The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.

"Good evening, Mr. Sugar," said, well, said this post. Whose job it was to never forget a face. Not least your most lovely visage.

You must forgive us. We find ourselves in something of a straight-faced frenzy for all things whimsical, symmetrical, deadpan, and meticulously crafted—like, by way of example, Wes Anderson's take on the lesser-known Roald Dahl short story: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. It features a pleasing color palette, an ensemble cast, a parable of spiritual growth, this idiosyncratic director's visual inventiveness, distinctive style (such style), and Benedict Cumberbatch with a delightful mustache. At this point, we would say something like what's not to like? or need we say more? But why would we say this. There is nothing not to like here. There is nothing else that needs to be said. It's Benedict Cumberbatch—with a mustache. 

We relent. If you really remain unconvinced, we will make the case by sewing together all of the above (the palette, the style ((such style)), Cumberbatch, etc.) and present what we consider one of the finest shots ever put to film. Exhibit A.

If that doesn't persuade you, perhaps we can sweeten the deal with this: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator.

Hazbin Hotel/Hogwarts AU

*not long after the Battle at Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic was looking for loving Wizarding families to take in children who lost their parents in the battle, the Ministry feared any of these children being lost in the muggle orphanage system only to emerge again when they are ready for Hogwarts as bitter and angry as Voldemort, all of them found families to love them except for a baby, Adam, he was a beautiful baby boy, but for one reason or another no one wanted to take him, he cried too much many of them said, he would cry even more when some tried to pick him up, Sera watched sadly realizing that he was crying for his mother and father that wouldn’t come back because they fought against great evil, one day after yet another family rejected him, Sera went to pick up Adam ignoring him crying even more and she started to sing to him, Adam slowly stopped crying and he opened his glassy eyes which were a beautiful shade of gold and he smiled at her which melted her heart, she ran to Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt*

Sera: I want to adopt Adam.

Kingsley: Are you certain, you are young and unmarried. A baby is a lot of responsibility.

Sera: I have never been more sure of anything in my life. He needs me and I need him.

*Kingsley saw the protective way Sera held Adam who now fell asleep and the little baby looked so content after many days crying which broke the hearts of the people trying to find him a home*

Kingsley: Now that I you mention it, you should adopt him.

*Sera filled out the adoption form and gave Adam her surname, Kadmon, she smiled at the sleeping baby knowing she made the right choice*

Dunes & Waters, part 17

PART 1 • PREVIOUS PART • NEXT PART

How many ways can someone say I was lonely without saying it?

“I was bored,” Sirius says. “Thought I could teach it tricks,” excuses in the kitchen, before Remus has a chance to stick on the kettle.

“Thought I saw a mouse,” a little later, as they’re both drinking tea, “and he was just there. Free pest control.”

“He’s really a very good conversationalist,” above a couple plates of shawarma, “we bonded over your elbow patches.”

“If you wanted the cat, I won’t begrudge you. Though I don’t know what you’ll do with it when it’s time to go back to England.”

Sirius picks the cat up with great affront, like Remus said he’d throw it out of the window or feed it to a wolf. “It’s coming with me, of course. Ziggy will love the house I have there.”

“Ziggy?”

“Stardust.”

“You named the cat after Bowie?”

Sirius rubs his forehead into the cat’s fur. “And he knows good music, too,” he says lowly into it. Remus shouldn’t be able to hear it.

And as in in addition to. Remus wonders what else has Sirius been telling the cat about him, wants to know beyond a curiosity. It doesn’t matter - shouldn’t matter – but. But.

“Did you sneak out anywhere else?”

“Post office.”

“Sirius…”

“I know, I know,” Merlin, that grin will be Remus’s death, “your Ministry rules. It’s your own fault for not spelling the door shut.”

“Sirius you’re a Curse Breaker. Whatever ward I’d put on it you’d be out of in minutes.”

“What I’m hearing is that you think I’m better than you.”

Remus is an adult with adult responses to irritants, but never has he wanted to roll his eyes at something as much as he does now. He stops himself because: adult. Not teenager. “Of course that’s what you choose to hear.”

He should be furious. Should be worried about his job. Should be writing Kingsley to let him know. The convict had escaped. He’s back now but who knows what he did. Other than getting a cat, that is. Send a team of Aurors.

He does none of that. He eats his shawarma, starved after the change and days of hospital food. It’s so good he feels a bit teary. It should be embarrassing, but it’s such a normal part of his month he doesn’t have the energy to muster to feel shame.

“What happened to your leg?” Sirius asks when he gets up to clean up the table.

It’s a strategy, responding to those kinds of enquiries. He’s used it on Sirius before. It feels wrong now, but what choice does he have? “Fell down a flight of stairs.”

Sirius stands at the kitchen sink. The cat weaves between his legs. They do the dishes by hand, not by magic, and it’s achingly domestic. It’s a reprieve, Sirius demanded, a moment to step away and do something manually, with their hands. Had my best breakthroughs while doing the dishes.

“Remus. That’s obviously a lie.”

It’s the first time. Remus has told his excuses to so, so many people. He’s been “hit by cars”, “fallen off ladders”, had “unfortunate gardening accidents involving shears”. Never once had he been called out. He doesn’t know what to do about it.

“What?”

“You were gone for five days,” and here it is, the argument Remus has been bracing himself for, “and you come back limping. You didn’t fall down the stairs. You’re a wizard. There’s no damage bad enough you could have done to yourself falling down the stairs.”

Of course he’s right, and of course he knows it. Remus stays silent, soapy plate clutched between fingers like a shield.

Sirius sighs. It’s dejected and disappointed. It’s the worst sound Remus has ever heard. “Fine. You won’t tell me. Or you can’t tell me, whichever. Just… is it dangerous, what you’re doing?”

What a question. Sirius asks it with large, open eyes. This is dangerous, Remus wants to say, this here, the way you look at me. Sirius makes him want to tell the truth. Dangerous to whom? He wants to ask. To me? Always. To others? Not as long as I’m in the cell. To you?

“Not to you.” (Stay away from me, stay hidden and locked up and don’t leave the hotel when the moon is full, and it won’t be to you.)

[luddlestons]

Hey! I just read your Callowmoore fic, 'Tight Laced', and holy shit it ticked every box for me. So well written and the art was amazing.

I've been really struggling to find good Callowmoore fics - have you written any others or could you recommend any you've read and enjoyed?

Thanks!

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed my fic!!

The only other callowmoore I’ve written presently is Fool Me Twice, which does also have Kingsley as a third, but is established Fearne/Ash. I do have a couple more drawings of them on this here blog (tagged ‘callowmoore’), some of them linked to my bsky bc of naked giant faun lady, and MORE IMPORTANTLY. I have recs. They are all explicit bc I know what I’m about.

Shiny - Fearne steps on Ashton and a good time is had by all

Sing Me Awake - consensual somno, has a delightful amount of Ashton getting anxious and backing off before actually going for it

Thieves Not Beggars - series of cute hookups set early on in the campaign

O trespass sweetly urged - sneaky business in the middle of the night, Ashton gets the soul sucked outta them

ALSO I found out there was a NEW one I haven’t read yet so idk what it’s about beyond the summary but I’m excited to read it so here’s a link: hotel complaints and grievances raised

Anyone who has more to add, add away!

If you end up reading, tell the authors nice things! Also, I keep extensive bookmarks, ESPECIALLY for critrole, so I’m always happy to share recs!

Come Back - Percy Weasley

Anonymous asked: okay, so i've read your percy weasley fic and you made me fall in love with him and there aren't a lot of fics for him so could i have one with the ‘there's only one bed’ trope and “what are you doing? come back to bed.” where percy and reader have to share a bed, maybe they end up together, please? thanks a lot

Prompt List

Warnings: nothing other than them staying in a creepy hotel

Disclaimer: I don’t own Harry Potter :D gif isn’t mine :)

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Come Back

“I don’t know why you’re complaining, Weasley. It’s your fault we got lost!”

“How is it my fault!?”

“I told you we should have asked for directions! Now we’re in the middle of nowhere in this extremely spooky hotel until tomorrow!”

“It’s not spooky-” Percy started saying before you heard thunder roar through the hallway as you made your way to the last room available in this ungodly place. It gave you the creeps. “That was an unfortunate coincidence, nothing more” he tried to assure you.

You didn’t understand why you had been assigned with Percy Weasley for this trip. He was supposed to be undertaking this project for Kingsley and you had to cover it and report it for your job on the Daily Prophet. But somehow, you got lost and it was the middle of the night and you were in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of a storm. So, it would have to wait until morning.

“Okay, I think this is it” you mumbled, reaching the door of your room and quickly opening it.

“Oh, you have to be bloody kidding me!” Percy complained, walking in.

“What?”

“What? There’s only one bed!”

“So? Don’t be so dramatic, Weasley, it’s just for one night” you chuckled. “Fine, if it bothers you that much, I can stay on the floor-”

“W-what? No, I’ll stay on the floor” he argued.

You knew you weren’t Percy’s favorite person. Even when you were in school. But you had no idea he actually hated you so much as to not be able to share a bed with you for one night.

“Fine, suit yourself” you muttered.

“Would you like to use the shower first?”

“Sure” you sighed, walking over to the bathroom. You were both drenched because of the storm and you couldn’t wait to get into some dry clothes. After you showered and changed you came back out and looked through your bag. “Shit” you muttered.

“What’s wrong?” Percy asked, stopping his way to the bathroom.

“Nothing, I just… forgot to bring another sweater” you explained, stroking your arms with your hands. “Do you think the heater works?”

“Well, for the looks of it, it seems it’s already on so… I’m gonna say no” he informed you.

“Perfect” you said, shaking a little.

“You can have my sweater” he offered.

“Oh, n-no that’s okay, Percy. I’m fine” you smiled, sitting on the bed.

“You’re shaking” he pointed out before he placed his sweater on the other side of the bed. “Honestly, I’m not that cold” he said, walking into the bathroom.

“Um- thanks” you said.

“No problem” he replied before he closed the door.

You grabbed the blue sweater with the ‘P’ on it and brought it to yourself. It smelled like him. You smiled a little, putting it on. This was by far the coziest thing you had ever tried on. But the feeling was short-lived when you heard thunders again. And then, the noise from the room next door. You weren’t exactly sure what it was. But it sounded like people were arguing, loud enough to hear them above the storm outside. And then, things started breaking, mankind you jump, scared. This place made you terrified as soon as you stepped inside, and this definitely didn’t help. You got up and walked over to the chair in the corner, pulling it to place it in front of the door. Not like whoever, or whatever was outside, wouldn’t be able to storm in with magic if they didn’t try, but it made you feel a tiny bit safer.

“Um- P-Percy?” you asked, knocking on the bathroom door.

“Yes?” you heard on the other side of the door.

“Are you almost done?”

“What can you possibly need? You just-” Percy opened the door at the same time a loud thunder roared through the room and the lights flickered off and on just before something else was broken in the room next door.

“Percy! This place is freaking me out! I don’t know if the people next door are fighting or having extremely rough sex, but I think one of them is going to end up dead!”

“Don’t be so dramatic” he rolled his eyes, walking out of the bathroom. “I know it’s not ideal, but we’re only here for one night” he said as you sat on the bed. He turned around and saw you anxiously playing with the sleeves of his sweater. “Look, it’s been a long day” he said, his tone turning soft as he sat next to you. “Let’s just go to sleep and we can get out of here tomorrow early in the morning, okay? I’m sure it will be fine” he said just as something crashed on the wall behind the bed, making you jump closer to Percy.

“O-okay, yeah, let’s just… go to sleep” you nodded, smiling nervously at him. He smiled back at you and got up, taking a pillow and one of the blankets, making your smile drop. “W-wait! What are you doing? Come back to bed!” you begged.

“B-but-”

“Please, Percy! I’ll stay on my side, I promise, it’s just… it’s a bit… comforting knowing that… you’re here” you mumbled, feeling your cheeks burn.

“It… it is?” he asked, feeling his heart beating faster. He wasn’t really someone people came to for comfort. So the fact that you did gave him immense delight.

“Yes” you said, nervously.

“O-okay” he said, getting on one side of the bed.

“Thank you” you smiled at him from your side of the bed.

“Did you put a chair in front of the door?”

“Just go to sleep Weasley” you rolled your eyes.

You kept tossing and turning, completely unable to sleep. Between the thunderstorm outside and all of the noises you heard inside, you were unable to even close your eyes. You turned around to see Percy on the other side who was peacefully sleeping. You assumed growing up with a big family probably made him used to this ruckus and still able to sleep. You slowly moved a little closer to him, reaching out for his hand. You were about to grab his hand when a loud thunder woke him up.

“Merlin’s sake!” he said, as his hand looked for you. “Are you okay?” he asked, pulling you closer.

“I am” you said, pulling him closer.

“Did I wake you?”

“No… I haven’t… been able to sleep” you admitted.

“Why?” he asked, confused.

“I don’t know” you replied. After a moment of silence, you asked. “Percy… why don’t you like me?”

“What?” he asked, confused, pulling away from you so he could see you.

“I was just… wondering…” you shrugged. “I know you asked if someone else could come with you on this assignment” you told him. “And you didn’t even feel comfortable sharing a bed with me and I don’t know, I just wanted to know if I did something or say something that upset you-”

“What? No!” he sighed. “I- I’m sorry if that’s how I made you feel. I just didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable” he said.

“You’ve never made me feel uncomfortable, Percy” you smiled shyly at him.

“Really? That’s… kind of my thing” he said, making you laugh a little.

“Don’t sell yourself short, Weasley” you chuckled.

“I’m not! I mean, you’ve met my brothers, everyone loves them and I’m always sort of… the odd one out” he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

“Well, I’ll admit all of your brothers are fun and… very loud” you laughed, making him smile. “But that doesn’t mean that you’re not special in your own way” you informed him.

“Really? You think I’m special?” he asked, trying to hide his nervousness.

“Well yeah, to me you always stood out. I mean, who do you think I’d notice more? The five loud redheads, or the only quiet one?”

“You n-noticed me?” he asked, as his heart started racing, you could feel it as your hand rested against his chest.

“I’ve always noticed you, Perce” you smiled sweetly at him.

“W-well, for the record, the only reason why I asked that I asked if someone else could cover this assignment with me wasn’t that I don’t like you” he started. “I just… thought it was really boring and I didn’t want you to well… think that I’m more of a nerd than you already probably do” he chuckled nervously.

“Well, I have news for you, Percy” you said, shifting closer to him and you felt his arm wrap around your waist. “I’ve always known you’re a big nerd and it hasn’t made me like you any less” you smiled. Even in the dark, you knew he was blushing.

“I l-like you too” he managed to say out loud. “C-can I kiss you?”

“Weasley, I thought you’d never ask” you smiled before he closed the gap between you and placed his lips softly against yours. You felt him smile against your lips and you started kissing him deeper, until you heard something smashing against the wall, making Percy quickly wrap his arms around you and pull you closer.

“I promise we’re out of here first thing in the morning” he told you, kissing your forehead.

“It wasn’t that bad after all” you smiled, kissing him again before you rested your head on his chest and he kissed the top of your head.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

A/N: so, nobody guessed, but I think it’s fair since I had literally only written for Percy ONCE hahaha but here it is, idk how this happened, I started doing this thing to write at least a sentence for each story and this one just... came out! hope you like it xD and I hope to have more stories up soon! let me know what you think :)

[critter-rarepair-reccs]

We are halfway through another week, my friends, and so we have yet another recc list for you! This week, we have twelve angsty fics! As always, you can find them below the cut and if you check any of them out, I encourage you to leave kudoes and comments to spread the rarepair love 💕

I Have Been A Fool For Lesser Things by A_Orbit (3,149 words, Teen) Pairing: Veth Brenatto/Caleb Widogast (Widobrave) Warnings: None

Trying to get a hotel room for the night leads to Caleb and Nott pretending to be married to each other. Fluff and angst.

Reccer Says: Amazing character voices!

Looking for a feeling that I can't remember by CatcherWrites (2,684 words, Teen) Pairing: Ashton Greymoore/Laudna Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Swearing, General Laudna and Ashton Trauma

Team Issylra are making camp by a river when Ashton and Laudna discuss how slow their hair grows. Angsty conversations ensue and they make a pact to cut each others hair.

Reccer Says: It's not too heavy of a fic but that doesn't take away from the tragic implications.

The Last Safe House in Rexxentrum by Operafloozy (13,266 words, Explicit) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Original Female Character Warnings: Unhappy Ending, Modify Memory, Discussion of Feeblemind

Five years before a group of misfits came together in Trostenwald, Astrid Beck asks a stranger to look into some potentially modified memories.

Reccer Says: It's a juicy and complicated look at how Astrid might have reacted to Bren's escape, from an outsider's point of view.

polishing the apple eris threw to shake the dead leaves down by grayintogreen (3,558 words, Teen) Pairing: Cree Deeproots/Lucien Tavelle Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Minor Character Death

A Locked Tomb fusion fic featuring Necromancer!Cree and Cavalier!Lucien and the horrifying implications of the Lyctor process.

Reccer Says: I enjoyed it!

though the scars remain by amateurwordbender (1,472 words, Teen) Pairing: Astrid Beck/Eadwulf Grieve (Blumenduo) Warnings: Implied/Referenced Torture

Astrid is punished for letting the Mighty Nein escape, and she and Eadwulf talk about it.

Reccer Says: So much juicy Blumentrio angst packed in one short fic! Several of the lines in this have stayed in my head since I first read it.

Victim of Convenience by se1ze (54,243 words, Explicit) Pairing: Kingsley Tealeaf/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidoking) Warnings: Sex While Sick

Essek has been bailing Kingsley out of legal trouble in Rosohna and letting him crash at his towers for some time and the pair have grown close. When Essek falls severely ill, Kingsley with him to look after him. Things escalate between them, which both are pleased about. There's just one complication, in the form of one Caleb Widogast, who Essek has recently begun a relationship with and who Kingsley has been hopelessly pining after for months. Things get messy.

Reccer Says: A wonderful combination of fun dynamics, messy relationship angst, sickfic goodness, and hot sex. Kingsley and Essek are such a good pair, I love their banter. The absolutely disastrous state of King and Caleb's relationship at the start is the fic is so heartaching, with the shadow of past Widomauk hanging over them. And the recently established Shadowgast compliments both of those duos so well!!! I adore the different complications that crop up along the way and the way they're all resolved in the end. Highly recommend! Also, the two previous entries in the series are excellent, though they're just Shadowgast on their own.

His Last Night by Twistmalchik (2,617 words, Explicit) Pairing: Thorn/Vax'ildan Warnings: None

Set during the events of Kith & Kin, Vax's first kiss with Thorn leads to his first time with him. All the while, the shadow of the Shademaster hangs over them.

Reccer Says: I adore Kith & Kin to no end and I loved Vax and Thorn's relationship. This is a fun expansion of what they were able to have together during the events of the book!

Time Will Tell by DEV0URMOUS (25,639 words, Mature) Pairing: Yussa Errenis/Original Male Character Warnings: None

Yussa invites Iskamyr, a long-time friend of his from the Dynasty, on a trip into the Happy Fun Ball with him. Both are oblivious to the other's long-standing feelings for them. Pining ensues.

Reccer Says: There is no fic that demonstrates the absurdity of wizards better than this. Two hundred years!!! These idiots pined over each other for two hundred years!!! Oh my god! It's great, it's so great. They're both 1200 years old (Yussa is a dragon and Iskamyr is consecuted) and they're still terrible at feelings. But also! A lot of it comes down to cultural misunderstandings, like Iska doesn't know until the fic ends that Yussa is a dragon and if he did, maybe he would've caught on to Yussa's affection sooner. But he didn't and it took the two of the forever and honestly I love that for them.

woven of (moon)light by viciousmollymaukery (2,315 words, Teen) Pairing: Mollymauk Tealeaf/Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast (Shadowidomauk) Warnings: References to severe injury

After his wizards Teleport into the middle of the Blooming Grove, nearly dead at the hands of an Aeorian creature, Molly has a lot of feelings about his partners and their mysterious city in the north. Luckily, he has a simple solution in mind.

Reccer Says: It's the perfect balance between sweet and angsty. I love Shadowidomauk so much and it's fun to see someone look at how the wizards Aeor expeditions might look in a world where they're dating Molly too! Also, Moonweaver cleric Molly is too damn perfect, I love it so much.

it's 3 am (I must be lonely) by Meridas (1,024 words, Teen) Pairing: Queerplatonic Mollymauk Tealeaf/Yasha Nydoorin Warnings: None

Yasha has a nightmare while out camping alone. She calls Molly in her panic and he comforts her.

Reccer Says: I love this series so much and this entry in particular has stuck with me since I first read it!! QPP circus kids are kind of everything to me and this is just such a perfect little snippet of them; they’re hurting but they love and take care of each other above anything.

I blame it on my own sick pride by MarsBar2019 (11,918 words, Explicit) Pairing: Fjord/Mollymauk Tealeaf/Caleb Widogast (Widofjolly) Warnings: Non-Consensual Voyeurism

Fjord overheard Molly and Caleb having sex one night and gets off on it. But paper thin inn walls work both ways, Molly and Caleb know Fjord heard them, and they take the opportunity to invite him into their bed.

Reccer Says: It’s very very hot and Fjord’s self-loathing (which is only amplified by him getting off on listening to the two of them) is such a fun complimentary pairing to the overall horniness of the fic.

I'll crawl home to him by BananasofThorns (20,262 words, Teen) Pairing: Queerplatonic Fjord/Caleb Widogast (Widofjord) Warnings: None

AU where Caleb and Fjord met a few years pre-nein. Now Fjord has been taken by the Iron Shepherds, and Caleb has to team up with the "Mighty Five" to have a chance to get him back.

Reccer Says: Looove that Iron Shepherds arc angst. Plus queerplatonic widofjord, and the *devotion,* like Caleb was willing to go in there after him *alone,* aaaaa

Hermione: thanks, Harry. But that won't be necessary. Kingsley said he had relocated them already. I will just go there and reverse the charm. Its a matter of 2 or 3 days. Besides Ron is going with me.

Harry: are you sure?

Ron: mate, I will be there with her. Don't worry.

Harry: alright. Btw where are you staying?

Hermione: Kingsley booked a muggle hotel room for us.

Harry: a single room?

Hermione: yes.

Harry: for both of you?

Ron: yes.

Harry:....

Harry: now it makes sense why you two don't want me to go

Happy birthday! Ask game: 3,8,22,30,36,41

3. Tell me about one of your fics you think is underrated/underappreciated.

Answered this one, but I will say that honestly any of my Lucien fics are underappreciated for virtue of focusing on characters that barely anyone likes. Which is FIIIINE. I've attracted the attention of a dedicated following of Lucien fans... And people willing to appreciate him in the right hands.

8. Who are some of your favourite authors in your fandom?

Aw jeez. Okay, in Hazbin Hotel fandom it's easier because the fandom itself is SO HUGE that I tend to stick to a few authors: magpienear, @birdsaretoddlers @prince-liest @spoondrifts have definitely been my focus, but shoutout to @winekita for writing hilarious fic in BOTH of my fandoms.

In CR fandom, @fruitzbat writes the fics I would write if Kingsley were my blorbo and I was super smart and I'm glad he's here doing the Lord's work in this fandom. @mareastrorum is also out there writing "let's take CR2 and BREAK IT" AU fic and doing fucking amazing at it. @operafloozy writes amazing character work and character studies. @professor-rye is so so great and a fellow friend in the longfic trenches. Um. Honestly, look at my bookmarks and you will probably find a lot of repeat offenders.

22. Do you reply to comments?

Yes, and I will also never shut up if you point out something you found cool. I'm like HERE'S AN ADDITIONAL FIVE HUNDRED WORDS ABOUT WHY I DID THAT.

30. What do you struggle with most when writing?

Description and atmosphere, but mainly because I'm always comparing myself to people who are like... god-tier at it. Like I know my strengths are in character work/voice, but god I ALSO want to be good at invoking peerless imagery. Genuinely all of the writers I linked up there are way better at describing things than I am.

36. What's your fic with the happiest ending?

Honestly... of like the genuinely long fics with an actual conflict that isn't just a simple scene or a fic based on vibes (because I have a lot of happy fics that are just vibes), I'd have to go with shattered stage, because even when Molly, Lucien, and King separate and go back to their own timelines, it ends with them being brought back together to see each other again and that gets my heart so good.

41. Have you ever written a reader insert fic?

No and I never will. Not for me.

FANFIC ASK GAME.

How about:

"Dancing through life Skimming the surface Gliding where turf is smooth Life's more painless For the brainless Why think too hard? When it's so soothing Dancing through life No need to tough it When you can slough it off as I do Nothing matters But knowing nothing matters It's just life So keep dancing through"

Dancing Through Life" from Wicked

Kinda gives off some fun chaotic!Loki vibes for something a bit more lighthearted?

Based on this song:

Be Right Now

Since that day Loki just sauntered into your life, seemingly out of nowhere, everything started to feel brighter somehow. Better. Lighter. He was positively lightening up your life. Turning it from a rather boring, barren grey, into a bright and shining yellow. While the lot of the other Avengers were somewhat pissed at 'babysitting' Thor's younger, mischievous, pain-in-the-ass brother, you were delighted. The chemistry between you and him was snap just there. Never before had you clicked with somebody so quick. It was friendship at first sight. You spent a lot of time together, just hanging out, reading and pranking Thor. Of course, you would go out with him as well, showing Loki some fascinating Midgardian things like shopping centres, cinemas and amusement parks. The god learned to trust you and to open up to you. You and him were the best buddies. A friendship, deeper than the earth's core. You were certain, that this friendship was going to last forever; for eternity...

"You did what?" Loki looked at you quite a bit incredulously, blinking. "You are going to take me where?" You grinned like a Cheshire cat, clapping your hands excitedly. "To Lapland! Well... to Finland. Rovaniemi, to be precisely." Loki was still blinking. His birthday was coming up and you decided to surprise your best friend with a nice holiday. He took you to Oslo, Norway before, so you decided to take him to Finland. "A-Alright and, um, when are we leaving?" You smiled at how overwhelmed he was, taking a quick look at your watch. "Our flight goes in precisely 12 hours, so... Hurry up and pack your things!"

The moment you and his feet landed on Finnish ground, a bright smirk graced the God's lips. "Y/N... We barely left the airport and I am already enchanted by this beautiful city... Where's our hotel?" You shook your head, smiling and lacing your fingers through his. "We are not going to stay at a hotel... I got something better for us. C'mon." Without hesitation, you dragged him to the next taxi stand. The taxi drove you and him through the city, which was almost a sightseeing tour for the both of you. It was great and the snow just made everything even better.

The taxi driver drove the two of you out of the city of Rovaniemi and came to an halt on the outskirts, close to a forest. "There we are. We have to walk the rest of the way." "Walk?" "Yep. Let's go! It's getting cold!" You knew of course exactly, where you had to go; having planned this surprising trip after all.

About fifteen minutes on foot later, you reached some kind of glade, on which quite a few 'hills' stuck out of the snow... Loki's eyes widened. "Are those...?" You grinned, nodding. "Igloos, yep." "By the norns... This is... breathtakingly astonishing." You led him to one of the igloo's, knowing that it would be yours and his home for the next two weeks. "Let's go inside, shall we?" Loki nodded, visibly excited. "Yes, please." You entered the igloo together and looked around in awe. The igloo consisted of two parts. The first part was some kind of little hut with a wooden table, benches and a bathroom, of course. The second part was a round 'room', which was the bedroom. The special thing about the bedroom was, that the ceiling was a glass dome. "Wow..." Loki breathed out, stunned. "This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking me to such a wonderful place." "Well... Happy Birthday, Mischief."

You spent the rest of the day packing out your stuff and getting something to eat. In the evening, when it was already dark and the stars twinkled on the Finnish night sky, alongside polar lights, you and Loki were back in the igloo. Both, you and him had seen polar lights before, in Norway, but they never failed to amaze you. It was beautiful. Soft music was echoing through the small igloo, as you and Loki laid on your separate beds, staring up in the sky through the glass, watching the beauty of nature. Suddenly, Loki jumped up from the bed, soon to be looming over you. "What?" You asked with a giggle. He stretched out his hand towards you. "May I have this dance?" You giggled again, "Seriously?" getting up, "I am dead certain. " and taking his hand. So, you both danced clumsily, freely and without a worry in the world around the igloo, laughing.

At the end of the song, Loki lifted you up and spun you around, causing you to yelp and giggle even more. You felt like flying in this moment. So light-hearted and free. Loki let you down again, but kept you in his arms, close to him. His blue eyes were literally shining, just like the smile on his face. "You're perfect..." He blurted out, a little out of breath. "You're perfect, so we're perfect together, born to be forever, dancing through life." "We are, Lokes, we are..." Just in that magic moment, both, you and Loki knew, that the bond you shared was perhaps more than just a deep friendship. Perhaps, you could call it love.

Dunes & Waters, part 23

PART 1 • PREVIOUS PART • NEXT PART

It’s the only reason he’s able to break the eye contact, the surprise of the sudden new light in a room where all light has to be accounted for.

Wepwawet’s lapis-blue eye glints faintly a few times, then goes back to the brilliant dullness of ancient crystals.

“Did you see that?” Remus asks and the words taste like residue of a spell unbroken. That, above all else, is how he knows he didn’t imagine it. He crosses over to the Box, goes to touch the crystal but Sirius grabs his wrist, keeping him from it.

“Don’t touch it.”

“Right. Of course,” Remus withdraws, a bit embarrassed. He should know better than to touch magical objects he knows to be dangerous when they display new behaviour.

“Can you write down what you said? Phonetically, please.”

Sirius, wand at the ready, reads it out. The language sounds like magic in his smooth voice, but nothing happens.

“Must be my pronunciation. Can you do it again? Just be ready to cast a shield on yourself in case anything happens alright?”

Remus speaks again, words sandpaper-sharp on his tongue, bubbling in his throat. I measure your mouth for you. The crystal gleams, like a moon shining from the inside.

Sirius casts a detection charm at it. Lines of gold and purple cross the air between Remus and the Box. Fold in on themselves, double around the space where, close to the full moon, Remus sometimes feels a second heartbeat.

Sirius casts another charm, and a sound resonates in the spaces between the colours, empty like a brass bell being struck by wood. Like the taste of wolf teeth growing in his mouth.

“That’s strange,” Sirius says and Remus thinks fuck.

“What is?”

“It’s reacting to your voice, more so than to the words. Like it was made to respond to you. Sure you’re not some two thousand years old?” Sirius laughs because it’s a joke, because it should be funny, because he doesn’t know.

Remus tries to play along, like isn’t that bizarre, what a mystery, do you believe in reincarnation?

It falls flat because all he can think is fuck.

There’s one reason for this to happen and one reason only. Sirius’ pronunciation is flawless. But Remus is a dual thing, a thing containing multitudes, and it’s that which the Box found when he spoke aloud in the language it was made for.

He’s going to have to tell Sirius.

Or, no. He’s going to have to tell Kingsley they’re done, they are finished, they found nothing. Send Sirius off to England with a clean record and nothing but a memory of two months spent together in dusty library rooms.

He’s going to have to find a new niche to study or to abandon academia all together, follow his dad to the Highlands maybe.

He’s going to have to…

He’s been quiet for too long.

“Remus?” Sirius asks and its with that frown he gets when he thinks about a puzzle or a crossword or the Box.

“I have to go.”

“What?” Shock is too small a word.

“You know how to get back to the hotel. I’ll see you… later. I’ll be back later.”

“Remus, what in Merlin’s name are you doing? We’re finally getting somewhere.”

“Yes. Good job. You’ve,” and he stops here, midst the panic, because it’s so true and he wants Sirius to know this, “you’ve done a really great job.”

“What the hell do you mean I’ve done a great job? We’re not finished!”

Remus doesn’t respond, steps through the ward back into the library and apparates on the spot.
