Can I request something for your one shot collection?

Some sort of gathering at Michael and Alex's house and Michael has an alarm set for a certain time and when it goes off he demands everyone leaves cause now it's HIS Alex time

@brittz-2123

***

              Michael was casting looks at the clock, and Alex had no idea why. He supposed it was a nicely done invention, an antique grandfather clock they’d picked up at a tiny, out-of-the-way shop that Michael hadn’t known existed until Alex pointed it out and which he’d fawned over in a very unexpected but pleasant way. So it’s possible that Michael just couldn’t get over the fine craftsmanship, but Alex knew his husband, and he could’ve sworn Michael looked . . . antsy.

              They sat together on the couch, Alex’s leg slung over Michael’s as their friends chatted around them, snacks and beers on the low coffee table at the center of their little circle. It was just Kyle, Isobel, Max, Liz, and Rosa here, and there was plenty of space for them to stretch out on the couch, but they had hardly sat down before Michael was tugging Alex onto him, as though he were a comfort blanket.

              He slid a hand over Michael’s on his thigh, and leaned in, murmuring, “You okay?”

              Michael blinked. “Yeah? Why?”

              Alex nudged his chin at the clock. “You keep looking at the time, are you waiting for something?”

              Michael smiled innocently, and Alex’s suspicions rose. “Yes,” was all he said, and went back to staring at the clock.

              Alex was about to ask what he was missing when Kyle told him something and he was pulled into conversation. It felt like ten minutes had passed before a shrilling screech went off. Alex jolted, but Michael wrapped an arm around his waist.

              ���It’s me, it’s just me,” he said easily, blatantly smiling now. He shut the sound off with a press to his phone screen and declared, “All right! Quality time’s up, everyone out!”

              A collective groan went up from the others, and Alex pinched the bridge of his nose.

              “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he said, “you set an alarm?”

              “I’m sorry I want to spend my night alone with my husband,” Michael said, completely unapologetic. “I guess I just care too much, my bad.”

              “You’re an idiot,” Kyle said flatly.

              “You spend every waking second with him,” Rosa complained. “We want to see him too!”

              “Michael,” Alex started, “maybe—”

              “Nope, no,” he shook his head, standing. “This is not up for negotiation, I love you all, but I love my husband more, so get out!”

              There were grumbles as everyone pushed themselves up, clearly aware that Michael was not going to give up his alone time easily, and it was just simpler to give him what he wanted. Alex shook his head, unable to help his smile when Liz demanded, “Are you at least keeping him hydrated? His body can’t take all that alien-handling, Michael.”

              Michael smirked, unperturbed. “He can take it fine. OUT!”

              “Let him eat first, you absolute psycho,” Max warned.

              “Alex,” Kyle called over his shoulder, “text me afterwards, yeah? I need to know you’re still alive!”

              “We’ll see you for breakfast at the Crashdown tomorrow,” Rosa teased.

              “GET OUT!” Michael snapped, locking the door behind them.

              Alex smiled, his head on the cushion. “You know Max and Isobel can just use their powers to open it back up, right?”

              “Then they’ll see more than they wanted to,” Michael huffed, yanking off his jacket and tossing it aside.

Truth of My Youth lyrics below

there was a time and place where I never thought I'd leave my own hometown but those days finally are dead and gone it was never my intention to stay there, oh no

there was a conscious effort played by me to disown anything I see there was a girl I knew way back when who says she doesn't know me anymore

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone

there were countless hours on the telephone my ears were ringing from the dial tone there were flashing lights, people staring there was nothing I could ever do

these are the lies the things you never mention these are my past mistakes I'll stay away from this is the truth, the only time you'll hear it I'll write it down because it seems so hard to say it

these are my thoughts written down on paper it's my only savior from not saying what I want to say

these are the thoughts that are on my mind moments that haven't yet been defined and I don't know if you could ever understand these are the things I can't say when we're alone

1, 2, 13, 16 for the gaming asks :3c

HI MALEX :D

ask 1 ive got answered for brostateexam on some that he sent me, this is what I wrote

1. Last game you finished

i am like pretty sure it was dark souls. ive been playing a Bunch of stuff on and off for the past 3 or 4 months but dark souls was one that i stuck to and i beat it with my caster character naomi in like early march

2. Game(s) you’re currently playing

ok oh god. okay i SAID i was playing a bunch of games on and off but truthfully i have Started a bunch of games and have not finished them and my heart isn't too set on touching back on them. some im ok with that and others i feel like i should get back to them

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (JP) [dead/i should get back to it]

i stopped playing this in like late february and i definitely want to start playing it again. it has been more constructive for me for practicing japanese because it is just a bit less dense than other games like path of radiance. i think i like only finished the first little arc though LOL in the forest w the caterpillar boss

Super Mario Galaxy (JP) [dead/i should get back to it]

i got pretty far here! i think ive 100%ed everything up to the bedroom. there's not much i can say about what ive practiced with this game besides it was a nice refresher/maintainer; there's furigana for the kanji and all the characters speak in unique ways that are still digestible

Dark Souls (again. as a cleric) [dead/its ok i got like more than halfway through so it'll be fun to pick up again whenever i do]

after i beat the game with naomi i like immediately started another file as my cleric madeline. its been really fun with her and ive been enjoying using ultra great swords/lightning magic with her. iiiii got the lordvessel and i saved the cleric in the tomb of the giants, and i made it to the ash lake and the painted world for the first time this playthrough

Sonic Riders (JP) [dead/its ok i unlocked aiai&nights&ulala]

it is very very interesting playing japanese sonic because some of the characters have like very different personalities. sonic is more like, Cool Dependable Upstanding guy who like shouts stuff in english sometimes (ALL RIIGHT/Hey !), where I feel like english sonic is a little bit more of an rascal

amy is like a LOT more "cute". like english amy is like scary and Her Own Girl but jp amy is just like more sweet (for the record i feel like english amy is a lot more engaging and fun (I love lisa ortiz amy))

WAVE is like SO interesting, i feel like english wave is so bitchy and mean (love and respect to her all the same) and jp wave is still Mean but she's so much more cordial and polite, she's kind of like a gentleman about it and still offers respect to the people she speaks to

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic [dead/IM SAD ABOUT IT BUT I CANT DO ANYTHING]

i had been playing it for joey and he was Loving it and i was loving it too because i just love that game, but after i saved bastila the game started like crashing non stop. i did some troubleshooting/research and it turns out discord streaming and kotor just Do Not mix well. we had to give it up and im so sad. i had a demolitions/security dual wielding blade girl named DYNA BLASTER and she failed every single speech skill check

Stardew Valley [alive]

me and joey have been touching on this with our collective farm the past few weeks. its hard because his work and where he lives tires him out so bad, so he just needs to sit back and rest more than he can play games with me, but were in the beginning of the summer right now and things are going well. i am like being a spreadsheet farmer making max profits while he's got his strong variety of crops at his place so we can actually complete the bundles. we didn't realize we had access to the mines until the end of spring though LOL

Valkyria Chronicles [alive]

I will have joey fall asleep to me playing games and after kotor stopped working this is what i picked up. i like this game a lot, a lot of the uh.. the voice acting can annoy me (SOMETIMES i really like it) and how lightheartedly the game depicts war and racism irks me, but i love love love love how the game plays. its fire emblem but you're down On The Field doing the work and its very engaging

13. Quick, name the first song from a game that comes to mind

oh fuck ok well the first thing that came to mind was the metroid prime theme LOL

16. A game you’d like to replay that you haven’t

oh oh oh omg??????? I wanna replay crash bandicoot 2??!!!! i played it all the time as a kid when we still had our playstation like 1999-2001 and i remember the girl with her tiger and there was like a level with hot air balloons. i have slowly been building more and more motivation to get to it and this is like doin smth. time to add another game to the currently playing list

THANK YOU BRO bitch im gonna send u some........

Fanfic Origin Story

Tagged by the lovely @bekkachaos. Thank you for the tag. Sorry I'm so late.

What was your first fandom (reading and/or writing)?

I was once and forever a shawol (fan of Kpop group Shinee for those who don't know), and started of reading and writing for Shinee back when I was 16 on asian fanfics and falling down a rabbit hole of fandom. My ships were 2min (my OTP!! Minho and Taemin), Jongyu (Jonghyun and Onew), and Onkey (Onew and Key).

What was first story you ever wrote.

It was for the Joonew fic (Joon from MBLAQ and Onew from Shinee) which surprisingly wasn't even my OTP. This is probably all really weird for people who don't know the 2nd generation Kpop bands.

What's a piece of advice you would give your younger fic writing self?

Write what you want, just have fun. It's not about how many comments or kudoses or even who reads your work. It's about you and how happy it makes you.

What’s an early fandom interaction that stuck with you (be it a nice comment , a friend you made, a fic that got a lot of feedback)

I think my favourite early fandom experience was that my twin and I used to make posters and book trailers and although it was a lot of work and we could only ever take 10 requests per release. I loved doing it. Unfortunately we both got way too busy to do it anymore.

Post a sentence or two from an older fic and a sentence or two from a newer one (if you want)

From a million flowers may bloom. A westallen story set in 1940s. Its from 2015 so I still consider it old.

The thing that struck Iris about working in a newspaper was no one wanted her to do anything important. The most they let her do was organise the articles or run reports from one journalist to another. But she was itching to write. Her editor brushed it off, giving her more menial tasks. That’s how she was stuck trying to organize a photographer for the new crime journalist.

Barry Allen, the new journalist had just transferred in after working 3 years as some sort of hotshot consultant with the cops. Iris was a little peeved that a man that had little journalistic experience was already writing pieces before her. But what could she do, her college degree seemed to mean nothing in the long run.

From against a rule set for us by time. My most recent malex time travel story.

Instead of answering, Alex just sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he collected his racing thoughts. The silence only served to heighten Michael’s anxiety. He had jumped the gun and now Alex was going to feel awkward around him - or worse - hate him. 

Alex doesn’t have to regret this, he reminded himself – he could undo it.

Realisation quickly followed by panic washed over Alex’s face. “Don’t go back!” Alex’s hand returned to Michael’s chest to stop him as if he could hear his thoughts. He looked afraid.

Tagging these lovely beings if they feel like it💕 @4ever-the-nme @theartofdreaming1 @alex-guerin @heart-like-paper

Malex Collection 11

Prompt from Phan_lovergamer on AO3: Michael goes to see Alex at the end of the season finally instead of Maria.

Alex had his limits. Spending more than four hours outside Michael’s trailer, waiting for the other man, was definitely that limit. He limped his way to the coffee machine, the Twilight Zone music playing in the background. Damnit, sitting in those shitty chairs for that long really messed his leg up. Alex was half asleep. At least, that’s the excuse he gave for dropping his coffee cup as someone knocked on his door.

“Shit! Shit, ok, hold on!”

Swearing under his breath, he stepped over the spilt coffee and broken cup, making his way to the door. Was that Guerin? Oh, what the hell? He abandons Alex for four hours outside his camper and then has the gall to show up at the cabin. Swinging the door open, Alex glared at the other man.

“You have some nerve Michael Guerin to come here and –“

“Alex. Please.”

“Michael, oh my God, are you ok?”

He’d never seen Michael cry before. He took Michael by the wrist, leading him into the house, sitting him on the couch, Alex made him a sweet mug of tea. Alex had seen shock before, he knew what to do. Handing him the mug, Alex gasped when he saw Michael’s hand. Michael let out a bitter laugh, when he saw where Alex was looking.

“Yup, Max did that.”

“Oh my God. That’s good?”

“No, it isn’t! He didn’t even ask permission. Just, typical Max, doing whatever he thinks is right and screw everyone else. And, Christ, I can’t even stay mad at him because he freaking well died bringing Rosa back to life!”

Alex collapsed on the couch beside Michael. God, this was a lot to take in. Ok, Rosa was somehow alive. And Max was died. So, really a game of two halves for Liz. Alex made a mental note to ring her first thing tomorrow. For now, his main concern was Michael. Taking a deep, calming breath, Alex wrapped an arm around Michael’s shoulder, pulling the sobbing man closer. Michael rested his head on Alex’s shoulder, trying to muffle the sound of his sobs

“Oh Michael, sweetheart, I’m sorry.”

“I’m so angry at him Alex, that’s what’s killing me. He put Liz before us again. Bringing her sister back to life was more important than being here for me and Iz.”

Michael stood, pacing around the room. Looking at him, Alex knew he was on his last nerve. He’d been killed, or as close as you can get, felt his brother die bringing his girlfriend’s sister back to life and had to deal with the fact that his brother in law tried to kill him. Knowing that Michael wouldn’t listen to him and there was nothing he could do right now, Alex went to the kitchen to make another cup of tea. He handed it to the still pacing Michael, who mumbled a thank you to him.

“I know nothing I say will be good enough right now, but we will fix this Michael, trust me. If Max can revive people, what’s to say you can’t?”

“And you’ll be there right?”

“Of course I will Michael. I will always be by your side. I love you.”

“I love you too. I am feeling really tired Alex. Did you put something into this tea?”

“Would you sleep otherwise?”

Michael smiled, knowing that Alex was right. The other man still knew more about him than even his siblings. He allowed Alex to lead him to the bedroom, smirking as the other started to strip him.

“Don’t even think about it Michael. You’re massively emotionally compromised and drugged. I am no taking advantage of you. Tomorrow, when you’ve rested, we’ll about everything.”

“Everything? Even us?”

Pressing a soft kiss to Michael’s lips, Alex pulled the covers over his body.

“Everything Michael, I promise. I love you.”

“Love you too.”

Alex watched Michael sleep for a few minutes, needing the reassurance that he was safe. He was pulled away by a knock on the door. Seeing a very dishevelled Kyle, Alex wondered if another sleeping tablet was necessary.

“Alex, I have so much to tell you.”

“Yeah? Same here. Come on in, we have a lot to talk about.”

A/N I’m sorry if you were hoping for a massive declaration of love or something, but even without Maria, these two do not have the healthiest/best relationship and need to have some serious conversations

[pastelwitchling]

Hi! I have binge read your first one shot collection again so get ready for some requests. (My current tv show just disappointed me in the worst way so I need some Malex, Kylex, and Forlex healing via reading your work) I wanted to request a Kylex epilogue for chapter 25. I love how vulnerable Alex let's himself be at the end of the story. Thank you!

@pluckygazelle

Sequel to this fic.

***

Alex and Kyle sat in Kyle’s car, waiting at a stoplight that had long since turned green, but as there was no one else on the road, they felt in no rush to get wherever they were going. The night was officially ruined, and Kyle wished he had some magic words to help Alex feel better, but the memory of Michael’s words, Michael’s eyes on Alex, the anger and plea in Michael’s voice, was beyond any comfort Kyle could give.

It didn’t matter who his actual boyfriend was, Alex’s kryptonite would always be Michael. There was no getting past him.

“Do you want to talk about it?” he offered, and Alex, staring outside the window, merely shook his head.

“Alex,” he sighed, “it’s okay.”

“It’s not,” Alex said. His brows were pinched, his lips pursed. Kyle used to interpret that look as Alex thinking hard, but he’d learned a long time ago to see the remorse alongside Alex’s train of thought, the pain that encompassed it all. It was a complicated feeling only Michael could bring on.

It’s okay, Kyle told himself. You knew what you were getting into. It’s Alex, and Alex is always worth it.

He took Alex’s hand, and kissed his fingers until the tension in his shoulders faded.

Alex finally slumped against his seat and heaved a sigh. “I’m sorry,” he whispered.

“Don’t be sorry.”

“He shouldn’t get to me this much.”

“But he does,” Kyle said simply. “I know. It’s okay,” he repeated.

“It’s not,” Alex repeated as well, turning in his seat to face him. “Kyle, it’s not. Stop making excuses for my . . . my . . .”

“Your what?”

“My weakness,” Alex confessed quietly.

“Are you kidding me?” Kyle asked, turning to face him, too. “Alex, you’re the strongest person I know. Look, I didn’t want to say this, mostly because it’s a real hit to the ego—”

“Don’t break up with me,” Alex said at once, covering Kyle’s hand on his with his own, squeezing hard. “I swear, I won’t—I won’t talk to him again, I won’t go near him again—”

“Whoa, slow down,” Kyle cupped his jaw. “Slow down, baby. I’m not going to break up with you.”

Alex clenched his jaw, eyes glassy and resigned. “What’re you calling it then? Freeing me? Letting me go? Making me happy? I’ve heard it all before.”

“Alex—”

“That’s what you’re going to say, isn’t it?” Alex said. “That Michael and I are cosmic soulmates and should be together, right? That we’re destined for each other and no one else will ever measure up, and any other crap way to tell me who I’m supposed to love and who I’m supposed to be with—”

“Stop.” Kyle slid a hand into his hair, forcing Alex to look at him instead of letting him fade away in front of him, back into his dark thoughts. “I am not abandoning you to some guy that won’t treat you like you deserve.”

Alex’s eyes focused, and his lower lip trembled ever so slightly. Terrified to hope. “What?” he croaked.

Kyle let his hand fall down to the nape of Alex’s neck and massaged the area until Alex stopped looking like a cornered kitten, expecting trouble and both prepared and terrified of fighting it.

“I do think you and Guerin love each other,” he said, and as Alex opened his mouth to argue it, Kyle cut in with, “But I know you love me, too.” Alex clamped his mouth shut, but nodded vigorously, his hand squeezing Kyle’s tighter as he leaned in an inch. The small hopeful gestures made Kyle’s lips quirk. “And yes, I think you and Michael have some kind of cosmic soulmate destiny that keeps you together.”

His expression turned serious as he went on, “But cosmic means jack if he doesn’t show it, Alex, and he doesn’t show it.” He dropped his hand from the nape of Alex’s neck to the small of his back, pulling him. “I show it, and I’ll keep showing it. So yeah, I know about you and Michael, and I know how important he’ll always be to you.”

He kissed Alex’s hand. “But I also know that if we’re ever going to break up, it’s not going to be because of me. I had to say that you love each other out loud because the day you say it is the day we end this. And I don’t know when that time will be—”

Alex was already shaking his head. “It’s not—”

“I don’t know when that day will be,” Kyle insisted, “but I don’t want it to be today. Not now.” He brushed the back of Alex’s hand with his thumb. “Not yet.”

Alex searched his face, somehow able to hear what Kyle wasn’t saying. That he didn’t want to see Alex try to lie to himself. Someday, when the time was right and Michael finally got his head out of his ass, Alex would choose him. Alex would always choose Michael over the world.

And yet, when Alex’s fears settled and he took Kyle’s hand and whispered, “I love you, Kyle,” Kyle took all the comfort he needed in it. For now, Alex loved him. For now, Alex was his. And that was good enough.

He’s worth it, Kyle believed with every cell in his body. These moments will always be worth it.

Couldn’t help myself 💜

***

“You can’t just take what’s not yours, Sanders,” Alex says, walking up to the curly-haired boy sitting on the tailgate of his beat up old truck with a stolen guitar sitting in his lap.

“You can when you’re trying to get someone’s attention,” Michael answers with a smirk, fingers plucking a familiar melody on the strings.

Alex rolls his eyes, stepping closer until he’s standing right in front of him.

“Like you need help with that,” he says, pulling the guitar from Michael’s hold and laying it gently on the truck bed beside him.

Michael’s hands find a home on Alex’s hips, his fingers sliding into his belt loops. It’s a little public, but Alex finds he doesn’t care. He lets Michael pull him in closer, leaning in those extra few inches to meet Michael’s lips in a kiss that’s as soft as it is sweet. Alex sighs happily into it, crossing his arms over Michael's shoulders.

“Do you want to come over later?” Michael asks against his lips. “My dad’s making burgers.”

"You sure he won't mind if I crash dinner?" Alex asks, unsure.

"Of course not," Michael assures him. "He loves you almost as much as I do."

[flintsjohn]

the thrilling saga of alex being exasperated by michael’s antics

[islndgurl777]

ALSO ALSO I am super happy for Alex. So glad he finished writing his song and sang about loving a boy and then felt brave enough to kiss a different boy even though he had literally been singing TO The Boy In Question a minute before and looked really sad and confused when said boy left boy in a bar full of redneck cowboys. Love that journey for him.

But that journey best be headed in Michael’s direction next season.

[space-malex]

Place your bets: are we going to hear Alex call Michael by his first name to his face by the end of the season?
