OH AND 75 FOR ALGERNON
I love writing these two so fucking much my dude akjfdsakfj
It's not exactly to the prompt, but I tried my best.
[Again, added read more for length]
75. Kisses meant to distract the other person from whatever they were intently doing
It had already been a long day at the bookshop in Dark Water. Between frequent shoppers buying books for study, children looking to purchase a new story for bedtime, and helping out Sarah with her nefarious projects; Algernon barely had time to do daily tasks. Thankfully, it was close to closing, and all that was left was inventory and cataloging, which the bookkeep was frivolously taking on.
As he was counting inventory and bringing boxes in from the backroom, Newton popped in from their own tasks to check on him. They walked over to the wooden front desk, smiling as he rounded the corner. “Busy day, huh?”
Algernon glanced up at his partner, a soft smile gracing his features, “A very long day dear. Still have a few more things to catch up on though.”
Newton rolled their eyes, and took the box from his hands and set it down on the desk. “It’s past closing time, Al. We can finish this all up tomorrow morning since it’ll be Sunday and we rarely get customers.”
Algernon huffed in feign annoyance, wanting to simply finish now so he didn’t have to worry about it later. He was stubborn in that way where he didn’t like to put off anything and Newton definitely knew this. They were just tired of seeing him overwork himself.
They moved to wrap their arms around his waist, leaning up and kissing him deeply, effectively grabbing his attention. As they parted, Newt gave him a cheeky little grin, “Now, we are going to close up shop and go home to have supper at a reasonable hour Algernon.”
“But--” A kiss.
“The shop--” Another kiss.
“There’s still things left undone--” A longer, deeper kiss.
“Fine, fine… We’ll finish everything up tomorrow. But don’t expect to not get the majority of the workload, Newt.”
Another peck, this time on his cheek, “Good, wouldn’t expect anything less.”

My favourite quotes from the Ghost of Oscar Wilde, as ostensibly relayed to Irish medium Hester Dowden in the 1920s:
Being dead is the most boring experience in life. That is, if one excepts being married or dining with a schoolmaster.
***
I think you may reasonably believe you are a living being and I a chimera of your mind. But let me explain that to me you are a mere chimera, and, in reality, you are less alive than I am. For I am still a living soul and mind, and I have as great a feeling for beauty as I had when I wore a top hat and let my hair stream from beneath it.
***
Q. (Have you seen your mother?)
A. Yes, I have seen her. She has not really improved in the process of dying.
***
I can forgive even that last insult of posthumous popularity that has been offered me, I find it hard to forgive them for translating my beautiful prose into German. You may smile, but that to the artist was a very real form of murder.
***
At the coming of Copernicus the heavens of Ptolemy ceased to revolve, and after Copernicus came Galileo and Tycho Brahe, and Kepler followed the Dane, and the fair guiding angel of Kepler’s planets faded into the cold dawn of Newton’s great formula, and last, like a monstrous fish, Newton himself lies snared in the strange nets of space and time that Einstein has set about him.
***
(There's also a whole section where he roasts a particular production of An Importance of Being Earnest, including this statement about the actor playing Algernon):
He utters his words as if he were the doll used by a ventriloquist. Ask him, please, to modify his voice a little, and also to modify his general behaviour. He seems to me to move on hinges.

now i need hcs about royal cats ( there is 6 of them ??? 😭😭) who loves who most etc.
I’d love to give you some royal kitty HC’s :)
They have four cats and they have the same personalities as the cats in the vet au (and firefighter au)—because they’re the same cats, haha! A cat from each friend; Milktoes from Nel, Nectar from Amanda, Robot from Anna, and Algernon from me :)
And now for royals au specific HC’s:
- the cats love spending the night in Anthony’s bed, and he regularly wakes up with a cat on his chest (Milktoes), his feet (Nectar), cuddled next to him (Robot), or on his face trying to suffocate him (Algernon). The only other place they like sleeping is with Roger, the old basset hound Anthony adopts. After he gets Roger, Algernon prefers to snuggle up with him most nights
- after they get Albert (the puppy BenHen give Anthony), the cats are become obsessed and do anything they can to get his attention. Albert entertains them as a puppy but grows up thinking he’s human (and Anthony’s trusted advisor on foreign policy), and does not interact with the cats. He does, however, let them nap with him lol
- Algernon rips up a very expensive very old pair of curtains in Buckingham Palace one day, which is how the palace staff come to unequivocally decide he is not allowed back. His main home is Clarence House lol
- Milktoes will knock things off of shelves in order to be able to nap
- Robot is the only one of the cats who loves Newton and the two can occasionally be found chasing each other
- the kitties 100000000% think they run the place and that Clarence House is their playground. They’ve been known to sit on people’s laptops, meow loudly to get treats/pets/attention, and Algernon once hissed at a new staffer until she began giving him chicken bits everyday
- Fran loves Anthony’s cats :)
- Greg does not care of them at all; he much prefers Newton, and, later, Fig
- the first time Kate meets Algernon, he snuggled up to her right away and purrs so very loudly and Anthony feels immensely betrayed
- Nectar is Danby’s favorite cat, and will often come and sit in her office and nap on a spot of sunlight on her desk
- The staff consensus is that Milktoes is picky but cuddly when she decides she loves you, Robot is the easiest to get along with, Nectar is sweet but skittish and runs at loud noises (loud noises being normal speaking tone) so they don’t often see him, and that getting on Algernon’s good side takes a miracle
- Anthony refuses to ever get rid of the cats so anytime a new job opens up, they have to add that whoever comes to work must like cats and not be allergic 😭
- Charlotte LOVES the kitties! She gets her own kitten when she’s five and tags along for a visit to Mayhew with Anthony and nearly cries when she can’t get the fluffy white kitten, and Anthony has a long history of never being able to say no to cats and Charlotte, so they get a fifth cat that day
- Edmund is wayyyy more into the dogs, as is Miles, however, every so often, you can find Miles sitting peacefully in the library, reading, and with literally all the pets settled around him; cats in his lap, dogs at his feet, or settled next to him
- Mary prefers the company of horses (she even goes to the Olympics!!) and birds :) the cats are quite old once she’s born, but she does still love them
Thanks for asking :)
