cw: discussion of non-con fics and fandom.

sorry to go on about this, but i'm SO annoyed by the lack of education around sa survivors and mental health issues.

yeah, non-con fics usually stem from survivors themselves as well as people who struggle with mental health!! shocking, i know!! how other people cope with their trauma, if it genuinely does not directly harm anyone else, does not concern you.

i was sexually assaulted. and the way i coped with it afterwards is one of my deepest regrets. i was putting myself in dangerous situations, and went through similar experiences again.

i wish that i'd, instead, channelled that through fiction. WORDS. that did not harm myself.

as a fallout of my experience, i read a bit of non-con. (it wasn't my thing, but that's besides the point.) i've known of friends and mutuals who read it, because there is POWER in it.

you can stop reading at any time. your mind can change the outcomes any time. that cannot be said for REAL LIFE SITUATIONS.

it is NOT fair for you to accuse or judge other survivors based on your own opinions on what's 'right' and 'wrong'. it's not fair in the slightest.

do you think you're better, because you use different outlets for your trauma? do you think that allows you to call victims a multitude of names, because your coping mechanisms are better?

i, genuinely, think that writing and reading is one of the only safe places for trauma and exploration. i truly do. if it's not your thing, block.

block tags. block blogs. delete your socials, for gods sake.

but it is never an excuse to attack other people who are doing their best with the shitty situations they've got.

Previous part First part

Regulus woke the next morning curled up in James’s arms. He hadn’t slept so well in months. He sighed contentedly and nuzzled his face further into James’s side. James’s arms tightened around him as he blinked blearily down at Regulus as he woke up.

“Morning,” James murmured into Regulus’s hair as he gently kissed him. Regulus grinned dopily back at him. 

“Morning,” 

The bedroom door banged open, and a huge black dog bounded in and launched itself onto the bed, landing heavily on James and Regulus. 

“Sirius! Leave them be!” Remus came into view. “Sorry,” He panted. “He got a bit over-excited.”

“Sirius, I swear to Salazar that if you don’t get off me, I’ll let Pandora loose on your hair. She’ll use you like her new doll. I’m sure I heard her talking about pink and purple colouring.” The dog rolled off the bed and onto the floor. Sirius stood up, looking at his brother in horror, grasping his prized locks in his hands. 

“You wouldn’t dare!” He growled. Regulus sneered at his brother. 

“Watch me. PAN—” He didn’t get to finish yelling for Pandora as Sirius stuck one of his hands over his mouth. Regulus immediately licked his hand. 

“EWW Reg!” Sirius wiped the drool off on his robes. They were just about to start bickering when Regulus inhaled sharply. Sirius’s face dropped in worry as he grabbed his brother’s arm and twisted it so the dark mark was face up. The snake and skull were writhing on his forearm. He’d been summoned.

He jumped out of bed and barged his way into Evan’s room. He should have knocked. His arm flew up in front of his eyes, and he turned away as Barty dragged the duvet over himself and Evan. 

“Shit—sorry,” He shook his head. “Erm, I just got summoned. Did either of you?” 

“Nope.” They both said. 

“Okay, er. I need to go. I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He hurried out of the room, slamming the door after himself. His face must have been a picture as the other three burst into fits of laughter. He rolled his eyes at them. 

“I have to go. I’m expected at Lestrange Castle.” They stopped laughing. 

“Be careful, Reg.” Sirius stepped forward and hugged him. Regulus’s eyes widened, but he still hugged him back. 

“We’ll wait for you here,” James said as Regulus kissed his lips.

“Don’t die,” Remus smirked. 

“I don’t know what you’re on about Lupin. You’re coming with me.” 

“Fuck sake!” Remus grunted. He was not happy, and neither was Sirius. Regulus explained himself before his brother could get himself worked up. 

“If I don’t take him, they’ll wonder where he is, and they might send someone to look for him. They won’t find him at Grimmauld, and the first place they’ll come after that is here, and we can’t afford for anyone to come here poking around. I don’t know how long they want me for. It’s safer for everyone if he comes.” 

Remus kissed Sirius sweetly.

“We hopefully won’t be long. I’ll see you soon.” 

Remus followed Regulus out of Rosier House and side-alonged to Lestrange House. 

Regulus’s cousin greeted him. 

“Regulus, you arrived swiftly. We’re just finishing up a private meeting, and then the Dark Lord wishes to see you.” Bellatrix gushed at him. “Come in, come in and make yourself at home.” Her eyes flicked to Remus. “Oh, you’ve brought your pet with you.” Her nose wrinkled as though she’d smelt something foul.

“Sorry, Bella, but without Kreacher to watch over him, I didn’t want to leave him alone at Grimmauld Place.” Her eyes widened in understanding. 

“Of course, dear cousin, of course. Quite understandable.” She pulled him in close and whispered in his ear. “Don’t let him out of your sight.” Regulus nodded and allowed her to link his arm as they walked up to the castle door.

Bellatrix left them in the entrance as she disappeared into the gloomy halls back to her meeting. 

Regulus ended up showing Remus the castle. He guessed they’d be waiting a while. He always was in this castle. They were in the collections room. Regulus was showing off some of the unique objects that the Lestrange family had collected over the generations when his eyes landed on something he hadn’t noticed before. 

A small two-handled golden cup with a badger engraving on the front.  It was the cup. Regulus could have kicked himself. Of course, Voldemort had given a Horcrux to his most loyal followers. Lestrange Castle had so many wards and protections on it no one who hadn’t been invited in would be able to get to it. 

“Remus, look!” He pointed excitedly at the cup. 

“Merlin! Is it warded?” Remus always asked the important questions. Regulus was immensely glad he was there and not Sirius, who would have just grabbed the cup. 

There was a tamper jinx on it and the other objects in the glass case. 

They quickly came up with a plan. Regulus transfigured a Galleon into a convincing copy of the cup and stood in front of it ready. 

He and Remus both opened different cabinets at exactly the same time. The room stayed silent. Regulus closed his eyes and took a deep breath. They’d have seconds before someone came to see what they were doing. 

“Okay, three, two, one,” Regulus said calmly. They reached out and picked up what was in front of them. A loud, ear-ringing siren went off, filling the room with noise. Regulus quickly replaced the cup with the fake and stowed the real one in his pocket. He shut the cabinet door just as the rooms door swung open so violently it hit the wall with a crack. A swarm of witches and wizards moved in, wands raised.

I really wish I could just fall asleep on command because the biggest reason I stay up is because when I try to sleep I’m left alone with my thoughts and that gets annoying really quickly

okay I wanna make a proposition for polls to have a 3 day limit. Cus 1 day is too short (unless you want it to be short) and a week is just a bit too long (unless your hoping for better results) but I just wanna add the 3 day mark. it's not too long, or too short. Good amount of time for people to see it and vote.

Great people of tumblr. I am trusting you to get my word across (not forced)

also if the tumbler staff see this. Hi :)
