Even if It's Just Pretend, by nontoxic

“The queen wants to show that the prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.” “It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?” Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.” Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone." It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend. It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead. --- or, the alex-never-goes-to-kensington-after-the-lake-house, exes-to-fake-dating-to-lovers fic.

WIP Wednesday

*taps mic* This thing on?

I'm not gonna lie to y'all; writing has been TOUGH the last few weeks. Reading has been even worse. If anyone wants to swap brains for a bit, I would be a thousand percent down. However, I did get some actual words on an actual page for the first time in a hot minute this week. It's stupid and spicy and the premise is flimsy as fuck: in other words, basically my whole brand. Let's go.

Henry just hums in response, pulling Alex in for a lingering kiss, his hands sliding up under Alex’s t-shirt and tracing patterns into his skin. By the time they break apart, Alex is hard in his sweatpants and Henry’s cheeks are gratifyingly flushed.  “Can’t believe you’re gonna cockblock me for an entire month, you asshole.” “Well, technically”—Henry quirks an eyebrow—“the deal wasn’t that I can’t have sex. Just that I can’t come.” And that’s… interesting. Henry coming undone is a beautiful thing, but Henry wanting to come undone is something else entirely—wild and uninhibited and desperate. Suddenly, Alex can see an upside. “Guess our sex life’s gonna be all about me for thirty days, huh?” He grins, letting his tongue peek out between his teeth.  Henry tilts his head, considering. When he smiles, there’s a dangerous edge to it that has heat crackling up Alex’s spine. “Or perhaps, if I’m not getting an orgasm out of it, you’ll have to work hard to convince me it’s worth it, darling.”

OMG I'm back again, how about that? It's really a shame I don't have more time to write today because I was really on a roll. Thanks @wordsofhoneydew, @kiwiana-writes, @leaves-of-laurelin and @orchidscript for the tags!

“I should really shower,” Alex says without much conviction. “I’m filthy, H.” Henry just hums, and Alex feels his lips curl into a grin against his skin. “Maybe I like you filthy.” “You do, huh?” Alex asks, lifting one of his dirt and grease-stained hands to Henry’s neck. He’s very well aware that Henry’s never seemed to mind when he was a little grimy after a day of shooting, but today was particularly hot and dusty, and that’s aside from the extra dirt that makeup had added to his skin. He looks like he’s spent all day rolling around in the desert, which he has. Apparently, that’s doing it for Henry. “You want me to put streaks all over that pretty pale skin of yours? Mark you up?” He swipes his thumb over Henry’s collarbone, leaving a black smudge behind, and Henry exhales heavily. “Fuck, yes. I want that.” “Gonna make it so that everyone who sees you leaving this trailer knows that I’ve had my grimy hands all over you,” Alex murmurs, low and heated, punctuating it with a nip at the lobe of Henry’s ear as he smears more dirt around the base of his neck. That’s not how it will work out—this is Henry’s trailer, after all, and most of the rest of the crew will probably be gone by the time they shower and leave. But it still makes for a nice fantasy.  If the way his eyelids flutter shut is any indication, Henry agrees. “Please,” he groans, pressing into Alex’s touch.

As usual, I am doing an open tag, feel free to tag me back! Also tagging a bunch of people under the cut.

WIP Wednesday!

So many tags today and I am so grateful - I missed sharing on Sunday due to driving 16 hours over the weekend for our big summer road trip!

A huge thank you today to: @jmagnabo92, @wordsofhoneydew, @kiwiana-writes, @sophie1973, @orchidscript

and also @cha-melodius, @piratefalls, @bitsnpisces, @suseagull04 and the open tag I happened to see from @leaves-of-laurelin

I'm sharing another wee little snippet from 'the shower one', which was making really good progress until I left, but I'm hoping to get in some proper writing time on it over the next few weeks!

Henry appraises him, expression not giving anything away. He holds eye contact with Alex for a beat, lingers for a moment on his lips, and then gradually rakes his gaze down, like he’s taking in every single inch of Alex’s body in slow motion. Alex feels heat pooling in his gut already and Henry hasn’t even laid a finger on him.

Tags below the cut for anyone else who might like to share!

HELLO ALL! :D

many big beautiful thanks to @wordsofhoneydew @kiwiana-writes @onthewaytosomewhere @sophie1973

@cha-melodius @bitsnpisces @seths-rogens @suseagull04

@thesleepyskipper (and the lovely people who tagged me in the last several weeks as well) for keeping me in the loop! I can't guarantee much since all is still a bit rocky on the mental health front, but I'm taking advantage of some energy to toss this out there!!! I hope you are all doing so so well, and I cannot WAIT to read through these tags later! <3

here is a slice of what has been lovingly dubbed 'chaos alex' xx

--

“You asked him what?” 

Alex rolls his eyes, places his forkful of overpriced salad from the cafeteria back onto his plate to explain it again. 

“I just asked him what we talked about me asking him—” 

“Um. No. You did not,” Nora interjects. “You said you were just gonna befriend him for some inside info. Not straight up ask him to teach you how to take dick. For fuck’s sake, man.” 

“Actually, I asked him how to take cock,” Alex amends, then cowers when Nora’s eye twitches again. “I don’t see what was so wrong with that.”

OPEN TAG AS ALWAYS (please please take it my brain is so offline rn skjhdgfkjsgdf)

Well RWRB fandom seems to be sleeping this Sunday lol, but @justabigoldnerd, @loki-is-my-kink-awakening and @wolfpup026 got me covered for tags! Thanks folks!

“Don’t get cocky you little shit, cocky gets—” “—dead, I know,” he finishes with a sigh. “Look, everything will go perfectly, promise. One take.” “In your dreams,” she snorts. “Fox is a picky bastard. Just be thankful you’ve been shooting with second unit until now.” “Believe me, I am,” Alex returns dryly.

As usual, I am doing an open tag, feel free to tag me back! Also tagging a bunch of people under the cut.

In Plain Sight You Hid, by nontoxic

Miguel's hand is back, slipping over and around his knee so his fingertips brush the soft skin inside his thigh and Alex feels himself getting hard in his trunks. See, asshole? Some people think I'm so charming they even want to fuck me. Alex can't stop his whiskey-loosened thoughts from imagining the meeting with Henry going that way, instead, imagines Henry's piercing blue eyes looking at him with an entirely different kind of heat blazing in them, imagines the same challenge and intent written plainly on Miguel’s face playing across Henry’s, blue eyes searing into his. And then Miguel leans in, and Alex lets him, reveling in the way the attention feeds his buzz and makes him lightheaded. Besides, kissing is fun. Even if it's with smarmy reporters who aren’t great at it. -- aka Alex falling in love with Henry while Miguel lurks in the background. (or, the author has a headcanon that "we once made out on the campaign, drunk, fully naked, in a hot tub" happened in Rio because someone was frustrated over being rejected, and it turned into 11k of loverboy ACD)
