#ever thus

[wrapped-up]

The door to the bathroom slammed open, making Remus jump out of his skin and the bath water slosh over the side of the bath. Paddy whined at him, tail wagging like crazy and sniffing at the bath-bound Remus in curiosity. He was briefly concerned that he was going to leap right into the bath with him, but was left with a different problem when the dog abruptly left, leaving the door wide open, and a very naked Remus on the opposite side of the room to his towel.

I didn't have a dog at the time of writing this. I now have a dog and can confirm that it's very accurate indeed.

“If a day doesn’t have you in it, it isn’t a good day”

Ever Thus, by WrappedUp. One of my first Muggle AUs that got me in a chokehold and led me to this irreparable obsession. Does this scene live in my head rent free on a constant loop? Yes. Do I have too many feelings about it and nowhere to put them so I’m here screaming into the void? Absofuckinglutely 🫶🏽

This is very much 'Ever Thus' wolfstar, except they're in their twenties <3

do you know how tortured james potter was when sirius revealed he liked remus. do you? he finally had his hands on the juiciest, highly coveted piece of gossip he’s ever heard and he had to keep it to himself. james ‘biggest mouth do not trust with your secrets because he will accidentally let it slip’ potter had to be quiet for YEARS. and he kept that secret so good because sirius would have lost trust in him otherwise and he would rather die than let that happen. but that man was STRESSED. years of stress. and then remus came to him with his feelings for sirius and that man almost pulled his hair out because how do you tell remus to go for it TRUSSST ME. GO FOR IT MOONY without spilling the beans. james potter started suffering from heartburn at the age of 16 because his two best friends are idiots

Bingqiu AU where Luo Binghe's the chosen village sacrifice to the evil deity who lives up the mountain.

Normally the village sends maidens, but they've more or less run out of expendable girls of the right age and, ahem, "virtues". So of course Luo Binghe's early life bad luck kicks in. In the wake of his mother's death there's no one to really care about what happens to him, he's fairly pretty, and the village leaders decide that if they dress him up like a girl the teenaged homeless kid should pass well enough. And hey, y'know, he's probably got a hard life ahead for him anyway -- dying in a brothel of some venereal disease or on the streets of exposure or starvation. At least as a sacrifice, everyone else gets to benefit from his loss! And the kid will get added to a shrine and be remembered as a hero! If anything, he should be happy about this!

Binghe is not happy about this.

But he's also a skinny underfed nobody who is easily overpowered, dressed up like a bride, and tied to a post. So. Not much he can do but wait for the evil deity to come and do whatever horrible thing he's gonna do to him.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan is pretty sure he's been isekai'd into the over-powered hero of some kind of supernatural adventure story? He's not totally sure because he doesn't recognize the setting, but the signs are there. He's got a shrine-like base of operations (though it seems to have become corrupted/ruined, probably he has to restore it somehow), he has a very resilient and handsome new body with spiritual energy of some kind flowing through him, and a very clearly magical sword. Plus lots of neat starter powers! Though it feels like he has other abilities that have been blocked somehow? Probably he has to level up in order to access them.

When he treks out of his "base" and finds what seems to be a distressed maiden, he takes it for his beginner hero mission. The girl claims that she's been doomed to be sacrificed to an evil god. That sounds a little above Shen Yuan's pay grade for dealing with, so he unties her and decides that they had better just get out of the whole region altogether. He already packed up anything useful from his base, anticipating he might get caught up in an adventure once he left, so they follow the river away from the settlement until they reach another one.

While they travel, Luo Binghe tells Shen Yuan about the cursed deity, Shen Qingqiu, who was cast out of the heavens for slaughtering one of his brethren and has apparently being do-who-knows what to maidens from the local village in exchange for his "protection" ever since. Sounds like a real asshole! And also mid-level boss type bad guy at least. Shen Yuan hopes he doesn't have to fight him, but he probably will.

Thank goodness he found Binghe, though! Clearly the helpful little sister type! He's definitely going to require her assistance if he's going to figure out how to navigate this world and level up his skills enough to take on a god.

For ama!

💀 🪦

not intentional picking the morbid ones !!

💀if you had to write an alternate ending to [insert fic] how would you end it?

For JWTDO: Sirius's period of self-discovery lasts much longer. A decade passes and after a string of failed relationships, he bumps into Remus and Hugo at one of those long tables in Wagamama.

Nothing is lessened. Everything feels as fresh and as raw as it did on the day they broke up.

Things get sexy from there.

And for Happy Birthday, You: They don't get interrupted in the sea in Spain and Remus manages to get his words out.

It goes something like this:

Remus: Sirius, I-

Sirius: What's wrong?

Remus: I don't know if you know. In fact, I think you probably don't know. But I... I've kind of had feelings for you for- Oh god, this is awful. For a while.

Sirius, very aware that his tummy is doing crunchy things: Feelings?

Remus: Of the romantic sort of variety. Feelings like... like I'd like to kiss you. Like I'd like us to be quite a lot more than just good friends. Like I'd-

Sirius, interrupting, feeling his horny lips parting quite of their own accord: Okay.

Remus, incredulous: Okay?

Sirius, wondering how he can ask Jeremy (very politely) whether he might like to go home early: Yeah, okay.

🪦 if you had to turn one of your fics into MCD which one would you chose?

Oof.

Oh god, this is like killing a child.

I'm going to go with Ever Thus Sirius. Because then he'll be young and perfect and my dream man, forever immortalised.

Sorry, dearest.

[notebooks-and-laptops]

I am once again imploring people to stop claiming that the companions and factions needed to be sanded down compared to previous games because otherwise there would have been Discourse. I am imploring you to stop thinking that any world (real or fictional) needs to be smoothed down and made simple to make others comfortable. I am asking you to think about what that implies when the 'softening' relates to things like characters cultural heritage, systematic oppression they've experienced, their trauma or even their anger. Demand better from your stories; do NOT fall into the trap of thinking that fan Discourse and Bad Reactions should be avoided at all costs. This is Not something we want to be encouraging or a direction we want all our mainstream media to head in.

Hi, Howdy! Hey! I really love your novel!! I got a little confused by the 4 day, may maybe you help me please? who is it? why we got the bad end staying the night in Ren’s apartment and he disappear of the home screen? I can’t understand “unset memory” game, sorry if I wrote smth wrong or smth sounds rude, I swear that I didn’t mean it if happened, I’m really a fan of the novel, I’ve been playing the game since day 1 or 2 I guess, probably day 1, english isn’t my first language, but I tried lol

⌞♥⌝ I hope you don't mind me answering these as bullet points!! ^^

"It" will be revealed later in the game! So I won't reveal too much right now.

You can only get the Dead End in Day 4 by staying at Ren's apartment — the rest of your choices before that don't matter. I'd also pay closer attention to the black smoke and Ren's reaction towards it!

Ren disappears from the home screen because he promised to help the player out (and stop them from getting the Dead End again). Try replaying the game again from the beginning for a surprise!

"Unsent Memories" was another visual novel (initially being written by @10chimes / @unsentmemory, though the project has since been dropped and handed back to me /pos) and is set in the same universe as 14 Days With You. Its storyline and characters are completely separate from 14DWY, so you don't have to worry about them while playing 14DWY.

My post's not romanticizing cait x vi or jarley, but making a joke about how I've seen caitlyn compared to many fluffy sapphic ships like lumity or glimmadora whereas I wanted to compare her to a more blatantly presented abuser
