Day Four - 8,237/50k

The first thing Harry noticed as he went downstairs for breakfast was the letters on the table. There were two, each with their names written in looping script in green ink. There was no address on them so he had no idea how they could have found them, especially with all the wards. Harry reached out then stopped himself, remembering Draco’s comment on tracking spells the last time they got letters. He wasn’t too concerned about more dangerous spells, the letter was clearly from Hogwarts, but better safe than sorry. As he turned to fetch Draco he came down the stairs, hair still damp from a shower and yawning widely. He gestured to the letters on the table, suddenly unable to speak. Draco frowned and began checking them over the same way he had the miscellaneous trinkets around the house. This routine was so familiar he knew before Draco said it that the letters were clean.

Day Three - 6,064/50k

Draco disappeared up the stairs after washing his own plate for once and returned a few minutes later holding the mysterious plastic bag from a few days ago. Harry thought he had done quite well ignoring the mini mystery but still couldn’t help the excitement at the chance to finally solve it. Draco refused to meet his eye as he handed over the bag and Harry looked inside. No matter how long he had wondered about its contents he would never have guessed it correctly.

Day Two - 4,292/50k

Draco was waiting for him by the front door, paper bags stored in his book bag which Harry had forgotten he owned. After one last check that they had everything Harry cautiously opened the door a part of him expecting to see the order crowded around the entrance that they could see but not enter. There was no one there. A few muggles could be seen walking past on the sidewalk, but no one looked up or acted like them standing in the doorway was in any way unusual. The door locked automatically as Draco pulled it shut behind him and the pair headed off down the road.

Day One; 2505/50k

With a bit of finagling he managed to remove the thing and was hit with a sudden cold. All of a sudden he couldn’t move as the trunk opened and a fog filled the room and ice started to cover the metal hinges. Almost in slow motion the familiar shape of a Dementor rose out of the trunk and Harry could hear distant screaming. On instinct he raised his wand and shouted the Patronus charm. The glowing white stag erupted from the tip of his wand and pushed the Dementor back into the trunk as Draco slammed the lid down and shoved the padlock back into place. Harry dropped to the floor and buried his face in his knees as he struggled to get enough air in his lungs. Part of him knew it was just an after affect and would fade soon but the rest of him felt like he was dying as his breath caught in his throat time and time again. Eventually he caught his breath and looked up to find Draco, pale and shaking, looking down at him in concern. He waved him off and forced himself to his feet.

Hold My Tongue - HP

"We keep giving you children these names," the goddess said softly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind his ear, "and yet we are continually surprised when the story plays out the same way each time."

Genre: sci-fi, myth retelling Audience: NA Content Warnings: death, violence, religious trauma/themes

But when jealous gods steal away Patroclus, the other half of his soul and fellow pilot, nothing can stop Achilles. from tearing his way across the stars to rescue him. Odysseus was always a reluctant leader, better suited to practical jokes and mischief than leading warriors in battle. Someone has to try to keep Achilles from killing himself in a suicide mission, and lending a hand just so happens to be the perfect escape from a destiny Odysseus never wanted. But as their group of rebellious godlings get closer to their goal, they discover secrets that risk everything their society is built on.

OC Questions Tag

thanks @writinglyra (and the wtw discord) for tagging me!

I'm answering this about the MC of my NaNo WIP, Ophelia.

Five words to physically describe your OC Young, Small, Tanned, Toned, Friendly

Who inspired your OC? Clara Oswald from Doctor Who. She was one of my favourite companions and it was one of her episodes that inspired this whole WIP. As I expanded Ophelia further she gained a lot from The Doctor, mostly I'd say 9 and 10.

Give me a song to define your OC You set sail alone, there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you This is all your own battle to win This is your ship and you are the captain - Ship in a Bottle, fin

If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me? Probably by asking a seemingly insane question as she tries to find something to do while on earth or solve an alien related problem.

Can your OC be your best friend? Why? She does not hang around people long enough for anyone to be her best friend. The mere thought terrifies her.

One adjective and one noun to describe your OC Traumatized Wanderer

OC Questions Tag

Thank you to @redbloodprose for tagging me in this. Sorry it's taken me this long; I've had a busy month. I'll answer these for Ekela from Monsters and Majesty.

Five words to physically describe your OC

Freckled, shaggy, lithe, young, and tired

Who inspired your OC?

Ekela is pulled from a lot of places. Aesthetically there's sort of an Orpheus quality to him, but it's subverted with his character arc in the end. And I think some of the philosophy I approached the love story with comes from Obi-Wan Kenobi in The Clone Wars.

Give me a song to define your OC

"I tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My my my, my my my, my my Right in this moment, this order's tall" - Skinny Love, Bon Iver

If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?

Ekela is obsessed with making a good first impression. He would be extremely nice and probably offer to help with something even if you didn't need any obvious help.

Can your OC be your best friend? Why?

I think me and Ekela would get along. A few years after the story ends, and he's closer to my age, I think he'd be a bit more mature. He's a pretty quiet guy and I tend to like quiet people, and we agree on a lot--especially when it comes to sacrifice.

One adjective and one noun to describe your OC

Desperate outsider

I'll tag @sugar-phoenix, @delphicoraclecatss, @veneritia, @worldsfromhoney, and @sourrcandy
