god what an excellent time this was

me, after last chapter: estimated chapter count is holding up! two left! 😃 me, having just finished a draft of the next chapter: somehow, inexplicably, I now have another two left to write 🧐

finally finally tying all of this together 🫡

'they've cast two new actors in major supporting roles. these actors share first names with the main characters of the franchise, which is confusing for all.' if I'd made up this sort of thing for a story, I'd have thought it unrealistic 😂

ANEESH!!!!!!!

the joy of feeling secure ao3 is maintained properly // the absolute agony 'down for maintenance' entails

nearly every section of the next chapter is a major spoiler but here is a single sentence snippet nonetheless #rwrbsky #rwrbwip #firstprince #rwrb

Henry's helping Bea over the holidays, making lattes and cappuccinos in her coffee shop slash 2nd-hand book store. The cute florist from across the street keeps forgetting his scarf. Henry doesn't mind popping over with it - but he's intrigued to hear this never, ever happens when Bea's on shift...

Henry - still a prince - pops into a coffee shop for a cuppa with his PPOs in tow. He's not expecting a brief touch of the hot barista's hand to confirm they're soulmates. Especially not in front of so many gawking strangers. But so long as the barista keeps smiling like that, maybe it'll be okay.
