GUESS WHAT I SAW

your badly summarised wips and i can't live without knowing what's up with survival is a team sport and we lay amongst the thorns give me the lore please

First of all, I love you Letters, thank you for the ask.

Okay so, lore behind We All Lie Amongst The Thorns and Survival Is A Team Sport. I have done proper wip summaries on my intro post here, but I'd be happy to go into more detail.

We All Lie Amongst The Thorns is a fairy tale retelling. The main character is my version of Sleeping Beauty. The story starts on her presentation ceremony (the day about a week after her birth when she is presented to the public) where a fairy from each discipline will bless her, except for the divination fairy, who will read her future. After the blessings are given the divination fairy has her vision and says that she will be cursed to fall into a deep sleep on her sixteenth birthday, and that this curse will bring about the kingdom's downfall. The king, terrified of losing his power, sends the newborn baby deep into the woods, far away from him. And thus the story begins.

Survival Is A Team Sport starts out on a beautiful sunny summer day, the main character Camryn's birthday. He and his friends are on the way to his house after school to celebrate when suddenly the sky goes dark and strange things start dropping from the sky. The kids' path home is blocked, so they take cover in a nearby garage. The sounds of chaos continue throughout the night, and when they finally peek out in the morning, everything has changed.

SHANA HAPPY VALENTINES I MADE IT IN TIME! Siat house elf lore with Dobrogost and Windesdae? Literally so excited for this one, LOVED the house elves in ngaw!

a continuation of 1

They name themselves.

House elves don't have parents. They're never children. They spring fully formed from whatever bore them, be it earth or sea or sky.

They don't need names, really. They don't use names with each other because they don't have to. It's the house elf who's in that brook over there, or the one in that rose bush, or even those ones that take care of the clearing.

They only start using them when people notice them. Not always humans, but persons figure out they're there, and they exist, and they ask, "Who are you? What's your name?"

It didn't matter much to them, because they knew who they were, but it seemed very important to the people coming to talk to them, so they obliged, and became more than what they had sprung from.

That was a gift, later, to have something more to their identity than the home that no longer existed.

i am .... So tempted to take all the necromancy lore in siat and all three fun necromancer ocs and just give them their own story that's not connected to harry potter or at all set in the universe ...

☼ and ⭐️ (sorry I’m on iPhone) for SiaT pretty please 🥺 its one of my all time favorite fics

☼: how i came up with the idea

i just thought a draco harry soulmate story when they’re kids who still kinda hate each other and aren’t really looking to fall in love (on account of being 12) would be interesting because like. if you don’t have lust or years of indignant pigtail pulling between you, and you’re both at your most obnoxious (again, 12) then how do you get out of that to something better? 

lol it was also only supposed to be a small oneshot, about 6-8k, but we’re all aware how that turned out

★: something i’m proud to have accomplished

oh god. the whole fic, honestly? i’m just so glad people like it. in siat i just fill it with things i love and that i think are fun and interesting and try not to get hung up on if it’s too weird, even though there are times when i’m like, this is boring no one cares about this but me, but somehow you guys still like it even though i fill it with ocs and made up lore and stuff?? it’s just so nice to make something people really like that is also really weird

How dare you. I've been wanting to buckle down and write dnd lore all weekend, but all I've been doing is reading siat. It's too fantastic. I've stayed up until 5 am twice reading it. I adore all the snakes. The way you write them is incredible. You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

ahaha i’m sorry!! :) <3

Hi, I absolutely love SIAT, it's one of my favorite HP fics and I've reread it too many times to count. I just finished it again and I was wondering about what you consider canon form the first book, do you consider the first book's plot completely, word for word, canon in SIAT even if some of the lore (soulmates, etc.) isn't or just the most basic of the happenings in the book?

mostly canon happenings, i’d say. a lot of people were like “HEY THEY’RE DEAD!!!” when i introduced the flamels, but honestly i don’t even consider that going against canon because we never hear how they died or if they did. dumbles is just like “without the elixer they’ll die” and for all we know the flamels were yucking it up in their hot tub full of philosophers stones like scrooge mcduck

and it just never got mentioned because it wasn’t part of harry’s journey

[shanastoryteller]

Is there any overlap between conceptual stuff for your ho fics? Like: the way blood is in NGAWB. Is that also true in SIAT? If not, are any worldbuilding concepts for the wizarding world the same in both stories?

N O P E

ngawb is my horrible out of control lore child where i’m just like “i’m building MY OWN MAGICAL WORLD I GUESS and also these young folks are in love” which isn’t at all what i intended but is what happened

the myth/lore of each universe is separate! :)
