Royalty au Alex/Lucy

Heavy on the angst. Follow the link above for the first piece in this au

AO3 Pride Month Prompts

Alex stalked back and forth across her room. Everything in her sight just fed her anger.

The dark curtains blocking her from the outside world, so different from her old silk ones made to let in the light.

The broken TV, remote control still in the wreckage from when she had thrown it.

The bed she had spent countless nights with Lucy in.

Alex stopped, fury burning through her veins as it searched for an outlet.

Two knocks sounded at her door before it slowly pushed open.

Sam.

Her beloved sister.

Samantha.

Her beloved queen.

A perfect outlet.

"How could you?" Alex growled as soon as the door was closed.

"Alex."

"Convicted of treason and exiled! And you let it happen!"

"What could I do?" Sam asked, her calm tone doing nothing to calm Alex.

"You're the queen! What couldn't you do?"

"Mother is still regent. Her word is law until I take over officially."

Alex scoffed but the logic pierced through her rage enough to deflate it. She turned away from Sam and walked to the window. She parted the curtains just enough to peer through. Cars were moving on the streets again now that the trial of the princesses lesbian lover was over.

“Do you love her?”

Alex tensed. “What?”

“Do you love her?”

Nobody had asked her that. In the weeks since the pictures had been released, body had asked her if she loved Lucy.

“Yes.” She blinked back tears. “I love her so much.”

A hand slipped into hers then, when she didn’t pull away, she was pulled into a hug.

And in the warmth of her sister’s arms, she cried, cried for the first time since the first night without Lucy.

Sam waited until Alex’s sobs had stopped to pull apart.

“I,” Sam started, gently brushing away the last of the tears, “will bring her back.”

Alex blinked. “What?”

Sam sucked in a deep breath. “I already had plans to change some of the laws. Slowly, to not give away my intentions, but surely. Once I fully have the throne, once Mother is no longer my regent, I can pardon Lucy, bring her back.”

“You’re planning…Why?”

Sam shuffled, looked away from Alex. She spoke softly. “I wish we had had the freedom to speak of these things as we discovered them about ourselves. Better late than never, though, yes?” Sam stepped back, stared down at her fidgeting hands. “I am, perhaps, not as certain as you when it comes to where my attractions lie, but I do know it’s not necessarily where it should be.”

Alex stared at Sam for a few moments before letting out a soft laugh.

“You too?”

AO3

A royalty au I’ve been throwing around with @majordetectiveagent that involves Sam Danvers, Alex’s twin. There is much more involved that may come up later.

Alex leaned heavily against the wall with one shoulder, looking out the balcony doors.

Orange.

The entire island was orange.

The streets beneath the castle were almost completely empty, with most citizens listening to the warning to stay indoors through the dust storm.

“I thought you wanted to be the one to do the packing?”

The corner of Alex’s mouth tugged up. She turned so the back of both shoulders were against the wall, turned her head to look at Lucy, sprawled across Alex’s bed and decidedly not packing.

“I will,” Alex said. “I’m just taking a break.”

Lucy laughed, pushed herself up she she was sitting on the edge of the bed. “It’s been quite a long break, tk.”

“It’s not like I’m taking all of my belongings. Just essentials.”

“Yes, but you have a slightly warped sense of what is essential.”

Alex shrugged. She pushed off the wall, stepped towards Lucy. “I’ll have you, what could be more essential than that?”

Lucy scoffed, but Alex knew the compliment hit true by the way she looked away, by the small smile she couldn’t quite hide.

Two sharp knocks at the door pulled the smile away, pulled Lucy out of the bed. The door opened and she dropped into a deep bow.

Alex grinned at her sister, gave a smaller bow, rising right away.

“You can stand, Lucy,” Sam said.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Lucy said, rising.

“How is the packing going?” Sam asked, glancing around the room

“There has been...progress,” Alex said.

Sam laughed. “You leave in a week.”

“And I will be ready in a week.”

“I’m sure Lucy will make sure you are.”

Alex rolled her eyes. “What about you? Are you ready for your naval training to start next month?”

“More than,” Sam said. “Not having you there will be the hardest part.”

Alex nodded. The next four years were going to be rough without Sam right there, but at least she was going to have Lucy. While Sam was going to have Arias with her, Arias had already gone through training, so would be more peripheral.

“I’ll miss you,” Sam said, the softest Alex had heard her in years.

Alex is totally the mom who helps with all science HW
