#Fave fic series of the week! 💜

[fastcardotmp3]

watcha reading?

here we go! I went a long stretch where I wasn't reading much fic at all but I've been catching up lately (the past week fjdkslj) (I've been tagged in this a couple times I think but I can't recall by who I've just had this draft in progress for a while I'm SORRY :/ )

Anyway, It's About Old Friends by @fragilecapric0rnn - endlessly complex and such a feast of character dynamics and the way they shift and change and grow over time, I cannot recommend this one enough, it's the post-UD When Harry Met Sally AU that you NEED in your life

god has never loved a woman the way I do by @judasofsuburbia - the second part in a wild west au series that is so full and real and unbelievably tender that I simply don't know what to do with myself about it. For both parts (Steddie pt. 1 and Ronance pt. 2) there is so much beautiful rumination on the nature of choice for these people and the simultaneous risk and worthiness of choosing each other like. help me???

and they were roommates by @yournowheregirl - I've only read the first part in this series but I can't wait to dive further into it. Ronance finding that no matter how nervous they were to actually go after each other there is actually so much natural simplicity to touching and feeling and kissing and!!!! joyful PWP for the girls it's what they deserve

never made it to graceland by @cheatghost - beautifully, gorgeously, perpetually ominous first chapter with such perfect Eddie-isms and Munson Family Moments and prose, just the first chapter alone has me feeling deeply fulfilled while still so ready for more. I am a lover of "the world ended but we're still here" and this is already giving me that in DROVES please join me in scratching at the walls about it

I Look to You to See the Truth by @sharpbutsoft the Erica Sinclair coming of age in her freshman year of college-slash- lesbian self discovery story of my DREAMS featuring your favorite idiot4idiot steddie and dearest robin and overall what a delight from start to finish

P.S. if you read and enjoy any of these, spread the love by letting the authors know! the community of fandom thrives when we talk to each other 💜

open tag for anyone who wants to join in on this! say I tagged you and share your newest faves with us, I wanna see 'em!

Hi! Just wanted to say that I binged BMO 3 weeks ago and I’m STILL having withdrawals. Every new levihan fic I start just pales in comparison, your writing has ruined me. Like absolutely nothing can fill this void. It’s become my favorite fanfic of all time, and it’s made me feel emotions I’d never thought I’d feel. Your take on certain tropes is just so, so refreshing. The pacing is perfect and satisfying and it’s everything I could ever want from a story. And the way you depict levi and hange is SO FAITHFUL. Their internal monologues, their banter, their personalities, everything is just so perfect and hilarious and I wanna thank you for giving me the best time ever. I just wanted to ask how you’re doing/how life has been! Also if there are any books/shows/fanfics that you’ve loved and wanna recommend :)

Hi hi hi, I don't think I've seen you before!! 👋🏼

Thank you so much for the message 🥲🥺 I don't know what to say but that I'm both stunned and happy you feel this way. Makes me feel gooey on the inside. I just can't believe that my own writing can resonate so strongly with others, but I'm so grateful that all the toil and heart I poured into it has paid off. 💚💜

The Levihan fandom is small and cosy, but we're so lucky that it's full of quality fics, all kinds of AUs, and the most talented writers and artists. I haven't read many new lh fics in the last year or so but some of my all time faves are:

City Comma State is my fave lh fic that I've been following since it started 😭 waiting for that update. 🥲

Onto Something by @someonestolemyshoes is my fave, plus everything else she writes is 👌🏼🌟🤩 beautiful top tier

Just_quintessentially_me also has some of my fave AU fics!

Encore by @autumndory made my laugh out loud and @dontatmethanks gifted me the sweetest florist/tattoo AU, Budding. 🌼

I think there's a massive levihan fic rec list floating around somewhere on tumblr with the fandom's favourites, if anyone sees it, please share!

Some of my fave books of the past few years are:

Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin (I read this after publishing Paint and Progress and omg I wish I had read it first because this book is goals and inspired me in a million levihanny ways),

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir,

A Little Life by Hanya Yanigihara (I met her this year omg I was starstruck),

and Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series.

I have loads more but don't want to make this a whole book rec essay 😅 My life changed dramatically a few months ago because I got a new job and moved away, so I'm exhausted and making a new life for myself, but I'm enjoying every moment even if it means I have tons of overtime work and zero energy for fanfic writing. I'm excited for the next stage in my editorial career 😊 Thanks so much for asking, I hope life's treating you well. 💜💚

[blackbird-brewster]

Fooled Around (and Fell in Love) - Part 3 is so buzzy to me. For many reasons, but here are some of the main things:

1. This is the longest consecutive amount of time I've spent writing one fic. I'm at around five-ish months?? (Part 1 only took ten days, Part 2 took two weeks)

2. This is already my longest fic by a long shot and it's not even finished being written. Currently I just finished writing CH 23 and in total I'm at around 140k words (my current longest finished fic is 101k)

3. Like I said, I just finished writing CH 23. But I've only published up to CH 14. So at any given time, I have to freaking remember what's been published and what hasn't been. Especially when replying to comments.

I read my partner each chapter as I write them, so then they ALSO have to be careful in the comments 😅

4. This entire instalment was a self indulgent fic mostly written for my partner bc this is their fave series. So to have so many people support it and read each week's updates and leave lovely comments has been so incredible. I'm constantly blown away 😍🥺

5. I did some planning on it today and it's possible I'm only... Halfway done writing it????? Idk, I never know when fics will come to an end, so we'll see. But yeah, this whole fic has been nothing but a delight to write.

I know I've said this 100 times but, honestly, thank you so much to everyone reading this series. I've poured so much time and love into it. (and I'm trying to be proud of myself about it 💜)

jikookiekosmos fave fics of 2021

Hello!~ I wanted to make a list of some of my favorite fics I read in 2021. It’s hard to narrow it down to so few, as I read many wonderful fics over the past year, but I’m going to keep it at 10.

These are in no particular order! Pretty much all of these works are 18+.

Piece of You (series) by @dntaewithluv

Ok this is cheating but I can’t not put the whole POY series on here (blonde pizza boy JK is too powerful and Kenz made him that way). My fave from the series though is Today’s Special Is, but the entire collection is amazing. Every single adventure this couple goes on always leaves me wanting more, and this is definitely one of my favorite series here that I come back to read again and again.

lowkey (series) by @xpeachesncream​​

Yes it’s another series but there are more-so parts than chapters...anyways everything Nikki writes is absolutely astounding and I love all of her work. Reading lowkey was such a fun journey to be on as well since I was around for when each part dropped, so there was also something for me to be excited about each week.

Quietus by @kingsuckjin

When I say I haven’t ever read something quite like this I really mean it. This is definitely a fic that will stick with me for a long time; Quinn is amazing at creating characters and storylines that just captivate you from the start and this is absolutely one of them.

Out of the Blue by @jungkxook

Blue hair JK with a cute fluffy plot and top tier writing, what more can I say? I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this author (which is a lot) but this one has always been my favorite.​

bad attitude by @noteguk​

​My fave part from the bad influence collection, which is all fantastic btw.

Quiet, Baby by @bratkook​

I had a rough time choosing my fave fic by this author since I love everything I’ve read from them, but this is the winner.

Tempted, You Know by @dntaewithluv​

This Taehyung, this Taehyung. That’s all I need to say. Still find myself thinking about this one at random times throughout the week because it’s so cute.

i. harness by @btssmutgalore

Adding a SKZ rec to this because I want to and I can! This is so good and I’d wager it’s my fave Lino fic I’ve read so far (plus the sequel bit is so cute and fluffy ow).

Paradise by @sunshinerainbowsbts​

Yes this is another series one but I couldn’t choose a specific part so just read all of it, it’s all fantastic. I just read this right before 2021 ended too but it made it on my list because I love it that much.

Ungodly Beast by @kingsuckjin

Last, but certainly not least in the slightest, is this fic that was basically my introduction to the fanfic community here on Tumblr.​ Like I mentioned earlier, Quinn writes very impactful stories, and this is probably the one I remember the best (and have re-read the most). It also in a way lead to one of my greatest friendships and I’m thankful for that, too.

Ok so...maybe this turned out to be more of a fave fics/series list - but the good intention was there.

I may start making monthly lists of fics I read and add them to my fic recs blog but we’ll see!

I’m so excited to see what other wonderful stories are out there 💜

[chilly-flame]

1. My fave fic of yours. It’s a toss up between A Dark Ocean and Where Roses Bloom. Your swan queen is just my favorite swan queen. Also not only is where roses bloom a delightful fic but your whole stardust series is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. Not to mention I just have fond memories of reading those stories and that time in cartinelli fandom. (Each Kiss an Inspiration was posted the day after my bday btw). Anyway you’re the best and I’m forever in awe of your talent. 💜

I loved reading this note and am so happy to have received it from you! I remember those magic Cartinelli days - dang, that first season of Agent Carter was so much fun. And the writing that came out of that first season was phenomenal, from you and from so many authors! It's funny too because I really, really loved Steve and Peggy, and maybe because I loved their love I wanted Peggy to continue to have MORE love and then bam, enter Angie. I liked giving Angie a backstory bigger than what the show provided, with a house full of family to go home to during her quest for independence and success. And even more than that, a found family of queer friends and good neighbors who would go to bat for her any day of the week.

No, YOU'RE the best! <3

[neinyasficrecs]

I really love being a beta reader for my fave HG & yandere series! I read it again after luna posted it here on tumblr as usual, cos i love reading it again sjdhdh. As I've said befo, I rly love Joy's characterization, how luna wrote her, and all the characters of this series too! Yn's too kind it hurts. Luna's prose is intriguing and amazing as ever, I laughed at yn having a breakdown bec she couldn't believe Joy would want an alliance with her! 💀😭 I find yn relatable cos i had disassociated before bec of sum personal sht, it's almost laughable but das not the point here-

Joy was so sassy and lovely, and if it weren't for their huge differences, mayhaps they'd still be allies? But I'm so glad u made them break the alliance (i didn't even catch the hint that was at the top of the ch. At first- cos my ass is sick with this stomach flu sowee n im also an idiot 🤠🤓) im glad u made them break it off cos I love the thrill of not knowing what happens next, I almost thought it'll be predictable; Joy and YN would team up, get their revenge on JK- end him, but I'm rly glad u made it unpredictable!

Tho i can't help but think of what ifs, what if yn didn't break off the alliance? Would Joy still be alive? Would JK not find her? I hope yn doesn’t torture herself with guilt tho, if she also think about these what ifs. Also, this line/paragraph, the foreshadowing! "Your intuition screamed at you to abort this plan, but you were forced to remain silent and follow her lead for you didn’t have any better backups to present to her.  You just couldn’t help but feel like you were doing the wrong thing, as if you were heading towards the beginning of the end." my opinion is that YN meeting JK again, marks the beginning of the end. N to think they met at the top of the mountain 👀😉

Jk is like the end for yn. lmao or her sanity 😭 im stoked to see their interactions! Stoked to find out if she'll escape him, or she'll pass away at his hands, if they'll both perish at the hands of someone else by the name of [redacted] SHSHHS i can't wait to read the next chapter frrr! But tysm for writing this chap amidst the pandemic we're facing rn. This truly brought me joy and a good amount of serotonin 👅 pls take care luna dun forget to relax too! I'm rooting for u n i believe in you! We all do! 💜 I'm gonna read the prev. Chaps for the nth time now cos i feel like im forgetting stuff n i just wanna read it to get that same happy feels 😜 I wanna say more but i feel like this review is already too long so im just gonna end it here sjdhdh ily n fighting!

Quarter Quell III

Yandere Jungkook, Hunger Games AU

Warnings: Gore, death, yandere behavior, killing, strong language, literally kids murdering other kids, male on female violence (special trigger warning: in this series there are moments where male tributes will overpower and hurt female tributes.  These scenes can be particularly triggering to women who have suffered abuse from men so please reconsider if you can handle this before reading.) 

Part One, Part Two 

Word Count; 12.7k

Alliances are an important aspect of The Hunger Games, as tributes ensure their survival by having allies watch their back in the arena. Alliances generally break apart near the end of the Games so the members are not forced to kill each other after.

You stared up at Joy, her words still ringing in your ears and bewildering you beyond words. 

She wanted to be….allies?

Hi Mimi!

I hope this is okay to recommend fics to you. Having learned you’re Jin biased I recommend checking out floralseokjin. Her Jin fics are absolute chef’s kiss! My fave is the Crystallised saga. Sexy, angsty, fluffy, and humorous.

Looking forward to the rest of Light of Dead Stars!! The ending of the latest chapter had me like 😔. Things were going so well. Will Seri make appearances in future chapters? If I remember correctly you mentioned side characters will have their own happy ending. I love your explanation about Seri having agency. It was refreshing to read.

Have a great week! 💜

Hi, anon. Yes, you can definitely rec! And I’ve actually had Jordan’s @floralseokjin stories in my to-read list for a long time and I’m so excited to get into them, especially with my growing love for the man. ☺️☺️ will be binge-reading them during my long break, especially the Crystallised saga! 😉

As for TLODS, glad you could understand the part about her agency! Sometimes I just think, this is President Kim Seokjin, an absolute catch, and he liked her, and like any woman, she fell for that charm and given their situation, she took what she could get; that was her decision, too. And yes, we’ll be hearing from Seri and Namjoon in future chapters. I actually love those two 🥹🥹 thanks so much for reading and dropping by! I hope you have a great week, too 💕

[tangledstarlight]

for the fanfic asks: 15, 19, 25 💕

15. something you learned this year

that i can actually finish long multi chapter fics! i've always sorta avoided writing them because i tend to loose steam for the idea, but actually they're not as hard to write as i thought (lets ignore me semi-abandoning the runaway royals au i swear i'm working on it in my head!!)

19. any new fics to start next year

not at the moment but ask me again next week and i'll probably have like 5 new ideas i'm adding to my ever growing list of wips!

25. a fic you read this year you would recommend everyone read

oh my gosh lemme think! (apparently i picked 3 of my faves with the longest titles😌)

i've got gold stars plastered all over my forehead - @nottheleastbrave because it's just so freaking sweet and fills me with all types of joy whenever i think about it !!!

like a cat playing with a ball of twine (that you call my heart) - @pearlcaddy probably cheating to link a series but i'm already cheating anyway so 🤷🏻‍♀️

if i didn't know better (i'd think you were singing to me now) - @ourstarscollided and it's only like. 10% because she wrote it for me. but also because it's a soft juke wedding that we all deserve and i love is so freaking much

thanks for asking!💜

fanfic end of year asks!

[creepweirdo]

hey emily!haha i only knew about the mama awards bc of twitter trends, my favourite boys didn’t perform there. all of them in the car park though? and i heard someone had covid? (not nct) what a mess! its funny, i get ok notes for my untamed gifs, but my new and tiny kpop sideblog gets so few, each single one is a gift. they give me a nice boost! very necessary right now. ships - wangxian ofc!! i also love nielan because lxc does not deserve jgy in his life and nmj deserves all the love.

i’m really boring tbh i mostly like wangxian. i do ship mianmian and yeeting herself out of the narrative!! cooking is a good hobby! and that bbq pork sounds amazing. foodwise i love everything. i like cooking too but i’m a bit lazier in the pandemic because of less friends visiting. curry is my fave, though, i could eat it all the time. todays questions. so show related – what are your favourite 3 songs from the cql soundtrack? what is your current favourite media/shows you’re into? your cc💜

hi classified cultivator!!

omg noooo sad that your faves weren’t there ,,, i THINK i know who your faves are but that only because a video came up in my youtube recommend ahaha a male kpop group covering a blackpink song 👁👁 hmmm 🤔🤔🤔 LMAOOOO the youtube algorithm is really helpful sometimes. but i will pretend that i did not see 🙈 once the reveal happens you can tell me what the group is and tell me what songs to listen to ahaha

OMG NOOO i didn’t know that someone had covid 😳 that’s so messy omg. and OMG one the reveal happens i’m gonna follow your kpop side blog too HAHAH.

YESSSSS NIELAN SUPREMACY!!! you get me ❤️ bahahahah. omg yes mianmian x yeeting herself out of the narrative!! i’ve been thinking about it, i wish there more more LONG mdzs wlw fics :((((((((((((((((((((( (i should probably harder look before i say that tho ahaha)

and oooo curry! and true about cooking less bc no friends visiting 💔 (ah food, i’m hungry now even tho i just had dinner).

oooo cql soundtrack!! the instrumentals right??? (that’s the only soundtrack that i’ve got on my phone) so i’ve only listened to it once and it was while i was reading this really long fic and it actually made me really emotional because i was remembering the parts of the show LMAOO 💀💀 my top three are: wu ji, dream, and xue yang ❤️ (for obvious jgy beef reasons rest in peace TRIGGERS me and i physically can’t listen to it hahaha)

and current media/shows - i’m terrible and i’m still very fixated on the untamed/mdzs at the moment so i haven’t gotten into any new series yet HAHAHA (not emotionally ready yet 😔)

however, i’m in the middle of the first season of this anime called ‘given’ which i really need to continue watching - it’s really cute so far! i’m about 5 episodes in (when i watch it i accidentally fall asleep while waiting for the crunchyroll ads to end LMAO).

i’m also watching the heaven official’s blessing donghua!! however with that, i haven’t watched the latest episode yet bc again, i am terrible 💔

do you have any recommendations?? ❤️ what are you watching/into?

thank you for the questions!! i hope you’re having a good week 😁

— series masterlist & playlist 

pairing: jungkook x reader genre: royalty au, historical au // humour, fluff, angst word count: 6,7k

summary: fresh out of the perils of war, jungkook didn’t think that his task as the newly appointed general would be to look after you.

                                                                      EIGHT.

Dawn arrives without sunlight, carrying along with it the crispness of the air that signals the finality of summer. It’s unusual for you to feel such coldness so early in the year, but that only means that you’re much closer up north than you are in the capital. Your home. The mere thought of residing within the safety of the palace seems foreign and unfamiliar; remembering specific details feels as if you’re looking into someone else’s mind instead of your own.

This was so good! im so stoked for part 2! 😭💜💜 Jk wut a douche sjgddgshf- while namjoon's sweet as ever! I can't wait for their second meeting! Tysm for blessing us with this fic!

Matchmaker (M) - 01 - Sign Up

Matchmaker Masterpost

Word Count: 7,667

Rating: 18+ / Explicit / Mature

Summary: Based on your analysis, Namjoon and Jungkook seem to be quintessential day traders and nightlifers. You can smell the booze on them when they reach your office. How are you supposed to help find Namjoon the perfect match when Jungkook keeps sneering at your state-of-the-art, well-researched system? Then again, there’s nothing that your science can’t fix. Even if Jungkook keeps trying to ruin you.

01: Sign Up

Jungkook slams his shot glass upside down on the bar and lets out a raw, open-mouthed sigh.

“Burns so good!”

Namjoon stares lazily at him from the stool to his right. “I thought you said Jimin, Taehyung, and Hobi would be here.”

“They were, but they found some fun at the last bar.”

Jungkook is still in his getup from the work day, his tie loosened, sleeves rolled up, and jacket folded on his lap. Namjoon is in sweats, having gone straight home after work. In fact, Jungkook had woken him up from the first good sleep he’d had in weeks. The least Jungkook could do was buy him a good drink, but it turned out that even that wasn’t enough of an incentive to stay.

“I think I’m going to go,” Namjoon says, rising from his stool.

“What? You just got here!”

“I wanted a drink, but not if it means I have to watch you do your thing,” Namjoon says dismissively.

“What else do you have to do tonight?” Jungkook asks.

Namjoon sighs. He sits back down.

Jungkook’s eyes roam over the sea of people behind them, all yuppie kids borne of yuppie parents, family wealth and degrees from prestigious universities in tow, searching for the right make and model that will get them through the night. And, if they’re lucky, onto the next leg of the journey.

He is only concerned about the former. “How about her?” he asks, pointing his chin at a voluptuous blonde.

Namjoon, however, is concerned with the latter. “Aren’t you tired of one-night stands?” he asks.

Ghosted Chapter 2

Pairing: Reader / Jungkook, Reader / Taehyung (past relationship, friends to lovers to friends)

Genre:  College!au, fluff, angst, supernatural drama, smut, friends to lovers, emotional trauma, hurt/comfort

Length:  9, 806k words

Warnings:  language, episodes of anxiety, panic attacks, sexual themes in later chapters.

Summary:  Living in a world full of things only you have the ability to see, growing up with Jungkook has been your island amidst the chaos. But when your best friend makes an impossible request, your friendship is fractured, and your sudden decision to cut ties and move abroad changes everything. Three years later, Jungkook is thriving at university as he begins his junior year. He’s a star athlete, member of a popular fraternity, and every girl’s ideal boyfriend. He tells himself that he’s long forgotten you and the friendship he never had a chance to mend – that is, until you show up on campus as a transfer student with new friends in tow. It’s been three years, and everything has changed, but the biggest change is you. Your new found determination to use your abilities to help the ghosts you used to live in fear of, no matter how dangerous it might be, makes Jungkook fear he’ll lose you before he has a chance to fix what he broke. College AU.

Read Chapter 1 

Chapter 2

Gettis University, and the surrounding town, were as full of creepy feelings and shadows as you’d expected. The strong presence of the otherworld could be felt as soon as you got within a couple of miles of the city limits, and the hot spots you’d passed as you drove through town would likely test your abilities in ways they’d not been tested before.

You paused in the great room of the old house where you’d be living for the next two years. It was a Victorian style home and though light, bright and newly renovated, you’d already felt the presence of something that you’d need to run out before you all slept that night.

You turned when you heard Yeontan’s little nails tapping on the floor behind you. You scooped him up and buried your face in his soft, black and tan fur. “Hi baby. Did you have a good walk?”

“He did,” Taehyung said as he walked in. “It’s good that we have an enclosed garden out back, but he loves the park down the street, too.”

“This house is way too big for two people, Tae,” you said, your tone admonishing. “What are we even going to do with all this space?”

“Well, we need space to set up an office for Namjoon and Chloe, plus the paranormal group they’ve been in contact with here will probably be over. We need extra bedrooms for when my parents visit because now that we’re back in the country, they probably will. And it was the only house near campus that also has a guest house for Joon and Chloe to have their own space.”

“Well, I’ll leave it to you to figure out what you want to do with all these rooms,” you said, knowing he probably did have some kind of plan for them. He’d need an office for himself since he often worked late on photography and art projects, and he liked having a home gym. “I’m glad your mom arranged to have it furnished before we got here. We just need to move in our personal things.”

“Yeah, Joon is sorting boxes outside.” Taehyung closed his eyes and rolled his shoulders. “I’m kind of sensing something here. Dark spirit?”

“A weaker one, but yes,” you answered. “We’ll deal with it after we get Joon and Chloe set up, and then we’ll hang talismans.”

Thanks so much for sharing with us, tacky, I always find very interesting to understand how characters and plots and subplots work for every writer. 💜 I'm thrilled it started out of a church pwp idea, you should definitely write it anyways, I'm in! 🤤

I need to say, this tidbit of Modern Love took me back to growing up in a Catholic family. And going to mass every Sunday and sometimes even twice a week, and being part of church activities and volunteering etc. I miss the community bits, and when I read Draco engaging in it, my heart grew soft and warmwarm, for him, singing hymns 💗 bless his heart, really.

I could imagine Draco being a believer, but never a follower, never religious. I believe after the war he would never ever follow anything blindly (only maybe Harry).

Re. Andrews is just so lovely and gah, tacky give him a bit of wet dreams with Draco in form of, I dunno, a spin off? Lol 🤣 my fave ship Re. Andrew/Me (I need to watch the second season of fleabag!!!)

Hah! I'm not religious either, but I do visit churches wherever I go too 😂😂, so I totally get you! I was so excited I got to be in 2 masses in Irish. Oh so intense! So different 😅

I'll check out the series you mentioned, thanks for the rec ✨

And I'll rec one of my favourite fics of all times, featuring a young Father Harry. ❤ (A Multitude of Sins by cryptonym)

(behold the feels)

Tacky, my darling, I have a question about Modern Love. How did you come up with the sexy Vicar? 💜✨🤤 (also I feel like I should open my heart about this, I have the hots for priests and vicars etc, so it was just a blessing to read him, honestly) 💗✨💗

Hello my lovely, thank you so much for this ask, I’m always happy when people mention Modern Love 🥰

Re. Andrew the attractive vicar. I mean, I have known many attractive vicars? I’m not actually sure why he grew legs, as it were. When I first planned that fic, the church was the real focus. I LOVE the idea of Draco going to church - even though I don’t buy him as the religious type at all, I can’t imagine that the Draco that Harry would fall in love with would ever enter into any sort of organised following of a doctrine? But certainly singing hymns with gusto, and eating the posh biscuits, and washing the sherry glasses, and all the little collaborative acts of community felt very right to me.

Oh yes I remember now that initially I was just going to write a small PWP set in a church, with loads of subversive religious stuff, and then I remembered that basically I’d be shit at it and I should write a soft yearny slowburn Muggle world fic instead 🤣

The vicar thing grew out of me wanting there to be a little interlude where Harry realises that everyone (including himself) fancies the vicar. And then Andrew took on a bit more of a form from there. I had NOT seen Fleabag season 2 at that point and he is NOT based on Andrew Scott, but I have since seen it and I do love Andrew Scott in it. However he is a Catholic priest and the vibe is pretty different, especially in the forbidden love type aspect.

I am not religious myself but I love churches, and whenever I go anywhere new I end up poking around in the local church, peering at headstones and taking moody photos of the lychgate or whatever so I basically just wanted to indulge that. 

Finally, for one of my favourite cathedrals (yes I have a ranked tier don’t @ me) in fic, and Draco going to church, please see this beautiful series by @blamebrampton - I’ve linked the first fic here
