…clearly I’m in my villain era!

unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

Edit Note: I'm really amazed by how much love this post got. Guess it just shows we're all in the same boat. Never give up writing! ❤️

Hiiiiii lovebugs!! Happy Sunday! We made it! I'm coming at you exhausted after a very long two weeks, and I'm just wondering when it will all end and I can just let my writing take over my life again. Hopefully soon.

As Alex waits for June to pick up his Facetime call, he picks at his cuticles. For some reason, he’s ungodly nervous about telling his sister what has happened here in London, and he can’t quite put his finger on why. Maybe it’s because June has always been the closest person to his heart in this life, and he’s finally found someone who might sit a little bit closer to that organ in his chest. Or maybe it’s because no one knows as acutely as June does just how much Alex has hated this soulmate mark on his arm. What a big hypocrite he’s going to seem like, he thinks. He huffs out a breath and rolls over onto his stomach, then shakes his head so his curls fall more appealingly. He winks at himself in the phone camera and jumps when his sister picks up and cackles at his preening. “Why am I not surprised by this behavior, baby bro?” June laughs into the camera before blowing Alex a kiss and waving at him through her phone lens.

I don’t have a lot to share and my brain is eating me. I’m torn between FOMO and feeling like this whole business is futile. But I remain as always grateful for those who think of me in these tagging games ❤️

So here’s some paragraph from Rule Britannia that I’ve already decided to delete and will therefore never see the light of day anyway.

Research was what Alex did best.

But whether out of respect for Henry, or because of the depths of his denial and fears of the truths he might uncover if he persistently dug, Alex had never properly utilised his best skills to help him unravel the mysteries of Henry’s life.

He was also acutely aware of how incomplete a picture the public record painted of the inner lives of public figures, having been one for the majority of his life. He knew that even when there was a mountain of information about a person from relatively trustworthy and less-biased sources, the information could still be misleading. He pictured Nora crossing her arms and reminding him that not all data was useful, and that some of it was just noise obfuscating the truth.

But Henry was a noisy fuck (in every sense of the word) and in the absence of any straightforward answers from the arseholes in Henry’s orbit, Alex felt as if he had no choice but to give in to his most curious impulses. With a few fortifying shots of liquid courage, Alex set about researching the trail of dead men left in Henry’s wake, and the living shadows that haunted him.

Open tag, if anyone still hasn’t done theirs!

@theprinceandagcd @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for the tags :) :) i finally have some sentences. i have been struggling a lot with reading and writing recently. so, I'm writing something that makes me happy to bring the juice back.

here is a peep at angel!henry sequel. because honestly, writing him experiencing joy at small human things is helping me recalibrate myself and find my own tiny joys. i am doing this for me. it is a love letter to humanity from me to you, but also a reminder to myself

The Victoria & Albert museum is lively today. Henry hasn’t been back to the Cast Courts since he last visited in his time of need, the heaviest he had ever felt, his whole being sagging under the weight of the world’s pain he elected to shoulder. If he stares hard enough, he can almost see a shadow of his former self staring up at Trajan’s Column, can almost run his fingers across the desperation written all over his face as he seeks comfort in Civitali’s angels; his hands clasped and cold and pleading.   Now, his hands are warm, nestled in Alex’s palms, calloused fingertips absentmindedly running over Henry’s knuckles. It makes Henry feel grounded, tethered to a reality he never thought he deserved, but has manifested nonetheless.  He takes in the statues with a new perspective, a newfound respect. Yes, they endured. Yes, they were seen, and they were loved.  But now, Henry is too. Seen and loved, in the way that matters, with an end in sight. Henry’s never been happier to reject eternity. 

xoxo roop

Sunday sentences 4.28.24

happy Sunday friends! Hope yall had a good week and weekend. Thank you so much to my loves @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @tailsbeth-writes @onthewaytosomewhere @lfg1986-2 and @bigassbowlingballhead for the tags! I’ve been enjoying your stuff so much.

I was gonna share some from my new 5 +1 fic about David that I started last night but when I was trying to choose the sentences I decided it’s terrible so! You’re getting some more from tummy fic 3.0 (tummy fic 2.0 is still in process but 3.0 is getting more love right now)

Henry blushes, drops his gaze down. He loves the feeling of Alex’s hands on his belly, so steadying, so solid. “Stop it, I’m not delicious,” he protests, but the smile on his face betrays how he really feels. He’s smitten with it, with Alex’s words, with the attention.

“Listen, you are delicious, sweetheart. I don’t make the rules. You just are.” Alex pushes his nose into a sweet spot at Henry’s neck, inhaling him, getting drunk off of him. Henry always smells like expensive paper, cookies, sunlight. It drives Alex insane. He wants to bottle it and save it forever, wants a way to pin it down so he can always have this small piece of Henry that is so important.

thank you for the tags: @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @sparklepocalypse @cha-melodius @onthewaytosomewhere

we're still trucking with speak now (or forever hold your piss) i haven't wrote a whole lot with the whole of yesterday, but here's a something.

Alex looks up right as Bea says, “I now pronounce you man and wife, Zahra you may now kiss your husband!”  “Gladly,” Zahra says as she reaches up and wraps her arms around Shaan’s neck, pulls him down to her and kisses him. The guests erupt into a cacophony of whoops and cheers, Alex hears the distinct sound of Oscar whistling through his teeth. Shaan and Zahra break apart and turn to face their guests. Shaan takes Zahra’s hand and raises them both, they look at each other and count, one… two… three… Alex jumps when he hears an unexpected pop from behind and feels something trying to leak out. Oh no. He clenches his body to stop it and focuses on the dried sunflower petals raining from above showering Shaan and Zahra as they run down the aisle.

happy wednesday, friends! hope everyone's having a great week <3 it's the return of the flames banner!

thank you so much for the tags @luainthewild @o0anapher0o @piratefalls @duchessdepolignaca03 @onthewaytosomewhere! can't wait to get to your words!

listen, this is not new or surprising news, but I am living in my tummy fic universe. it is in my head rent free. and so i'm forcing everyone to come along with me (threatening but affectionate). this week i'm working on a more explicit companion fic to the original, involving some lots of teasing and dom-my Alex and i'm really really excited about it >:) it's still early, so nothing too crazy yet, but here's a bit from that:

Henry turns back and sees Alex sitting up and grinning at him as he shoves a bookmark in his novel and pushes it onto the coffee table. “You’re sleeping.”  “I was, until some flaxen-haired vixen kissed me. Get over here.” Alex quirks one eyebrow at him and fuck, Henry’s his, hook, line and sinker.  Henry goes over to the couch and climbs up, sitting in Alex’s lap. He can’t help but notice the tiny grunt that falls from Alex’s lips acknowledging the weight of Henry atop him. It brings a soft flush to his cheeks, knowing that Alex can feel every ounce of him pressed into his own body. Henry kisses Alex hungrily, nibbling on his lower lip gently. “Missed you,” he says softly into Alex’s mouth. Alex slides his hands over Henry’s hips, holds him steady.

sigh, here's the tea y'all: I was p much convinced I was not going to do a WIP Wednesday today. I'm not mentally in it, I'm feeling run down and useless, and my ability to write has gone out the window as of right now. But I found this lil snippy at the end of a doc, waiting to be incorporated into it's home, and I thought I'd share the last line I'd written for wip Wednesday. Thank you forever to @theprinceandagcd , @firenati0n , @piratefalls , @duchessdepolignaca03 , @thesleepyskipper

@onthewaytosomewhere , and @heysweetheart-writes for the tags, y'all are real ones and I appreciate you guys so much <3 (p.s. are tags still broken?? I tried to break it up into five I hope it works)

Henry falls in love with Alex who wears glasses, and Alex who studiously hunches over his desk into the late night until Henry has to pry him and ply him with sweet kisses, convincing him to come to bed.

Since it's so late I'm going to leave this tag open, and say plz tag me if you take it! <3
