Hi, i was wondering if you had any fic recs with like the younger generation? Harry and Ginny's kids, Teddy, etc? I stink at just blindly going on Ao3 and trying to find something but usually if I get a fic rec i'm able to use it and its tags to find others.

Something mostly just fun? (Harry as a teacher would be a nice bonus but idk how much that might limit?)

Just one is fine.

No pressure if you dont want to i just noticed you sharing art for that time period and fingured i'd ask.

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Hi! I love the next gen Potter/Weasley family and have written several stories about these wild youths that can be found here: Next Gen Arc

But here are a few other next gen stories I love!

Alohaemora has a collection of next gen stories that are great! I especially loved their 13 days of Christmas story with all the different couples.

Birth Certificate - this is wip but it’s sooo good and I love Rose/Scorpius so much and fine this Rose so funny and refreshing compared to a Hermione clone

Startwearingpurple - she has some of the best Rose Weasley fics out there! They are so funny and also interesting, the situations this girl gets into is mind boggling and the whole universe is so fun. She also has stories about Molly, Lucy, and Roxanne, and she has made Teddy and Victoire into a pair of loving parents to their hoard of children

A dusting of flour smudged on her cheek - I just reread this one yesterday, I love Harry and Lily-Lulu’s dynamic. I feel like this really gets the sweet father/daughter bond down well

Rainbow - while I didn’t like all the headcanons thrown in, I did like the overall story told and the writing was top notch

FloreatCastellum - has some great next gen stories, though I believe they have retired from writing fanfiction

Chicks Before Broomsticks - is a Roxanne lesbian story! With lots of Quidditch and pining between team members, featuring a Deamus daughter

The Beach House by @liiilyevans - it’s also a Roxanne story of her growing up and falling in love while spending time at a beach house with the Wood and Jordan families! It’s very cute and a wip but I know the next chapter is coming soon

Mushroom Portrait No.4: Start Wearing Purple. . Like Mushrooms, we age and we change. We might develop a new style and be a little more accepting of our own quirks. And more importantly, as we grow, we tend to give less of a flying fig what other people think. So start wearing purple...if that’s what you want. You’re your own masterpiece. . . . A family of tiny Wood Blewits, notice how the older one has turned purple compared to its siblings? It’ll remain purple for a while but then may change back to brown again on the cap later on. It’ll always be purple underneath however. . . . #woodblewit #mushroomportrait #mushrooms #mushroomsofinstagram #fungiphotography #tinymushroom #purplemushroom #bewhoyouwanttobe #startwearingpurple #gogolbordello (at Harrowby, Lincolnshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGrYntHBM84/?igshid=7bhlk3w4aky5

GOGOL BORDELLO

One of the GREATEST bands I have ever had the honor of seeing perform live: GOGOL BORDELLO! This is only ONE of so many incredible tunes from this internationally-unique band (formerly Gypsy-Punk, now more like World Music, having transcended their own genre). This was the very first song I ever heard by them so here it is for anyone else who has yet to discover this amazing band.

TOTALLY AWESOME!

Have been so busy in the garden, it’s soooo distracting. All the tomato, cucumber and pepper plants are now in their final place and the lavender and rosemary seedlings have been transplanted into pots. There’s a heap of watering required but thankfully the rainwater butts haven’t run out yet. So now I’m focused on listing. Here’s my latest herbarium pendant featuring treasures from my cottage garden: cornflower, heather, fern, fuchsia anther and moss.

[constitutionalweasleymonarchy]

hi!! so glad i found your tumblr, i read your fics and loved them! especially "one of arthurs boys' im obsessed :) For some reason I really loved the scene with charlie and the girl!! just a question: do you know any writers like you? Im basically searching for more weasley family and especially percy stuff haha

Hi! I’m sorry it took me a while to reply -- it’s been a busy week. Thank you so much for your comments. I’m really happy to know you’ve been enjoying Must Be One of Arthur’s Boys -- it’s become very dear to me.

So, Weasley fic recs! Here are several, and if I know myself I know I’m inadvertently leaving out a lot of wonderful writers and fics, but I’ll do my best to recollect my favorites. (Percy recs at the end because I have a few specific ones.)

MOLLY/ARTHUR and NEXT GEN:

First of all, one of my OG inspirations and fave writers is the author startwearingpurple+ on AO3 (but she went by momotwins and WeasleyTwinMom on the old HPFF site). Many years ago she wrote a novel called The Unsinkable Molly Prewett+, which blossomed into a whole Molly/Arthur series+ that includes not only Molly/Arthur fics but also some wonderful stories fleshing out her OC’s from Unsinkable. Molly/Arthur is a woefully underdone ship, but to be honest it’s hard to compete with hers! I have basically accepted her Molly and Arthur as canon, and it made my own Arthur-centric fic that much more challenging because I had to make sure I wasn’t just co-opting her headcanons. Unsinkable is fabulously fluffy, and its sequel and other associated works are a bit more mature but also delightfully romantic. I swoon so hard for her Arthur, I love the depiction of 1960′s Hogwarts and magical Britain, and her OC’s are beautifully characterized as well.

Startwearingpurple also writes a bunch of next gen Weasleys as part of her Rose Weasley: Bounty Hunter series+, and I recommend those, as well! (Dad!Percy makes a few appearances in her Molly- and Lucy-centric fics.)

AND, bonus, since you like Arthur’s Boys, she has written a missing moment/ companion one-shot to my Ginny-centric chapter in that fic -- her one-shot is titled Permission+ and it’s lovely!

ALL WEASLEYS, including PERCY and RON:

I would be remiss if this list didn’t include FloreatCastellum @floreatcastellumposts, who has authored an impressive number of canon-compliant fics, many of which are Weasley-centric -- especially their Slice of Life One-Shots+, which concern the lives of canon characters, post-canon and into the next generation. But they also have a Missing Moments series+ set during canon events, and they really nail the characterization of (as far as I can tell) everybody. I haven’t read all of them, but I particularly enjoyed a couple of Ron-centric one-shots, Envy and I Have Seen Your Heart. They’ve got a couple of Percy-centric fics, as well. Their writing retains the style and charm of the source texts.

MOAR RONNIEKINS!

Cambangst+ is an exceptional writer, and his stuff isn’t necessarily Weasley-centric, but what I do want to comment on is his fantastic treatment of Ron. Specifically, I have been following his most recent novel After Destiny+, which is only published at HPFanficTalk. It’s about all the main characters -- most specifically the trio + Ginny -- moving forward in the immediate aftermath of Deathly Hallows. Let’s be real, canon Ron can be difficult to write, and so many people make him into a caricature of himself (even if they mean to portray him positively), but cambangst is not only fair to Ron by respecting his character and acknowledging his strengths -- he also recognizes and depicts Ron’s flaws and weaknesses, but not in an overblown way. He retains that sympathetic and relatable quality that always endeared Ron to me. Cambangst also writes a fantastic Bill.

WEASLEY TWINS:

1917farmgirl+ is a lover of the Weasley twins, and I’d recommend taking a look at any of her stuff, but especially The Ungrateful Dead+ and Passports Required+, which are wonderfully clever and original and will leave you with the best kind of Fred-related heartache.

PERCY (my love, my life, perfectly imperfect in every way):

As for Percy, I’ve come across a few specific works that I really love. Right now off the top of my head I can’t think of many other writers who have a large body of Percy-centric work, but I can definitely get you started with a few specific fic recs (I also must admit to you that I don’t read nearly as much fic as I would like, especially when I’m on a roll with writing, so I myself am always down to receive Percy fic recs!):

Percy Take the Wheel+ by KittySmith @corwynnasmith -- I hate to say that I am not nearly as far into reading this as I would like to be, but the chapters I have read, I’ve loved. It’s a sad premise, but a wonderful portrait of the Weasley kids and their dynamics, featuring a three-dimensional Percy solidly based in his canon characterization. The love and respect the author has for Percy really come through in this.

Scorose+ has written a few Percy/Audrey fics, and I especially adored An Old English Tradition+, which features a lovably dorky Percy stuck under some mistletoe.

Reflector+ by Calebski -- Okay, I’m a Ron/Hermione shipper deep in my soul, and this is a Percy/Hermione, but damned if it isn’t a gorgeous romance (more gentle, quiet romances, please!) and a thoughtful, compelling characterization of Percy in love and finding his way in life.

Sinnersandsapphics has a series featuring (among other characters) bi and poly Percy, called the Polyverse+ on AO3, except over at HPFanficTalk she has posted additional Percy-centric fics and renamed it Percycule+. Her fics are thoughtful and funny, and her Percy is delightful and shipped with both Oliver and Audrey. He features in What Landon and Peters Missed, Odd Weasley Out (on hiatus but hopefully she’ll update soon!), and The Healing of Alicia Spinnet.

I’ll reblog and add more recs if any others come to me! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to shout about wonderful writers and spread the Weasley love. <3
