slyther-ing mentioned you on a post “My new headcanon is that Oliver has 3 older sisters, all obsessed with...”
@safarikalamari​ i got too excited pls ignore my too quick enter but "rising in bastard, moon in twat" is precisely what oliver sends to marcus when he asks for a reading for the first time (they are standing in the middle of the library)(oliver made a big show of looking up the stars based on marcus' bday)(marcus wants to deck a Ho™)
I’M SCREAMING
but also when oliver figures out marcus’ actual signs and he’s like “oh crap we’re more than compatible....” and he tries to cover it with “that just means GREAT RIVALS AHAHAHA” 
and angelina just deadpans like “just kiss him already u watery bitch” (cancers are v emotional if we’re still on the oliver-cancer, marcus-capricorn hcs)

in a flintwood mafia!au who'd be the one who scares everyone and who'd be the actually reaaaaallly scary one?
ok erin, first - how dare you. (tbh this immediately reminds me of jules’ cuddling mafia husbands hc that i want to make an edit for but i haven’t?? rip). second, ily. tysm for asking bb because wow i just thought about them like.. last week?? omg is this fate? is this the real life? is this just fantasy?
i’m gonna say they’re equally scary in their own way.
oliver is as scary as he’s charming. people love to greet him when they meet on the street, in the shop, in his club. polite to the ladies and the elderly, playful to the kids in the neighbourhood, and won’t think twice to punch the guy who’s mean to his mother (only when the woman’s back turned away, though). but the thing is, it’s different rules for his business partners. oliver is scary in the way he holds a glass of scotch in his hand, lazy smirk on his face, as realization dawn on the other person’s face; it’s either their whole life basically ruined, or if it’s more serious and oliver has reached his limit, the poison in their drink. yes. oliver hates blood, he trains his men to do it clean. but he’s also scary in the way he goes crazy in a fight, his men would say he turns into an animal. if he hates blood when he’s sane, it doesn’t matter when he finds out it trickles from his lips or his nose - he won’t stop until he’s bathed in them. oliver is scary when he sighs, “i don’t think we should do this.” a warning - there’ll always be a bloodshed. he won’t be the one that throws the first punch, but he will always be the victor. oliver is really scary because he could make every person who’s done wrong to him disappear in a second and people would still genuinely say ‘good morning, ollie’ on the street.
marcus is another story. people would avoid to look at him in the eye, but still come to him when they need ‘help’. he’s also the kind of guy that pet random cats and dogs on the street, and he gets pissed off at anyone who looks at his pet hedgehog the wrong way when they come into his office to offer a ‘proposal’ - (“this meeting is no more the moment you snort condescendingly at bobby” / “why do you give a name to it?” / “your mother calls you fucking ‘doodle’, do you see me asking?”). he plays a harmonica when he’s bored. there’s a stack of formal shoes catalogs under his coffee table because he’s mad for them. also lowkey because most people look down when they see him. marcus, unlike oliver, never gets his hands dirty. if he can help it, he would refuse to have a gun on his person at all. besides, he prefers pocket knife anyway because it’s multi-function & handy af?? there’s always a day when he raises one of his eyebrows as someone who sits in front of him talks about oliver in poor choice of words. the movement is subtle, and no one but his men would notice. the person would be found heavily injured & unconscious either in a sewer, by the riverbank, or that one time, in a dumpster the next day.marcus is really scary in the way he puffs the smoke from his lungs into the thin air, slowly, looking bored, as his enemies drop dead before they can even touch him. nobody really knows how he does that.
sometimes the two of them could be seen walking side by side on the street. oliver guffaws while marcus smirks. and no one would dare to pause to look at them - no matter how much they want.
TL;DR - marcus scares everyone but i think oliver is the one they should worry about.

[PEBBLYSAND'S 2021 FIC REC LIST] - HARRY POTTER EDITION
hi all! i hope you're doing well during this rather awkward week between christmas and new year's! i'm currently sitting on my mum's balcony under the southern france sunshine, enjoying a much welcome break from the grim winter irish weather.
as you might know, i'm not typically one to build extensive rec lists but as 2021 is coming to an end, i thought it would be fun to look back on the fics i read and bookmarked this year and give you a sort of 'best of' (especially since a lot of you might be enjoying some time off at the moment and looking for things to read). as a forewarning, while i did pick my ultimate favourite ten, these are in no particular order. i've tried to keep the ships varied (writing this list has made me realise how much i actually gravitate most towards a specific type of prose than any actual pairing) and am also reccing only works that are finished. if you want my full rec list, please don't hesitate to look through my public bookmarks on ao3, where i keep my most treasured finds.
pour a little salt, we were never here by youcallitwinter (harry/hermione-ish ; 1,274 words ; canon-compliant [1]): so, look. i appreciate that most of my following will not want to hop on the harry/hermione bandwagon with me (fair enough) but this one is definitely one of my faves within a very specific trope of harry-and-hermione-and-all-the-reasons-why-it-didn't-happen, which is probably my favourite trope for this pairing. this fic has some of the most gorgeous writing i have ever seen, period (literally every line is a quotable gem). it's about growing up and accepting life as it presents itself - the summary explains it much better than i currently am: "What happens isn't particularly epic, or even tragic. What happens is stupid; they all just grow up. That's it, that's the whole story." and yeah, that's it, that's the whole story and it's a formidable, heartbreakingly beautiful and realistic story. .
all is quiet in the clearing by slyther-ing (andromeda/ted ; 1,304 words ; canon-compliant): since reading turncoats (which is obviously the ultimate andromeda fic and is my actual favourite fic ever - if you haven't read it, please leave and go read it now), i've been low-key obsessed by andromeda's story and her trajectory from a young, Black, slytherin girl to resistance hero and grandmother to teddy. this fic presents a good insight into her relationship with ted, which is obviously tragic but so very interesting within the potter canon. it's rather short but spans over a few years as ted and andromeda meet, grow up, grow old, up until ted's death. it's beautiful and heartbreaking in all the right ways. if you're interested in that ship, i would highly recommend giving it a read. .
glass over the flame by thegreybeyond (harry/hermione-ish ; 1857 words ; canon-compliant): this is my second rec in the harry-and-hermione-and-all-the-reasons-why-it-didn't-happen category. the writing in this one is fantastic and it strikes similar cords in terms of growing up, coming of age, etc. as the first fic i recommended. i love this one because i think it very subtly studies themes of friendship and how there-might-have-been-something-but-we-chose-not-to doesn't have to be a heartbreak either. .
naive: in defense of hannah abbott by dirgewithoutmusic (neville/hannah ; 5,557 words ; canon-compliant): now, full disclosure, if you've been following me for a while, you'll know that i'm a dirgewithoutmusic stan. i've had to limit myself to only reccing one work per series because if i didn't, this whole rec list would just be dirgewithoutmusic. i've been slowly working my way through their series we must unite inside her walls or we'll crumble from within which is centered around hogwarts houses and different secondary characters, and after turncoats last year, this one was definitely my favourite i read this year. the degree of imagination and worldbuilding this author masters in shaping entire, fully fleshed characters out of the very little information we have about them in the books is truly unbelievable - i am forever in awe. this fic is mostly about hannah, her relationship with neville, the loss of her mother in book six, and a reminder that it'd okay to take time to grieve, and not to always be 'fighting' or 'okay.' it just such a gorgeous story that makes you cry and smile at the same time, just like life does. i adore this fic so much. .
the kids who chose themselves by dirgewithoutmusic (gen ; 9,714 words ; AU): i read this fic once. i will likely never read it again. it has lived in my head rent-free since then, has fucked up my psyche forever and is probably one of the most stunning what-ifs i have ever read. it outlines the scenario of what would have happened if both neville and harry had died that night on hallowe'en and there was no chosen one. i'm generally nnot one to enjoy fics where harry is dead but i suppose this is the exception. if you want to read about muggle/wizard alliances, clandestine schools, and a worldbuilding that is fucking stellar and will make you forever in awe of what this author can accomplish with less than 10,000 words, go read this immediately. the other works in the series are also amazing but this one just stuck with me. .
savior complex by @hiinnys (harry/ginny ; 1,495 words ; canon-compliant - the fic i tagged as not epilogue-compliant but i'm not sure why): someone once recommended this fic to me first asking me if i'd written it and calling it very "me," which i think i can't ignore when placing it on this list. this being said, not only did i not write this, but it's also written probably ten times better than i ever could. @hiinnys's writing is everything i adore down to the lack of capital letters (lol) and an amazing use of language and flow. it's a simple, post-war story around an ipod and harry's love of muggle music and running, topped with a gorgeous picture of his growing relationship with ginny, showing that you can create beautiful tales out of thin air. i can't stress how beautiful this is (and funny, too) and it warms my heart every time i read it. .
warm front by flagpoles (harry/ginny ; 5,332 words ; canon-compliant): as someone who's traveled quite a bit and lived in a number of different countries, i adore the trope of harry going traveling after the war and this fic (and the next one) does this so well. harry moves to australia with teddy and andromeda a couple of years after the battle and slowly learns to find his way home. there's a lot of letters, funny quotes and deep phone chatter between harry and the rest of the gang, and a very interesting study of how you can both miss people but also need to be alone sometimes. this fic is fluff and fun, and warm feelings done incredibly well (see, i'm not always bleak and angsty!) - i love the style and the dialogue and the cleverness of it all. it's something that i don't think i could ever write but which i aboslutely adored reading. flagpoles also very recently released another fic which i'm not listing here officially but also brought me a lot of joy. .
maps to the stars' homes by lizbee (gen - slight harry/ginny ; 7,475 words ; AU): i think i first read this fic years and years ago, but only rediscovered it last may. this one sort of explores the same trope as the previous one (harry goes traveling after the war) but does it in a completely different way as it was written in '05, so before book seven came out. it's a very interesting take in what could have been and what the war could have looked like if written differently, though it's uncanny how the end point is so strangely the same. i absolutely love the non-chronological structure of this fic (we all know i'm a sucker for non-linear narratives) as well as this idea that muggles could just be told about magic casually. this fic was a huge inspiration for how i wrote mia's reaction to magic in castles. .
the seam between by @copper-dust (gen ; 26,188 words ; canon-compliant): i think i'm not alone in saying i absolutely adore this fic, it's - imo - got potential to become a classic. to give you a little bit of a pitch, this story is (mostly) set during the summer between harry fourth and fifth years, before he makes it to grimmauld place. as far as i'm concerned, it sets the canon within that gap of time we never heard of in the books, describes his daily life at the dursleys', his relationship with petunia, the ongoing struggle to come to terms with cedric's death, etc. it's a fic i didn't even know i needed - i mostly read post-war fanfic to makes sense of the giant nothing that is the post-war world in my head - and i'd never really realised that there was a gap in those few weeks spent at the dursleys that i was interested in filling. in terms of the writing itself, i'll just what probably everybody knows at this stage, which is that copper_dust is one of the best (if not the best) writers in fandom at the moment. every word on that page is studied, thought through, chosen and exact, in a way that i've rarely ever seen, including in original fiction. the work and its tone is subtle, clever, and just right; harry's teenage, inner voice is rendered absolutely perfectly - as i've said before, this fic is canon, as far as i'm concerned. what i particularly love about this fic is the amount of research done on the historical context of that period of the 90s, which gives such an immersive feel to the story. you'll often hear that there is poetry in the ordinary, and this fic is the ultimate illustration of that. it is shaping beauty and truth out of the daily life of a scared and scarred teenage boy, in a truly invaluable way. i could not recommend this fic (and the rest of copper_dust's work) more. .
toxicology by speechwriter (gen ; 2,942 words): to me, this fic probably exists somewhere within a space of canon-compliant and not, which is why i'll let you be the judge. i really hesitated on what i'd recommend as my last point (close runner ups were: bless the children give them triumph yet and it's a small crime and i've got no excuse) but i chose this one because it's not only incredibly well written but also dives into an interesting concept: since harry was a horcrux, did being around him impact ron and hermione's personalities growing up, the same way the locket did in the forest? if so, in what way? i'm not sure that i fully subscribe to this theory but i think it's a terribly interesting idea and the exploration is done superbly well in this fic. i would very highly recommend.

Also slyther-dors (?)                            
~
Oooh, I like that too! Kris definitely has the desire for fame and great exploits bit, and also being ready to jump in and Do Something about a situation. Like, even while internally being sure that he’s not at all qualified to handle giving comfort and probably going to fuck it up, it never occurs to him to not try. Which is a very Gryffindor thing. And also apparently Slyther-dors are a thing, are they? That actually seems to work well... :D :D
(also don’t mind me squee-ing in delight that someone else has thoughts about this for my OCs! <3333 )
