Top three queer books for sleepover Saturday? xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
MJ you have no idea the can of worms you've opened because my initial response was "but what genre" so i'm running with it because books are my most favorite topic.
adult
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun
Conventionally Yours by Annabeth Albert
special mention: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (included because it's obvious, but also because it led me to reading more queer books and landed in my lap exactly when needed it)
young adult
Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (i also enjoyed the movie adaptation)
Anger is a Gift by Mark Oshiro (not queer MC, but still queer rep & author is queer)
memoir
Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies by Michael Ausiello
Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body by Roxane Gay
let's do sleepover saturday!

YEARS OF DREAMS JUST CAN'T BE WRONG
by @kiwiana-writes
[rated (eventual) E]
“Obviously I don’t know Prince Henry, Jesus. If I did, I’d be ten million pounds richer, for a start.” Twice a year like clockwork, ex-Queen Mary, now the Duchess of Washington and holed up in one of her cousin’s royal properties in London along with her daughter and two remaining grandchildren, pops up on social media to remind the American population of the reward on offer for her younger grandson’s safe return. There have been literally dozens of fake Henrys over the years, all hoping to get their hands on the cash, all soon finding themselves on the wrong side of treason charges. He looks at Nora’s computer screen again, fingers drumming anxiously on the desk as he tips his chair back on its rear legs. “I’m telling you, though, I know that guy.”
[An Anastasia AU.]

3:15am, anywhere in the Brownstone, Alex or Henry (or both) follow your bliss. The vibes are “Sleep Please Come To Me” by Matthew Barber — I’m not projecting, you’re projecting. As spicy or not spicy as you feel like. xoxo MJ/kiwiana(-writes)
First of all - thank you for introducing me to Matthew Barber! How does he get his voice to do that?
Second of all - mwah I love you, I wrote you some words about it
want your own ficlet? read more here.
❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙
3:15am, the brownstone
For all it’s the City That Never Sleeps, New York is quiet outside Henry’s window. It’s possible that the bulletproof glass windows are responsible for the unnatural hush, but Henry wouldn’t be surprised if somehow the entire metropolis got together to go to bed early on purpose, just to taunt him. Just to leave him alone with his thoughts. Just to really highlight how bad Henry’s insomnia is—and how much worse his insomnia has gotten even after finally being allowed to leave the palace.
It feels like some sort of cosmic punishment, a cruel joke: Henry gets out from under Gran’s immediate influence, gets to put a bloody ocean between himself and his biggest stressors, gets to choose how he lives for the first time in his life—and he still can’t sodding sleep. 
Henry’s been actively trying to sleep since one in the morning, and it's sometime after three now. He’s tried his usual tricks of Bake Off and chamomile, even tried reading Dickens of all people. Normally, something either works by now, or he’s wired enough to realize sleep won’t come at all and he’ll grab his notebook and write until the sun comes up. Tonight, Henry is stuck in this heinous limbo—too awake to sleep, too tired to push through to morning. The real trouble is, Henry knows what would work. 
Or who would, rather.
But that someone is clear across Brooklyn, tucked into his own apartment, out of Henry’s reach.
Intellectually, Henry knows it’s a good idea for him and Alex to live alone for a bit before moving in together. It will benefit them both to figure out who they are when they’re alone, away from their families and roommates—who they are as single entities. But it does gall at times like this, when Henry knows that if Alex was spending the night, he’d already be asleep. 
If Alex had been here tonight, they would have eaten pasta on the couch, done the dishes side by side, sneaking light, loving touches between bites and passing clean dishes off to be dried with a kiss. If Alex had been here tonight, they would have retreated to the study for a few hours, Alex to his readings and case studies and papers, Henry to his plans for the shelter, his manuscript, his email updates for Bea, and the poetry he wants to surprise Alex with for his birthday.
If Alex had come to the brownstone tonight, Henry would have pulled Alex away from his laptop with a gentle hand in his hair, a tender kiss against his neck, a murmured plan of putting his mouth somewhere distinctly lower. Alex would have tripped in his haste to pull Henry up the stairs, would have thrown Henry’s good jumper clear across the room, desperate to get his hands on the dip of Henry’s waist, would have covered Henry’s body with his own, and met every movement of Henry’s lips with matching passion and love.
If Alex was spending the night, Henry would be curled around his boyfriend right now, soaking up his warmth, pressed so close not even a hair could get between them. If Alex was here, their legs would be tangled together, he’d be able to match his breathing to Alex’s, he’d be able to feel Alex’s heartbeat beneath his hand. If Alex was here, Henry could pull Alex on top of him, could let himself be covered and surrounded by his boyfriend, could drift to sleep with the faint smell of cinnamon in the air.
If Alex was here tonight—
There’s footsteps on the stairs, a creak of the floorboards on the landing, and then his bedroom door eases open. Henry’s brief tension melts away as a shaft of moonlight reflects off a chain necklace he knows better than the back of his own hand — the key and ring strung through it glinting in the pale blue light.

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.
READ HERE
A crack fic that grew a plot and feelings.
This is the first in my bakers dozen of “12 Fics of Giftmas”, a series of gifted works to people who have made my first few months writing/in this fandom just that much brighter. The rest will grace your screens during the actual 12 days of Christmas!

Roop I am SIDE EYEING THE BEA ONE so "henry is once again down horrendous for alex in another fucking universe. but this time he's a masochist and writes alex love letters on behalf of a girl because he's a fucking idiot" xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
MJ MY BELOVED HELLO
AHHHHHHHHHH THAT IS QUEERANO!!!!!!!!!
my cyrano de bergerac au where henry is paid to write love letters to alex on behalf of amber who has a crush on him LMAOOOO
here's an old snip i shared a long, long time ago:
“But somehow you know you are in love with him? I’m not judging you,” He absolutely is. “I’m just trying to understand.” “I guess…I can’t stop looking at his curls in class. They’re so glossy and bouncy. He keeps gatekeeping his curly hair routine and I’m so mad at him for it! And I love to hear what he has to say whenever he raises his hand. He always has great things to add. I think of him when I wake up and when I go to bed and—” “I’m not sure if all of this constitutes being in love, though.” Henry rubs harder at his temple. The headache is slowly but surely making its way to his left side, and he’s getting irritated. “No, it’s definitely love. I think about him all the time! It’s definitely more than a crush. I’ve had crushes before and they’ve all stopped because the guys are so dumb. But Alex…Alex is so different.” Amber has a dreamy expression on her face. Henry doesn’t want to discourage her, not when she’s willing to pay him for something he could do in his sleep. So, he continues. 
i gotta get back into this one fr it is so fun and cute and yearnyyyyyyy
thank you my friend <3
p.s. the bea one is...a movie au you will recognize hehe

🤎 for Eurotrip my beloved OR down for the count, whichever floats your boat xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
hello mj! thank you for this ask!
🤎 Brown: How did you decide to write (or why are you writing) a certain fanfic?
hm. yes. eurotrip. how did i start that? to be honest, i can't quite recall. i think the impetus behind it was to take all the ridiculous travelling experiences i've had over the past decade and put those boys in the same Situations. if the fic ever gets posted, i will not tolerate anyone being like 'that definitely didn't happen' because i can assure you, it did (i mean 99% of it is fictionalised or embellished but i do have a lot of inspiration, mostly drawn from my own stupidity).
down for the count was based on a movie! i have no idea why i decided to write it though since it involved MATH and i hate math. also, i didn't know how to play poker, so i had to learn. also, i had to learn how to count cards. all very useful skills!
thank you for the ask!!!
based on these asks

14, 15, 22! xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
thank you MJ!
14. How many wips are you taking into next year?
answered here
15. Are there are other writers or artists who have inspired you?
ABSOLUTELY. GOD there's too many to tag!! there's been so much good fic to read lately which makes me want to read but also want to write and i'm just asldkfl;asdkjfalskdjfj @lostcol @puckingfabulous @matriayawrites @beggingwolf @jbarneswilson @onward--upward @bigassbowlingballhead @getmehighonmagic @magicandarchery @bartbarthelme @violetbaudelaire-quagmire @ninzied @anincompletelist @kiwiana-writes @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels @firenati0n @yabagofmilfs i'm forgetting a lot too but here's a handful whose work makes me go AHHHHHHHHHHH, which makes me to want to write write write 🥰
22. Will you change anything about how you plan or post fics next year?
in general, i write whatever i want whenever i can and post as soon as its done, unless its for an event, and i don't plan to change that.
i am planning to start posting my first chaptered fic in awhile next year, and i think i want to have more done before i start posting than i did last time. i've only written 3 chaptered fics. one was for a bang and was completely done and then posted all at once, one was slightly planned and written and posted chapter by chapter as i went. my last one i had a pretty solid outline and i mostly stayed two chapters ahead until the end. for this one, i want to have my outline really solid and have at least 25-50% written before i start posting. i'd love to have at least half, but i'm impatient so i don't know if i'll be able to stick to that. i'm rambling, and i guess the answer here is that i'm not quite sure what i'm doing, but probably something a little different than what i've done before.

You MUST know I want to know about 5,000 anguished texts and {redacted} email fic because of who I am as a person xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
Okay, so...5,000 anguished texts is going to be a gift fic specifically for @whimsymanaged who has discussed with me the part of Casey's annotations that quotes this moment:
“Outside Kensington Palace, Alex takes Henry’s phone out of his hand and swiftly opens a blank contact page before he can protest or sic a PPO on him for violating royal property.”
Followed by Casey's note of: The funniest part about this scene is the absolute panic Henry must have felt when Alex grabbed his phone, knowing one wrong move and Alex would open up Henry’s 5,000 anguished texts to Pez about the whole weekend.
So...do with that information what you will.
AND THEN
The {redacted} email fic is literally done and staring at me from the WIPs folder, ready to be formatted properly, but I keep going back and forth on whether I want to wait until spring to post it because it's set in the spring. Let's be real, my impatience will get the better of me and I will post it sooner rather than later.
What I CAN share is that it is a very important, very singular email received by both Alex and Henry on a very special day.
Thank you for asking, friend!

5 & 16 xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?
There's this super angsty song two strangers by kerrigan and lowdermilk (best known performed by Morgan Karr, Matt Doyle and Jay Armstrong Johnson) that i've been in love with since I first heard it when I was 20. And I see this angsty world where it's alex and henry. I just don't have angsty in me to write. At least, not that i've discovered yet. So that idea sits on the idea doc as a wistful, angst ridden dream.
by all means, if anyone listens to this song and feels inspired PUH-LEASE take the idea and run.
16. At what point in the process do you come up with titles?
It varies, sometimes it comes to me with the idea. Sometimes it comes to me while writing. The last time, I got all the way to sending it to my beta reader and realizing I still didn't have a title. In fact, none of my current started wips even have titles.

13 & 23, xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
hi friend! thanks for the ask! I need to send you one, I wasn't paying attention to who I reblogged it from.
13. First fandom you ever wrote for?
the first one i ever published something for was teen wolf. those were simpler, weirder times. less weird than the time i tried to write self-insert criminal minds fic without realizing that's what it was lol.
23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?
so fun fact: i used to do these writing exercises on here where, whenever I was blocked, i'd put out an ask for "what ifs". like, imagine this character as a dad, what would that look like? what if they had a different profession, didn't have this major life event, etc.? those were the kind of prompts i enjoyed because it got me writing and thinking and also because there wasn't like...a deadline or anything, just pondering for fun. i'd really love to go back to doing that. for bigger projects i tend to go with my own ideas which generally oscillate between "this is funny but what the fuck is wrong with your brain" to using fic as a vehicle to work through my own shit.

I have already harassed @cha-melodius about the hockey fic though you are of course welcome to share more BUT as it IS FOR ME please feel free to talk about "coming on fast like good dreams do" because it DOES in fact live rent-free in my head.
For you, I have my personal favorite bit from the hockey madness outline (I'm purple btw):

I would tell you more about "coming on fast" but its literally your birthday present so I'm keeping that one in the vault 😘

5, 9, 21 for the fic writer end of year thingy whosit whatsit, positive vibes all up in here, xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes
5. What have you improved on most this year?
Knowing when something isn't working. Instead of plugging away at an idea I realised it was never going to be what I thought it could be and so, alas, a fic was abandoned at the beginning of the year. Maybe lines, scenes, and concepts will be re-used but I have finally stopped flogging the proverbial deceased horse.
9. What's a scene you wrote this year that you're particularly proud of?
There's a scene in the last chapter of "the small road of a mind trying to clear itself" which I had been excited to write ever since I came up with the idea. In the therapy session Carlos tells TK that he wants their life to be perfect and TK basically challenges this concept perfection. It came out better than I'd imagined and I love how natually it flowed when I started writing.
21. Not a question, but a challenge! Say something nice about your writing!
When I manage to put stuff up, I think it's pretty good. And I think people don't mind waiting for my fics. (I will finish this Firstprince Super Secret Project. I promise.)
