(Not So) Six Sentence Sunday!

Hello and welcome to the first Red White and Royal Blue New Year's Gift Exchange!

New Year's? Yes. New Year's.

A lot of fandoms have Christmas gift exchanges or Secret Santa events, and while we love those, it does get a little busy in the run up to Christmas.

Plus, New Year's Eve is when the Firstprince story really started!

So we went with a New Year's gift exchange instead.

And what better way to start the new year than with a RWRB gift?

All gifts are due January 1st 2024, whether that's one minute after midnight (on the night from December 31st to January 1st) or one minute before midnight (from January 1st to January 2nd) is entirely up to you.

Interested? We hope so!

Sign ups are open NOW until December 1st! Head over to our sign up form and join the fun!

If you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask.

Tagging a few RWRB blogs because tumblr is hiding our post from the tags. Please reblog to spread the word!

My take on what could have happened if Arthur was there the first time Alex and Henry met at Rio 💛

Last Line Challenge!

Not me, literally thinking about taking part in this challenge today despite not being tagged because I am utterly obsessed with the last line I wrote, and then @vanillahigh00 tagged me and made my whole day. Thank you, thank you, thank you, love for allowing me to share something I am incredibly proud of!

It’s Alex slipping every unspoken word of love on his tongue into Henry’s mouth and Henry swallowing every syllable.

Throwing out lots and lots of no-pressure tags to: @kiwiana-writes, @heybuddy-drabbles, @inexplicablymine, @sparklepocalypse, @daisymae-12, @oneofthewednesdays, @statueinthestonetoo, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, @ssmtskw, @rockyroadkylers, @cricketnationrise, @affectionatelyrs, @anincompletelist, @ships-to-sail, @indestructibleheart, @suseagull04, and @littlemisskittentoes. Share those incredible last lines!

okay but can you imagine being Liam and having gone through years of being closeted and in love with your best friend that you sometimes messed around with but then both thoroughly no-homo'd so it wouldn't mean anything and you graduate and finally come out and stop talking to that guy for your own mental health and you move on AND FOUR YEARS AFTER that dude calls you up while you're trying to have a nice little brunch with your sweet southern boyfriend like "wait uh were we gay in high school" like you JUST got over this wtf and try not to think about it only to see that same guy! getting outed for his SEX SCANDAL with the LITERAL PRINCE OF ENGLAND

anyway Liam went through it

Six Sentence Sunday

Greetings, my dearest loves. So...I find myself in a bit of a block right now, where I CAN write, but it feels like I'm walking uphill through quicksand to do it, and I'm convinced that all of it is garbage. So if y'all have any extra special words that might change my mind and maybe pull me from this funk, I would greatly appreciate it.

That being said, I do currently have...about 10? or so different WIPs in varying states of disarray living in my docs from which to choose a Six Sentence Sunday snippet, and this one I actually did write this week, while in the throes of this Writer's Block.

This little piece is from my upcoming song inspired fic, Come Back to Me, which is a gift I've been meaning to give @thinkof-england for literal months now and is almost finished.

Thank you, as always, to those who typed my little username into their tag lists today (bless you all): @kiwiana-writes @getmehighonmagic @tintagel-or-cockleshells @cricketnationrise Y'all inspire me to keep on writing, always.

Dream scenario, be damned. The spark of Henry’s mouth on his is more than he ever could have dreamt, in a million versions over countless years. It consumes him entirely, burning away the charred remains of what was left of his heart the night that Henry left to expose the still-beating organ beneath. It’s a flood, pulling him under the waves and daring him to come up for air, a request he doesn’t ever plan on honoring. It’s the storm still raging outside the windows, a spiderweb of lightning spreading across the sky above before an angry clap of thunder expresses its impatience at being asked to wait as they dance together in the heavens, never one without the other. It’s Henry who pulls back first, breathless, pressing his forehead firmly into Alex’s and inhaling deeply through his nose, eyes closed, as if committing every detail of this moment to memory.

Putting tags out there for as many people as I can (and if you want to be added to this list, please reach out, the more the merrier). I'm always so ready to scream into all of your tags on my reblogs, so just get ready. And as always, consider this an open tag as well! Feel free to tag me in all of the things!

Six Sentence Sunday

Took a break from writing the introspective rimming to smash out some hockey player Alex PWP, but now that that's published I'm right back on my bullshit.

Alex’s smile fades into something closer to bewilderment for a moment, and then he rolls his eyes with a huff. “For fuck’s sake, H,” he says, and he’s grinning again, which does somewhat take the sting out of the fact that Henry is very clearly being made fun of. “I. Showered.” Which… right. Somehow, despite using even fewer words than he did before, Alex has managed to make himself exceptionally clear. It first came up fairly early on—possibly the only thing that could have successfully distracted Henry from the knowledge that Alex had started watching gay porn was the earnest, flushed way he’d asked whether this was actually something people did in real life—and has been a regular feature of their phone sex since.

Forever feeling feral for whatever y'all are up to, so tagging @affectionatelyrs @anincompletelist @blairwaldcrf @cha-melodius @clottedcreamfudge @cricketnationrise @cultofsappho @daisymae-12 @dumbpeachjuice @getmehighonmagic @happiness-of-the-pursuit @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @indestructibleheart @indomitable-love @inexplicablymine @leaves-of-laurelin @myheartalivewrites @orchidscript @rmd-writes @sherryvalli @ships-to-sail @smc-27 @sparklepocalypse @ssmtskw @stereopticons @tintagel-or-cockleshells @welcometololaland and, as always, anyone who wants to play! (If you take the open tag please tag me so I can see!!)

Forget about killing two birds with one stone, Alex, along with June and Nora, was going to take out a whole flock.
