wip wednesday (firstprince project edition)

A few Fridays ago I teased the pet project that’s eaten every second of my free time for months. And in honor of the birth of everyone’s favorite obtuse fucking asshole, I’m posting a more formal sneak peek of the things coming very, very soon. Fellow FirstPrince peoples, may I humbly present the…

As I mentioned, this project is a collection of keepsakes and custom ephemera all about Alex and Henry. A full rundown of what’s included in both the Curated and Complete Collections will be available when the launch goes live, but here’s a closer look at some of the selections and a few details.

Both collections have custom components, including the ability to build your own charm bracelet and pick which signet ring you’d prefer (an accurate replica of the movie’s “H” monogram or a book-influenced Mountchristen-Windsor crest).

The ephemera included in each collection tells a story of its own, following major milestones in Alex and Henry’s relationship timeline from first meeting to happy ever after. The various pieces have been gold foiled, holo-stamped, custom-designed, painstakingly replicated, and professionally printed (because I’m extra like that).

The perishable items are paired off in the Curated Collection — you can choose between Henry’s Earl Grey and Alex’s obleas con cajeta, or Alex’s cinnamon-spiked Mexican coffee and Henry’s Jaffa Cakes. (The Complete Collection comes with all four.)

The veladora art comes courtesy of the impeccable @ambiguouspenny, who also did a very special second piece for the Complete Collection (which you can get a little glimpse of above).

There’s a stash of vintage Jane Austen hardcovers just waiting for that Henry Fox bookplate.

The sad thing is, this isn’t even everything. I can’t wait for y’all to see the pieces I’ve saved for the launch, and exactly where and how that second @ambiguouspenny piece comes into play.

Since this sneak peek is bowing on one March birthday, it seems only fitting to drop the full reveal for the other. Ordering will officially open on March 27th. I’m just wrapping up the last little housekeeping things (in other words, please stand by while I photograph all forty charm options individually), but If you’d like to be notified when the collections are live, please drop your email here. No spam, I promise.

It’s the final countdown! Happy birthday, Henry.

Just a little heads up for my known FirstPrince mutuals: @rmd-writes @welcometololaland @orchidscript @firstprince-history-huh @three-drink-amy @liminalmemories21 @anincompletelist @never-blooms

Switching gears for a Halloween fic I’ll hopefully have out this week 🥰 happy Sunday y’all!

Most importantly, TK and Carlos have their Día de Muertos ofrenda set up on the table behind the couch, with framed pictures of Gwyn and Gabriel, a white veladora between them. There’s vibrant papel picado hanging around the edge of the table and a sugar skull vase with bright, orange Mexican marigolds erupting from the top. As their own personal touch, Carlos has his dad’s Ranger badge in front of Gabriel’s picture, and TK has set out one of his mom’s handwritten cookbooks and a vintage jewelry dish with her ear cuff stack, her other favorite earrings, and her grandmother’s engagement ring. A wooden rosary hangs off of Gabriel’s frame while a Star of David hangs from Gwyn’s. In front of the candle, there is a plate of pan de Muerto and challah.

Carlos surprised TK the first time he’d set the altar, their first Día de Muertos after Gabriel had died. He came home to his husband hanging papel picado around the table behind the couch and saw the framed pictures of their dead parents. TK didn’t expect his husband to include his mom in his culture, but he did. Carlos asked TK if it was okay and TK didn’t fully grasp what this symbolized then, but he does now.

“It’s more than okay,” he told Carlos. “As long as it’s okay my mom wasn’t Catholic.”

“That doesn’t matter,” Carlos shook his head, wrapping an arm around TK’s waist. “The ofrenda is to remember our loved ones. Show them we’re always thinking about them.”

Carlos asked TK to pick out things that belonged to his mom he might want on the altar, and neither of them had a dry eye as they set it up.

They set it up again the same way this year, together, mixing their culture and their religion into one beautiful altar to honor their loved ones. It’s TK’s favorite area of all the decorations in the loft. He thinks it’s Carlos’s favorite too.

Thank you for the tags @ironheartwriter @heartstringsduet @nisbanisba and @eclectic-sassycoweyes !!! 💕

A veces se siente que los años se han llevado mi inspiración, mi romanticismo entre los daños, mi disciplina entre lo huesos, a veces se siente que vivo una vida que no planee, que mis sueños se apagaron entre porros malhechos y veladoras de panteón.

Había encontrado un cierto atisbo de paz, al menos eso me hizo sentir la costumbre de no tener a nadie a quien mirar. Estaba en un lugar en cuyo centro yacía el árbol de la aceptación y bajo su sombra reposaba. No sé en qué instante me entró la idea de moverme de ahí y buscar, entre el verdor que me rodeaba, una salida a lo que otrora me había parecido el paraíso. No sé, pero busqué... y encontré una puerta. Esa puerta estaba abierta, ni siquiera tenía un cerrojo, sólo una perilla sencilla que podía abrirse con el viento. Parecía que el mismo lugar deseaba hacerme salir de él para aventurarme a más y dejar de compadecerme por la dichosa paz que creía haber alcanzado. Dudé, aun con toda esa verdad escribiéndose en mi mente, abrir la puerta, pero lo hice como un acto reflejo de lo que en el fondo sentía. La paz me sabía a flor de Cempasúchil, a veladora, a rezos y santos Rosarios... y me había hartado de eso. Quería salir, explorar la vida, recordar lo que era ser embriagado por la vid del caos y emborracharme de dolor, de esas emociones amargas que envenenan la sangre. Sí, fue por eso que salí y me sumergí en otro mundo... en otra vida... en otro tiempo... para, una vez más, volver aquí, añorando el descanso eterno del que ya no debo jamás salir.

I had found some semblance of peace, at least that made me feel the habit of having no one to look at. I was in a place in the center of which lay the tree of acceptance and under its shade I rested. I don't know at what instant I got the idea to move from there and look for, among the greenery that surrounded me, an exit to what had once seemed like paradise. I don't know, but I looked... and I found a door. That door was open, it didn't even have a lock, just a simple knob that could be opened with the wind. It seemed that the place itself wanted to make me get out of it to venture further and stop feeling sorry for the blissful peace I thought I had achieved. I hesitated, even with all that truth writing itself in my mind, to open the door, but I did it as a reflex act of what I felt deep inside. Peace tasted like a flower of Cempasuchil, a candle, prayers and holy Rosaries... and I had had enough of it. I wanted to go out, to explore life, to remember what it was like to be intoxicated by the vine of chaos and to get drunk on pain, on those bitter emotions that poison the blood. Yes, that was why I went out and immersed myself in another world... in another life... in another time... to, once again, return here, longing for the eternal rest from which I must never leave.

"Quizás en el otro lado tú me estás prendiendo una veladora pa' que me alumbre los pasos

Quizás también me vas a preparar mi mole que alimente mi corazón hambriento de nuevos amores

Quizás allá me pongas en un altar un jarro de chocolate bien cargado para que vuelva a saborear el dulce de la vida

Quizás me hagas un camino de flores para ya no sentirme tan perdida, y entre papeles de colores me arropes el alma herida

Quizás tú vas a celebrar en noviembre un "Día de los Vivos" y convertida en mariposa festejaras que yo aquí sigo resistiendo y bajarás del cielo un ratito para acompañarme en mi duelo eterno..."

Happy birthday to Xie Lian, from his most devoted believer.

This week I was happy listening to music when Caifanes' Antes de que nos olviden's lyrics started to hurt. I thought to maybe make a Short with the end of it for Julián, and here it is!

Aunque tú me olvides Te pondré en un altar de veladoras Y en cada una pondré tu nombre Y cuidaré de tu alma

Como buena católica (igual que Checo) le hemos prendido su veladora al viejo sabroso para que nos eche la mano mañana.

In grand celebration of ACD’s birthday, the Red, White & Royal Box is officially live!

The RWRBox comes in two separate sizes, and each is chock full of FirstPrince jewelry, collectibles, and custom ephemera. Full details are available in the listing, but here’s a peek at each box, as well as a few of my favorite things.

Both boxes have decorative inside lids. The Curated Collection box sports a stylized “you and me and history” quote alongside firework art reminiscent of the collector’s edition cover, while the Complete Collection features a framed FirstPrince portrait by @ambiguouspenny, backed by architectural sketches of the White House and Kensington Palace and flanked with yellow and English tea roses.

(It is literally impossible to do that portrait justice in a photo. I keep trying, but it honestly has to be seen in person for full impact. The veladora art, meanwhile, has been my lockscreen for months.)

The canon ephemera was painstakingly recreated from real-life examples. There was no Wimbledon in 2020, obviously, but Alex’s gold-foiled pass is based on two recent tickets to the Royal Box. For Henry’s gold-embossed invite to the White House, I studied past State Dinner invitations until my eyes crossed (and went through four rounds of typesetting revisions to find the perfect Copperplate font). And as for his little souvenir from the Olympics… that was based on an actual ticket to a Rio 2016 diving event (not the finals, but still — I swear you can find anything on the internet if you just go far enough down the rabbit hole). Dates on the tickets are completely book accurate.

Both pieces of post-canon ephemera feature messages from Alex to Henry. Had to lean into my fanfic roots somehow.

Each bracelet comes with a set of standard charms by default (their initials, a wedding cake, a love letter, and either an aquamarine — their joint birthstone — or a silver heart and red, white, and royal blue glass pearls). Customization-wise, there are almost forty additional charms to choose from.

The silk ipê-amarelo blossoms are from vintage garlands made by a local vendor and sadly not available anymore. Which is tragic, since they’re absolutely perfect.

With a few exceptions (the trinket box, room spray bottle, noisemakers, and portrait frame) the non-print items included in each collection were all sourced from small businesses and independent creators.

The stash of vintage and antique Austens amassed for this is probably out of control. They’re all hardcover and in fantastic condition, and span all titles (though it is, admittedly, pretty P&P heavy). The latest is from 1980, but the earliest thus far is that amazing pocket edition of Sense & Sensibility, which is from 1913.

The linen & room spray is skin-safe, though (for me, at least) it’s much more an atmospheric scent than a wearable one. For the record, the notes are “bergamot, clean linen, fresh cut grass, roasted coffee, a dash of cinnamon, and a whisper of smoke.” One of these days I’ll stop spraying my room down with it every night before bed.

Henry’s journal is covered in grey suiting tweed and has a tiny silver fox foiled on the cover, which makes me irrationally happy every time I see it.

Alex’s (lurid teal) “Hoe Dameron” kimono is fully embroidered, not screen printed. It does indeed have pockets. :)

I know I’ve teased this project twice already, but after months of building it bit by bit, it’s amazing to have it done and out in the world. I love these boys, and I’m so excited for the fandom to see everything inside. And to anyone who actually does order a collection, i just want to say thank you here — as a multiracial AfroLatina with my own ally to questioning to queer journey, Alex and his story mean so much to me, and I loved getting to bring it to life in this way.

You can find the Red, White & Royal Box here, with a full breakdown of what’s included in each collection.

A portion of each sale benefits the Broadway Youth Center, which provides basic needs, health and social services, and gender-affirming care to LGBTQ+ young people here in Chicago experiencing homelessness and housing instability.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away — my comments and inbox are open. :)

(And for my fellow Tarlos folks: you’re up next.)
