#theres dead gay wizards

[cazzythefrogking]

i think remus would forgive sirius pretty soon after the prank. He'd want to leave so bad but... he just needed them. Sirius was the one that was always there. Sirius was the one that made him happiest. And he told himself, it was just a mistake. Sirius made a mistake, and everyone does sometimes, right? So he forgave them. He hated them, but he forgave them. The hurt would go away eventually, right? So he let himself love sirius again.

And months went by, and he was still hurting. But the wound was still fresh, right? He needed to give it time. A few more months. Or a few more years.

But he still hurt and hurt and hurt. He couldnt stop hurting. He couldn't forget. But he stayed. Because Sirius stayed with him, even if remus hurt him. He had to return the favor, right?

And they stayed together. And they planned a future together. But remus didnt know if he even wanted it. But Sirius was trying to be better, to be less hurtful, to be less reckless. He was trying. It was just a mistake, right? He's sorry, right?

And after all, who else could want him? No one had before. Sirius was his only chance at a happy ending. He was his only hope

And so he stayed

It was too late to leave

And he didnt want to be alone

i’m genuinely not sure if it’s more painful to imagine that Mary obviated herself or to imagine that she didn’t.

Because if she did, that means that she knew that her loyalty would never allow her to leave she knew that she would never be able to get away from her guilt, but she also knew she wouldn’t survive the war so that means she chose to erase this MASSIVE part of her identity to be able to move on and escape the grief and get out alive. but at what cost?

But if she didn’t?!? that might be worse. that means, she never escaped the grief. It means she has to live either knowing that all of her friends died and she wasn’t there or not knowing what happened at all.

Mary is such a fascinating character study because as the fandom perceives her (i say this cause we have no canon) she’s the only one who survived, and she still didn’t make it out unscathed. like no matter which way you slice it this poor girl was fucking traumatized, and she either literally removed a part of herself to get away or lives with the pain and survivors guilt, and that’s such an interesting way to view grief and pain. it begs the question is it better to have the memories that made you who you are even if they’re painful or is it better to forget? to cut your losses and move on?

mary macdonald they could never make me hate you

Prompt 19 - Thunder

@jegulus-microfic October 19, Word count 116

A storm was coming. James could feel it. His shoulder always ached right before a storm hit. He’d fallen off his broom during a bad tackle during a Quidditch match and even though Madam Pomfrey had done a wonderful job of healing him, the shoulder still ached. He rotated it absentmindedly.

“Shoulder giving you jip, darling?” Regulus asked, coming up behind him and gently massaging the sore area. James moaned as Regulus’s clever fingers found the spot straight away. 

“Yeah, storms coming.” He sighed, melting into Regulus’s touch. 

“I’ll get the hot chocolate then,” Regulus said, leaning up and kissing James’s neck.

Regulus got them steaming mugs of James’s favourite hot chocolate while James went to set up the pull-out bed in the conservatory. 

They snuggled up together under thick, cosy blankets and listened to the thunder breaking the silence of the night while they waited for the lighting to come over as they stared up at the swirling clouds through the glass ceiling above them.

I usually wouldn't make a post like this, but I'll preface this by saying I'm happy for Zar, that he's decided to repost his works and that he feels comfortable in doing so. He is an amazing writer, and this fandom does not deserve the stuff he has done for it.

What I don't want to be seeing is people saying shit along the lines of "I have to download all the works now in case they get deleted again!" It's just downright disrespectful, the works are made by a person. Remember that, with any fanfic in general, Zar is a person. He made those works for free, and it's all within his right to take them away again. You are not entitled to being able to see these works and Zar does not owe you anything.

Zar deleted his stuff for a reason, just because they are back up doesn't mean you get to ignore that it happened, learn a lesson from this. The initial reactions I saw to him deleting the works were downright disgusting, you are consuming these works for free, you aren't allowed to complain.

If I hear anyone who follows me or who I am following making disrespectful comments about this entire situation I won't hesitate to block or unfollow, please think before you post something. There are people behind the text on your screen. This is basic human decency. Cyber harassment is real, and it is damaging.

We don't deserve the writers in this fandom if all we will do is treat them like machines. Learn from this.

I finally finished my four-volume ATYD layout!

The body text is larger than any formatted version I have found before, which is why it's four volumes instead of three. (The images I added to this post are just thumbnail previews, not meant to illustrate the relative size of the text.) I designed covers, front matter, chapter accents, and gave each character their own handwriting style for their letters!

I put a huge amount of work into this (for myself!) and I'm excited to share with anyone who is interested. The fanart and fonts I used are all credited (fanart in the front matter, fonts in the back) in case anyone wants to look them up.

These PDFs were specifically designed for printing as perfect-bound paperbacks, which is why the margins are larger on the sides toward the spine. There are all sorts of print-on-demand book sites out there that you can use to order your own copies. If you're handy with InDesign I can send you the .indd files if you'd like to modify them.

If anyone is super interested in having these in EPUB format (for e-readers), I can also share those versions, but they won't have the custom fonts because EPUB formats don't play well with those.

These are hosted on my Google Drive and I have no immediate plans to delete them, but I do recommend downloading them if you think you'll want them in the future, in case I need to delete them down the road.

Here are the files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t1ZKdmkDDDUAYqY3Lp6EUilchX5UErlQ?usp=sharing

[toastby-4s]

my beige flag is that i'll happily admit to being a reader- but whenever people ask what i'm reading, i've gotta think real fast to avoid admitting that it's literally all just fanfics...

[starchaserdreams]

In case anyone thought I was kidding about printing out AO3 comments and sticking them on my fridge, I WAS NOT.

[lady-stardust-incarnate]

okokok hear me out I've just seen a tiktok pushing remus lupin as James Acaster on taskmaster, therefore I'm thinking what if someone wrote the marauders in taskmaster, maybe with regulus as the taskmaster??

but also who would be little Alex horne (the guy that just gets bullies for the whole show and is also very gay with the taskmaster) because me personally I'm thinking james or have evan as the taskmaster and barty as Alex horne

someone please write this I'm begging I would literally pay for it or if anyone knows a fic please send it to me

[gaybeanman]

Prompt 29 - Tie

@jegulus-microfic May 29, Word count 646

Previous part First part

Regulus moved his things to the Gryffindor sixth years dorm room. James was ecstatic. He cleared a space in the wardrobe for Regulus to use and gave him some space to settle in. 

He took the others down to the common room. Regulus had apparently left his chest and enough things in his Slytherin dorm that it looked like he was still living there. 

Sirius plonked himself in Remus’s lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. He whispered something that made Remus blush redder than James had ever seen him. Whatever Sirius had just said to him James had no doubt he didn’t want to know. 

Since the rest of the house had been so welcoming to Regulus, Sirius and Remus had slowly been making their relationship known. They’d gone from simple hand holding to full on making out in an armchair and the Gryffindors had just gotten on with it. James wished they’d been just a tiny bit bothered, so Sirius wasn’t so bold with his personal displays of affection. Not that James was a prude or anything, Sirius was just obscene and Remus didn't stop him.

Regulus came back down once he was finished unpacking and promptly sat on James’s lap, mirroring his brother. 

“All done, love?” James asked as he wrapped his arm around Regulus’s waist. 

“Yup,” Regulus looked over at his brother and Remus. “Yuck, no one needs to see that.” He pulled his wand out of his robes and flicked it towards the embracing pair. A cascade of freezing water rained down on them. Laughter erupted around the room. 

“Thanks Regulus,”

“Nice one mini Black,”

A few of the older Gryffindors cheered him on. Sirius jumped up from Remus’s lap and launched himself on Regulus and James, shaking his head like a dog and soaking them as well. The laughter got louder. 

“Hey, Prongs, did you give him his moving in present?” Sirius asked as he wrung his robes out onto the floor. 

“Oh yeah, nearly forgot. Thanks for reminding me, Padfoot.” James picked up the flat box from the table beside him and handed it to Regulus. 

They all watched as he pulled the gold ribbon off the red box and lifted the lid. Nestled inside on black tissue paper was a Gryffindor Tie. 

“Welcome to the family, Reggie,” Sirius beamed at him. James felt his heart bursting with love as Regulus wrapped the red and gold tie around his neck and let Remus perform a drying charm on him. 

They spent the rest of the day just hanging out. Peter challenged Regulus to a game of chess. Sirius caught James’s eye and tried to hide a snort as Peter set up the board. James wasn’t sure what was wrong with Sirius, but he watched with interest when Regulus accepted the challenge. 

It wasn’t even close. Regulus wiped the floor with Peter in six moves. 

“Wow that’s impressive.” Remus said when Peter was gaping open mouthed at his fallen King. 

“That’s nothing,” Sirius snickered, “Reggie was going easy on him. I’ve seen him win in two moves.”

“What, that’s impossible.” Remus shook his head in disbelief. 

“Don’t underestimate Regulus, Moony,” James grinned at the back of his boyfriend's head as he started setting up the chess board again. 

When Peter finally admitted defeat, darkness had descended. Sirius and Remus had snuck off some hours ago to get food from the kitchens and returned grinning like idiots at each other and being very touchy-feely. James rolled his eyes. They must have made a detour to the come and go room. 

They’d just started on the mini treacle tarts when the first peal of thunder grumbled in the distance. All five heads snapped up and looked out the window as the sky was lit up by a bolt of lightning, followed again by another loud rumble of thunder. 

It was time.
