cheap for the micro prompts for any character/ship you like!

thank you! <3

cheap (set pre-8a disaster etc)

Athena awoke to the smell of waffles and a cold pillow next to her. After momentary confusion, she heard quiet laughter erupt from the kitchen, and she couldn't fight the smile spreading across her face even if she wanted to. After donning her robe, she announced her presence as she walked into the kitchen. "Well, good morning! I'd know those laughs anywhere." May's smile only widened as she looked at her mom. "We didn't mean to wake you," she said as she made her way into Athena's open and waiting arms. "I told you she would still know you were here." Athena felt her heart swell as she looked over May's head to her husband, still sitting at the table. Bobby was smiling at the scene in front of him, placing a plate piled high with fresh, golden waffles next to the array of toppings on the table. "Is Harry still sleeping?" Athena inquired, releasing May and following her over to the table. "He's out grabbing some of that cheap whipped cream he likes from the store," May rolled her eyes. "Bobby made us all this but somehow he still needs that stuff on his waffles." Athena shook her head fondly, her hand laced in her husband's. "Well, let's grab as many as we can before he comes back and takes them all," she said conspiratorially as moved her free hand to load her plate with breakfast food. Athena felt movement and lips press to her skin. She paused, taking an opportunity to place both hands on Bobby's cheeks and pull him in for a sweet kiss, knowing this morning would be etched into a safe place in her heart forever.

WIP Wednesday

tagged by @eusuntgratie <3 <3

I thought I was going to be able to publish another chapter today but alas. Instead have some angry Justin. I tried to pick a part of their argument without any CW.

Justin doesn’t crumble, he doesn’t tear up the way Brian expects he would. The way Michael would if those same words were lobbed at him. No, Justin rolls his eyes and bites out, “Please, my dad threw me out and disowned me, I’ve dealt with straight men freaked out because they’re attracted to me, and I’ve dealt with other drag queens. This is the worst you can do? What a fucking joke.” He opens the door and slides out of the passenger seat. He doesn’t even slam the door. It closes with a quiet click and Brian is left alone. He finally understands what the queens at The Good Luck Cafe mean when they call something shade.

Mostly an open tag but tagging @in-cracks-of-light @lostcol @madsworld15 in case any of y'all have some words to share.

NCAA hockey! I'm an NHL fan of old but I don't live in a country that gives a fuck about (ice) hockey so didn't realise until I started writing Puck It that some of the regulations are actually quite different!

tell me something about alex the royal suitor 👀👀?

ALSO what position did/does Arthur play? And where?? IM INTRIGUED.

Okay SO!! Both of these are rather unbaked plots so bear with me, friend. Royal Suitor Alex!! Alex is sober enough to NOT turn the buttercream incident into one where he knocks over the cake. Instead he tugs Henry into a nearby washroom and tries to help wash the icing off Henry's jacket. What he's NOT sober enough to do is stop Henry from kissing him nor to remember to lock the door. One of the event staff snaps a picture of them and it ends up in the paper the next morning. The palace's hands are tied and now the official story is that Alex and Henry are in a committed relationship!!! We totally meant to announce this all along!! Look how progressive the monarchy is!!! RIP to Alex who absolutely still thinks Henry is annoying as fuck and now has to have his sexuality crisis while being paraded around the UK with Henry on Palace-Approved Outings. And as for Hockey AU, I hadn't fully decided what position Arthur might have played, though now I feel I'm leaning toward him being a defenseman for some reason. Tall, long reach, etc. Maybe more of a mobile offensive defenseman in an era where that was rare. He's a dual Canadian/British citizen because Commonwealth. I can't decide whether I want him to have played for NYR (and for Henry to have spent some time in NY as a kid) or for a Canadian team. But obv him being a big NHL star means that hockey becomes much more popular as a sport in the UK. All the royal kids played a little as kids, but only Henry stuck with it. MUCH TO THINK ABOUT. MANY HOCKEY THOUGHTS.
