nothing safe is worth the drive (so skip the conversation when you already know)
a firstprince neighbors AU set in 1982 in Texas. created for the Red album for the @thebrownstone's Eras event!
Word count: 4.9k
Rating: T
Important tags: Neighbor AU, historical AU, pining, friends to lovers, summer vacation.
Inspired by Starlight, Holy Ground, & Treacherous.
Excerpt:
“Okay.” Alex kneels in the grass for him once again. Sometimes his summer feels downright Sisyphean. “So you start by…”
His words turn to vapor because, concealed by the slim body of the mower, Henry’s holding his wrist.
Mrs. Hollis can’t see.
He runs a thumb across the back of Alex’s wrist, where his grandfather’s cracked but beloved watch rests. Alex gulps and rests a hand on Henry’s knee slowly, caught in the grass and safe among the dandelions.
This, of all places, is where we can get away from it all. The thought flickers ‘cross his mind like the fucking CNN banner, gone before Alex can read it twice.
“Okay, then,” Alex gulps. “So, first you check the gas tank.” He looks at Henry; has been this whole time. He wonders if Hen’s gaze could cut museum glass in this moment. Could they make a run for it?
Where would they even go?

Every Time My Heart Swings Back to You
Chapter 15 [Complete]
"Promise me," James says, gaze firm as he looks into Gabriel's eyes. "Promise me. Let's meet again." Hundreds of years ago, Prince James and Sir Gabriel fell in love following several chance encounters despite their very different stations in life. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before the two star-crossed lovers met a tragic end due to the anti-sodomy laws of the time, desperately wishing for the chance to meet once more. In the modern day, Alex and Henry are college students who have been haunted by mysterious visions for years. Despite a poor first meeting, the two are inexplicably drawn to each other and the visions grow in number and intensity. Slowly, they try to piece together the story and discover it is that of their past lives. Yet the question remains as to whether it's a past worth remembering and if they can disentangle themselves from the tragedy in this life.

i've forgotten if they're green or they're blue (4/5)
tags: firstprince. rated e. eventually smut. multichap. timeloop/magical realism. chrismas fluff. multiverse. book/movie smash up.
summary: When the worst snowstorm New York city has had since the Great Blizzard of 1947 snows Alex and Henry into their Brownstone, Alex falls into a bizarre dream and awakens in a world much like his own. Only it seems like he's suddenly five inches shorter, five years younger and why is Henry the only person who can tell? 🎄
AKA, Movie Alex falls into Bookverse before he and Henry get together.
[READ FROM THE BEGINNING]
If this were just a dream, Henry wouldn't rip his hand away.
He knows his own mind, or hopes he does, well enough to know that the only dream he would have by now would be one where they had always loved each other and never wasted a single moment pushing it away for so long.
The combination of dread and relief he feels in this moment, when Henry clenches his jaw and tries to subtly wipe his palm on his trousers, is like nothing he has felt before. His knees feel unsteady, wobbling like someone removed the wrong jenga piece from his body somewhere. Probably his heart.
He can tell Henry wants to say something but has no idea where to start, and while his Henry — his fiancé — still isn't always fully comfortable at these sorts of things either, they've come a long way together. Alex knows it's okay to place his hand against the small of his back when bringing him a glass of wine, a gentle arm around his waist when he leads him away from a conversation he is too polite to disengage from but is obvious he wants to to Alex only, because he knows the way he stands when he really wants to walk away.
He knows that he can always reach for Henry's hand, no matter where they are, and Henry is finished pulling away.
It's become as automatic as anything else that they do.
This fact makes his fingers twitch, fighting the urge to reach forward again by shoving his hands into his pockets instead. "Sorry, it's just—"
Henry purses his lips, lips twitching a little. He softens, almost immediately. Like it was easy. "No one teaches you Americans proper etiquette?"
Alex stifles a cough.
Listen, Henry doesn't even realize how unfair he's being.

The 118 Group Chat
3 geniuses and Buck
Buck: Edwardo
Eddie: Not my name, not anyone’s name, stop
Buck: sparkling, strong famous vampire Edward Anthony Cullen
Eddie: I’m blocking your number
Chim: Buck, please don’t tell me May has indoctrinated you with Twilight
Buck: well you let Maddie get into your movie marathons so
Hen: *team Jacob gif*
Tumblr media
Eddie: what did you want Buck?
Buck: where did you put the recipe for Chris’ culture day project? I know you took it
Hen: must you have this conversation in the group chat
Eddie: part of it needed to be adjusted! I put it in the front pocket of his backpack with edits
Buck: Christopher is going to kill you if the tres leches comes out wrong
Eddie: Christopher made tres leches with me and Abuela last month so he knows better
Buck: why is there a wooden spoon in here too?
Eddie: that is Abuela’s special mixing spoon, it makes it taste better, don’t @ me
Buck: since when do you believe in that stuff?!
Chim: seize the imposter!
Chim: hey, what do you think of this photo for the hot fire fighters calendar? *attached image of Chim in a fitted LAFD shirt bending down to take a dandelion from a child wearing his helmet (Jee, back turned to the camera) offering it to him*
Chim: I was going for Mr. April showers turned May flowers who is a lovable family man whose daughter is the cutest and wants to follow in my footsteps because women can do anything men can and probably can do it better but don’t have to leave historical femininity like liking flowers behind but also is fighting gender norms by giving a man the flower and I am of course going to accept because how could you say no to that cute little girl
Buck: 🥹 man you took me there
Eddie: AHSHRKDOSNSHDK
Hen: Chim, you broke them
Chim: that was all Jee, she has her uncles wrapped around her finger lmao
…Inspired by me listening to Red White and Royal Blue on repeat to focus at work. Thank you Casey McQuiston.
As always for @professionalprocrastinator22 and @gravelyhalversobbing

After getting kissed by Prince Alexander exactly once and then getting ghosted, Willie is more than happy to have the opportunity to corner Alex at a White House state dinner some weeks later to express how very much he would like to kiss Alex again and to then do very bad things to him. After dinner of course. Luckily, Alex gets with the programme and Willie gets to do bad things.

For FirstPrince Week 2023 by @thebrownstone
Prompt: Clandestine Meetings
Title: shout into the void
Summary: In which Alex and Henry engage in secret relationship shenanigans out of sheer pettiness and the need to always be right. Yeah, it's mostly Alex's fault.
“Right. Sorry. It’s just, if we date each other, if it comes out that June and Nora set me up with someone I actually like, when I’ve been so vocal about hating their matchmaking, they’ll be unbearable for the rest of our lives.” He explained. “So, let me get this straight,” his voice was shaking with laughter. “You want to go out with me, but you can’t because you’re afraid of how smug your sister and her girlfriend will get.” “You’ve never seen Nora gloating,” Alex muttered darkly. “And June, God. It doesn’t matter that I introduced her to the love of her life, it’ll just be constant harping on how she did.”

Starchaser Oneshot // Kiss Me Goodnight
rated E//just over 4000 words//some very smutty smut but also a fair amount of fluff i think
it's here!!! been working on this one for a hot minute and it turned out significantly more explicit than i expected but i'm not mad about it!
inspired by red white and royal blue by casey mcquiston!!
basically my take on the red room scene and the scene that follows but make it jegulus at hogwarts.
read it here!
endless thanks to @thestarsincapricorn for letting me rant about this while i wrote it and putting up with my ridiculousness <3

firstprince week 2023
posting for @thebrownstone's firstprince week 2023! I am so excited to be a part of this event. I wrote this story for day 3 of the week (prompt: written in the stars.)
AO3 link: little rocking, sailing moon, do you hear me shout?
An AU in which Alex is the moon spirit, Henry is the sun spirit, and Alex is totally jealous but pretending not to be.
“Hey, loser” wasn’t a very polite thing to say to a god, but somehow, many moons ago, it’d become something of a ritual for Alex. He’d wake early each evening to the tapping of his sister’s fingers on his shoulder. It would be time to turn the tides, and he’d need to see Henry. Or, as Alex preferred to call him, ‘His Majesty, the Demonic Light.’ Lately, he’d also been experimenting with ‘Man of Misery, Loathed By All Equatorial Peoples.’ Those nicknames were more extravagant, though. It took longer for Henry to disapprove of them and, by extension, longer for that stubborn, telltale frown to spread across his face. It was… kind of cute? In a sort of twisted way? No, no, it is most definitely not, Alex reminded himself. Henry was nothing more than a thorn in his side. As right hand to the council of the gods, he certainly had more important things than Henry to fixate upon. He shrugged and adjusted the right shoulder-strap of his robe, its silver threads shaking as he swam through the milky sky. Gently, he made his way to the center of the horizon. It was shift change: time for Alex, the moon spirit, to rise. No doubt Henry would be drained from his hours standing in the sky, shedding his light across the globe and to every plant and every weird photosynthetic animal and colony of algae. He could stumble home to his mansion and fall asleep once Alex arrived. Good heavens, Henry was such a fucking nerd about algae. About anything that basked beneath his light or created its own glow, really. Alex grinned at the thought; Henry kept a fat, golden book safely tucked away among the clouds, crammed with sketches and microscopic samples pressed flat between vellum pages.
He’d shown Alex his latest discoveries a few times 一 “the humans in Japan just found this one species, Medakamo hakoo, and they named it after one of their scientific heroes! Isn’t that so unique?” That time, he’d even let Alex trace his fingers across the waxy pages. In moments like those, it became more difficult for Alex to roll his eyes at Henry or to view him as most other gods did: ever-adored, undeserving of his fame, untouchable. They called him Midas behind his back. And it was very fucking difficult to reconcile the fact that Henry might be more than an entitled god. When he at last stepped out of his grandmother’s shadow, he was intimidatingly… sweet. Meek, even. read more on AO3!

I think wwx had been fantasizing about oral sex for a while and I have a rather distinct memory of Lan Wangji sitting down next to him at his desk and sucking on his fingers.

13. Hi, sorry to bother, I have two requests for finding a fic. I wanted to know if anyone remembers A) a fic where A Yuan goes with Wei Wuxian to Jin Ling's A one month celebration. This someone changes the way things go. B) Also another one where A Yuan shows up with Wei Wuxian when he's discussing the Wens being prisoners so people see that there are children in the prisoners camps!! Any story where A Yuan changes things for the better before Wei Wuxian's death. Thank you, be well @monicaop21

~*~
14. Looking for a fic that was on ao3. I remember there was two versions, one where WWX was a man and another where he was a woman and he decided to fake his death I think? And leave the cultivation world behind. He/she had twin sons that were A-Yuan and Jingyi I believe and then in the end LWJ who is the father of the twins but he doesn’t know it, fakes his death and finds them by an anonymous tip *cough cough* NHS who had tried to get WWX to rejoin the cultivation world earlier when NMJ died. @bigmeatycl0ws
~*~
15. y’all are doing the gods work with this blog and this is coming from an atheist XD
anywho i’m looking for a specific fic (or was it series?) where the premise is the swords are spirits that can manifest in a human body. wwx is one such sword called suibian, as is lwj. the story starts (i think) with wwx being jc’s sword and they don’t really get along/harmonise (big surprise)
there’s some world building of a story of xxc being a self wielding sword and getting tricked by xy and either doing bad stuff and then dying or just dying.
uh it ends with wwx and lwj proving to the golden tower (the peeps that hold the swords because they’re too innocent or whatevs to be alone out in the wild) that they can handle their own. there’s a line in there about how they’re not self-wielding swords, but swords that wield each other.
wwx was previously lwj’s human under the name wwx something one or both of them forgot.
there’s some scene after about wwx meeting jc’s new sword and there being some antagonism between them (new sword throwing tantrum and wwx being chaotic but solving the problem as usual)???
think author said it was inspired slightly by touken ranbu? or some other sword person anime/game thing?
this is so detailed it’s bothering me so much but i can’t find it and i’m at the point where i’m doubting if it existed ;-; @tabbycallie​
FOUND! swords, i guess by victortor (T, 26k, wangxian, swords au, asexual character, asexual LWJ)
~*~
16. Please help me find a fic! I think it was a WWX's Parents Live fic, but I can't be sure. I remember that LQR had a good opinion of him at the start of the guest lectures. There's a scene where LQR is talking about talismans, and has WWX take out all of the talismans he has on him. WWX has a whole system set up for combat talismans in one sleeve and general use talismans in the other, and he lectures about their unique uses and value and a bunch of sect heirs get angry at him for showing them up, and I think there's a fight later? But I really don't remember much beyond that. @lewiscarrolatemybrain​
FOUND! From the Warm Sun by sunshine_sparrow (T, 58k, WangXian, CSSR & WWX, CSSR & LQR, Discussion of Rape, Period-Typical Sexism, Mostly CQL but probably some MDZS too, CSSR Lives, Madam Lán Lives, Qingheng-jun lives, But WCZ Still Dies, Fix-It, Happy Ending, All Soft and Very Little Angst, the wens live, Yīn Iron, Good Person MY, Good Person LQR) The scene with the talismans is in chapter 4.
~*~
17. Hello, thank you guys for all of your hard work! Don’t remember if this was book or cql canon but im looking for a fic where post WWX death lwj travels to another world where wwx is still alive during the cr lectures and older lwj, young WWX and young lwj end up sleeping together and then nhs comes and brings lwj back to their og world fulfill his grand plan
~*~
18. Hi! I have already asked this before but i can't remember the title again. So i am asking for your help once again.
So like, the cultivation world needs yiling laozu's help and they tried to summon him using mo xuanyu but they failed since yl Iz appeared in his own original body and not in mxy. Anyway so history repeats itself, wwx knows everybody especially lan zhan cuz he his "friend" that time. They became curious about wwx, they found his journal and he kept talking about this certain friend eventually they found out the friend's name is lan zhan lan wangji. Time skip they found out that Iwj reincarnated, he looks exactly the same as wwx's friend. Lxc said it was impossible cuz all their ancestors died because of an explosion that was caused by wwx back in the day.
There is this spefic scene, wwx kept blaming himself because he was the reasom why Iz died, ok so Iz married a woman (arranged marriage) and had child with her, wy was heartbroken and told Iz that he has feelings for him, Iz also has feelings for him, so when Iz heard that the sects will have a siege in burial mounds he went there and protected wy then something happened and the surroundings explode.
Anyway, they have come to a conclusion that wy is an immortal, he took care of Iz's child, Iz reincarnated he fought really hard to keep his body and appearance the same @hellothere9597​

So me being me, of course my brain has been toying with a Willex Red White & Royal Blue AU since becoming obsessed with the movie and the book but I don’t think I will actually write it because, though having some changes, it’d still be so close to rwarb that it wouldn’t be that exciting but I thought I’d share my ideas for it for Willex Wednesday this week and you guys can imagine the scenes for yourself without me having to write a whole long fic about it.
So. Long musings to follow (it helps if you know the book/movie but you don’t really need to if you’re just here for some fun willex au though there will be tons of spoilers of course). Also there be some smut here because these are two horny idiots for sure!
Also thanks to @merihn for looking it over and making sure that the changes I've introduced to the rwarb plot fit the new characters.
Okay, here we go.
On the American side we have Caleb as the president (yes, I know, it’s a man now but he would have so much fun being a politician and making everyone his bitch). 
Willie is his nephew who has been living with him since his own parents died in a car crash when he was like five. He’s not really that interested in politics per se though he supports the more liberal side of his uncle’s program. Generally though, he dislikes the whole publicity stuff and would be much happier just being an obscure kid skating around. He is, however, out as bisexual. I know that an important part of rwarb-book!Alex’s journey as a character is his discovery of being bisexual but I just cannot picture Willie not knowing he’s attracted to guys. Or being able to hide that. So he knows and the country knows. He mostly tries to stay out of trouble but he doesn’t always quite manage.
Rose Molina is Caleb’s Vice President (with Ray as her puppy husband who’s too nice for politics, really) and so Willie and Julie live together in the White House and are best friends. Julie’s other best friend is Flynn (they go to the same college?) so they mostly hang out as a trio.
Willie has been slightly into Prince Alexander from the British Royals since he was a teen, ever since seeing a poster of him in some teen magazine (because I love that bit from the book!!). Although I’ve also been toying with the idea of him discovering him much earlier and including him in his childhood games, ie. saving or being saved by Prince Alexander and stuff like that. Very innocent of course but I think it’d be cute.
But the first time he actually meets him at some official thing (Melbourne Climate Conference ;D) goes really poorly.
Switching over to the British side: Alex is of course our repressed English prince. If I actually wrote the thing it’d mean finding a bit of a new voice for him that’s a blend of jatp!Alex and rwarb!Henry but for this little headcanon thing, it doesn’t really matter all that much.
Alex’s grandfather is the king, his parents are both still alive and massive assholes and very overbearing. He has an older brother (let’s keep Philip) who is also an ass. And he used to have a sister but she died (switching up the rwarb trauma backstory wound but it makes more sense for me with canon jatp stating his parents were ‘not really cool’). His sister was the only one in the family he really got along with and trusted so now she’s dead he’s even more isolated. He is, naturally, gay as a maypole but of course he hides that because he has to maintain the traditional royal image and also because of anxiety.
Getting back to that first meeting of Alex and Willie: Alex basically falls in love/into attraction with Willie at first sight but also knows it is a VERY bad idea so he tries to keep as far away from him as possible. Also it’s shortly after his sister died and the Palace insists on parading him around so he’s just generally not in a good state and being a panicky prick, basically.
For Willie though, it reads as ‘of course the pretty prince is really just a stuck up elite and entitled white boy who’s a massive homophobe (and also maybe a racist).” An impression that is cemented afterwards because Alex keeps on avoiding him.
Since Willie isn’t that confrontational, I think he’d go about his rivalry a little differently than rwarb!Alex, so I just picture him and Julie, with Flynn’s invaluable help, starting to prank Alex whenever possible. Nothing too serious because he’s still a British prince and they can’t afford an international incident (hah!) but just in a subtle way that could almost be accidental. 
Alex does realise what’s going on but he’s almost relieved because if Willie dislikes him there’s less chance of bad things happening between them (ie kissing). So he plays along with the animosity and acts the petty prick around Willie so Willie will never ever become a danger to him and his hidden homosexuality.
And then, of course, they topple into a cake at a Royal wedding (Phillip’s) and suddenly have to play nice with each other. Maybe the whole cakecate is less Willie being confrontational and more they crash into the cake because maybe Willie wasn’t looking where he was going and stumbled and grabbed the nearest thing to stabilise himself (Alex) but they just both topple the cake in the progress. The end result, however, is the same: they’re on the floor, covered in cake, and the whole world gets to see and laugh and there is an international incident after all.
I’ve cast Aunt Victoria in Zahra’s role as campaign manager. Different vibe than in rwarb but I think her mixture of affection for the children and strictness could work really well here. I’m not sure if she’s actually Rose’s sister but she does have all the children call her Tia anyway. Couldn’t really find a match for Shaan in jatp canon so he stays as Alex’s equerry (aka personal assistant). They can totally have a love affair on the side as well. Good for you, Victoria!
Anyway, Willie gets sent over to London to do damage control and to pretend he and Alex have been best friends for ages. Willie does not look forward to it. Alex is getting slightly panicky but tells himself everything will be fine. Because it’s going to be totally fine, right? Sure …
They do the photo ops and interviews, hiding their animosity behind polite petty backstabbing, and then go to visit sick children in the hospital for a PR thing and then get shoved into a closet together at the perceived threat of a gunman (really just a kid bringing fireworks for a friend). I’ve cast Dante and Fuego as Willie’s secret service agents, btw.
So, closet time. Willie is not happy but Alex is now really having a panic attack so Willie helps him through it, because Alex may be a dick but panic attacks are no jokes. A little bonding experience but not the talk they have in rwarb.
Still, once Willie is back in the states he starts texting Alex to check up on him (I guess they officially swapped phone numbers for the whole ‘pretending to be friends’ thing) and they start talking.
Alex knows it’s a bad idea to get closer to Willie but Willie is very insistent and charming and hard to say no to so they talk more and more and Alex lets more and more of his real personality shine through and Willie is fascinated how different Alex, the guy in his phone, is to Prince Alexander. So far, it’s just a bit of fun for Willie, and he keeps the flirting light. But he loves the sarcasm and intelligence and honesty he gets to see from Alex.
Alex, of course, just falls deeper in love with him and suffers.
Also I think Willie is the only person really calling him “Alex” instead of “Alexander” aside from his sister (dead) and his best mates, Luke and Reggie (yes, that makes them British. Yes, I can’t really picture that either. Just go with it. Or maybe they’re American exchange students who stuck around. I’m sad to say they’re not all that important here so just go with whatever version you prefer). And I think that is not very helpful for Alex.
At Willie and Julie’s famous New Year Party, Alex is required to put in an appearance and things are going fine even though Alex has to struggle hard to hide how much he is in love with Willie. Flynn totally clocks it though. And Luke and Reggie already know of course (they were brought along as moral support and so they can meet the girls).
Since their friends helpfully ignore them and abscond, Alex and Willie talk a lot. Willie tries to get Alex to dance, but although Alex loves dancing, he doesn’t really do that in public so he’s a bit stiff and reluctant.
At the chime of midnight, though, things fall apart (how fairytale of them) because Alex watches Willie being kissed by random people, both girls and guys, and he flees the party tent, unable to handle it. Only Willie gets the absolutely wrong idea. Because he thinks that his first impression of Alex as a stuck up homophobe was the right one. That Alex went along with the texting and chatting only for as long as he wasn’t reminded of Willie’s queerness but the moment he sees him kissing a guy, it’s all back.
So he follows Alex, intent on confronting him but when he accuses Alex of being homophobic, out there in the snow, Alex just laughs a little hysterically and denies it (hello beloved squeaky voice). Willie doesn’t believe him and pushes and then Alex’s brain short circuits, he says “Okay” and he kisses him.
It has the desired effect of shutting Willie up but of course that kiss was exactly what Alex had tried to avoid so he flees once again. Now the whole continent.
Willie, on the other hand, calls in an emergency meeting with Julie and Flynn the next day (both of whom are very sad that Luke and Reggie disappeared along with the prince) to discuss what happened. Flynn immediately claps her hand and smugly declares that she called that, Julie is swept up in the romance of it until Flynn reminds everyone that “honey, princes aren’t allowed to be gay.”
Except Willie doesn’t want to accept that because now he’s been kissed he can’t stop thinking of Alex. Or rather, he realises that that has been the case for so long he can’t even remember when it started. And he definitely wants to be kissed again. And kiss back. And do other things to Alex.
Alex ignores all texts and calls though and drives Willie near mad but he does appear, as promised, at the state dinner thing as Willie’s guest some weeks later. He avoids Willie but Willie gets Dante to help him arrange a clandestine meeting in an adjacent room and while Alex steels himself to stammer his way through an awkward apology, Willie hardly lets him say anything at all before kissing the living daylights out of him. And Alex is utterly unable to resist Willie.
They get interrupted but Willie tells him to come to his room at midnight where he wants to do bad things to him.
Midnight comes and passes and Willie gets more and more antsy, worried he may have gotten everything wrong after all but maybe ten minutes later, there’s a hesitant knock at his door.
“You’re late” - “I know. I wasn’t sure if this wasn’t all a big mistake.” - “And now?” - “Now I know it’s a big mistake but I don’t seem able to care.”
Willie grins happily and pulls him inside and continues to kiss the living daylights out of Alex, who kisses him back with a mixture of reservation and desperation that Willie finds very intoxicating. Just like his responsiveness to Willie giving him a blowjob. Alex doesn’t return the favour but he does help him get off with his very nice hand so Willie doesn’t mind. He only regrets it a little bit that it wasn’t the hand with the signet ring because that would have been even hotter.
They have the talk about keeping things casual and for Willie, that’s truly his intention. Alex, of course, already knows he’s in love but he thinks it will be fine as long as Willie doesn’t return his feelings, he’s only hurting himself after all, and he truly doesn’t expect Willie to fall in love with him so they’re totally fine, right? Sure …
They manage to hook up again at Alex’s charity polo match, and Willie is the one taking the lead again, Alex mostly just responding very enthusiastically.
It’s when they’re meeting up in Paris (I forgot the book reason, the movie doesn’t give one so who really cares) that Willie asks Alex how long he’s known he’s gay.
“Just slightly longer than I knew princes aren’t supposed to be gay. Or if they are, they certainly aren’t allowed to act on it.”
Willie declares that to be bullshit and teases Alex that surely he didn’t follow that verdict. And is very surprised when Alex says that he did indeed do just that (divergence from rwarb!Henry but at least in this verse, I don’t see Alex doing casual hook-ups what with his anxiety and the pressure from his family).
“So …”
“So I only kissed one other boy before you. When I was five. Which was when my parents sat me down and explained how it was my duty to never ever do that again because it would upset everyone very much and surely I didn’t want that.”
“So that first time we …”
“...was indeed my first time,” Alex admits.
Willie is shocked and he also suddenly gets the whole reservation/desperation thing Alex has going on.
“You totally had me fooled,” Willie says, a little impressed. 
“I’ve had a lot of practice pretending to be things I’m not, darling. Although you make it very hard to pretend anything around you.”
Since they actually have use of a hotel room this time around, Willie is now determined to give Alex a proper first time. So he proposes that they ‘make love’ and Alex is very nervous but also very determined. He tries telling himself that it won’t change anything. That it won’t change anything for Willie. That he’s just being nice to him. Sure …
Except Willie very much falls in love with Alex, even if he doesn’t quite admit it to himself yet. Besides, Alex wants to keep it casual, right? He’s probably just using Willie to finally get some dick. Which Willie can’t even blame him for. So it’s fine, right? Sure …
Willie offers to bottom but Alex surprises him when he says he wants to feel Willie inside of him.
“You sure?” - “Just because I haven’t had sex with another person yet doesn’t mean I haven’t experimented.”
Willie nearly combusts trying to imagine Alex “experimenting.”
They do in fact make love and it’s way more intimate than either of them thought possible. Cue very important image of Alex urging Willie deeper with a hand pressing down on the small of his back ;P
And then it’s back to long distance texting and calling. Alex starts writing emails to Willie which he never sends. He just needs to pour out his longing and love and thoughts somehow, keeping them out of the actual texts he swaps with Willie, which are carefully just horny and not soft.
They hook up again some time later, which is when Aunt Victoria busts them and nearly has a heart attack and does a lot of swearing in Spanish and forces Willie to tell his uncle.
Caleb, the gossip loving bitch, is honestly impressed by Willie managing to hook up with a real prince but as the president, he does have to caution Willie not to fuck everything up and to figure out if he feels forever about Alex because a relationship like that will define his life one way or another. But Willie isn’t really sure about that at that point. Because while Paris blew his mind, he and Alex are back to being vaguely casual about everything so who knows what’s actually going on here. He sure doesn’t.
Except then one fateful day Alex is maybe a little drunk or maudlin (maybe something to do with his sister’s death anniversary or something else that triggered that) and lets it slip that these emails exist. And of course Willie immediately needs to read ALL of them and needles and prods Alex until Alex goes “fuck it” and sends them, immediately regretting it and closing his laptop and burying himself in his bed to hide. 
And Willie, well, he is overwhelmed by this deepest truth Alex just revealed to him. The emails paint a picture of him he hardly dares believe is truly how Alex sees him. They contain all of Alex’s love and his hurts and thoughts about the monarchy and they are so truly and utterly Alex that their shared texts so far pale by comparison. And Alex shared all of that with him. Laid himself bare. Opened himself completely to Willie, body and heart and soul.
It does a pretty solid number on him and for a few days he is actually just truly overwhelmed (because canon Willie doesn’t handle things getting serious all that well, does he?) and doesn’t know what to say to Alex.
Except he misses Alex more than ever before (and yes, all the while Alex suffers acutely from thinking he just ruined it all).
Willie eventually texts back and invites Alex to hang out at his uncle’s luxury cabin in the woods for labour day weekend where they can really talk (he can also bring Luke and Reggie because Julie and Flynn will be there as well and they demanded he ask for Alex to bring his friends). 
Alex is convinced it’s a bad idea but he goes anyway. Luke and Reggie might convince him for purely selfish reasons because they want to hang out with the girls, but Alex is also too desperate to see Willie again even though he is 100% sure it’s a very bad idea.
Things are new and strange between them but also softer than ever before and while Alex panics inside about the possibility of Willie actually, inexplicably falling in love with him, he is also unable to tear himself away.
They have a great weekend together and go into a bar in town, trying for incognito but the whole Secret Service and Alex’s bodyguards thing is a bit on the nose (plus everybody was warned away from filming them etc, you know, super not suspicious). Willie falls even deeper in love when he watches Alex absolutely killing it at karaoke (after some vodka shots or many). That man can both sing and move when he forgets he is being watched and Willie is not okay!
Alex only drank all the alcohol because he tried to shut up the voices in his head worrying about the whole ‘this wasn’t supposed to get serious’ thing.
But it’s fine, right? Sure …
And then the next day has Willie just about saying out loud that he is in love with Alex, except Alex flees again before Willie can get the words out. First the bathing platform and then the continent. Again. Luke and Reggie are not happy but mostly they’re just worried.
Alex disappears into his cocoon phase, determined to nip the whole thing in the bud even though it seems a little late and he really shouldn’t have let it get that far.
Willie goes crazy over Alex’s radio silence and while Flynn is all in favour of pranking Alex in retaliation and enacting some kind of revenge, Julie suggests he should use his air miles and go to London and maybe talk to Alex first. Flynn suggests he take some eggs with him just in case. He doesn’t of course. I’m not sure you can even import eggs to the UK from America in your carry-on luggage.
Anyway. So Willie flies to London and storms a palace in the rain to confront his prince. It goes pretty much as in the movie, with Alex declaring he can’t afford to have a relationship because of the whole prince thing. And that this has been a big mistake from the beginning and he shouldn’t have done it and Willie was never supposed to fall in love with him. That he was never meant to get hurt in this.
“What about you?” - “It was always too late for me.”
Except Willie doesn’t back down and while he isn’t as forceful as rwarb!Alex in that scene, he uses his pitiable puppy dog eyes, and the shivering and hugging himself to full effect and sadly declares that he will only go if Alex directly tells him to go.
Cue “Don’t make me” and Willie getting the first inkling of hope that Alex will not actually be able to tell him to go. And of course Alex can’t.
Instead he takes him to the Victoria & Albert museum and tells him how he always wanted to bring someone he loved here and dance with him amidst the statues. He starts dancing on his own, slowly, without music, but then Willie pulls up a song on his phone and draws Alex into his arms and dances with him and it is everything Alex always wanted and Alex decides that he cannot lose this. Cannot lose Willie. They’re both determined to make it work somehow and Alex sends Willie home with his signet ring while he receives the key to Willie’s childhood home in return that Willie is always wearing (and hey, isn’t that a neat coincidence that Willie canonically already comes equipped with a key?! ;D)
They keep writing emails to each other, baring their souls, and then of course these same emails get hacked and published for the whole world to read.
In place of Miguel in the movie, I imagine the creepy Hollywood Ghost Club guy maybe worked on Caleb’s campaign and had a crush on Willie but when he made his move on him, Willie declined. He did not take that well, left the campaign and started working as a sleazy journalist who somehow gets hold of a picture or video of Alex and Willie at that karaoke bar and puts the clues together.
And it’s bad for Willie, because it is an invasion of his privacy but at least the world already knew he was also into guys. It just learns how much Willie hates being in the spotlight and misses the freedom of just skating down the street like a normal guy again.
It’s so much worse for Alex though because now his whole careful prince persona is absolutely shattered and everyone knows the deepest secrets of his heart. That he is gay. That he can be a sarcastic little shit (which princes are also not supposed to be). That he loves literature, music and dance. And that he hates being a prince and thinks the monarchy is an antiquated institution. It’s all out there for everyone to read and he is sure that everybody absolutely hates him now.
The palace forbids any communication and they take away Alex’s phone and Willie is once more driven crazy with the radio silence although he is very sure that this time it’s not Alex’s decision and that Alex is doing much worse because he doesn’t even have a supportive family that stands behind him as he does (because Caleb, Victoria and the Molinas + Flynn are all absolutely there for him).
He makes the speech from the movie, confirming the relationship and rallying against the invasion of privacy and Alex’s forced, non-consensual outing, and reminding the world that this has always been at the heart of the queer liberation movement, the right to decide when or if to come out. He braces the journalists and the camera flashes and gives that speech even though he hates giving speeches and hopes that Alex sees it. So he knows that nothing has changed for Willie. That he still loves him and stands by him. Even if the whole world turns against them.
Victoria finally manages to get Alex on the phone for Willie thanks to Shaan and Alex is Very Not Okay and even through the phone Willie can hear that Alex is close to a panic attack again. He immediately leaves for London.
The rest pretty much goes as in the movie. Alex and Willie are called in to talk to the king (Alex’s parents being present and being very judgemental) and His Majesty tries to convince Alex to deny everything and pretend it is all fake and a ruse to destroy his reputation etc yada bla but (since a sister is not at hand) I think Shaan comes in on the heels of the palace guy talking to the king and alerts Alex to the crowds gathering in support outside Buckingham Palace. Alex finally stands up to his parents and grandfather and he and Willie officially declare their relationship in front of the crowd.
They are very happy.
There might also be some election stuff going on but tbh, I’m not all too concerned with that.
Also, at some point, Willie asks Alex if he wants to have kids and Alex says no because whatever happens, his life will never be normal and he doesn’t want that for his kids. He never wanted to give any heirs to the institution of the British monarchy and even considered sterilisation to make sure of that. He might still go through with that. Also, selfishly, if he abdicates and escapes he wants to live the life he always wanted, which is absolutely fine with Willie. They can be cool gay uncles to all of their friends’ kids without tying themselves down too much, rejecting the heteronormative happy ending with 2.5 kids and a picket fence, and instead enjoying their freedom.
So that’s the Willex Red White & Royal Blue AU I won’t write. Except for giving you 4.4k of headcanons for it ;D
