After a very long hiatus, I've updated They Didn't Know We Were Seeds! Here's an excerpt from the latest chapter:

A shrewd look takes him, he rubs his stubble-coated chin and questions, “How long until you find the other Horcrux and can battle with Voldemort?” He purses his lips. “Quite a bit longer than you want to hear I imagine,” he admits at last. The teenager flops back on his bed with a groan. “Severus, what am I to do?”

It can also be read on FF.net.

Thanks!

Fan Fic Tag Game 2020

Thank you @ailec-12 for tagging me! 

Ao3 Name: Lucy_Luna

Fandoms: I was active in the HP, Spider-Verse, and ATLA/LoK fandoms this year.

1. Fic that was the hardest to write/you spent the most time on: The fic I’ve spent the most time on is Long Way From Home, the eighth story in my Severus has a little sister AU series. It’s not really been difficult to write per se, just time-consuming. There’s just been so much I’ve had to write to tell the story.

2. Fic you spent the least time on/easiest to write: I think it’s no surprise the stories I’ve spent the least time on this year are the one-shots I’ve written. Like My Ancestors Behind Me, Names, The Sky is Wrecked and Full of Rotting Clouds. However, I would say my easiest to write has been To Make The Bridge. Once @ailec-12 gave me the idea for it, the story just really came together in no time. It’s essentially all written except for an epilogue I’m still deciding on.

3. Longest fic: The longest fic I have worked on this year is They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds. I haven’t really written a lot for it this year though. I would say the longest story I’ve put the most work into this year is Long Way From Home.

4. Shortest fic: My Ancestors Behind Me. It’s 836 words.

5. Fic you were nervous to post: I really don’t get nervous before posting. However, I think the story I felt most uncertain about before posting was The Prince's Return. I wasn’t sure what kind of audience there would be for it. However, now that I’ve posted, there does seem to be a small amount of intrigued readers, so I’m happy!

6. How do you choose your titles: I really don’t have a set way of doing it. Like, I guess I just try to find something that sort of tells what the story is about. For example, with my Spider-Verse stuff, there’s one story called An Unexpected Visitor. Surprise surprise, during the story someone unexpected visits. Lots of the stories written in that fandom have uncreative titles like that.

7. Fave fic you read: I think I’ll pick a one-shot and a multi-chapter. I discovered and really enjoyed pretend you don't have one by TheTartWitch. It’s an AU nonlinear one-shot about Severus Snape from the start of his time at Hogwarts until I wanna say shortly before Harry becomes a student. My favorite multi-chapter is Salvage by MuffinLace. It’s an atla AU where Zuko ends up on Hakoda’s ship and ends up basically being adopted by him. I absolutely loved and am loving seeing Zuko become his kid and a part of the crew.

8. Fave fic you wrote: That’s hard. I don’t think I could say I have an all-time fav. I liked writing everything, but To Make The Bridge was especially enjoyable. It’s been a really relaxing story to put together actually.

9. Fave comment: This one from @ailec-12:

“AHHH, the feelings of this chapter! Finally, Sirius realises that Severus's odd behaviour is a consequence of the abuse he suffers (suffered) at home. I like that we have the same headcanons regarding how Sirius reacted when arguing with his parents. I think it fits him a lot that he felt better for "earning" his punishments without giving up on doing something to fight them.

Snape had never taken anything from him or James or anyone else lying down. Why would he do the same with his parents? What made them so different? Just because they were supposedly authority figures he let them belittle and hurt him for no good reason? That didn't sound right. Sometimes, even with the professors, Severus would row with them over detentions and lost points.

Ohhh, but this quote. I, too, think that the reason why Severus never backed down from a fight at Hogwarts is to regain some control. Whether it was fighting the Marauders even outnumbered or confronting professors, he was convincing himself he was not a coward, he could start some fights and win them. As always, this is my headcanon, since we hardly have any information about day-to-day affairs in the Marauders' Era. It's so fun to try and guess, though! Especially when you see some of your guesses reflected in a fic.

Also, Sirius realising that he's behaved somewhat similarly to his own parents with Severus and, right away, feeling crushed by guilt is everything I needed to read today. His apology is another big step to improve their relationship further. I love reading character development and I wonder how sixteen-year-old Severus would react to it —whether he would still be willing to accept that apology or would firmly believe it's all a trap.

The scene with the chocolate frog card was adorable and just the cherry on top Sirius's apology needed. It also reminded me I'd sorta forgotten about them in my fic, hahaha. I'll have to introduce them as a tribute to your story!

He'd have to find a way to make the friendship he made with this boy-Snape stick and pull him over to the right side of things when they were the same age.

Yesssss. Now, I can't stop picturing the Marauders (plus Lily) introducing Severus to Remus's parents. So freaking adorable.

And that cliffhanger after all the wonderful feelings!!! I can't wait to keep reading!”

Without it, To Make The Bridge would not exist. And as I said before, it’s been a lot of fun writing it. So this is my fav comment this year :)

10. Fic you want to rewrite/expand on: I won’t, but I guess if there’s any story I’d rewrite ever it’s They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds. It’s a hundred chapters. I think I could definitely go back and combine a lot of chapters and practically halve the length as well as just improve what’s there to be more fleshed out. As for what I could definitely expand on, it’d be my Severus has a little sister AU series. I already have plans for a story after Long Way From Home, but that story has already got me thinking about even more stories for the series. 

11. Share a bit of your WIP or share a story idea that you’re planning: Ah so many choices. I’ve been writing a little bit here and there for all of my WIPs lately. Here’s a little something from what will be the second chapter of The Prince's Return:

“I can’t say I know what happens after this for you, but it seems to me whatever negotiations Jinora and Tenzin have with the spirit world on your behalf will end well and everything will be put right again,” he concluded, smiling in reassurance at the nonplussed boy.

Zuko stepped back and out of his grip. “Nothing ever goes that smoothly for me,” he declared like a threat — or, maybe, a warning.

Iroh showed his palms to the boy. “I don’t know what to say to that,” he said. His grandfather had never seemed that unlucky to him. In fact, Iroh had thought he was always very lucky. Against all odds, he’d changed the world for the better.

12. What was your goal for your fics this year? Did you meet it?: I didn’t have any hard goals really. I wanted to finish a few things, which I did. However, I also started a few things, so, I’m not really writing less. Which is actually okay. That was also something I hoped I would do this year. Write more than I didn’t. 

13. What is your goal for your fics next year?: Finish Long Way From Home, To Make The Bridge, and The Prince's Return.

14. Highlight of your fandom year: The new season of The Umbrella Academy? That was fun and I liked checking out the new fanfics that came out after it too. Also, The Haunting of Bly Manor was fun to binge around Halloween.

15. Highlight of your personal year: I finished a couple of traditionally published books, as well as a cross-stitch and am halfway done with another.

It’s Been a While…

Hello, it’s been a couple of years since I last used Tumblr to post about my fanfic. As of today, I thought I would give this another go. I can’t promise I’ll always be the best at keeping this up-to-date with news, but I will do my best.

Currently, I have three WIPs. They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds, Long Way From Home, and To Make The Bridge. TDKWWS is on hiatus. When I will get back to it, I don’t know really. Maybe after The Bridge is finished in the new year.

As for Long Way From Home, I want to say it’s about about halfway done. As for the latest chapter, I am hopeful I can have it posted either this week or the week after.

The Bridge is my newest story. It is a sequel to Boy-Snape. It was inspired by a very nice comment from @ailec-12, the author of the awesome, House Potter for Children in Need. This story picks up shortly before the summer after the whole adventure Severus, Sirius, and Joan had. It’s summary is:

Sirius persuades Severus to spend a long weekend with the Lupins over the summer. Severus is dubious about how it will go and Sirius's assurances do little to assuage him. In the end, the visit goes better than either of the boys let themselves hope possible.

I currently have the first chapter posted, three more fully written and ready for posting, and a couple of chapters more that are in the draft phase. I will be updating it every two weeks for, hopefully, the next few months at least.

Well, that’s it for now! Hopefully my next updates won’t be so long for far from now.

[itslucyluna]

A new chapter of They Didn't Know We Were Seeds is up! Here's a look at what the chapter will hold:

"This situation is going to need delicate handling." The witch stares at him. Severus does not care for the expression on her countenance. She seems as if she has something to say and it makes him nervous. He tears his eyes away and focuses on Ichabod. The dog is still blissfully rooting around in the long grasses of the field before his and Mum's cottage. He's not yet noticed the turmoil in the air surrounding Severus and Priscilla. "I… might have an idea," mumbles Priscilla. Immediately, Severus's attention returns to the witch. Her lips are parted, tentative and he raises his brows to urge her on. Her eyes skitter away from him and if it were the day instead of the night he is certain he'd see her cheeks are a dusky pink. "The start of one, anyhow." He crosses his arms. "Please, do tell," he demands.

It can also be read on FF.net.

Thank you!

[itslucyluna]

I have posted a new chapter of TDKWWS. Here's a little look at what will happen in this chapter:

She smirks and leans toward him. “So, what do you think of Duffield?” Avery scowls. “I hate her,” he proclaims without hesitation. Priscilla rolls her eyes. “What a surprise.”

It can also be read on FF.net.

Thanks!

[itslucyluna]

Hiya quick question is They Didn't Know We Were Seeds on hiatus?

I guess you could say it is, though, it’s only been like a month since my last update of it. I was just taking a short break from TDKWWS to focus on Summer Skeletons the second mutli-chap installment in my “Family Branches” series (an AU where Severus Snape has a little sister). Now that it’s finished, I do plan to update TDKWWS quite soon. Early to mid next week, in fact.

[itslucyluna]

After the last chapter of They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds, I thought you all might like to have the Scabior family tree to look on for reference. I threw a lot of names around :P

[itslucyluna]

This is the last of these! Here’s how I picture Benjy, Mei, and Scabior in They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds with the minor exception of Scabior’s missing scar.

[itslucyluna]

This is the Malfoy tree, which pretty much made itself since I’ve related them to most of the families I’ve made trees for at some point.

[itslucyluna]

Here’s the Rookwood family tree. I hope you enjoy this little look into Priscilla’s family.

[itslucyluna]

I felt like it’d be fun to post a few of these. This is essentially how I imagine our time-travelers in They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds look like once they’re a little older – with a few exceptions, such as Lily’s eyes being green, Severus’s hair a bit longer, and Priscilla not having that septum piercing.

Poll On My FF.net Page

Hey, if you have time and an opinion, I’d very much appreciate it if you guys could vote in the poll I have on my FF.net page. The poll is about whether I should divide TDKWWS into separate stories by their segments (for example, Branching/Branched would be made into its own fic called They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds: Branching) or keep its current format and let it become the monster-fic I see it becoming in the future.

Here’s a continuation of last week's post. Here we have how I imagine the Montague brothers and Clara look like in TDKWWS.
