Would you like to tell us something about the 50k prongsfoot wip? 🙏🏼

YES!!!! holy shit i fucking love talking about my fics. rambling under the cut so i can include some snippets

so it’s titled my calamitous love (and insurmountable grief) and the basic premise of it is that it’s a canon compliant (more or less. i use the term canon compliant lightly) fic focused on james and sirius’ fifth year. originally, it had started as a vent fic for me to write whump about sirius, but then i just kept writing and it just kept evolving. i say 50k but thats a bit of an exaggeration as the fic is currently only at about 40k words, but the issue lies in that i think it’s about 75% done so it’ll likely end up to be like 60k or so words.

it is a very heavy fic and one of the main plot points is that sirius has an eating disorder so it is definitely not a light fic! it also focuses on sirius & regulus’ relationship almost as much as it does on prongsfoot (what can i say? sibling relationships destroy me) and it’s very hurt/comfort.

i mostly started writing it bc i wanted more longer prongsfoot fics. theyre probably (definitely) my fav marauders ships and i wish more people saw how good they can be romantically instead of focusing so hard on the “platonic soulmates” bit. like maybe they kiss a little!! (also you didnt hear it from me, but im kinda a wolfstar hater… i mean theyre fine but theyre so boring to me. prongsfoot 🔛🔝 (elaborating on this: wolfstar is fine and i like the ship fine, but i dont like most fandom interpretations of them and the fandom has made me dislike them. i like good wolfstar characterizations tho.))

the general plot goes from the beginning of fifth year likely to somewhere around sixth year (though i havent decided as i havent written that far and i dont plan fics in advance at all). it includes sirius running away from grimmauld place to the potters and a lot of silly banter between the marauders.

the problem with it is that i started this fic about a year ago (november 2022) and my writing style has changed a lot since then so in order to finish this fic, i need to do a complete edit and revamp which honestly! i would like to do if i have time! i am also working on my long jason gender fic always an angel (never a god) which takes a lot of my free time, but i might return to this prongsfoot fic once that behemoth of a fic is finished.

let me include some random snippets of this fic that i really like!!

my problem is that i continuously create fics and then never finish them when my hyperfixation dies. i plotted out a rosekiller fic with the funniest concept ever and then just never did anything with it and it just rots in my google docs

but anyways!! as u can tell im literally the yapmaster 5000 so if u ever want to ask abt any of my wips or fics, i will gladly ramble. (wait until u hear about the prongsfoot daisy jones & the six au that i started)
