Bestie is watching Stranger Things S2 for the first time and her commentary is top tier 👌🏻
A whatsapp screenshot of three messages, all from the same sender. Message 1: (in quote) You: “Will Steve ever be happy again” the real question 😭😭 (end quote) And why is Billy like. Being nice to him in a very mean homoerotic way. Message 2: I’m gonna give you basketball tips and then stand aggressively close in the shower!! Message 3: Like dude. Relax. This is not heated rivalry you can back off. (Crying laughing emoji reaction)

Chapter cover for Tastes Like Heartbreak and Mistakes (but I can't wait). A scattered set of polaroids of Alex and Henry, together and separately, with a shot of the St. Kilda's boardwalk in Melbourne, Australia in the centre. Chapter 2 is titled 'Mishaps You Bubble Wrap'.

From the next (👀) chapter of TLHaM.
“Fight what–,” he begins to argue but she yawns down the line at him, and he feels another pang of guilt. “I should let you sleep. I’m sorry for waking you up,” he tells her and she hums. “Don’t worry about it. I’m here for all crises, sexuality or otherwise,” she replies and he grins, even if she can’t see it.

This is a surprise though! I went through a phase at the start of the year when I listened to Lord Huron a lot while writing, but that petered out…

From a future chapter of TLHaM!

“Let’s hope I don’t get bitten to death,” he says morosely and Alex laughs. The hotel has fallen quiet as the night has drawn in, though they can see a bustle of activity in a bar on the ground floor. “That’s the Long Bar,” Henry says, tilting his wine glass at the floor-to-ceiling windows, where Alex can see tiled floor. “Birthplace of the Singapore Sling apparently. Oh, and you can also litter in there!” he adds. Alex frowns at him.

#SnippetSunday. @clrmntdzfx.bsky.social bullied me into sprinting.

#rwrbwip #rwrbfic
Alex does up his flies and tucks his shirt back into his chinos as Henry runs a hand through his hair. It still looks rumpled, and if anyone looked closely, they'd know exactly what they'd been doing to each other, but he looks neat enough to go back to the hotel. "Come back with me? Please?" Henry asks, offering his hand. Alex nods and takes it. As they leave the backroom, the man from earlier catches Alex's eye and gives an approving nod.

Over the weekend I got to pick up my Grandma’s rocking chair from my Aunt, and brought it home with me. She passed over 10 years ago, and I still miss her everyday. I’m looking forward to sitting here with a book, like she used to.

Time for my favourite meme!
A triptych from Lord of the Rings; The Fellowship of the Ring. The top image is Pippin looking devastated, captioned (action)!”*Halloween costumes already being taken down*”. The middle image is of Boromir looking frustrated, captioned “Give them a moment’s for pity’s sake”. The bottom image Is of Aragorn looking resigned but determined, captioned “By nightfall these shelves will be swarming with Christmas decorations”.

I can share this, at least.
Whatsapp conversation. Person 1: (gif of Sydney Crosby skating, using his butt to knock another player over) boy’s got a butt and he uses it for crimes. P2: that is going to be Alex. In your fic. P1: using his butt for crimes? P2: yes. Amongst other activities. (Eyes emoji reaction)

Well, since we’re all atwitter about the FP engagement-to-wedding pipeline, can I offer up one of my own fics to fill the void?

Features a joint proposal, Valentine’s Day shenanigans, an intimate lake house wedding AND a big Royal wedding too!

And then Prince Henry of England gives Alex a filthy blowjob in the backroom of a Berlin sex club.

Obviously I can’t share AWY, but have a #sundaysnippet from my multi-chap.

#rwrbwip #rwrbfic
Alex is forcibly yanked backwards, and Henry is there, eyes narrowed, a hand wrapped tightly around Alex’s bicep. His attention is only on the stranger, who looks only politely puzzled. Henry snarls something in German and the man raises his hands in an apologetic move, and then Henry’s dragging Alex away.

2-for-1 special today!

He doesn’t once look Alex’s way. Because Alex is an asshole of the highest order. Alex orders a double whisky, neat, from the open bar and tries not to look like he’s sulking while he sips at it, his back turned to the room. It’s a while before someone slides up next to him, and he’s down to his final dregs of whisky when they finally speak.
