Twenty Questions for Fanfic Writers

Tagged by @tansyuduri (thanks!) Taggong forward: @cat-in-a-tesseract , @gallows-into-oblivion , @mxkelsifer , @miyriu , @toomanyfanficsbruh

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Not including unrevealed exchange works I currently have 60 works on Ao3.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

135,630

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Dragon Age and Mass Effect (ThedasElcor , ThedasHanar)

Merlin (OAFelcor)

Overwatch (MildBeagle)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

the hope of a new life (38 kudos)

Mass Effect Andromeda Evfra de Tershaav/Female Ryder | Sara I'm always a bit disappointed about this one because I had a whole subplot involving this Ryder being deaf and specifically preferring hearing aids to corrective surgery but I didn't have time to really perfect it before the exchange deadline so I had to scrap it.

a love that burns like holy fire (32 kudos)

BBC Merlin Arthur/Merlin I just started this one not long ago and it's really been neat to see it take off and have a huge welcome from the Merlin fandom, it's been a really cool community to join. The concept for this one is that Merlin is Transmasc, and that he uses magic as part of his gender affirmation, and somehow that leads to all sorts of dominoes falling that changes the entire outcome of the series starting around the middle of season one.

nights of holy fire (30 kudos)

BBC Merlin Arthur/Merlin So this one's actually the nsfw companion piece for "a love that burns like holy fire", I decided to write the main fic as fade to black and have this separate place for sex scenes and I think it's actually been working really well.

Some Kind of Wonderful (30 kudos)

Dragon Age Female Inquisitor Trevelyan / Josephine Montiliyet This is one of my favourites, I think. I wrote it as an exchange treat and it led to me meeting my fandom friend @sandalinbohemia A funny story with that one is that Rowan as an inquisitor stuck with me so much I thought Sandal had specifically requested the name, but I entirely made up the request and the name and had no idea for over a year. The premise is that Inquisitor Trevelyan finds an old clause that allows her to duel for Josephine's hand using a board game rather than a physical duel, and it's a bit of a fix it for the canon Lord Ortranto situation.

Of Wrath and Wanting (19 Kudos)

Dragon Age Leliana/Morrigan Honestly this is a tiny little flash piece I did for a crackship request back on the bird site. It's really neat, but it's only about 250 words. I have no idea how it did so well.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Definitely, I love comments. the main reason I write most of my longfics like a serial in a newspaper or an old cable tv show where I publish as I go is that I can find writing exceptionally lonely. I love to talk about my work, my blorbos, whatever else.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't write a lot of angst, and I don't write a lot of endings, but probably Rotten Touch. It's a true drabble (100 words), Overwatch, Reaper/Soldier. Since it's so short I'll include it here.

Jack remembers a time before Overwatch, remembers the love they’d shared, remembers Gabriel’s hands on his body in the dead of night. Dead… Dead… That was the problem, wasn’t it? That past was long since over, and now Jack couldn’t even think of himself as anything but 76. Gabriel Reyes had stopped being Reyes, had stopped being anything, long ago, and the vision in Jack's mind can’t cling to the fantasy. Gabriel’s hands become Reaper’s hands become rotten, foreboding, and cold. Every lover, Reaper, before him, and since, melt into an amalgam of broken promises and rotten touches. Jack’s alone.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

That's a tough one! I really like fluff, but I also tend to leave stories with an indication that life continues so it's a bit more ambiguous than happy. I guess I'd say my Josephine/Sebastian Dragon Afe epistolary series Vael in Vellum, it really has more of a conclusion than a lot of others and I think it's really cute.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not that I know of.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yep! honestly all kinds. I write sweet things, spicy things, things I'd be mortified for people in the real world to know about, all sorts of pairings. I'm a transmasc guy who is gay married and who spent a good amount of time thinking he was a lesbian AND in what he thought was a hetero live-in thing for a while so I feel like I have a lot of the mechanics covered and I have a pretty good imagination. Idk if it's good or not, but people seem to like it, and I tend to like it when I reread it.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I don't go out of my way to, but I do write them, especially for exchanges. I think the craziest one was the Commander 'n Chief fShep/The Iron Bull series I wrote for @ferindencadash (Mass Effect/Dragon Age)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No. I started translating Moments Between (Mass Effect Sloane Kelly/enbie Ryder), especially since later chapters that I need to rewrite have Ryder speaking an almost creole-like French dialect, but I got lonely :P If folks were interested, I'd be willing to translate some of my pieces, especially the shorter ones, into French or Spanish.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I used to do a lot of chat based role playing, but I don't think I ever officially wrote something with someone. I can be really intense when I'm mid hyper-fixation, though, it probably wouldn't be a good time for a co-writer.

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Honestly, whatever one I'm writing at the time. I'm absolutely in love with Sloane/Ryder (Mass Effect), writing fCadash/Varric Tethras for the Tethras n' Trouble series and , HardAssi (Krem/Lace Harding) for Her Safeword is Apples (and she smells like blossoms in the rain) (Dragon Age) both felt absolutely world altering. Now that I'm writing Merthur (Merlin/Arthur from BBC Merlin) for the Elements of Albion series, that's everything. I love ships... all the ships. Give them to Ziiiiimmmmmm.. ahem...

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I think that I'll keep writing all my pieces as the fixations shift, honestly. Eventually I'll finish more and start more. I guess the most precarious right now is probably A Perfect Fit (HardAssi), but I don't think any work is really doomed. Sometimes I hyperfixate and write over 20k in a weekend, sometimes it takes me weeks to get 500 words out... I think it's more of a lifestyle at this point.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Probably portraying emotions and emulating cadence and mannerisms.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Commas, run on sentences, an absolute gay audacity and disregard for all the rules of grammar...

But seriously probably angst, hurt/comfort, I'm really very "meta" in my writing and I go through all the emotions the characters are going through, very, very vividly, to get it all right, so it can be really difficult for me to finish works that hit the really hard spots for long periods.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I enjoy it! I like it better when the text lends itself to having the translation right there or having the narrator tell us. I've got a few works that use extensive footnotes that are all neatly linked back and forth and stuff and it's just a lot of work to format.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

No idea. The first fandom I published is Dragon Age, I keep a bookmark to the Ao3 import of the fic (I orphaned the account a long long time ago) and it reminds me that I was never as bad as I thought, but that I've also gotten a lot better. In terms of ever written, including role playing days and just loose leaf notebooks I started almost 25 years ago, so I really have no idea.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

In terms of complete works only probably either The Writer and the Racketeer (fCadash/Varric) or Antivan Coffee (Josephine Montiliyet/Zevran Arainai), both Dragon Age. I did a lot of Dragon Age exchanges so a lot of my finished works are in that fandom. I would say right now, though, that I'm really enjoying writing a love that burns like holy fire, it's inspiring a bunch of spinoffs and it's been super great to more actively join the Merlin fandom.

Thank you so much to @tansyuduri for tagging me for this, it was so much fun. Thanks to anyone who read through all this, it felt really neat to do a little interview of myself. Hopefully some people I tagged forward have fun with this (no pressure as always), and I really look forward to writing for you all in the future!

[imnotleavinherewithoutyou]

so since i picked up that 20k mystery project like a month and a half ago (jesus time goes by so fast now???) i guess i've added something like 15k and figured out chapter headings and subheadings and there's like structure and shit

think it'll be 10 parts total - 8 chapters plus prelude and postlude (i did not know that was a word btw)

pre-humongously-long writing hiatus i'd written prelude plus two chapters and the start of chapter 3. now i'm 1500 words into chapter 5, in the middle of an owwwwy scene

really, ow

:(

An arc that should’ve been added in Merlin was just how downright terrified Merlin was of him.

Especially with the whole magic thing. He was scared of Arthur. Scared of him as a warrior. Scared that everytime he wielded a sword Merlin thought it was meant for him. Scared that every glare just a little too harsh, every comeback just a little too snippy and suddenly he’d be staring at Arthur from the guillotine.

Arthur was his executioner. Arthur was his grim reaper, waiting for an opening so he could swoop in. But most of all, Merlin was scared of him as a friend. As someone he trusted. Because if he let magic slip around him, even just one flicker that’s the last time he would see Arthur smile at him.

And Arthur notices. He doesn’t know why Merlin flinches a bit too hard when Arthur mock draws his sword in a show of anger, he can’t place his finger on how if he added even a little heat behind those words his friend would stiffen.

Until one day Merlin has to accompany him to face a magic kight who he’s clearly nervous about. And it’s only when Merlin flinches do the pieces slide together for him. That it clicks why Merlin’s face looked so familiar whenever Arthur accidentally overstepped a boundary he never knew existed.

I want to see the look on his face as he stared at his best friend, and realised that he was afraid of him.

And obviously the Angsty arc following Arthur trying to redeem himself and be better towards Merlin without changing their dynamic too much and Merlin is getting more and more tense because with how soft Arthur’s acting it’s like he’s winning Merlin’s trust, and maybe Merlin wants to tell him if the man keeps this up.

[mandoriana]

Okay, but have you ever stopped to think how INSANE Merlin should be for the people of Camelot?

"Yeah, death had a near-Merlin experience,"

"Merlin doesn't cheat death. He wins fair and square."

"Witch Morgana checks his closet every night for Merlin."

"Merlin once played Death roulette with a crossbow and won."

"Merlin was once bitten by a snake and after five days of excruciating pain, the snake died."

Then somehow the knights and Arthur heard about it and it went downhill from there.

Arthur: When Merlin enters a room, he doesn't turn the lights on, he turns the dark off.

Gwaine: Merlin doesn't have good aim. His arrows just know better than to miss.

Laneclot: Merlin actually died four years ago, but the Grim Reaper can't get up the courage to tell him.

Nobody knows, but Lancelot was telling the truth.

It's Flu Season! And because Maverick would be the biggest baby if he got sick...

(Penny, Wolfman, Slider, Merlin, and Hollywood run though the front door of Iceman and Maverick house, with Iceman tiredly sitting on the couch in the living room)

Wolfman: Ice?! what's wrong?! We all got your message that you needed help!

Iceman: It's awful! The whole house is sick! First Hangman came down with the flu, then Phoenix, then Rooster, then Payback, and then all the rest of the Dagger Squad! I was running a sick ward all weekend!

Merlin:...wait, why isn't Maverick helping you?

Iceman (flatly): Because then came Monday...

(Maverick comes out in his bathrobe, hair tousled, pale, clammy, and half-asleep and in his hands a bottle of pills)

Maverick (whining): Ice, honey? Can you open the aspirin for me?

---

(The whole 80s Top Gun team and Penny stay to help Iceman run the house and take care of Maverick and the Dagger Squad)

(Maverick is in bed, weakly ringing a bell)

Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...

Slider (in the next room helping Coyote): Give me a minute.

Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...

Slider (in the next room): I said I'm coming!

Maverick (ringing the bell): Slider...

(Slider rushes into Maverick's bedroom in a panic): What?! What?! What?!

Maverick (weakly): My pillow needs poofing.

Slider (eye twitching):...Mitchell, I don't think you want to put a pillow in my hands right now.

---

(Maverick is in bed, whining and gasping for breath)

Maverick (weakly): I'm dying, Hollywood. I'm giving up the ghost. Every cell in my being is crying out in anguish. It was a good life while it lasted, but this is it. Hello, Grim Reaper.

Hollywood (with a bottle of cough syrup and a spoon in his hands): Cut the bullshit. The medicine doesn't taste that bad.

Maverick (weakly):...Goose? Dad? Carol? Is that you?

---

(Maverick is in his bathrobe, still sick, and in Iceman's home office while Iceman is frantically typing away on his keyboard)

Maverick: Ice, sweetie? Can you heat up some chicken soup for me?

Iceman (stressed): Mav, sorry but I'm really busy right now! I need to approve this contract in twenty minutes! Can't you just fend for yourself?

Maverick (whining): But I'm sick, honey...

Iceman: Mav, for fuck's sake, we're not talking brain surgery! All you have to do is open a stupid can and dump it in a pot!

(Maverick disappears into the kitchen and then come back a minute later. In his hands is a pot, and in the pot is a can of chicken soup. The can is open but the contents of the soup are still inside the can)

Maverick: Now what?

Iceman:...now, we talk brain surgery.

---

(Maverick stumbles in the kitchen where Penny, Wolfman, and Merlin are making soup and orange juice for all the Dagger Squad)

Maverick: Is it time for my aspirin yet?

Wolfman: No, Mitchell.

Maverick: But my throat hurts...

Merlin: Maverick, go back to bed. It hasn't been four hours yet.

Maverick: But my head hurts! My joints hurt! My eyes hurt! My body hurts! (in a baby voice) My itty bitty widdle pinkies hurt!

(Penny sighs and opens the aspirin bottle)

Maverick (smirks): I knew I'd win with that one.

Penny: These aren't for you.

(Penny gives two pills to herself, Merlin, and Wolfman and they all gulp them down immediately)

---

(BONUS)

(Cyclone is back at headquarters in his office, feet on his desk with a small glass of bourbon)

Cyclone (smiling): What a peaceful, quiet day.

Obey me!Memes #177

Out of the 10 demons,3 Angels,Reaper and Merlin-I mean Solomon...He believed in our supremacy before ANYONE!

[starrieisdelusional]

bones by imagine dragons is so merlin coded i'm surprised no one talked about it

(this is what i'm talking about a.k.a the lyrics)

My patience is waning Is this entertaining? Our patience is waning Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know Where I'm losing all control 'Cause there's magic in my bones I-I-I got this feeling in my soul Go ahead and throw your stones 'Cause there's magic in my bones

additional:

Wait until the reaper takes my life Never gonna get me out alive I will live a thousand million lives (ooh)

There was never gray in black and white There was never wrong 'til there was right (ooh, oh)

There goes my mind 'Cause there's magic in my bones

[ciaraerin1]

tagatha headcannons (no idea how many of these are original)

when they're sick everyone tries to prevent the other one getting sick but the moment they go to bed the non-sick one is with the sick one for the entire night. merlin knows but doesnt care since he knows he cant stop them (he's alive)

when agatha says she pregnant tedros stares at her for a full minute before absolutely loosing his shit and going crazy cuz hes so excited

reaper follows them both 24/7 and tedros kicks him out of whatever room theyre in when agatha's not looking. she knows. obviously.

on the wedding day tedros bursts into tears as agatha walks down the aisle because hes thinking of what it took to FINALLY get them there

they sneak into the kitchen for midnight snacks so often silkima hides all the snacks. they still find them

agathas the best queen the woods has ever seen and tedros physically cannot take his eyes off her when shes making speeches

Next up is the Alive For Centuries Tournament.

Submit a character that is at least 2 centuries old, along with where they come from and (if you want) propaganda through ask or submit a post.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSED

The character does have to be considered alive to count. I know I said otherwise a while back but I have since changed my mind. As a result ghost or vampire characters, to give a couple examples, no longer count for the purposes of this tournament.

Submissions will be closing on the 15th of September.

Top 4 submissions are the ones I submitted myself.

Hudson and Rex S02E08 - Game of Bones

LARP episodes should be boring. This episode wasn't boring to me. It kind of got burned with repetition but it's an okay episode.

"Are you wounded? I have my healing salts". I don't think this can be fixed with healing salts, buddy.

Obligatory "I hate that they've never done a Halloween episode" comment. Or Christmas. Or really anything aside from a Mardi Gras episode, which... You're not New Orleans or Rio de Janeiro, okay? Why would you choose Mardi Gras instead of Halloween, and for a creepy serial killer episode too? Never mind, I'll expand when we get to S04E15.

Rex: I'm doing my fucking job, pay attention!

We're already past the point where Charlie should wonder, "Why am I getting all these weird cases all of a sudden?"

Jesse is loving this one.

"Without getting into specifics about Half-things or Borgs" "Halflings and Orcs?" lmao

Hallelujah, he finally noticed that Rex is not looking for a bone to chew on.

"He's not a dog, he's my partner" is way less ridiculous than the one time we had a dog on NCIS that was in the Navy, and Gibbs was like, "That's not a dog. That's a Marine", all serious and stone-faced. Believe me. I mean, I get it, they are super helpful, and can often do what humans in law enforcement cannot (for example, bite suspects). But those lines...

Tell him! Also, I think S2 is the season where Charlie brought Sarah the most coffees. Unless it's S5. I've already missed some of these exchanges so I can't check.

Billie the Reaper from Supernatural!

I'm going to assume that the Lodbrock was something this show came up with.

Geeky excitement.

Classic "trying to hide ancient artifacts to avoid losing the land or to avoid stalling construction" case. This isn't sarcastic. I'm Greek, we find ancient stuff everywhere.

What even. Put that tongue inside.

Huh, they had the sword actually buried inside the pillar when Charlie broke it with the hammer. I mean, you can totally add it later.

me: Oh no, no, no, don't you dare raise that sword in the air!

I haven't watched Merlin's Apprentice. Is this a reference? Did they ever find the Excalibur there?

Yes, of course it's a great idea to parade a priceless ancient artifact for the purpose of causing shock and awe when arresting a killer.

This is such a Scooby Doo moment lol

Why didn't you guys dress up? Come on!

Thank you, Jesse. And Rex.

Nice song in the end.

NEW DEMO AND TRAILER THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL

ALSO HELLO CODA AND REAPER AND FREDDIE AND REDESIGNED NOCTURNA!! FUCKING AAAAAAA

EEYYRGTGY4267728ITYGUHDSHJDJDFFD!!!!!!!!!!! GENUINELY I DO NOT HAVE COMPREHENSIVE OR COHERENT WORDS LIKE. I NEED THIS GAME SO BADLY. THIS TRAILER IS KEEPING ME FED FOR MONTHS.

redesigned nocturna genuinely almost made me cry like. to see that they actually listened to feedback and then took steps to rectify their mistake is so refreshing to see, as a person of colour myself it makes me so happy. ALSO SHE IS GORGEOUS STUNNING AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING I LOVE HER

REAPER??????? MY BELOVED??????? i'm so excited to see reaper in here and i'm really curious to see what her role will be, especially considering they're going for realism in some aspects, but her design goes so hard....

CODA. OH MY GOD.

The Poshest Bedstead in Islington part 19

Someone groaned.

“…think…around…” Harry heard Ron as if from very far away, or like a radio broadcast that wouldn’t quite tune in correctly.

Had he groaned? Last he remembered, Sirius slid the Heir’s ring onto his finger. No, that was definitely him groaning like an idiot. Why was it so dark? Oh…yes, his eyes were closed. The lids wouldn’t open no matter how hard he tried, so Harry let the lapping dark take him again.

“…lead box? With a lid, please?”

That sounded like Hermione. What would she want with a lead box? Something terribly peculiar must have happened.

“Do not, Miss Granger!” Snape…what was…oh yes, Uncle Sirius’ last letter but one. What had he said?

…we’ve got Snape here, which isn’t nearly as dismal as you’re imagining. I’ll never admit it, not even under torture, but it is nice having another adult about with an interest in theoretical magic. Mrs. Weasley, bless her socks, has a larger interest in the practical application of charms, potions, and transfiguration. I’ve always liked arguing about the theory behind it, though, and what makes the magic work how it does. Fascinating stuff, that. Have you got into theory yet? Honestly, I can’t remember if they started us on it OWL year or if it was NEWTs. My family expected we’d have a solid background understanding by the time we hit Hogwarts, and woe betide the sluggish scholar. Regarding Snape, though, I always forget how socially adept he can be underneath all the glowering and grouching.

That’s down to good old Lulu and Cissa, I believe. I probably shouldn’t tell you this at all since he’s your professor, but I’m the one who has a scar in the shape of his dentition. He used to hang up on the ceiling somehow (we did try to figure it out but he was a slippery little bastard even then) and drop on you. He bit, too, which is how I got the scar. But the real story is, admittedly, pure gossip. I got it from Reaper Groveside before the Slytherins stopped speaking to me. Old Reapy swore on his mother’s magic that it happened, which made me believe him.

Our first night at Hogwarts, apparently one of the elder Averys said something shocking about Snape’s mother and Snape hauled off and bit him, hard enough to draw blood. They had to have Lucius in since he was the head prefect for Slytherin (head boy, too, come to think of it), and his nibs apparently begged Cissa to teach Snape his manners after he’d handled the fracas. Apparently he looked like he been dragged through a hedge backward after going up against Snape, who, I will tell you, was an absolute shrimp at eleven. That’s how they wound up matched — she demanded it as payment for smartening Snape up…

A giggle burbled up at the thought of Professor Snape dropping on a misbehaving student like some kind of bird of prey or something.

“I’m not that—is he waking up?” Hermione cut her snappish answer to ask.

“Not yet.” That was Ron and a gentle hand smoothed over his forehead. “But I think soon.”

“I’ll remove this and myself. I’ve no doubt the Ministry will be knocking in mere moments.” Professor Snape again.

Harry didn’t blame him for leaving. He’d leave before the Ministry could muck things up if he could get his legs to work. He’d even spend time with Snape, voluntarily, just to be shot of the Ministry.

“The healer will be here soon. Do not touch anything that was disarranged.” Merlin but Snape could make anything sound like a threat.

Harry wondered if he gave lessons. He’d like to stop people with a glare and a growl like Snape did. He just wasn’t sure his face was made for glowering. He’d tried it in the bathroom mirror and mostly he just looked like a wally. Maybe you had to have a lot of practice?

“Do you think—” Hermione cut off again and Harry desperately wanted to be awake to tell her to stop picking at her cuticles. She always did when she sounded like that and Kreacher hated raggedy cuticles on a young gentle person.

“You do not till the fields, Master Harry, there is no excuse for going about with hands looking like that!”

“There should be no irreparable damage done to him. Keep him still if he wakes before the healer arrives. I must go.”

Harry heard the swish of cloak that marked Snape’s departure. Merlin, but he sort of wished he could learn to do that, too. Dead dramatic, but he didn’t think Kreacher would approve. Kreacher liked him as he was (charmingly natural and innocent, Kreacher had crowed), not glowering and swishing his cloak all over the shop. Pity. He never got to do anything really fun. Terrifying and exhilarating? Yes. Purely fun? Absolutely not and the universe would send a strongly worded letter telling him to knock it off.

Maybe Hermione could learn? Out of all of them, she came closest to Snape’s sharp and snippy manner at times. Ron was right out and Nev was much too straightforward. No one who called you a silly sausage swished a cloak like that. He sort of missed Neville’s solidity right now. He did not miss being called a silly sausage, though. Thoroughly undignified.

He tried opening his eyes again and was rewarded with a slit of light. He groaned again and shut them, sharpish. Who turned up all the bloody sconces? And the sun?

“He’s coming round, now.” Ron raised his voice slightly.

“Good…I…Harry?” Uncle Sirius sounded close by.

Harry groaned in response.

“Good lad. You stay as still as possible. Something happened with the family magic and we’re getting it sorted. No, don’t work yourself up.”

How did he know that?

“You’re definitely my Heir, that worked and the family magic is incredibly smug. It was something else with the scar. You’ll be able to move a bit in just a few minutes.”

“Lights…bright.” Harry gritted out. Come to think of it, he could catch an air of smug satisfaction just in the corner of his brain.

Why was magic always so weird around him?

“Oh, oh yes. It’s been…Snape? Wonderful, he’ll make certain it gets to you. Lower the lights, please, Grisham? He’s likely a bit concussed.”

When Harry slitted his eyes open again, the lights glowed dimly. He hummed his approval, forming words being a bit beyond him still.

“Ow,” he managed.

“I’m sure, mate.” Ron looked down at him, his face creased with worry. “You gave us a scare again.”

“Sorry.”

“If I had a knut for every time I heard that out of you because you’d got injured, I’d be independently wealthy,” Ron teased.

“Happened?” he croaked.

“Dunno. We were all out elsewhere and I just had a feeling you needed us. Had a time of convincing mum, I can tell you, but she let me and Hermione come back. We found you and Mr. Black passed out, though he came ‘round pretty sharpish once his valet arrived with the salts. Then the goblins arrived looking really hacked off and he’s been in with them since. Well, there was something sort of black and pulsing next to you. Snape took care of it, but it looks like it may have done something regrettable to the finish.”

Harry wheezed out a chuckle and immediately regretted it.

“What part of ‘keep still’ are you having trouble remembering?” Hermione asked peevishly.

Harry flopped a hand toward her voice and groped for her hand. He found it and squeezed.

“Don’ pick your cuticles,” he managed. “Nanny doesn’t like it.”

Speaking got easier as he went.

“I don’t care about my cuticles right now!” Hermione sounded a bit damp around the edges. “I care that you’re…you’re hurt, again, after you spent all of last year trying not to die and it’s just so…so utterly idiotic!”

“She’s been spending too much time around Snape, I reckon,” Ron confided.

Harry heard Hermione thump Ron on the shoulder.

“That reminds me…er now you can’t go talking about it too much because Hermione and I overheard this, but did you know most of the professors at Hogwarts thought you’d been brought up knowing about magic and with tutors and all that?” Ron changed the subject.

“What?!” Harry’s incredulity sent him into another wheeze.

“We, well, we heard Mr. Black mention your name while we were passing the study and, well, stopped to listen out of habit. Professor Snape was in what Mrs. Weasley described as ���a taking’ over it. That’s why he was so unpleasant in our first lesson. He thought that you’d been tutored and you were just messing about to be cheeky,” Hermione explained.

Harry could practically hear her blushing while she admitted to eavesdropping. Trust Hermione to have scruples over that. She could set a teacher on fire without turning a hair, but eavesdropping? Probably, Harry thought, because there wasn’t a stated rule against setting teachers alight.

“Did they all?” Harry asked.

“I think so,” Hermione answered carefully. “Most of them, anyway.”

That explained some things, at least. The disappointed looks when he wasn’t able to answer a question or get a spell right off, for one. But why wouldn’t anyone have asked rather than just assume he’d ignored his lessons?

“And the mouth on him!” Ron sounded in awe of Snape’s vocabulary. “I didn’t think any professors knew that many rude words. And mum! I’d no idea mum knew that many rude words. Apparently Snape went to see your aunt to get her side of it and…er, he didn’t think much of her explanations.”

“He called her an acidulated bitch!” Hermione, whose parents had had the distinct displeasure of meeting the Dursleys once, added with some glee.

“Suppose he’d know one,” Harry muttered. “She aimed a frying pan at me once.”

The silence spoke for his friends. He knew that silence. That was the ‘what the actual fuck did you just say?’ silence that happened every time he shared a childhood anecdote. It was also the silence that meant people would start to distance themselves from him because clearly he was just weird.

“Harry, did you ever tell anyone that before?” Hermione asked carefully.

“Why? She’d already made everyone think I was a liar and a delinquent. They wouldn’t have believed me.”

Silence again. This time, somehow, thicker than before.

“I think maybe I need to have a word with Fred and George.” Ron sounded thoughtful.

“Mmm, Dad might have a few ideas on the non-magical side of things,” Hermione mused. “Where did you say your uncle worked, Harry? I wonder if my parents know anyone…”

“What?” Harry croaked.

“Oh, just that they probably deserve a little life ruining. Just a titch, mind. Not enough to get done for muggle baiting or anything. Hmm, p’raps I should tell dad. Mum’s good for a Howler but dad’ll get things done.”

“I don’t think I understand?” He’d never been so confused in his life.

“Aren’t people usually completely and utterly furious with your relatives when they hear?” Hermione asked.

“Usually they stop speaking to me and pretend I don’t exist.”

Ron made a choked noise. “Right, well, I’m not like that and neither is Hermione. We’re right here with you.”

Harry exhaled a shaky breath. He opened his mouth to express some of the mess of emotions swirling about inside him and—

“What has been done to Kreacher’s lordship?”

The great, booming front doorbell sounded. Faintly, Harry heard “Aurors! Open the door!”

“Oh, balls!” Sirius groaned from across the room.
