HELLO I AM IN AGONY There's a fic on ao3 I've been wanting to read again for like a YEAR. All I really remember about it is Charles is the prince of England, and then during his coronation or something he announces he's the first gay king of England. Erik is... a reporter or something? And he goes through all this stuff with the royal family trying to teach him how to be an acceptably royal boyfriend. Please help a struggling soul if you can. x
I haven’t had time to read it yet but I’m pretty sure you’re looking for Anarchy in the U.K. by Yahtzee (162k, E, No powers AU) - Charles lives in the unceasing glare of the public spotlight, yet keeps his sexual orientation a closely held secret, afraid he could lose his throne and force his deeply troubled younger sister into a role that would crush her. Erik, journalist and world traveler, has been a loner most of his life; he has little patience for closet cases. But a chance meeting in Kenya brings these two opposites together and sets in motion a love affair that will challenge the British monarchy – and their most deeply held beliefs about who they are, and who they should be.
