I love Sharon Carter so much. Like this girl repeatedly broke the rules to help/support Captain America and is an overall badass woman but instead of developing her character they made her a half assed love interest.

Just imagine all the missed possibilities...

Sharon and Nat comparing thigh holsters and the practicality of hand guns vs tasers.

Sharon not being afraid of Wanda and being her friend, staying up all night watching Disney movies and eating popcorn and laughing.

Sharon being a valuable resource and respected and made to be her own, unique person AND NOT A HALF ASSED LOVE INTEREST!

The amount of emotional support I derive from books and fanfiction cannot honestly be safe.

Very different was the reward of the true love of Achilles towards his lover Patroclus.

Ravenclaw!Draco

Everyone loves Slytherin!Harry (which don’t get me wrong, I love too) but has anyone ever considered Ravenclaw!Draco? 

- Draco growing up in a relatively normal family (aka. not elitists) 

- Draco loving to read and learn

- Draco being the only one who can keep up with Hermione in classes

- Ravenclaws are also known to be melodramatic and if there is one thing Draco my-father-will-hear-about-this Malfoy is, it’s melodramatic

And think about all the Drarry Au’s!

- Draco being Harry’s potions tutor

- Draco knowing all kinds of spells and tactics to help get Harry though the Triwizard Tournament

- Draco being a master at combat spells and Harry asking him to help coach the DA

Idk man, just Ravenclaw!Draco

Drawbacks of a Hufflepuff

- Holding in all of your emotions because you don’t want to burden other people with your problems

- Being loyal to a fault, sometimes to the wrong people

- Not saying what you’re truly feeling because you don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings

- Going into “hibernation mode” every once in a while

- GRUDGES

- Not running out of patience often but when you do its bad

- Being the ultimate dichotomy of hard working and lazy

- People thinking that since you’re a Hufflepuff that you’re a doormat but when your morals are challenged you go apeshit crazy

Everybody wants to know what their Patronus is, but what I want to know is which of my memories is strong enough to conjure one. 

[athenaslittlegirltumbler]

Everybody: “Achilles! Stop murdering people!”

Achilles, *throwing spears by the dozen*: “Sorry! Can’t hear you over my broken heart!”

There’s this part in the Iliad when this soldier is begging Achilles for his life and Achilles’ response is just like, “patroclus is dead.” And on the one hand, like Achilles is a selfish asshole, that’s well established, and one shouldn’t murder in defiance of the gods just bc one’s friend/lover is killed. But on the other hand it’s just so honest and epically romantic. Like, yeah dude. Patroclus IS dead. Time for some Trojans to fucking die. The person who he loved above all others is dead. Nothing matters anymore.

I was watching HP & the Sorcerer's Stone today with my mother and the scene where Harry gets the Nimbus 2000 was playing and my mom turned to me and asked “What did he get?” and I just

an incomplete list of why harry is not a ravenclaw

— he thought the WIND blew him onto a roof

— he tried to pick letters falling from the ceiling instead of ones ALREADY ON THE GROUND

— he didn’t recognize the half-blood prince’s handwriting after literally seeing it on the board for five whole years

— receives a BROOM SHAPED PACKAGE and asks what it is

— asks seamus wtf he’s trying to do when seamus is literally saying the words to WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO OUT LOUD

— literally holds his hands out in chamber of secrets making it look like he’s the one levitating the cake

— diagonalfjjfjfjgkh

— decides to open a letter addressed to him in front of the durselys when they smart thing to do would have just been to ?? hide it ???

— went into the chamber of secrets with an clearly useless teacher and a broken wand when he KNEW that that roosters were fatal to the basilisk

— it never once occurred to him that, salazar slytherin, a parselmouth, founder of slytherin house, house with a snake for a mascot, would leave a snake in the chamber of secrets

— roonil wazlib. need i say more

— never made the connection that werewolf mcwerewolf always disappeared at the full moon and was sick after it

— thought it was smart to put his face into a bowl (pensive) filled with an unknown liquid

— performed numerous spells from the inside of a book without knowing what they would do

— never thought to make some liquid luck (or save the stuff he won) and go kill voldemort

Parallels!!!

I don’t know if anyone’s pointed out this yet but:

��You pulled me from the river, why?”

“Why didn’t you tell her? Bellatrix. You knew it was me.” 

AKA: Two times the Goth!boyfriend protected their Pure!partner and didn’t want to admit it.

Slytherin!Drarry AU

Okay so I love Ron Weasley but imagine if Ron and Draco switched lives?

Harry meeting Draco and his mother on the platform. Narcissa falling in love with the rumpled little boy and showing him how to get onto the platform.

Harry and Draco sitting together on the train and Draco telling Harry all about the wizarding world and their various traditions.

“Blonde hair and a pristine robe? You must be a Malfoy.”

Harry getting sorted into Slytherin, much to the dismay of the other students, but Harry just being happy to be with his new friend.

Draco and Harry practicing quidditch together and Draco being ecstatic when Harry is made seeker.

Draco defending Harry from Snape.

Second year Draco sticking up for Harry when everyone thinks he’s the Heir of Slytherin (along with the rest of Slytherin house)

Third year Draco knowing all about how Sirius Black was framed and helping Harry free him

Fourth year when Harry is entered into the tournament, the entire Slytherin house bans together to help him fucking own the tasks. (Draco being Harry’s biggest fan and making “Potter Rules” badges.)

Fifth year Harry still forming the DA except this time around it’s more than half Slytherin (Turns out Draco’s Patronus is also a stag ;) )

Sixth year Harry not even needing the half blood prince’s textbook because Draco is such a whiz at potions and tutors him free of charge

Sixth year Draco is still pressured with killing Dumbledore and Draco tries to draw away from Harry, for Harry’s sake, but Harry refuses to leave Draco alone until one day Draco ends up hugging Harry and sobbing into his chest telling him about everything that’s going on. Harry hugging him back with equal tightness, telling Draco that they’ll figure it out.

Seventh year Draco ends up telling Harry about his feelings for him and Harry smiling and saying he feels the same way. (Everyone in the Slytherin common room sighing in relief when the pair come out holding hands because finally.)

Seventh year Draco fighting against Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts (as does most of Slytherin house)

Draco and Harry come back for eighth year and everyone faking gagging at the pair of them because they are so in love

Draco and Harry coming back to Hogwarts as professors (Potions and DADA respectively)

Just Slytherin!Drarry AU’s man

Battle of Hogwarts Alt. Ending

“And where would you like me to take them?” 

“The dungeons will do.”

The other houses erupted into cheers, as Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle and many other Slytherins started filing out of the hall.  

“No.” Came a voice. Draco Malfoy stepped out of the crowd of Slytherins, his head held high. He looked determined, and beautiful.

“I beg your pardon Mr. Malfoy?” Asked Professor McGonagall. The hall was deafeningly quiet.

“No,” Draco said, his voice firmer, “We will not leave. Some of us actually want to fight.” 

For a tense moment, Draco looked worried that no one would support him, that he’d be thrown into the dungeon anyway and be made a laughing stock. 

Harry couldn’t let that happen. 

“Let him fight.” He found himself saying.

If possible, the dining hall became even quieter. The faces of Gryffindor's, Hufflepuff's, Ravenclaw’s, and Professor's staring at him, stunned, and slightly confused. None more so than Draco Malfoy himself. 

“What are you doing, mate?” Ron whispered.

“No idea.” Harry whispered back before continuing, louder, “If Draco and the Slytherins want to fight with us, who are we to stop them?” Harry looked directly at Draco, “Right, Draco?” 

Draco wiped the shock off his face, and stared at Harry warily. He could almost see the gears turning in Draco’s head, deciding whether or not Harry was tricking him. 

“Yes,” Draco nodded, “I wish to fight.” 

“As do I.” Blaise said, stepping beside Draco.

In the end, about half of the Slytherins stepped forward to fight, the other half continued on their way to the dungeons.

“Now that that’s resolved”,” said Professor McGonagall, “Battle positions!”

----

Draco had been helping Madam Pomfree with the wounded when he heard the screaming.

“Harry Potter is dead!”

Suddenly, Draco couldn’t hear, or see, or feel anything. For one moment, he was blessedly numb. Then the voice came again.

“Harry Potter is dead!” 

Dropping the potion he was holding, Draco ran toward the courtyard and almost threw up at the sight before him. Standing before him was Voldemort’s army, his mother and father standing prominently on the front line, but what really nauseated him was Hagrid. Standing off to the side, the poor giant was shackled in chains, and carrying a body. 

Harry’s body.

“Now is your time to declare your allegiance to me.” Voldemort said.

Draco knew what was coming before his father even opened his mouth. 

“Draco!” Lucius hissed, “Draco, come here!” 

Draco looked around nervously. He didn’t want to go to his father, but what would happen if he disobeyed?

“Draco,” his mother said, “Come.” 

He was torn. His school or his mother? A building full of kids who loathe him or a family who abuses him? The only thing that may have made him stay at Hogwarts was gone, lying dead in Hagrid’s arms. 

Draco began to walk towards his mother, when suddenly, Harry flung himself out of Hagrid’s arms.

“Potter!” Draco shouting, running towards him. Draco wasn’t sure what he was going to do but he did know that he wanted to help Harry, no, he needed to help him. 

“Malfoy!” Harry shouted back, “Give me your wand!”

Draco didn’t even hesitate. He pulled his mother’s wand out of his pocket and tossed it to Harry not a moment too soon. Voldemort sent a barrage of curses at them, Harry just managing to shield himself and Draco before they hit. 

“Thank you for the wand, Draco.” Harry said.

Draco blushed and looked away, “Now is not the time for a heart to heart, Potter.” 

Harry was looking at him strangely, his eyes seemed to be looking straight into Draco’s soul.

“We need to get inside.” Harry said. He then grabbed Draco’s hand and the pair sprinted inside the castle, the doors closing behind them.

“Draco,” Harry said, that same unreadable look in his eyes, “why didn’t you tell them it was me?”

Draco said nothing.

“You knew it was me.”

Draco resolutely looked anywhere other than Harry. He feared that if the other boy saw his face, he would know exactly why Draco didn’t expose him. 

“You’re the Chosen One.” Draco said, “I refused to be the one held responsible for your death.” 

He heard Harry laugh, “I’ve always liked your wit.” Harry said, “and your hair.” He reached out and ran his hand through Draco’s platinum hair. 

Draco’s breath caught in his throat, “H-Harry?” He said, looking down at Harry. 

Harry smiled and leaned in, his lips ghosting across Draco’s.

“I think I know the real reason you didn’t tell them.” He whispered across Draco’s lips. 

“Oh, sod off!” Draco laughed, sealing their lips together tightly. 

Draco kissed Harry like his life depended on it, like he never would again. Knowing the boy he was kissing, never kissing him again was a very real possibility.

‘I’m kissing Harry bloody Potter’ thought Draco, ‘Voldemort could kill me now, and I would have no regrets.’

Voldemort.

Voldemort who is still alive.

Voldemort who Harry has to go defeat.

Draco pulled away abruptly, leaving both boys gasping for air.

“What’d you stop for?” Harry whined, trying to lean back in.

Draco allowed himself one more peck, before pushing Harry away firmly.

“Go be a hero, Chosen One.”

Draco TED Talk

DRACO MALFOY IS THE DEFINITION OF AN ABUSE VICTIM!!

Mentally he was shamed, isolated, ridiculed, and tormented by not only his family, but his classmates.

Physically he was beaten, cursed, hexed, and threatened. 

“You don’t understand, if I don’t kill you, he’ll kill me.” 

This sentence is spoken by a scared boy. One who truly believes he will be killed for disobeying. One who probably HAS been punished for disobeying/failing before. 

Of course this does not excuse his racism or any of his other cruel acts throughout the book, but please, think about how much trauma Draco had endured before you send him to Azkaban.

As a fanfic writer, I can confirm

Me, an avid reader of fanfiction: god fucking damn these characters need to communicate and fuck already

Also me, a fanfiction writer: and after thirty chapters, six arguments brought forth by misunderstandings and miscommunication they have finally made eye contact
