Prince Jack Larkin-Kelly isn't fit to be a prince. He often skirts his royal duties and prefers being friends with village-folk than his fellow royals. But when he's betrothed to Princess Katherine Pulitzer, he realizes he'll have to face the future sooner than he expected.
Except—neither of them want to marry each other. Jack prefers to flirt with his personal Valet, and Katherine sets her eyes on the Queen's Lady-In-Waiting.
With an unwanted wedding fast approaching and suspected foul play afoot, both Jack and Katherine will discover the lengths they're willing to go to for true love.

Summary
"Do you think it's someone messing with me? I mean, I don't know what anyone would see in me, so it's definitely a possibility."
"It doesn't look like it's just someone messing with you. I mean, it looks like whoever wrote this poured their heart out." he paused. "And, there's a lot of reasons why someone'd like you, Davey." he said, setting the letter down on the bed beside him as he began to run his hands through his hair. "I mean, you're funny and you're sweet. You're awkward, but in a cute way, you know? You're always organized and reliable, at least you are for me. Whenever I ask you for help with homework, you're there for me."
Jack wasn't afraid to say stuff like that because he knew how oblivious Davey was. He'd been flirting with him for years now, but Davey never seemed to realize it. It started out subtle, like little compliments or buying his food, but nowadays it'd become clearly obvious to seemingly everyone besides Davey. He's always just assumed this was how friends were with each other. He's had friends before, and he's never done any of this before with them, but I dunno. Davey's an idiot, I guess.
or; Davey can't figure out who his secret admirer is.

Summary
The thought slapped him across the face, totally out of nowhere. Jack wasn’t really doing anything special— he was just reclined in David’s bed with his dinner on his lap, and he had a few chip crumbs on his thighs. He didn’t look any prettier than usual. He was just being Jack, staring off at the posters on the adjacent wall, probably thinking about the color composition or some artsy thing like that.
And David was in love with him.
With Jack. David was in love with Jack Kelly, and maybe he’d been in love with Jack Kelly for years and was just now realizing it, because of a stupid plate of quesadillas and the stupid way Jack said ‘made sure it was kosher, too’ because Jack cared about him and remembered the little things and holy shit, David was so fucking in love.

Summary
The folks said to be careful. Mama thought it was dangerous, having their names tied to political commentary like that. Pop said so long as Davey’s schoolwork didn’t suffer, he was allowed to pick up extra work however he liked.
Sarah said it wasn’t exactly like Davey had been forced into it, and of course he could bow out if he wanted, but since when did he back down from following Jack Kelly anywhere?
Les said it made sense—they’d made good partners leading the strike and selling papes, of course they’d partner up in this “political cartoon” thing, too.
Katherine said it was only a matter of time, that Jack had always been better with pictures than words; that he may have been the face of the strike, but David Jacobs was the Mouth.

Summary
“Hey look there's Denton!” Specs exclaimed, pointing down the sidewalk where Denton was rushing to meet them. Jack turned quickly but he was soon disappointed when he realized the man was walking alone.
“Where is everyone?” David asked as soon as Denton was in earshot, the urgency clear in his voice.
“The judge said they’d already been bailed out, they didn’t even make it to court,” Denton explained.
The strike takes an unexpected turn for the worse after a particularly bloody protest and Jack has to grapple with his guilt and an unwarranted betrayal.

Summary
David thought Jack was walking out of his life. Riding away on a carriage to the train yards, leaving everyone that loved him behind? How was that fair?
Or: a little introspective on David's part on the final scene of the film, and how it should've gone (in my opinion)

Summary
(DISCONTINUED- I WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATING THIS FIC)

Jack has always been quieter, perfectly content to stay safely tucked into the background where he can’t get hurt.
For forever, Jack’s been content with simply watching Davey from afar, admiring him like everyone else and remaining invisible- until a series of events that change everything, revealing secrets and bringing the two boys together.

Summary
|| title from Brainstorm by Arctic Monkeys ||
Racetrack and Jack agree to get a cat after months of Race begging. Jack meets someone at the rescue center and decides to keep going back. Not because he thinks the guy running the place is cute, but because his roomate is crushing on the hot-tempered short stack who works there. Right?
|| rated mature for future probably violent themes :) big things have been planned for this ||
