Thank you!
This is still such a small fandom, so I’m glad that this was worthy of your time and your praise.
Onwards and upwards! As I manifest more people finding this show, these characters, and their stories; so that we may get even better works in return.
anyone else fixated on henry wearing Alfred's glasses like a smug cat while they lounge in bed discussing a murder or nah

Your fic!!! 😍 you captured them so perfectly, I love their banter and henry being so playful and sweet! I'm gonna be rereading it so often smh
Tysm 🤧🤧 I’m so glad you liked it!! I was trying really hard to get their voices right (especially because of the language at the time) so I’m happy that it worked out. “I’m gonna be rereading it so often smh” is the BEST compliment ever ♥️
Love how Bodies is this dark time spanning mystery but in the middle of it all they decided to throw in a heartbreaking queer Victorian love story. It’s perfect
FINALLY FINISHED IT! I hope you enjoy it 🫶🏻
Perhaps, after all, that is what love means
”I get the impression that it will be hard for me to deny you anything.”
“How observant, detective. What led you to that conclusion?”
He chuckles, smiling at Henry, who looks at him with a glimmer. Like a kid looking at candy floss.
“A hunch.”
(Or: episode 4 coda; what happens after they find the print)
Not me researching what type of l*ube they used in the 19th century. I’m doing my research for all of you <3
Never really done this but people seem to be excited about my Henry/Alfred fics so umm… here’s a poll for you on what my first fic’s rating should be (quite literally the last thing I have to write for it):
not me thinking about alfred hillinghead telling henry to run and then immediately planting the most desperate kiss on him when Henry hesitates and saying the world needs his light not me thinking about that
I see this fandom is down bad 🤨 good for us honestly, I completely understand and support it.
(This is in regards to my poll, and it being split evenly between three options and two being the more explicit one is so funny to me)
all my mutuals need to watch Bodies on Netflix so I can talk about how my new queer repressed Victorian blorbo needs a fleecy blanket and an introduction to Gay Bookshops with neat little Gay Cafes attached (my newest 21st century sapphic woman blorbo can show him around)

Omg your tags about bodies!!!! 😭😭😭 I am in a heap!!! I cannot cope with Alfred & Henry and im so sad we never saw Henry leave or whether he ever found out about Alfred's sacrifice like I am feral 😢
AHHHHH I **KNOW**. Codas and fix-it fics are being worked on because if I don’t somehow make them happy I will actually cry. The ending giving us a hopeful glimpse of them is enough to get me through this writing process atm. (ALSO, SO GLAD MORE PEOPLE ARE FINDING THE SHOW AND WATCHING IT!!!)
Oh they’re so sweet together.
Now I need a 100k fic full of angst with a happy ending, please and thank you.
not to risk shouting into the void on the lords day of rest but y'all should watch bodies I feel like there's only about 4 people watching and i am withering like a water starved house plant without talking about it

"My love for you and Polly, it's so very real. It's just that...there was always something else, just as real. No matter how much I didn't want it to be."

kyle soller’s storyline in bodies is hella gay and i am HERE for it
they kept looking back at each other 😭😭😭😭😭
nothing beats a meet cute at a crime scene lol
No, pineapple pizza isn’t on here. It gets too much publicity and I’m bored of it. Pick one of the other ones. (If it’s more than one thing or something else feel free to put in tags)
Thanks to the volunteers for their hard work 💔
AO3 IS DOWN AGAIN,,,,,, EVERYBODY PANIC
literally anyone: hey what are you thinking about right now
me, at any given moment: i’m not like you. i can’t afford to be reckless. i wasn’t raised by a loving, supportive family like you were. i have centuries of history bearing down on my shoulders. my life is the crown, and yours is politics, and i will not trade one prison for another. i can love you, and want you, and still not want that life. i’m allowed. alright? and it doesn’t make me a liar, it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, and you don’t get to come in here and call me a coward for it.

“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.
I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.”
Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”
