#Amortentia: ships

[daddiesdrarryy]

Ron: What are you doing, Harry?

Harry: I’m trying to make Amortentia but I keep getting it wrong! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but it keeps smelling like Malfoy

Ron: …what?

Harry: Yeah! Like hair gel, the kind he always uses. And his cologne, the new one, not the old one he used for the first three years in Hogwarts. And green apples, because it’s his favourite fruit. But it doesn’t matter! Because it’s wrong, it’s not supposed to smell like Malfoy, right?

Ron: Boy, do I have news for you, Harry

[poseidons-getting-milk]

i love when people use the personalized magical objects in fanfiction.

like when amortentia smells just like someone? amazing.

boggart transforms into their partner getting hurt? magnificent.

mirror of erised shows them with whoever they’re in love with? wonderful.

patronus is an animal significant to the other person in the ship? delightful.

their wands are made up of the same materials? the wands they got before they even met each other? soulmates.

and it’s such a deep look into their soul. I live for it

[azyrayringee]

Words cannot describe how much I love the amortentia trope.

The modified version, of course. The one that people smell something/someone in their potion and go like "fuck, I like them."

My mind cannot comprehend how there is so little of it on the internet.

I'm curious (and a big admirer of your ship for them) so I need to know! Now deep Bellatrix and Orion's bond goes?

Its thundering outside when Bellatrix sneaks the door open, the creaking hardly audible. It’s late when she’s back, her Master away and her husband with him. She opts for the only other place she’d like to be than in a desolate manor — not that she’s ever disliked her own company. Tonight is for a warm bed and a roaring fireplace, for thick duvets and the specific type of comfort only one wizard can bring.

He doesn’t stir as she paces along the thick lush carpeted floor, bare feet silent as she approaches. His arm is strewn above him and the other along the inviting space of a perfectly made mattress, the space to his left entirely free for Bellatrix to take. She does so without hesitation, pulling back a duvet filled with phoenix feather, made specifically to be perfectly balanced in temperature come summer or winter. 

The April showers have been unrelenting for the last week and the solace of clean clothes, dry hair and a warm bed after being soaked through to the bone makes her sigh her relief. She moves in close and he hardly shifts or stirs. She takes her favourite place against his shoulder, her pillow pulled in closer against him. She’s burrowed beneath the duvet when she hears him take a long slow, calm inhale, stretching his arm out to wrap around her as he turns his head to kiss where he can — and landing a kiss perfectly on her forehead. 

“My Bella.” He hums groggily and she practically purrs as his fingers scratch gently at her scalp, taking long silken tresses into his fingers and running them through, “…nice surprise.” 

She smiles against his skin, his chest bare and rune marked. She touches the rune in the centre of his chest going down to his stomach. He’s had that the longest, she remembers it from when she was a little child and she’d fall asleep on his lap after dinners as he drank firewhiskey and talked, his deep smooth voice lulling her into blissful sleep every time. Orion Black has always been special to Bellatrix. 

She kisses the one at his collar bone above his heart — the one he trusted her to give him, a mark at his fiftieth birthday for longevity and prosperity of blood. It matches her own at the nape of her neck going down her spine, the very first rune she received from his hands. Now she is littered in them, they flow down her spine, her throat, her arms, her waist and hips and ankles and fingertips. They mark every part of her skin, a map of the stars and the purest of pure blood reflected perfectly in the Black’s one and only warrior princess. He smells divine. She remembers when she first realised exactly what it was he smelt of.

A splash of fresh water, a touch of a cigar taken between teeth, the faintest hint of a soothing rum that reminded her of the feeling of the sun on her skin. The faintest hint of a vivifying peppery bergamot… and the raw sophistication of an amber wood trail. Wild, open spaces; blue sky that covers rocky landscapes, hot under the desert sun. 

“Missed you.” She whispers and though her voice is quiet it’s the easiest thing to tell him. He hums softly, the deep warmth of his voice reverberating through her and calming the torrent of magical storm she’d had surging through her veins all day. Her muscles relax and her bones cease aching, warmth floods her veins as he runs his fingers up her arm as she lays it across him.

It was all wild and entirely something the witch didn’t recognise until months later, until her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, fingers wound in his dark hair. Only when her mouth opened willingly to his mouth, the soles of her soft feet touching the backs of his legs as he covered her body with his own did she realise. . .

“Stay a while this time.” He says lazily, a request and not a demand, he has her, he doesn't want to see her go so soon, “we’ll have breakfast in the morning.” 

She’s fast losing herself to sleep then, but she sighs her contentment as she asks, “just you and I?”

“Mmh,” he agrees quietly, easily soothed by the warmth of her to lull him back to his slumber, “just you and I.” 

Amortentia had smelt like her Uncle.

*[The asterisks next to a fic indicate that I haven't caught up to the latest chapter update]

[euphoric-dramione]

April Dramione fanfic wrap-up *with links*

Amor Vincit Omnia by Twin_Flame_Blues: a cute second-chance healing romance. i’m not usualully very much into these tropes, but i really enjoyed reading this. it was very long, considering that not that much was actually happening, but it was still easy to read and i always wanted to come back to it when i had to put it down.

Rosemary for Remembrance by rubber_soul02: a beatiful healing fic with a found family trope where draco is abit angsty but worthy of redepmtion and hermione is a bit darker because of her trauma that she cannot easily move on from.

Timeless by alexandra_emerson: i liked the idea of this fic, the complexity of time and relationships in that complex time, but the more it went on, the more it just became a bore. it was really repetitive too.

A Season For Setting Fires by mighbewriting: i feel like this fic was the perfect lenght - i didn’t get bored of it and it kept my attention throughout the whole story. i liked the idea very much, the writing was brilliant and the plot really hooked me. i feel like for a wartime fic it was a bit too sappy but i still really enjoyed it. the ending, i feel, was sort of the weakest poitn, otherwise i would’ve given this fic the highest grade.

Soft As It Began by rubber_soul02: i definitely did not read this fic because of the mystery aspect, but i loved that it was actually entertaining and i really wanted to find out what happened to harry. the chemistry between our ship was also really good.

Lumos & Lattes by magicalmolly: i liked this fic and was hooked on from the beginning, but i think it didn’t know what genre it wanted to be: a fluffy coffee shop au, a smutty fic, a healing and redemption fic, a dark murder fic, an angsty fic, a fluffy fic? by the end, i still don’t know. i don’t think the author is entirely sure either.

Love & Other Historical Accidents by PacificRimbaud: i wasn’t impressed by this. found it really dull and boring and repetitive. not that i’m a big fan of regency, but i thought i was a fan of time travel. maybe i’m not?

Break Her by BareWithMeHoney: dark and twisted, ust how i love it, alhtough very much out of character and many of the decisions h and d made really did not make sense. i also feel like thif fic explained more and showed little, but i still really enjoyed it.

Things We Say In The Dark by rubber_soul02: this was such a beautiful academic fic, although i wouldn’t say it was dark acdemia, but it definitely had academic vibes. i loved the characterization of draco and hermione, as well as their interactions and relationship. also, the side pairing of theo and harry hit me hard in the best way possible.

Ten out of Ten by morriganmercy: a fun marriage law smutty fic that i read in one sitting.

On The Nature Of Daylight by ikorous: i ate this fic up in 20 hours because i was obsessed with it. this type of smut and toxic draco was all i ever needed. although i have to admit this fic is not the best written and there are plot holes, but the plot just absolutely doesn’t matter here. this is the type of bad boy x good girl dynamic i’m talking about. the ending though, i have to say, was not very satisfactory, but i also don’t see any other way this could’ve ended.

Things We're All Too Young To Know by eevans: the first half of this fic was absolutely brilliant, but right after draco found out that hermione was preteding to be daphne, it seems like the whole ansgt and chemistry simply evaporated and i was left with nothing. overall, a quite fun fic, although i found the second hafl to be boring.

ONE-SHOTS:

Paris by Twin_Flame_Blues

A Bit of a Mess by slytherindiaries

Amortentia by LadyMidnight87

DNFs:

The Binding by Curly_Kay

Hot for Teacher by MotherofBulls

[wolfstarlibrarian]

Hello! I've been loving your tiktoks and I have a somewhat selfish question. I'm wondering if you have posts with links of the fics you've recommended on tiktok? Specifically I'm thinking of a video where you were recommending fics for someone just getting into wolfstar. And while that's not me, lol, I was horrified how many I hadn't read! But didn't have it in me right then to go and find them and mark them all for later. Feel free to tell me that some ao3 searching is good for me ;)

Hello and thank you for supporting me on two channels?! 🥹 And yes, I'll link the fics here for you as well as a list of more fics to get people introduced to Wolfstar as a ship.

And thanks for the feedback! If I grab fics from a list to post on TikTok, I'll start commenting with the link so you can find them easily. Hope that helps and thanks for sending an ask!

New To Wolfstar Fics

Fics to share with people to get them on board this ship!

Incredible Things orphaned account When Lily Evans agrees to go on a date with James, he panics and seeks comfort from his favourite werewolf who is pining away for his own, secret crush. One thing leads to another, and they discover a few things about themselves.

Nox by bliiinding

The Marauders are starting their fifth year at Hogwarts; Remus is starting with a massive scar across his face - a byproduct of the increasing severity of his furry little problem, which is a definite cause for concern despite his insistence that it it’s fine.

If I May Just Take Your Breath Away by @lovingremus "Sirius making it to the team had brought an unpredicted guest to the stands surrounding the pitch. Remus Lupin’s sudden interest in their Quidditch practices after years of refusing to attend even the matches was odd enough, and at first, Sirius didn’t understand why James was complaining – he was more than happy to have Remus there, to keep him company and for him to stare at."

copycats by @kangandkodos

Sirius is a trend setter. Sirius is a trend setter that doesn’t seem to notice it, or care, or make any comment towards the fact that he wore his hair in a ponytail last week and now half the school have styled their hair in exactly the same way. Remus cares.

I Wouldn't Mind by @omg-someone-actually Your typical Hogwarts get-together including but not limited to: vicious full moon, teenage shenanigans and drama, excessive swearing, one (1) oblivious idiot in love, one (1) not-so-oblivious-but-still-an-idiot in love and some good old pining.

Wet Dog by @lying-like-breathing Sirius is tired of Remus saying he smells like a wet dog, so he bathes himself in amortentia to cover it up. It doesn’t work quite as well as he expected it to…

Share this with your own recs!

MARAUDERS MLM FIC RECOMMENDATION

I have read more than 300 marauders fics and I’ve curated this list of all my favorites; I will add at the end the famous ones I’ve read as well but I am prioritizing the ones that I haven’t heard about as much that I think deserve just as much recognition.

For moonseeker/water, there’s another list on my account that I have pinned for those interested.

I will make a separate wlw/sapphic post

A brief history of dragons by Eyra [Wolfstar](23k words, finished) AU non magical, cottage. James and Sirius work in a James’ parents cafe together and Remus is there everyday writing a book about dragons and they’re so cute and so in love and I absolutely love it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/24114526/chapters/58052638

The art of getting by by Sarewolf [wolfstar] (40k words, finished) Remus and Sirius raise Harry together. Heartbreaking in the best way <3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/27300139/chapters/66700582

Beneath a big blue sky by Eyra [wolfstar with a lovely side Jily](68k words,finished) AU farm, Sirius and James are city boys that end up in a Yorkshire farm by “mistake” where they spend the summer. Lily and Remus are farmers. It’s funny, clever and touching; also we see Remus’ rs with his parents and it’s so lovely. https://archiveofourown.org/works/31046156/chapters/76694012

A string of consequences by semistrawberry [jegulily] (164k words, finished) AU no Voldemort. My favorite poly fic of them by far. We see each of their relationship grow and evolve in such a unique way, I’d do anything to be able to read it for the first time. It all stars with amortentia :) I can’t stress this enough this fic is a masterpiece https://archiveofourown.org/works/35878465/chapters/89461336 (it is quite well known but I wanted to say more about it so I didn’t put it with the famous ones)

A full guide of gardening for amateurs by Aphrsditea [jegulus] (75k words, finished) AU modern setting. This is one of my favorite fics of all time, all fandoms included. It’s beautifully written, so touching and inspiring. James is bipolar and Regulus suffers from ptsd. I don’t even know how to explain this fic because there is simply too much to say but I would recommend it even to those who don’t like this ship as much because it’s worth it. It deserves to be a book to be honest. https://archiveofourown.org/works/40365099/chapters/101111832

Mastermind (love made me crazy) by Miriammt [jegulus] (331k words, finished) Regulus is consumed by bitterness and pain after his brother Sirius ran away from home, and he blames James Potter for taking him away.

A for amortentia by angelcakes12332 [jegulus] (10k words, finished) When brewing Amortentia in Slughorn’s class, all James wants is a passing grade.Smelling his best friends brother in the potion? Well, James always has been over ambitious. https://archiveofourown.org/works/44310625/chapters/111435358

If I get out of bed (you'll see me standing all alone) by bartylusisms [bartylus] (32k one shot) Coraline (2009) but make it Bartylus: Regulus as Coraline, Barty as Wybie, Sirius as Padfoot (the cat), and Pandora, Dorcas and Evan as the nosey neighbors. https://archiveofourown.org/works/42764214

If i could give you the moon by malecstsc [wolfstar, side jegulus] (95k words,finished) HELP such a great fic :((( i love it so so much. Remus is a slytherin (bless) and regs best friend (moonseeker on top) sirius and him “hate” each other and are constantly snarky with the other, but they end up fake dating in a poor attempt to get closer, and its just so fluffy and angsty (light angst to be honest, but still the slow burn) https://archiveofourown.org/works/51521812/chapters/130214497

Please please please (let me get what I want this time) by nicodiangelol [moonchaser] (19k one shot) AU college, where Remus is a nerdy punk who needs to start cricket as an extracurricular activity to not fail the year and James is the captain, they knew each other from middle school. Genuinely had so much fun with it, grumpy x sunshine in all its glory, definitely a great fic. https://archiveofourown.org/works/56928679

Crowns & Coffee Cups series by Eyra [moonchaser] (9k words total for three works) AU non magical. Remus is chronically ill and James takes care of him, and it’s just so tender and soft and simple but beautifully written. So good so catching, I felt the loving and the feeling of being loved, precious. Also James is a terrible husband to Lily they got married after a one night stand so tw for that Lily deserves better https://archiveofourown.org/series/2204058

Don’t call me kid (don’t call me baby) by sxsooo_0 [moonrose, jegulus, party] ( 17k words, unfinished) set in the 80s, we get a pov of each character to understand how they come to be in Italy. It’s so beautifully written and the plot is so interesting; but the writer put it under a finished fic, although the 5 chapters we have are all the introduction to the beginning of the summer, so I am trying to swallow my disappointment, I was so so immersed and enthralled by it, and now I feel achingly lonesome without the continuity of what felt like a great piece of fiction. (No hate to the writer for putting it under finished they probably didn’t do it on purpose) SO SO GOOD AND I NEED MORE https://archiveofourown.org/works/57682639/chapters/146791582

All the king’s men series by intronevermind [bartylus+ side jily, wolfstar, and a tiny bit of marylene] (384k words total for 3 works) based on the foxhole court, I haven’t read the original work but I didn’t need to as the writer explained everything perfectly. It’s so so good, dark and gloomy, violent and beautiful. One of my fav bartylus. Regulus Beaumont is the newest addition to the Godric Gryffindor University Exy team. He’s short, he’s fast, he’s got a ton of potential– and he’s the runaway son of the murderous crime lord known as The Butcher. Signing a contract with the high profile team the Gryffindor Lions is the last thing Regulus should do. His lies will hold up only so long under this kind of scrutiny and the truth will get him killed. But Regulus is tired, and he quickly discovers he isn’t the only one on the team with secrets. Regulus has survived the last eight years by running, but maybe he’s finally found someone and something worth fighting for. https://archiveofourown.org/series/3915340

+ my own fic for anyone interested:

48 hours too long by moonycriesdies [jegulus] (14k words) Receiving a letter saying he had 48 hours to live was the best news of Regulus’ life.

He was done the moment he was born, choking on the umbilical cord, hoping to asphyxiate; sadly, the doctors were competent. And they insisted on keeping him alive from that point on.

Mainly black brother angst and jegulus fluff.

Have fun reading !! I’d love to hear your feedback :)

love potions [hp]

anyone else think love potions should be banned?

using a love potion on someone is, in short, controlling their minds and desires and using them for romantic or even sexual purposes without their consent. so r@pe, basically.

this is literally how voldemort was born. merope gaunt kidnapped tom riddle senior and had a child with him entirely without his consent.

in present context (hp timeline) we see love potions being handled by literal teenagers- being sold in weasleys' wizard wheezes, disguised as perfumes and being shipped into hogwarts secretly.

there is a whole cauldron full of amortentia down in the dungeons, in a SCHOOL.

the whole "love", whimsical, fantastical part of these distract you from what they really are- mind-controllers. not unlike the imperius curse- and THAT'S banned and unforgivable.

notice how even harry unknowingly uses the two interchangeably- what are two ways to control someone to do what you like? the imperius curse... or a love potion.

how is shit like this not banned by the ministry?

[ecklekecle]

Can we talk about the lack of Rosekiller fics out there... with that thought in mind if anyone has any recs lmk pls i beg In return I also have fic recs <3 (well my favourite rosekiller fics (and other fics) lol) I'll be honest tho, a lot of these are actually fairly popular but I still hugely recommend them nonetheless :) Rosekiller I'm Not Gonna Teach Him How to Dance with You by greensenne “You’d be my best man wouldn’t you, Evs?

There’s an ugly pain burning low in his chest as he says, “Of course. What are friends for?”

—

Or, Barty's father forces him into an arranged marriage, and Evan is to be his best man. Which would be fine if Evan weren't head over heels in love with him. Intermission by bizarrestars Evan and Barty have no plans to fall in love.

Life rarely goes as planned, though, does it?

Straight A's by stargirly161 "Their grades had been acting like a sick game of tug-of-war, alternating like the phases of the moon, waxing in one of their favours before waning and swapping power to the other. Switching between first and second place like neither of them could find their footing on the podiums."

Or, Evan Rosier and Barty Crouch Jr start their last year of sixth form determined to each be top of their class. Tests, bets and group projects force them to reconsider their fierce academic rivalry and maybe, possibly, discover that there's a thin line between love and hate. Tender Curiosities Baby by otrtbs A glimpse into the exploits of Evan Rosier and Barty Crouch Jr. as they go through this thing called life (with all its ups and downs), together.

An extension of the Art Heist, Baby! universe.

Other Ships (There's probably background Rosekiller in these tbh, I can't remember)

A String of Consequences by semistrawberry The brewing of amortentia in Regulus' potions class, creates a chain reaction few people expected.

Art Heist Baby by otrtbs When James Potter answers a mysterious ad in his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects is to be thrown into a world of white collar crime, but how can he resist when the mastermind behind the operation has dark hair and brooding eyes and promises wealth beyond James' wildest imagination? He would do anything for that boy named after a star, including stealing millions of dollars of fine art. Pink Lemonade by moonysbookshelf If you had told James Potter 2 weeks ago that he would be touring with Regulus Black, he would’ve admitted you to a mental hospital and then driven himself off a bridge. If you had told Regulus Black the same thing, he would’ve slapped you across the face.

But here they were.

// After not seeing each other for 4 years, James and Regulus are forced to tour Europe together for The Marauders' Insidious Tour.

Kill Your Darlings by MesserMoon Kill Your Darlings: To remove or refrain from using something in spite of one's affection for it

Years after Regulus loses his brother they're reunited, and as he struggles to figure out where he fits in Sirius's life he also struggles not to get lost in the impossible feelings he has for Sirius's best friend.

Delicate by The IdeaOfSarcasm “Lils?” “Yeah, one second” The line keeps ringing for another long moment before the third voice joins, “What's wrong?” Lily can’t help but huff a laugh. “Hello to you too Marlene” “Hey Marls.” Mary echos. “Yeah, hi, what’s wrong?” Marls insists. “It’s…well it’s good news” The line stays quiet but Lily can feel it. They know. “I wrote a song.” “Fuck yes bitch.” Marlene hollers. “Thank god.” Mary groans “Are we going back? Did you speak to the label?” Trust Mary to be itching to get back in the studio. “I did, I also… I pulled a favour.” the line goes quiet again. “From Jaime?” Marls asks hesitantly. James Potter. Long term friend of them all and a very touchy subject recently. “No.” Lily hesitates again. “From Regulus Black.”

Até você aparecer by withtheoldstars James was an underground illegal boxer and Regulus simply wanted to go through university without any problems.

When their paths unexpectedly collided, Regulus felt that his life would never be the same again. (I hope everyone enjoys these! turns out i actually have quite a few favourite fics but i just didn't want the list to get too long (and most of the fics i read are mostly popular so.. idk, its hard to recommend things that majority of people have already read lol) anywho live love laugh rosekiller (and everyone else <33) )(I'm sure I ahve other recs too just cant remember atm lol)
