Heavier Things Ch. 13: Did I Sail Through or Drop My Anchor Down?
Series Premise: What happens when the king can’t take no for an answer on his marriage proposal?
Chapter Premise: Portavira and Castelsarreillan revisited. Some of those secrets everyone’s got are coming out.
Pairing: Drake x MC (Alyssa Devereaux)
A/N: This is my first series, first AU, and IT. IS. DARK. Who knew, when I’m such a fluff-lover? The story begins and diverges from TRR Book 2, Ch. 16. I am afraid it might be the HOT MESS EXPRESS, but I’ll never know unless I try. I will be happy to tag anyone interested! (and I’ll remove you from tags if you hate it!)
This chapter kinda covers Book 3, Ch. 4, 5, 7, and 8, but this is all pretty wavery since we’re in AU land. Do not read anything I write if you’re not at least 18 years old.
Ummmm … so Hana and I both did a lot of research about the comedown effect of molly/ecstasy/MDMA. That’s bad stuff, y’all. Especially, like, if you didn’t know you were taking it. RIP serotonin. The day after is sometimes known as “suicide Tuesday.” soooooo yeah. Do not recommend.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to @dcbbw, @star-spangled-eyes, @emceesynonymroll, and @bbrandy2002, who’ve spent the last week reading and rereading and making suggestions, especially when I needed to fix some character interactions (love you, Enna!) and to Brandy for giving that last line we needed.
Also, when any of you guys like and comment and reblog, I feel like I have wings! Thanks for reading my crap. You’re the BEST. Thank you for waiting a whole week for this. It’s definitely NOT worth the wait. lol xoxo
Some dialogue and all characters belong to Pixelberry except for my best girl Alyssa Devereaux.
Warnings for this series: Smut, mental illness, sexual assault, sexual harassment, murder, violence, gun violence, corrupt medical practice, illegal drug use, dubcon, possible major character deaths … God, I don’t even know what else. Language, always language. Do not read this if you’re under 18. Also, very misguided Liam warning if you are a super Liam stan. I’m trying not to make him Evil Liam, but it’s not going well at all.
Warnings for this chapter: Smut! 🍋🍋, always language, effects of illegal drug use, attempted sexual assault, violence, suicide ideation
Drake pulled Maxwell aside as they boarded the jet for Portavira. “Make sure you don’t say anything in front of Devereaux about hoping the plane crashes.”
“Wasn’t planning on it, since I apparently can’t even be honest about my goddamn sad feelings without everybody jumping down my throat!”
Drake pressed a thumb between his eyes. “You know her parents are dead, right?”
“They died in a small plane crash.”
