So you’re in college and one day this student athlete who’s in your improv class asks you to be his date at an event for his team. It’s nothing serious—everyone knows he’s in a committed relationship, but it’s also a long-distance relationship, and he explains that they’ve decided to keep it at least semi-open while apart, so you could totally hook up with him—and he’s nice and easy to talk to, and so you overlook the fact that his team is consistently wrapped up in some scandal or another (especially the new guy). The drive there is pretty chill, except as soon as you get there, the coach gives the star player (who’s also famous) a bottle of vodka and he just goes to town on it, which is weird, but whatever. And then you go inside and find your seats, which are across from the team’s rivals (which—really? who planned this?), and the world’s tensest, most confusing conversation devolves into the new guy ripping into the other team’s captain (who, by the way, is also famous), and you all get moved to sit with the coaches, which is weird but fine. After eating, things are good—you dance with your date, some people have a volleyball game going, and other than some altercation happening off to the side of the room (you’re pretty sure the guy’s team captain just hit a guy in the balls with her heels), everything is normal, and eventually the coach rounds you up and you head back to campus, and after that you don’t really do anything with the guy again, but around thanksgiving one of his cousins kills a guy, and then the new guy comes back from winter break with one of the face tattoos the two famous guy and their friend have, and then a few months later he gets kidnapped by his dad (who was apparently a serial killer he was running from?) and even with all of that they somehow not only make it to finals but are the first team to ever beat their rivals out—and for the championship trophy, no less—and the other team’s captain maybe tries to kill the new guy on live tv but the guy from improv’s other cousin stops him by breaking his arm, and shortly after the game the news breaks that the other team’s captain killed himself after losing, after which his coach steps down and a bunch of information starts leaking suggesting that the rival team was some kind of cult. Your name is Jim, and you kind of think you should quit improv and maybe transfer schools.

fifteen for kingsley

15. my hc for their style

I want you to think 1910s through 1940s fashion mixed with 70s maximalism displayed through accessories and excessive wear of leather and occasionally fur

Think jacob anderson as louis de pointe du lac in interview with the vampire think vests,trench coats, and leather shoes

Kingsley’s style is chic,over the top, and expensive he prefers cooler tones and darker colours he loves wearing purples and blues he’s a big fan of accessorising he loves scarves and hats he has signature pieces of jewelry he never takes off (including his wedding band that he keeps on even after he and moody divorce and his cross pendant)

Here’s a few things from my kingsley board:

"platonic prongsfoot" they're kissing with tongue and jerking each other off as we speak

[star4daisy]

I've talked a lot about why Andreil are so special to me, but not until my 3rd read of The Kings Men have I truly been able to pin it down. on page 110 (TKM) Neil comments that "Aaron was staring at Andrew like he'd never seen him before" in referral to Andrew attacking Allison because she hit Aaron. and it just BECAUSE HE FUCKING HASN'T and urghhhh I just get so feral over this because for the ENTIRE SERIES it's just so painfully obviously that Andrew's own family doesn't FUCKING GET HIMMMM they call him crazy and psychotic JUST AS OFTEN AS THE UPPERCLASSMEN, IF NOT MORE. Neil spends the ENITRE FIRST BOOK wondering why the hell Andrew's own family treats him the way they do. I am so passionate about this because I am in fact an Andrew Minyard enthusiast(TM) but THAT IS WHY NEIL IS SO SPECIAL because for the first time EVER someone looks at Andrew and truly SEES HIM LIKE OH MY GOD ASKJFKASJFKDSF I apologize for my insanity but in all seriousness, Andreil is so special because Andrew hid behind his drugs, he hid behind indifference and the sociopathic persona that his peers gave him but Neil called bullshit and stuck around even when he pieced together who Andrew really was. all the while Andrew's own family looked at him like he as a monster. Neil knew there was more to him that who Andrew chose to let the Foxes see, he stood his ground and he asked and he fought for Andrew. he fought for the Foxes and that's why Neil is different. Because no one had ever truly fought for Andrew before. not even his own brother.

when evan is jealous his first instinct doing the same and making it even but when barty is jealous he just lashes out and threaten the person who is hanging from evan's ass

[star4daisy]

hate when someone goes “ewww why would you make those characters have an awful unhealthy toxicstyle relationship that’s so gross nobody should ever read that.” well i am actually a small and repulsive creature and i live in a cave and i’m endangered and if i don’t read stories about characters who have a relationship that is bad for both of them & makes everything worse then i will die. and here you are saying i ought to be shot in the head. here you are trying to take me out back behind the barn. i’m not even hurting anyone and you hate me just because of my many hideous eyes that look like gelatinous piles of goo. and my diet is only raw fish

if this doesn't illustrate the perfect exchange between these four people

[star4daisy]

please please expand on the genderbent black brothers and black sisters

this is giving me brainrot so i am VERY happy to do that. under the cut bc it gets long:

first, it would change the dynamic of the Black family all the way across the board. it's walburga and orion who have the daughters, while cygnus and druella have the sons. i think this could change parenting styles a LOT, depending on how the parents are characterized to begin with, which ofc would have an overall impact on the children etc etc.

that being said, bellatrix being the eldest son... he is the heir that they wanted to sirius to be. just as skilled & powerful, but also someone who upholds the family values (the pureblood ideology to be clear). he would take his duties as the heir very seriously; he'd marry at the first opportunity & also have children as soon as he could to carry on the bloodline. i think he'd still become a death eater and a very terrifying one at that (just like canon), and i think he could still end up extremely loyal to voldemort, which would end with him still going to azkaban tbh, but i think he'd leave behind a wife (unless she went with him?) and children, who would likely be raised by narcissa.

andromeda, still the middle son, not required to be the heir but still facing the expectations of his family. him running away... i think, quite frankly, if he falls in love and has no interest in staying with the family/doesn't agree with the family values etc etc, he would still go. i could see it being a little different, though, given that they all have different duties now. like, andromeda isn't a woman and therefore isn't expected to marry and produce heirs—or he is, but bellatrix is already doing it/has already done it, so he has a little more wiggle room. i think him getting caught up with someone would be waved off if he was a boy, or labeled as a "dalliance" or just a boy being rebellious etc etc. he'd for sure get a lot of "you're making us look bad" scoldings, but i could see it also being more like an alphard situation, that as long as he doesn't marry someone he shouldn't or have children with them, he could still remain in the family/not disowned. would he do that? idk, but i also don't know that bellatrix, as the heir, would really give him a choice in the matter either. i could absolutely see him threatening or killing anyone andromeda tried to get with, ESPECIALLY if they're not "suitable" for him. but i guess it would depend on how defiant andromeda would be in that position as the second born son, with an older brother who is filling their father's shoes perfectly etc etc + the extra freedoms and passes he'd be granted as a man. if he did insist on running and getting away from his family, not only for love but also for having different values, then he'd end up disowned for sureeee. and i think bella would see it even more like a duty to "take care of it" aka kill him and his family.

narcissa... youngest son... an afterthought atp. the spare of the spare. sorry just had the most insane thought of not genderbending lucius and them 2 being gay and falling in love.... or omg, narcissa being raised as a son but she's actually a trans woman... shaking in my boots rn but no, okay, im focusing. im staying on track... third son narcissa, he would either be the spoiled baby or barely noticed, no in between, and i think both would make him eager to follow the example bellatrix would set for him. he idolizes his big brother, but does he also resent him? perhaps he feels the need to compete with him. hates him and also wants to be him. can never be him. he would get along more with andromeda, and probably be even closer to him, but it'd be bellatrix he's obsessed with emulating. bellatrix is who he wants to be, and i actually LOVE the idea of murderous narcissa consumed with the idea of fratricide. the idea of him doing something to get bellatrix put in azkaban (he tips off the aurors, maybe) and then raising bellatrix's children, bedding his wife, taking over his life..... INSANE. i could see him being a lot like lucius as well, as far as like. evading consequences for being a death eater and loving his child/ren, but also the idea of him having his own child/ren except he takes in bellatrix's and loves them more... oh, that's so juicy to me sorry.

sirius... eldest daughter.... not expected to be the heir, but expected to marry a proper suiter and have children and also uphold the family values. again, different raising could change a lot, but let's just say it's similar, and sirius would of course still be as defiant and outspoken as ever. i truly do not think sirius would want to marry and have kids, and i think that would be a problem. i think it would be one of those situations where her parents are pressuring her and not letting it go, and it could play out the same was as it did in canon, where she runs away to live with the potters. OR, she uses james as the solution lmao. like, if we're only genderbending the Blacks, then james is still a pureblood son, and while he is from a blood traitor family that his parents hate, there's room for compromise, depending on how orion and walburga approach the situation. i truly do believe james would marry her, literally no questions asked and with no hesitation, and not even bc they're dating or in love or whatever, but literally just because it's sirius 😭 and we know lucretia black wasn't disowned for marrying a prewett (also blood traitors), even though cedrella was for marrying a weasley, so it could go either way. but the thing is, i don't know that sirius WOULD marry james. i feel like she would refuse to appease her parents anyway, whether she was in love with james or not, ya know? again, that'd really depend on home life and expectations etc etc, and i also think her role as an older sister would play a role in it as well. eldest daughter syndrome would go SO hard for sirius oh my godddd. she doesn't want to be a mother but she's already a mother. her little sister is her baby and she hates her and loves her and could never leave her and never wants to see her again... and god, the idea of sirius being her mother's porcelain doll and her father's baby girl... SO much to play with there, im going insane.

as for regulus... youngest daughter, little sister... she's not important in the grand scheme of things tbh. like, she's not even a spare, she's failure take 2 lmao. sirius wasn't a boy which was bad enough, but then regulus wasn't either??? double the damage. however i do think she would marry without fuss and have children like she's "supposed" to. i think it depends on HER situation if she'd leave with sirius or not. like, if she was going to have a comfortable life and a worthy husband etc, i think she'd stay, but if she didn't like her betrothed or didn't consider him worth her time, i could see her leaving with sirius lmao, because she's not gaining anything by staying. they're not heirs, y'know? i think regulus would take after her mother in that she would not be eager to give up her last name (and probably would have married WITHIN the family if she could) so unless she personally deemed her betrothed as "worthy" of a Black, she'd just take it as a slight and nope the fuck out lmaooo. however, if she DID stay (most likely), she'd be doing her best to prove that she was the Better Daughter all along, and i think she'd be absolutely fucking furious and heartbroken about sirius leaving, UNLESS she got the husband sirius didn't want or something. like, maybe the whole time she was bitter bc sirius got the best pick of the lot and when sirius leaves, SHE gets whoever it is instead, and is smug about it, at least until she has to spend the rest of her life with a man who wanted her sister over her and makes that as clear as possible every chance he gets, which would just make her hate sirius more... mm, so much angst potential... and she wouldn't be a death eater i think, unless... i mean she still COULD be, but i don't know that her parents would be proud of her for that, not if they want her to marry and be a mother, so like. if she didn't care to become a death eater, she would live, she'd be married, have children or just one, and she'd be around when sirius goes to azkaban. she'd still be around when sirius broke out... sirius coming to her sister... regulus taking her in....

so yeah, there's a lot to play around with here. i don't think bending their genders would swap their stories the other way around, i think they'd have similar stories to what it was originally, but with crazy variations. im so not normal about this. im gonna be thinking about forever now....

snippet time!

thanks for tagging me @del-stars @ecstarry @star4daisy @a-lilypad

He soon realised his mother didn’t love him. He was just necessary, an heir to continue their sacred bloodline. That was the only reason he was still alive and well, living with their cruel mother under her protection at any cost.

He wasn’t a favourite. He was just a must-have.

How much he tried didn’t matter. For Walburga, everything he did, he did it wrong. A mistake. Someone to punish and should get in the line as fast as possible.

He hated himself, hated who he was. If he couldn’t make his mother happy even for a single moment, was he even worth tolerating? No, he wasn’t. Walburga made sure to remind him of this ugly truth. And if it wasn't for the fact that he was her firstborn, he would have been left in a ditch to die. He was sure of it.

Eventually, he accepted this unbearable truth and embodied it. Growing up, he made fewer mistakes, took fewer wrong turns. He spoke less and became someone who wasn’t him. And with that, Walburga became more accepting, more tolerating his presence. To Sirius, it was worth it.

Or so he thought.

The words continued to echo in his brain for the rest of his life.

“One day, you’re going to rule the world.”

Regulus as a tired, overworked student who frequents the hotel bar by his apartment to work on his PhD thesis (there are couches and the right amount of background noise and no one bats an eye at him pulling a laptop out with a drink in hand, alone). James as the nepo-baby son of the hotel owners who has taken over most operations, and becomes infatuated with the socially awkward man always sat cross-legged on the far couch, often looking, frankly, on the brink of death. James who did major in hospitality, after all, and develops an insistent need care of this man that obviously isn’t taking care of himself.

Regulus, who doesn’t know why the hotel staff keep sending him free bar food, “on the house.” And then, instead of bar food, it’s appetizers and small plates from the fancy attached restaurant, and then, oh come on, that’s like a $100 steak entree, and then the owner of the hotel is personally delivering them??? The hottest man regulus has ever seen, mind you??

James, who makes it his personal mission to get regulus to take a break, maybe even relax. Who ultimately succeeds at this, to regulus’s embarrassment, surprisingly quickly, because regulus simply cannot resist a beautiful man in business clothes taking care of him.

"One Day" situationship prongsfoot // @del-stars @star4daisy @v7lgar

“I think I’m lost,” James said, frustrated.

They had been going in circles for an hour, saying the same fucking thing but never quite understanding each other’s points.

“It’s not like you can have the 'Talk' while you’re still figuring things out—”

James opened his mouth to argue, but Sirius immediately pointed a scolding finger at him. Mockingly, James zipped his lips and nodded for him to continue, which only pissed Sirius off more.

“I know this might be hard for James Loverboy Potter to understand, but there is such a thing as too soon.” Sirius shot him a pointed look. “So, in the meantime, it’s a situationship.”

“Can I talk now?”

Sirius leaned in closer, retracing the path James had just followed to unzip his lips. “Yeah, go ahead.”

The smugness on James’ face washed away immediately. “Just because you’re figuring things out doesn’t mean you’re in a situationship.”

James didn’t pull back, and neither did Sirius. James shifted on the couch, trying to shake off the weird energy—or whatever it was that kept happening when they got too close.

Sirius carried on as if nothing had changed. “I don’t know. Sometimes you just aren’t sure what you want yet.”

“Then why not say that? That way, both people are on the same page about where they stand.”

They both leaned back, their heads resting against the couch, staring at the ceiling.

“Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for other people,” Sirius insisted.

James bumped his elbow against Sirius’ in silent demand for an example.

“Barty and Evan are—”

“No.” James quickly interrupted, sitting up straighter. Sirius followed. “Whatever they have going on should never be used as an example when talking about relationships.”

“Fair.”

“You can just say you’re seeing someone.”

“That’s so fucking vague,” Sirius argued.

“And situationship isn’t?” James countered.

“A situationship doesn’t have to be romantic—it can just be about sex.”

“Oh.”

He didn’t say more, afraid his voice would break.

James hated it. He told himself he just hated disagreeing with Pads—that it had nothing to do with the other night. Or with what happened during summer break. Or winter break.

Or with how badly he wanted it to keep happening. Again and again.

“What?” Sirius asked.

“I just didn’t know you saw it that way.” James closed his eyes tightly, trying to hold back tears.

He felt Sirius move closer—he knew even before Sirius’ hand reached his, before the fabric of his clothes made a single sound. He knew. James always knew when Sirius was near.

“Jamie.”

“Mhm?” Barely a sound left James’ lips.

“What are we talking about?”

“I don’t know,” James mumbled, finally opening his eyes, knowing he would find Sirius’ gaze already fixed on him.

“What ar—?”

Sirius gently took his hand and squeezed it. “Can we not talk about it anymore?”

“Yeah.”

Maybe one day, they could.

[star4daisy]

18/02 - husband - 1272 words - @rosekillermicrofic

“Where is he?” Barty asked desperately as soon as he entered the hospital. “Where the fuck is he?”

No one answered him. The place was a convoluted mess, with people running around, crying kids and wounded people in the waiting line. Barty barely avoided colliding with them as he ran to the front office.

The line was so big he considered stabbing himself to get admitted, that’s when he saw his salvation in the form of one Pandora Rosier. Barty skipped the line to where she was way ahead, ignoring all the protests around him. If anyone tried to stop him, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from getting physical.

“Do you know how he is?” he didn’t bother saying hi to her, he couldn’t make himself talk about anything other than Evan.

Pandora didn’t look nearly as distraught as Barty felt, but she had always been better at keeping her emotions in. It must run in the blood.

“Haven’t gotten any information yet, they said I needed to check here first.”

“Motherfuckers.” Barty cursed, ignoring the old lady in front of them who was sending him dirty looks.

It felt like an eternity before they were called, but Pandora only had two people in front of her in line. Barty let her do the talking, he wasn’t in the right headspace to be polite to anyone right now. Not when Evan was injured and Barty didn’t know how he was doing. Didn’t even know if he was alive. No. Barty couldn’t let himself go there or he’d lose his mind. Turn the entire hospital into ashes in his wake. Hell, he might let himself burn too so that he could meet Evan again.

“What’s your name, sir?” The lady finally turned to him after Pandora had already given all her information and Evan's.

“Bartemius Crouch Junior.” Barty had no patience to entertain her.

“Document, please.”

Barty gave it to her as quickly as he could, almost dropping it in the process, he didn’t know why his hands wouldn’t stop shaking.

“Okay, Mister Rosier just got out of surgery, he’s still at the ICU, so only family members and partners can go up.”

“Okay, I’m his partner.” Barty didn’t even blink, there was a time when it would’ve cost him everything to admit it, but now it came as easy as breathing.

“I meant legally,” she clarified with an apologetic look. “His sister can go in, but I’m afraid you're not on the allowed list.”

“Excuse me?” Barty’s voice went up without even meaning to. “I’ve been with him for years, we’ve known each other since we were eleven and you’re telling me I can’t fucking see him because we don’t have a stupid piece of paper saying we’re partners?”

“I’m sorry sir, but only spouses and family members are allowed, you’ll have to wait until he’s out of the ICU.”

“Wait my ass, I’m going in to see him.” Barty hit his fist on the glass separating them.

“I’m gonna need you to calm down, sir. Or you’ll be asked to leave.”

Barty’s laughter was brittle. “The only way I’m leaving here is if you're all on a casket if you don’t let me in.”

“Barty,” Pandora interrupted his tirade. “Evan is fine, he’s in the room now. He wouldn’t want you to end up in jail or worse when he’s okay.”

“Fuck off, easy for you to say when you can go in. I need to see he’s okay with my own eyes. I don’t believe this cunt or any of these useless motherfuckers.”

“Barty,” her tone was full of warning.

“I need to see him.”

“There’s nothing we can do.”

“Yes, there is,” and then Barty turned around and started running.

He had no idea where he was going, barely avoiding hitting running nurses, he heard footsteps behind him but gave it no thought, he had a one-track mind when he was determined and nothing made him as focused as Evan.

Barty saw a sign with ICU written indicating that it was located on the seventh floor and ran to the elevators. He pressed the button five times before he saw security coming in his direction.

“Shit,” Barty checked around him for anywhere else he could go when he saw the sign for the stairs, without thinking twice he threw it open.

Barty was out of breath before he hit the third floor. He wanted to kill himself. Fuck him for never accepting Potter’s invitation to do cardio with him. They reached him before he got to the fifth floor. Barty was never smoking again, he was so out of breath he thought they might have to call a doctor for him too.

Maybe they would have if Barty hadn’t punched the first security guard to reach him, or if he hadn’t kicked the second one making him almost fall off the stairs. Unlucky for him he wasn’t in his prime anymore after all the running, Barty should've dealt with them before running, maybe he would've had a shot but as it was now he was taken kicking and screaming bloody murder.

Barty spat blood at the security guards' feet as soon as they threw him out through the emergency exit, he hadn't even felt it when they hit him. “I’m gonna kill all you motherfuckers.”

“You’re lucky we aren’t calling the cops on you,” They warned him.

Barty paid them no mind, even though one security remained outside to watch if he was gonna try to make a run for it again. Barty had never been so pissed in his entire life. How dare they not let him in just because he didn’t have a stupid piece of paper saying Evan was his forever?

It wasn’t like they hadn’t already been committed to each other for years, Barty had simply never believed in the concept of marriage. Not when all the examples he had were bloody awful. But now, after this, he was making Evan his husband as soon as he got out of the hospital.

Barty was pacing in front of the hospital when he had his most brilliant idea, he wasn't sure what gave him the idea, but he knew it was the only way he was being admitted to the hospital again after the stunt he had pulled. 

Barty turned to the guard with a shit-eating grin on his face — he couldn’t stop himself — he was a bloody genius. Barty took out the pocket knife he carried everywhere he went. He was getting in there even if he had to draw more blood.

“Don’t even try it,” the man warned him, his eyes widening as soon as he saw the knife in Barty’s hand. “Stay back,” he said as he reached for his walkie-talkie and called for reinforcement.

There was no need, Barty just needed him to see what was happening. As soon as the others stepped back outside, complaining that he was still there Barty turned the knife and stabbed himself on his side.

“Oh, shit.”

"Crazy motherfucker."

“Oh my fucking god, hold him.”

Barty was still smiling when they stopped him from hitting the floor and carried him inside the hospital. He laughed when they admitted him to the ICU and said he needed immediate surgery. 

“Barty?” Pandora asked with worry when she saw him passing in a litter. He didn’t even see when they put him there. “What the fuck did you do?”

Barty got one glimpse of Evan sitting down on his bed with a frown on his face before he passed out.

Evan was alive.

It was worth it.
