#Aurore is Kira

[ayasenisan1713]

Circle of Inevitability x Death Note

In short, a modern AU where the characters of Death Note except L are replaced by COI’s cast and Lumian accidentally gets embroiled in the investigation on Kira. (You’ll never guess who Kira is.)

Someone, please stop me.

Bethany's Bizarre Miraculous Halloween Special

Ah, October 15th. The midway point of October, a good time for me to post my Miraculous Halloween Special idea. This is honestly pretty independent from both my Rewrite and Shift Season, because chronologically it takes in late season 3, which I determined to be in Spring 2016, but this takes place in October. So yeah. Not really canon, but fun!

The akuma plot is pretty simple. It's Halloween in Miraculous Paris, but Grandpa Rolland is pissed that an American holiday is invading France. Hawkmoth akumatizes him into the Gargoyle, Ladybug and Chat Noir fight him, you know how it goes. What really matters is the civilian plot, and what everyone is going as:

Marinette, Alya, and Nino are all going together and Chaperoning their little siblings or Manon, in Marinette's case:

Alya is Ladybug while Marinette is Chat Noir. This was Alya's idea.

Nino is Jason Voorhees.

Manon is also Ladybug, while Ella and Etta are both Rena Rouge (one of them is supposedly an illusion, I'm not sure which one,) and Chris is Carapace.

Chloe and Sabrina are also going trick-or-treating going to a secret exclusive Halloween party. Chloe is Zelda while Sabrina is Link.

Adrien somehow convinced Nathalie (who's dressed as a witch,) and Tomoe to let him and Kagami go trick-or-treating together with the Gorilla as a chaperone. Adrien is Shinji Ikari, Kagami is Utena Tenjo, and the Gorilla is EVA Unit-01.

Ivan and Mylene are also going together alongside Ivan's little sister. The three are going as Sulley, Mike, and Boo from Monsters Inc. respectively. (Thanks to msweebyness for the idea, btw!)

Rose and Juleka are going as well, chaperoning Rose's four little goblin brothers (headcanoned characters):

Rose is Ladybug (she couldn't get Juleka to be Chat Noir.)

Juleka is Killer Queen (she couldn't get Rose to be Kira Yoshikage.)

The triplet brothers are the three little pigs, while the fourth youngest brother is the big bad wolf.

Although she's not coming with them, Rose's bratty younger sister (also headcanoned) is also trick-or-treating with her boyfriend, going as Peach and Mario respectively.

Nathmarc are also going, with Nathaniel's first cousins once removed niblings (even more headcanoned characters):

Marc is going as Kyoya Otori and managed to rope Nathaniel into being Tamaki Suoh.

Nath's niece is dressed as a goat, while Nath's nephew is dressed as a chicken.

Not everyone in the class is trick-or-treating, however. Many of them are going to the school's Halloween party:

Max is dressed as Markov, while Markov is dressed as Max.

Kim is a basic sheet ghost while Ondine is a mermaid.

Alix decided to go as the scariest thing she knows: Chloe. Chloe, when she comes to the party because she's done trick-or-treating Sabrina got tired of the secret exclusive party, is not amused.

Principal Damocles is the Owl (Hoo Hoo!), Ms. Mendeleiev is the Bubonic Plague, and Ms. Bustier is inexplicably a succubus.

Most of the students are going to the party after trick-or-treating. Aurore and Mirelle are some of these students. Aurore is Hurricane while Mirelle is Snowflake (both United Heroez.)

Lila unfortunately didn't have time to dress up because she was too busy planning the downfall of her enemies and living multiple lives helping out with all her charities.

As for adults giving away candy on Halloween:

Tom is in a gorilla suit while Sabine is a nurse.

Marlena is out working this Halloween, so Otis is handing out treats dressed as a Leopard.

Andre is giving out large candy bars to the kids that trick-or-treat there. His wife wouldn't let him dress up, though.

Luka (dressed as Josuke Hishagikata,) is handing out candies on the Liberty. Anarka is dressed as Lisa Lisa.

Max's mom is dressed as an astronaut.

Mylene's dad is dressed as the mime from his performance.

Roger's busy with his job, so he left out a bowl of candy that tells you it's your civil duty to take one and only one candy.

The Agreste Mansion isn't giving out candy, unfortunately. Gabriel doesn't like the holiday.

20 questions for fic writers

thanks for the tag, @curator-on-ao3 :)

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 43

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 289,964

3. What fandoms do you write for? Whatever catches my fancy. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has the most fics (8), but my most recent fic was for Black Widow.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Family First- a Coco fic, the first multichap I ever finished, I think. An AU where Victoria stole the guitar when she was a child and she and Elena got stuck in the Land of the Dead.

Sick of Waiting for a Miracle- angsty Encanto! My take of Mirabel growing resentful instead of desperate, and the family falling apart a lot harder. Happy ending though because I am who I am.

Patching Up- post-Incredibles 2 fic of Bob and Helen patching each other up (hence the name). Short fluff I am astonished was my third most kudos-ed fic.

From the Hands of the Weak- Black Widow AU where Alexei and Melina take Natasha and Yelena and run.

Tia Victoria one-shots- Listen. My Coco phase was strong. And I did not have standards yet, so I posted whatever came into my mind. Most of these are about her tragic death. Unfinished, or it would have made "angstiest"

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes! I love responding to comments, especially to follow up on whatever the commenter found interesting.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I had to go back through my AO3 because no matter how much I put my little guys through, I usually like a happy ending. Technically it would be 5 Times Una Talked Chris Into a Breakup and 1 Time She Didn't. But that's part of a series that had a happy ending, so. I am redeemed.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I'll go with The World That Lives In You. I always write with a happy ending in mind, even if I don't finish it, but I picked this one because it ends with a domestic little scene of a traumatized family being cute and well-adjusted together.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not that I have seen.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Nope.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have, not a lot though. I have a little series where I put the Incredibles in the Harry Potter universe. The Incredibles were Aurors and you can't change my mind was a fun time when I was very into Incredibles 2.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Once, allegedly by accident.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I don't think so.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, aside from spitballing ideas with @justreckin.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Don't do this to me.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? When I first started writing and posting fic, I had an enormous DS9 fic all planned out. It was going to span 20+ years, introduce so many OCs, and center around Kira Nerys, my OBSESSION for a long time. I posted maybe 4 chapters. RIP.

16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue and cute little moments.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I get bogged down in details and lose sight of the long game. OR if my intention is to make a little moment stretch, it lasts two sentences. There is no in between.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I will do one or two words at a time, maybe a sentence if I can pull it directly from the source material and I know what it means and the context.

19. First fandom you wrote for? NCIS.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? oof oof oof. Great question. I have plenty that I go back and read just for fun. The one I'm proudest of right now is Discipline, Diligence, and Learning to Fly. My favorites to read are And the Time Eve Collected Human Beings Like Shiny Rocks and Keep Us Connected.

I'm late to the trend so I think everyone has been tagged. Anyone who wants to, and @fiadorable, @justreckin, @sun-lit-roses and @raddocwrites if you'd like! (unless you’ve already done it and don’t want to again 😂)

Upcoming epistolary, The Ides of April on AO3

I was working on chapter 04 today and, when drafting Millicent's letter to Anna, I remembered just how isolated she currently is from the magical community.

This small exchange was a way to expand how the wizarding community feels about Kira and, most importantly, what they're NOT willing to do. Millicent is an excellent conveyer of complicated news that, otherwise, Anna wouldn't have access to.

Unfortunately, Justin Finch-Fletchley is also introduced as a special foil to both Millicent and Anna, for reasons we'll look at in the finished chapter. The poor guy. For now, I'll leave the draft to Millicen't letter.

--

--

Dear Anna, This will be a relatively short letter. I appreciate your thoughts, but there's a more pressing matter we need to discuss. You cannot possibly have failed to hear the latest developments on this murderer of Muggles, this Kira. Opinions differ as to how great of a threat he (or she) really is. Although many at the Ministry remain unconvinced, there are whispers — gradually growing into a ruckus as the weeks go by — that this might pose a significant threat to our communities across the world. Some say this is the work of a rogue, Muggle-hating wizard bent on following Grindelwald’s footsteps by getting rid of the disposable scum in non-magical society, before moving onto more complex plans (such as obliterating the Statute of Secrecy once the path is cleared). Others remain adamant that this is just a Muggle, and thus a Muggle problem it should stay without our interference.  That this individual was singled out in Japan seems to point towards revenge for what the Muggles did during their second world war. Or indeed it’s just a Muggle who found an industrious way of committing mass murder. Merlin knows what their technogy might do in the wrong hands. The Prophet hasn’t been kind; it says anonymous sources revealed a second murderer recently popped into existence. That the Japanese Ministry keeps burying its head in the sand, hoping this will blow off. Who knows, it all might sort itself out; in particular given that their kind seems to be handling the whole thing just fine on their own. Our beloved Minister is tight-lipped about the whole brouhaha to keep diplomatic ties with the Land of the Rising Sun, though it’s obvious to anyone with half a brain that his requests to send missives of Aurors have been denied time and time again. They don’t seem to want to be exposed to scrutiny out of fear to be seen as incompetent, is my guess. By the time this letter reaches you, the borders should be closed to the international wizarding community indefinitely. Whatever you do, keep your head down. I doubt they’ll ask you to leave the country after all the trouble everyone went through to sort out your application, but you should be vigilant. Don’t draw attention to yourself. Whatever happens to the Muggles, it’s on them. Don’t be a hero. I'm not sure what else I can say other than that I wish you well. Finch-Fletchley has been asking about you. Bloke had —”

Anna tore her eyes off the letter for a long moment, staring into the progressively clear blue sky outside. She puffed up her cheeks and then exhaled, slowly, very slowly, blinking as she took in the chilly air of the dawn. Once she felt her thumping heart quieten, she forced herself to return to the letter’s contents.

“— Bloke had the stones to jog up to me at the Ministry lobby and ask directly for your whereabouts, that he still thinks about you. He said a bunch of other things which I won’t bother repeating. Anyhow, I told him to piss off and that was that. Reckoned you should know and take your own conclusions.  Be on your guard. Assume all of your correspondence is now under surveillance. I’ve charmed Percival to become invisible and untraceable for about two weeks, the spell should be broken by the time he arrives at your place. Destroy this letter after you read it, just to be safe. Your friend, Millicent Bulstrode

«Seriamente, Sophie?»

«Cosa?!» chiese esasperata la strega, incredula che Draco avesse già trovato qualcosa di cui lamentarsi in così poco tempo.

«Come cosa?! Lo spettro? Il mezzo Infero? Il Re di Tutti i Panda?!» domandò sarcasticamente il biondo, non curandosi particolarmente di tenere un tono di voce moderato.

«Draco, per favore»

«Ma l’hai visto?»

«Draco, ne abbiamo parlato ore fa! Seriamente, una persona tanto geniale potrebbe anche avere le sembianze di un procione e non avrei nulla da ridire»

«Ma non quello, che me ne frega!»

«E io che ne so?!»

«Potreste abbassare la voce?!» ululò Harry dalla sua stanza, seguito dal grugnito di assenso di Ron.

«Senti, Sophie, so che dimostro uno scarsissimo interesse per la tua vita sentimentale ma, seriamente, l’ultimo almeno non sembrava appena uscito da una bara!»

La rossa a quel punto non stava ascoltando, perché un sorso di tè le era andato di traverso attorno a “sentimentale” e stava tossendo anche l’anima, sbrodolandosi nel processo.

«Sei davvero melodrammatica» borbottò Draco, incrociando le braccia.

Lei lo fulminò con lo sguardo, operazione difficoltosa dato che la tosse le aveva fatto venire le lacrime agli occhi. «Si può sapere che cosa stai dicendo?» sibilò sottovoce, quando finalmente tornò padrona delle proprie corde vocali.

«Ecco, ecco perché odio impicciarmi nella tua vita sentimentale…»

«Allora non farlo?»

«… perché sei così testardamente cieca, e ingenua, senza speranze oserei dire…»

«Sto mandando segnali contraddittori? Perché non te l’ho chiesto!»

«… rifiuti fino allo stremo, quando è così palese ed evidente che…»

«Merlino, sei insopportabile!»

«… te la fai con L!»

I due rimasero a fissarsi a occhi spalancati per quasi un minuto, immobili e oltraggiati.

Il primo a riprendere parola, ovviamente, fu Draco. «Ah io sarei insopportabile?!»

Ooh! Loved the Light and Tom Riddle ask—what would happen if it was Kira Light? (But he doesn’t have the notebook otherwise he’d just kill Tom probably). Say it’s the Light who has the mindset when he’s on the task force, except going with the original AU, he’s at Hogwarts for reasons...does he agree with the Voldemort idea?

Anon is referring to this post.

This post is also extremely relevant.

What I'm getting from this is what if Tom Riddle was friends with a Light who has the mindset of Kira but not the means.

Well, that's the trouble, without the notebook Light doesn't become Kira. We see that in the Yotsuba arc, without the catalyst of the notebook he never adopts the full mindset needed to become what he became. As a memoryless Light, he never understood Kira's ruthlessness and endeavored to catch him as quickly as possible.

Without the notebook, there is no Kira.

But alright, let's say that Light's in Kira mode but he has no notebook.

He thinks the Voldemort idea's not extreme enough, not necessarily targeting the right people, and too... embroiled in humanity I suppose is the term.

Kira was this faceless, voiceless, god who descended from the heavens and wreaked havoc upon mankind. He never asked for offerings or sacrifices, never presented himself to humans at all, and Light let everyone think whatever it was they wanted about him. Light very much wanted Kira to be seen as an inhuman force of nature.

Voldemort is not that.

Voldemort is a very present, very real, and very human dark lord. Oh, Tom can talk about transcending humanity all he likes, he still talks to these people and wears a human face.

More, he panders to them. The very people he wants to destroy, he humors them and leads them to destroying themselves. Sure, their society might be in ruins, but they've learned nothing. So, what good is it?

More, there'd be so much collateral damage of people who, while not necessarily good and certainly flawed, are not evil. Most in the wizarding world, even the pureblood scum who Light loathes as well, are not evil.

They're not committing murder, they're not rapists, and while they might be able to be goaded into such actions for the most part they're ordinary, if detestable, people. Light doesn't have a problem with that.

He thinks that becoming a dark lord, even to ruin these people, is petty and succumbing to delusions of grandeur without accomplishing anything meaningful.

Basically, he tells Tom that he's an idiot.

So, what's Light's brilliant plan then? Well, he doesn't have one. His plan is to become an auror and try to do his best within the realm of the law. But if he had the means he would suggest killing only the worst of the worst and doing so in an untraceable manner. Let these people quake in terror of an unseen, vengeful, god and change society themselves.

They'll do all the work for them, no Voldemort needed, thank you very much.

Tom, of course, thinks this sounds absolutely mental.

HD Smoochfest 2011 recs

Here are some of my favorite fics from HD Smoochfest 2011 fest. Listed in alphabetical order.

***

Be not defeated by the rain by hereticalvision [22k]

Exiled from both Britain and the magical world, Draco Malfoy makes a living by identifying illegal magical artefacts on behalf of the Yakuza in Kyoto.  He's almost put his past behind him when Head Auror Potter shows up in Japan chasing a Celtic relic, and Draco's life is once again thrown into utter turmoil.

Empty Nights by  winterstorrm [4k]

Draco and Harry have had this ‘thing’ for months now. It’s ‘just sex’ though, right?

A Hundred Visions and Revisions by  oflights [11k]

Harry doesn’t really like remembering. As he’s grown older, he’s found that discovering or creating or even making things up are all much less painful than remembering.

In Pieces by @dysonrules [85k]

Harry returns to Hogwarts as the new DADA instructor, only to find his teaching efforts thwarted by a very familiar ghost.

Suffer the Children by oldenuf2nb [32k]

Draco Malfoy has learned via painful experience that the least complicated way to go about things is to not allow himself to care -- about anyone. After all, he'd tried that once without success. But now he finds himself thrust into a situation where maintaining the armour around his heart simply isn't an option.

Teach Me, Life; Guide Me, Love by Kira OHara [79k]

Revelations both painful and joyous set the markers in the path of every life. Thankfully, Draco has spectacular company for the journey.

The War is Over by valinorean [10k]

The war ended years ago, but some people are still living in it.

***

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

[ayasenisan1713]

For the cast, it’d be:

Kira: surprise

Curses: ice cream flavors

MC: Lumian Lee

Raye Penber: Valentine (the official Beyonder)

Naomi Misora: Leah (the official Beyonder)

Matsuda: Ryan (the official Beyonder)

Ryuk: Termiboros

Aurore, Franca, Jenna and Gardner Martin are there, while Amon isn’t (because the mc isn’t strong enough intellectually to beat this boss at the end, and the author to write him correctly).

So, the question is, do we keep the original L or is he played by Albus (the hunter from the Iron and Blood Cross Order)?

[urmckidding]

╰ °✧ that’s MARLENE MCKINNON and SHE seems to look a lot like NANA KOMATSU. according to ministry files, the PUREBLOOD used to attend HOGWARTS and be in GRYFFINDOR. now, they’re TWENTY and is A RADIO BROADCASTER. red wine stains on white linen ; bloody lips pulled into a defiant grin ; plunging into cold water ; the twist of your gut before you make a stupid decision ( still laughing despite the fear ) ; loud and unapologetic laughter echoing out ; a soldier — scared but marching on nonetheless ; a bonfire roaring to life, wood hissing and sparks flying are the best way to describe them. it doesn’t say in their file, but word around the street is that they’re a ORDER MEMBER.

hullo  ,  it’s  ME  ,  bri  (  she/her  ,  23  ,  est  tz  )!!  this  is  my  trash  daughter  ,  marlene  ,  but  don’t  tell  her  i  said  that  because  she  will  bully  me.  any  who  ,  you  can  find  more  about  miss  mckinnon  under  the  cut  including  wanted  connections  (  at  the  way  bottom  so  feel  free  to  skip  the  about  bit  if  it’s  too  long  )!  and  feel  free  to  check  out  her  ABOUT  PAGE  &  PINTEREST.

FULL NAME:  marlene  isadora  mckinnon

AKA:  marlie  ,  len  ,  mckinnon

AGE:  twenty  years  old

BIRTHDAY:  

GENDER  & PRONOUNS:  cis  woman

PRONOUNS:  she/her

SEXUALITY:  biromantic  bisexual 

BLOOD STATUS:  pureblood 

FORMER HOUSE:  gryffindor

OCCUPATION:  radio  host  ,  order  of  the  phoenix  member

marlene’s  radio  show  is  anonymous  and  she  mainly  uses  it  to  shit  talk  the  deatheater  movement  and  share  stories  about  the  order  of  the  phoenix  and  their  allies.  it’s  fairly  similar  to  the  potterwatch  radio  show  that  lee  jordan  runs  during  the  seventh  book.  of  course  ,  since  this  is  marlene  she’ll  also  put  on  some  music  during  the  breaks.       

FACECLAIM:  nana  komatsu 

𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐑

POSITIVE TRAITS:  humorous  ,  protective  ,  spirited  ,  passionate  ,  loyal  ,  courageous  ,  persistent  ,  independent  ,  playful  

NEGATIVE TRAITS:  bullheaded  ,  impulsive  ,  impatient  ,  self  destructive  ,  arrogant  ,  attention  seeking  ,  argumentative    

DEMEANOR:  marlene  can  come  off  one  of  two  ways  :  friendly  and  playful  or  cruel  and  spiteful.  she  is  a  person  set  in  her  ways  ,  that  means  she  probably  has  already  decided  how  she  feels  about  a  person  either  before  or  in  the  first  couple  minutes  of  meeting  them.  to  her  friends  and  family  ,  marlene  is  a  spitfire  with  a  penchant  for  adventure  and  trouble.  she  likes  to  make  her  loved  ones  laugh  and  have  fun  and  is  incredibly  protective  of  them.  however  to  those  she’s  not  so  crazy  about  ,  she’s  a  spitfire  in  a  less  fun  way.  she’s  hard  to  win  over  if  a  person  has  already  felt  her  judgement  but  it’s  possible  ...  maybe  ...  who  knows.      

𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓  (  trigger  warning  :  the  death  of  a family  member -  i  will  tag  the  paragraph  it’s  in.  )

the  mckinnon  brood  resides  in  SCOTLAND  ,  her  father’s  family  having  settled  there  for  quite  some  time  while  her  mother’s  side  has  never  left  japan  —  save  for  her  mother  of  course.  they  are  a  large  crew  even  when  only  counting  marlene’s  immediate  family.  she  has  four  siblings  ,  all  older.  it  had  been  a  contentious  subject  whether  to  send  the  kids  to  hogwarts  or  mahoutokoro  in  japan.  her  father  won  the  fight  eventually  and  the  mckinnons  went  on  to  scatter  themselves  throughout  gryffindor  and  ravenclaw.        

as  a  note  ,  the  mckinnons  have  not  mingled  with  many  of  the  other  zealous  pureblood  families  for  a  long  while  now  having  marked  themselves  as  blood  traitors  generations  ago.  they’re  a  rough  and  tumble  kind  of  group  who  don’t  care  for  haughty  parties  or  the  politics  of  it  all. 

marlene  has  always  been  a  whirlwind  of  spirit  and  trouble.  she  was  infamous  for  the  pranks  she  played  on  the  family’s  tutors  and  her  disappearing  acts  ,  though  her  parents  could  hardly  blame  her  with  the  kind  of  examples  they  set  ;  both  aurors  who  threw  themselves  into  trouble  even  when  the  odds  were  against  them.  marlene  grew  up  hearing  stories  about  their  misadventures  ,  all  tied  up  in  a  nice  little  bow  as  if  her  parents  weren’t  risking  their  lives  as  the  war  worsened.  but  it  was  not  them  that  marlene  wanted  to  be  like.  no  ,  she  completely  adored  and  idolized  her  grandmother.   

KIRA  MCKINNON  was  a  staple  in  the  mckinnon  household  ,  floating  in  and  out  as  if  it  was  her  own  home.  she  doted  on  marlene  as  her  youngest  granddaughter.  she  would  often  steal  her  grandchildren  away  to  different  adventures  in  town  or  the  lands  surrounding  the  mckinnon  manor.  marlene  always  looked  forward  to  her  grandmother’s  visits.  

even  when  marlene  was  whisked  off  to  hogwarts  ,  she  and  her  grandmother  exchanged  letters  —  probably  the  one  thing  that  marlene  would  let  her  friends  tease  her  about  solely  because  she  didn’t  care.  

marlene  was  sorted  into  gryffindor  ,  like  her  father  and  older  brother.  she  made  herself  comfortable  quickly  and  garnered  a  reputation  as  a  fairly  opinionated  and  sharp  witch.  she  liked  the  flashy  spells  and  never  cared  for  the  classes  where  she  was  required  to  sit  still  —  “  what  a  bore.  ”  she  would  often  say  during  history  of  magic  and  potions  classes.  

she  had  grown  up  playing  quidditch  with  her  family  and  tried  out  as  soon  as  she  was  able  to  ,  earning  a  proper  spot  on  the  house  team  in  her  third  year  (  either  beater  or  chaser  ,  whichever  position  works  with  the  other  gryffindor  headcanons!  ).  

most  notoriously  ,  marlene  had  trouble  picking  her  fights  wisely.  she  has  always  been  the  type  of  person  to  act  first  and  think  later  ,  which  during  her  time   at  hogwarts  got  her  into  an  awful  amount  of  trouble  —  fights  on  the  pitch  ,  in  the  corridors  ,  sometimes  even  in  classes.  it  was  difficult  for  her  to  stand  down  when  she  had  a  problem  with  someone  ...  

this  passion  became  more  and  more  focused  around  equality  efforts  for  muggles  and  muggleborns.  that  conversation  was  had  frequently  at  the  mckinnon  house  and  it  was  clear  who  her  family  stood  with  :  the  order.  however  ,  marlene’s  passion  for  it  was  based  in  the  seeds  her  family  planted.  i  think  that  if  the  mckinnons  sided  with  the  death  eaters  ,  marlene  would  have  fought  just  as  passionately  for  that  ...  at  least  until  around  the  time  the  rp  takes  place  because  this  is  when  she  begins  to  form  her  own  opinions. 

FAMILY  MEMBER  DEATH  TRIGGER  WARNING  BEGINS  ...  though  marlene  was  obvious  in  where  she  stood  in  the  war  ,  it  never  became  real  to  her  until  her  seventh  year.  she  had  nursed  a  quiet  fear  for  what  waited  for  her  outside  of  hogwarts’s  walls  until  she  received  news  of  her  grandmother’s  death.  kira  mckinnon  had  garnered  her  own  reputation  throughout  her  career.  she  was  no  one  to  scoff  at  as  a  looming  figure  in  the  efforts  to  catch  war  criminals.  however  when  she  retired  those  she  had  helped  imprison  didn’t  forget  what  she  had  done.  she  had  been  on  the  death  eaters’  hit  list  for  quite  some  time  and  they  finally  crossed  her  off  —  marking  the  beginning  of  the  mckinnon  family’s  demise.  marlene  refused  to  leave  school  and  took  her  grief  out  on  students  who  she  suspected  stood  with  voldemort.  it  nearly  got  her  expelled.  but  her  grandmother’s  death  left  her  with  a  nearly  paralyzing  need  to  fight.  TRIGGER  WARNING  ENDS.    

upon  graduation  ,  marlene  —  seventeen  and  burning  with  purpose  —  signed  up  to  join  the  order.  her  family  welcomed  her  ,  though  her  parents  had  reservations  about  their  youngest  and  most  reckless  joining  up.  they  tried  to  keep  her  off  missions  as  long  as  possible  and  so  marlene  went  elsewhere  to  try  to  help. 

she  began  her  radio  show  ,  title  TBD  ,  when  she  was  nineteen.  it  requires  a  special  tune  in  in  order  to  hear  and  is  riddled  with  passcodes  and  code  names  but  she  mainly  reports  on  news  and  stories  ,  including  her  own  passionate  rhetoric.  she  operates  it  out  of  a  wizarding  network  who  she  hosts  a  show  for  during  some  weekdays  but  at  night  she  uses  the  instruments  to  hold  her  own  show.  of  course  there  is  music  during  breaks  because  marlene  needs  to  jam.  

since  she’s  joined  the  order  she’s  actually  been  included  on  missions  and  meetings.  all  she  can  see  is  the  fight  right  now  ,  but  in  that  reckless  and  young  perspective  where  she  can  only  see  it  ending  well  for  her  and  her  friends.  because  of  that  she  tends  to  act  fearless  and  downright  stupid  ,  glossing  over  her  fears  and  worries  with  humor  and  general  avoidance.  

TLDR;  marlene  is  a  chaotic  dumbass  who  runs  a  secret  radio  show  under  the  guise  of  an  actual  radio  host  for  a  wizarding  network.  she’s  a  dedicated  order  member  who  will  absolutely  throw  herself  in  harm’s  way  because  ...  she’s  a  chaotic  dumbass.     

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

RIDE  OR  DIE’S  —  these  are  the  people  marlene  would  go  to  battle  for.  she  is  a  fiercely  protective  friend  and  would  rather  herself  get  hurt  than  those  she  cares  for.  these  are  also  the  people  she  would  actually  confide  in  too.  she  very  rarely  shares  what’s  going  on  in  her  brain  except  for  when  it  involves  these  people.  on  the  flip  side  ,  if  no  one’s  in  peril  ,  marlene  is  that  friend  who  always  pushes  her  limits  a  little  too  much.  she  wants  everyone  to  enjoy  themselves  but  it  won’t  stop  her  if  they  decide  not  to  partake.  she’s  a  bad  influence  point  blank.      

HOOK UPS  &  FLINGS  —  marlene  is  straight  up  afraid  of  serious  relationships.  she  sees  her  parents  and  their  parents  and  relationships  like  theirs  seem  so  out  of  reach.  i  wouldn’t  say  she’s  a  serial  one  night  stander  but  she  has  definitely  left  some  broken  off  flings  in  her  wake  because  of  this.  any  gender  ,  anyone.

LOVE  INTEREST  —  me:  *says  marlene  is  afraid  of  serious  relationships*  also  me:  *puts  love  interest  under  wanted  connections*  exCUSE  ME  if  i’m  a  sucker  for  a  guarded  person  falling  in  love  oK.  anyway  this  could  really  be  any  dynamic  but  personally  i  am  a  sucker  for  a  past  hook  up  catching  feels  but  marlene  doesn’t  return  the  sentiment  unTIL  LATER  or  enemies  to  friends  to  lovers  or  literally  anything  ,  it  does  not  take  much  to  please  me.  again  ,  open  to  anyone.  

RIVALS  &  ENEMIES  —  marlene  is  an  absolute  rage  machine  and  has  probably  started  fights  with  a  lot  of  people.  with  that  said  ,  her  favorite  people  to  hate  are  death  eaters  or  their  sympathizers.  other  than  that  ,  rivals  or  enemies  could  be  a  former  school/quidditch  competitor  to  someone  who  looked  at  her  funny  once.  

MENTOR  —  hello  i  am  a  sucker  for  the  mentor  -  student  dynamic  and  if  anyone  wants  to  knock  some  sense  into  marlene  ,  please  do  not  hesitate  to  do  it.  she’s  young  and  stupid  and  naive  about  the  war  efforts  ,  she  doesn’t  have  an  accurate  view  of  the  world  ,  a  place  she  thinks  is  neatly  divided  into  black  and  white.  your  character  can  tell  her  she’s  not  all  good  and  she  can  be  a  pain  in  your  character’s  ass!!  a  win  -  win  honestly. 

LITERALLY  ANYTHING  —  i  ,,  Love  to  plot  and  am  so  down  to  brainstorm  new  fun  things  with  y’all!!

Soooooo remember when I said Dark Witch! Kira turns into a panther instead of a cat? lol i changed my mind XDD But I did add some things~!! This kind of effects both of her HP verses, but she uses it more in her dark verse lol

Kira can talk to felines in this verse. It’s similar to Parseltongue In a sense, but is more rooted in the fact that Kira can turn into a cat and as thus understands felines too, since she can turn into one too. She can talk to any type of feline, but only felines (so house cats, wild cats, lions, panthers, tigers oh my! XDD) 

In her normal HP verse, this is mainly useful just because it allows her to talk to her pet cat, Shade. It gives her a friend when most humans don’t like her. It’s a pretty harmless ability, but it lets her be pretty stealthy if she sends Shade to go listen in on some conversations or see something she isn’t supposed to see, and then understand him when he comes back. Of course, she could just snoop around herself as a cat, buuuut she likes talking to Shade XDD 

In her dark verse, it’s a bit more useful and tactical of an ability. Kira can talk—and bribe—any cat in Hogwarts despite who owns them and what house their owner belongs to since cats typically aren’t the most loyal of pets. She just needs to bride them with treats and they’ll pretty much do anything, especially if she uses a truth spell on them lol. Because of this, she literally has eyes all over Hogwarts. Pretty much nothing happens that she isn’t aware of, and if something interesting happens one of her cats will come and tell her. It’s one way she’s remained the queen of Hogwarts—talk about her behind her back and you may end up waking up in the Forbidden Forest, or not at all. 

After graduating Hogwarts, normal (Auror) Kira still uses this ability to snoop around and find stuff out about the dark wizards she’s hunting. In her dark verse, it’s similar as she uses her cats’ eyes to keep watch on everything that’s going on. 

Also, she can and will turn Shade into a panther in her dark verse, but wouldn’t do that to him in her normal verse since it’s a painful process to switch back and forth lol

Monsterleadmehome 2018 Works Masterpost

Well, this is overdue, but I wrote ~200k words in 2018, so here’s a handy masterpost of my my fics!

Dawn of the Rebellion - Rated T. taking place immediately after Midnight, this was my first multi-chapter. Basically my wishlist for IX.

Chariot - Rated E. My first attempt at the smutty one-shot! Title is from a song that had little to do with what actually happens in the fic, but I was drunk when I wrote it so it made sense at the time. Modern AU. Ben and Rey meet at Dr. Anakin Skywalker’s memorial.

Training Day - Rated E. Canonverse. One-shot. Ben and Rey are good at sparring, not so much at sex. But all that is about to change...

Canonverse. Kylo Ren has defected to the Resistance and will only speak to Rey of Jakku, much to General Poe Dameron's chagrin.

Walk This Way - Rated E. 3 chapters. Complete. Modern AU. Rey Johnson is the lone female on a crew of construction workers renovating a building in the NYC neighborhood of SoHo. She hates the way her teammates ogle and catcall women. One day, a handsome passerby catches her eye and she develops a staring problem. Her foreman, Poe Dameron, notices and decides to help her out. Ben Solo works for a publishing company in the heart of SoHo. He's made a comfortable, quiet life for himself.

Every year, the town of Cordel Cove hosts a winter carnival that culminates in a masquerade ball. The presence of one Supreme Leader has been requested.

After one too many drinks, the masked man all in black catches her eye and asks for a dance. But what will happen when the masks come off?

Dramione Fics:

Marked - Rated E. One-shot. A/B/O. Hermione Granger's heat wasn't supposed to start for another two weeks. But that was before the intoxicating scent of an unknown alpha triggered it as they passed in the atrium. Can she make it through the rest of the day before starting her leave? And who is the mysterious alpha who smells like her perfect mate?

A Fantastic Assignment. Rated E. Projected 4 chapters. WIP. Fresh off a win from the passing of Dobby's Law, Hermione Granger is given a new assignment for her job in the Department for the Regulation and Care of Magical Creatures: track down a missing selkie that has been kidnapped from the care of Rolf Scamander. When reports of the selkie being taken to New York City show up, the ministry assigns an Auror to accompany her to the US: Draco Malfoy. Can the two of them work together in order to capture the thief and bring the selkie safely back to Britain?

Stay tuned--I’ve got more Reylo and Dramione planned for 2019!

L aveva capito che cosa volesse fare, ergo il primo detective al mondo l’avrebbe spedita personalmente in carcere. E lei probabilmente lo avrebbe pure ringraziato, da brava sotton- 

«Quelli li mangi?» Sophie batté un paio di volte le palpebre, confusa, poi vide che il detective accennava al pacchetto di biscotti poggiato vicino a lei, sul copriletto damascato. Scosse la testa, rimanendo a osservare L mentre Appellava il sacchetto, senza muoversi dalla soglia della stanza. Soglia che, tra parentesi, occupava quasi interamente in altezza, pur senza raddrizzarsi.

Non che fosse rilevante.

Perché non lo era.

Affatto.

Non sapeva neanche perché avesse notato un dettaglio tanto futile.

Aveva sempre avuto le spalle così larghe o quello specifico magliettone bianco era più ampio degli altri?
