SUMMARY: Cardverse AU. Queen Arthur intends to teach his young, unrefined King some manners, starting with the greatest form of royal expression: dance.

[secret santa] Come and Open Up Your Folding Chair Next To Me

[midori-lover.livejournal.com]

TITLE: Come and Open Up Your Folding Chair Next To Me
AUTHOR: midori_lover
RECIPIENT: santeelegs
GENRE: Romance and mindless fluff :3
PAIRING(S): America/England
RATINGS/WARNINGS: PG
SUMMARY: sort-of-Gakuen!AU (human names used); On the day of their senior graduation, Alfred Jones asks Arthur Kirkland out on a date. Arthur wonders what Alfred could have possibly seen in him, but sure why not? (It wasn't like he had been waiting for this all along, mind you.)
NOTES: Written for the prompt Their first date. Any time period. Except this became alternate universe whoops. I hope any time period also means any universe ahhhh. (If AUs aren't your thing, SS baby, just tell me and I'll make up for it :3). Title comes from Regina Spektor's song Folding Chair and has no connection to the plot. I just happened to listen to it on repeat while writing this. |D

(It doesn’t have to be tonight! We can go out tomorrow, or next week or next month. I’ve waited all these years, Arthur, since freshman year, to ask you out on a date. What’s another day?)

[Secret Santa 2011; fic] To My Dearest

AUTHOR: binnin
RECIPIENT: chiisana00
GENRE: Romance
RATINGS/WARNINGS: G; no warning
SUMMARY: As they go through their lives, Alfred and Arthur sometimes exchange letters to keep in touch, explain situations, or just to remind the other of some important things.
NOTES: Of chiisana00's prompts, I chose 'Love letters/notes, Alfred being adorkable.' I hope it's all right, and that Alfred is adorkable enough in his letters! Beta'd and read over by Gabbi, Luna, and Pie!

LINK: So his fingers set to work on opening it, and two paper-cuts later, Alfred unfolds the … parchment.
