lily and merula

This gets funnier the longer I think about it because, depending on the situation, either text could be either of them.

Lily, though, would 100% look for toads in the mulch just for kicks (and has). ‘Cause Merula knows there’s nothing sexier than a witch chasing after bumpy little hopping creatures by wandlight.

"i don't care about others, Merula"

[that-scouse-wizard]

OC X OC friendships and love stories are so much fun – but tag another creator and tell me about their OC that you love who is NOT a close friend or partner of your own.

Alright, here goes, excuse the fanboying.Tbh there's so many to get through so I apologise if I miss anyone out.

Ravenclaw

First of all Ekaterina "Kat" Solokov by @struckbyelectriclove This quirky cursed weirdo has some of the best angst done by an insanely talented creator. From just how badly her curse effects her to the multiple angst-filled scenarios Charlie has come up with. Her relationship with Merula is also very well done.

Matthew Luther by @hphmmatthewluther I love how Matthew starts as this sweet, shy kid and he stays like that just a bit more confident thanks to Quidditch. To say nothing of the fact that he's an absolute badass when the time calls for it. His relationship with Merula (and the interpretation of Merula's parents as being decent people) makes me root for Luthersnyde 100% of the time.

Adel Young by @adellovesrowan also springs to mind. I love this girl's relationship with Rowan as they grow as friends, fall out and then reconnect later in life.

Freyja Young by @marmotish would it really be an awesome Ravenclaws list without Freyja? I love that she's always got a poker face yet she she still feels emotion. Marmo's artstyle especially makes sure the subtle changes in expression carry that much more weight. While quite flawed, that just makes me love her as a character even more.

Gryffindor

Next is Maca Camillo by @akaryuga I love the future AU for Maca and Merula. In large part thanks to Aka's art style, Maca comes off as a really expressive character and her relationship with Merula is honestly the most adorable one I've ever seen.

Eugene Hope by @witchy-push can I just say, I love how this OC swooped in and stole most of the fandom's heart, my own included. Witchy's art style brings Eugene and the other characters to life in such a unique way.

Verna Malinda by @gaygryffindorgal you know I love a good enemies/rivals to lovers story and Verna’s relationship with Merula delivers that in spades.

Hufflepuff

Artemis Hexley by @the-al-chemist I love this little firecracker and her tragic backstory. Her sass is most definitely the best part of her charm.

Carmilla Frank by @carmilla-the-bird I love that she's such a realistically flawed character. Also provides a really cool take on an MC who’s a seer. Her relationship with Merula is just the icing on the cake.

Cereza Gomez by @rosachaotic  Her relationship with Talbott is both one of the most well thought out and entertaining MC x Talbott relationships I’ve seen.

Slytherin

Edie Quinn by @praetoring I love that she attempts to breakaway from her death eater family. Her relationship with Barnaby is just the icing on the cake as far as this amazing character goes.

Alex Vega by @weirdcursedvaultkid without a doubt the cutest HPHM MC, I love all the cute little takes Alex’s character gives to certain moments in the game such as the Sphinx Club TLSQ.

Thanks to @annabelle-tanaka-official for the tag.

MERULY

A: Attractive (What do they find attractive about the other?)

Emily found really fun how feral and inaccessible Merula was, she really never had a challenge seeing through someone until she came along, and needless to say, she likes a challenge. But what really did it for her was realizing Merula was also strong and independent just like she was. In Merula’s case she was drawn to her for just how mysterious (and suspicious) she was, and she really did find a mystery, just for her to unravel and discover, a complex person just like her, who was annoying and sometimes mean, but just as intelligent and elegant.

B: Baby (Do they want a family? Why/Why not?)

They always thought they wouldn’t have one, kids are too demanding (but truly it was Merula’s insecurity, she didn’t have Good parents, so why would she be a Good mother). Until Alnair came along, a weird, powerful orphaned child who was just too interesting not to have around. When they noticed they were as good as parents as they were at everything else, they were curious how would they be with a baby, and it was weird and exhausting but very rewarding.

C: Cuddle (How do they cuddle?)

They partake on what their friends call ‘affectionally bothering each other’ Especially Emily plays a lot with hands, kisses her hands, tickles her, boops her nose. She also blows on Merula’s ear which bother her the most, but well, Merula does it too.

D: Dates (What are dates with them?)

Emily really opened Merula’s min don the finest things in life, they go to the opera, to the theatre, to the orchestra, to the fanciest restaurants… she really likes treating her girl. They also really enjoy going ice skating together.

E: Everything (You are my ____ (e.g. my life, my world…))

Emily tells her she’s her haven.

Merula tells her she’s the most authentic thing in her life.

F: Feelings (When did they know they were in love?)

Emily realized when she turned down the cutest girl in Beauxbutons to go see Merula.

And Merula noticed when she realized that she looked forward to Emily’s letters more tan anything else.

G: Gentle (Are they gentle? If so, how?)

Surprisingly yes.

Emily especially likes leaving her flowers, giving her books with the sweetest things outlined just for her, writes her poems…

Merula composed some songs for her, wrote drafts of her letters so they would look as good as possible, and the thing that warmed Emily’s heart the most, she always gave her a report of how her sister was.

H: Hands (How do they like to hold hands?)

Merula doesn’t like holding hands, so she takes Emily’s arm, Emily shows off her girlfriend.

I: Impression (What was their first impression?)

Emily thought that she was so angry and that was funny, Merula thought: oh no, it’s a meaner version of Melissandre.

J: Jealousy (Do they get jealous?)

Yes. Especially Merula because Emily is a flirt and a known girlfriend stealer.

K: Kiss (How do they kiss? Who initiated the first kiss?)

They initiated their first kiss at the same time, they just kind of knew when the right time was. Their kisses are long and enthusiastic.

L: Love (Who’s says ‘I love you’ first?)

Emily.

M: Memory (What’s their favourite memory together?)

Just…the first time they saw each other, and they didn’t know how important the other would be.

N: Nickle (Do they spoil one another? Do they buy the person they love everything?)

Emily doesn’t spoil much, but does buy everything that reminds her of Merula.

Merula doesn’t spoil, or buy much for Emily, but what she does buy is more special and of better quality.

O: Orange (What colour reminds them of their other half?)

Emily: Purple

Merula: Dark green

P: Pet names (What pet names do they use?)

Emily: Blueberry

Merula: Petit raton laveur (Little racoon)

Both are to bother each other. Merula was mad when she discovered Emily just called the exact same thing her sister did but in french, so she started calling her Blueberry remembering the one time stained herself with blueberry jam on a date.

Q: Quaint (What is their favourite non-modern thing?)

Emily: Quill

Merula: Books

R: Rainy day (What do they like to do on a rainy day?)

Emily: Read horror novels

Merula: Sing

Slack off together.

S: Sad (How do they cheer each other up?)

Emily usually writes her a beautiful poem, or she gives her flowers each with a different encouragement meaning, or just gives Merula anything that she wants.

Merula sings her some of her favourite songs and accepts to treat her like a queen for a day.

T: Talking (What do they talk about?)

Magic, curse breaking and crime fighting above all.

U: Unencumbered (What helps them relax?)

For Emily is ice skating, for Merula reading or singing.

V: Vaunt (What do they like to show off? What are they proud of?

They’re both extremely prideful. Emily is proud of her intelligence, sophistication and capacity to steal your girlfriend. And Merula…well, being the best witch at Hogwarts.

W: Wedding (When, how, where do they propose?)

Because they were pen pals when they met, one year Emily decided to renew the habit of sending each other letters, just for fun, after fourteen letters she asked Merula if she noticed anything, she had started every letter with a letter that spelled ‘Will you marry me’.

They got married shortly after in 1992.

Their wedding was very fancy and sophisticated with a letter and distance theme.

X: Xylophone (What’s their song?)

I think I’m in love from Kat Dahlia.

Y: Yes (Do they ever think of getting married/proposing?)

Yes.

Z: Zebra (If they wanted a pet, what would they get?)

An owl, a cat and a puffskin.
