Finally, my RWRB ocs are figured out (There’s one missing from my initial spitballing but I’m changing my mind on the FC so gotta wait. And I reworked one of the ideas) so meet
1. Sebastian Van Wyck (Hunter Parrish FC, Alex and Henry ship)
Former schoolmate (and hookup/almost boyfriend) of Prince Henry, he holds the title of the Earl of Wiltshire and remains a close friend of the royal family. His sexuality is an open secret amongst those that know him but he doesn’t really speak about it, which is part of why him and Henry stopped hooking up. However, as Alex Claremont-Diaz starts spending more time across the pond and subsequently, with them, old and new feelings start igniting
2. Princess Calliope Angelos (Naomi Scott FC, Nora ship potentially a June ship but don’t quote me, Nora is the focus)
Princesses Beatrice and Calliope have been inseparable since they were children, even when Bea was in rehab and pegged “The Powder Princess”, Calliope was always there for her. So when Bea wants to introduce her to the Vice President’s gorgeous granddaughter, she’s happy to oblige. And then she gets her phone number and is happy to chat about the ridiculousness of Alex and Henry
3. Kendall Frost (Matthew Daddario FC, Bea ship)
Child actor turned political activist, Kendall Frost gets involved in as many foundations and good causes as he can, which is what led to him meeting Percy Okonjo. He helped out with the Okonjo foundation a lot and even volunteered to help Ellen Claremont’s campaign, and those two factors meant a night of karaoke is a meet cute for an actual princess

Deacon to the Rescue
Deacon: -the doctor’s visit had been dealt with and Sebastian was tucked securely into bed. I was grateful that no bones were broken though Dr. Van Wyck advised that there might have been a cracked rib sustained in addition to the multitude of bruises that colored the young man’s body. Taking a seat in the Eames style chair in the corner of the room. The room was decorated much like the rest of my home, Mid Century Modern with touches of what could be considered industrial. It was only my bedroom that contained what one would expect of a well bred English gentleman. With a shaking of my head I pulled myself back from my thought and focused on the here and now. Sebastian needed to feel secure, safe and that his needs were my foremost thought- Do you require anything, Little one?
Seb: *I was so nervous when the doctor was examining me. I didn’t like being poked and prodded at, but he wasn’t like other doctors. He was sweet and could sense my fear. Once it was all over I was laying in bed. I couldn’t tell if it was his or someone else's but it smelled nice. Turning my head into the pillows to inhale the scent, pausing once I hear your words. Looking over at you, seeing that your eyes were on me. Shifting up I look around the room then lets my eyes meet yours* Well..I think I could take a shower, and have a fresh pair of clothes. *I was still wearing the gown the doctor put me in. Blushing as I think about the doctor seeing me naked. I felt exposed at first but soon relaxed more as he reassured me. During that part you were asked to leave the room, but I sensed something from you. As if you maybe wanted to see just how badly I was hurt. Shifting up in bed feeling the covers fall* Would you escort me to the bathroom, Sir?
Deacon: Of course. -rising, I made the short few steps to the bed and offered him my hand. Even though I’d been asked to leave the room, I knew that Van Wyck would give me a full report on the injuries sustained. It was horrifying in description, the welts, bruises, the marks that marred Sebastian’s wrists and ankles. What kind of inhuman philistine would treat one that is in their care with barbary. Actions such as these baffled me- Come, Little one. -looking down tenderly upon the near boy. No matter the length of Sebastian’s stay, I would ensure that he knew what it was to be cared for as a submissive should. To know that his needs in the emotion sense would never be trodden upon. The idea that he would leave my care only to fall victim to another such as the bastard that hurt him this way bothered me greatly. Ensuring that he knew how a true Dominant would treat him and care for him was paramount-
Seb: *Nods and moves to get out of bed. Looking at the outstretched hand I felt a sense of worry. What if he was just like him? What if it was all a trap and this is not the life that I thought I wanted? Frowning for a moment as I weigh all the options in my head, pausing as I hear those words. Flushing as I look up then slowly reaches out to take your hand. My fingers push into yours and curl around before I move forward with you to the bathroom. Once there I let my eyes roam over the beautiful bathroom. Fuck you had a tub that was the size of a swimming pool. It was absolutely gorgeous. My hand falls from yours and I bring my arms around my middle before gazing at you, waiting for you to make a move here*
Deacon: -once in the bathroom, I released your hand. There had been a moment where I was unsure if you would take my hand but even in the face of those reservations you chose to push beyond them and that showed me the bravery in your heart- Do you wish a shower, Little one or would you prefer a bath? -I’d stepped to the side to allow you a bit of space, from my own experience I knew what invasion of personal space could do to someone feeling vulnerable. Despite that knowledge it did little to stop the desire to want to hold him close and give him the comfort that I could see was so very needed-
Seb: *I was shocked when he asked what I wanted. Normally I was use to people choosing for me. Biting my lip as I look at the shower. It was nice but it didn’t compare to that cozy bath that would just soothe my sore muscles. Nodding to the tub as I part my lips to speak* I choose the bath, Sir. *Clearing my throat before I shuffle a bit, watching as you move to turn it on then throw some bath salts in. While you are fixing it up I reach behind me to tug at the strings on the gown I was wearing then lets it slide off my body. Bringing my arms around myself as I notice you turned around and we're seeing me, naked. Everything was exposed. The marks, the cuts, the bruises, and me. Swallowing I look down slowly then steps forward towards the tub and climbs in. Hissing softly as I feel the hot water against my skin*
Deacon: -I would chastise myself later for not schooling my reaction to the state of his body; the bruises were horrific making his body a gruesome patchwork of colors, I also saw welts from what could only have been a belt and finally, the scars. If I were to have my druthers I would find the bastard that mistreated Sebastian so badly and make him suffer as this young man has suffered. Watching as he gingerly settled into the water, I moved a few steps to the side so that I was in his line of sight- If I were to get that ice pack for your face, will you use it because you should or because you believe that I expect it of you? -what I’d really like to do after retrieving the chilled pack was sit on the edge of the tub and gently wash all of his horrific day from his skin-
Seb: *Bringing my knees to my chest and lowers my chin to rest on them. Listening to your words I take a deep before I stare at the water then nods* I will do it because I should. *It was the truth. My face was sore and in pain and I probably should be icing it. The feeling of being numb from it all was wearing off and if I didn’t take care of myself soon my face would look worst in the morning. Turning my head to the side as I try to read your expression. It looked like there was something you weren’t telling me. I frown then look away and whispers* I know...I look just awful huh? *Warm tears fill my eyes but I don’t let them spill over*
Deacon: -it was the sight of his tears that did me in and I took the few short steps to the large tub. Settling on the edge, I spoke softly but with a firmness- Yes, little one, you do but that is through no fault of your own. You hardly asked for this to happen. -picking up a flannel from where the housekeeper had left a small stack, I offered it to Sebastian after gently using it to dry his cheeks- Do you remember my saying that I would never lie to you? -after the words left my lips, I realized that I’d said that a Dominant should never lie to their submissive; not that I would never lie. It seemed that I was beginning to put myself in that role with him-
Seb: *Feeling you wipe at my cheeks gently. Wiping away the tears and all of my emotions. I watched you carefully. Listening to your words and for the first time in awhile I feel butterflies in my stomach. My cheeks flush a tad but probably because of the warm water. Yeah. Nodding slowly* Yes I do remember that. I remember you saying that. *Swallowing hard before I let my hands grip the edge of the tub and then takes a deep breath. Tipping my head back to look up at you, wondering what you thought. Wondering if you just felt sorry for me*
Deacon: -a flurry of emotions crossed his sweet face whilst I watched- If you are worried about pity, Sebastian you have little to fear with that. While I feel bad for you because of your current situation, I see strength in you. Pardon me for just a moment. -rising, I moved quickly over the cool slate tiles of the bathroom then the plush stone colored carpet to the bedside stand. Picking up the cold pack, I retraced my path back to the side of the tub and gently laid the protected ice on the side of his face-
Seb: *Watching you leave then come back shortly with the ice pack. You move to my level again and press it to my face. Leaning into the ice I let out a soft hiss then a sigh* Thank you, Sir. *Keeping my gaze on you for a moment before I realize that I was staring. Looking down at the tub and moves around a bit, the water sloshing around in the tub. My cheeks got even hotter then I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Shit maybe it just wasn’t the hot water, maybe it was you that were making me well..blush. Gazing up again as I try to read your emotions*
Deacon: -leaning past him to take a flannel from the stack that lay on the back ledge, I dipped it into the steaming bath water and gently wiped it over his chest. I had failed to use soap but the bath was more to ease his muscles than it was to clean. Working the cloth from his chest to shoulder then repeating to the other shoulder, I softly murmured an Irish lullaby. Upon realizing that I’d been speaking aloud even if it was softly my eyes widened ever so slightly and I became quiet again. The draw toward this young man was one that I couldn’t afford; he was everything on the surface that I wanted but how skittish and damaged he was underneath….it had burned me in the past.
Seb: *My eyes go wide when I hear you start to sing, not expecting it. Slowly I felt myself relaxing. Your touch, the song, the warm water, and you. It was all so mesmerizing. I knew that I shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help it to lean up and let my lips barely graze yours in a soft kiss that was sort of a thank you. Where would I have been right now if I hadn’t stumbled upon you. You were like my knight in shining armor, which I knew sounded so cliche but it was true. Looking up at you with soft eyes as I try to read your emotions, only hoping I didn’t overstep in anyway*
Deacon: -his lips were soft with the timid kiss, I kicked up a brow in query though it was more of the things running through my mind rather than his motive- Sebastian, you have no need to feel obliged to me. You are my guest…. -I allowed the comment to die and resumed my roaming with the flannel. His face appeared so open and honest, I should have had alarm bells tolling at my reaction to his kiss rather than finding it endearing; in this I failed- It is time for bed, little one. If you stand I will help you dry. -whilst I spoke, I had rung the cloth of water and draped over the porcelain edge of the tub-
Seb: *My brows knit together as I feel slightly rejected, but he was right. I was his guest, and this wasn’t about that. Standing slowly, listening to the sounds of the water dripping off my naked body as I try to process what just happened. Finally finding the words to speak. I look at the dominant and murmurs* I know I'm your guest. I didn't do that because I felt I had to. I did it because...well I wanted too. *My cheeks turn red again. Feeling slightly embarrassed I look down as I wait for you to dry me*
Deacon: -I was bothered by the melancholy look that stilled his features, it made me want to kick myself in the backside. It wasn’t often that I put my foot in my mouth but it would seem that I can do arse over tits standing still. Plucking a plush towel from the nearby stack, I set about quickly but gently drying his skin- I want you to understand that you needn’t feel that you owe me anything. -with an ease of movement I slid the cotton sheet about his hips and tucked the corner down and in, securing it on his hips- Do you need help dressing, little one?
Seb: I know that. *My brows stay knit together as I watch you dry me then tuck a towel around my waist. Rubbing a hand over my face before I shake it* No, Sir. I can dress myself. *I waited until you were out of the room before I tugged the towel off and chucked it at the door. What was I doing? Looking into the mirror, I stare at my beaten face. I should just go back to him. Maybe if I went now I wouldn’t be in that much trouble. Whimpering slightly before I feel a rush of tears spill over my face. My legs wobble slightly as I drop down to my knees and wraps my arms around myself*
Deacon: -I had scarcely made it back into the bedroom when the low sound of sobbing hit it. Turning on my heel, I re-entered the bathroom and crouched next to his trembling form. Resting a comforting hand on his shoulder, I spoke gently- Up on your feet, Sebastian. -offering him my hand to aid his rise to his feet and gathering him in my arms- You are welcome here and I have no issue with the kiss, I was simply ensuring that it was by choice and not that you felt beholden to me. -resting my cheek against the soft hair near the crown of his head-
Seb: *My face turn bright red when you came in. I felt so embarrassed as you scooped me up into your arms, and just as I was about to protest I hear your words. As I feel your cheek rested on my head I let out a low sigh before wiping furiously at my eyes, gazing down to realize I was still naked. My arms loop around your neck, inhaling your rich scent as I whisper* I feel like such a mess and a burden to you. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. Deal with me. *Wiping at my nose with the back of my hand before pressing my forehead to your shoulder. Only a few stray tears fell now and landed on you* I think I would like to lay down now if that is okay.
Deacon: You are hardly a mess, little one. You have had a horrific day, this entitles you to your emotions and tears. As for dealing with you, it is my pleasure. -turning my head ever so slightly, I pressed a kiss to his hair whilst walking into the bedroom- Do you prefer to sleep with or without pyjamas? -lightly settling him on the edge of the bed, skimming my eyes over his body for my own selfish reasons rather than looking for a wound that required attention-
Seb: *Now when you looked at me I blushed for a whole different reason. I saw a slight hunger in your eyes that caused me to swallow thickly. Shuffling under the covers but only enough that barely my lower half was covered. Still leaving the patch of hair above my base showing as well as the V line and my chest exposed. My head hits the soft pillow and I let out a relaxed sigh* This is fine. *Chewing on my lip as I shuffle in this huge bed. Wondering if there was another one for you or this was the only one you had* Is this your bed? *My blue eyes flicker up to lock onto yours*
Deacon: -dear God in Heaven, I drank in the sight of him whilst trying to ignore the bruises that marred his skin or the obvious edge of ribs that were a sure sign that he hadn’t been eating well or often enough. It was a bit of a struggle not to grind my teeth together in anger at the man that had treated him so horrifically. Pushing my murderous thoughts out, I curved a corner of my mouth in a slight grin- No, little one. This is the guest room, my own rooms are down the hall. Would you like me to stay until you fall asleep? -leaning so that I can push one of the slightly raised buttons on the side of the night stand, turning off the light. This had a twofold reason; one to help ease you to sleep and the other to show that with the bathroom door open there was dim illumination from the LED light strip that was under the kick plate of the vanity-
Seb: *Nods and shuffles a bit to the other side of the bed to make some room for you. Turning on my side, feeling more of the sheet slip from my bare body. Resting my head in my hand as I gaze at you, watching as you move to lay beside me. I feel my eyes grow heavy but I fight to try to keep them open. Letting out a soft breath as my split lip parts. Keeping my eyes on you as I whisper softly in the dark room* Thank you Sir…
Deacon: -stretching out beside him, I lay my head on my bent arm using my other hand to gently thread my fingers through his hair in a slow rhythm- Sleep, little one, you are safe here. -I planned to wait for you to sleep before placing a call to Eva, I wanted to know who this fuck was and I was going to make bloody sure that he knew to keep his distance from this boy. Sebastian’s breathing had evened out, I stayed for a few more minutes to ensure that he was truly asleep then rose to set plans in motion-

OC question of the week: What would history remember your favorite oc for? How would they become famous?
I've been mulling over this question since I saw it because I mean one, I do not have a favorite oc and 2, there's so many options that this could work for but because I haven't talked about any of them for a while (and the classic "history huh?" line) I'm gonna go with my RWRB oc Sebastian Van Wyck
He's already a relatively known name, being the Earl of Wiltshire, but he would truly go down in the history books for his relationship with Alex Claremont-Diaz and Henry Hanover-Stuart-Fox. I mean, a gay poly relationship between an Earl, the Prince of England, and the first female President's son? They are absolutely going to go down in history
