WIP Wednesday

Thank you so much for the tags @ssmtskw @sherryvalli @cha-melodius and @read-and-write- ❤️❤️ I wasn't gonna post today but I resurrected my Shaan character exploration so here you go!

As he's sprinting to Henry's rooms, he texts Gerri with shaking fingers: Get B to H's room NOW He keys in, grateful that Henry is still sleeping and that he didn't find out alone or from someone far less sympathetic to his circumstances. A flash of an old memory rears its ugly head: his brother and the devastation on his face when their cousin outed him at a family dinner. How he was only a child and didn't even know what being gay meant but understood in an instant that his eldest, most daring brother was afraid, and there was nothing he could do to stop the ugly chaos that followed. Henry wakes with a start, shocked to see him. "Shaan? What's wrong?"

Open tag because I've done a terrible job at keeping up with who has posted!!

WIP Wednesday

Final WIP Wednesday update of Claremont 2008 because I'm going to post the final chapter Saturday :))

So many tags! Drumroll please, thank you to: @read-and-write- @affectionatelyrs @inexplicablymine @anincompletelist @heybuddy-drabbles @ships-to-sail @leaves-of-laurelin @littlemisskittentoes @sherryvalli @ssmtskw and @kiwiana-writes for the tags!!!

David, still in Henry’s arms, wiggles himself free now that they’re no longer hiking up the terrifying stairs that the three-month-old puppy hasn’t quite figured out yet. Alex has his eyes on Henry as he fondly watches over David while he sniffs around the entire living room, before finally settling down into a tight cinnamon roll shape on the dog bed placed in the path of a sunbeam. Alex can see the massive hearts in Henry’s eyes. “We’re not gonna get any schoolwork done this year if all we do is watch him all the time,” Alex jokes. “And you called me distracting.” Henry manages to tear his eyes away from the puppy to make pointed eye contact with Alex, looking him up and down like Alex isn’t dressed in sweatpants and an oversized t-shirt, like Alex isn’t wearing any clothes at all. Given that look, he might as well not be. “That’s because you are distracting,” Henry states, pulling him in for a heated kiss.

Consider this a tag back for Sunday to everyone who tagged me, since so many people tagged me, leaving me without many people to tag who haven't done it/I'm already kinda late to the game, especially for non-North American timezones. Thanks for sharing y'all's wips with me :))

also, something something, ed telling those kids that he and stede aren't pirates but that actually they run an inn together was ed voicing his fantasy aloud bc he could write it off as a joke but when it came down to it he was too afraid of rejection to actually ask stede to run away with him because it went so ass-backwards last time so he just, ON A WHIM, decides to be a fisherman because it hurts less to assume that stede won't want to leave piracy for him than to ask and be rejected again, something about safe spaces and trauma and needing the space to heal and how they're both still acting on whims, something something

Six-plus-some Sentences Sunday!

As always, thank you for the tag my beloveds @kiwiana-writes, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf, @littlemisskittentoes. 🫶

I was able to add words to the eSports AU WIP, so here's a little Alex and Zahra moment for everyone who celebrates.

Alex looks at Zahra expectantly, still waiting for the reprimanding she’ll send his way, but she only sighs; the look on her face shifting into something softer. “We’re all mad at that manbaby from the other team, but dealing with him like this isn’t the best way to go at it. Just play like you always do, you don’t need to be aggressive to prove he’s dogshit.” And, okay. He can’t really go against that, can he? “Sorry, Z.” “Don’t be.” Zahra reaches over to pat the top of his head, ultimately deciding to completely mess with it at the last second and eliciting a laughter out of them both.

Tagging in return because I love when people bombard my feed with words: @read-and-write- @rockyroadkylers @gayrootvegetable @sallysimpsons @msmarvelouswinchester @inexplicablymine @44whispers @14carrotghoul @matherines @later-2-dae @blairwaldcrf @happiness-of-the-pursuit @firenati0n and everyone else who wants to join in!

WIP Wednesday!

Finaaally I get to post for this LMAO. It's Wednesday somewhere but for me today, too. Thanks for the tags @read-and-write-, @littlemisskittentoes, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, and @kiwiana-writes!

Sharing the longer version here because it's the most recent one I've added words onto the doc. An ongoing second part to my fic shameless plug Smoke Slow AKA my Firstprince shotgunning fic (to give everyone an immediate summary).

Alex doesn't start a counter for the days he doesn't see Henry, but he does keep a list of numbers in his mind; things he could remember on the night of Pez's party. You know, for research. The list starts with the resulting count for all the times he's kissed Henry, and had Henry kiss him back, 27. Next, the total number for every pet name that came out of Henry's pretty mouth, his tongue curling around his vowels and voice dropping in the face of pleasure, echoing repeatedly within Alex's ear tunnels, 13. Then, there's the number of times Henry clutched at his skin, held onto him, unknowingly burning Alex with every touch—pressing down the lightest of lights and the heaviest of weights Alex had engraved onto his flesh—that had ??? for it only because Alex lost count when it hit the first 50. Lastly, the accumulated amount for all the ways Henry's usually schooled expression lost its composure; twisting and painting variations of emotions on his face that had nearly caused Alex's pursuit to detach Henry's schoolboy image from the host a success; Alex had tied them into the veins that pop beneath his eyelids when he closed his eyes, a sweet 16. Suffice to say, Alex can't get Henry out of his mind.

Time to see what everyone's WIPs look like since I will always eat everything up. Tagging back everyone who's tagged me already, but also @user-anakin @affectionatelyrs @inexplicablymine @blairwaldcrf @arand0mdutchgirl @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @44whispers @14carrotghoul @rockyroadkylers @movetoheavens @treluna4 @hypnostheory @cricketnationrise. This is an open tag too so feel free to tag me back if you take it hehe.

seven(ish) sentence sunday!

this past week and a half i’ve been in SUCH a weird headspace for writing— falling into imposter syndrome, comparing my work to others, just generally feeling stuck. but last night i was finally able to put pet to paper and be happy with what came out!

thank you SO much for the tags @kiwiana-writes and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf !

have some kensington divergence angst 😌

Loving Henry was like that.

Like he’d suddenly been able to see the world around him in high definition. Like these pieces of himself that had always been muffled and far away were suddenly at his fingertips, accessible and beckoning. Like his body was suddenly mapped entirely anew—nerve endings attuned to the electricity of Henry’s touch, fingers trained to slot perfectly against Henry’s own, or against the dip of his waist.

Alex came alive with it, ready to take the world between his teeth and savor every morsel of it. Smiling brighter, laughing louder, feeling more.

Loving Henry had awoken something in him.

Loving Henry had almost killed him.

no pressure tagging so many lovelies! @affectionatelyrs @inexplicablymine @read-and-write- @happiness-of-the-pursuit @ssmtskw @firenati0n @leaves-of-laurelin @wordsofhoneydew @anincompletelist @rockyroadkylers @mainstreamelectricalparade @gayrootvegetable @piratefalls @princehgejfmw @magicandarchery @leojfitz

I'm not sure if I can tag as many people as the numbers on this list (who haven't done this yet) so feel free to skip this if you already made yours! But also, open tag to everyone who wants to do it too (tag me back, I want to see). @inexplicablymine @ladygoddess87 @later-2-dae @movetoheavens @cricketnationrise @14carrotghoul @44whispers @happiness-of-the-pursuit @starlikesithot @kiwiana-writes @leojfitz @leaves-of-laurelin @littlemisskittentoes @user-anakin

Welcome! Is the mic on? Hello? Jk. I'm Trace, 22, and I never learned how to read use tumblr in a participatory way.

My interests include a bunch of things but I'm currently pouring all my feels towards anything RWRB. Haikyuu and BNHA both stay at the top, though. (main ships include: Matsuhana and Kiribaku) I love them, would die for them, live for them. Normal stuff, you know.

I hope that covers a lot of first small talk things. I'm not sure. (I can be loud, which, I guess this could serve as a disclaimer for that.)

That's all I can think of right now, but hello and hi to whoever. 🫶
