#ii darkfic tw

[ilovethetalkingclock]

Deep in the woods, Suitcase uncovers an enigmatic sapient artifact: A talking tooth known as the Fang of Lycaon. The Fang promises that when it is in their grasp, they will be able to enact the perfect revenge on those who wronged them. Suitcase is very intrigued, but will they be willing to go as far as the Fang wants them to?

Expected from me? Yes, I won't deny that. Expected for an II darkfic in general? I don't think so.

I've noticed a surgence of II darkfics and it motivated me to work on my own, giving Suitcase a chance for a revenge story with the twist based on old werewolf myths that rather than shifting bones and growing hair, they would shed their skin to reveal their lupine form. Combine that with a talking suitcase and BAM! Perfect idea!!!

Coming soon, hopefully!

2021 Summer Writin' Challenge Round-Up

So many thanks to @magpiefngrl for making this fabulous challenge happen! I had such a blast and learned so much. Thank you very much to my wonderful beta readers, alpha readers, and cheerleaders throughout July and August: @onbeinganangel, @hogwartsfirebolt, @sweet-s0rr0w, @softlystarstruck, @babooshkart, booktopus, and @p1013. I'm wrapping up the last post in the series a little early as I'll be away next week. Each fic is 1k! Find them in the series here, or at the links below the cut.

I. Let It Come to Them | T | No Archive Warnings Apply

Prompt: The Weaver • Trope: Only One Bed • Craft: Outsider POV • Object: A silver bracelet • Genre: Fluff

From her position at her loom, Narcissa caught her son's lover slipping in through Draco's bedroom window.

II. By Merlin's Hand, Save Him | T | Minor Character Injury

III. The Pleiades Were Watching Too | M | TW: Major Character Death

Prompt: A Bonfire • Trope: Found Family • Craft: Future Tense • Character: A tattooed old lady • Genre: Angst

A house. A marriage. A love story. He'll pour every memory out, vial by vial, back into the earth. It's easier that way.

IV. Aftermath of an Accidental Bond | T | No Archive Warnings Apply

Prompt: His Hands • Trope: Accidental Bonding • Craft: Second Person POV • Character: A Shapeshifter Poet • Genre: Humor

When you took the Mungo's third shift, you knew there would be weird shit. You just didn't expect to find the most recognizable face in the Wizarding world shoved into a hospital cot beside Draco Malfoy.

V. Siren Call (It's Not Love) | E | No Archive Warnings Apply

Prompt: Salt • Trope: Getting Back Together • Craft: Unreliable Narrator • Object: A Gilded Mirror • Genre: Smut + Feelings

They were both too stubborn to lose the deposit on the stupid rental sailboat after the break-up, so now they're here in close quarters with one bunk.

VI. I Demand a Soft Epilogue | M | Psychological Thriller & Unreality

Prompt: The Forbidden Library • Trope: Identity Porn • Craft: Metafiction • Character: A Runaway Teen • Genre: Thriller/Darkfic

There was something about the building that called to him, and ignoring his better instincts, Harry had to go inside. What harm could a library do to him, anyway?

Prompt: The Power's Out • Trope: Hurt/Comfort • Craft: First Person POV • Object: A Photograph • Genre: Hurt/Comfort

He's going to saving the Wizarding world again, they both know it, and Draco will hold him when he shakes and wash away the blood and tell him he's still a good man.

VII. Every Day and Forever Too | E | No Archive Warnings Apply

Prompt: Silver Lining • Craft: Story within in Story • Character: A Vampire Professor • Genre: Smut + Feelings/Romance

It's been a few years since Draco ran into the vampire who changed everything, but he'll still barely touch Harry. "I won't be able to stop drinking," Draco swears. "I couldn't risk your life." So they'll do it like this instead and maybe it's good in a different way.
