Ttte James X Edward - Tumblr Posts
Fellow TTTE author inbound!! This is so stinking cute, I’m gonna go read the whole thing as soon as I’m done with writing because inspiration has struck and I mustn’t be distracted by cute engines being cute!
Hold Me Fast ~ A 2 x 5 fic
There's another titter, and it seems Edward is otherwise amused, his own cheeks darkening as he sends a teasingly quirked brow the mogul’s way, “Does that surprise you, James? Truly?”
“No!” He blurts far too quickly, like he might be able to preserve some dignity, but it comes out louder and more abashed than he’d like. Because he knows deep down that it really doesn’t surprise him at all. And Edward’s laugh is light and sunny, his eyes softening all over again, “No… Because you’re… well you’re kind! And… and good. And I–”
“Mmmhmm,” Edward hums in that knowing way of his, his smile twitching at the corners, and James swallows, feeling smaller than he is. But it’s different. It’s not humiliating, like when he’s having whatever lesson he has to learn rubbed in his face, or when he’s so terribly sorry for the hurt he’s caused. It’s different, like a lot of things are with Edward.
And that’s just it, isn’t it?
-------------------------------------------------------
Wrote this because I couldn't get over how thematically delicious the ropes are in Old Iron, how opposites attract, and how Edward has always been there for James since day one, since he was sick, since he was a runaway, and they've been bound together ever since. With that long, slow-burning kind of love that they don't ever put a name to, but they know it's there, whether they recognize and understand it or not.
Get ready for 34 pages of pure 2 x 5 Jameward bliss!

This could be us but I’m lactose intolerant 😔

Has Henry ever seen Little Shop of Horrors? It feels like something that might have caught his attention at some point. (To be clear I’m talking about either the musical or the 1986 movie adaptation.)
🎁 Gift Anon 🎁
Henry: I don’t usually watch scary movies and that one has the name “Horrors” in it.
James: Seriously?! It’s probably one of the least scary movies out there! A little dark, but for crying out loud Henry it’s got a singing plant!
Henry: Just because I like plants doesn’t mean I would watch a scary movie about them.
James: Camille loves animals and she’s watched Pet Cemetery.
Camille: It was boring, do not recommend. But I also like spooky stuff.
Gordon: Henry’s also afraid of literally just about anything.
Henry: I am NOT!
Gordon: Leaves.
James: Elephants.
Gordon: Chicken Pox.
James: Rain!
Hiro: ENOUGH!!
*silence*
Hiro: Is it so wrong that he has short comings? Should we point out your own? James? How you wouldn’t pull a train for a VIP due to the tiniest scratch that no one would have noticed without a microscope? Or Gordon? The amount of times your pride has had you come back to Sir Topham Hatt groveling for your position while my Henry did a fantastical job?
James: I… er…
Gordon: …. *ahem* I apologize Henry.
*Camille and Edward giving their boyfriend/husband a dirty look*
Henry: I wouldn’t mind watching it with you, Hiro.
Hiro: If that is what you wish, my flower.
*puts hand on James’ shoulder* Hey, you need to calm down. I know your worried about Edward but you need to calm down. Edward wouldn’t want you to panic, would he? I swear we will find who did this and we will get our revenge, but we can’t do that if you keep freaking out here. I promise everything will be ok.
James: *Hyperventilating* I… I know… he’s just everything to me… we just got married… He’s everything to me… my husband… he’s my husband…! *trying to remain calm*
