Reposting the continuation to Josephine Darcy's unfinished masterpiece The Marriage Stone. I posted the first chapter on FFN on July 1, 2011 and continued with the help of my awesome beta and co-writer Vine Verrine. As of now, this is still a WiP, but I will be posting one chapter a week here. Thank you in advance for reading. Any encouragement in the form of kudos and comments would be very much appreciated.

Summary
“I’m just saying, Hen, people struggle to believe things they can’t see,” Pez says gently. “Nobody has ever seen you with this boy and you never post about him.”
“I know, Pez, but I’m really dating him,” Henry frowns. “He’s not out to his whole family yet, I’m the first guy he’s been with. I met him through a friend. He goes to the high school across town.” His voice is monotone, reciting the same list he has a hundred times.
“I’m not saying I don’t believe you, but you do see why others are doubting you, right?” Pez gives Henry a small smile. “I hope you’re happy with him regardless.”Bookmarked by Ladybug75

Summary
I've seen the plot of "Alex was raped and tells Henry he cheated on him in order to protect Henry. They break up until Alex's secrets are revealed" (an old story and the new one -- both brilliant!) and I wanted to add my own take to that plot: What if Henry doesn't believe Alex when he says he cheated?
There will be no explicit discussion of the rape or SANE exam, but both will be mentioned, so be kind to yourself and read with caution.
Established relationship, movie/book canon mushed together as I please, prior to a move to the brownstone.
Please read the Inspired By work -- it's delightful and I'm enjoying the angst so much!Sporadic updates (10/12/24)

Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

Summary
Today, though, he’s watching in delight as a massive bouquet of roses makes its way through the office, the delivery guy carefully weaving between cubicles as he heads for Nora’s desk. Last week, Nora had revealed to the office one of his embarrassing college hook up stories that involved a thong and sitting cold and shivering in a police station while he waited to be picked up. Today—today he’s sicking Nadine and Alberta on Nora as payback.
His gaze flicks over to Nora where she’s sitting at her desk oblivious to her incoming doom, and then back to the delivery guy. Anticipation, hot and excited, bundles up in Alex’s gut as he clears the final turn of cubicles, and just as Alex is about to grin, wicked and delighted at Nora, the delivery guy makes another turns and comes to a stop at the completely wrong desk.
And then he sets the flowers down and leaves.
--
or, an accidental flower delivery.

The Consequences (of our Actions) by AnchoredArchangel
Fandom Red White & Royal Blue (2023), Red White & Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston
07 Dec 2025
Summary
It starts, like so many things in Alex’s life, with a list.
A list, a prince, an NDA, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a night better than any of the fantasies that preceded it. No consequences. That was the whole point.
Except, like so many things in Alex’s life, it isn’t that simple.
Illicit rendezvous, heartfelt phone calls, transatlantic flights, nights that change them… and a morning that changes everything.
And that’s just how it starts.

Summary
“I picture myself in a small house by the sea, overlooking the water. Writing and reading all day and taking David on long walks and swimming every day. Somewhere really quiet, where there’s not a lot of people. And where nobody thinks of me as Henry Mountchristen.”
———
Fed up of working under his grandmother, Henry quits his job in London, dropping everything for a writer’s life by the sea. He’s desperate to focus on his work and produce something worthy, but a mouthy American with a beautiful smile and a chin dimple has other plans.
———
This fic is fully written and clocking in at around 75k. I’m going to try to update on Saturdays and Wednesdays until we’re done, hopefully bringing us to the end of one long, gay summer ✌️
*UPDATE: this is now complete and safe to binge 😊

Summary
It happens on a random morning in May when Alex, age fourteen, pads into the kitchen to greet his mother and steal a waffle from June's plate and sees a man sitting at their breakfast counter, reading a newspaper, a cup of coffee raised to his lips. Like he belongs. Like it's the most natural thing in the world. June doesn't seem to give the man a second thought. She merely flicks Alex on the forehead and takes back the waffle. Ellen isn't worrying, either. In fact, she's talking to him. Asking what his schedule is like. Making plans for dinner.
Alex has never seen this man before in his life.

Summary
For a moment he fears Henry’s been outed against his will somehow, but he scrolls down to find a video clip. Unable to trust himself to watch the video, he scrolls a little further to read the transcript.
He learns that Henry had come out during a ribbon cutting, of all things. He’d stood in front of a crowd of a couple hundred people gathered for the opening of a new youth shelter, and he’d told his truth. Alex is tempted to watch the video, to examine his body language to see if it was planned or not, but he reads further and one sentence stands out to tell him it wasn’t.
There is no comment yet from Buckingham Palace.
--or, six months after Henry rejected Alex at Kensington Palace.
