“How can you not like Christmas?” Magnus demanded, outraged. “That’s like not liking pizza!”

Alec shrugged. “Take it or leave it.”

Magnus gaped at him. “What?”

“I don’t like Christmas,” Alec repeated, finally looking up from scrolling through notes on the computer. “Is that a problem?”

- Title: Forbidden Author: Anonymous Prompt: - Harry's so powerful and willful, he impregnates Draco simply by his stares - Draco has an arranged marriage that both parties want to escape. The only way for it to be dissolved is: one of them having a child out of wedlock with other person, which is impossible, as majority of Purebloods follow an ancient no-sex-before-marriage rule and widely use a special spell to enforce it on their children since birth. So, the only way for Harry to make Draco his is to impregnate him. The only way to do so is to force his magic to do his job for him. Unspoken. Untouched. No wand. Just pure magic and single-minded intention. Harry just stares at Draco from across the room/hall for 7 days straight, envisioning what he wants and hopes for. Draco feels Harry's intense stares so he stares back every time, every day, unknowingly completes the connection and accidentally grants permission for Harry's magic to integrate with his own to create a child inside Draco. Chaos ensued. Word Count: 15.3 k Rating: Mature [R] Contains: Non-Consensual Body Modification, Forced Pregnancy, Teen Pregnancy, Magical Pregnancy, Discussion of Abortion Spoilers: No Spoilers Marked. Who is pregnant: Draco Notes:

Thanks to Space for the motivation and jd for the beta!

Summary:

When Draco rejects Harry Potter less than halfway through their Eighth Year, he expects that to be the end of things. Instead, Harry chooses to stake his claim. Together, they find their way to the future that awaits them.

mr trashcanwithsprinkles i swear if you don't add cliffhangers we will still come back to read you don't need to resort to such horrible tactics :(((( /lh

genuinely unsure if that even counts as a cliffhanger honestly

like i'm not debating you but still. they're so fun to write;;

[aerodaltonimperial]

so i figured out that i absolutely have to write the whole monsters fic before i post it in order to actually finish writing it, but i hadn't updated my loosey-goosey outline in awhile since i buckled down to really get words in and i pulled it up today and was like oh shit, i'm closer to the end than i thought actually. i was gonna be like damn, it'll be weeks before i can bang this thing out in its entirety, but maybe it won't be that long after all? unsure, i keep adding scenes to the ending. but here's an update lol.

[xo2dee]

thinking about posting my oneshots on here,,, idk what do yall think

Here's chapter 16! The Outsider(Alastor) is a flirt, discoveries are made, identity crises are had - We're all having fun over here. Well except Corvo of course :) Preview below the cut:

After coming down the mountain, it didn’t take long for me to notice that Karnaca is a city of stories. There’s an exhilaration to learning the region’s legends that at this point rivals that of discoveries about my own life.

There are the legendary giant owls that supposedly brought the original Serkonan settlers down from the north. Imposing paintings of them adorn the interiors of cafes and shops, always catching my eye. I've overheard tell of a few specimens on display at the Royal Conservatory, but there’s debate over whether they’re manmade replicas or genuine taxidermy. One day I’ll ask Corvo to accompany me there to see for myself.

Then there’s the Karnacan wives’ tale of the Knocker at the Window. A hairless, pale monstrosity draped in flowing dressage finds children who stay up past dark. It’s attracted to the reflection upon window panes of dull lantern lights hidden under blankets as innocent young ones read stories to themselves in the shadow of night. It serves as a warning to those whose curious minds keep them from sleep. Children wail at the thought of such a beast while adults laugh at the gullibility of their young ones.

Then, of course, there’s that one creature of myth nobody can get off their minds, a being who exists outside of time and space, carrying endless knowledge yet withholding it from mankind in order to enjoy the show of its suffering. The preachers say he’s a temptor, drawing the innocents into the darkness, delighting in the way humans lead themselves to ruin using his gifts. Even average folk say he's a voyeur, watching the sins of all, eyes never blinking, always judging, and dragging the souls of the unpure upon their death to suffer in the Void with him for all eternity.

It’s the Outsider they speak of, of course. And nobody laughs at this story or debates its legitimacy, and there’s no evidence of his life to crudely hang from the Conservatory ceiling.

I now understand quite well how the tragic man-turned-god who I once wept for is perceived by those below his mountain prison. The Abbey have vilified him to the point that his supporters have been pushed into the shadows, their heresy punishable by death. And even those who don’t hate him don’t seem to have love for him either, just a desire for what he can offer. There are whispers of frustration in alleyways, talk of bone charms and runes that don’t quite work like they used to. Magic and connections to the Void sought by those in the shadows are harder to find. The Outsider has forsaken them, they grumble. 

Whether an overseer, gang member, or spiritualist, they all see humanity as victims of the Outsider’s whims in one way or another. His plight doesn’t seem to be a concept explored by this society.

Or so I think.

Corvo and I are on our way home from our short and painfully silent shopping trip when I hear it. It’s quiet at first, distant down the block, echoing softly around the corners of buildings. But as we grow closer, it rings clear as day. 

Music.

Happy Cicero Saturday!!!

Good news chat, there WILL be an update tomorrow!! Mostly because I know if I don't post it soon I'll probably rewrite the whole thing. Again. I can't promise it'll be any particular length (I'm trying to get it to the usual chapter length but like. the writer's block is hitting hard and I just got sick with like. a cold or something), but it'll be more than nothing which at this point is all I can hope for ;-;

On a lighter note, I just wanna say thanks for checking in to you and everyone else who's done so :D

- Title: Three's a Crowd (Four's a Family) Author: Anonymous Prompt: Self Prompted Word Count: 18.6 k Rating: Explicit [NC-17] Contains: Breeding kink Spoilers: No Spoilers Marked. Who is pregnant: The Author has marked the pregnancy as a spoiler. Notes:

thanks to V for inspiring this fic (idc if you remember but we yelled about it in the vc about 3 months ago and it has been rent free in my brain ever since). And of course to M for the amazing last minute beta

Summary:

“I fucking knew it!” Draco rounded on him. “I knew that’s why you were quiet this afternoon, but the Weasel told me I was going crazy!” Harry chuckled. “You trusted Ron on that? Are you mad? The man doesn’t notice someone’s change in mood until they slap him across the face! Do you remember last pub night?” Draco shrugged. “He’s your best friend, excuse me for thinking he knows you well.” “But you” Harry grabbed Draco’s hand and pulled him closer, “are my husband. And I can safely say that you know me better than anyone who has ever walked this earth.” “Oh, stop it.” Draco rolled his eyes, but his blush gave him away, staining pale cheeks as he relaxed into Harry, pressing a quick kiss to his lips. “Anyway, children. Shall we make a cup of tea if we are going to have this conversation?” - A revelation, a bet, an entirely predictable outcome, and the joys of having twins not in the usual way.
