What He Doesn't Know Won't Hurt Him

Maverick

Recently released biography, On the Road with Her Majesty, details the lives of the band Queen and their families. With an introduction by Dan Sinclair, please enjoy an excerpt of the book. 

I had been hired by Freddie to write about the group. My editor had laid down the job description in front of me, with a grin wide on his face. Dan, this will be perfect for you, he’d said.

Wanted:

A writer, a good writer, to document the lives of Queen as honestly and as glamorous as possible.

Hours are brutal. Travel required. Rockstar tempers expected.

Pay is enough.

Two weeks later, I was on a flight to Vienna.

I traveled with the band across Europe for a few weeks. There was a gap in the tour before they headed to the United States and Freddie was insistent that I spent time with each band member during the off time. We have just as much story to tell off the stage, darling.

He was right of course. The quiet of Freddie at home was different than at any other point I’d seen on tour. John was at ease and talkative among his wife and children. Brian was the most unchanged of the band members, smiling and soft.

Then there was Roger and his wife, Maverick.

One of the most interesting stories of all.

Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love)

Masterlist

Pairing: Roger Taylor x OC 

Theme: Fluff 

Word Count: 3100+

Written for the @bowieandqueen11 fluff writing challenge! This was such a great idea and I had so much fun writing this. I’ve got a LOT of ideas so if people enjoy this I might actually make it a multipart fic. 

My prompt was: “It’s you. You’re the one I love.” Enjoy! 

Brian had been the one to introduce them. He and Genevieve had met during their first year at University, and although Roger had heard her name several times, it took over a year to meet the illusive redhead. That changed late one night in November, when Brian had finally decided to bring her to the flat while Roger was home. She’d been a little shy, returning his wide welcoming grin with one a little more muted and uncertain, but after the first bottle of wine had been finished she’d loosened up a little. They’d ended up sharing the cramped loveseat together while Brian had curled up in the armchair opposite, and as their shoulders bumped and he heard her laughter, Roger swore he felt giddy, but he blamed it on the alcohol.

They drank late into the night, until she started to slump back against the couch cushions, looking between him and Brian through heavy lidded eyes, and they decided it was time to sort out sleeping arrangements. The three had drunkenly argued over who would be sleeping where - Brian obviously couldn’t sleep on the loveseat, and even she would have been uncomfortable in it. Finally, after realising none of them would be able to get a half decent night’s sleep in the living room, she’d proposed sharing a bed with one of them. Brian had locked eyes with Roger over her head - he knew what his flatmate was like - and had suggested Genevieve take his room before stumbling off down towards his room ahead of her, bouncing off the walls of the corridor like a ping pong ball. She and Roger had watched him go with matched looks of bemusement, before she bid him goodnight and followed the lanky guitarist. Roger had paused in his doorway as she approached Brian’s room, stopping just shy of the threshold. He’d seen her nose wrinkle in distaste.

“What is it?” He asked, keeping his voice soft. There was a pause, and then a giggle as she turned to face him.

“Brian snores.” She whispered, and sure enough, as Roger got closer he realised he could hear the telltale snores of a very drunk Brian, who’d apparently passed out as soon as he’d stumbled into his room.

Inviting her to sleep in his room had just been the gentlemanly thing to do, at the time. When he jerked his thumb in the direction of his silent bedroom it had been completely innocuous, but when he woke up just before six, his arms wrapped around her and her back pressed up against his chest, it felt a whole lot less innocent. During the night they’d ended up spooning, so when he woke his nose was pressed into soft auburn curls, arms wrapped loosely around her waist as he anchored her to him. As she shifted in her sleep, burying her face into the pillow, Roger felt her hips swivel a little, her ass grinding back into him, and somewhere in his still-drunk mind the thought emerged to ask if she fancied a quick shag.

Bad idea, Taylor. He scolded himself. Friends don’t fuck their roommate’s friends.

Instead, he closed his eyes and settled back into the mattress, her hair tickling his nose as he pulled her a little closer, more out of habit than anything. Not that he would have told anyone, but waking up with someone curled up in his arms was one of his favourite things in the world.

They didn’t speak about that night for a long time. Brian had no idea Genevieve had spent the night in Roger’s room instead of his - he was the last to wake up and stumble into the kitchen, where she had already prepared a pot of coffee, which she and Roger were sharing as they nursed their hangovers. When he asked her if she slept well, his back to them as he rooted around in the fridge, he missed the sly smile she and Roger shared over their coffee cups.

tequila [billy head canon]

I’ve never written a headcanon before. My beautiful and loving wife @stevesharrlngtons encouraged me to try it and, like the good spouse I am, I take her advice.

Billy was an experienced drinker.

He couldn’t even remember the first time he had a sip of alcohol.

It was just always around from the time he was small.

Strangely enough, even with his Dad being the strict asshole he was, Billy always got away with drinking underage.

So when you two would party together, he crushed three beers for every one cooler you sipped on.

You breathed deep, the sounds in the gym becoming a dull hum in your consternated state. Your hands were placed firmly on your knees, the end of your ponytail ghosted across your back as you moved side to side.

This was it. This was the biggest game of the season, and you weren’t going to be the one who fucked it up.

“Do you think he’ll ever get it down again?”

Your eyes are glued to the figure of James Potter, who is now desperately trying to get hold of his broom. Remus Lupin stands a few metres away, interjecting James’ monologue every now and again to issue words of advice. You can tell by his stance that part of him really wants to just sit back and watch James try to figure it out himself, but that he feels a tiny obligation to at least try to help.

Upon the lack of response to your question, you glance up at the man beside you. His eyes are trained on James as well, his brows gently furrowed in thought. You look back at James.

“I’m sure Evans will give it back to him in the end.”

“You think?” you ask, glancing back at him. He tilts his head a bit to the side as he ponders the question, before glancing over at you. Upon eye contact, he looks back at James.

“Yeah. Don’t you?”

“I’m not sure,” you muse. “Potter’s been getting on her nerves lately. You never know what she’s capable of, that one.”

“What’s Potter done?”

You give him an incredulous look.

“As if you don’t know.”

“Other than his usual dipshittery,” Sirius says, rolling his eyes. He turns to look at you, and you hold his gaze.

“I…”

Then you let out a mix between laughter and a sigh.

“I don’t think I’m at liberty to say.”

“Oh, come on,” he says playfully, tilting his head a bit. “Tell me.”

You try to suppress the smile that threatens to emerge on your lips. He’s smirking at you, and it’s making it difficult.
