Abandon Ship [A HP Gen Fiction Fest]

⚓️ This fest was created to celebrate general fiction, also known as "gen" fiction in fandom.

⚓️ Gen fiction, for the purposes of this fest, refers to any work that does not centre around a romantic or sexual relationship between two or more characters. (e.g. casefics, character studies etc)

⚓️ You are free to include any kind of pairing you want in your work so long as it is not the sole or primary focus of your creation. We know that this definition of gen fic is somewhat open to interpretation, but as a rough guideline, we'd request that you only submit fics that can reasonably be tagged Gen and/or Gen+Pairing.

Important Dates

⚓️ January 10th: Opening For Prompts ⚓️ January 31st: Closing For Prompts ⚓️ February 1st: Claiming Opens ⚓️ May 1st: Claiming Closes ⚓️ May 30th: Submissions Due ⚓️ June 10th: Fic Reveals Begin

My Brothers, my boys, my twins

Playing around with desiging (badly lol) banners for my fics. its sun even if it looks terrible lmao. So, this fic was written for the @hp-abandonshipfest Prompt was Pre canon, Percy being the one who mostly watches the twins. A03 link is here And as always a snippet:

“You’re a good brother, Percy,” Harry said softly. “The best,” George said as he sniffled into Percy’s shoulder. “I’m not....” Percy replied. “Stop Perc. You didn’t kill him,” George said, angry now. “You didn’t kill him. You just loved him. We’re not doing this, not tonight. Tonight, we’re getting drunk, and then we’re all going to The Burrow tomorrow with horrendous hangovers, and mum will tut and fret, and then she will burst into tears, and there will be one cake instead of two,” George trailed off, suddenly falling back to sitting on the sofa, grabbing his knees and burying his head in them. “Fuck, I didn’t think this through. There’s only gonna be one cake, Perc,” he said with a cracked voice.

Title: Between Truth & Repose Written for AbandonShip Fest 2024 - @hp-abandonshipfest Characters: Lily Evans, Narcissa Black, Remus Lupin Rating: T Summary: Lily figures the assignment is as good a chance as any to ask her question - why are the three curses unforgivable?

Notes: Prompt #130 - Magic is fascinating. The main character wants to know everything. Or: an excuse to infodump magical theory/explore magic

reading, lately

Go give all these a look, they're phenomenal.

Eat Your Death, Draco by @sillywives T | 3k

What if Draco was really excited to join the Death Eaters but then found out they eat death? Literally. On a plate. Draco being Draco is hilarious in this one. (Written for @hp-abandonshipfest)

Seven Year Itch by @mintawasalreadytaken E | 5.6k

Please read @vukovich's prompt for this at the start of the fic, and then oh my god. What minta does with it is so, so good. Ugh! I don't want to say much because I don't want to spoil it. But it will hurt so good. (Written for @hd-hurtcomfort-fest)

Crush by @citrusses E | 8k

Harry's a mess but someone has a crush on him. What's the best way to ensure he can keep their attention? Asking Draco Malfoy for help, of course! Gosh, I love this. Funny and sweet and sexy. I love everything citrusses writes.

When the Flood Comes by @academicdisasterfic E | 10.3k

Draco is a lawyer, back in England to stop oil drilling legislation in the North Sea. Harry is a stoic Auror, set on seeing something through. There's political manouvering, powerful women, and men who are terrible, as always. But Harry's one of the good ones, as always. I love this fic sm, and maybe I'm biased (I am, but I'm also right) but you should read everything by academicdisaster. (Written for @hd-wireless)

Rookie Moves by peu_a_peu E | 75k

Harry and Draco are Auror partners. Harry attempts earnestness, while Draco remains Draco ('Get fucked, loser,' is an amazing response to when someone tries to shake your hand.) Hilarity ensues. Ron and Hermione blame themselves. Need a sample? @littlewinnow drew an amazing rendition of the above-mentioned 'Get fucked, loser.'

Also not a rec, per se (because it's widely known) but my comfort fic lately is Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love. Hilarious, smart, and full of the best romcom tropes.

🪻 WRITING 🪻

I write only for the HP fandom, but I read all sorts - I have a fond place in my heart for Good Omens, Hockey RPF, Haikyuu!, LOTR, Fullmetal Alchemist, and many others. I am pro-SALS, YKINMKATO, and DLDR.

I am a big fan of anything weird and wonderful - strange rare pairs, less-loved characters, odd events and narratives. I don't really stick to one or two ships or styles, I just go where the moment takes me 😅

A lot of my fics are archive-locked, so please log in for the full experience 🥰

If you want to take a chance on something I've written (bless you, truly), start with my Author's Favourites series. Those are some of the fics I'm most proud of.

🪻 MODDING 🪻

Weekly Roundup 9th June - 30th June

So, im a little behind with weekly round up as im sure you can see. A broken wrist and RL really has been kicking my arse. Thankfully my wrist ismuch better and Rl seems to have calmsed down somewhat so im back. Between the 9-30th June I uploaded 19,849 words (thats not all I wrote but I didnt keep track lol) and as always I will put 6 recs and mine under the read more.

So, as always, recs first: The Best of You and Me - giddytf2 - The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, I love it hwen they are both idiots tbh)

Summary: In which Jaskier discovers that he's mysteriously pregnant but wants the baby, Geralt finally learns to use his words after twenty years, Yennefer is so done with two idiots in love and their communication problems, and Ciri gains a new family.

A Dream or Something More - amloveabledeathmo - The Hobbit (Jackson Movies)(Bilbo/Thorin, Quest retelling, The Rivendell scene is just so precious)

Summary: Bilbo gets a second chance, but how long is it before he realizes it. He does things to make himself happy and treats the dwarves like the lovely family they are. Also setting Bilbo a bit younger here not middle aged but about 40ish so like 10 or so years earlier to give him more time with his dwarves.

My Ego Dies - Conkers - The Hobbit (Jackson Movies) @conkers-thecosy (Bilbo/Thorin, this is just all around adorable)

Summary: What if Frodo Baggins visited Erebor ten years after Bilbo returned to the Shire, and met with Thorin Oakenshield.

White lies - ylc - The Witcher (TV) (Geralt/Jaskier, Fake/pretend relationships are just so much fun) Summary: In Jaskier’s defense, he hadn’t actually believed Geralt would come looking for him eventually, so he figured that telling his mother that the Witcher was the father of the child he was carrying would be a completely harmless lie. And then of course Geralt had walked back into his life and things got… complicated.

Moonlight Feathers - Akikofuma - Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, both are griffins and its so bloody cute)

Summary: Due to his coloring, Geralt will never have a family of his own, he's sure of it; until he meets Jaskier.

Learning how to be free - tashaxxxxxx - Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Geralt/Jaskier, A/b/o, please mind the tags but this is so beautifully done)

Summary: Jaskier is a badly beaten omega belonging to King Vizimir with little hope for the future. He had even less hope when he’s told he’s going to be given away to the Witchers, bloodthirsty beasts, as assurance that Redania will keep to the peace treaty.

Jaskier has little hope of surviving the next few days, let alone of finding freedom and love.

And, as always, my fics. I have 6 fics to share with you for this time period <3

Ereborian Pride (Bilbo/Thorin and the final of my Baggin-shieldtober series that took me 9 months lol. Once again, thank you @smolestboop for the amazing prompts. Summary: On the afternoon of Kili's 18th birthday, Thorin and the rest of the company and their families) remembeed their past lives. Their quest, living in a thriving Erebor.

Thorin remembered loving and losing Bilbo. 4 year later there still hasn't been any word from their burglar. Thorin needs to find the other half of his heart.

Count, Count, Count before you Cry: Count, Count, Count before I Die (Bilbo/Thorin, written for @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt count the days, very sad, please read the tags)

Summary: Thorin and the dwarves are Gold sick and they have NOT forgiven Bilbo his betrayal

A pair of scarlet rain boots (Geralt/Jaskier, My very first Witcher fic that I think is one of my fav things I've written)

Summary: Jaskier passed away a long time ago. The only human in a family of non-humans.

Cirilla has just had her first child and she wishes with all her heart her only human parent was here. Of course, he loved her so much he has never left her.

My brothers, my boys, my twins (Horry Potter, its Percy and George, gen fic for the @hp-abandonshipfest, its also part of my FireSeeker (Percy/Viktor) Series)

Summary: Percy was unintentionally parentified at a young age. He was tasked with being an extra parent to the twins. Now, having dumped his boyfriend, the night before the twins 22nd Birthday, the first birthday without Fred, he finds himself with George and Harry. Reminiscing about the boys he all but helped raised. His twins, and one is missing forever-more.

For the Abandon ship fest, prompt 67: Pre canon, Percy being the one who mostly watches the twins.

Dorcas the Orca, The Maruaders and a jail cell (A marauuders gen crack fic for a wonderful friend of mine)

Summary: Sirius, James and Remus are put in a jail cell.

As annoying as it is, Remus would have dealt with it, but theres an orca in the corner of the cell somehow...

If I sing it loud and clear, will you finally hear? (Geralt/Jaskier, for the @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt - House of cards)

Summary: Jaskier has a new song and is as subtle as a drunken Lambert.

If Geralt doesnt see Jaskier's feelings for him now, well theres no hope for him.
