You can tell i haven't posted a new fic in ages bc I completely bottled every aspect of posting this.

But i wrote a Sebchal fic based on that one tumblr post about the Queen who arrives for arranged marriage fully ready to kill her husband.

Thanks for the tag @kaylinalexanderbooks !

From my WIP Cry-Baby (Guinevere's pov)

Yeah…” he (Cry-Baby) replied softly, closing the passenger door. I nodded, turning and walking back into the building, wiping away the single tear that managed to slip down my face. God, I'm such a crybaby…

This scene sounds way safer than it is tbh. She works at her grandfather's animal shelter and she was saying goodbye to one of the cats Miles adopted for his niece. They were happy tears, but tears nonetheless.

From The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

He gripped tight, wordlessly returning the gesture.

I think overall this scene is better. I wasn't expecting to add so much to it, but I did. And I think this is a nice ending to it?

Winterhawk Round Robin

The moment we’ve all been waiting for!

The results are in!

So, we will ALL be writing the same prompt, and that prompt is: Accidental Telepathy.

That’s it, that’s the prompt. Each group will have to decide for themselves what that means.

As a reminder, here are the guidelines for this round robin:

1. All groups have the same prompt. There are 4 writers per group, 1-2 beta readers, and 1 artist.

2. There will be 3 “rounds.” A round consists of each writer in the group adding their contribution to a shared group document. Then the next round will begin.

3. Each contribution should be between 500-750 words. No more, no less. This will be a challenge for some of us, especially ME, but this is about building a story as a group.

4. The schedule:

--Round 1: January 22, 2019- January 27, 2019

--Round 2: January 29, 2019- February 3, 2019

---Round 3: February 5, 2019- February 10, 2019

---Beta-Reading and Arting: February 12, 2019- February 17, 2019

---Posting Date: February 19, 2019

(notice there are days worked in there as ‘off days’ in case we fall behind)

5. If your group finishes a round early, feel free to start the next round.

6. How and where to write the thing?

---a few options: 

        --shared google doc (this will mean sharing your emails)

        -- side-blog with all members having access and posts made private

        --that’s all I’ve got. If anyone has other ideas, please feel free to share

7. Have any questions or concerns? Message me!

8. Keep it vanilla, rated T with no explicit non-con, underage, extreme violence or character death UNLESS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED ON BY YOUR GROUP. I asked people to message me if they wanted to be in an Explicit rated group, and since no one did, I’m assuming we are all happy with this content level.

9. So who is in my group? So glad you asked. Below are the groups. I tried to organize them so that there were experienced writers with less experienced writers in each group, but it was also a lot of guesswork. If I put you in a group with your blood feud immortal enemy, I am so very sorry.

Group 1:

Hi everybody, I’m looking forward to working with you for the Round Robin.  How do we want to stay in contact and write this story? I would prefer GoogleDocs but I’m open to other ideas.  Let me know!

[thatscrazyrandom]

I wrote this in one night, 6 whole months ago and was way too anxious to post it.

It's been in my ao3 drafts for like a month and tonight I'm tired enough to say fuck it

[thatscrazyrandom]

Real sentence I just wrote.

[thatscrazyrandom]

Im a complete sucker for one paragraph or chapter ending in something positive only for the first line of the next paragraph or chapter to immediately and directly contradict it.

Like "It was going to be fine. / It was absolutely not going to be fine." "I can do this / I cannot do this"

Might be stupid but it gets me every time.

[thatscrazyrandom]

Writer opinions on chapter kudos comments??

[thatscrazyrandom]

I hate and love coming up with ideas

[thatscrazyrandom]

I'm still thinking about this actually because do you know how much brainrot I have about my current dnd campaign? Over 20,000 words of it. That's insane. I know it's insane. And the rest of my party are normal. They can be normal about the characters, and the story and the everything that I can't be normal about. They don't want to hear me talk about this shit all the time.

If we had a dnd podcast I could write metas and shippy things and incorrect quotes and speculations and all that shit without having to constantly annoy my party with it.

The real reason to start a dnd podcast is so you can talk about your characters and someone other than your party will actually know who you're talking about.

[thatscrazyrandom]

..so um.

What if Dumbledore didn't have the Potters' invisibility cloak the night they died?

They knew they were in danger

And if that cloak had been passed down through James' family they had to have known it was special.

I think if they'd had the cloak, it would've been kept in Harry's room, specificially because they knew that Harry would be the target.

So imagine this..

It's Halloween Night 1981. It's a Wednesday.

Barely a week ago, the house of James and Lily Potter had been put under the Fidelius Charm. Their secret keeper was Peter Pettigrew- a last minute change that would lead to the attack.

It's still early in the evening.

Lily watches from the couch as James crawls around on the floor trying to make their son, little Harry Potter laugh.

They hear a loud bang as You-Know-Who opens the gate to their property.

They don't know it's him yet.

Peter is supposed to be in hiding.

Voldemort makes his way up the path at a leisurely pace. He has the upper hand. There is no way he will lose tonight.

James leaves his son to go check who it is, not knowing this is the last time he will ever see him or his wife.

Voldemort opens the door, and James' face drops.

Despite leaving his wand in the living room, James knows in that split second what he has to do.

"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off!" James yells.

He tries. He does. He is a skilled and talented wizard..

But without his wand, facing a powerful dark wizard like Voldemort.. James could only hope to buy Lily a few seconds.

He is struck down by a killing curse, the unforgivable falling from Voldemort lips as easy as breathing.

In the living room, Lily scoops up Harry the second she hears James yelling.

She knows she can't escape by running. Even if she could, she wouldn't want to put the rest of the neighbourhood at risk.

Instead of running out the back door and into the garden, she instead runs up the stairs.

There is one way she might be able to save her son.

On her way she hears Voldemort utter the killing curse.

She doesn't have time to grieve.

She makes her way to Harry's room.

Baracading the door to give her a few more precious seconds, she grabs the invisibility cloak from where it is stored in Harry's room.

Later, she is glad she trusted James' instincts and kept it there, instead of moving it to somewhere harder for Harry to find.

A few panicked minutes looking for Harry the one time he managed to pull it down on top of him seems more than worth it now she knows how useful it was that fateful night.

She pulls it over them, and with the last few seconds as she hears Voldemort in the hall outside the door, flings open the window as a diversion.

It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

As Voldemort bursts into the room, Lily cradles Harry in her arms, begging the 15 month old to just stay quiet as they cower under the window.

"I know you're in here Ms. Lily Potter. Give me the boy and you'll live."

Voldemort's voice chills Lily to her core. She doesn't respond.

She silently prays to every god and powerful wizard she's ever known that Harry will just stay quiet.

"An invisibility cloak was a clever idea. But not clever enough!"

Lily flinches as Voldemort begins firing summoning charms around the room.

One is fired right at them, and she thinks 'This is it.'

It glances right off.

Dumbledore had mentioned he had a feeling that James' cloak was special.

Lily knows Voldemort won't give up. She's heard the Prophercy, and she knows he will stop at nothing to kill her son.

She is utterly trapped, cowering under a window, invisible to the eye, but holding a time bomb that could give away their position at any time.

"You don't have to die Lily Potter. Give me the boy."

Harry starts to fuss. He's upset at his game ending so quickly, and this new game is nowhere near as fun.

Lily tries to shush him without making a sound. Any sound could be fatal.

The house is silent except for Voldemort's footsteps as he paces the room.

Lily knows she has to get out of this room.

It's hard to trust that the invisibility cloak keeps them invisible as she creeps as slow as she possibly can towards the door.

She only moves when Voldemort isn't looking her way, just in case.

She thanks her lucky stars that James prefers to keep Harry's toys downstairs n the living room.

As Lily creeps silently and invisibly around the edge of her son's bedroom, clutching him to her chest tightly, Sirius Black enters Pettigrew's hiding place.

When he finds Pettigrew missing and no signs of a struggle, he knows it can only mean one thing.

Lily is nearly at the door.

She knows she won't be out of the woods until she can apparate somewhere safe, but she's inching closer to freedom.

It's not that easy.

As she hears the quiet rumbling of a motorcycle through their small village, she's distracted for a split second.

She bumps into the door.

It creaks.

Everything happens at once they both realise what has happened.

Lily knows she has given away her position, so gives up on being silent, and runs the last few steps to get behind the wall and out of Voldemort's immediate firing range.

Voldemort whirls around and fires a bright green killing curse right at her.

Swearing she felt it hit them, but not having the time to question it, Lily bolts towards the window at the end of the hall.

Harry starts to cry.

No one knows why until later, when Lily tells them about James' sacrifice, but the house explodes.

Lily uses magic she hasn't used since before she knew she was a witch as she dives at the window, holding her son in her arms.

They float to the ground as the house collapses behind them.

Sirius Black arrives on his motorcycle.

Neither of them know Voldemort is gone, for now.

Lily immediately jumps on the back.

"Go Sirius! Drive!"

Sirius drives.

Harry cries, wedged tightly between his mother and his godfather.

He has no idea his dad won't be coming back to play with him, but he knows there were loud noises, and his mommy is scared.

Lily clings to Sirius, clings to the invisibility cloak that saved her and her son's life, clings to her son.

Sirius takes them to Hogwarts.

He can't think of anywhere safer.

James and Lily's home was supposed to be safer.

Dumbledore lets them stay.

In the days that follow, the wizarding world celebrates that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is finally defeated.

Lily makes sure her husband's sacrifice doesn't go unrecognised as instrumental in his death.

Dumbledore doesn't tell her he thinks it's only a temporary thing. That even now he suspects he will someday return and try to kill her son again.

It isn't until days later, when Harry is in bed, that Lily truly gets a chance to grieve for her lost love.

The man she loved, still loves, who sacrificed himself to buy her the precious seconds she needs to get to the cloak.

Harry grows up without a father, but he has his mother, and his Uncle Padfoot, and his Uncle Moony.

He has Hagrid, who was the first to offer Lily a hot drink and a warm drink when she arrived at Hogwarts, and, along with Sirius, didn't leave her side while she was questioned by various aurors.

He has McGonagal, who Lily relied heavily on when Harry was a child, because she may not have kids of her own, but she has been teaching for over 20 years, and is always ready with a strong drink when Lily needs one.

He grows up with Ron and all his siblings.

Molly Weasley knows the poor girl is grieving, and having to take care of a baby on her own. She knows it must be hard, so despite already having 7 children, including a newborn baby, she sends a care package, and offer to babysit whenever Lily needs a few hours.

Lily makes sure Harry knows his father was a hero.

She makes sure he knows that he is loved, and is never alone.

She raises him on her own, with help from her friends, and he has a happy childhood.

He has no scar, but wizarding children still know who he is.

Wizarding adults look at him in pity and whisper, but he keeps his head high.

When he is old enough to understand, Lily gives him the invisibility cloak, and tells him the story of how it saved them, and how it used to belong to his father, and his grandfather before that.

He almost never leaves home without it.

Harry grows up and looks nearly identical to his father.

It stings Lily's heart occasionally, when she looks at him and sees James' smile looking back at her.

Voldemort does return.

Harry does have to face him.

But he has his mother behind him.

And the protection of his father.

And an invisibility cloak that is more useful than one could possibly imagine.

So this spiralled completely out of my control. I have no idea where I was originally going with this and I hurt myself so now you guys can hurt too lmao.
