on a scale from 1-10 how annoying is takearisk be honest

I mean, if 1 is the lowest, probably that.

But for this ask specifically, it's a 10.

42 & 68 kell/lila 😘

42. big damn kiss + 68. heroic sacrifice

spoilers for threads of power!

While sailing the seas, Kell struggles to learns the new limitations to his magic. Even though Lila teaches him how to take a punch and use the short swords, a part of him can't help but reach for that wound deep inside where his magic still bleeds.

On a mission for the crown, something goes wrong. Their crew is bleeding, wounded from the marauders - a splinter of some group who believes Rhy's lack of magical talent is an omen for a dark future. Lila might be excellent in a fight, always a whirlwind of fire and blades, but Kell has the experience. He remembers what it's like to hold his brother's injured body in his arms.

Smiling grimly, he reaches over and grabs Lila's face for a brisk kiss. He apologizes before the air around him grows thick with power.

send me two prompts and a ship for a mash-up!

@hprecfest Day 9: A rare pair fic

what we had become (before we ever had begun) by @takearisk-ao3

Ship: Sirius/James/Lily Rating: Explicit Relevant Tags: First Wizarding War, Polyamory, Order!Jilypad, Angst, PWP, Lots of Feelings Warnings: N/A Word Count: 2,966

It didn’t happen all at once. That would be insane.  Though, Lily supposes, it did start to happen long before her. It all started with them, really. Sirius and James. James and Sirius. So much so that by the time James became James and Lily, Sirius was so much of a constant that more often than not they were Sirius, James, and Lily.  But that’s beside the point.

i just realized love, i like a challenge abbreviates to LILAC and i think that’s cute

😁😁

I specifically renamed it for that! I already had ILAC as abbreviation so I knew I just add an L in front so it could spell Lilac because that's more fun. I even changed the line in the fic so it really matched

already gone ~ a playlist inspired by @takearisk-ao3′s fic by the same name

because hannah gifted us with an extra surprise chapter this week, here’s a little gift back to her ♥

[thenicestthingiveseen]

for the ask game 3, 6, & 22!

3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

probably almost doesn’t count (I am always down for a 5+1 prompt) also check out this sick moodboard @displayheartcode made for it

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

confessions should be better planned

technicolour beat series

kindle series

and most recently, the baseball boyfriends series (more baseball fics please in any fandom please)

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

Yes and no. For example, I have bits written for the end of chaos but it’s so open ended right now. I know big things (sort of) concerning Hallie and Gideon and little things about them too, but world building wise I need to make some decisions because I think I’m at the point where it’s going to start to matter and things to need to connect long term. I actually think that’s contributing to my writing/creativity paralysis for that AU.

[thegirlwhowrites642]

Could you recommend us some of your favorite hinny fics? Love your work btw!

Thank you <3

I would tell you to look at my bookmarks on Ao3 but I'll give you some highlights (I'll keep wips out of this because I never know how to feel about recommending unfinished work):

Gone was any trace of you -- I'm pretty sure I've read this something like a billion times, I can quote it word by word

Come stay for the summer -- this is always such a light fun work to re-read, I'm a big fan of muggle hinny, I really have a soft spot for it

Altered -- the obsession I have for this one-shot, this to me is hinny in its purest form

A Weasley reunion -- some hardcore pining from Harry, and fake dating, what do you want more from life?

Time -- Harry realising he wants children, with Ginny. The specific way in which the realisation is written is something I adore

Summer rain -- this is great, what else there is to say really, it's just great

Sacred new beginnings -- I love how this somehow manages to be a retelling of sixth year despite being a muggle AU with young adults hinny

Orchards -- the author definitely has a higher opinion of the "golden trio" than I have but the way she writes dialogues between Harry and Ginny is perfect, she also does a thing I love which is to make Ginny actually funny. It's one of her main personality traits and yet it's forgotten so often, I think it happens due to some sort of unconscious bias about women not being funny (not native English speakers writers are forgiven though because being funny in a foreign language can be quite hard)

After the leaves have fallen -- this talks about what I call Harry and Ginny's never-ending argument and it's written so beautifully

Everything I am is yours -- I just noticed that on ao3 it's signed as the first chapter of two but it definitely can stand on its own and is a very well done muggle retelling of Harry and Ginny's story

take what I took and give it back to you -- a beautifully written soulmates marks au that doesn't really change Harry and Ginny's story but, as one of the comments says, seems to bring up an existing implied element of the canon one

Already here -- because Hannah's stories that I love the most (they are all great though) are wips, I'll put this one in the hopes that one day she'll decide to turn it into a multi-chapter story (@takearisk-ao3 think about it 👀)

The brilliant dance -- this is so fucking funny and entertaining while also being heartwarming. Fucked up but inevitable/obsessed with each other hinny spending their early 20s being a hot mess is my AU drug

Someone else's life -- finished reading this a few days ago, a very well developed brilliant idea

[I already know the second I post this I'll realise I've forgotten some brilliant work]

[brightlybound]

What was your reaction when you found out the Hannahs had a crack ship account together called Dobnny?

1. Surprised

2. Not really surprised

3. Sounds like the type of shit they would do

Loooool. I promise you, it's not them that have created Dobnny.

What if I told you it was me?

(It's not, but that'd be pretty funny.)

[displayheartcode]

just for that i’m never finishing it so you can’t ever leave

This seems fair 😂

[brightlybound]

Me, too, anon!

If it helps, I was doubting between Already Gone and Spring Fever and ended up voting for Spring Fever so you can count my vote towards Already Gone 👀

IT DOESN'T HLEP BECAUSE @corneliaavenue DID THE SAME THING EXCEPT SHE CHANGED HER VOTE TO TPFY SO WE ARE STILL STUCK

[kay-elle-cee]

'Tis the Season for fic recs! I know I posted a bunch this month for the @hprecfest (which you can find here!) but in keeping with tradition (aka I did this last year), I wanted to share 23 fics I loved this year. (This is in no way a comprehensive list, and I'm not reccing fics I rec'd last year—see the end of this post for more details.)

I would love to see YOUR year-end fic recs, so consider yourselves tagged if you see this!

I think this was harder than last year. I've read so many incredible fics this year (over 230 fics from 77 different authors, according to my tracker), but I've cursed myself to sticking with 23 for the ~vibes~. If you want more, just drop a 📖 in my ask box and I'll reply with another title! Happy New Year to you all!
