In February of 1983, a cataclysmic shift occurred in the wizarding world, plunging it into chaos. Four years later, revelations shake the core of James Potter’s new reality when, on a mission, he discovers another faction of the Order of the Phoenix — and with them, the woman he thought he’d lost forever.

Now the two broken factions of the Order must team up to finish what they once started, while James and Lily work through four years of loss and rediscovery.

Chapter 1: Four Years Later

James blinks and the sounds of the pub—warm laughter, staticky music, the clinking of glasses and plates—flood his senses once more, pulling him from his thoughts as much as the hand squeezing his shoulder. He readjusts his glasses and looks to his right, where Sirius stares at him with hard grey eyes. “It’s your birthday, mate, leave it behind for a night.” Easier said than done, James wants to grumble in return, but he swallows it. He knows the three of them—Sirius, as well as Remus and Peter—all think he puts too much of himself into the Order. How, ever since it’s re-formed, he’s replaced one vice with another. But they’d made a big effort to give him a night free of that, covering and swapping intel missions with some of the others so that tonight they could be with him on his birthday. A celebration of another year older. He instantly wishes the butterbeer in front of him was something stronger, though he still tries to rinse the bitterness from his mouth with its sweetness all the same. “Right, yeah. Can do,” he nods with a forced smile.

Shhhh I'm breaking my rules of not posting a chapter until I'm done writing another because this month has been hell and I need the dopamine of people reading this and yelling at me in the comments.

So, I'm doing a little digging around trying to get some 'basic' info on Mandalore/Mandalorians, and I have... questions.

Did the Children of the Watch not teach their children/foundlings about the other Mandalorians? The ones who don't adhere to the Code? The 'pacifists'?

And also how did Din go his whole adult life without seeing another Mandalorian outside of his tribe?

OK so from my research: The traditionalists separated from the pacifist Mandalorians between 41-39 BBY in what was known as The Great Clan Wars, and then the Traditionalists got exiled to the moon.

20 years later, in 19 BBY, the Siege of Mandalore happened. This is when Bo-Katan led the Death Watch against her sister in a bid for Mandalore (probably not exactly - I'm just paraphrasing). In the same year, the attack on Aq Vetina happened (where Din was rescued as a child), AND Grogu was rescued by Beq.

From what the wiki talks about, Bo was put in charge of Mandalore after the Siege, but it doesn't say anything about them keeping a low profile.

My research says that the Purge of Mandalore didn't even happen until 24 years later in 4 ABY- 5 ABY.

So for at least 15 of those years - give or take -, Din was off flying around in space and he NEVER ran across another Mandalorian from the 'pacifists'? Even when he was running with Ran's crew?

Make it make sense.

the rabbit’s love letter to the dog in the abandoned backyard.

oh, lover. oh, sweet boy. oh, dog chained to the pole outside, pacing back and forth, drawing a line in the dirt, cleaving this backyard apart with the soft pads of your paws and the idle clinking of your claws. the snapping of your teeth is enough to frighten, enough to make blood turn cold. i watch as you bite at your wrists, seeing your attempt at turning this monster within. your talons tear at the rows of your teeth; you do not wish to be such an abhorrent beast. oh, puppy. oh, darling. oh, my beloved stray. the way the moonlight dances across your coat of charcoal black and gray. you turn away from my touch, and growl at the slightest grazing of fingers as soft and plush as winter’s first snow. you think that love is a race, and that you’ve long since been forgotten. you see yourself as the losing dog, a thousand times bitten and never not shy. your canines are always angled, your body always tense. my beautiful wolf, i bear my neck to you, empty and bare and ready for your bite. a mark of territory. a warning. a threat. my trust for you is rooted in my bones. my marrow sings psalms in your honor. my blood pumps in the rhythm of the brush of your paw on my thigh. my heart sings foreign words to my ears that only you have the key in deciphering. whether the bite comes or not, i need not care. i am yours. and you are mine.

It begins the way any good mystery does: with a clue. (a loosely inspired scooby doo au)

Well that was unexpected. Your cheeks were still warm and your lips tingled from Chet’s kiss. You were a little disappointed though, it was just...an okay kiss. You were expecting a little more to be honest. Even from just a simple, no tongue kiss.

Writers, reblog this with the last sentence you wrote from your WIP

For fifteen glorious months, Lily Evans has lived her life Potter-free, only to have him crashing right back into her life on her most important work assignment to date. How very like him.

A gift for the incomparable @thequibblah 💕

Thank you for hosting this minifest, I so enjoyed writing this!

Lily Potter hated being wrong… and she’d been wrong quite a few times in her life.

Idolum by @kay-elle-cee

Monthly mini event returns! LILY EVANS POTTER day is here, and kay_elle_cee is bringing us some trauma to get us started off. Dig into the snippet below and then continue reading Idolum on Ao3! Thanks @kay-elle-cee for getting us started!

Now twenty-one years’ old, Lily had been wrong wrong a handful of times as well. And though she could count the instances on one hand, the effects of each one were life-altering enough to leave their mark and rattle her to her core.

She, of course, had been wrong about her sister’s unconditional love. This was a slow realization, spread across many painful years as Lily found herself more and more entrenched in the wizarding world, much to Petunia’s ire. Rejection after rejection, sharp tongues and hollow words wearing away every last bit of hope. Their parents’ deaths—one after the other—had only worsened the sisters’ relationship, the strained accusations of not doing more, not being there a weight Lily would never be able to shake.

Without their parents’ love to hold them together, it was clear they’d fall apart; this thought was sealed by the harrowing realization that as they both stood and mourned their father, there was not a shred of love for Lily in Petunia’s cold, pale eyes.

For JJ, home was never a place. The Outer Banks was just where he happened to live. Home, always, was P.D.A.

The Pogue Detective Agency.

It was the four of them: wild in the back of the Twinkie, sun-baked on the HMS Pogue, surf under their bellies, drunk and warm on a beach. But always, the four of them.

The whole solving mysteries thing - it started as a way to pass the time, mostly. Pope was too smart to sit around letting that big brain of his go to waste, Kiara needed somewhere to direct her endless energy, and John B never met a challenge he didn’t want to dive immediately headfirst into. JJ was just along for the ride.

Didn’t hurt that John B’s old man fed them all a steady diet of detective stories. Get them hooked young enough -

Well, let’s just say JJ is well acquainted with how addicts think.

It was never meant to be all that serious. But when Big John disappeared, what were they supposed to do? John B wouldn’t let it go, and if they’d let him pursue it alone, he probably would’ve washed up on that shore right next to Scooter.

None of them ever thought they’d actually find it.

I AM INFACT WRITING A FIC ABOUT KELSEY TEACHING TRUDY TO COOK BASED OFF MY PERSONAL HEADCANON THAT TRUDY CAN'T COOK VERY GOOD

[moffie-moff]

Wait so there’s like basically no Applepie smut on AO3 yet what the fuck where are my yuri warriors?????

[smxllalien]

haven’t had time to draw anymore but i wanna talk about my stupid fallout au for peachyville horror

Trudy is a Miss Nanny robot from the vault situated under Peachyville, she is the care taker of three children and the local doctor, Tucker. After the children go missing Trudy starts to malfunction and is sold to the cult situated at the edge of town near an unexploded warhead and is given a human (ish) body

Kelsey is a teacher, born before the war, her brother died in Anchorage and while her family didn’t enter the vault she still managed to survive. She is the oldest person in Peachyville not counting the ghouls who moved in after

Tony is a ghoul claiming to have survived the great war by hiding in a bunker in Anchorage, he was, in fact, born after the war and ghoulified in an abandoned submarine Named the Anchorage. He and Kelsey still slept together. He runs the scrap yard in town and mostly sells stolen items. He has a pet cat who hangs out at the scrap yard

Francis’ parents were scavengers running by their own sets of morals, teaching Francis how to survive but how to also be kind, leaving him with a warped sense of the world and how to treat other people. In his mind, people are friends until they attack, so when Shane started attacking him he decided that Shane deserves to die

I have vague plot stuff written and while i doubt more than like, three people are gonna care uhhh, this is my hyperfixation and I get to choose what to post
