millie’s long list of malex fics | Circinus by Enchantable
Michael fights the urge to fidget as Alex watches Isobel leave. He wanted this, kind of. Alex has been very, very careful about being alone with him. Michael is really familiar with Alex’s boundaries and this is a new one. Which maybe he deserves but it’s hard none the less. He’s been respecting it, but the man in front of him is a mash up of the man who can’t be alone with him and the man who Michael knows beyond a shadow of a doubt likes him. Alex gives him an almost pained smile and Michael straightens up.
“So, uh, keep it natural?” He says trying for a joke, “got any green?” Alex gives him his patented ‘I’m done with you’ look and unscrews a jar, dabbing his finger in. His nails are dry but he’s cleaned up his cuticles and the smell of Alex and Acetone is not helping. Even before Alex wipes something over his face and eyelids. He feels a press of something honey and chemicals on his lips, “whats this?”.
A series of loosely connected one shots based around beauty product.
comment: this author has a few wonderful fics that are collections based around a theme, and this is a really lovely one that centres on beauty products. from applying and cleaning off makeup in a wholly intimate way, to alex buying his boyfriend’s special shampoo, this series features some really sweet moments between the boys. i like that the chapters aren’t necessarily in a timeline but that they all feel connected because of the theme. best of all; they leave me feeling warm and fuzzy!
have a fic you’d like to see on the list? let me know!
