You know when you watch a movie once, and then twice, and then 57 times and you just can’t get enough? We’ve been there, you’ve been there. It’s a great feeling to feel like you can’t get enough of something, but it’s also …not so great, because if you’ve already consumed all there is, what do you do next?
Well, the answer, for anyone who has been around fandom, is obvious. You read fanfic!
If the thing you’ve been obsessing is Red, White & Royal Blue, we’ve got a few things to tell you. First, SAME! Second, there is a lot of fic for you to read. And today we’re bringing you some of the best short ones if you need a quick FirstPrince fix.
five times henry’s competency turned alex on and the one time it turned him into a pile of romantic goo by helenblqckthorn
This one’s title kind of says it all, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it. No, in fact, you should go read it right now for perfect characterization and a few moments that will make you stop and just smile.
they’ll talk about us by finalizer
Another fic that just feels like it exists — or should — in the same universe as these characters do, because it just captures them so perfectly. Bonus points for an ending that will make you as stary-eyed as these two always are for each other.
Am I The Asshole? by everwitch
Not as short as the others, but technically only one chapter, so it counts! Plus, this is the perfect combo of hilarious, chaotic and romantic. One to read and bookmark for sure.
Never Truly Leave by clottedcreamfudge
Fair warning, this one’s kinda rude. And it made me tear up. If you’ve lost a parent, you might find yourself shedding a tear or two while reading it. But this one’s also a reminder that love, while not a cure, is quite a balm.
my gift is my song/and this one’s for you by HestiaForever
There’s always something magical about the fics that give you a glimpse at several different timeframes and this one does it with holidays, which works perfectly. Of course, part of it is that it’s so well written and the author understands the characters so well.
