#hp poly story

[seraphimfawn-fallen]

A ship of mine I drew | Together HP

To think that just a year ago I was bat-shit terrible at drawing yet I don't know what happened and somehow my hands decided to just go flip a switch and say "Yeah we've just been lazy for the past 10 years sorry" Well thanks a lot that's very reassuring jerks! Anyways, these three are (Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy and Lavender Nakazawa)

Ship name: Drarrender (Drarry, Dravender, Harender)

Draco is on the right, Harry in the middle and Lavender on the left.

I'm legit so proud of this fr tho.

ABOUT ME!

Hey, y'all! I'm Emi, my pronouns are she/they, and I'm bi. This is a safe space for everyone!!

I am in the Marauders, PJO, HP, RWRB, and HOO fandoms (former DSMP fan, would always love to discuss).

hi! saw your recent hp chart, was wondering if you're interested in doing a Severus snape one? no worries if not, I understand he's an unpopular character :)

This is self-made. Date: 01.10.2024

Here you go!

I don't think Snape is an unpopular character at all! In fact I think he's rather popular with fans.

I was however really sure that the top ship was gonna be Snape/Hermione and... it's Snape/HARRY? What? I spent ages in that fandom and although I've never been a Snape shipper personally I feel like I saw so many Snape/Hermione stories... Guess I was wrong. Also can't believe that Snape/Lily is so unpopular.

I assume no guarantee or liability for the completeness, correctness and accuracy of this chart despite my best efforts.

Includes fanfictions in all languages available, NOT English only. Includes all fandoms on Ao3 connected to "Severus Snape".

Poly ships were included.

Percentages were rounded up or rounded down to natural numbers for easier comprehension.

More charts will follow.

Want to have a chart for different pairings, headcanons etc. in your favourite fandom? Send me an ask!

You said: "I usually go to other ships for my spicy smut". So, if not Drarry, where do you go? Please share your treasures. 😃

Hehe don’t mind if I do ;) I’m always revisiting my favorite age gap and Weasleycest fics, there’s a lot of great spicy stuff for ships I love like Dralbus, Sirry and Hardy (big shoutout to @lqtraintracks for their endless contributions over the years 🙏🏼). When it comes to PWP it really pays off to be a multishipper, plus I really enjoy the occasional straight smut (mainly age gap, although Gin/Ron is a personal fave 🔥) so it’s really not hard to find something that ticks my boxes.

As for other fandoms, I’m not super familiar with SPN/SPN RPF but definitely recommend it for A+ smut, I’ve linked a couple recs on this list. I’ve read tons of MCU fics back in the day and I did a Peter/Tony smut reclist in 2020 - some of my favorite goodies are in there. Finally, I’ll never deny a good poly/triad/gang bang smut, the more the merrier! I’ve really been into cuckolding lately (M0stlyVoid wrote a fabulous Drarry/Blaise one) and I’d love to see more of it in the HP fandom, but maybe that’s a bit too niche?

Anyhoo, I guess it all depends on what brand of smut interests you, I’m very much in touch with my feels when it comes to Drarry but reading smut with ships I’m not emotionally attached to can be quite fun and liberating, especially short fic. The beauty of being a multishipper is that you might get different things out of different fics, and each story serves its own purpose. What about you, any favorites to share?

[lumosatnight]

22 FIC RECS 2022!

There have been some fantastic fics this year. Out of the hundreds that I've read (yes, hundreds) here are some of my favorites!

🌼 - fluff | 💔 - angst | 🔥 - smut

—

💫 Drarry 💫

1. help yourself and refuse to be buried by Ingi [Drarry, G, 3k] 💔 🍰 A heartfelt story about food and magical cooking! Master of Death Harry connects with his family and his Indian heritage after the war (and also with Draco ahem).

2. Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants [Drarry, E, 36k] 🌼 🔥 If you enjoy slag Harry with a heart of gold trying to woo his way into Draco's pants, then this fic is for you. Did I mention it's regency era?

3. facedown on my bed (thinking of you) by @onbeinganangel [fem!Drarry, M, 10k] 🌼 💅 A super sweet college AU fic in which Drarry end up being unlikely roommates. They still remain in character while being genderswapped!

4. Good Boy by @lqtraintracks [Drarry, E, 15k] 🔥 🐺 HOT WEREWOLF SMUT!!! Everything you could possibly want with a fic like this. Size kink, breeding kink, scenting, knotting.... um, hell yeah!!

5. An Emerald In The Sky by @corvuscrowned [Drarry, M, 7k] 💔 ⏳ Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Time travel fuck buddies to lovers with Unspeakable Harry. A love story for the ages. Crow, you continue to amaze me with your fics.

—

💫 Common Ships 💫

6. Industry by charlolwut [Wolfstar, G, 22k] 🌼 📷 Sirius Black is a Muggle TV producer. Remus is his editor. Secrets, misunderstandings, and hilarity ensue!

7. oops I did it again by Anonymous [Jily, E, 16k] 🌼 🔥 College AU where James and Lily are accidental fuck buddies and Lily is confused about it. Their dynamic is flirty and combative! I love James so much in this.

8. The funny thing about grief and time by @etalice [Snarry, E, 44k] 💔 🫂 This fic is flipping fantastic! The angst is glorious, the setting is gorgeous, the interactions are beautiful. Time travel and loneliness wrapped into one amazing story!

9. a mass of fools and knaves by @displayheartcode [slash!Romione, T, 2.6k] 🌼 📖 Short but sweet. Male Hermione is instantly drawn to Ron and how they grow together throughout the years. You'll be rooting for them the whole time!

—

💫 Rare Pairs 💫

10. Growing Teeth by @earlybloomingparentheses [Flonks, E, 2.6k] 💔 🔥 This is a story about growth and recovery and fucking. This is also a story about hair and cutting it all off to finally feel free. Fantastic characterization!

11. Crown Enterprises by @storyof-eden [Cissamione, E, 3k] 💔 🔥 I cannot get over this fic!! Mob boss Narcissa and assassin Hermione are the murder lesbians of my dreams.

12. Little Old Witch by @anxiousgoat-blog [Aragusta, G, 12k] 🌼 👶 This is an AU I can get behind 1000%! Augusta Longbottom finds out Harry is being abused and raises him herself. With the help of the friendly neighborhood squib :)

13. Extraordinarily Ordinary by starstruck1986 [Sirron, E, 9k] 💔 🔥 This ship came out of nowhere, but once I read this fic I couldn't unsee it. Ron is just the right amount of innocent and insecure to be taken in by Sirius's charms.

14. Courtship Rituals by @impishtubist [Cedrarry, T, 4k] 🌼 🌹 Cedric tries to court Harry, but of course he's oblivious. This is cute and hilarious!

15. Yes, Minister by iamisaac [Kingco, E, 1.5k] 🔥 👔 This is pure filthy smut between Draco and his minister boyfriend. Hop aboard the Kingsley/Draco ship where there's mind-blowing sex and that sweet sweet age difference!

16. Gyre and Gimble by eldritcher [Drarity, M, 3k] 💔 ☀️ A stunning fic from one of my hands-down favorite authors! Draco is drawn to the prisoner in the manor's basement. Charity is perhaps a little mad.

—

💫 Poly Ships 💫

17. A Life Worth Remembering by @writcraft [Snarryaco, E, 23k] 💔 🔥 Memory loss, de-aged Severus Snape, and established Drarry pulling him into the fold. This fic is such a wonderful dive into polyamory and relationships.

18. Terms and Conditions by @maraudersaffair [Linnansy, E, 8k] 🌼 🔥 Pansy can't get over her ex (Ginny) and is stuck on a trip with Ginny's new girlfriend (Luna). This fic made me laugh, swear, and sweat all in one sitting.

19. Slice of Pleasure by @misdemeanor1331 [Bleonsy, E, 5k] 🔥 🔪 Theo is obsessed with knives, Pansy is obsessed with Theo, and Blaise is just there for a good time. Knife kink and hot smut. Like very hot. Very very hot. But also sweet.

—

💫 Gen 💫

20. Nine Hundred and Twelve by @cannibalschism [Fred & George, T, 5k] 💔 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 This fic is filled to the brim with metaphors, friendship, and life lessons. I absolutely loved this take on time travel and the journey that George takes. Percy is the real MVP!

21. Where You Belong by blue_string_pudding [Severus, T, 6k] 💔 🐀 This is probably the creepiest, most unsettling thing I've ever read. I completely ADORE it. But I was definitely checking around corners after reading it.

22. Family Legacy by @thistlecatfics [The Tonks, T, 2k] 🌼 💔 Following Ted, Nymphadora, and Teddy as they navigate life and queer identity. This is a fic that is so wonderfully poignant, it leaves you in awe of all that it accomplished.

—

💫 Bonus fics! 💫

Here's a WIP I'm excited about for 2023!

One More to Love by @krethes, @theresthesnitch [Wolfstarbucks, E, 94k, WIP] 🌼 🔥 Omegaverse and surprise pregnancy! The sexual chemistry between the three is off the charts! I'm not usually into WIPs, but for this I am (im)patiently waiting for every update.

Also a cheeky self-rec because why not?

What is this, fucking Jeopardy? by @lumosatnight [Drarry, E, 20k] 🌼 ❓Cursed Draco meets Curse-Breaker Harry. Lots of misunderstandings, humor, oblivious boys in love, and talking in circles. Will Draco ever be cured? Was the author in hysterics while writing this?

My 2021 list, b-day oneshots, WLW Library

[thedrarrylibrarian]

Several people have been kind enough to let me publish their thoughts on fandom, community, and queerness to celebrate Pride in the Library. Today's piece comes from @lqtraintracks.

I got into fandom a long, long time ago, way back before I found HP in 2012. My early days in another fandom (days meaning years) are not a time I want to revisit, even though it started out really good. I got to explore my sexuality for the very first time there. I met my first gf there. And those things were beautiful, for sure; they were just short-lived. After a couple of years, I met an abuser, and from then on my fandom life was predetermined by them—what I could and couldn’t read, could and couldn’t write, who I could and couldn’t form friendships with, etc. And even in the midst of that, there were those friendships that bolstered me. @elrhiarhodan, I’m looking at you.

But after 13 ½ years of that… I found HP. And I found a wonderful person who would change my life. I met Shelly / @unmistakablyoatmeal. For the first time in a very long time, I saw someone writing queerly and freely, who, far from being limited to one pairing for life, was writing all kinds of pairings (and threesomes), dynamics, and stories! I was so powerfully drawn to that freedom, and to her, and in no small way, she and this fandom are why I survived, and how I escaped and started to change my life and reclaim it as my own. 

I’ve met so many wonderful people here, many of whom have become close friends, my best friends. I’ve been writing all the queer smut my little queer heart has desired for many years now, and it’s been beyond amazing.

But something changed for us a few years ago, and our community hasn’t been the same since. The person who wrote the canon turned on us. She revealed herself to be all kinds of monstrous. 

There were clues, of course—the antisemitism inherent in her Goblins, the fat phobia, the queer baiting without any actual rep, the racism and ignorance shown in naming Cho Chang, etc. We knew but maybe we didn’t want to know. And being white and not Jewish, I lived under an umbrella of privilege that meant I didn’t have to see it until other people began pointing these things out to me.

But then the transphobia started. And kept going. And it became her platform. And it got worse, and worse, and fucking worse

As painful and horrific as that has been, it seems to have done what that sort of vile bigotry has always done though: It’s shown us that we are and will always be stronger, wiser, more loving, and ultimately undefeatable. I’ll speak for myself: I wasn’t writing trans characters before. I was afraid I’d get it wrong. JKR’s evil bullshit is what pushed me to get over myself. 

This fandom is where I have learned the most about the queer community I love. It’s where I’ve truly learned to write. And it’s where I’ve learned about facets of queer life I’d never connected to properly before out of the fear of trying. 

Here’s what I’ve learned: Bloody no one comes together like we do! No one supports one another like we do! We’ve forged a stronger bond because of some terf’s hate, and I feel closer to my fellow queer creators than ever.

This fandom, you beautiful people, have taught me so much, continue to teach me so much. I’m honored to share this space with you. Happy Pride to all you gorgeous people being your trans, nb, fluid, ace, bi, pan, poly, intersex, queer, powerful selves.  Thank you from the bottom of my little queer heart. I love you.

Thank you, LQ, for joining me in the Library. I love your declaration of fandom as ours, and the recognition that we are a stronger community because of what we've overcome. Thank you for celebrating Pride in the Library with me.

If you want more @lqtraintracks be sure to check out their work on AO3! I just finished reading her Phoenix in the Fire and I was hooked the whole time! I couldn't stop until I'd devoured the whole thing. I think you'll be just as hooked as I was. I also want to throw in how much I loved A Strapping Young Man - I loved reading about Harry's desire for Draco, and how Harry's desire is bolstered by Draco's confidence.

🏳️‍🌈 Lots of Love and Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

AO3 collection here. mostly ultra rare pairs, gen fic, character studies, and G/T rated fic. all are short <10k-ish reads (plenty of <1k ficlets) - do give them a read if any look interesting!

transports of delight by @swoontodeath (1.7k, G). The Knight Bus meets the Catbus. Sometimes destiny looks a lot like driving in the same direction.

pairing: Knight Bus (Harry Potter)/Catbus (My Neighbor Totoro). come for the crack ship, stay for the autistic stan shunpike. i’m a sucker for outsider POV and this is why — such great opportunity for some unique characterization, which this author took full advantage of here!

-#-

Life of Pye by @houseofhebrideanblacks (9k, E). Augustus Pye sees patients at St. Mungo's.

SUCH a creative unique fic - love it when authors take their deep IRL expertise and weave it into the canon HP verse. as the author put it, for anyone curious about what a nonmagical doctor sounds like writing about what they imagine magical medicine is like, day in and day out.

“It’s Puddlemere versus the Cannons tonight. The cup final.” Pye stopped mid-stride and mid-thought, shoulders seeming to weep under the weight of realisation. “Oh no,” he almost whispered. “Oh yes,” Marge glowered, “and you’re alone tonight, Rupert is off sick.” “Good heavens,” Pye whimpered, his coffee seeming to shrink in his hand, both in potency and relevance. In the waiting room behind him, three blokes hurricaned in chanting “CANNONS, CANNONS, CANNONS,” their unconscious friend slumped and dragged between them. “You know how it is, Pye,” Marge turned and shuffled back to validate the young witch’s national insurance card. Speaking over her shoulder, she finished, “never a dull moment at Mungo’s.”

Strangers In A Strange Land by @sleepstxtic (7.5k words, T). Helga, Salazar, and Godric dock in a strange land looking for the elusive fourth member of their team.

helga/rowena, founders friendship with POC Rowena Ravenclaw and Viking Helga Hufflepuff. CANON NODS and POC REP and FEMSLASH and a wonderful fascinating setting — ticks every single one of my AU boxes. another incredibly inventive and criminally underrated story.

-#-

A Different Truth by @paulamcg (2.8k, G). A week before Halloween 1993, when a colleague appreciates his company, Cuthbert may feel alive, even though he's dead and it's Saturday.

ok this is the last time i will say criminally underrated. canon-compliant POA first person cuthbert binns & remus lupin. this could’ve been slash and i would’ve been sold on it. i love their friendship, bonding over literature (of course) and a walk in the woods (so unexpected, but works so well.)

-#-

Meagre Pieces by @vdoshu (1k words, T). The Muggle-born Registration Commission is announced, and Andromeda feels sick.

The fact that the first Muggle-born Minister for Magic was a great victory for equality . . . one which was never again repeated.

@thistlecatfics’s trans teddy tonks x andromeda is taking over the world and i’m here for it. the political commentary in this. doshu you absolute wizard — you’ve got such range and you nail it every. single. time.

-#-

O let the world come at you, love (currently anonymous) (5k, T). Twelve-year-old Harry tries to figure out his parents' polyamorous relationship with Peter Pettigrew.

the first fic for the peter/lily/james tag on AO3, gifted to me for this year’s rare pairs exchange, and it’s all the wholesome fluff i i could’ve wanted from this ship and more!!! so much poly rep!! background wolfstar+tonks (ish), dorlene+implied others, and just the perfect epilogue 🥰

"Does it bother you that your parents are with Pete?" Sirius asked. "No! I know they're polymers."

-#-

Nirmal by @crazybutgood (2.8k, G).

postwar cho/padma. i ADORE this fic. there are literally LINKS to all the places and foods and songs mentioned, it’s an ENTIRE immersive multimedia experience in 3k words - a beautiful and horrendously underappreciated fic, imo.

hawa paani ka badlaav hona chahiye—A change in atmosphere is often needed to improve one's health or state of mind. Literally, a change in the winds, and the water. Parvati quoted that saying to us one evening last month, suggesting that it would be good for Cho and me. My parents knew that I had been with Cho for just over a year then, and welcomed her to stay with us after the Battle … Cho actually looked interested at the idea and suggested our home countries for a month each. And so, we’re currently visiting Mumbai first, staying in a Muggle area at my Muggle maushi’s place, in July—during the monsoon season.

-#-

a heart the size of jupiter (a smile like the sun) by gghostish (300 words, G, no archive warnings).

linny, epileptic luna lovegood. such a lovely achy hurty little thing ❤️

-#-

métamorphoses by @venom0usbarbie (5k, M). The blood curse took her grandmother. And now, she has to pay the piper if she doesn't want it to take her too.

astoria greengrass-centric, astoria & hermione (gen/possible pre-relationship). this fic wow. where do i begin!! the descriptive writing. the angsty family feels. the way barbie writes the blurring of thoughts and feelings and emotions into physical sensations is harrowingly good. check out everything else by her if you liked this, her style is inimitable.

-#-

wood-rush and wildflowers by @nanneramma (500 words, G). Lily has a secret, and it's time to tell Petunia.

wonderful little canon compliant alternate character POV vignette, gorgeous writing. also reccing this horrorific pansy/tom (ad te omnis caro veniet, 1.3k, M), this gorgeously sad canon-compliant alice & neville (gaps, 300, G), and every single one of nan’s summer femslash double drabbles!

-#-

covered in your ivy by @girl-with-goats (1.5k, M).

smutty BDSM remus/lily with planty metaphors that just work so well for this pairing!

-#-

I Always Underestimate You by @patriceavril (10k, M).

sirius & lily friendship! multi-era, canon compliant, sirius/mary and jily. i love the way patrice characterizes this friendship -- it’s not always easy, and that’s why it feels so earned!

-#-

Madam Smith by @lumosatnight (200 words, G). HOKEY/WINKY! SO charming and sweet and lovely and fluffy.

A Bleak Midwinter by @bluesundaycake (500, T). A Fenrir Greyback character study. feel sorry for baby fenrir thank you bye <3

Pray by @krethes (300, T). A Hope Lupin character study. yes hello hi read and CRY WITH ME

The Prince's Poems by @inmyownlittlecorner5. seven poems, misc formats. this author writes the most enthralling snape, and making it poetry is just !!! unfair. such powerful writing in so few words.

[missmayhemvr]

You know, baulders gate 3 is really a great example of how white leftist is, everything I'm about to say if coming from a bi black trans woman in a poly. It is a game that prioritized the lgbt peoples wants within role-playing spaces, and didn't for a second think of the largest most glaring long term issue of the space of role play and fantasy.

It's rabid racism. Euro fantasy has been entrench in racism atleast since Tolkien put pen to paper to write "the lord of the rings" and potentially longer than that, Tolkien himself stated the dwarves were meant to be his stand in for Jewish people, the orcs meant to be "the mongoloid hordes" (a term that comes start out of eugenics and race science) the humans are meant to be Britain I believe, and if it isn't clear who the elves are idk to tell you considering when the book was written. And when you understand the book in the context and what it was saying you realize some stuff. The unfortunate problem is in the like 100 years since that book it's hardly moved from ww2 era racism, hp the goblins are Jewish caricatures, blood libel the game came out and people twisted themselves into making that supposedly moral to play that game. Dnd was made by a bioesentialist who was super Christian who would in the end import much of the ideas from Tolkien, the idea of evil races, racism and a hard and fast good and evil chart that was influenced by the race of your character, and so much of that and the lack of realizing that they were addressing a real as fuck world event that happened and doing so without ever being like "oh maybe we should allow the player to address the issue oh their party and random npcs being racist as shit to each other, especially in regards to the terror attack that happened"

For those not knowing baulders gate has a story beat where the city with a lot teiflings gets teleported to the hells and teiflings as a whole are blamed for this and are all kicked out. If you know anything about world events a terror attack on a large multicultural city happens and all of one particular group is condemned as a result, is gonna sound a lot like 2001 and the results of 9/11.

Me as a queer person could likely have made it through bg3 easy, me as a black person playing a teifling, who understands that teiflings are very much what the creator of dnd thought of black folks, the references to the one drop rule, who btw presents as a teifling in vrchat because of this. Cannot get through this game that starts you off with just endless hate crimes, against teifling refugees. Especially considering you really can't say or do much in regards to it unless you just wanna fight all the druids. Especially considering that when I picked teifling in the character creator the default character literally just looked like me.

And having this game that these people went out of their way to make sure lgbt people felt seen but had nothing for the poc just feels so much like white leftist. Entirely unwilling to challenge or address racism of the status quo or even within their own spaces that are supposedly friendly to me and an ally to me. And yet when my foot touches the door step all I'm met by is hostility.

MINORS DNI

Hi! This is an incredibly niche fic. I hope you give it a chance, despite it not fitting you to a T. Not only is it queer & poly it's furry, so I get it if not lol.

This is a polyamorous series. I plan to have Law and Reader in several relationships, but they are nesting partners and this fic is focused on Them. The only ship that will be featured in this specific fic is LawBepo/BepoLaw as Bepo becomes very jealous and develops these feelings through the story.

Other ships revolving Law: LawBepo, LawLu, Lawbin, ZoLaw, LawSan

Other ships revolving reader "Omi" (HPs are fwb only): PenOmi, ShachOmi, IkkaOmi, YamOmi, RobinOmi, ZorOmi

Other ships: ZoLu, ZoRobin, ZoSan, Frobin

CHAPTER CWs: Childhood abuse & Assault, Waterboarding, Devil Fruit Force Feeding, Parental Death mention, Sibling Death mention, Law does not appear until next chapter :'(

"If it's hard for you, don't be afraid to show it's hard"

Itu kata-kata Mba Ney, psikolog aku di sesi konseling kami yang pertama sekian bulan lalu. Tapi, tulisan ini bukan tentang konseling kami hari itu. Ini tentang hal lain.

Ceritanya, hari ini ada pasien bapak usia 60 sekian, datang ke Poli Umum mengeluh ada benjolan di leher yang ukurannya hampir sebesar kepalan tanganku. Kukatakan padanya waktu itu kalau beliau harus dirujuk ke Spesialis Bedah. Tapi si Bapak menolak. Sudah ku jelaskan resiko-resikonya, tapi beliau tetap tidak mau dirujuk. Akhirnya kupanggil masuk anaknya ke dalam ruangan, untuk bantu meyakinkan si Bapak. Pertanyaan pertamaku waktu itu ke anaknya:

"Sudah berapa lama Mba, Bapak ada benjolan di leher?"

Si Mba yang sebelumnya main HP seperti ga ngeh sama pertanyaanku. Kuulang lagi, tapi dia juga masih kelihatan bingung. Si Bapak mendesah. Ngeliat ke aku, terus bilang:

"Gatau dia Dok. Baru tau tadi pagi"

Aku ga ngerti, memang ga serumah? Kukonfirmasi maksudnya gimana ke si Bapak, lalu beliau berdecak setelah sekilas melirik ke anaknya, yang masih juga melihat HPnya.

"Dia sibuk sama hidupnya sendiri. Gapernah tau kondisi saya"

Dan si Anak ini, dibilang begitu malah cengengesan. Padahal kutaksir usianya sudah cukup dewasa, mungkin se usiaku. And she was normal, bukan seseorang dengan special condition. Long story short, si Bapak pulang. Tetap tidak mau dirujuk.

Kata-kata si Bapak terakhir tadi, seperti ditujukan ke aku. Dan aku melihat si Mba yang gatau apa-apa tentang kondisi Bapaknya ini, seakan bercermin pada diri sendiri. Jangan-jangan, aku pun juga gatau kondisi Ummi Abi selama ini —padahal kami serumah. Aku terlalu sibuk sama dunia, karena berusaha ngelupain banyak hal dengan kesana kemari di luar rumah.

Ummi kemarin bilang ke aku:

"Ummi tau kamu selama ini nyembunyiin semua perasaan kamu dengan kerja terus kan Kak"

Aku nangis setelah itu. Karena ternyata benar terkaan Ummi tadi, dan kesadaran kalau aku masih belum juga bisa memaafkan diri sendiri.

Tadi pagi aku baca tulisan di tumblr tentang core value. Lalu sadar, ternyata selama ini aku gatau core valueku apa. Apa yang bikin aku semangat bangun pagi, apa yang mau kukejar, aku gatau. Terus balik lagi menyalahkan hal-hal yang sudah terlewat. Gitu2 lagi.

Minggu-minggu ini, lagi banyak mempertanyakan tentang diri sendiri. Selama ini aku selalu ikut maunya Ummi Abi, sampai-sampai sekarang aku gatau sebenernya aku maunya apa. Aku gabisa jawab kalau ditanya mau lanjut apa dan kemana habis ini.

Kangen masa sekolah. Seenggaknya waktu itu aku punya satu tujuan; lulus. Se nyebelin dan secapek apapun dunia koass, aku tetap berangkat dengan semangat walau di motor suka nangis meratapi hidup, haha. Aku, mau sekolah lagi. Tapi........ banyak banget tapinya. Bye~

Engga tau ini ada hikmahnya apa ngga. Kadang aku ngerasa harus ngeluarin apa yang ada di kepala satu-satu, biar ga migrain. Kaya kata-kata Mba Ney di atas. Aku gamau takut lagi mengakui kalau semua ini berat, dan aku capek ya Allah:(

Jadi terima kasih ya sudah baca sampai akhir. Semoga kamu yang baca ini, tau apa yang mau kamu kejar, tau apa alasan kamu ngelakuin banyak hal dalam hidupmu. Besok pagi waktu kamu bangun, kamu bakal semangat memulai hari dan bersyukur atas nikmat yang Allah kasih. Gausa minta kuat terus, capek tau. Minta Allah kasih mudah aja. Biar mau kuat atau engga, kita tetap bisa jalanin dunia yang tipu-tipu ini dengan baik, —dan tentunya benar.

Last, aku mau ulang lagi mantra yang selalu kuingat:

"You're young. You don't know what the future has in store. You will rally, and you will be happy again"

Gnight gewd people:)

[thebestofoneshots]

have you always written for the marauders or did you stumble into it or got inspired or ??? i’m just so curious ☺️

story time with Lils.

I could give a simple answer to this, very short, and all, but I feel like telling the story of how I got into fanfiction so you’ll get a whole textbook instead.

It must have been like 2009 (catch me speaking like an old person), when I was laying in my grandma’s bed, fantasizing about a self insert into Harry Potter (actual Harry Potter mind you I didn’t know the Marauders, nor was my 9 year old self in love with a Sirius yet) and thinking “Gosh wish I could write that… but I can’t because copyright and it’s illegal.”

Fast forward do 2011-2012, THE FACEBOOK ERA, and your girl stumbles into a fanpage that *literally* was all about reader inserts with certain YouTubers I had an unhealthy obsession with at the time. It was then that Lilly discovered ✨the fantastic world of fanfiction✨. And it didn’t stop.

I love reading, but I had always been one to write stories, poems, songs, you name it, I probably wrote it. And so I started writing fanfics as well. First I think it must have been the YouTubers. I also remember reading a Percy Jackson fanfic once, and omg it’s been so long, I don’t even remember the webpage I read it at, but it was like it’s own little blog with its own little colors and stuff, cool shit tbh.

Must have been around 2012 that I started a fanfic of Jack Frost. Yes ladies and gentleman, Jack Frost, he was too cute for 12 y/o Lilly. That one, is absolute cringe if I go back and read it now, but also kinda funny? The reverse harem was so heavy in that one I swear I didn’t even know that was a thing but EVERYONE was inlove with the MC.

Either way, writing longer stories really wasn’t for me back then, so I started writing oneshots. And boy-oh-boy did I love them. I must say “Thank you Bucky Barnes for existing and having me obsess over you.” I must have over 30 one shots written for him. Or more, I have never counted. Some still sitting on my drafts lol.

Then I started writing for Loki and made a small follow along fic of the series, called Time Variant 30578, and I was so proud I finished it (-ish, season 2 just came up and I still have to write for that).

Not that it’s the only thing I’ve finished, I actually wrote a book, it’s a book about a serial-kiIIer, but even if we see his life, the actual unaliving parts are told from the perspective of the victims. Pretty gory, certainly something. But I liked it. That one’s done and sitting in my computer. I still want to find time to edit it and maybe publish it one day, but who knows? Off topic.

Anyway I rewatched SPN and wrote a few shots for one of the loves of my life Dean Winchester. And I have pondered on writing a series for a gender-bend spell type of thing. A short one (but actually short this time, not like GC).

And then, somewhere in between me starting a small business of HP stuff and watching Tick…Tick…Boom! (Which had me obsess over Andrew), and the already smoldering obsession with Ben, I started reading Marauders fics. Discovering the magical world of ✨Poly!Marauders✨

And then I wrote the first part of Gilded Constellations (march this year, probably) and then the second and then the first 12 parts and then I decided to post it and then people showed actual interest?!?! And I kept writing and writing and then I wanted GC to have smut. But I was shit at smut and wanted to practice so The Five Senses was born. After a LOT of research, I kid you not, so much reading fics and even YouTube tutorials lol (on writing guys, that kind of content is NOT allowed on YouTube!). Anyway, writing just solidified my obsession with my boys. And then there was Maraudween, more smut practice but also, I kind of like writing smut at this point? And scary action filled stories??? Right up my ally.

So yeah, in short; I’ve always been a writer, I have always liked Harry Potter and I have been writing fanfics for a while and just recently started writing for the Marauders, but you’re not gonna stop me any time soon.

I like living in my own head, and I love writing stories, and I adore our boys so, you’ll be seeing so much of me you’ll get sick of it lol

Did that answer your question? I feel like one of this teachers that students ask a question to and then tell the entire story of their life. But I feel like I did answer the question.

13 books to get to know me better

Tagged by my sister @jonskory

1. To All The Boys I Loved Before (Series) by Jenny Han- I read after I watched the first movie and completely fell in love. It made my heart flutter in the best way. The books are of course so much better!

2. Legendborn by Tracy Deonn - the first time I ever felt completely represented in a fantasy series. I was blown away with how Tracy tied in Black American culture/history/folklore into an Arthurian tale. Pretty masterful

3. New Camelot Series by Sierra Simone - I love poly ships and these 3 were so magnetic and passionate! Hated the age gap but it made up for it in plot. The twist you never see coming 😭

4. Queen Move by Kennedy Ryan - a beautiful story with childhood friends to lovers with actual adult characters with real life traumas and history that was relatable and sexy!

5. Sinner by Sierra Simone - Shocking but in the best way! Idk what else to say. Read it and prepare to have your jaw dropped.

6. Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Gaudin - Never did I ever think a historical fiction would have me in a grip like this! This story is so good! The sci-fi, the enemies to lovers, the action! It’s all there 😮‍💨

7. Tiny Pretty Things by Dhonielle Clayton - I loved the tension and the stakes of this one! Netflix show butchered tf out of this book it was soo good.

8. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones - This book was intense! But the drama had me by the neck! So many different emotions while reading this. Mildly traumatic but for the most part just beautiful story telling.

9. The Coldest Winter Ever by Sista Soujah - should’ve never been reading this smut at the age I read but it was a wild story with even wilder scenes. The sequel that came out decades later pissed me off because the plot of this was actually good.

10. One of us is Lying by Karen McManus- Good mystery and great ships! Loved the twists and turns and the slow burn ship at the center. Book 2 is not as good.

11. Carry On by Rainbow Rowell - Love everything about this HP inspired wizard romance! Books 1&2 are it… idk what happened with 3!

12. Burn for Burn by Jenny Han - This series was not what I was expecting but it was so interesting and well told with the usual JH sensibilities

13. Permanent Record by Mary Choi - Hardly ever have a plot where the fmc is the star! This was so fun and poetic.

Tagging whoever wants to partake 🥰

[anonforlackofabettername]

A, B, G for any fandom for the asks?

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

I’ve been reading a lot of Tim/Kon lately since I’ve been in a batfam mood and Tim is my blorbo. Core 4 poly is also up there is good shit whether it’s platonic, queerplatonic, romantic, or sexual. It’s not right now but my other batfam ships are Tim+Cass siblings and Tim/Jason romo.

I just started Dunmeshi and yeah I can see why Farcille is good. This too is yuri.

Uhhh *does a quick backscroll through tumblr and my ao3 history* Luke+Leia is just *squeezes* so shaped. There’s a reason they’re both blorbos. Murderbot and Art are in no way romantic and I’m not sure I’d classify them as queerplatonic but god those two are just… look they’re very important to each other and are each others most important relationship but they’re both non-human sentients so it’s hits different in a very non-romo way.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

I mean unless the show or story itself is pitching a ship I tend to need to be convinced. I’m very aroace-spectrum where unless the show is shoving the blorbos together (hello miraculous ladybug love square my beloved) I usually need fandom to hold my hand and explain why the blorbos go together. I think Ez may have sold me on Tristan/Teddy or at least taken it from “I think they’re neat” to “yes yes yes.” A lot of my strongly held shipping beliefs can trace back to someone in fandom going “I care a lot” and me going “hell yeah I’ll join you on this hill.” So yeah. I’m pretty easy to convince but I don’t always get there on my own just from canon itself.

G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

The answer is yeah of course I do, I love shipping. Live and let ship all the way. The problem is that while I believe in one ship above all others I also believe in both polyamory and the inherent joy of the fandom bicycle. So while I may fully believe in Stucky — for example — as soulmates, Steve is bicycle-blorbo shaped and thus I will ship him with anyone a fic or author makes a compelling argument for. Which undermines the whole “one true” part of OTP. Love to hold multiple conflicting OTPs in my heart and know them to all be true. Love even having OT3s.

As for my oldest? 🤔 I’ve been talking a bunch with the gc about Ranma 1/2 and how my gateway into fandom early on was Ranma+Sailor Moon. I’m pretty ship and let ship with SM but I do genuinely like and enjoy Usagi and Mamoru together even though I’m from a fandom tradition that paired Usagi with what seems like everyone else. I guess the early ship that I was like no these two belong together in a romo way and shouldn’t be separated or shipped with other people was Percy Jackson/Annabeth Chase. I’ll vibe with most Harry Potter ships except Drarry but I read HP and PJO at around the same time and was like no these two demigods are meant to be together, do not interfere.

i really want to write more mumu's on discord! i write any gender opposite any gender and am also open to polyamorous pairings.

under the cut you can find some stuff i'd love to write! like this if you're interested!

MUMU PLOTS

let's write some robot x human shit mixed in with alien x human and all of that. set in the year 4000 plus, let's think of what the earth has become? a liberal haven, or very conservative? are there robots who are becoming more and more like humans? have aliens joined the population? what are they like? are there different species? and how do they all interact?

superhero stuff? let's write some villains and superheroes and civilians in a city we make our own. villain falling for hero? heroes hooking up? a person who suddenly discovers their partner is the person on the front page of the newspaper, saving the world. yes.

the earth's population has dwindled during the last few decades as people living a single life has increased dramatically. the world's government has made a very brisk decision to make that population go up and has subjected all people to a dna and personality test before matching them up, in either couples or throuples. we follow people who have been matched and live in a city we create, some have had to move here from another continent and have to adapt and others hadn't expected that their test would determine that they're gay/poly, etc.

a/b/o words are my absolute favorite thing ever. we can create a pack or multiple packs, have them possibly fight or merge. we can have star-crossed lovers, arranged pairings, unusual pairings that aren't accepted by their packs, etc.

give me a group of muses who live in the 1950s! let's have them all be related/connected in some way and let's get those juicy 50s undertones. needing to get married because, whoops, she's pregnant. queer folks that can't come out. greasers vs socs. we can even venture into race relations in those times. trans peeps? let's explore it all.

a royal setting, modern or historic. we can play muses from the royal family, nobility that is in their circle, staff, etc. let's have forbidden and arranged matches, rivalries, and scandals. leggo!

a presidential setting, the president, the first spouse, the staff, all the stress and the intrigue and the tension.

let's have some gang-inspired thingies? rival gangs in a city we create... doing crimes and going wild?

a modern-day mumu that is set in a small town where the links and history goes deep. we can flesh out the connection between each muse (as in what were they like as kids, teens, young adults, etc), and we can have that long history together impact their ongoing stories.

a mumu set in the hp world? maybe we set it in the future, or way in the past - we can even use a hogwarts legacy setting if you prefer - and use the lore but create our own characters. i love aspects of blood purity, also hybrids and all that. can be set at hogwarts, but like... we can create an eighth through tenth year like a college setting or it can be set outside of that.
