☀️As Above, So Below❄️

A literate roleplay

In the wilds of Alaska lies a glacial valley divided between two warring Clans. Haunted by a history of bloodshed, tyranny, and endless war.

Following a 12 moon timeskip, new leaders emerge in the Clans. Following Shiverstar’s death, his deputy, Houndslash, is on the path to lead RiftClan and hopefully work towards peace between the Clans, while in RidgeClan, the once community focused Clan is left even more divided when both their contentious leader and well-liked deputy die suddenly in a rockfall. Left with only their newly appointed healer, Snowgale, to guide them, some warriors are vying for power hoping to win their Clanmates’ and StarClan’s approval.

Tension is higher than ever, and the cats of these Clans must rush to discover the truth behind the conflict or face destruction at the claws of the other.

—

☀️RidgeClan, cats of the golden cliffs, who admire the jump and never fear the fall. A Clan that once valued community above all, has become a shamble of its former self, left divided ever since their previous leader, Soaringstar, made the controversial decision to crush RiftClan under an avalanche and exile the RidgeClan cats who warned them, with two RidgeClan cats left dead in the process. This group lives high up in the mountains, traversing rocky cliffs, glaciers, and grassy foothills to hunt.

❄️RiftClan, dwellers of the deep and stalkers of the dark. Previously recovering from the bloody and tyrannical rule of Slatestar, these cats lost many friends in an avalanche caused by RidgeClan, and now with Shiverstar passing on as well, some have grown weary of the war. These cats live in a small cave system and hunt in the pine forests of the southern part of the region.

Oh I love HP and the Werewolf Consultant! Amazing recs, thank you so much 🙌

Hello, good day to you <3 . I wanted to know if you have any fic rec where draco mends his family relationship with Andromeda after the war? I was wondering if there's one.

Hi anon! I could only think of Slithering by astolat but I’m sure I’ve read a few more… maybe my followers can help?

[the-determined-sparks-au]

hmm for the five truths... blizzardstorm, rosetteanthem, haddockbounce (any/all of the combined cat s actually)

Five truths for all three!

Blizzardstorm

Blizzardstorm loves her Kingdom, she would do anything for it, but she knew that Thundergrowth’s love for her was conditional. When she had only been five moons old, her father, Shreddedear, the Attendant of Heatherwing came for her and her sister. And Thundergrowth let him take him, not wanting anything to do with the half breeds. Split Kit deals were ok and encouraged to keep the blood fresh, but kits from the love of two Felis from different kingdoms were wrong and hated. She knew the only reason Thundergrowth came for her was because Goosefeather order it…because she was to be the next Bishop. They dod not care for her… they did not care for Snow… and they did not care for her mother, Loonflower

Blizzardstorm hated her father, she wanted nothing to do with him even when he had tried after Bishop Heatherwing had exiled him to Thundergrowth to be the “father” he wanted to be. She hated him more when he got with Harpyshine, the former drifter who joined moons before she was born. She hated that he had moved on from Loonflower so quickly, when she died because of him. She was not saddened at all when he pass during the Great Second Hunger, before his and Harpyshine’s litter second litter was born

Blizzardstorm’s relationship with her sister, Snowgale was strained after their mother’s death and even more strained when Snowgale began to talk with Thistleclaw of Riverglade. She thought the tom was a bad influence on her littermate, making her hate herself for being halfkingdom and making her more blood thirsty. She hated Thistleclaw when the other encourage Snowgale to leave Thundergrowth and become fully River, in an attempt to cut ties of her bad blood. She hated him when this cause her sister’s death during a battle for Sunningrocks, her sister crushed underneath rubble just when she just had her son Bristle.

Blizzardstorm loved her children, Rosette, Duck, Primrose but she knew it was not in Lady Nocta’s plans for her to have children. She knew that her children were not safe… not with the dreams of blood and the taste of it when she woke. But she knew for their safety she could not raise them… at least not all of them. She mourns for Duck and Primrose but she knew that they were in a safer place she hope that she made the right decision

She is very much bisexual.

Haddockbounce

He did not get his broken jaw from being chase by Goosefeather. Instead he had slipped on some rocks in the Wallow Pool where the kits of the River learn to swim. His mother, Rainflower had tried to get him rename into Crooked but the Bishop at the time Brambleberry didn’t allow for it and this had her declare unfit as a mother and had her rights over Sweet and Haddock away. Patchshell also divorce her.

Haddock still left Riverglade for a bit, Rainflower while no longer his mother, still spit vile things at the poor kit blaming him for splitting their family apart. He found himself at the Outpost, and soon found himself under the care of Ignis and his sister, Uetus who just had her kits. While there he met many Felis and other creatures who were traveling through Gatali. There he learn to be proud of himself, and not what others say bother him. When he left, Ignis followed him.

When he returned, he was welcome with amazement and happiness, and soon found himself apprenticed under none other than Bishop Brambleberry, much to the displeasure of Thistleclaw who has been trying to convince the Bishop that he was her heir, for he too spoke to the Wraiths. But Bishop Brambleberry had told him that the spirits that he talk to had no good intentions for him and that he need to stop speaking to them. To this day, Haddockbounce does not believe he listen to her.

He got the suffix bounce for how no matter how many times he has fallen, stumbled or push down he always seem to get back onto his paws with a smile on his face.

No one questioned him when he brought Stone and Moss into the camp, no one question him on who their mother was. There was no doubt that they were his children, with his markings on their pelt. While whispers come and go, no one spoke ill of them in front of him or the two, knowing they would only get glares. But whispers are still spoken, at the blue in their pelt

Rosetteanthem

She was the weakest of her litter, and was thought to not survive and yet she did, growing bigger and bigger each day. It is thought that Lady Solta had bless her with not only her markings but her strength

She doesn’t remember much of her littermates, she had been young when a fox had supposedly been brave enough to sneak in and snatch them up. And yet, she sometimes questions why the fox didn’t get her as well, with her being the weakest at the time.

For as long as she remembers, Rosetteanthem had dreams of blood, of some threat that was to come. That she was to prevent it… and yet Goosefeather didn’t give her to her mother to train… instead he gave her to Harpyshine… her mother when she took over, did not take up her training. The path to the Bishop was close to her, but she keeps an eye on the kits, any of who can be the next Bishop… she hopes that she can prove to be an helpful advisor, to one day be an Attendant

Rosetteanthem doesn’t have many friends. She has mostly followers, Darkstripe who wanted to anger his father Goosefeather stayed by her side, Daffodilfang soon follow wanted to be close to Darkstripe…. The one she really can’t count as her friend is Lavendernose, who always try to make it her goal to smile

She is terrified of water, having almost been drown in the river. She swears to this day that some Felis had pulled her into the river and had push her under. And she makes sure to stay far from it anytime she patrols the border between them and Riverglade

Rose Granger-Weasley knows how the fairy tale should go. Shouldn’t Harry get a happily ever after?

Author's Note: LowerEastSide - I've been a fan of yours for years. When it came time to choose a remix, I was immediately charmed by this adorable story and knew it had to be the one! I hope this peek into Harry's POV will make you happy :) Thanks so much to agentmoppet for the great beta and cheerleading and to MaesterChill for the last-minute Britpick! Any remaining mistakes are of course my own :)

my piece from 2019 for @cauldronzine that I never posted! sleepy draco and harry :)

@hd-remix​ ran a fest in 2015 based off of this gorgeous piece of art! The fics generated from that fest can be found here:

And a few more dark mark removal recs (which pre-date the artwork) here:

https://snowgall.livejournal.com/5198.html

(thinking I may need to do an updated rec list soon!)

Okay, this isn't strictly about a fic, but there are fics about it...there's a work of fan art where Harry is trying to remove the dark mark from Draco's arm with his wand. It's really gorgeous. Draco is wearing a waistcoat. Erm, that's all I can remember. I remember reading a fic based on that, so if you can only find the fic and not the art, that's fine!

Thank you for all you do!

If you're still taking Secret Santa prompts, could I please request Drarry art gallery + bells + cookies for @snowgall Thank you for such a nice idea.

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy - 9th December in the HP Secret Santa(thanks for the ask, Merry Christmas @snowgall )

requests are still open here

Potter was late. Very late. Very very very very very very- Draco stopped to cast a discreet Tempus to check how very very later Potter was. Twenty minutes. Twenty whole minutes that Draco had spent rattling around The National Gallery foyer, buffeted by crowds, eyed by security guards, it really was too much.Resolving - once again - to only give Potter one more minute before leaving; Draco resumed his vigil next to the information kiosk.

***

“M’drunk Mafoy,” Potter slurred, leaning back against the damp brick wall. “Want this, want you, but want to do it properly, yuh’know?” Earnest, bloodshot eyes gazed up at Draco.

“Of course, of course, I… I…” Draco trailed off, grinning helplessly at Potter who started grinning back. “I…”“You…”“I’ve wanted this, you, for a while now,” Draco exhaled, reaching forward to run his hand through the black and grey curls behind Potter’s right ear. “So…” Draco took another deep breath as Potter turned to nuzzle his wrist, “I can wait, of course. I’ll wait.”“Not for long,” said Potter, his lips moving against Draco’s wrist. “Just ‘til tomorrow. M’just drunk is all.”“Yes, I think, I might be too. I… but that’s not why this happened?” Draco took a step back, untangling his hand from Potter’s hair. Frowning, Potter hooked an arm around the small of Draco’s back and pulled him back in.“Course not, meet me tomorrow.”“Alright, where?”“Gallery, National-” Potter paused to hiccup, “Gallery. 3 o’clock, yeah?”“National Gallery, 3 o’clock.” Draco found himself smiling again.***He was a fool, a sentimental fool who should have known better. Finally leaving the National Gallery, Draco was met by a gust of freezing sleet. Trafalgar Square was crammed with shoppers and tourists, a group of shivering buskers were playing Jingle Bells on steelpans.“So this is hell”, Draco thought to himself as he hustled his way through the crowd. The nearest Floo-point was Charing Cross Station but after nearly colliding with a hen party Draco turned left.Heading up St. Martin’s Place, Draco wrapped his arms around himself. It hurt. The promise of Potter, the lack of Potter. All the important parts of Draco had been scooped out by Potter’s green eyes and dopey smile and now the only thing left was hurt.The traffic roared as he stumbled along, so distracted by the sleet and the pain that he almost didn’t hear the shout.“Oy Malfoy!” A hand latched onto Draco’s elbow and swung him around. “Didn’t think you were going to come,” Potter smiled up at Draco, white flicks of sleet sticking to his eyelashes.Huffing in outrage, Draco drew himself up to his full height, ready to unleash a world of pain. Potter’s lateness and then this near-Slytherin attempt to cast Draco as the late party was too much. It would not be born, Draco may be a Malfoy but he was also a man of blood and nerves and hopes and for Potter to play with him in this manner-Unaware of his impending doom, Potter continued to burble on, steering Draco towards a doorway where a sign welcomed visitors to London’s National Portrait Gallery.“Couldn’t remember if we said the National Gallery or the National Portrait Gallery,” Potter explained, bashfully gazing up at Draco. “But you’re here so it looks like I guessed the right one. Shall we go in?”

***

Draco never did get around to unleashing a world of pain. Instead he finally agreed to call Potter “Harry” and snogged him senseless next to a portrait of the queen’s favourite Corgi.

Um because the anxiety would eat me alive and what would I say anyway?? Geez tumblrbot try to kill me whydoncha.

[firethesound]

I don't think I've seen anyone else pick "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" yet? I think that's my favorite, or at least, one of :) It's just a lovely, entrancing little story, and I love the whole premise. (And if I could add another, I'd pick the "Don't Think Twice" series, because it's full of smutty goodness, but also because I still care about those characters!)

No, no one’s mentioned it yet! I’ve been really pleased to see how spread out everyone’s answers are, and it’s so interesting to see that people have connected strongly with different fics. And omggg Don’t Think Twice! XD XD XD

[sitp-recs]

Ahh I’m so thrilled to see your list, those are A+, amazing picks as well! I almost caved like I did when someone asked for older fics and I gave them a 30+ reclist 😂💀 choosing only two was as heartbreaking as it sounds - and some years were especially impossible, suddenly I had to pick between 3 fics by the same author (hi hello astolat and Bix, how could you publish so much in the same year??). But this was a fun exercise and I’m super excited to see who else wants to join and share their recs! Thank you for putting this awesome list together Snowgall 🙌🏼

Drarry recs: Three per year!

Earlier today @sitp-recs posted a rec list consisting of two favorite Drarry fics per year, which is the sort of thing that’s exactly up my alley!

So I thought, hey, I should try that too! And it was impossible? Like I just had to make it three fics per year so I could fit in all my favorite authors (I limited myself to one fic per author which was incredibly difficult)*

Even after cheating like that, I still had to leave off Draco at Nineteen by birdsofshore (since I had a fic by her for 2012 instead), which almost broke me. But see, I squeezed it in here anyway!

Amazingly, I think @sitp-recs and I only have two fics in common - but that was nearly deliberate on my part as I was trying not to duplicate their list :) Their picks are all awesome as well!

Cats of Thundergrowth: Bishop Blizzardstorm

Names: Blizzard, Blizzardpaw, Blizzardstorm

Identity: Cisgender molly- she/her

Orientation: Bisexual- Tom leaning

Rank: Bishop

Former Rank(s): Crafter Apprentice, Bishop's Heir

A large blue-gray tabby molly with patches of yellow scales on her shoulders and the back of her neck. While large she is very skinny for a Thunder and has very long thin legs, making her one of the tallest cats in all of Thundergrowth, which makes her very imposing when she lectures you.

Blizzardstorm was born to Loonflower of Thundergrowth and Shreddedear of Windmoor, but she wouldn't learn of her father until he came barging into the camp all but demaning her and her sister, Snow. Her mother giving her up without a fight formed a crack in her heart, and it only got bigger when she learn that her uncle Goosefeather was the one to force Loonflower to fight for the sisters, which caused her death under the claws of Hawkheart. This also strained her relationship with her father, who the Bishop of Windmoor had exile him to Thundergrowth to be the father he wished to be. Blaming him for the death of her mother, and turning his attention to Harpyshine, a Drifter who recently joined, as if Loonflower didn't matter...as if she and Snow didn't matter. The nick in her ear was the last gift Shreddedear gave her when she tried to gain his attention. The crack grew bigger in her heart.

Of course her relationship didn't help with her relationship with Snow, the two sisters pulling apart once they were made into apprentices. While Blizzardpaw wanted to make Shreddedear proud of her and pay attention, Snowpaw wanted nothing to do with their Sire. She hated that she share the blood of someone from a different Kingdom, hated the fact that she started grew feathers along her neck. Blizzardpaw and then Blizzardstorm had tried her best to help her sister, but it didn't help with Thistleclaw of Riverglade started whispering in Snowgale's ears, saying that maybe a new start would help her. The two sisters would argue about it fiercely, but Blizzardstorm would gain claw marks as a goodbye as Snowgale went to Riverglade to join her mate. And thus the crack grew even more.

The only good thing in her life that Blizzardstorm thinks is her kit, Rosetteanthem. Born from in a litter of three from a bout of weakness between her and Haddockbounce of Riverglade, she couldn't help but love her three kits. But that winter from Chinoa's wails were fierce. She needed to bring all her attention towards her kingdom as her predecessor and uncle was slowly wasting away, she was all but ruling Thundergrowth. So with a heavy heart, she gave two of her kits to their father, while keeping her strongest daughter. She is very attached to her, but also strict, fearing for what the Gods have in store for her daughter and hoping to sway her to a new path.

She is very tired, but she stands strong for her comrades, the burden of their faith for her on her shoulders. Though she finds herself staring at the newest member of the Kingdom, and is wondering if the stars are finally giving her a break, if they will finally allow her to rest

Mentor(s): Stonethroat, Goosefeather (deceased)

Apprentice(s): Cricketleap (deceased)

Parents: Loonflower (mother/deceased) and Shreddedear (sire/deceased)

Sibling(s): Snowgale (littermate/deceased), Raven (Half-brother), Dust (Half-brother)

Mate: Haddockbounce (separated/complicated)

Kits: Rossetteanthem (daughter), Stonelull (son), Mossflower (daughter)
