#potter marathon on E!

[vampandvisiongirl]

Don’t stand here and tell me that the moment Harry looks at Hermione towards the end of Order OTP (when he is being mind fucked by Voldemort) & his first memory is of them hugging at the end of Chamber of Secrets isn’t fucking beautiful.

Part 2 to espresso I beg 🙏

W A K E U P C A L L — JAMES POTTER!

a 6am shift at the coffee shop was the last thing you needed after a students’ night out. and james is way too energetic.

james potter x fem!reader (barista!au) | 1.4k | fluff | masterlist.

a/n — no begging necessary ml, i love this au sm

You’re almost falling asleep as you clean out the basin of one of the coffee machines. It should’ve been done by yesterday’s closers, but the universe obviously hadn’t punished you enough by just giving you a 6am opening shift on a Monday morning in the middle of December.

You honestly thought your fingers were going to fall off as you fumbled the front doors unlocked, but now, nestled into the warmth of the overhead heater you really do feel like you could fall asleep where you stand.

You get it to a point, people have places to be and things to do, even at 6 in the morning, but you also have places to be, places being in your bed and not standing behind a counter serving sleep-deprived business men coffee whilst they wait for a train.

But of course, there’s James, bouncing around behind the counter like he’s ready to run a marathon. You can’t figure out how the hell he does it, even after all this time working together. He’s like an Energizer bunny, perpetually full of energy.

“Oi, what’s the matter with you today?” James asks, his voice loud enough to snap you out of your almost-sleepy stupor. He’s grinning, completely unaware that you just want to collapse into the nearest seat and sink into the floor.

You glare at him over the top of the espresso machine. “I’m fine, just living the dream,” you mutter, your voice hoarse with the faintest trace of sarcasm.

James laughs and pulls a fresh batch of croissants from the oven, his movements effortless. It’s as if he’s been awake for hours, yet you know full well that he probably didn’t get much more sleep than you did last night. Between university assignments, the social committee work, and, of course, his infamous club nights, it’s a miracle he’s even functioning.

“Yeah, you look like you’re living the dream,” he teases, his smile never faltering. “You look like you want to crawl under the counter and hibernate.”

You roll your eyes. "You’re so chipper for someone who was at the same club night as me last night."

James shrugs nonchalantly, wiping his hands on his apron before grabbing the next batch to bake. “What can I say? I’ve got an unbreakable constitution. You know that about me.”

You snort, your tiredness momentarily forgotten at the absurdity of his statement. “Unbreakable? James, you’re literally always falling asleep in the running social meetings, I’m pretty sure you just don’t notice how badly you’re functioning.”

“Me? Fall asleep?” He raises an eyebrow, a mock offended expression crossing his face as he hands over a cappuccino to a regular customer. “I’ll have you know that I’m an excellent multitasker.”

“Right.” You’re not buying it. Not when you’ve seen him slumped in the corner of the student union’s meeting room, eyes half-closed, trying to pretend he’s taking notes for the event planning. You swear he’s somehow mastered the art of sleep while looking awake, and you’re in awe of how easily he pulls it off.

“I mean, if you’re tired, I can always take over for you,” James adds, a mischievous glint in his eye. “I’ve got more than enough energy to go around.”

You snort again, the sound escaping before you can stop it. “You’d be a liability on the coffee machine. I can’t risk you having a caffeine overdose and bouncing off the walls like a pinball.”

James grins, unfazed. “That’s just an extra perk! Think of how much more productive we’d be if I was bouncing off the walls. You’d get to be the lazy one, and I’d be the charming one, keeping everyone energised,”

You shake your head, though you can’t help but smile despite yourself. “Right, charming. That’s exactly what we need at 6am.”

The door to the coffee shop opens with a chime, and another customer steps inside, pulling your attention away from James. You greet them automatically, still feeling a bit dazed, your exhaustion not quite gone. As you prepare the next cup of coffee, you try to focus on the rhythm of the morning.

But it’s hard not to notice James in your peripheral vision, his energy contagious despite your best efforts to remain annoyed at him. How does he do it? It’s not just the fact that he’s awake and functioning—it’s that he’s always so alive in everything he does. Whether it’s the running social, the random nights out, or the mornings like this one, he always has that boundless enthusiasm.

“How do you do it?” you ask suddenly, barely catching yourself before you sound too curious. “How are you this... this awake? All the time?”

James doesn’t seem to be caught off guard by the question. He just leans on the counter, watching you carefully with that easy grin of his. “Let me get you onto this magical thing called micronaps,” he says, his voice dropping just slightly, jazz hands and all to sell his ‘idea’. “Otherwise, you can always leech energy from the people around you. Like I do to you.”

“Me?” You’re almost choking on your disbelief. “I’m literally half-dead right now.”

He leans in slightly, lowering his voice as if he’s sharing a secret. “That’s the point, love, I’ve stolen it all,”

You blink. For a moment, you just stare at him, the early morning fog of exhaustion making it harder to process what he’s saying.

“Okay, stop. You’re making me look bad,” you finally mutter, tiredness still edging into your tone. “You’re making fun of me now,”

James just chuckles, ruffling his hair in that way he does when he’s pleased with himself. “What can I say, it’s my favourite pass-time,”

You give him a side-eye, but you can’t quite muster up the same level of annoyance you usually would. Instead, you sigh deeply, rolling up your sleeves as you prepare for the next rush. “Whatever, you win. Happy?”

“Absolutely,” James replies, grinning from ear to ear as he hands over another order.

As the morning drags on, you notice yourself relaxing into the rhythm of the shift. James is right about one thing—he really does have a way of making everything more fun, even when you’re running on fumes. You catch yourself laughing at his jokes more than you want to admit, and despite your grumbling about your lack of sleep, you can’t help but enjoy the banter that flies between you both.

The rest of the morning passes in a blur of customers, coffee machines, and laughter. Every time you catch James’ grin or hear one of his sarcastic remarks, you feel the weight of your exhaustion lift, just a little bit.

By the time your shift ends, the early morning fatigue has started to recede, replaced by a sense of quiet contentment. You’re still tired, no doubt about that, but it’s a kind of good tired, the kind you get after a productive day. And maybe, just maybe, it’s also the result of being around someone whose energy is impossible to ignore, even if you want to.

“So,” James says, tossing his apron into the back room as you both prepare to head out, “same plan for tonight?”

You look at him, suddenly aware of how much time you’ve spent with him lately. “Absolutely not. I’m just glad I made it through this shift.”

He winks, pulling his jacket on. “Come on. Besides, the night’s still young, and the student discount on pints of strongbow is calling my name,”

You shake your head with a laugh. “Yeah, yeah, good for you mate, I’m going to sleep.”

“Boring,” James says, slinging an arm around your shoulder as you both step out into the cold December air. “I’ll see you on the run tomorrow, right?”

You can’t help but smile, even as your thoughts drift to the never-ending list of things to do. “Unfortunately,”

“I’m sure an 8k will wake you from your hibernation,” he grins.

pay attention 2 fabrics! knitted, cashmere, fleece, flannel, all the cosy sorts are perfect for the autumn months ♡

patterns like stripes, leopard print, chevron, argle and plaid are so cute and simple, esp in october / november ♡

neutral colours, like beige, white, brown, cream, grey, black, and pale variants of colours too i think work so well esp in the autumn ♡

anything fur lined is absolutely adorable i rest my case

MASSIVE COATS. i have this big trenchcoat my mum had since i was a baby and i wear it EVERYWHERE in autumn ♡

boots are THE autumn shoes, bonus points if they're fur-lined. they just look so so cute ajdhfjsfjhsjf♡

knit hats and small hair accessories, bonus points if they're in the pretty autumn colours ♡

not really fashion but i love doing simple makeup in the autumn. just very dewy natural looks are pretty all year around, but especially in the fall ♡

📻🎶 H/D WIRELESS 2024 - WEEKLY WRAP-UP #3

The third week of posting has come to an end! Enjoy catching up with this week's selection of wonderful works. 

There's a work for everyone in this fest (and if you haven't found what you're looking for yet, we're not done with posting).

As always you can listen to the prompted songs for the works we post on two playlists:

Click here for Spotify (many thanks to @evaeleanor for helping us out there) ❤️ And here for the YouTube playlist.

Please enjoy this week’s entries below the cut:

🎶 H/D Wireless Art 🎶

📻 A Quiet Life [T, Digital art]

🎵 Song Prompt: A Quiet Life by Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld  🎵 Summary: After their relationship becomes public knowledge; after being hounded by the paparazzi; after Draco says enough is enough and leaves London; Harry’s more than happy to follow.  After all, a quiet life is all he’s ever wanted.

🎶 H/D Wireless Fic 🎶

📻 I made loving you a blood sport (so let's play) [E, 3,032]

🎵 Song Prompt: Blood Sport by Sleep Token  🎵 Summary: They sat in an odd kind of silence, comfortable in its discomfort. In the predictability of its recklessness. The thing between them was as palpable as the thick smoke in the air, consumed with every breath, and likely just as bad for them.

📻 Everything that can go wrong will go wrong [T, 5,178]

🎵 Song Prompt: If You Were Mine by Leon Bridges and Miranda Lambert  🎵 Summary: “You can move in with me!”  Shit. Apparently there was still a possibility to make a fool out of himself to his crush despite his best efforts at minimizing contact. Draco and Andromeda looked at him in record speed, showing their own expressions of confusion. Maybe at his appearing out of nowhere, maybe at his panting that made it seem like he just ran a marathon for some reason, or maybe at his abrupt and impulsive suggestion. Shit. Teddy wasn’t even here to take off the edge—Harry was completely alone in this one.  After a pause, Draco fully turned to him with a manner that definitely showed his opinion of how stupid Harry was, and asked, “What?”

📻 Antelucan Ruins [E, 29,453] 

🎵 Song Prompt: Ghost by Justin Bieber  🎵 Summary: From the bloody Prophet, Draco discovers Harry Potter’s death splashed in grey ink printed on the front page. Potter is dead before Draco gets to see him again to fulfil a half-spoken promise. And yet, these days Draco has the power to bend the world to his heart’s desires, and that includes fucking Harry Potter even after he personally saw Potter’s pale, lifeless body lying in a coffin before it got buried under the soil. "Do you realise that you're just as pathetic and insane? You're so hung up on the idea of me that you'd fuck a ghost, Malfoy. You risked your life for it."  Draco puts an arm around Potter's body, "Whoever says I am sane? Certainly not me. It's calculated risk with more success rate than failure. And you are dead, Potter. You refuse to move on to the next realm because you crave for my cock."

📻 I've Been There (sitting in that same chair) [Gen, 2,212]

🎵 Song Prompt: The Village by Wrabel  🎵 Summary: People keep knocking on Draco’s door. Draco just wants to read his book (he doesn’t mind, really).  Or: Draco gets to be the supportive queer person he’d wished for when he was younger.

📻 Lonely Rivers [M, 7,370]

🎵 Song Prompt: 'Unchained Melody' by 'The Righteous Brothers'  🎵 Summary: Six years after the end of the war, Harry takes care of Teddy Lupin and has started to learn guitar. Hermione negotiates with foreign powers. Draco's a trainee Healer with a glam karaoke routine. And when Ron and Parvati decide to get married, they find a job for everyone...

📻 How to Begin [E, 8,478]

🎵 Song Prompt: Blush by Orville Peck  🎵 Summary: Harry is completely, pathetically besotted with his flatmate, Draco. Fuelled by liquid courage, he finally makes his move when he's absolutely sozzled. What could possibly go wrong?

📻 Oneiros [E, 13,125]

🎵 Song Prompt: Enter Sandman by Metallica  🎵 Summary: When contact with a weird vase traps Harry in his nightmares, it's Unspeakable Draco Malfoy's task to rescue him. In order to do so, he will have to face his past and his family history and win a duel of wits against a Morpheus and try to be better than his father each step of the way...

📻 Say When [E, 24,545]

🎵 Song Prompt: Undisclosed Desires by Muse 🎵 Summary: When Auror Harry Potter is sent in undercover to determine if Draco Malfoy is laundering money through his BDSM club, will he be able to keep up the ruse and close the case? Or, more to the point, will he keep from falling in love?

🎶 H/D Wireless Podfic 🎶

📻 [Podfic] Case of You [E, 11:48:56]

🎵 Song Prompt: Case of You by Joni Mitchell  🎵 Summary: Draco was doing just fine working as an Unspeakable in Paris, hanging out with his living and ghostly pals, inventing new spells, and definitely not thinking about Potter. Then, Lucius just had to break out of prison and turn his world upside down.  Now, Draco has to return to England, where he is forced to confront how family ties bind us—and one infuriatingly fit Harry Potter.

Is rather proud that she doesn’t have any roommates but tbh, Rose is the worst roommate to have. Her clutter is everywhere.

Is often compared to Hermione much to Rose’s displeasure. They look almost the spitting image of each other with the exception of Rose’s hair colour and rose is quite a clever girl– she did get top marks in school– but that is where the similarities end. Rose is much more rough around the edges… in fact, her edges are frayed and she’s barely holding it together. She’s harsher and more impulsive. she jumps to conclusions a lot and while 90% of the time, she’s right, she can be wrong sometimes. Not that she will ever admit it.

Whisky Lowball Wonders SZN

Scrooge from the South started the holiday szn somewhere in the East Side. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I hate parties and social spaces a lot, but, of course, holiday means merry making and good tidings. So, let's slay bells, shall we?

As an outnumbered Southie, I said YES to our YE party that meant I'd have to leave the house really, really, really early. Glad to have my reliable driver and my dad with me because I had to do a grocery run. It was supposed to be with my go-to carpool office buddy, but she had some urgent and important home errands.

First, anything beyond Diliman is alien to me. I remember driving to SM Marikina for a bloody TVC ages ago and damn, pray na lang talaga ako kasi 'di ko alam mag-navigate. LOL. It turned out okay naman and even got an elusive Presto I've been hunting down during lunch break. GAH. Time flies talaga. I also drove a good number of times to Antipolo but had company during wee hours of the morning. How far is the East side in my book? Tipong tapos na lahat ng Aegis PL and iba pang PL, naka-yosi na ako ng ilan sa daan, pero nasa area pa ako ng Robinsons Metro East levels on a weekday. Partida dahil pa-Makati pa lang ako niyan those times.

So, going to the East at this holiday season is just very curious. 'Pag nadaanan na 'yung studio ni Bianca Cordero near White Plains, sure akong malapit na ako sa Katipunan. LOL. Labo ng references ko, pero dun ko nagegets 'yung navigation e.

My nakshie driver was patient enough to let me wait for my siomai ambag somewhere sa Kapitolyo area na shemay sa complication ang routes; but, I arrived naman with the goodies including a cooler filled with ice around 1 PM.

Tatay ko tuwang-tuwa kasi 'di pa rin siya nakarating sa side na 'to. Gulat-gulat pa siya kasi ang liit daw nung eskinita tapos ang daming puwedeng gawin sa venue. Kulang na lang mag-stay siya. Partida, 'di niya pa nakita 'yung pool niyan. HAHAHAHA. He met some officemates and pinaalis ko na rin sila kasi ayoko silang mastuck sa rush hour na hindi lang madugo. Sobrang karnehan season.

Buti na lang sobrang up my alley 'yung theme: Pamaskong Pambahay. I love Harry Potter so much to the point na reruns niya mala-pudpod na good copy sa kung saan mang platform ko siya puwedeng panoorin. Siguro, the past years lalo this 2023, pati audiobook marathon, naggawa ko na. Dad always teases me pero nakikisabay na rin siya ngayon sa mga well loved lines niya sa movies.

I usually wear black at home lalo 'pag may need akong itawid forda the home and forda life. :p Happiest or should I say most sedated ako 'pag walang ayos at all that also includes no fucking drawn kilay. It's a stark contrast to what I wear on RTO days and nights, too. Though, I think I'd be wearing all black more in 2024 because there'd be more days I need to be in BGC. :p

What I really, really, really like to do during parties is to drink, vape and just let things be. Basta malamig kasi nga pawisin ako much. Buti may malaking electric fan na 'di umano, bagong bili. Kita ko ng 'yung box e. Sana pala sinabi kong ipa-raffle na lang din that night kaso baka mapagalitan ako e. LOL. As a laking electric fan, need ko talaga ng ventilation sa life. Bonus 'yung kwentuhan sessions kasi lagi naman akong nagsasalita na napapadalas TMI gawa ng collabs na need para sa mga paganaps both planned and unplanned.

Buti na lang, nakita ko mga alak na walang balak sa aking tukador. LOL. Mahal na kasi ng alak ngayon. In fairness naman, bumawi ako sa team ko kasi ng self-confessed clingy sila and ang kaya ko talagang i-offer is 'yung vodka na may LGBT design na dapat talaga sa first tiny home ko outside Manila ko bubuksan. HAHAHAHAHA. Syempre, 'di ko na 'to nikwento kasi bakit pa? Sayang oras. My team is much like my lifeline even when I know I can be too much talaga kasi nga sanay ako sa galawang start up. Mabagal ako super these days to be honest pero kasi eto rin 'yung pagbibigay ko ng chance na i-embrace 'yung gestation season ng team ko. Hindi siya madali as in. Ang daling mamitik at mag-sputnik pero let's not go there, anymore. Pansin ko sa team ko now, weirdos talaga kami. 'Yung isa billiards ang turf. 'Yung iba, mahiyain by nature, pero wagas mag-videoke. 'Yung isa naman, tahimik lang pero matinde 'yung comments and killer lines. 'Yung dalawa namang magkasangga sa two main houses naming inaalagaan at inaapula ang apoy, may certain dynamics na parang magkapatid sila even sa kalokohan. 'Yung isa naman, tito levels 1000000000 pero super duper oks with me kasi it reminds me that old soul is the best soul there is. 'Yung isa naman, saltik levels 100000000000000 pero all the care and concern in the world, dinala na niya talaga. LOL. 'Di ba? Mga oddballs pero we vibin' talaga. Hindi madali ang work namin pero natutunan ko at patuloy ko pang inaaral to see the light more than the shadows.

Iba kasi ang shadows e. It makes any subject more dimensional. Mas nagiging unique and curious. Pero okayyyy, focus tayo sa light kasi doon naman nagsisimula ang most flattering shadows, right? Speaking of which, I'd be pitching a project headshot sa team namin soon. I like to capture this era of my life because it's game-changing talaga. LOL. They'd most likely dig this para din mas vibe 'yung photos namin sa MST. Lololollloll. Sakto for 2024 pagangaps. Black and white syempre na ambient and not edit. Always.

Anyway, sobrang tagal na ng last whisky and cola session ko. As in. Saka, na-surprise ako sa Suntory na I think galing pa sa Subic. HAHAHAHAHA. Mura kasi talaga doon as in. Saka 'yung Suntory whisky na 'to manipis pero may sipa. Should have brought a highball ensemble kaso mas madaling mauubos e. LOL. Next time na siguro.

Hindi na ako bumili ng Jack kasi, oks ang Suntory na 'to kahit 'di mahal. Uhaw levels sa combo na 'to which is my poison lalo 'pag I work outside is 100000000 also. Pero 'di na ako nakakainom masyado since 2023 H2 e. By choice na rin siguro. Or baka mapatawag pa ako sa principal's office. HAHAHAHAHA. Again, drinking is my sedation and creative process kasi. Kaya, sana naman, maging isa itong adjustment. 'Di naman ako kasi wasak uminom. Dutch courage and inspo vibes lang talaga siya. Saka pampakalma ko lalo kasi I overthink to the nines.

Glad to see my team and other team mates having a good time also. Parang nasa probinsiya kami. 'Di lang talaga ako nakaswim because it's fucking time of the month na siksik, liglig at umaapaw. :(((((( Kung kelan talaga may importanteng lakad, lagi na lang panira 'tong uterus ko. Pati 'yung Osaka ko, nag-OD ako ng Naproxen para ma-slay ko 40K steps. CHZ. Linis pa man din nung tubig. :((((((

Buti nagdala ako ng siomai kasi favorite ko talaga siya. Dapat nga, yun na lang kinain ko kesa kumuha pa ako ng ibang food. Mga naka-dalawang tray ako ng siomia so mga 30 or 40 pieces 'yun. Sarap din nung chili oil na from Malaysia kaya extra spicy. :D

May kahihiyan na naman akong naggawa na I can't unsee. LOL. Nagpa-shot ng tequila 'yung kabilang team. E 'di ako naman, I took the shot tapos, inom agad since ayoko ng tequila bilang nakakatorpedo mode siya for me. Saka memories na hahahahahahaha. Lord, sorry na talaga. 'Yun pala need pang i-cheers. So, ayun, two rounds ang paunang buga ko. Siguro uhaw levels 10000 nga kaya 'di naman panget ang hagod nung tequila na 'to.

Hassle lang kasi walang malapit na bilihan ng pods kaya napa-Esse Pop na lang ulit ako. Wala e. Dapat talaga merong ganun sa South Supermarket. In fairness, may South sa East ha. Hahahahaha. It's giving Ever Gotesco kasi sobrang nakakalito 'yung pagkaayos ng mga SKUs sa branch na 'to. Muntik na nga akong mag-grocery ng malala kasi wala na akong bigas sa bahay ko. Nahiya lang ako kasi para 'di naman ako late.

We ended the pre-game ng 10-ish and syempre, medyo may pag-CLAYGO muna para 'di naman mahirapan 'yung may ari ng lugar at 'di rin nakakahiya sa compound. Ganda rin talaga nung BNB namin. Gulat ako DMCI corner unit tapos mid-rise. Engineering talaga strength ng DMCI saka granite countertop sa mga kinda finished units upon TO. LOL. Bili na. CHZ. Weird lang kasi ng locations talaga. Na need mo talaga ng car and scooter para 'di ka mahassle.

If may gusto akong DMCI property, syempre matik na Bonifacio Heights bilang isa 'yun sa legacy properties nila. Maliit lang talaga ang elevators pero puwedeng-puwede na talaga. LOL. Going back to our post-party na inabot ng midnights... naglaro lang ako ng Uno Stacko with officemates na sumama from other teams. Then, umupo ako sa sofa na sobrang sarap ng feel. Tapos, poof. Nakatulog na ako. Hahahahahahaha. Hindi ko na namalayan. Sabi ng officemates ko, kahit ang lakas ng tawa nila sa Cards Against Humanity nila, wala. Bagsak talaga ako. I love the solid na solid sleep. Pero nung nagtry daw silang magphoto na tulog ako, gumising daw ako. Hahahahaha. LOL. Then natulog ulit. HAHAHAHHAHA. Ending, sa sofa na ako natulog kasi ang lamig ng AC sa lahat ng rooms. Namiss ko rin kasi mga dogs ko. :( Sanay ako sila katabi ko. :( Si dad naman bantay nila kaya oks lang din.

Nung nagising ako, pinakilala sa akin 'yung jowa nung isa naming ka-team. Medyo napahaba kwento kasi nga parehas kaming tubong Laguna na malayo. LOL. Nagulat din siya sa dami ng piercings at tats ko. Siguro pati pagtulog ko sa sofa na weird and bagsak, nagulat din siya. Hahahahaha. Fun times talaga. Sabi ko sama siya madalas sa team namin 'pag nasa Manila siya.

Siguro, ito 'yung first super sedated sleep ko since H2 2023. Ang sarap talaga ng sleep ko. Syempre, with every inom na malala, dama ko ang puffy and bloated vibes. UGH. Sooooo, magdadala na lang talaga ako ng siomai, chili oil and kanin sa mga susunod kong inom sessions this szn. Para managed pa rin intake ko. :p 'Wag mo isama diyan samgyup saka seafood ha. Ibang usapan 'yun.

Friday na walang pasok. Thursday good vibes overnight. December, you are looking good so far. Itawid na natin ang mga kaganapan para tuloy-tuloy ang paglipad at paglagapak sa 2024 sa ngalan ng Q1 na no laptop and socmed Japan leave love. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Sana matawid ko 'yung importanteng part next week para makalma na ako ng tuluyan... for this 2023 YE. CHZ.

Saka, sa totoo lang, gusto ko ng tapusin ang kaya kong tapusin kasi gusto ko rin ma-maximize 'yung talents ng new hires and hires na evolving namin sa team. Thankful talaga ako na sila ka-team ko. Hindi ko lang sure if the feeling is the same for them. HAHAHAHHA. HUY.

Watching S2 of Buffy after watching S7 is serious whiplash. by muse-write

This is why Willow Rosenberg is such an important character in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and why she’s so relatable and resonatable by girl4music

Honestly I just try to ignore everything mentioning Giles and his abandoning of Buffy and the Scoobies by girl4music

I just woke up thinking about how unfair the watcher’s council was for never paying the slayer by mariepv

Rather than “how spuffy,” reasons “why spuffy.” Why do spuffies spuffy? by deadthingu

So I was watching ‘Once More, With Feeling’ earlier and [shortened] I noticed Willow and Tara’s physical distance a lot in the background of the Magic Box by girl4music

weird that in Spike: After the Fall, I find that the characters’ voices aren’t as show-accurate as Asylum or Shadow Puppets by absolutely-wretched

what if I said Cordelia’s flat tone is bc she’s autistic what then by svngriche

what dating yunho would be like

warning: nothing just a bunch of fluff with some suggestiveness

bullet point

OKAY LISTEN

all i can imagine with him is like… the cutest strolls in a park, maybe a little picnic date.

he would probably just sit there and stare at you so lovingly while you talk/eat

he’d get all giggly, 100%

speaking of giggly.

you know those cute giggly kisses that make it seem like you’re drunk but you’re just madly in love ??

yeah, shit ton of those.

he loves to tease a little too tho.

like he’ll peck your lips so many times. and then just pull away.

if you pout or whine he’ll just smile and coo at you before giving in.

also, he has a thing for neck kisses.

both giving and receiving ;)

like you’re just sitting on his lap watching a movie or something, and he’ll place little kisses on your neck 🥺🥺🥺🥺

or OR. the other way around, he’ll be all focused on the movie and then you’ll kiss his neck

he’ll just blush and giggle

SOFT. BOY. OMG

i also see like a saturday morning, you’re making breakfast or just making some coffee.

he’ll come up from behind you, hugging your waist.

softly humming a sleepy tune in your ear UGH I CANT

and because of the holiday seasonnnnn

fuzzy socks, hot cocoa, harry potter marathon. WITH FAIRY LIGHTS.

really just everyone’s dream bf

he’ll buy you presents. even if you don’t celebrate any seasonal holidays. he just want to spoil you.

he gets you the most meaningful gifts.

this goes for every holiday just about.

oh and during your birthdays, he takes the day off (when he can) and focuses on you and you only.

and if you wanna celebrate with the rest of the members, you bet your damn ass y’all are celebrating with them.

SPEAKING OF

he was so excited to introduce you to the others.

like. happy jumping up and down.

and ofc the members LOVED YOU

if yunho loves you, then it’s clear that they all will.

he likes watching you bond with all of them too.

he’ll sit back and just admire you and wooyoung messing around.

he especially loves it when you and mingi run away together because he’s been friends with him for the longest.

“yunho, she’s a keeper”

oh how happy he gets

you don’t think you’ve ever seen him more happy

meeting his family would be nerve wrecking

but it turns out to be fine. his family loves you especially his little brother

oh and yunho’s baby pics >>>>>

when you’re getting ready to meet his family, he would help you pick out your outfit.

he just sits with a smile as you bond with his family 🥺

after that he’s convinced he’s ready to get married and have 7 children.

but decides to wait

i won’t talk much about sex life, but i’ll say a little

the first time would be super sweet, super vanilla, but super sweet

at first he was too scared to play into any kinks, but once you were both comfortable sex got more exciting

big-

A F T E R C A R E

please you think this boy doesn’t give the best aftercare ?!?! crazy.

sometimes he’ll start a bath, sometimes he’ll just wipe you down and give you sweet lil kisses

praising.

you cannot tell me he isn’t into praising.

okay enough of that. you horny little demon.

ofc, it can’t be all sunshine and rainbows all the time.

you guys wouldn’t argue a lot, but when he’s mad it’s lowkey scary.

i feel like if you guys are fighting he’ll just leave the room, if you don’t leave first that is.

he’ll let you both calm down a little before deciding to talk.

but of course sometimes you’ll both be too mad to just walk away

but if he sees you cry his heart tears apart

he might cry too honestly.

when he apologizes he just holds you and cries, saying how sorry he is

but bitch you better apologize too. if you did something wrong ofc

make up sex

overall tho. he just loves you so much.

love him back.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

hi steph! so i just finished my harry potter marathon and now i need some sherlock au of it pleaassee thank you 😩

Hey Nonny!

Ahh, I've not read very many myself, but I have had a few asks in the past:

Potterlock (Apr 2020) (Community Recs)

Harry Potter AU (Community Recs)

And here's what I have on my offline MFL list, suggested to me over the years... Feel free to add more, friends, if you have them!

HOGWARTS / WIZARDING WORLD AU [MFL]

Tell Me Your Deductions by Johnlock_Morningstar (T, 632 w., 1 Ch. || Harry Potter AU || First Kiss, Sixth Form) – John and Sherlock are in their sixth year at Hogwarts. John is in Gryffindor and Sherlock is in Ravenclaw. Sherlock is struggling to keep his brain silent and John wants to help before Sherlock resorts to drugs/potions again.

Shrivelfigs by lifespossible (T, 4,547 w., 1 Ch. || Teen Harry Potter AU || Christmas, Friends to Lovers, Pining, Fluff) – John and Sherlock were not a couple, ta very much. They were friends--close friends, best friends. But that was it. Just friends. If you asked John, he’d assure you that was the case. But if you got him on the right side of a couple firewhiskies, well, he might be inclined to tell you he thought it was a damn shame they were only best friends.

lionheart by dreamweavernyx (G, 4,851 w., 1 Ch. || Harry Potter Crossover || Character Study, Friendship) – Some days, Molly finds her eyes straying to that drawer in her desk, the one holding a slim piece of wood and the memories of a life she's left behind.
