a rich and complex tapestry
When Alex first hooks up with Henry, he's expecting a fun one-night-stand and maybe the occasional booty call. He does not expect to get so completely pulled into Henry’s orbit that it forces him to reevaluate everything he thought he knew about his sexuality. And he's not sure if it makes it better, or way worse, that Henry is actually a professional at all this stuff — what are the odds that Alex would hook up with the one guy on campus who hosts his own radio show about sex? 'Sleeping With Henry' is about to gain one devoted listener.
This was such a satisfying fic to write! It was genuinely one of those that felt like it wrote itself - and I don't know about y'all, but that's not how it usually works for me. Right from the start, I felt so certain of what I wanted this to be: I wanted to write one that really dug deep into Alex's bi realization. That's a theme that features in a lot of RWRB fics, including my own, and of course it's also a vital part of the RWRB canon. With this fic, I wanted to explore that deeply, to really take my time with it and write it in a way that felt vulnerable and heartfelt and very, very real.
I'm bi. And whenever I write about Alex being bi, I am writing a little bit about me being bi - never completely about me, but y'know. It's one of the things that really drew me to Alex's character in the first place, the way his bisexual realization was handled in the book. That realization is something I almost always include in an AU as well - but oftentimes in a oneshot, the timeline for any type of emotional character development can become quite condensed. And while I immensely enjoy both reading and writing oneshots wherein Alex's bi realization takes place over the course of a few hours - in fact, that can be so fun! - in this oneshot, I wanted to let it take quite a bit of time.
Also? I very desperately wanted to write Henry as an irresistibly confident sex guru on late-night radio. What's not to like about that?
In the excerpt below the cut, Alex and Henry have just had sex and Alex is about to tell Henry that actually, he still sort of thinks he's straight. Mostly.
Henry slumps down against him, but he doesn’t immediately pull himself off. It gives Alex a few moments to assess the feeling of his dick in Henry’s ass in a more technical sense, without the burning urgency of an impending orgasm. And it’s… well. It’s nice? He shifts his hips a little, biting his lip when that makes Henry groan slightly.
Suddenly, he’s infinitely curious about the opposite side of the experience.
Henry nips at Alex’s throat, possibly in retaliation to his wiggling. “You alright?”
“I’m fantastic,” Alex drawls. Except then Henry starts to pull off, and Alex instantly palms at his shoulders. “Hey, could you… stick around? I’m having a moment.”
“Is that so?” Henry wonders. He sounds mildly confused, which is way better than put-out. Alex will take it. “If you’re suggesting another round, I’m going to need a bit longer.”
“I mean, we could do that,” Alex says quickly. It’s a great fucking idea. “I was just kinda taking it all in.”
He feels Henry go still against him. “What do you mean?” Henry asks softly.
“Um.” Fuck. It’s possible Alex should’ve mentioned this earlier. “I’m, y’know, mostly straight? Like, about ninety-six percent or so. Historically it’s been a hundred, but recent data suggests otherwise.”
Henry makes a noise Alex can’t quite decipher; it’s both startled and a bit weak, but when he speaks there’s distinct amusement in his voice. “Christ, Alex. I'm not sure you're aware you're saying that with your cock still in my arse.”
“Fuck right off.” Alex couldn’t fight his dumb grin if he tried. This is exactly why he and someone like Henry, regardless of gender, could never work out for real; Henry is way too good at cutting through Alex’s bullshit. Alex wouldn’t stand a fucking chance.

top five rwrb quotes; book or film your choice.
That's the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love him on purpose.
Sometimes you just jump and hope it's not a cliff.
All of the Incomplete List: Things I love about HRH Prince Henry of Wales but specifically: 9. How hard you try. 10. How hard you've always tried. 11. How determined you are to keep trying
Here lies Prince Henry of Wales. He died as he lived: avoiding plans and sucking cock.
And honestly, just the "Vicky" moment in the film, so iconic that me and my friend quote it all the time, arm movements and all.

Can you do a fic where Y/n and Feyd Rautha celebrate their 18th birthday of their son
Legacy of our bloodline
masterlist ! pairing: Feyd Rautha x reader
Dune Masterlist
Tumblr media
In the opulent halls of House Harkonnen, the air was filled with an anticipation that echoed the grandeur of the occasion. Feyd-Rautha and you, Y/N, found yourselves preparing for a celebration unlike any other—the 18th birthday of your son, a symbol of the legacy that intertwined the Bene Gesserit and Harkonnen bloodlines.
The banquet hall, adorned with rich tapestries and flickering candles, awaited the gathering of guests. Feyd-Rautha, with his customary confidence, extended his arm to you. "Y/N, our son's 18th birthday. Can you believe it?"
You smiled, your eyes reflecting the pride and love that filled your heart. "Time has flown, Feyd. Our son has grown into an extraordinary young man."
As the guests began to arrive, the atmosphere buzzed with a mix of celebration and the weight of the Harkonnen legacy. Feyd-Rautha, the formidable heir of House Harkonnen, and you, a Bene Gesserit whose influence transcended politics, stood at the center of the gathering.
The grand doors swung open, and your son entered, dressed in Harkonnen regalia that mirrored the traditions of the house. The room erupted in applause, and as your son approached, a mix of emotions played on Feyd-Rautha's face—a blend of pride, joy, and a hint of nostalgia.
"Happy 18th birthday, my son," Feyd-Rautha declared, his voice resonating through the hall.
The birthday celebration unfolded with a grandeur befitting House Harkonnen. The banquet table groaned under the weight of sumptuous dishes, and the air was filled with laughter and the clinking of goblets.
As the evening progressed, you and Feyd-Rautha found yourselves sharing a quiet moment on a balcony overlooking the grand courtyard. The festivities below created a tapestry of celebration, and the night sky stretched above, a canvas dotted with stars.
"Feyd," you began, your gaze fixed on the horizon, "our son has grown into a remarkable young man. He carries the legacies of both our bloodlines."
Feyd-Rautha nodded, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "He's strong, Y/N, with a fire that mirrors the intensity of House Harkonnen. I see the influence of the Bene Gesserit in his wisdom and understanding."
The balcony provided a sanctuary where the weight of their responsibilities and the complexities of their intertwined destinies faded away. The connection between you and Feyd-Rautha deepened in the quiet acknowledgment of the legacy that had been passed down to your son.
As the night wore on, the celebration reached its peak with a grand toast. Feyd-Rautha raised his goblet, the flames of House Harkonnen emblazoned on its surface. "To our son, a testament to the strength of our union and the legacies that bind us."
The guests echoed the sentiment, and as the toast resounded through the hall, your son stood at the center, the embodiment of a legacy that spanned generations.
Later in the evening, you and Feyd-Rautha found yourselves in the courtyard, the festivities winding down. The echoes of laughter and music lingered in the air as you looked at your son, surrounded by friends and well-wishers.
"Feyd," you whispered, a quiet smile playing on your lips, "our son's 18th birthday— a moment that transcends the complexities of our bloodlines."
Feyd-Rautha nodded, his hand finding yours in a gesture that spoke of a shared journey. "Y/N, our legacy lives on in him. It's a testament to the strength of our union and the bond that goes beyond politics."
As the grand celebration drew to a close, you and Feyd-Rautha lingered in the courtyard, the night alive with the magic of the occasion. The 18th birthday of your son had become more than a celebration of age; it was a testament to the enduring connection between the Bene Gesserit and House Harkonnen—a legacy that surpassed the intricacies of politics, transcending into the realm of family and love.
