#rwrb tattoo

“But beneath it all, there's the Prince of England kissing him under a linden tree in the garden, moonlight in his hair, and Alex's insides feel positively molten, and he wants to throw himself down the presidential stairs.”

My Oscar Wilde x Red, White and Royal Blue tattoo

I've been thinking of getting a tattoo representing the Oscar Wilde quote 'With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be happy' for a while, and then I figured out to incoporate RWRB into it and that was it.

The RWRB references are as followed:

You had a yellow ipê-amarelo in your pocket. (top left flower)

I pressed it into the leaves of a silver maple and recited it to the Waterloo Vase (bottom left leaf)

But beneath it all, there’s the Prince of England kissing him under a linden tree in the garden. (bottom right leaves)

imagines Henry lying opposite in his own bed, two parentheses enclosing 3,700 miles (on the book spines)

“Oh, yes,” he says, “yellow rose of Texas, is it? I read that was a thing. Thought it might be good luck.” (flower on the book spines)

“Looking for Orion,” Henry says. (right at the top)

I guess that makes you the North Star? (beside the moon)

A daffodil is the birth flower for March, also the flower of Wales, and very helpfully my favourite flower. (middle left flower)

Lavender to represent Henry and the gay community. (top right sprig)

A trillium to represent Alex and the bisexual community(and also myself.) (middle right flower)

Done by the awesome Joanna Webb at Luck Struck Tattoo in Deptford, London.

My tattoos have been waiting for August their entire lives.

Happy Pride Month! My sister and I got our first set of matching Red, White & Royal Blue tattoos today. Because I wanted Alex and Henry to be a permanent mark and reminder of my history and the love I have for them, and the love I have for myself because of finding myself represented in so many ways by them.

"When they write the history of my life, I want it to include you, and my love for you."

"History, huh? Bet we could make some."

I want you to put down roots

In lieu of posting anything for WIP Weds (thank you for all the tags!!) I humbly offer my new tattoo parlor/ flower shop fic!

Read the first chapter here!

Preview:

“If you’re here to rob me you’re doing a poor job of it.” He said, his lips turning into a slight smile that made Alex’s head spin. He had a British accent and Alex found himself wishing the man would continue speaking so he could hear more words curl around those lips. "I only have bulbs and dirt, nothing of interest."

Flirting it was. "Don't sell yourself short, I'm sure plenty of people would want to steal your dirt." 

The man snorted, a sound which Alex found incredibly endearing. "At least I'd know you'd suffer, carrying all these bags of dirt away. You'd be sore for days." The man stood and offered Alex a hand, which he readily accepted. 

Alex swallowed back the comment that he'd rather be sore from something else. He had some decorum after all. "Then I supposed it's a good thing I'm not here for your dirt. I'm here to welcome you to our little neighborhood."

Thinking about Alex and Henry getting tattoos when life has quieted down a little and then can get away with it without their families' judgement

Secret little sigils of their love

There's a fic, I can't remember which, where Alex gets a tattoo of "yrs" in Henry's handwriting, and I like that a lot.

But I also love the idea of Henry getting a key- Alex's key. Or they could each get the long string of their lover's initials.

They get the ink somewhere that no one will see. Maybe it only sees sunlight when they rent a private beach and lay on the sand for hours, tracing dark lines with ocean-pruned fingertips.

They never worry about the curse of couples tattoos, because they've felt forever about each other for forever.

Ink it in on my skin, sign me up, make it last against the time

For my addition to the Hey Sweetheart event put on by @ficwip, I'm including my FirstPrince Valentine's Day fic! While there aren't any warnings associated with this fic, please do check the tags as well as the note at the beginning of the fic for mention of something that I wanted my readers to be aware of going in.

“Okay, then,” Alex says, and Henry can’t help but smile at the hint of mischief creeping into his voice, “there’s two weeks until Valentine’s Day. We each have that long to make it happen, and we’ll do a big reveal that night. Deal?” Flecks of gold are shimmering in his copper eyes. Henry leans forward, catching Alex’s lips to seal their accord. “Agreed.” OR Alex and Henry both decide to get tattoos.

And as always, thank you all for reading!

Thank you for the tag @0npurpose

On this wonderful Sunday, I can offer you a few sentences from a WIP about Alex as a tattoo artist.

———

“I’m starting to remember how you got me to make a lot of questionable decisions in uni.”

“Hey now, you slept with the entire rowing team all on your own. I would readily claim that as a personal victory because it was glorious but alas, I had nothing to do with it. That was all you. Which brings me back to my original point: If you’re free to do anything, is your choice really to change nothing?”

Henry looks back at the website. Images of the studio are still rotating on a loop. He navigates the cursor back to the drop down menu and skips over Tattoos straight to Piercings.

A click leads him to the photo of a young woman with dark skin and short black hair, smiling at the person behind the camera. Henry’s gaze catches on the small metal rings adorning her nose, lips and eyebrows.

To be expected considering her profession, he supposes.

Nora Holleran, Professional Piercer the title states, followed by a short description of her personal background and a rather long list of certificates and industry achievements. They’re the same age.

Henry wonders what his list would look like if anyone had the guts to be honest.

A title he didn’t earn, a degree in English Literature from Oxford University he at least worked hard for, and three hundred twenty-seven irrelevant ribbons cut before he threw in the towel and ran away.

He scrolls back up. Nora looks kind and a bit cheeky, like she would immediately get on with his sister and Pez like a house on fire.

“I am going to get this earring.”

“I wish David were here.” The sigh from his lips rustles one of Alex’s curls loosened away from under the cap. Alex’s eyebrows scrunch together and there’s a new mask edging his features. One Henry can’t quite place in his filmy headspace. “Oh. I thought… Pez said you didn’t have a boyfriend?”

The bark of laughter pulled from Henry’s throat is loud and unfettered. The kind of laugh he usually keeps hidden away or stifled behind the guard of a hand against his mouth.

“No, no. I mean yes, Pez’s right. But David isn’t–” Another giggle breaks into the words. “David’s a beagle, Alex.”

or, Henry gets high, and Alex is everything he's ever wanted.

What flowers besides roses make you think of Alex and Henry? Not ipê-amarelos or roses. It's for a tattoo.
