Hi Lovely,
You have unlocked a memory omg. I remember that ask..... that was from OTRA I believe. We all had such a time with that too, I think it was an off day from a concert and alltheselights got that ask. We all laughed at it because it was so extra, from the description of herself, to the "I know a gay man when I see one" (a serious wtf lol) to the "you can keep Louis, not Harry" which never made any sense. I think you found the origin of a het harrie. (Ă)

Are the any new fics (within the last couple months) that are good? Iâm in a reading drought and I feel like Iâve read every Larry fic there is :( I got so desperate I even thought about looking into f/m fics..
NOOOOO NOT THE HET FICS. DONâT DO IT. đ
I think Iâm just going to use your ask to post my year-end favorite fics. Hope you donât mind.
Itâs been a tough year for me, and I havenât gotten to read a ton, but these are all excellent.
Secrets, Santa? By @indiaalphawhiskey (E, 19K) disaster gay Harry in all his bumbling, endearing glory still manages to make his incredibly hot boss (Louis) fall for him. This one has snappy dialogue, great internal monologue, and scorching smut. Iâd expect nothing less from this author.
your lips in the low light by etherealbliss / @givesuethemoon (E, 21K) Itâs been a long time since I read a Larry Uni AU, and this one checked all the boxes. This author managed to really capture the immaturity and obsessive emotions of university age lovers arguing and breaking up, and making each other jealous, and fucking and fighting some more, and ultimately making up. Harry is bratty and sensitive and Louis is dense and long-suffering and theyâre perfect for each other.
Scorpions et Madragores by Stria / @nooradeservedbetter (E, 23K) Read the tags and authorâs note on this one because there are some themes that could be triggering. This is a dark fic and Harry is a pretty creepy vampire, but the story is very well told and thereâs a happy ending.
2 a.m. texts by everysingleday / @sun-lt (T, 30K) This was very sweet and very funny and had just enough sexiness (although I wouldnât have minded more. LOL!) Link is to a download.
The Doppel Effect by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright (T, 6K) the concept for this fic was so original and a really compelling read, I canât help but hope the author gets inspired to continue this âverse.
Danger I Canât Hide by CelticSky (E, 227K) This oneâs got all the tension and drama youâd expect of a World War II storyâlife and death high stakes, friends and lovers unexpectedly torn apart, battles and heroism, plus the added stakes of classism and homophobiaâthen add a slow burn, high risk, scorching love affair spanning years. If you want a story thatâs complex and fantastically researched, plus lovers to root for, read it. Itâs long. But I couldnât put it down. When I finally did, I picked it right back up and read it twice more. Itâs that good.
one conversation by fondleeds (NR, 1K) This really is just a couple of scenes, and the story is open-ended, but, if for no other reason, read it for the beautiful way the sentences flow. My notes on every fic of theirs begin with: âI wish I could write like this.â
Night Shift by banaanipoika (E, 9K) This was incredibly sexy and beautifully written. I loved that there was such a unique setting with so much descriptive language making me feel like I could smell and feel everything in that hospital room.
On The Pull by @homosociallyyours (E, 4K) Short, but really sexy and just the right amount of bittersweet and hopeful. Loved the characterizations and the smooth writing. So few people write canon Larry these days so this was a nice change of pace.
Devil in my brain, whispering my name by @lunarheslwt (E, 9K) i i thought this author struck a great balance between the dirtiness of a demon defiling an angel and the way the angel gave in to his desire to be defiled. Super sexy.
pull you closer (kiss me harder) by @sunshineandthemoonlight (E, 6K) This was absolutely beautiful â just the perfect amount of tension and wistfulness to make me tear up. But then it was sexy and full of hope at the end. I loved how Louis supported Harry and gave him exactly what he needed (and really, H gave Louis what he needed, too).

Answer the Questions and Tag 5 Fanfic Authors
Tagged by @kitkatt0430 and @softboydepot - Thank you both for the tag :D
1. How did you get into writing fanfiction?
So I was about 13 years old, I was scrolling through my brand new One Direction tumblr, username "its-a-1d-world", soon to become "curly-and-boobear-stylinson", a harrowing username that genuinely makes me shiver like someone just walked over my grave. Like I'm sure this means nothing to someone who wasn't in the fandom AND an extreme larrie but let me tell you. Imagine the most intensely cringe superwholock url you could have. It's on that level
And I remember seeing what we would soon come to very derisively refer to as a "harry het fic" on my dash. So like, in 1D fandom, you had your standard self-insert Y/N fics, you had the queer RPF where you were shipping the boys with each other, and then you had the "het fics", which is where someone would make up a female character for one of the boys (usually Harry bc that man had and still has an insane chokehold on teenage girls everywhere) to date. If anyone has had the misfortune to read and/or watch After by Anna Todd... that type of deal
ANYWAYS I was totally unaware of fanfic as a concept, which is quite funny because as a little baby writer I'd been writing extremely derivative pseudo-fanfic for quite a few years by that point, like stories inspired by Young Dracula or Narnia or whatever without really knowing what it was. But this Harry het fic floated across my dash and a little switch went in my brain because I was like WAIT. I COULD BE WRITING STORIES ABOUT THE BOYS?? Like this was so exciting to me because writing is like probably my biggest eternal special interest and One Direction was my like, most intense special interest at the time, so I was like WAIT. I CAN COMBINE THESE THINGS. And also PEOPLE WILL READ THEM AND COMMENT ON THEM and I was sooo convinced I was god's gift to writing at the time so I was like well OBVIOUSLY everyone will read MY fics and I'll get super fandom famous instantly.
So I wrote an incredibly terrible Harry het one shot with an original character and literally got crickets. Nobody read it. Very embarrassing. I think I wrote a handful of these and nobody wanted to know, which is fair enough because I'm sure they were very bad. But THEN I was like okay fine, well everyone is obsessed with Larry, including me (though I very much liked it in a "bromance" way at the time, so I'll write a Larry fic instead. This is Louis and Harry for the uninitiated. It was the biggest fandom ship. We shipped all and every configuration of the boys but Larry and Ziam were the hard hitters. I think I wrote a few different one shots for various pairings but then I did my first Larry multi-chapter
ANYHOO the Larry fic was a big hit, I got all the outpouring of compliments and attention that my enormous thirteen-year-old head was convinced I deserved and that was kind of it really lmao. I was hooked. When I tell you I'd update my fics MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY because I was writing so fast and so obsessively, like god idk what the fuck was going on in my head but it was the greatest high I have ever experienced in my life. I also got incredibly deeply involved in the conspiracy theory about Louis and Harry's secret gay relationship and spent the next five years of my life tinhatting obsessively but that's a whole other story
2. How many fandoms have you written in?
In terms of what I've posted to AO3, only a handfulâas mentioned, I started off in the One Direction fandom, I've written for The Flash and Legends, and dabbled in Doctor Who. In terms of fandoms I've written little bits for but never shared... so many lmao, the list (as far as I can recall) includes the following:
Batwoman, Supergirl, The Bold Type, The Devil Wears Prada, Once Upon a Time, Supernatural, Torchwood, Twilight, X-Men, and bizarrely, The Witcher, apparently??? I have ZERO memory of that, but it's in my fanfic folder. No idea what that was about
3. How many years have you been writing fanfiction?
I think I started in 2011/early 2012, so upward of a decade at this point... eesh.
4. Do you read or write more fanfiction?
Definitely write. I do want to read more fic, but I have a hard time choosing what to read and I am very bad at using AO3's search functions to find what I want.
5. What is one way youâve improved as a writer?
I've finally started finishing shit!! Big moment for me lmao
6. Whatâs the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
I read an entire book on public defenders for a fic where Barry becomes a public defender instead of a CSI. I own a copy of a book called Forensics for Dummies which I'm slowly working my way through for fic reasons... I feel like none of these are that weird lmao
7. Whatâs your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Who doesn't love the mega long comments pulling out random lines the reader liked to yell about them. I sometimes get so excited reading these comments that I lose sleep over it lmao i love them so much
8. Whatâs the most fringe trope/topic you write about?
Lmaoo this is a very odd one but I once wrote a Larry Stylinson fic where Harry was Slenderman and he was haunting Louis, and either Zayn or Liam was like a Van Helsing type who was trying to hunt Slenderman!Harry down and kill him. Or maybe it was Nick Grimshaw, the at the time host of the BBC1 radio breakfast show. He was the go-to fandom villain at the time
I never finished it but that was a cool time, someone in the fandom actually composed an instrumental piano piece inspired by Slenderman!Harry which is up there with the coolest things that have ever happened to me
In general I don't know if I necessarily go that fringe. I feel like it's somewhat obvious I have a bit of a thing for femdom, and also like. Coldwest/coldwestallen in general lmao, I guess that's fringe-ish
9. What is the hardest type of story for you to write?
Funnily enough probably pwp. I feel like smut is generally considered to be just an easy fun time but I feel like my line-editing process is not conducive to smut writing thing because I write the first draft in a haze of feral horny energy and then edit and revise it over and over to the point where I no longer find it sexy at all and am unable to tell whether it's even still hot or if I've totally killed the vibe in my quest to find the most poetic way of describing the way people fuck nasty. It's very frustrating ngl
10. What is the easiest type?
None of them. This is such a cop-out but everything I write is hard because I'm an insane perfectionist and everything HAS to be beautifully crafted so at this point everything is hard. But ngl I find multichapters easiest to draft in some ways just cos I can kinda cling to the high of "ooh a new idea" whilst also contributing to the same project because the "new ideas" are just new chapters, if that makes sense? It's fitting them all together that's the hard part lmao
11. Where do you do your writing? What platform? When?
I use a combination of Microsoft Word, Scrivener, and a notes app on my phone called Penzu, which is where I scribble down all the random snippets and ideas and bits and bobs that come to me during the day. The bulk of my drafting and editing is done in Word and I basically only use Scrivener for its notecard function where you can move scenes around really easily, and then I transfer everything back into Word because of Tracked Changes. Does Scrivener have that? Probably. Scrivener has everything
12. What is something youâve been too nervous/intimidated to write, but would love to write one day?
Honestly it's never really a case of "too nervous/intimidated" because I genuinely have never encountered an idea where I was like "hmm idk if I can pull it off", I have extreme faith in my own capabilities to an almost delusional level lmao, it's always just "I do not have time". But I do have this extremely long Coldwestallen fic that's inspired by Hades and Persephone, with Barry as Persephone, Len as Hades, and Iris as a soooort of Demeter figure which i know is weird because Demeter is Persephone's mother, but whatever, she more embodies the familial connection of the whole team rather than being an actual blood relative if that makes sense
So the concept is basically Barry as Persephone spending half his time with Len and the Rogues in the criminal underworld (I thought I was so clever for that one lmao) and the rest with Team Flash, and then the lines blur and it becomes coldwestallen-y eventually, but it's soooo long and basically split into four novels that I have written between 25 and 50k for each. It's gonna take me literal YEARS to tackle this thing so I've kinda put it on hold for now but I miss it so much
13. What made you choose your username?
So I wrote a joke in a fic that I genuinely have no idea whether I even posted it or not, it might have been in Aftermath. But basically Barry's suit gets blown up and he gets photographed literally streaking through the city totally nude (you can't see anything bc he's moving too fast but you can tell he ain't wearing any clothes lmao) and there's a newspaper headline that's like "THE FLASHER???" Let me tell you I was very annoyed the other day when I learned they already made that joke on Supergirl
And then I just added "cold" for Len lmao

20 Questions for Writers
Thanks for the tag, @they-lived! I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to steal this, feel free.
How many works do you have on AO3?
223
Whatâs your total AO3 word count?
1,782,322
What fandoms do you write for?
Currently, my main fandoms are Yuri!!! on Ice and Sailor Moon, but I've written for Fruits Basket, Kaleido Star, Harry Potter, Card Captor Sakura, Someday's Dreamers, Princess Tutu, Fire Emblem, and Super GALS in the past.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Midnight Magic (Card Captor Sakura) with 415
No Longer Alone (Kaleido Star) with 167
One Kiss (Sailor Moon) with 152
Realization (Sailor Moon) with 152
Distraction (Sailor Moon) with 138
Do you respond to comments?
Yes, usually!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably "Do Not Cry For Me" (Sailor Moon)?
Whatâs the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Gah, that's a tough one when you've written over two hundred fics. Um⌠Maybe "To Be By Your Side" since the rest of the fic is so angsty, the ending is especially happy?
Do you get hate on fics?
Occasionally. The most memorable was years ago when someone wrote literal PAGES of unhinged reviews on FF.net because I dared to write a Setsuna/Mamoru fic. I didn't even read them all because it was justâŚwow. (Apparently, the person behind it was an ex-friend of someone who had contacted me about the fic in the past? Like, they had hacked into their account and harassed the authors the person had sent private messages to for some reason? It was a weird situation. I've since deleted the reviews, of course.)
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, I do, on occasion. I've written all kinds, mostly het, but some m/m and f/f, and even a couple of threesomes (f/f/m and m/m/f).
Do you write crossovers?
Once. I wrote a Sailor Moon/Super GALS fic. (I did have some ideas for others, most notably a Sailor Moon/Witch Hunter Robin fic and a Sailor Moon/Kaleido Star story, but I never got around to doing much with those ideas.)
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Twice that I'm aware of. The first was in the days of A Sailor Moon Romance. I don't even remember which story it was (I'm thinking "Sweet Dreams"), but what was weird was that the summary they used had absolutely nothing to do with my fic, with a completely different pairing. I may have never even noticed they had stolen my story if not for the fact that they claimed it was a Minako/Yaten fic, and I happen to be a M/Y fan. In hindsight, I wonder if they actually did write a story fitting the summary and just uploaded my fic by mistake? That's the only explanation that makes sense. The other one is probably still up, since FF.net no longer moderates their site. They took my fic "Daddy's Little Girl" and just switched the names and descriptions to make it a Gundam Wing fic.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, a ficlet into Russian.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not technically, but back in the day, SuperKateB did give me co-writing credits on her story "Love Chain", since it was based on my original idea and I helped her with some of the plot points. I didn't do any actual writing, though, just editing.
What is your all-time favorite ship?
Chibi-Usa/Helios from Sailor Moon will always be my number one, but Otayuri (Otabek/Yuri) from Yuri!!! on ice is a very, very close second!
Whatâs a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
"Metamorphosis", my fic exploring how Helios originally became priest of Elysion. I've been stuck on it for years and years, so I doubt it'll ever be finished.
What are your writing strengths?
Oh, I don't knowâŚ
What are your writing weaknesses?
Description, without a doubt. Oh, and writing kisses. I HATE, HATE, HATE writing kisses!!!!!!
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I'm fine with it, as long as it's somehow made clear what the translation is, whether it's by context clues, an author's note, or whatever. I've done it many times myself.
First fandom you wrote for?
Sailor Moon
Favorite fic youâve written?
I'd say it's a three-way tie between "To Be By Your Side" (Sailor Moon), "The Bonds We Choose" (Yuri!!! on Ice), and "Blood On His Hands" (Kaleido Star).

USM Good Carnage!Harry AU
WARNING: SPOILERS FOR USM S2 & S4 WILL BE MENTIONED
Iâve been getting back into USM & recently, Iâve rewatched S4E21-23 (Spider-Slayers Trilogy), S2E8 (Carnage) and have gotten hooked on this amazing Parksborn fic by @ultimatepeter-manâ.
Before I get into the actual AU idea, pls bear with me. In the Spider-Slayers Trilogy, MJ debuted as Spider-Woman.
Long story short: After the whole Carnage Queen fiasco, some of the symbiote stayed bonded to her which gave her a suit + powers similar to Agent Venom.
Now let me make this clear. I LOVE badass action girls & the first time I watched this, I was thrilled to see MJ get a chance to shine as a fellow spider.
BUT
Honestly? This doesnât vibe with me, mainly bcz it feels waaaaay too rushed. This literally happened near the end of the show. The fact that MJ was largely absent throughout the series made it feel as though the writers wanted to shove the MJ x Parker ship into our faces after not touching a het ship at all.
(Pls note that I have NOTHING against that ship. Iâm just saying that the writers didnât do it right here.)
Which brings me to my next point: our boi Harry Osborn, who compared to MJ, played a much bigger role throughout the series. He had more involvement, more development and frankly, USM Harry had some of the best chemistry with Peter. Yes USM is what got me into Parksborn, so sue me.Â
Which brings me to this AU:
Instead of MJ getting a symbiote power-up at the end of the series run, let Harry get one. Except this time, (1) he firmly uses it for good & (2) itâs the Carnage symbiote.
How it happens:
-During S2E8, slight divergence wherein Peter successfully tells Harry heâs Spidey before most things proceed like canon.
-However, during the fight, Goblin seemingly manages to destroy Venom, leaving Harry âpowerlessâ.....or so everyone thinks.
-Cue Parksborn going on a date, baddies attack and BOOM! Harry reveals that the symbiote decided to stay with him.
-Sprinkling some inspo from MSM, Carnage now has an orange-grey color scheme similar to Hobgoblin.
-Old married couple bickering happens between Parksborn as they kick ass back to back.
-âWhy didnât you tell me?!â âSays the guy who was Spidey for how many years now?!â âThis better not be your villain origin story!â âTwo words. Daddy issues. But Iâm still here, arenât I?â â....touche.â
-MJ can still be involved of course, but maybe as their guy in the chair. Maybe she helps SHIELD by trying to contact other teenage heroes who are on the run/living on the streets.Â
-But yeah, Pete gets a BF + new teammate, SHIELD academy happens and Harry briefly has a rivalry with Flash/Agent Venom bcz heâs lowkey salty abt how he treated Peter in the past before getting over it.
The end.
(Sorry if the structure of this is messy but his idea came to me after binge-reading Parksborn fics & binge-watching USM + MSM while high on caffeine.)

So please let me know if something like this already exists, but recently I've had the plot bunny hopping in my brain for a crossover sort of story, a fic that features asoiaf/got characters in the bridgerton verse, starting with the starks as the bridgertons. As in, Ned is deceased and catelyn is raising their children, robb acts as head of household in many matters, and such.
Not the same stories on suitors exactly, (gayer if possible lmao), but sansa's season does have Harry and Joffrey going after her, though she makes an agreement with Loras, brother of margaery - who is her real flirtation - to seem to be courting, because he has his secret lover already in renly and a wife who is not understanding is not a good option. (Or the het or bi option, more similar to the bridgerton story, with her and theon plotting and then falling for each other, despite his friendship with robb and usual behavior with women. Hmm, choices. Or both? Canonish with Marg moving on to the Baratheon boys? Idk.)
Robb and Jon raising Catelyn's blood pressure by seeking out young women who are not ladies, like nurse Talisa, and Ygritte from far up north, who knows how to shoot and rides like a man does. (Jon also stumbling into discovering his own bi tendencies with help of some other ~less suitable~ friends like Tormund.) (Jon raised as their brother but them knowing about Lyanna, Ned having been spurred by Whistledown's speculation about his identity to share that Lyanna died in his birth. No father named, though, all suspicions aside.)
Arya who spends as much time as possible with her friend shireen, because she wants nothing to do with marriage, only to find herself interested in shireen's cousin, gendry - a bastard of the dying king - who has served shireen's father and is her primary escort, especially given shireen's mother is convinced she won't find anyone, because of her facial scarring. Arya being sure originally that no man will want the real version of her, who can keep up with her brothers, is argumentative, able, and not ladylike, but finding that perhaps that distaste is not universal. Them at odds with the crown because cersei will not permit gendry to take any inheritance from his father, lest he get in the way of her children in the bloodline- but they don't want to be ruling figures, Joffrey, Tommen, and Myrcella can keep all that.
Bran not expecting any interest as an injured man and third son, spending energy trying to set up his friends Jojen and Meera with their own matches, at least until he realizes he's quite jealous of the ladies Jojen gently entertains. Jon helps him figure out exactly why.
Rickon wanting nothing to do with marriage whatsoever, but eventually finding himself falling for arya's friend shireen, who is possibly en route to spinsterdom due to her appearance, but she's incredibly smart and rickon finds himself enchanted when he runs away from home to spend time with the sister who happily 'married down'.
Featuring the Lannisters, Baratheons, the Tyrells, etc.

Tagged by @batrachised. Thank you!
1-How many works do you have on AO3?
102. We will not discuss the number of fics posted on the ff.net account I maintained in high school.
2-What's your total AO3 word count?
298,956. Lower than I would have expected, actually. My longfic days were primarily, again, in high school, so on AO3 it's mostly shorter one-shots.
3-What fandoms do you write for?
Currently on a Blue Castle kick. Previously my main fandom was Les Mis, mostly bookverse, and prior to that I spent a decade or so as a Harry Potter girl. I have dabbled in other things, but none of them deeply enough for me to consider them actual fandoms that I am in.
4-What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
In the darkest time of year -- Hadestown, post-canon. I believe this is also the fic with the most notes on tumblr.
The Black Sheep and the Mad Muggleborn: a love story -- HP, post-canon. I really liked writing this one and, like all my HP work, now have deeply conflicted feelings about it.
And I could be enough -- Power Rangers 2017, character study. I only wrote 2 fics for this movie and I adore them both so much.
Stormforged -- ASOIAF, alternate ending. This was written for Femslash February and represents the sum total amount of time I have spent thinking about ASOIAF since reading the first four books in a week during standardized testing week back in high school.
We rose with voices ringing -- HP, alternate post-canon. Can you tell I default to song lyric titles a lot and also enjoy musicals?
5-Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I am trying to be better about this! For a long time I didn't because I hated everything I wrote the moment I published it and the only way I could publish at all was to throw a fic out the door and never think of it again.
6-What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
You know, I'm not sure. I haven't done full on angst in a long time. Probably either Waiting for sunrise (LM) or With nothing to remember (also LM). Honorable mention goes to Real in its consequences (still LM) which exists solely to take a ridiculous premise seriously.
7-What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
It's new and still my beautiful child, so this one goes to Ties That Bind, Bonds That Strengthen (TBC).
Oh! Honorable mention to The title of citizen (LM Animates-verse). It's... it just has to be read to be understood, tbh.
8-Do you get hate on fics?
Not since the old aforementioned high school era ffn account, where I once got flamed for writing het. Ah, the good old days. (It wasn't even endgame het, lol.)
9-Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Nope. I've played with some fade to black and a couple, like, sensuous bed scenes, but I find it boring to read so I don't write it.
10-Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I have come to love crossovers, honestly. I like putting characters into Situations. Can't think of any particularly crazy ones though.
11-Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I've ever found or been told about, although realistically with how much I've written and how long I've been doing it I'm sure there are some out there.
12-Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, but I can't off the top of my head remember which ones, unfortunately.
13-Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
No. I am a dreadful co-writer. I will, however, build a world with you at the drop of a hat. Shout out to @steelplatedhearts for the PoTC mermaid worldbuilding we did years and years ago that I still think about fondly.
14-What's your all-time favourite ship?
It varies. Right now unfortunately it's the two leads from the Forbidden Hugs story, which is unfinished original fiction. Fandom wise, I still like me some Logic and Philosophy.
15-What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Anything started earlier than this year, unfortunately.
16-What are your writing strengths?
I like to think I have gotten decent at having an entertaining narrative voice without it being too distracting.
17-What are your writing weaknesses?
Plot? What plot? Plot is when people sit in rooms and have conversations about their feelings, right? What do you mean Events must occur? I'm calling my manager, this doesn't sound right at all.
18-Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Mostly feels needlessly pretentious, honestly. I don't know if I've ever really even considered it.
19-First fandom you wrote for?
HP, starting at age, oh, 14 or so.
20-Favorite fic you've ever written?
Again, Ties That Bind is still my beloved child, but I have a huge soft spot for both Power Rangers (2017) fics. Oh, and underdog fav status to Never go anywhere, never see anyone, the nichest of niche crossovers where Mary Bolkonskaya befriends doesn't-even-get-a-canonical-first-name Aunt Gillenormand.

I wish I shared your optimism, the Holivia stunt has just deflated me, and now the tattoo. Early last year? an anon messaged one of the big blogs and said that Harry did a Zane Lowe interview in London. After Coachella they redid the whole interview in Palm Springs and Zane made a comment about them redoing the interview. So there was a change of tactics and Harry made it clear that his album wasn't about Olivia by giving the time songs were written by, it was before they 'got together'. I'm guessing that in the first interview they did he alluded to the album being about her but all the backlash they got made him change his mind so he redid the interview. I'm guessing too that it was originally planned for us to see the tattoo then. It seems like the stunt was supposed to be even worse but they went a different way on some things as there was so much backlash. Maybe Harry was obligated to show off the tattoo back then but he held it off and so we're seeing it now. I think Holivia was 100% a compromise so Harry could do MP, Coachella, express his sexuality more on tour. Would they have agreed to let him do MP without a beard? No, there's zero chance. It would have drawn a lot of attention to his sexuality, and what would the het fans think of him only doing a gay movie? Well it backfired because both movies flopped and I reckon that people might have gone a bit easier on them if Holivia wasn't so hated by everyone. But it made him a lot more famous too, so maybe it wasn't a backfire for them lol. Just so tired of the stunts.
Hi anon,
We're all tired of the stunts. But it is what it is as Louis would say and we can't do much about them. I think it's easier on the heart if you are able to see patterns, and recognise that they are repeating the same things from stunt to stunt and that nothing they do is really new. When we saw him show off his O tattoo i was immediately thinking about Zayns Perrie tattoo and how i'm pretty sure he went to such great lenghts to sell it so he didnât have to drag her around town as much. So we've seen it done before. There's comfort in familiarity.
I agree that it's possible they changed course in regards to Holivia after gauging the reactions. That would be the smart thing to do. I do think the whole Holivia fiasco did take away attention from the movie and cast a shadow over it. I'm not sure if MP flopped (i have no idea how it did) but selling a tragic gay love story with a not so happy ending to the queer community where many still live that reality might be a hard sell. Queer romcoms on the other hand...

Hell yeah I love weird and specific les mis adaptations and fanworks! Iâm gonna be honest this specific description is very vague and doesnât fully match anything I can think of but I can go through a few published les mis adaptations and continuations in case you were thinking of any of these :-)
My first guess is that it might be Chasing a Ghost/Chasing a Legacy by Dorian Ravenscroft? The first book in the series Chasing a Ghost was published in 2019 and is an au sequel to Les Mis where Enjolras, Grantaire, Combeferre and Courfeyrac survived the barricades. In this story Enjolras is a trans man who has married Grantaire and had kids with him in the aftermath of the June rebellion. The story begins with him reconnecting with Combeferre after 8 years. The second book Chasing a Legacy was published in 2020 and follows Enjolras and Grantaireâs kids from the first book as adults. From what I can tell it was a lot more removed from the events of Les Mis and focused more on Ravenscroftâs original characters Camille and Marianne. I think both books were removed from wherever they were available because Ravenscroft was planning on heavily editing and rewriting the story with the intentions of traditionally publishing it but the authorâs blog and all the posts documenting the process have all been deleted so I donât have any way of verifying this ^^â I think theyâre working on their own original novels now completely divorced from Les Mis that are going to be published under a different name.
(actually if anyone does have a copy of CAG that theyâd be willing to part with Iâd be happy to pay or offer a trade for it! I collect obscure les mis stuff including fan made items and since CAG is out of print Iâd be interested in getting hold of a copy đ)
In case anon was thinking of something different or conflated multiple different les mis related stories Iâve made a list of a few others I could think of :-)
Published recently:
The System Divine Series by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell is a ya sci-fi trilogy with the last book being published in 2021. It was traditionally published and the story is Les Mis in space with Cosette, Marius and Eponine as the main characters.
Court of Miracles by Kester Grant was published in 2019 and is the first book in an ongoing traditionally published ya series. Itâs an adaptation of both the jungle book and les mis and the main character is based on both Eponine and Bagheera. Itâs a little bit edgy but I had fun reading it and did a review/summary here! Itâs The One That Makes Valvert Het lol and I had Things To Say about that :-))
A Wish in the Dark by Christina Soontornvat was traditionally published in 2020. Itâs an adaptation of les mis set in fantasy Thailand with child main characters based on Valjean and Javert.
Ebooks and published fanworks:
The Pont-Au-Change series by Arlene C. Harris has four books published with the most recent one Honour being published as an ebook in 2013. Itâs a post-Seine au sequel to Les Mis with Valjean and Javert as the main characters who go on adventures together.
Wolves and Urchins: The Early Life of Inspector Javert by Kelsey Brickl was published in 2017. This story follows Javert from early childhood to 1823 as Brickl attempts to give the character a backstory. I havenât read this one myself but my husband, a fellow Javert enjoyer, has and his response when I asked him if he wanted to say anything about it for this list was to sigh and say âitâs fine I guess??â so a glowing review lmao
Barricades: The Journey of Javert by C.A. Shilton was published in 2013 and is another Javertâs-backstory au book, but this one follows his entire life including his suicide attempt which he survives. It also has Javert fall in love with a childhood friend and author self insert named Michelle lol
A Little in Love by Susan Fletcher was published in 2014 and follows Eponine as the main character. It follows the events of Les Mis from Eponineâs pov and goes into her backstory before meeting Cosette. I think the story also has her reconnect a little with cosette again when theyâre both living in Paris.
Probably not but Iâm including them just in case! :
Cosette by Laura Kalpakian is a les mis sequel novel that was published in 1995 and has become infamous on Les Mis tumblr for a sex scene between Marius and Cosette that is cringeworthy in the original sense
Cosette or The Time of Illusions by Francois Ceresa is another les mis sequel that was published in 2003. The main characters are marius and cosette and honestly Iâm not sure how to explain the plot to this one, maybe look up a summary if youâre interested lol it sounds wild
hi, i was wondering if i could use your knowledge of the fandom for help - i remember hearing about a series of ebooks that were??? kinda fan novels of les mis??? that were still updating or that stopped updating recently, i'm haunted by this but i absolutely cannot find the name or the post where it was mentioned, does that ring a bell to you? also happy new year!
hello anon! the very happiest of new years to you too! đđâ¨ď¸
there have been a few fan novels and retellings published, so these may not be the one you had in mind - but the most high-profile story in recent years has been the scifi/cyberpunky Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell, which is the only fan novel I've personally read a little bit of. people seem to like it from what I've heard, YA isn't really my thing but the first few chapters I read had a lot of interesting concepts!
iirc there was also a canon era novel focusing on Javert that was a bit strange? I heard of one that made Javert a woman and then went full steam ahead with the valvert shipping? I might be conflating a couple of different stories here. I've not been as active in the fandom for the last year or so, so there might also have been some new retelling that passed me by.
paging Sirius @lawisnotmocked who I know has an interest in fan novels, and anyone else who might be able to help anon out!

what are the best fandoms for femdom fics? (directed at you and your followers)
--
For actual fics, I'm not sure. I'd guess some old Natasha fic in MCU or Harry Potter just because of the fandom size.
But for proportion of the fandom that's into femdom, Relic Hunter hands down.
Off-brand Lara Croft/Indiana Jones drags her hapless graduate student through a series of adventures, one step ahead of the other bad Hollywood archeologists. There's some episode near the beginning where Sydney has to sword fight the villain over damsel in distress Nigel. It's an extremely ridiculous show. (Also kind of bad in that 90s way and full of a trillion problematic things I've forgotten like everything else in this genre.)
In general, I see a lot of desire for femdom-y dynamics in fandoms that have an action girl and a cerebral dude sidekick or a woobie guy sidekick: Mad Max Fury Road, Castle, etc. That doesn't always translate into tons of fic with actual BDSM dynamics in it though.
You'll find some in massive hetships like Reylo and all those Hermione ships, but it's generally dwarfed by the more femsub stuff.
F/F femdom is another story, obviously. There's less femslash overall, but once you're looking at femslash, it's easier to find femdom than in most het fandoms IME. I'd try Devil Wears Prada fandom and places like that. Maybe Xena, though people could be big prisses about kink back in the day.
Here's the current AO3 sidebar for the tag 'femdom':
Not surprising. Some of these are fandoms where people care about the female characters a lot. Some are huge. Original Work dwarfs all.

Romaine's HP fanfics on AO3...hmm a few haven't quite made it on there, but will in the future.
Easy reading is damn hard writing. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
Currently these are my Drarry stories (not including drabbles), Scarry (including drabbles), Other Slash pairings, and Het pairings. I will be adding My gen fics, gift drabbles, etc... as I get more time. Most can all be found on AO3 right now but just not organized. :)
Just a quick note about commenting on my fics. I love comments and to engage with my readers. If you have a question, comment, or whatever I'm open to discussion. As long as it's not a flame, I'll usually respond back. I do ask that you read my tags, warnings, and notes as many of my fics contain controversial genres and situations. I don't bite or even claw so feel free to inquire.
Hi! Welcome to my HP fanfic collection. I became an HP fanfic reader in 2005 and then writer in 2006. I took an almost decade break in 2012 but put my toes back into the waters now and then to respond to comments or make a post on LJ. I came back into fandom full force in June 2021 when I signed up for HP_fan_fair. H/D, HPDM, or Drarry has always been my OTP, but Scarry is my second. But I also love to write the rare-pair now and then along with gen short stories. I've separated my fics out by my writing era and then by ship.
All of my fics are individually rated and have warnings. However, we did rate and tag things differently back in the day, so if you think I should add a warning or tag, send me a message. I assure you, there were no bad intentions involved.
My Drabbles can be assumed to be G to PG, unless otherwise noted. I love writing drabbles and I hope that some readers will take the time to look at a few of them. *g*
Most of my stories are now posted on AO3 and are not to be copied to any other site without my permission. (historically they were originally posted on various HP fanfic sites. Majority of H/D were on Hex Files.
As I was a prolific writer back-in-the-day (2006-2012) and then took a very long hiatus (10 years), I'll be listing my current stories first. After that, it will be a mishmash of ships and gen. I hope you find something you like!
Current Stories (with summaries)
(2024)
Drarry (Harry/Draco) & Haphne (Harry/Daphne)
The Azkaban Letters (WIP 2024): This WIP was started in 2007 and picked back up in 2023. It is still being updated. Currently 39/42 chapters (as of 11/27/24).
Summary: Harry and Dracoâs lives are headed in two different directions. One is destined for death or glory, while the other is going to Azkaban. Harry needs answers, and he goes to visit his Slytherin nemesis while being held for trial. The meetings in a barren, white cell changes Harryâs life. He learns the beginnings of his rich family history that had been denied him. And that there's much more to fight for than just ridding the world of Voldemort. HBP compliant.
Note: This fic was started before HPDH was released. It is canon divergent after HBP. This fic has two Main Pairings and both are treated with respect and will have a happy ending. I chose to use AO3's: Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings because of the underage sexual scenes (all are 17 and consensual).
Rating: Explicit Current Wordcount: 295K (estimate: 350K) Warnings & Enticements: Angst, Drama, Hurt/Comfort, Romance, Sexual Content (M/M & M/F), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Canon divergence after HBP, Azkaban, Mental Health Issues, Potter Family History, Potter family Estate, Character Deaths (not major but not minor), Upholding family bloodlines, Wizarding Traditions, Worldbuilding, Magical Theory, Blood and Violence, Wartime Violence, Bisexual Harry Potter
Drarry (Harry/Draco)
What Doesn't Happen in Venice Stays In... (Autumn 2024) written for @hd-fan-fair's H/D Muggle Fair (2024) (self-prompt of Honeymoon gone awry) I started this fic in 2009 and it stayed in my WIP folder until now! Yay for completing works started.
Summary: After a whirlwind year of dating, Harry and Draco are getting married. Never mind that their friends and every reader of the Daily Prophet disapprove of their being together. But ignoring all of them, they believe in each other. Draco, on his part, gleefully takes on planning their honeymoon. The week they were to spend in Venice was scheduled down to the hour. It was perfect, according to Draco. But we all know what happens to the best laid plans. Will their marriage survive the first day? Will friendships with others ever recover? Will there be a happy ending? Of course, there will be, but hold on for the ride.
Rating: Explicit Wordcount: 13.4K Warnings and Enticements: Established Relationship, Implied Sex while using Polyjuice Potion, Ronsy meddling.
Pansmione (Pansy/Hermione)
The Supergrass (Valentine's 2024) written for HP Sapphic's Valentines (prompt Auror/Criminal)
Summary: For the past year, Auror Hermione Granger has been coming monthly to Sister Hildegard's Wellness Emporium (attached to St Mungo's) for her Healer-ordered full-body massage because of work-induced stress and injuries. It was the perfect cover for meeting with the DMLE's main supergrass, Pansy Parkinson, who was now a trained masseuse thanks to the Ministry's Criminal Rehabilitation Act. An Act that Hermione Granger had pushed for through her connections at the Wizengamot. A contractual promise was made to Pansy that after one year, if her information led to the arrests and convictions of wanted Dark Wizards, her court-ordered probationary period of ten years for supporting Voldemort and those that served him, would be reduced to time already served. She would be free from all Ministry restrictions.
Today, Valentine's Day, is their last meeting.
Note: Supergrass is a British slang term for an informant who turns King's evidence, often in return for protection and immunity from prosecution.
Rating: Explicit Wordcount: 6.8K Warnings & Enticements: Auror Hermione Granger, Spa Day, Valentine's Day, Dom/sub Undertones, Informant Pansy Parkinson, Lesbian Pansy Parkinson, BAMF Hermione Granger, Bisexual Hermione Granger, Plot with a little porn, One guess on who is seducing who.
(2023)
Drarry:
More Than A Legend (Christmas 2023) A Drarry Christmas Story
Summary: Harry volunteers to be Father Christmas at Hogwarts, without truly understanding what it entails.
The first 5 chapters of this fic were written in 2009. I finally completed the final 2 chapters in 2023. In addition, the amazing Ihopeyoustaysafefromharm Illustrated this fic (FTH). This fic is a lot of fun and filled with Father Christmas Cheer!
Rating: Mature Wordcount: 18K Warnings & Enticements: Romance, Explicit Language, Sexual Content, Christmas Legend, Mentions of: Animal Sacrifice, Slavery, and Prostitution. Liberties taken with historical accuracy of Christmas' origins.
Terminal Lucidity (Autumn 2023) written for hd_career-fair
Summary: Harry leaves his Auror position when his dreams drive him to a new profession. One that brings peace to the soul before Death arrives.
This is one of my shortest but probably on of most impactful fics. It was written for gnarf and deals with caring for someone at the end of their life (not Harry or Draco). Harry is the Master of Death.
Rating: Gen Wordcount: 3.2K Warnings: MCD. Enticements: Harry and Draco become a couple later in life. In this fic, they are probably in their early 50s and have merged their families. The whole family will miss their beloved Nana Narcissa.
(2022)
Drarry
The Roommate (Winter 2022) written for @hd-erised
PODFIC of the Roommate, (Autumn 2024) narrated by the fabulous Cailynwrites (AO3). Honestly this is a gem. 4 1/2 hours.
Summary: After one year in Azkaban and two years of home arrest, Draco is going off to college. Myrrdin College is Oxfordâs magical college, where one Harry Potter is currently attending. Both are going for their teaching certificates with Draco specialising in Potions and Harry in Defence Against the Dark Arts. The Headmistress has insisted all incoming professors must be degreed. However, the Board of Governors insist that Draco also must live in a Muggle house with limited allowance and take Muggle elective courses before he can become Hogwarts' new Potions Professor. Harry is coerced by others into helping Draco Malfoy survive in the Muggle world.
This is a soft fic. I wouldn't say fluffy as there are major subjects discussed and dealt with but angst between the two is not present. Harry's goal is to make Draco fall in love with the Muggle world...and he might have succeeded to well. So wrap yourself up in the warm blanket of The Roommate, oh and Scamp the cat, too!.
Rating: M Wordcount: 42K Warnings: This fic contains a brief fatphobic comment, implications of past food insecurity, and references to past corporal punishment of a child. In addition, mentions of Trichotillomania and lice are briefly discussed. Enticements: Scamp the cat, Draco learning about Muggle appliances, Blaise insisting Draco watch Legally Blonde.
Eight Days a Week (Summer 2022) written as a chapter fic...just because.
Summary: This is foremost a love story and second it's about those growing up years. Becoming adults with adult lives and adult decisions. Yes, Harry's a Trainee-Auror and Draco's a Healer-in-Training after the war. Yes, Harry eventually moves into 12 Grimmauld Place. And, yes, attraction happens between Harry and Draco and they fall in love, but then there's more. Draco is now free from Voldemort, free from fear of going to Azkaban, free from his Father's beliefs, and free to be the person, the witch, the woman she always felt she should be. And for Harry, itâs time to lose the shackles of his childhood and discover who he really is and whatâs truly important in life. This story begins one year or so after the Battle at Hogwarts and follows their relationship faithfully for two years. The final chapter will take place later in their lives.
This is a positive transition story without body dysphoria, but will contain moments where prejudice and slights arise. This story is categorized as M/F.
Rating: E Wordcount: ~120K Warnings: (Tranfem- Draco, Transition. See story for complete listing but no majors.) Enticements: Healthy relationship, gender euphoria, pansexual!Harry, Interesting OCs consisting of International Aurors.
25 Days of Draco and Harry (2022) (25 Holiday Scenes for Eight Days a Week (December 2022). sponsored by @slythindor100
Summary: The holiday scenes cover 2001-2023 followed by a future scene. The majority are under 500 words, but there are a few over 1K. The complete set is very family oriented as we learn more about the children's backgrounds and how Harry and Libby cope. Lots of fun!
Threesome: H/G/D
Every Cottage Has A Story (March 2022) written for Salt and Pepper Fest 2022
Summary: Harry and Ginny Potter live in a cottage in Hogsmeade. The previous owner was their eldest son James Sirius Potter, but he now lives in the home he grew up in, 12 Grimmauld Place. The switch happened years before, when his third child came along, and the cottage was too small for the family and Grimmauld Place was too large for his parents. How Draco Malfoy fit into his parents lives he wasnât quite sure. James did know that his brother and brother-in-law were the instigators of the situation, though. When they became friends in the House of Slytherin, eventually their parents did too. After the death of Astoria, Draco was known to bring a friend, always a different friend, to family occasions. Then after a decade or so he would just show up alone. When his parents moved into the Hogsmeade cottage, so did Draco Malfoy. Rating: Gen Audience Wordcount: 5.5K Warnings: Threesome F/M/M
(2021)
Home is Where the Cat is (Winter 2021) written for @hd-erised. Gift for @m0srael
Summary: Itâs summer and the war is over. Harry is busy in Auror training, attending Wizengamot trials for Slytherin classmates, and having tea with Narcissa Malfoy. Draco is at Hogwarts sharing deep dark secrets with classmates whilst helping with the reconstruction. Someone on the Wizengamot doesnât think the older Slytherin students should be allowed to return to Hogwarts, whilst Harry does. Repressed emotions get the better of him. After storming out of the Ministry swearing never to come back, but before he lifts his wand for the Knight Bus outside of the Leaky Cauldron on his quest for a normal life, thereâs a kiss in the Slytherin boysâ dormitories. Rating: Explicit Warnings: Nothing Major Word count: 41447
A/N: This was so much fun to write. It might be the softest of the longer fics I've written but I wouldn't say fluffy as serious concepts are dealt with. It does feature a purring Draco...literally.
This Ain't the Garden of Eden (Autumn 2021) written for@hd-fan-fair (career edition).
Summary: In 2020, Hit Wizard Harry is starting to enjoy his life. Heâs divorced, and no longer Head Auror. His biggest project these days is trying to remodel 12 Grimmauld Place for him and the kids. Draco Malfoy is recovering from his wifeâs death. But is happy with his Ministry position as Temporary Head of the Department of Intoxicating Substances, and with his son who he adores. This all changes quickly when Minister Shacklebolt decides not to run for another term. The assumption is that 'all is well' in the British Magical world, and that Hermione Granger-Weasley will easily be voted in as the next Minister for Magic. However, Draco knows better. He knows she has a strong competitor who is wooing those who live in Knockturn. And if he wins, the Ministry, and all that has been accomplished the previous twenty odd years, will be destroyed Rating: Explicit Warnings: Nothing Major. Some Violence and Minor character death (Hey Harry is a Hit Wizard). Oh and Draco has a thing for silk lingerie Word count: ~131,000
A/N: This is an action/political/adventure/romantic fic. It's epilogue compliant and takes place in 2020 and 2021. In other words...H/D are a bit older. Kingsley and Narcissa play special roles along with some worldbuilding for Knockturn and Grimmauld Place. Enjoy!!!
25 Days of Harry Draco 2021 (Additions to This Ain't the Garden of Eden) (Winter 2021) This was sponsored by@slythindor100 A/N: These 25 additions to This Ain't the Garden of Eden cover the missing days in the month of December along with one New Year's Day story. They are individually rated but the majority are G. As the Main Story was way too long for a fic fest (LOL), there were some plot points (most minor but a few major) that I didn't resolve at the end. So the 25 Days of H/D gave me the format to wrap things up. The additions range from 100 to 1500 words. So much fun!
Fics (2006-2013) (Summaries not included)
(chronological order of latest to earliest. Except Sequels are listed right after the originals.) Some fics I've added the original fest posting links. This is more for me so I don't lose track of them. Most of these stories were re-betad after the fests as my grammar was quite poor and my betas rushed.

Harry/Scorpius
*All of my Scarry has Scorpius as an adult)*
For these 2 fics, I've added the original fest posting links. This is more for me so I don't lose track of them. These stories were re-betad after the fests as my grammar was quite poor and my betas rushed. However, it's fun to have the original comments.

Eternal Glory Harry/Cedric (February 2008) Written for HPValensmut for eliminate. Rating: Explicit Word Count: 12K Summary: Five years after the war, Harry finds that the future laid out for him is not one that he wants, but is the one that the wizarding community needs to ensure the peace. The answer to his problems comes to him in his dreams. Enticement: This is HPDH compliant. Warning: suicide attempt Note: This was my first adventure into bloodplay and as requested this is not a romantic story. I gave the warning suicide attempt as it was closest to the warning of suicidal themes, which is what I would have chosen.

Don´t know if it can be used as an origin story but somehow I want to share with you as you were my 1st blogger I followed when I transformed myself from het solo harrie to larrie. I went through some old conversation with my former friend with who I used to share my love for H as we both were solo het harries (she still is imo but I´m not talking with her anymore). And oh my, what a now-cringe journey it was. The funniest part is when back in 2022 aka during the peak of holivia she sent me couple of printscreens from here where you - larries and harries who could see through holivia bs - were hating on her and what a suprise to find out after 2 years that one of the printscreened ask was from Daisie´s blog. So I had to found the context why the hell she sent me printscreen from the larrie blog when she totally ate holivia (and I´m sure she still thinks they were really dating lol but I will never find out ´cause she blocked me everywhere after being honest with her) and adored O as a person. Oh and what I found is golden and I am so embarassed of my reaction. So - she was curious why literally everyone hates that woman and so she sent me those printscreens as an example how hateful H´s fans can be and writing me that "idk why would H has a need to fake date her but it´s true that he´s never aknowledged this relationship but idk who would kiss and hold hands with someone when not actually dating that person. Anyway I find this hate towards her so embarassing". And oh my, my reaction was the stupidest - I sent her a printscreen from some random tabloid article stating how much in love H is because...what tabloids are writing is definitely truth, right? God, I´m so happy how much progress have I made from those times. And I would never be this person without you and other larries around who could see through the bs through years!
Hi, sugar. It's so eye-opening to realize that PR exists and that almost everything we see of celebrities exists to sell a specific narrative. It also can be really hard to accept. I'm so glad you decided to be open-minded instead of doubling down. I've spoken to quite a few former het-harries who admitted to being really willing to let go of their fantasy version of him even though they knew, deep down, that things weren't adding up.
I came into this fandom fully thinking he was straight and that H*ylor and Hendall were real relationships. LOL! So, you definitely are not the only one who needed an education! Glad to have you here!

hi sabine!! i was just wondering what drew you into the fandom, and what converted you into a larrie? hope you have a great day!
I looove origin stories.
So here is mine, I was veeeery bored stuck in home office back in 2020. With the world being extra shit, struck by the pandemic and well Trump pissing me off daily, I leaned into watching my favorite Late Night shows like those with Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, James Corden. I watched everything that had the potential of lifting my spirits.
So I ended up with a whole bunch of carpool karaoke videos. Including both of Harryâs.
About my background back then: I didnât know anything about One Direction. I knew Harry from his first album which I listened to back in summer 2017. The album hit home in many ways but especially with my own melancholy I felt at the time (going through some stuff in 2017) HS1 had become my soundtrack and Harryâs voice became a soothing companion at the time. For that, he will always have a special place in my heart. But truthfully lyrically his album made no sense to me. Harry in general made no sense to me. I didnât feel closer to him listening to his album, because to me the songs had a maturity Harry himself didnât really incorporate for me. Wasnât he pulling left and right, dating It girls and influencers, definitely no one who seems to be interested in serious commitment. Yet he sang of love with such knowledge and depth that I thought he definitely had some help writing the songs, or they werenât his own altogether. I was what I would call gp for years and no one can tell me going into this fandom, that marketed het Harry makes sense. Because Iâve been there. He doesnât.
After watching Harryâs carpool karaoke, the One Direction carpool karaoke came up next and I think around the time YouTube recommended a Larry video. I thought it was just some cute fan video from One Direction days but I understood from the title that Harry and this always grumpy looking dude (wasnât that the guy with the oops baby?) were made a fan favorite friendship or whatever? I really only clicked because it had over a million views. I only clicked because I thought I was oblivious to a very known thing. I was. And holy shit, NOW Harry made sense. NOW I understood HS1. It was like a veil was lifted from my eyes and I was somehow finally allowed into Harryâs world. When I saw Louis through Harryâs eyes, I fell just as much for him. So here we are now.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks to @sorakazeno for tagging me!
How many works do you have on AO3?
222! (Keeping in mind that I've been writing fics for over twenty years at this point.)
Whatâs your total AO3 word count?
1,747,556
What fandoms do you write for?
Yuri!!! on Ice and Sailor Moon are my main fandoms at the moment, but I've written for Kaleido Star, Fruits Basket, Card Captor Sakura, Princess Tutu, Someday's Dreamers, Harry Potter, and Fire Emblem in the past. Oh, and a Sailor Moon/Super GALS crossover.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
"Midnight Magic" (Card Captor Sakura) - 401 (Somehow!)
"No Longer Alone" (Kaleido Star) - 164
"One Kiss" (Sailor Moon) - 146
"Realization" (Sailor Moon) - 144
"Welcome to the Family" (Yuri!!! on Ice) - 135
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, I at least try to thank people for reading and enjoying the fic!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably "Do Not Cry For Me", my Mercury/Zoisite Silver Millennium ficâŚor maybe "Salvation", an AU Chibi-Usa/Helios vampire fic? I might personally give a slight edge to "Salvation", just because C/H is my OTP!
Whatâs the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Happiest? Man, that's a hard question! I honestly don't know. UmâŚmaybe "Double Blessing", where JJ and Isabella find out that not only have they been approved to adopt a little girl from China, Isabella has finally gotten pregnant after dealing for years with unexplained fertility. That's pretty happy!
Do you get hate on fics?
On occasion. Bound to happen when you've written as much and for as long as I have.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, I do, even though I'm asexual myself and have no real-life experience! I've written all kinds: het, m/m, w/w, even a few threesomes.
Do you write crossovers? Whatâs the craziest one youâve written?
Generally, no, but I did write one a long time ago, the aforementioned Sailor Moon/Super GALS fic. I also toyed with the idea of a Sailor Moon/Witch Hunter Robin crossover, but that never went anywhere.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, twice. The first one was in the days of A Sailor Moon Romance. I've forgotten which fic it actually was, but I remember it was funny because the summary and my story did not match at all, and I might not have even caught them if I wasn't a Minako/Yaten fan and checked it out because the summary sounded interesting! (The stolen fic was not M/Y. Knowing me, it was probably C/H.) The second fic is probably still up at FF.net since the site's pretty much unmoderated nowadays. They took my fic "Daddy's Little Girl" and just changed the names to turn it into a Gundam Wing fic.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, someone translated my ficlet "Snip, Snip" into Russian.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not exactly, but back in the day, SuperKateB adopted a fic idea I had (with permission, of course) and credited me as her co-writer, even though I didn't do any of the actual writing. I just came up with the initial plot -- an unsigned love letter making the rounds between various Sailor Moon characters, leading to a bunch of misunderstandings -- and offered some suggestions. I think I may have beta'd it, too? (I think it was called "Love Chain"? I don't know if it's still posted anywhere online, though.)
Whatâs your all time favourite ship?
It's a tie between Chibi-Usa/Helios and Otabek/Yuri!
Whatâs a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
"Metamorphosis", which is a Helios origin story exploring how he became priest of Elysion.
What are your writing strengths?
Characterization, maybe?
What are your writing weaknesses?
Oh, descriptions, without a doubt! I suck at writing descriptions.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Okay with me, as long as the meaning can be reasonably inferred.
First fandom you wrote for?
Sailor Moon
Favourite fic youâve written?
I can't really decide between "To Be By Your Side" (Sailor Moon, Chibi-Usa/Helios) or the "It's Complicated" series (Yuri!!! on Ice, which features Ace!Yuri and Otabek in a queerplatonic relationship and Otabek/Mila in a sexual, romantic relationship, resulting in my favorite OT3.)
I'm not going to tag anybody, but feel free to do this if you want!
