heart thudding almost painfully against his chest. Fuck. PUMP Gym is notorious for gay guys cruising, and Alex wants to hook up.
To Show Our Love by bleedingballroomfloor
With Henry and Alex in the midst of moving into their new home together, Henry reflects on Valentine's Day and what the holiday meant to him growing up closeted in the palace, and more so, the new meaning that Alex brings to it.
Cosmos in His Palms by AnchoredArchangel
“I’ve been thinking,” Henry says quietly, “almost constantly, about your list.” Alex blinks because, well, his list hasn’t had this kind of traction in years. The Google trend must be spiking off the charts. Henry bites at his own lower lip, turning the blush pink a tortured white, admits, “About the things you want to do-” Oh. That list. Or: Alex discovers that talking to Henry is just as nice as having sex with him, or at least, pretty close. A perfectly timed revelation when he finds himself in desperate need of a heart-to-heart.
Fox. Henry Fox. by Pondermoniums
Alex had seen the guy around campus, sure. He was hard to miss, but Alex never said out loud why. For everyone else, being the son of the famous James Bond actor made him a celebrity enough. But for Alex, Henry Fox just…stood out.
wanting by rizcriz
It slammed into him with the force of a semi truck out of the blue on a random Tuesday in July. the AC was out; they were sprawled out in the living room in nothing but their boxers, complaining about the heat and threatening to off their landlord in a million different ways. Alex was on the floor, Henry was on the couch, one leg draped over the back, his arms thrown up over his head. Henry had said something; something absurd and hilarious and Alex can’t for the life of him remember what it was, because all he remembers is lifting his head off the floor, and catching sight of that shining head of golden hair caught in a sunbeam and thinking— And thinking. God, I love him.
you all over me by stutteringpeach
When Henry organises an evening of group sex, he never expects to meet a gorgeous man he wants to marry and have children with. Or, a meet-cute at a sex club.
tripped and fell into this bed by @priincebutt
“What, hate sex with my ex who chose his duty to his country over me? I’m not interested.” “Are you sure about that?” Henry’s voice is curious, genuine and raw, because he can hear the hesitation behind Alex’s words, the way his sentence structure is crumbling with wanting to say yes. It hasn’t been long enough for Alex to be moved on, and Henry doesn’t know if he wants Alex back, or if he just wants to have some really fucking good sex, which he’s not had since the last time he’d been with Alex. It had been a bold move, but he doesn’t regret it. And he internally cheers when Alex lets out another dramatic sigh. “Fine. Where are you staying and when should I meet you?” Or, Henry broke up with Alex when he stormed the castle, then booty calls him months later at Paris Fashion Week.
if you want me to tag you in future lists for whatever reason, just let me know, and i'll see you next week!

Thanks for the tags, @blueeyedgrlwrites and @hippolotamus !!
The universe said, “you thought things were getting better? Bet.” And threw me the week(end) from the ninth circle of hell. But we persevere, and I’m happy to say that the anniversary fic needs a few more lines of aftercare and then some bracket filling and it should be ready. Here’s a few sentences from that!
Behind the cut for the spice.
“Oh fuck yes,” David says in tandem with Patrick’s moan. “You fill me up so well.”
“David!” Patrick cries out. David’s not sure he’s capable of any other words right now, but he’s going to find out.
“How does it feel, honey?” David asks, increasing his pace. “Do you like your gift?” At first, Patrick can only whimper and hold onto David’s hips. But then David pinches one of his nipples and growls, “Tell me how it feels, Patrick.”
“Ah, fuck, David, it feels—it’s so good,” he babbles. “I’m so full, it’s so big, and you’re so—ah!—tight, it’s so fucking good, David, I think I’m going to come.”
“You’re not.” David is fucking himself on Patrick’s cock in earnest now, and he doesn’t slow down. “Not until I say you can.”

this year i will fall
RWRB | E | 9.8k
a gift for @villiageidiot as part of our annual snowflak fic exchange which has been one of the highlights of my year these past three years 💖
Henry has many regrets in his life, but leaving the ice rink after a literal run in with the potential love of his life without even obtaining his name may be his biggest. With his family visiting for the holidays for the first time and ever-present work deadlines looming, he's too busy to think about how to engineer his own happy ending worthy of the novels he edits.
But what if fate has other ideas?
read on ao3 (and be sure to check out the other fics in the don we now (more) gay fanfiction collection)
I always say that these things take a village and i need to thank @welcometololaland and @celeritas2997 for always leaving the best comments in the doc and @kiwiana-writes for their help with the pretty new text coding that I used in the fic. I also owe @howtosingit about a thousand fruit baskets because not only did he title this fic (as usual), but he helped me plot the whole thing and very patiently read a draft then talked me off a ledge when I was panicking and threatening to delete a big chunk of what I’d written 💖💖

Director's Cut: you must know I'm gonna ask about Octo!Henry. I am who I am.
MY BELOVED OCTOHENRY -- rambling about him is a fucking gift, @kiwiana-writes, and I thank you for this.
So, two decisions happened in pretty rapid succession at the end of last September -- first, I decided that I was going to participate in Kinktober, and second, that I was absolutely not going to waste the opportunity to use the "tentacles, consentacles" tag double-whammy on Ao3. From there, I very quickly connected with a friend on Discord who, as it turns out, knows a fuckton about octopi. With their assistance, I went down my first research rabbit hole about things like:
How octopi reproduce
Which species of octopi do not yeet their octopeens (hectocotyli) at their mates and flee the scene so they don't get eaten
Of these very few species that aren't prone to flinging their dicks like wiggly, suckered javelins, which were the prettiest/flashiest
And then a deep dive into the prettiest species of non-tentacock-lobbing octopi to narrow it down to one: the blue-ringed octopus (AKA the spiciest boi).
I had a couple assumptions right out of the gate: Alex would be just as clueless in this fic as he is in canon, for one. This allowed me to have Henry drop some really obvious hints that he's Not From Around Here while Alex is still just so awestruck by how pretty his new friend is that he completely sails past the hints. For two, once he figured it out, Alex was going to have his crisis about attraction to men and men with tentacles (or at least Hentacles?) faster than Usain Bolt can run the 100m dash. This second piece was a bit of a necessity since I was cranking out a new smut fic every day during that month, so there was no time for additional world building or angsting about Alex's new partner not having legs at the time.
While writing the smut, I read a lot of Actual Scientific Research on octopi in general and specifically on blue-ringed octopi to make sure I wasn't totally making shit up. In the process, I learned so many fun facts about the blue-ringed octopus, including:
Male/male mating is not uncommon -- several sources suggest that male blue-ringed octopi have no preference for the sex of their mating partners.
Their skin is soft and very slick; it's coated in a slippery substance that protects them from bacteria and also allows them to slip into narrow spaces easily. 😏
The blue rings only really show up boldly when they're aroused (horny, excited, or scared). Otherwise, depending on the subspecies of blue-ringed octopus, the rings are either faintly visible or look sort of brownish.
You really don't want to touch blue-ringed octopi IRL unless you're super into being poisoned to death. (This translated into Henry being really into spicy human foods. 🤣)
Sperm packets (spermatophores) are an Actual Thing that's common across a lot of invertebrates, including octopi and squids -- Alex saying “You didn’t mention that your cum had texture,” is because he wasn't expecting there to be any sort of structure to Henry's octojizz.
I also flagrantly ignored the thing where once a male blue-ringed octopus has successfully mated, he dies, because again -- octoHenry is my beloved.
I'll stop here, but I could literally talk about octoHenry for hours! I'm so excited to start working on the sequel this fall. 🥰🐙

WIP Wednesday
Thanks for so many tags! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite dialogue I've ever written—if you're in the Brownstone server you may have already seen this.
It's a snippet from @affectionatelyrs birthday fic ("Gonna Save Me, Call Me Baby"), which will be shared next Thursday, but someone was a dick to her so I decided to give her an early sneak peak.
Henry shudders, thinking about Mary Mountchristen around sharp objects. No, thank you. “Even if I wanted to give her a gift—and I don’t—she’d find some reason to be horribly offended by them.” “Offended?” Alex’s face contorts in confusion—it’s quite charming, Henry thinks. But then again, he thinks he might find everything about Alex charming. “By knives?” “I mean, I think it has more to do with my mere presence,” Henry muses, leaning back against his front door. “She might worry that I’d infect them with my gayness. But, I suppose it’s also possible she might think I was implying that her collection of silver cutlery is somehow inferior to a modern set. And she’s not a great fan of modernity.” “Well,” Alex casually starts, though there’s a fierce look in his eyes. “I’m not a great fan of anyone who’s a dick to you.”

Sunday Six, December 17th, 2023
Hehe, I'm nice and early so I'm gonna tag the shit out of a few people! After sharing my Sunday Six, of course, so here's a bit of my Christmas fic for you!
He’d missed two calls from Nora, vaguely feeling his phone buzz in his pocket, but he’d been too enthralled to care. All he could think about was getting Henry out of that stupid costume and into his bed. He hadn’t even hesitated to approach him as soon as the gift-giving event was over and Henry hadn’t really thought twice about the offer either, accepting immediately. Alex had expected to take him home, fuck him until neither of them could feel their legs and then send the guy on his way. What he hadn’t expected was the massive, uncut cock and the fucking nipple ring.
I'm tagging @magicandarchery @wordsofhoneydew @anincompletelist @kiwiana-writes @ninzied @violetbaudelaire-quagmire @winderlylandchime and a special tag to @bigassbowlingballhead because I know you've finally started writing! No pressure of course ♥
EDIT: omg I forgot to tag @eusuntgratie! Can't believe the audacity, sorry love! I definitely want your Sunday Six, haha! ♥

hello my friends and pixels, my birthday is this weekend 🫠 and I will be off this hellsite (affectionate) to spend some quality time with folks...so I won't be flitting about this week reblogging or posting any sentences (also because i am literally running out of usable snippets. i need to get my ass in gear and WRITE). Here are the last two posts I made with any snippets from this fic as well.
as an early bday gift from me to you (not a lot LOL sorry), here are two extremely cursed snips from proposal au i wrote back to back at 4am in a stupor that are...very tonally different lol. I love bitchy Henry so much.
tags below the cut for people who have screamed at me very kindly about this fic. I love you so much, and it makes me want to write it. 💛🥹💛🥹

WIP Wednesday
Happy Wednesday! :) Featuring a new banner
I haven't been very active on here recently so thank u to everyone for the tags over the past few days @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @happiness-of-the-pursuit @inexplicablymine @anincompletelist @littlemisskittentoes @leaves-of-laurelin @kiwiana-writes @rockyroadkylers @14carrotghoul @wordsofhoneydew
I'm giving y'all a white elephant gift exchange fic for this holiday season - enjoy this snippet from the cold open of Gonna Give You Something (So You Know What's on My Mind)
Henry, to put it as succinctly as possible, is so bloody confused. “If you want a pair so badly, buy ‘em yourself, Holleran!” Alex shouts. Nora groans, stretching forward to attempt to grab the lingerie out of Alex’s hand as he raises it further above his head. “But these ones are free. And sexy too—nice pick, Pez.” Pez blows Nora an air kiss, dramatically extending his hand outwards. “Thanks, sweet cheeks.” Alex pretends to gag. “God, do not use the word sexy when it’s within a degree of separation from my sister, please and thank you.” June shrugs her shoulders from across the circle, making eyes at Nora. “I dunno. I do think that they’d look better on her.” At that, Alex leaps up from his cross-legged position on the floor and covers his ears with his hands, the lace of the underwear getting pressed between his hand and face. “Gah! My ears! Someone make it stop!” Nora grabs Alex’s ankle, trying to trip him back onto the floor. “Only if you hand. Them. Over. Alejandro.”
Tagging everyone that tagged me in various things and @welcometololaland @myheartalivewrites @cricketnationrise @rmd-writes and @read-and-write-

Thanks @welcometololaland @kiwiana-writes @three-drink-amy @celaestis1 @daisymae-12 @jesuisici33 💖 getting in while it’s actually Wednesday here for once! If all goes to plan, I may not be able to share much with you between now and Christmas - I’ll be writing for some fests/fic exchanges which mean I need to keep those fics anon for now, and there’s only so much of Call Me (By My Name) that Lola and I can actually share for Reasons ™️
But for now, have this little snippet from our collab:
And maybe, just maybe, TK spends a small amount of his time at scenes ogling Carlos. What else is he supposed to do, when Officer Reyes struts around scenes like the utility belt slung around his hips it’s weighted? Or when his ass is just presented like the navy-wrapped gift to the world that it is? He has eyes. And those pants cannot be regulation.
TK generally prides himself on having a good radar and he will eat his metaphorical hat if Officer Reyes is not queer. No straight man would bother having his uniform tailored for a fit like that.
It’s not like he’s doing anyone any harm by checking a hot cop out. Carlos is just there and he’s got those arms and a great ass and pretty brown eyes and sometimes he gets this crease between his brows and—

weekend WIP game
thanks @welcometololaland for this fun game (the perfect way to spend my saturday night 😂) and @kiwiana-writes for the tag ❤️ I only have one art WIP right now so I opted to do the writers questions !!
Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more). (questions for artists/gifmakers here).
1. WIP List: ok this question made me actually label my WIP's because they're all just titled "Fic #1", "Fic #2" etc in my google drive 😅
Roommates/College AU
5+1 bestfriends to lovers [Alex accidentally keeps friendzoning Henry lmao]
Supermarket meet-cute (but not cute because Henry manages to piss off Alex)
Fake Dating/College AU [inspired by how my husband and I met]
Vampire Henry
Artist Alex [Bea commissions a gift for Henry]
Canon Divergence from Kensington
Roommates AU ft. stardew valley
Coffee Shop AU
Canon Divergence from Lakehouse
Neighbours AU
Fake Dating/High School AU [also inspired by how my husband and I met lol]
2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?
Fake Dating/College AU !!
3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?
Fake Dating/College AU - it's the only one so far that I've made an outline for because I think it'll be long-ish 😂
4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?
Right now it's my Vampire Henry fic ❤️ enjoying it because I'm not struggling too much to write it - and the ideas have been coming easily 😌
5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?
ooo probably the two canon divergence ones? mostly because they'll probably be the fics with the most angst - yikes
6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?
gosh - all of them? I haven't published new fanfic in over 6 years so it's definitely been nerve wracking even sharing snippets over here for wip wednesday 😅
7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?
Maybe for the longer fics? I'm not sure if I will! We'll see if I ever get to writing anything long enough 😬 I am sort of warming up to the idea of google doc cheerleaders? I dno, I'm such a slow writer though so it might stress me out 😂
8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?
yess the Roommates/College AU - this was the first rwrb fic I started all the way back in June LAST YEAR 😭 I wrote bits and pieces of the first two chapters and still haven't picked it back up since 😩 I've also hit writer's block with the 5+1 - I thought this would be the first fic I'd publish for rwrb AND the first fic I'd ever finish but I got triggered when writing one of the scenes which shocked me because I didn't expect it to? I'd even say this fic is light-hearted but yeah I had to stop. Hoping to finish writing that one after Vampire Henry though !!!
9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?
ooo so far the only fic with an OC is Fake Dating/College AU but I can't say more without spoiling 👀
10. Which WIP is the sexiest?
Everything is such bare bones atm, so I truly don't know 😂
11. Which WIP is the angstiest?
Probably Canon Divergence from Kensington 😅😅😅
12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?
Hoping the characterisation is ok on all of them but right now they're all so short still that I can't pick one out 🙃
13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?
Gosh I am BAD at this - will probably end up being the Coffee Shop AU because cafes are my second home but we'll see 😅
14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?
As of right now - been working the hardest on Vampire Henry fic but I anticipate it'll be outdone by Fake Dating/College AU - that one will take me a long time to write based on the outline I've done 💀
15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?
ahh I'm not sure! Maybe Fake Dating/College AU? I can already tell that fic is going to be my baby and I hope everyone will like it too
16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?
Not really but I do daydream about them in the shower 😂
17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?
hmm not sure since everything is still quite bare bones so I'll answer this next time !
18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?
Right now - Vampire Henry 😅 but not really ??? but yes the most in comparison to everything else so far LOL
19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?
Nope but I do want to write a fic with an outside POV one day!
20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.
Vampire Henry fic will probably be the first fic in a series 😬 I have ideas for a sequel OR extra scenes that will be ficlets 🥰
Yay that was so much fun! Love reading about everyones wip's but no pressure ❤️ @myheartalivewrites @heybuddy-drabbles @read-and-write- @suseagull04 @gwiazdziarka @adreamareads @sprigsofviolets @cultofsappho @anincompletelist @lizzie-bennetdarcy @notspecialbabe @littlemisskittentoes @happiness-of-the-pursuit @affectionatelyrs @heartitinthesilence @inexplicablymine @raysletters @tintagel-or-cockleshells @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @sherryvalli
