#so like what tool how deep how their skin scars(purple/pink/if its raised or dips) how they feel about it what formation the cuts are in

[blood4love]

Also here's a writing tip: start a new paragraph every time someone talks, some else talks, the "camera" angle changes, a character shows up, a new idea, topic, or subject is brought up, time passes or reverts to an earlier point, the setting changes, the mood shifts, or if you want to create dramatic effect. This was you won't have just a big wall of text! Hope this helped :) otherwise this is soooo good

Anyways in the tags I'm gonna talk in depth about how to write self harm so yk its gonna be triggering also I forgot to say this in the tags but I mentioned how neville was out of character and honestly I don't really I mind and I don't blame u for that since in ur list of characters u could write u never said u could write him 😭 also also I wrote this while super duper tired so just like pls ignore any spelling mistakes and try to fill in words that I missed😭

Hi! I'm wondering if you can write something where Neville (harry Potter) walks in on the reader self harming or sees her scars or healing cuts and comforts her or like helps her dress her cuts and then like how he would help her to not do that and find better ways to self soothe. Thank you so much in advance, I love your writing by the way!

Hello my love of course! ❤️ thank you so much for asking me to write this for you. I hope I did a good job x I did make this a mix of friend and lover vibes INCASE you’d prefer him to just be your friend or be your lover so I hope it sits right. and I wanted to add a side note that each thing that is said is so true x if you are struggling with SH just know that you ARE loved, you ARE precious, your special and everything is going to be okay. It gets easier ❤️ much love - Gaia xx

TW- Mention of SH, depression, mental health struggles some mention of blood

There you were, sitting on your bathroom floor crying harder then you had all week. The stress was eating at you, it felt as if each day you woke up trying to fake a smile and push through, a new curveball would hit you. It was getting too much. Family, friends, studies, the media, and now your own mind was hurting you. You just wanted to feel something other then numb. “Oh god what have I done?” You cry out looking down at your wrists and thighs. You just wanted the pain to go away, to feel something, to feel alive and real. You couldn’t see from the blurred tears in your eyes, you could just see the faint red in your vision and the tiled floor near you. Your mind was telling you lies. That you weren’t beautiful, that life was not worth living, it’s too hard, you didn’t mean anything to anyone. But it was all lies. “Hey love I was just wondering where you- oh! Hey Y/N are you alright?” You hear a voice and it startled you. You jump and instantly wipe your tears. It was Neville. “Oh no please go away you can’t see me like this I-I thought the door was locked I- please..” you stutter and tremble. He drops to his knees and his beautiful brown eyes look into yours. “Hey what’s going on? Tell me love what’s happened?” With worry all over his face he looks down and notices your bleeding. This hasn’t been the first time he has seen you do this but it was so long ago, he didn’t know you were struggling. And all he wanted to do was help. “Hey love it’s alright come here please. I got you” he wraps his arms around you and you fall into him feeling his warm and secure arms hold you. He was your safe place and always will be. “Please don’t hurt yourself darling, I know it’s hard and I know your not doing okay But you can always come to me when you need to alright?” He leans over you and pulls out some bandages from the sink cupboard. “Now let’s get these cleaned up alright?” He sends you a sweet soft smile and wipes the last year that trickled down your cheek away. “I’ll be here to listen for as long as you need. No matter what the situation is, how bad your thoughts are please talk to me alright?” By the time he finished talking your arms were bandaged up and your thighs were cleaned and covered up. You couldn’t have been more grateful for this sweet soul. Suddenly you feel him pick you up bridal style and carry you to his dorm room and into his bed. He cradles your body and gently strokes your hair. “Shhh now. I’m here let’s work through some things we can do to feel better okay? And when your ready we can talk about what’s been getting you down?” You nod in agreement and rest your head into his chest. His bed, his sheets all smelt like him and it made you blush. “N-now I’m not always good with words Y/n” he begins. You look up at him and suddenly his face was scattered with anxiety. “I’ve never been good at speeches either but… you are my best friend, you always brighten my day. You are so …so loved by many around you. You make me laugh, and you always stood by me when draco bullied me. You’ve impacted my life so much. I always look forward to seeing your smile every day, hearing what excites you! Ron and Harry can’t get enough of you either! They always are asking when you’ll join them to watch the games! Look- I just - I love you. And I never went to see you in pain like this ever. Your always helping me through the bad times so I want to help you through yours”. You are speechless and cry into his sweater and hold him close. “I love you too Neville , thank you so so much” is all you can say as more tears fall. Your crying slowly winds down after some time and the two of you just lay in his bed for some time in complete silence.

Until he gently brushed your hair away and looks at you. “Hey…I have an idea…” you raise a brow. You watch as he stretches an arm over to his side table and pulls out his wand. “Watch this”. He says and mumbles something so you don’t hear. Suddenly you notice the ceiling is enchanted rainy sky above that doesn’t touch you, beautiful sparkling stars twinkling in the air. You couldn’t believe your eyes he enchanted the ceiling with such a beautiful sight, your body Instantly relaxing. “You can thank McGonagall for teaching me that trick” he winks. “Now when you don’t feel safe and if I’m not around, you can come in here and watch the pretty sky. Anything you want to see.” He smiles proudly and you peck him on the cheek. “Thank you so so much. What will I do without you”. He sits up and looks into your beautiful eyes. “No. What would I do without you? Just because you did this to yourself doesn’t mean your worth any less. You are special oh so special. You are so wanted and loved, you and your body is so precious. I don’t want to lose my best friend. And also-“ he sits up and cups your hands into his. “Will you breathe with me? Like this in….one …two…three…” you follow him sitting upright and sucking in a deep breath feeling a little awkward at first. “And out …two…three..four…” the two of you did some slow breathing for a few moments and you noticed that all the anxiety and all the overwhelming thoughts had gone for now. You felt more calm, happier, and safer. And it was all thanks to him.

“I feel so much better…thank you. I’m sorry…” you look down at your wrists. “Hey hey nooo none of that. Don’t apologise. Sometimes we feel down and that’s okay. And it’s hard to feel better, especially when we will alone in our head. But we are in this together. And when you feel sad or anxious or anything bad, I’m right here, we can breathe, we can cry, and we can channel that energy into something else okay?” He tucks your hair behind your ear and leans in closer. “Okay.” You agree. “Now let’s rest for a little longer as long as you need, and when your ready shall we go get some butter beers?”.
