imagining fred and george helping you when you’re sick/disabled

noticed that not a lot of fanfics deal with illness and disability, which is a pretty big part of a lot of people’s lives (including mine) so here are some little tender/supportive/funny moments i imagine relating to that!

-when you’re stuck in bed they pamper you with meals and one or both of them is constantly by your side

-when you’re less mobile they take the lead during sex and do everything to please you while you lay there. george would treat you like royalty and become submissive, while fred would want to gently dom you and say cheeky stuff like “don’t go anywhere” when he knows you literally can’t

-conjuring heating and cooling spells when you’re hurting

-taking you to the doctor and joking around in the exam room while you wait so you don’t feel nervous

-holding your hand while you get shots/get blood drawn/get a procedure done

-when you can’t walk, george would jump at the opportunity to scoop you up and carry you around

-asking to “try” your meds, “just to see”

in this window of time {george weasley x reader}

a/n: omgg thank u all sm for the love !! sorry for not posting, i have finals atm </3 i rlly rlly hope u guys like this one (it is a bit rushed ! and kinda bad but i still think its coot)

warning(s): FLUFF FLUFF!!! kinda cringe how soft and sweet this is, so if u don’t like soft boys maybe skip this one </333

sitting on the couch in the gryffindor common room, your boyfriend george ran his fingers down your back until his large palm rested on the top of your tailbone,

“c’mere.” his voice barely even a whisper, wrapping his hands around your waist and pulling you in between his legs, having your back resting against his chest.

the beating of his heart rhythmically ringing in your left ear, the warmness of the fireplace and your boyfriend's knitted sweater were just enough to make you drowsy.

using his free hand to caress your cheek softly, he loved the sight.

you slowly succumbing to your tiredness, eyes softly shut and your lips parted ever so slightly to exhale in your sleep.

you were truly a work of art, although, if you were awake you’d tease him for staring. he could not help himself, it was in moments like these where time seemed to stop for him.

where even if the world were to end tomorrow he wouldn’t rush or even change a thing, he knew that if he were to die, he would happily spend his last few hours wrapped in your touch.

every part of him seemed to love and adore you, as if you were magnetic.

it was moments like this where time would pause and he’d realize just how much he loved you.

he chuckled for a moment, the thoughts replaying in his brain causing him to become a bit embarrassed. his family knew he was the more emotional one when compared to his twin and for years he denied it, but in this small window of time he realized it was true.

but part of him just didn’t care. if it was supposed to be embarrassing that he felt this much for you, when you only deserved this much love and adoration, then how could that be shameful or humiliating.

he had never felt shame in loving you, in windows of time like this, how could he?

you were perfect.

he laid his head back and relaxed, his cheeks tinted with a shade of red.

“lookin' quite comfy georgie.”

a voice of someone too familiar chimed from behind the couch, george whipping his head around to meet the eyes of his brother, fred.

“oh bug off, and be quiet, they’re sleeping.” george motioned down at your snoozing frame.

fred let out a quiet laugh and wiggled his eyebrows at george, sending him a playful wink before jogging up the stairs.

“git.” george muttered.

Writing x Characters When You Aren’t x, A Masterlist

x: a variable used to represent something unknown.

We’ve seen an influx of questions about how to write stories based around characters of color, disability, non-binary, etc. when the author does not fall into these categories. Rather than have these posts take over the site, we’ve decided to compile a list of resources to help our fellow writers become more educated about writing what they do not immediately know. However, this list is not the end-all-be-all of knowledge; one should always try to learn from someone with first hand experience in any topic. The world is constantly growing and changing, and because of that, there will always be more to learn. The admins at Plotline Hotline want to help writers form respectful, informed, and realistic characters that broaden the narrow range we see in literature today. 

*Be wary that some of the topics listed below contain sensitive material. Reader discretion is advised.* 

As always, the links I found to be especially apt will be in bold. Topics are listed alphabetically, excepting the “other” section.

So... it’s been awhile...

I’m gonna post something more detailed about what happened during my impromptu hiatus and what I’m up to lately but I think I can say for sure that I’m back again.

Ways to un-stick a stuck story

Do an outline, whatever way works best. Get yourself out of the word soup and know where the story is headed.

Conflicts and obstacles. Hurt the protagonist, put things in their way, this keeps the story interesting. An easy journey makes the story boring and boring is hard to write.

Change the POV. Sometimes all it takes to untangle a knotted story is to look at it through different eyes, be it through the sidekick, the antagonist, a minor character, whatever.

Know the characters. You can’t write a story if the characters are strangers to you. Know their likes, dislikes, fears, and most importantly, their motivation. This makes the path clearer.

Fill in holes. Writing doesn’t have to be linear; you can always go back and fill in plotholes, and add content and context.

Have flashbacks, hallucinations, dream sequences or foreshadowing events. These stir the story up, deviations from the expected course add a feeling of urgency and uncertainty to the narrative.

Introduce a new mystery. If there’s something that just doesn’t add up, a big question mark, the story becomes more compelling. Beware: this can also cause you to sink further into the mire.

Take something from your protagonist. A weapon, asset, ally or loved one. Force him to operate without it, it can reinvigorate a stale story.

Twists and betrayal. Maybe someone isn’t who they say they are or the protagonist is betrayed by someone he thought he could trust. This can shake the story up and get it rolling again.

Secrets. If someone has a deep, dark secret that they’re forced to lie about, it’s a good way to stir up some fresh conflict. New lies to cover up the old ones, the secret being revealed, and all the resulting chaos.

Kill someone. Make a character death that is productive to the plot, but not “just because”. If done well, it affects all the characters, stirs up the story and gets it moving.

Ill-advised character actions. Tension is created when a character we love does something we hate. Identify the thing the readers don’t want to happen, then engineer it so it happens worse than they imagined.

Create cliff-hangers. Keep the readers’ attention by putting the characters into new problems and make them wait for you to write your way out of it. This challenge can really bring out your creativity.

Raise the stakes. Make the consequences of failure worse, make the journey harder. Suddenly the protagonist’s goal is more than he expected, or he has to make an important choice.

Make the hero active. You can’t always wait for external influences on the characters, sometimes you have to make the hero take actions himself. Not necessarily to be successful, but active and complicit in the narrative.

Different threat levels. Make the conflicts on a physical level (“I’m about to be killed by a demon”), an emotional level (“But that demon was my true love”) and a philosophical level (“If I’m forced to kill my true love before they kill me, how can love ever succeed in the face of evil?”).

Figure out an ending. If you know where the story is going to end, it helps get the ball rolling towards that end, even if it’s not the same ending that you actually end up writing.

What if? What if the hero kills the antagonist now, gets captured, or goes insane? When your write down different questions like these, the answer to how to continue the story will present itself.

Start fresh or skip ahead. Delete the last five thousand words and try again. It’s terrifying at first, but frees you up for a fresh start to find a proper path. Or you can skip the part that’s putting you on edge – forget about that fidgety crap, you can do it later – and write the next scene. Whatever was in-between will come with time.
