Damn, so many of you tagged me! I was gone for the day, celebrating my grandma's 80th birthday, but I'm here and I've got a treat for some of you FirstMarine shippers, hehe! Thank you @kiwiana-writes @firenati0n @bigassbowlingballhead @eusuntgratie @anincompletelist @heybuddy-drabbles @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @ninzied @winderlylandchime ♥

He’s about to reply to Nora when his doorbell rings. At this point, Alex isn’t really expecting Luke to show up any time soon, considering the radio silence between them, so he slowly makes his way out of his home office and down the stairs, his phone in hand to send Nora a last response. Ready to either receive a new box of cookies from Sally or sign for a registered letter from the mailman, Alex opens the door with his usual, bright smile, but there are no cookies and there isn’t a letter, either. There’s only Luke and his most trusted companion, violently whipping Alex’s legs with his tail as he presses right up against him.

Thanks for the tags @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @eusuntgratie @wordsofhoneydew @captainjunglegym @bigassbowlingballhead ♥ I almost forgot, haha!

It's just a small one this week, because I don't wanna give too much away.

“I forgot how comfortable your guest bed is,” June says as she stumbles down the stairs on Saturday morning and joins Alex in the kitchen, no doubt summoned by the smell of fresh coffee. “Buen dia, hermano.” She presses a kiss to Alex’s cheek and goes to fetch two mugs from the cupboard above the counter.  Alex smiles and reaches out to ruffle her long, unruly curls. “You say this every time you come over,” he teases, before handing her the cinnamon. “Nora still sleepin’?” “Nah, she’s up,” June says, pouring coffee in both mugs. “She’s taking a shower,” she then adds with a grin and a quick raise of her eyebrows. “Christ, that’s gross,” Alex complains.

From heading straight for your heart (like a bullet in the dark), a FirstMarine, multi-chaptered au:

Pushing his cart through an almost empty grocery store, Alex tries to stick to the list he made before he left the house. He thinks of June when he adds a couple of bottles of her favorite cider to his cart and he thinks of Nora when he picks up a bag of barbecue flavored chips. He could absolutely pretend he’s not thinking of Luke when he drops a pack of chocolate chip cookies into his cart, but what would be the point? “Listen, you’re just wrong. Nothing is better than a good old chocolate chip cookie.” “You’re insane. You’ve obviously never tasted good quality coconut cookies.” “No, I have not, because they don’t exist. Chocolate chip is where it’s at.” “Get out of my house.” “Make me.”

Thanks for the tag, @kiwiana-writes ♥

I've been steadily working on my longer FirstMarine fic, so almost two chapters have been written! We'll go with that one for today.

“At least Buddy seems happy, hey?” Alex says with a chuckle. Luke can’t help but smile down at his dog. “Yeah, he does this proud little bark every time I survive another one of these,” he says absentmindedly, reaching out to drag a hand over Buddy’s head. His dog nuzzles at his palm and furiously wags his tail. “Another one?” Alex asks. Luke snaps his head back up when he realizes what he’s said, and it is then that he also notices that he’s still holding Alex’s hand. He lets go as if the touch suddenly burns him and curls his fingers into a fist, still warm from Alex’s grip. “Hey, do you wanna pet him?” he asks instead, gesturing towards Buddy. He cringes at the cowardly way he avoids answering the question, but he doesn’t even know Alex. He’s met the man once, briefly, and the Alex in his dreams may not even be close to the Alex standing in front of him now. There’s no way he’s going to open up, just because he runs his fingers through soft, black curls in his sleep.

WIP Wednesday, November 29th, 2023

It's after midnight here and I love that I'm early enough to tag people! Anyway, I started a new FirstMarine story and I'm too excited about it not to include it in my WIP Wednesday, so here you go!

Alex lowers himself onto his haunches and lets the dog sniff his hand. “Hi, Buddy,” he greets, gently petting the side of Buddy’s face when it’s clear that he approves of Alex. “What a good boy you are!” Buddy drops the ball in the sand, between Alex’s feet and takes a step back, excitedly hopping back and forth on his paws. “Oh,” Buddy’s owner says, pointing towards the ball, “he wants you to throw it, I guess.” Smiling up at the man, Alex picks up the ball, swings his arm back and then tosses it away as far as he’s able. He watches Buddy sprint off and laughs again at the dog’s enthusiasm. Then, he turns to his owner and sticks a hand out. “I’m Alex,” he says. The man briefly worries his full bottom lip (Alex is definitely not looking at his lips) with his teeth and takes Alex’s hand. “Luke,” he says, his cheeks once again flushed pink.

I'm tagging @magicandarchery, @eusuntgratie, @ninzied, @anincompletelist, @kiwiana-writes, @violetbaudelaire-quagmire and everyone who feels like sharing something! ♥

okay some payback

choose: firstmarine or firstprince

Pft. Give me a harder one, Jon.

I love FirstMarine and will defend Luke Morrow with my life, but the choice is FirstPrince. Hands down. No debate.
