Thank you @ssmtskw @kiwiana-writes @anincompletelist @littlemisskittentoes @happiness-of-the-pursuit and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for the tags! :)
Here's another snippet from my Flashback When You Met Me - this is in scene one from the first time that Alex noticed Henry and it makes me laugh (and maybe I need encouragement to keep writing this fic)
Nora sneaks another investigative look over her shoulder. “I thought you usually hated the pretentious type.” She isn’t wrong. Usually, the whole stiff-collar-and-pressed-slacks thing would send Alex running — he has no interest in dating some stuck-up-dude-bro who thrives off of daddy’s money and would try to, like, sell him stocks or get him to invest in his “totally legit” pyramid scheme selling knives as pillow talk — but this man seems…different. Softer. Alex doesn’t respond. Instead, he claims, “I’m gonna go over there.”

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

Not to vagueblog but some of you are definitely the sweetest souls and I think of you fondly
Reading things like this always takes me back to when Ludwig said, "I think it's a constant war when someone dies, to keep them as much as you can in your life, and you can't because you lose to time, every time." (timestamp is 23:49 onwards)
The way it hits every time will always be that strong, I think.
“I miss you more than I remember you” is always the core of grieving a parent who died when you were a kid
Six Sentences Sunday!
Tagged by @kiwiana-writes, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, and everyone else with the tag-back from my tag-then. (LOL.)
Here are six sentences (lines?) from my ongoing Exes to What? fic that I have already shared in the server, but wanted to put it here as well anyway.
henryfox: I’m sorry, I can't tell whether I've made you up or if this is actually real. Letting out a snort, Alex sits up against the headboard and briefly ruffles his hair before he opens his phone to the camera. Giving it a grin and sending it over to Henry before he can stare at it long enough and decide to start a whole photoshoot. theagcd: [photo] theagcd: ill let u be the judge of that henryfox: Real, then.
Tagging back MJ and Rhys above, but also @read-and-write-, @littlemisskittentoes, @14carrotghoul, @44whispers, @blairwaldcrf, @clottedcreamfudge, @inexplicablymine, @affectionatelyrs, @rockyroadkylers, @later-2-dae, @matherines, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf! (open tag to everyone too!) Because this is where I'm reading my share of fanfic for now, while I haven't gotten the time to go binge read again.
Today I am using Six Sentence Sunday to unveil my new banner and Official Title™ of the RWRB dads' storyline swap fic — though the working title of Daddy Issues has been fun, it really doesn't fit the ~vibes~ so without further ado, it's now named... Honey, you're familiar (like my mirror years ago).
This fic is lowkey an accidental song fic for "From Eden" and I'm kinda obsessed. Without further ado, enjoy this excerpt (warning for reference to loss of parent):
If Oscar DĂaz were here, maybe he’d ask, “Isn’t that the boy you had that crush on, mijo?” Maybe he’d make an observation, something like “He’s a looker.” Maybe he’d urge Alex on, whispering, “Trust the DĂaz charm. Shoot your shot, chamaco.” But he’s not here, and the truth is Alex doesn’t know what his father would say. So instead, he just has to trust his gut — which is telling him to turn away from the hot almost-naked boys and approach the hot English-prince-son-of-James-Bond boy. He may be fully clothed — in a button down and blazer in Rio in August — but he’s featured in way too many of Alex’s dreams for him to miss this opportunity.
Shout out to @littlemisskittentoes for the titling help! And thank you to @kiwiana-writes and @zwiazdziarka for the tags!

Thanks @anincompletelist for the tag! <3
You guessed it, Figure Skating AU, waiting for the poll to finish so it gets an official name and having a posting schedule that I won't share publicly because I don't want to jinx it for now
He breathes in and looks at the stars, only a few of them can be seen and not one of them belongs to Orion, Henry knows this, and still he convinces himself he can see it, that Orion stares directly back at him, holding him like an anchor that keeps him from drifting away.
No pressure tagging! @inexplicablymine @ssmtskw @affectionatelyrs @everwitch-magiks @14carrotghoul @heybuddy-drabbles @rockyroadkylers and everyone who sees this and thinks "oh my last line was a banger, i want people to see." this is for you
