TikTok Video – Alex’s 2nd Chance Review of *Brideshead Revisited*

@acd.chronicles

(Video opens with Alex sitting on his couch with the book in hand, this time marked with tabs and notes. He smirks a little, clearly referencing his earlier statements)

Alex

"Okay, so last time I talked about *Brideshead Revisited*, I... wasn’t exactly kind to it.

(He chuckles softly, flipping through the book’s worn pages)

Alex

“I said it was a story of rich people being sad in castles, and honestly, I stand by a lot of what I said.

"But—Henry, you got me. I reread it, and yeah, I noticed more this time. I have... thoughts."

Alex

"So first off, I’ll admit, Waugh’s ability to write emotional nuance, especially between two men, is something I didn’t appreciate as much the first time around.

“There’s something undeniably beautiful about how Waugh captures queerness through subtext.

(He opens the book to an annotated page)

Alex

"'Perhaps all our loves are merely hints and symbols; vagabond languages scrawled on the walls of caves.'

“And honestly, it’s kind of... heartbreaking, seeing how much is left unsaid because it had to be, for so many reasons."

(Alex pauses, nodding as if considering the layers more)

Alex

"But here’s the thing—while I can appreciate the beauty and complexity of these relationships, I still stand by what I said in my first video.

“We do need to look at these stories critically, especially classics that were written in a different time. *Brideshead* unequivocally centers on the lives of wealthy, white, privileged characters.

“We can appreciate the artistry while also recognizing the limits of who gets to tell these kinds of stories and why they’re still held up as ‘the best we’ve got.’

“It’s important we keep pushing back on this idea that classics should be held up without critique.”

(Alex sets the book aside and smiles, wrapping up on a lighter note)

Alex

"Anyway, shoutout to Henry for making me rethink things, and I’ll admit, this second read gave me a lot to think about. Peace and love, y’all.”

TikTok Video – Henry’s Review of *The City We Became* by N.K. Jemisin

@SonnetAndSpice

(The video opens with Henry sitting in a cozy setting, soft lighting, with a cup of tea steaming beside him. He smiles warmly at the camera, adjusting the book on his lap before glancing back up with a calm but enthusiastic expression)

Henry

“Hello, everyone. Welcome back to *Fox and Folio*—though today, we’re taking a bit of a detour into the future. And by ‘future,’ I mean N.K. Jemisin’s *The City We Became,* which… well, Alex might’ve just introduced me to a new all-time favorite.

(Henry chuckles softly, holding up the book with an unmistakable glimmer in his eyes, his expression like he’s still processing how much the story resonated with him)

Henry

“So, for those who haven’t read it yet, *The City We Became* is this brilliant mashup of urban fantasy, science fiction, and social commentary. It’s—well—it’s a lot of things, but most of all, it’s alive.

“It’s about New York City becoming alive—literally—and how each borough has its own avatar, these human embodiments that represent the city’s diversity, its grit, and honestly, its soul.

“The way Jemisin creates this rich, living tapestry of New York, while also exploring themes like gentrification, systemic racism, and community—it’s nothing short of genius. It feels… urgent, you know?”

(He takes a thoughtful sip of his tea, as though collecting his thoughts for a moment, then continues with a softer tone)

Henry

“The characters aren’t just representing the city—they’re *fighting* for their boroughs, for the identity of their communities. There’s this brilliant quote in the book: ‘Cities are not people, but something else altogether: cities are alive.’

"And what Jemisin does, beautifully, is show us that cities are made of the people who care for them. The ones who’ve been here the longest, the ones whose voices we need to hear most. That idea just… stuck with me."

(He runs a hand over the book's cover, a brief pause as he looks down, processing the weight of the subject)

Henry

“I’ve only been here a short while, but every day I’m more aware of how the city’s history, and its people, shape it into what it is. How painful it must be to see it change—forcefully, and sometimes, without care.

“And to be honest, it’s something I think about constantly. I’m… aware that I’m part of that problem, just by being here.”

(His voice grows a bit quieter, more introspective, as he acknowledges the weight of his own role in the city)

Henry

“This book doesn’t try to tell you how to feel, but it does ask you to *see*—to see what’s really happening, and to be mindful of your place in it.

"Jemisin doesn’t preach—she just opens your eyes. And... I think that’s the kind of narrative we need more of."

(He leans back slightly, his usual calm demeanor returning, though there’s an undeniable intensity behind his words. His passion is clear, but it’s delivered with a gentle grace)

Henry

“I genuinely think *The City We Became* is one of the most exciting, thought-provoking books I’ve read in years. If you live in New York—or even if you don’t—it’ll change the way you look at cities, at communities, and at identity itself. It’s just... something I can’t recommend enough.”

(Henry shifts slightly, a playful smirk pulling at the corner of his mouth as he continues, making sure to credit Alex)

Henry

“Of course, credit where credit’s due—thank you, Alex, for pushing me to read this. I don’t think I’d have picked it up on my own, but I’m *so* glad I did.”

(He smiles softly, a bit sheepish but sincere, his gratitude genuine)

Henry

“And thank you, N.K. Jemisin, for writing a story that feels so deeply resonant. You’ve truly created something remarkable.

“As always, let me know if you’ve read it—and what you thought. I’d love to hear your perspectives on this one.

"Until next time—happy reading, and cheers."

(The video ends with Henry leaning forward slightly, giving the camera a final, knowing smile)

but i’ve kissed your mouth, that corner, that place it goes, so many times now. i’ve memorized it. topography on the map of you, a world i’m still charting. i know it. i added it to the key. here: inches to miles. i can multiply it out, read your latitude and longitude. recite your coordinates like la rosaria.

[louisferrignojr]

my favourite part of watching red white & royal blue was pausing the discord stream that 8 other people were watching (i apologised btw)

because i started laughing so hard when the scene cut from the first son of the united states getting down with the prince of england

to this shot of the washington monument

people in the chat like "scene too hot" but no. i was on the floor laughing at the dick metaphor. i will be laughing about this until the day i die, actually.

"That's the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose." 🤧

[darcyolsson]

shut up you're telling me the reason that blond man from the rwrb movie looks familiar is because he was in HANDSOME DEVIL???? !!???? well thank god he finally got to violently make out with another man. long overdue

[waterloo-carte]

Fractions of seconds may be the same, but it’s amazing how in each form of editing, the context of the scene can be changed completely.

[i-choose-him-on-purpose]

I have so many songs that fit Alex and Henry and I want them all to be fan edits but my brain just sort of short circuits at the excitement and I just end up in a creative paralysis in bed blasting my First Prince playlist instead. It’s tragic honestly.

Thaaank you @firenati0n , @heybuddy-drabbles and @wordsofhoneydew the tag, and I canNOT wait to read everyone's WIPs when they're all finished!! I don't have a ton of WIPs since I'm taking this month a little slowly for my mental health, but I HAVE started a Friends AU, so here's a little snippet from my first one shot for that!

“I’ve gotta break up with Juliet. Again.” Alex tosses his phone onto the kitchen table then thunks his forehead down on it, letting out an anguished sigh. Juliet, his on-again-off-again girlfriend, is trying to get serious with him. It’s the third time she’s brought up meeting each other’s parents this week, and Alex has zero intentions of bringing her around his family. He doesn’t even really like to bring her around his friends, but they all live within a one-block vicinity of each other, so that’s close to impossible. Juliet was a one-night stand that stuck around. At first, she was sweet, but her obnoxious laugh and nasal-y tone got old fast. So over the past five months he and Juliet have gone on a smattering of dates because whenever Alex feels lonely, it’s easy to text her, grab some dinner, and get laid without having to go to a bar and pick up someone random. This past stint was because of Valentine’s Day – all of his friends had dates lined up except him. He refused to be the only one going solo for the holiday of love, so Juliet had gotten a text the week before because Alex didn’t want to look that desperate, and now it’s the first of March and somehow they’re still seeing each other. Again. Nora’s nose wrinkles, and she pets Alex’s head consolingly. “I didn’t realize you were still seeing her,” she observes. Alex tilts his head to look up at her, his eyes wide and pitiful. “It’s hard to dump someone after you used them for a Valentine’s Day date.” “That’s fair,” Nora agrees as her fingers card through Alex’s hair. She’s fussing on her phone with her other hand, nose wrinkled as she sends a text. “I need to break up with Nigel, too.” She heaves a sigh and Henry looks back from his seat on the couch, one eyebrow arched. “You’re still seeing Nigel?” His tone is slightly judgemental, and Nora gives him a sharp look. “Nigel is incredibly good in bed, thank you.” “And that’s fair,” Alex agrees with her. He finally sits up and shoots Henry a scowl as he grabs his phone back. “We can’t all have perfect boyfriends who bring us roses and take us out to fancy dinners, alright Henry?” Alex’s tone is bordering on whiny, mostly because he’s wondering when the hell it’s going to be his turn. Juliet isn’t working out, but he can’t decide if it’s worth being alone again. “Hey, we should break up with them together!” Nora suggests, her eyes alight at the idea of a conjoined uncoupling. “I’ll tell Nigel to meet me at Central Perk in an hour.” Alex sits forward and nods enthusiastically. “That would be great! I hate breaking up with Juliet, she never fucking takes it well.” Alex hurriedly taps out a message to her, asking to meet at the coffee shop on the first floor of their building, and turns back to Nora, disregarding the dirty look Henry’s shooting them both. “Perfect, he’s meeting me there in an hour.” “This is going to be so much fun!” Nora claps her hands, laughing a little as she slaps Alex’s forearm, her eyes bright. “Isn’t it a little masochistic to be excited for a break-up?” Henry calls from his perch on the couch. Nora and Alex’s eyes meet, and Alex’s eyes roll in exasperation as Nora lets out a puff of breath. “You’re such a mood killer, Hen,” Nora says as she sticks her tongue out at him. Percy’s head pokes in from the other room where he’s folding laundry. “Henry? A mood-killer? Never!” With a knowing grin shared between the three of them, Nora, Alex and Percy share a laugh at Henry’s expense, who looks thoroughly displeased as he turns to glare at them. “You’re all terrible!” He chides as he faces the TV again and turns Days of Our Lives up. “Now let me watch Pez’s scenes in peace!” “Yeah, let the man admire my talent and grace!” Percy cries. 

Going to go ahead and tag @firstsprinces and leave it open to anyone who may want to participate!!

"Turns out being on the receiving end of Henry's royal authority is an extreme fucking turn-on. He thinks, as he's hauled into a bruising kiss, that he'll never forgive himself for it. So, like, fuck the moors."
