Summary: She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Karma

Summary:

It only took a month for everything in James Sirius Potter’s life to fall apart. First, he gets a career ending injury; second, his wife divorces him and leaves him with full custody of three kids; third, his world gets turned upside down when he meets the one and only Marci Abraham.

Marci in turn is still recovering from her sudden life change after leaving the states with her three young children. After an unexpected turn of events, her life finally seems to be on the up and up when she meets the handsome James Sirius Potter.

Neither of them knowing that someone is just behind the curtain, pulling the strings like the Mastermind she is.

Hi love, life's been a bit mad lately, and I've totally slacked off on the fanfic front. I noticed you've got AO3 on lockdown, and I've shot off a request for an invite too. Have you managed to start any fresh stories lately? Honestly, I'm a massive fan of your writing, and I can't wait to read more of your awesome stories!

Hello nonny! Yes I have just to be safe with all the AIs around.

I have a couple new stories at the moment.

Shatter Your Illusions of Love

Katie Bell is Healer at St. Mungo's. She deals with difficult patients all the time. Just usually not ones who have saved her life before.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Harry and Ginny's journeys through the holiday season, as well as Draco and Astoria's. Or, a contrast of these two wonderful couples.

A Christmas Miracle

Remus ran a hand over his face. Fortnite. He could see the headlines now. Young man driven to murder after his boyfriend failed to complete Christmas wrapping. He wondered if they served yams in prison. “Sirius-” “Reg is coming,” Sirius said, picking at the thread on the sleeve of his sweater. Remus’ brow furrowed. “Reg? As in your brother Regulus?” “That’d be him.” ~ With Regulus coming to their Christmas party, Remus can't help the protectiveness he feels over his boyfriend. Muggle AU.

Do you have any Roxanne headcannons? Or Angelina? 👀

I do, my love! Here are some headcannons regarding Roxanne and Angelina.

Roxanne looks like most like Angelina between her and Freddy, she's got the the big curls and big lips, same face shape, same eyebrows, same round cheeks

Roxanne is a daddy's girl and Angelina loves that. Her mom left when she was young so she was never close to her, only to her dad. So, seeing George so clearly wrapped around their daughter's finger always makes her smile

Angelina is the person Roxanne goes to when she's ready to hear the truth. Angelina is always honest, brutally so, and she gives good advice. Sometimes, it just takes Roxanne a while to come to her

Roxanne gets her drive from Angelina. They're both goal oriented and willing to make hard decisions to get what they want

When Roxanne was little, Angelina did her hair all the time and now it's a bonding experience for them. Angelina did her cousins' hair when she was young, so Roxanne's is no trouble, even if there was a lot of it. Roxanne always comes to Angelina when she has a big event she needs her hair done for

Angelina resents her mother for leaving her and her dad, so she's afraid to become a mom herself. While Freddy allowed her room to grow as a mother, Roxanne helps to heal her wounds that her own mother left

Angelina tells Roxanne that she can be anything she wants from a young age. She always reminds her that even if she's smaller than everyone in the room, she's still smarter than them all

Roxanne asks Angelina to come with her when she goes to her first ballet audition after Hogwarts. She knows she looks silly with her mom standing next to her, but there is no one she would rather have there

Roxanne doesn't get into that company, but her mom makes her tea and cookies and they spend a lot of time talking about her future

Angelina relates to Roxanne's struggles when she was trying out for Quidditch, wondering if she was good enough to even make it onto a team

That night ends with Roxanne laughing again, and that's all Angelina could ask for

Sometimes I’m laughing but then I remember that Lily Evans was only 21 on her last day. she got pregnant in the middle of the war at 19 years old and only got to know her son for one year before she was forced to trade her life for his, before she was sold away to get murdered by her most trusted friend, before she was killed by the hands of the man she gave her youth to fight against, only to lose. She was killed knowing her husband (the only man she ever loved) was lying dead on the floor of the home that they worked so hard to make, honey eyes wide open and turned to the sky that he will never get to see again. And neither will she. So she begged for her life and told her son she loves him, and than she was gone forever. So nothing’s really that funny anymore.

Listen. If you think writing fanfiction is cringe please know that I am currently pursuing my Masters degree in Creative Writing for fiction and I want you to know that most of the people in my graduate program either read fanfiction, write fanfiction, or do both. I promise you: cringe is dead. Write whatever you want. Do whatever makes you happy.

Their first moments with their son! They loved him so much that they would do anything for him.

And in fact... they did

The Golden Girls ~ Life Lessons

Dorothy has been feeling ill for a number of weeks, and is worried that there might be something seriously wrong with her health. But, after seeing numerous doctors and specialists, no one can give her an answer as to what the issue could be, and instead dismiss her concerns with claims that she’s simply depressed about being single or getting older. Dr. Budd, in particular, suggests that she ‘take a cruise’ or ‘change your hair colour’ to make herself feel better, as his own wife did. Dorothy begins to wonder if it’s all in her head, but the girls assure her that they know she’s sick because they know her. Finally, after her friend, Dr. Weston, recommends her to specialist Dr. Chang, Dorothy is diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). Relieved and happy that she finally has a name for what’s wrong with her – and that she’s not ‘crazy’ like the doctors originally made her believe – she takes the girls out to a celebratory dinner and sees Dr. Budd in the restaurant, where she decides to confront him about his treatment of her.

Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!
