ao3 is down, which means I can’t do my night routine (read hurt/comfort fics where character A is having a nightmare and character B calms them down)

I saw you love red, white, and royal blue and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president and her secret sapphic relationship/bearded marriage with her mlm best friend. It also includes a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. An entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!
Hii!!
Honestly I hadn't heard about it but it sound so interesting and cool omg??? It’s definetly going to be either my next read or to be added to my reading list...thank you so so much for the rec!! ♡

They way Henry said ‘Most people are.’ in such a straightforward and easy way when Alex says he can’t believe how wrong he’s been about him. It hurts so much because it just shows that this wonderful person has only very rarely been able to show himself, open up, be who he wants to be. So glad he’s found Alex.

AN INCOMPLETE LIST: THINGS I LOVE ABOUT HRH PRINCE HENRY OF WALES:
1. The sound of your laugh when I piss you off. (@magsalecs)
2. The way you smell underneath your fancy cologne, like clean linens but somehow also fresh grass (what kind of magic is this?). (@alexshenry)
3. That thing you do where you stick out your chin to try to look tough. (@tylerposey)
4. How your hands look when you play piano. (@nostalgiaisabitchhuh)
5. All the things I understand about myself now because of you. (@userstede)
6. How you think Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars (wrong) because deep down you're a gigantic, sappy, embarrassing romantic who just wants the happily ever after. (@magsalecs)
7. Your ability to recite Keats. (@magsalecs)
8. Your ability to recite Bernadette's "Don't let it drag you down" monologue from Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. (@darwinsfinchesx)
9. How hard you try. (@sheisraging)
10. How hard you've always tried. (@stevenrogered)
11. How determined you are to keep trying. (@simon-eriksson)
12. That when your shoulders cover mine, nothing else in the entire stupid world matters. (@magsalecs)
13. The goddamn issue of Le Monde you brought back to London with you and kept and have on your nightstand (yes, I saw it). (@sheisraging)
14. The way you look when you first wake up. (@magsalecs)
15. Your shoulder-to-waist ratio. (@gay-bucky-barnes)

17. Your equally huge dick. (@tylerposey)
18. The face you just made when you read that last one. (@uglygreenjacket)
19. The way you look when you first wake up (I know I already said this, but I really, really love it). (@magsalecs)
20. The fact that you loved me all along. (@magsalecs)
— I can't match you for prose, but what I can do is write you a list.
Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (2019) and Matthew Lopez (2023)

seems like now is a good time for a follow up to that last post
so, my thing about alex claremont diaz is that like, he’s not stupid and i don’t know why the fandom acts like he is (actually, no, i do know the answer. it’s because he’s a neurodivergent moc). he’s not really that oblivious either (i mean, he is a little bit, but not nearly as much as everyone makes him out to be), just very repressed because he grew up in an environment where being queer just wasn’t something he could do. sure, his family isn’t homophobic, but he still went to a public high school in texas and was on the lacrosse team. he and nora literally talk about how he loves texas, but always felt like their love for him was conditional. mix that with feeling like he needs to be perfect for everyone around him and his goal of congress by thirty, it’s no fuckin wonder he didn’t figure it out sooner.
also, according to the author, he has undiagnosed adhd. neurodivergent communication is different! we say things and do things and interpret things differently than neurotypical people, so something that seems obvious from an outsiders perspective isn’t as obvious to us. “how did alex not realize all the subtle hints henry was giving him!” because,,, we aren’t always great with subtle hints like that???
the “rivalry” with henry might seem ridiculous to you, but it actually makes a ton of sense to me? like, alex is a brown kid being tossed head first into a world historically built for and dominated by white, straight, neurotypical people. even if he hadn’t entirely realized that he was 0/3 of those things, it still felt like he was being pushed away from something he needed to belong in.
it’s mentioned in the closet scene (which is an important scene for both of their developments, actually, and shouldn’t just be reduced to the scene where alex realizes he’s an asshole, but actually as the scene where they realize each others motivations that kept the whole mess going) that part of why alex hates henry is that they’re constantly being compared. honestly, that line hit so fucking hard. being compared to your white peers, especially when they’ve only put in half the work you have, is so fucking infuriating. alex worked so hard for so many years and has so many dreams and goals he’s fighting for, and then this rich white kid shows up doing absolutely nothing and getting the same amount of praise. i’m not saying that henry had no goals or anything, but from alex’s perspective, henry was given the world on a fucking silver platter and decided to go sit quietly with his dog instead of doing anything useful with it.
(also, despite what everyone else says, i don’t think alex would just not realize that nora and june are dating for like a year or whatever and need to have it gently explained to him by everyone else like he’s three. that’s not who alex is. he knows his sister, and he knows his best friend.)
alex claremont-diaz is not stupid, and you all really need to stop acting like he is. (and maybe think about the reasons why you think he’s stupid)
