Damn characters!
Jan. 11th, 2013 09:17 pmProject: The royalty novel
Market: Not sure exactly.
Deadline: None. I'm not even supposed to be working on this!
Previous wordcount: 40,984
New words written today: 2341 (plus ~600 for the anthology story before Jack ATE MY BRAIN)
Present total wordcount: 43,325
Mean things: Bertie refuses to let Jack defile any of the Crown Jewels. Rightly, I think.
Fun things: Amazing, comfortable, open sex. With lots of discussion and playfulness and hotness. And SO MUCH LOVE.
Stimulants: Coffee, chocolate digestive biscuits. (I'm predictable like that).
So I had started working on the More the Merrier submission, I swear. And it was going so well. But then Jack started whining because I was writing Freddie and Cornelius being all safe and cosy and enjoying the rare luxury of having a long stretch of time together for cuddles and so on. Because Bertie and Jack get none of that early on, especially not when they're sneaking around.
And he wanted to write the first time they get that - when he's staying at his brother's and Bertie comes to visit him for an entire day. With no one else in the house but Bertie's security team, who know by now but won't tell anyone. And he was telling me all the things they could do if they had all that free time, the experimenting they could do, going further than they'd gone before. (It's not like either of them could have popped into Boots for lube while Jack was staying at Sandringham, it would be noticed.)
So yeah, I had to write it, because they were being playful and sweet and Bertie was calling Jack on something that's in the very back of his mind that makes this all the hotter for him. And the fact that he accepted that so easily shows how comfortable he is with Jack and how much Jack cares for him. And it shows how Jack's embraced all of Bertie's identity - even if in an irreverent, carefree sort of way. He's actually more comfortable with everything Bertie is than Bertie himself, in some ways.
But Bertie's still not wearing EITHER of the crowns during sex. For one thing, they're heavy (even the 'light' one weighs almost a kilo) and he's barely able to walk with them on, let alone do anything else. And for another, just NO.
But yeah, Jack's mostly teasing about that part.
Speaking of crowns, I posted about them on tumblr about the Imperial State Crown, and how Bertie's will look different. It also segues into Coronation clothes and I learn something new, including that I get to dress Bertie in breeches, which makes me ridiculously happy. Now, who could work in a joke about padding calves? *ponders*
Also on my tumblr is a fun tag: places Jack wants to have sex. That, he may be more successful with than the crown thing. Because when they don't have to hide anymore Jack will want to make the absolute most of it. IMPOSSIBLE I TELL YOU.
