summary:

Henry peers at Alex’s clothes laid out on a boulder. He dunked them and scrubbed them a little bit before abandoning them for his midnight swim while Henry resolutely turned around and willed himself to calm down.  There is not a better solution, not at this time of night.  “Come in with your clothes on, I don’t care,” Alex says, tone more annoyed than before. “Keep your modesty for the future Lady Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.” The thought makes Henry’s molars grind together. With an indignant huff, he kicks off his boots and hastily starts unbuttoning his shirt and his trousers. When he glances back up at Alex, he has this mischievous glint in his eyes and that goddamn smirk on his lips. He knew exactly what saying that would do to Henry.

or: after agreeing to a night outside of the ton with his stablehand, henry finds himself having to bathe in a lake with the man he is absolutely gone for.

They Take Their Shots, We’re Bulletproof

Updating Mondays and Thursdays

Alex is desperate for a new job. When he sees an opening with the Crown, he applies, hoping for the best.

Henry is in need of a new bodyguard. His equerry presents him with an unconventional option: an American.

Henry has never felt so safe with a bodyguard. Alex has never felt so comfortable with a charge. But what happens when their chemistry is undeniable? Are they in more danger if their professional and personal lines are blurred?

“Oh, you've made a mess already, baby,” Alex cooed, pushing down the waistband as he grasped Henry's cock. “You're not even halfway to where I want you tonight, sweetheart,” Alex kissed Henry's navel and watched his stomach clinch.

“And where is that then?”

“I want you riding that sybian until you're crying and begging me to cum,” Alex trailed his index around the head of Henry's cock. “And after I let you cum, I'll do it again and again until you beg me to stop.”

And if you're after MORE recs: here are my favourite reads from 2022 and 2023; I reblog fics I love on this blog with the tag rwrb fic rec; and my ao3 bookmarks are public. Or you can always hit me up. I'm happy to share my enthusiasm for RWRB fics

1) college au, Henry & Alex befriend each other (I think at the library) and it becomes a thing where Henry keeps sitting in his lap. Alex tries to ask Henry out, unknowingly to Henry who declines because he’s busy; cue Alex angst.

2) (I remember nothing so sorry I’m advance) Alex and Hen are roommates. Something leads to a conversation where Henry tells Alex that he’s in love with him and Alex replies with ‘that’s not my problem’. They’re relationship gets really strained, Henry almost moves out which makes Alex really sad and realises that he has to fix their relationship before he loses Henry.

Chapter 14 of my WIP AU, please enjoy the snippet below!

“There’s another image.” 

His blood goes cold and still in his veins. The image comes through. Alex is helpless to stop himself opening it. Anyone in the world would recognise them in this picture. At the back of his head, part of Alex is thinking what a beautiful picture it is. They’re not kissing, but it’s the instant before the kiss, with Henry’s fingers brushing against his jaw as Alex tilts his chin up to meet Henry’s slightly open mouth. Alex’s eyelashes are lowered, mouth already smiling. He can practically hear himself sighing in the moment. 

Beside him, it’s clear that Henry isn’t thinking about the beauty of the image. He’s already shaking. 

“Alex?” Ellen prompts.

“How—how long do we—do we have?” 

“It isn’t in the public domain. From what I’ve been told it was taken at Queen Mary’s request.” 

Henry chokes on air. 

“Apparently she doesn’t think you’re being careful enough and set out to prove it—I don’t honestly know what’s going on in that crow’s head, sugar,” Ellen sighs. “I just know she’s decided to share what she sees as a problem, and I know that I don’t appreciate being blindsided like this.” 

From inside the house comes the tinny noise of Henry’s cell phone. He left it on the coffee table in the living room earlier. He’s practically running to it now, whether to answer or throw it in the lake Alex isn’t sure. He’s bone white, up to the ears.

“Mom, I gotta call you back.”

“Are you shitting me? Alex—”

Rule: share a fic you wrote that you're proud of! (art/moodboard are options, but I'm including one here because I like this visual additions to my writing. i.e. I'm a slut for a good moodboard.)

Omakase

Omakase (phrase, Japanese): lit. "I leave it up to you"; method of ordering where the diner requests the "chef's choice." Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor has been laboring under the thumb of legacy and tradition for years, as sous-chef to his brother at Maison Windsor, the restaurant his grandmother made world famous. When a less-than-perfect review of the establishment leaves his creativity not just stymied but totally cut off, he finds fresh inspiration (and something more) in the London's newest and most passionate chef-restaurateur, Alex Claremont-Diaz. After a rough start, their relationship deepens and their reputations intertwine, Henry's confidence in his own abilities renews along with it. When asked to choose between family and creative realization, he finds himself caught.

(I know I reblogged the post for this earlier today, but this is my all time favorite fic to this day. It makes me so happy when new people discover it and enjoy it. It makes me hungry every time I re-read it, and it's one of the few fics of mine that I actually read and love. It was my first fic in the Red, White, & Royal Blue fandom. I couldn't believe the support and interest in the story then, and I still can't believe it now. So, thank you all for reading ♥️)
