“teeth/tooth” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 416 words

 

Harry walks into the living room where James and Regulus are sitting on the couch.

“DAAAAD! PAAAA!” Harry screams.

“We’re right here, Haz.” James says, rubbing his ear.

“The volume, he gets from you.” Regulus whispers so only James can hear, and James rolls his eyes.

“What’s going on?” James asks and reaches his arms out for Harry to come closer. Harry walks over and stands in front of them. “What’s wrong, bud?”

“This!” Harry says firmly and grins so wide it can’t even be considered a grin anymore and aggressively points to his teeth. James and Regulus share a look.

“Your teeth?” Regulus asks confused.

“Yes! This one!” He opens his mouth and points to one tooth. “It’s all wiggly.”

“Oh! You have a loose tooth!” James says excitedly. 

“Yes! And Ron said it’s going to fall out, but I think he’s nutters. That couldn’t happen.”

“Well, Haz, he’s right.” Regulus tells him cautiously.

“WHAT?!” Harry is screaming again.

“Harry, it’s okay. It’s normal for your teeth to fall out–” Regulus starts to explain.

“My teeth are going to fall out of my mouth! Parts of my head are going to fall off, and you think that’s normal?!” Harry interrupts.

“And the dramatics, he gets from you.” James whispers and Regulus and Harry look at him with identical glares. Regulus turns back to Harry and pulls him onto the couch.

“Yes, you’re going to lose your teeth, but it’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Your baby teeth need to fall out to make room for your new teeth.” Regulus softly tries to explain again. 

“I’m not a baby.” Harry pouts.

“Exactly.” James tells him. “Those little guys have to go away so you can get bigger, grown-up teeth. Like these.” James gives him a wide smile.

Harry narrows his eyes and skeptically looks back and forth between Regulus and James.

“It’s really okay?” Harry asks in a smaller voice.

“We promise.” Regulus assures him.

“Fine. I guess it’s okay then.” Harry sighs. “Can I go play upstairs?” He asks.

“Of course, bud.” James tells him. Regulus and James both give Harry a kiss and he gets up to leave the room.

“I wonder when I’m going to lose my baby fingers.” They hear Harry whisper, looking at his hands as he’s walking up the stairs.

“I don’t think we explained that very well.” James’ eyes go a bit wide.

“Wait, Harry, hold on a second!” Regulus call after him and they both get up to follow Harry.

That’s Where You’ll Find Me

Chapter 4: The Good Witch

Fandom: Teen Wolf / The Wizard of Oz AU

Characters: Stiles + Lydia, Prada, Melissa McCall

She came close to Dorothy and kissed her gently on the forehead. Where her lips touched the girl left a round, shining mark, as Dorothy found out soon after. - L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“Okay, I think I just blacked out,” Lydia says, pressing her fingertips to her temples. “Can you repeat that?”

“This is the real Oz,” the woman who is but isn’t Melissa replies.

“How can that be?”

“All good stories begin with a few morsels of truth, don’t they? This place was the inspiration for Mr. Baum’s book.”

Lydia laughs. A frustrated, broken laugh.

This is not happening. She can’t be in Oz. It’s one thing to consider the possibility that she may have been transported to a different part of the state or the country, even another continent. But being transported to another universe? One which also happens to be the primary setting for a famous children’s book? That’s... Insane.  

On the other hand, if she has to play along with this charade in order to get home to Stiles, she will.

“Fine. If Oz is real, then I can get home the same way Dorothy did. All I have to do is—”

“Lydia, I’m sorry, but it’s not that simple.”

“Of course not,” she mutters. She can feel her composure slipping as she quivers through an exasperated exhale—but if there’s one thing she has learned from all the madness in her life, it’s that losing control won’t get her anywhere.

She takes another breath. “Why don’t you explain it to me then?”

“It’s more than not simple. It’s actually rather complicated.”

Lydia crosses her arms, irked by the insinuation that she isn’t intelligent or worldly enough to understand. “I have an IQ of one hundred and seventy, and I come from a town that is literally a beacon for supernatural activity. Try me.”

Parenting 101 BC

CHAPTER FIVE: Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share.

Millenia ago, Skrael and Bellroc were the only members of the Arcane Order. It's only by accident that they gain a third -- a feral child raised by wolves who carried the name Nari. Wholly unsuited for parenting, the two primordial wizards try to figure out how to raise and educate the newest demigod in the pantheon.

Chapter Summary: The aftermath of the night before. Again, this fic was supposed to be a comedy. I have no clue how it turned out like this. Content warning for child death.

WIP Wednesday

The last one I did may have been in September. 👀 Been a long time. Haven’t really been writing much fanfic. Stuck on different papers for school. I was tagged by @evolnoomym and she shared ideas so I will too! ❤️ @pr3ttynpiink also tagged me and looks to be cooking up some fun new fics. 🥰

I want to write something for Modern Din and Christmas to go in my series: This is the Neighborhood Din, but it will likely need a chapter between that to make sense. (Every so often I care about making sense). Also more Luke doing Jedi yoga on his lawn and Poe & Finn being boyfriends because I want it all!

I need to write a new chapter of Weddings 101 with Dieter. Kinda left on a cliffhanger and a lot happened in my mind that should be posted 🤣

There’s a little over a month until the DMAMC 2025 challenge is due, haven’t written anything. Actually forgot about it, but fear not! I’ll think of something. 👀 My character is Pero Tovar (I doomed myself by picking him 😭 like the level of difficulty). But maybe I’ll revisit a pairing I’ve done.

Random but working on a Baldur’s Gate 3 fic and bugging @perotovar (Erin beta read for me what I have so far), @megamindsecretlair reads the snippets I send her and @soft-persephone looks at the pics I send her and is honest 🤣🤣🤣). Everyone’s favorite moody (for many a legit reason) and murderous pale elf who’s a vampire Astarion and an OFC. Things that happened between these two: a lot of staring, mocking Gale (everyone’s favorite past time- he makes it easy but also the wizard is really nice insane like everyone else but nice), drying some hair, hugs and some tears. Lots of angst, fluff and comfort. Haven’t decided on smut yet, is likely but I’ll see how it reads.

Didn’t realize that A Safe Place for Us was up to chapter 7 on AO3 and only 5 on Tumblr 👀 My bad. I should be able to post one chapter on here before November ends. The formatting and graphics take me the longest. 🤓

I also have a secret Santa fic things I’m supposed to be working on for a discord group but I also have not started. 👀 Unsure of which direction it should go in. I’ll figure it out, eventually I think.

The first paragraph of chapter five of “A Safe Place for Us”:

Waking up to Dieter takes getting used to for Aisha. It’s not unwelcome, she’s just not used to someone clinging to her like he does. Every morning he stays at her apartment is one where he has his arm and head somewhere on her. Chest, stomach, thigh, back, ass one time because he enjoys scissoring her entrance wider and scooping his spend that drips out of her back in before pumping his fingers to stir his cum within her.

Yeah…chapter five is…a ride so to speak. 👀 Forgot we had a strong start.

I found a WIP that contains Marcus Pike angst:

His romantic relationships and come and gone just like yours but you always had each other. Though, you treated yours as ways to work off the need you felt for your friend. To distract yourself, even when you were with your other partners, you’d think of him during the throws of passion, even when having simple meals and they may chew too loudly. You loathed your behavior toward your partners and your friend, biting your lips to not utter his name while under someone else.

“Marcus…”

Is the only name you want to say but can’t.

Hmm….might be a good holiday one or something. 🤔

That’s the ideas for now. Always a lot and never finished. ✅ Would it be Nerdie if they were? 😎

Have a happy Thanksgiving, holiday, days off of work and stay safe!

[dramioneasks]

Hi!

I am looking for a captivating Dramione fanfic where Draco swoops in to rescue Hermione from Bellatrix at the Manor, leading to some awkward yet delightfully cute situations in their 8th year. The more pining, fluff, slowburn, cute romantic tension, and humor, the merrier! Can't wait to dive into a story full of twists and turns, sweet moments, and maybe a dash of comedy. Share your top picks with me!

Thanks so much in advance 😊

All of the fics where he saves Hermione during the Manor scene are definitely not fluffy or cute. Those are war fics and are dark and angsty and they deal with psychological trauma.

I can recommend cute year 8 fics instead:

The Fever By: Flightglow32 - M, 13 chapters - After the war, the population is low all the signs say a Fever is coming, the Burning lasts until they find their match. Hermione’s concern about her match grows as she watches others around her succumb to the Fever. When one touch is all it takes and the Burning inside you wants it how much self control does it take to hold back and not give in to your most basic desires? Rated M

Sleeves - FluffThroughtheBluff - T, one-shot - In her drunken stupor, she mumbles, “What do you think you’re doing, Malfoy?” “I’m being a good friend,” he replied softly.

To All the Wizards I’ve Loved Before - takenbytheview - M, 7 chapters - “What if—” Malfoy begins, twisting his signet ring with the forefinger and thumb of his other hand. “What if you didn’t tell him?” “What?” “What if we let people think we were actually together? Just for a little while. Not just the Weasel. Everybody.” A Dramione Eighth Year adaptation of Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Broom Cupboard Etiquette 101 - Ada_P_Rix - E, 6 chapters - A pitch-black Broom Cupboard and a case of mistaken identity leaves poor Draco Malfoy reeling.

Innocent Monsters - itscometothis - T, 12 chapters - Draco Malfoy thought he had reasonable expectations for his mandatory Eighth Year at Hogwarts, where he would be confined to the grounds as part of his probation. Isolation, hatred, and passing his NEWTs were really all he had in mind. What he wasn’t anticipating: 1) Having a small firstie latch onto him like a bloody koala 2) Said firstie adopting an erkling as if they didn’t feed on children. To protect his little nuisance, he’ll have to seek help from uncomfortable places, including the Swottiest Witch of Her Age. Joy of all joys.

Sorry, Not Sorry by NicheNugget - M, 17 chapters - It was never a question whether Hermione would go back to Hogwarts for her 8th year. What she didn’t see coming was a certain blonde who keeps getting thrown into her path. When Hogwarts offers nothing more disturbing than a heavy course load, secret parties, and dramatic friends, Draco and Hermione just might find a way to get along. Or maybe even more.

Funny Shadowgast Recs

Girl, Interrupting by DefilerWyrm (1902, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb and Essek are in the middle of, ahem, *exchanging theories,* when Jester chooses the worst possible moment to send to Essek. Or the best, depending on your perspective.

Reccer says: Both sexy and funny in the best possible way.

LOVE & OTHER ENCHANTMENTS by LivThael (2092, General) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

A send up on romantic comedies, starring Caleb and Essek

Reccer says: Made for a bad fic event, it's a hilarious and very readable send up of romantic comedies, filled with lumberjacks, bookstores, romantic declarations, and much more.

Safe For Work by Operafloozy (1501, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb and Essek find a mysterious artifact in Aeor that has unexpected results.

Reccer says: Like if Patrick Bateman wrote porn' says it all. Written for a badfic event, this one takes corporate jargon to ridiculous extremes. You'll never sit through a corporate event the same way again.

AU in which Shadowhand Essek is so bad at cooking that he accidentally summons a demon: Caleb.

Kryn Dynasty Skincare 101 by soot_and_salt (3571, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek's vanity and intense multi-step skincare regimen turns into chaos when the Mighty Nein barge into his life.

Reccer says: It's funny but also heartwarming. It has tantalizing glimpses of how Essek and Caleb get together, told through different skin care items he gifts to the group. The middle part with the Nein and their hair is laugh out loud funny and the ending is such a sweet note.

Altered State of Mind by Defiler_Wyrm (6853, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: Graphic Depictions of Violence

A Scaled Splendor by royalgreen (656, General) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb has a mishap using True Polymorph. Veth is completely unsympathetic.

Reccer says: Caleb is trying to impress his boyfriend and messes up in the funniest of ways.

An Evening To Remember by Interrobang (1755, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: None

Essek tries to surprise Caleb by showing up wearing his cloak, mantle, and little else, and is horrified to realize that Caleb has arranged a surprise of his own.

Reccer says: Author nailed the balance between anticipation and secondhand embarrassment when the situation doesn't turn out as Essek planned.

3. Will and the only Solace is killing myself

A/N: Someone had to take one for the team and it sure as hell wasn't going to be Jason -Asnyox & Danny

“This will be easy,” Will muttered to himself while making his way into Camp Jupiter, “Jason is no longer a praetor, so outside of saying hi to Bob I will be free to do what I want.” 

And then he wasn’t. The moment he set foot in camp half a dozen demigods surrounded him and started spouting questions and demanding he handed over the winter planning. 

“The what?” Will stammers.

A girl rolls her eyes. “The winter planning, Jason. You know that list you give us for the things we have to set up?”

Will feels his soul leave his body. Jason never mentioned being in charge of literally everything about the winter activities, but now that he thinks about it, wasn’t Jason something like a pope here? Something something pontifex, right? Yeah. Meaning, Will was screwed.

The Le-Gou-Lash Bash

Will 

Jason, you visually impaired idiot, did you forget to mention you plan all of the winter crap they do around here?

Jason

Oh

Will

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘OH’ JASON I’M ABOUT TO BE CRUCIFIED HERE

Magnus

Imma silence this chat for today I don’t want my appointments to get distracted by the buzzing

Will 

Appointments????

Magnus???

Jason

No I got this I think I kept last year’s winter planning back at my place

Will

I’m there right now i don’t see shit

Jason

should be right next to the nativity script

like a musty leather-bound notebook??

Will

Found it. Your murder has been postponed until further notice

Jason

Not if I can find the floor to knit to the death 101! Man this place has a crazy amount of floors yet i always end up in Magnus’s floor, so weird

Will 

WHY is the nativity script full of racial slurs???

Jason I’m reading the script

what the fuck

Listen I never met this god but this doesn’t sound very joyful and pure

they’re calling the wise wizards a bunch of WHAT??

Jason

Yeah that’s hilarious you can ignore that and write over it

Like a fanfic

We had the grinch added last time, remember?

Will

HOW??

i’m actually trying to forget easter because i value my life thank you for asking

Jason

Well maybe it’ll be harder for you i can just tune that stuff out nowadays

Will

You mean you’ve heard people talk like that??

Jason what??

JasonOh Alex is calling me, gotta dodge.

Jason stops answering, and Will hopes to the gods that he can find something like a tree decorating to the death and just… skip straight to the dying, too bad he wasn’t currently in Jason’s place in Valhalla. At least Jason must be having a worse time trying to stay alive, right? 

Alas, Will sighs as he realizes he has to leave the house to get this party going. Perhaps he can find any of the Bobs that he has to say hello to and make them help him, or maybe Hazel is just hanging around somewhere with good tips. Either way someone must be aware of how Jason usually handles these things- or how the previous years have worked out. Jason didn’t do all of it on his own, right? 

As he makes his way, Will spots Percy hastily crossing the street and half of his brain derails wondering why his friend looks so frantic. However, as Will is having his own breakdown, he decides to focus and move along. 

Percy too was having a breakdown. Firstly he somehow lost the reindeer, then apparently Klaus has had trouble getting the presents ready- there was no snow and Jason had yet to start decorating camp Jupiter! This was the absolute worst- how can he save Christmas when no one is in the spirit for it?  

You see, ever since Halloween Percy had decided to take as much work as possible of Klaus and Hearthstone’s hands- as clearly they were malnourished and stressed because of the melting North Pole. However, luckily, Klaus didn’t ask for funds to cool down the Pole, instead, he had Percy help with some tasks at hand. 

So as Percy was running around with 10 different ideas on how to make sure Christmas would still continue, his top priority was figuring out where the FUCK Jason went and where the people of Camp Jupiter kept their Christmas spirit hidden, would it be at Jason’s place? 

Will meanwhile had found Bob, the one with the elephants, currently on top of an elephant. “Jason says hi.” Will started and Bob just squinted at him.

“Are you not Jason?” he asked, “Sorry, I can’t see very well from up here.” 

Will grumbled, before speaking up. “Do you know how Jason planned Christmas around here?” he simply asked. “No, Jason was very strict on doing it all himself.”

“Why?”

“Something about keeping up the good work, I think he just used it as a way to ignore his other duties.” Of course Jason would not have taken any help. Will closed his eyes in pain— but this would be okay, he can fix this, this is less busy than, for example, the infirmary after capture the flag.

All he had to do was make a list, hand it out and everything would be done for him. He might even put his heritage to good use and rewrite their nativity play into something less problematic. Maybe. But, before Will decided to run off again, he turns to Jason’s good friend Bob.

“Hey, do you know where I can find the other Bobs? Jason wanted me to say hi to all of them as a favour.”

“Other Bobs? There’s just me as far as I know.”  Bob sighed from the top of the elephant, “If you don’t find anyone else named Bob don’t tell him though. I think Jason might have gotten a little confused.”

“Oh,” Will shook his head, “Thanks I guess.” 

Before Will could get far he was once again ambushed, this time by Hazel and Frank. “You’re Jason’s stand in right?” Frank sounded desperate, “Do you have the winter plans? We really have to start building things soon.” Hazel nodded along with him. 

“I, uh-” Will blinked, “Stand in?” Hazel nodded once more.

“Sorry, Nico snitched, for the love of the gods tell me you have them! Otherwise we’ll make it your responsibility and therefore your punishment if things do not go right, Will.” 

“Punishment?” Will started sweating.

“Just mediocre Roman stuff, whipping, wooden shoes, fines-” Hazel winked at him, “No worries, you’ll get out alive!”

“So, you have the plans?” Frank asked one last time.

“I will have them in uh— just have to grab them! See you all in a bit!” Will cursed as he ran off. He needed to fix these plans, soon.

Will locked himself up in Jason’s place and as he took a look around he was sure it was messier than the last time he saw it. Had someone else ransacked the place? If there had been more stuff to actually ransack it might have been more noticeable. Will walked to the desk, only to find a blue post-it with a message on it.

Sorry about the mess! See ya, merry xmas-Percy“Okay?” But worry about it Will could not. As he donned a pen, paper and stress headache he started working on a list, a list to save Jason’s reputation as Winter Organizer.

Hours later blood sweat and tears stained Will’s mind. He had finally finished the first draft and figured that it would be enough. Will stood up from Jason’s desk, shaking. He walked to the door, opened it—he only had to find Hazel and Frank and—

“Jason! Good job at making those plans.” A random camper, wearing a Christmas hat patted him on the shoulder, “You don’t look so good man, you deserve some rest!” It had started snowing, and Will slowly stepped out. There were lights strung everywhere- far off he could see a gigantic Christmas tree. Faintly he could hear carols being sung, and the rehearsal of the horrible nativity play. But he never did this— he… he just spent hours doing work for nothing? How—

“Hey, Will!” Percy suddenly spoke up from beside him, “What were you doing in Jason’s office?” He was wearing an ugly sweater, carrying presents, and overall still seemed stressed but managing.

“I was, uh.” Will sighed, “Christmas or something I don’t know.”

“Oh! I found the Christmas plans a while ago actually. Sorry to keep you looking, but I was in a hurry to save Christmas! If you see Klaus back at camp tell him it’s all in control, when the reindeers are back. And if not, we have the war unicorns as backup. Now I got to go— see ya!” As Percy scurried off he let out a clear ‘Ho! Ho! Ho!’. 

Will just wanted to go home, back to camp. Back to his boyfriend. He didn’t even manage to change the nativity play to something good. He just changed his opinions about Camp Jupiter instead, this place fucking sucked. And as he ignored the texts coming in on his phone, sinking to his knees into the snow, he just hoped that Jason and Magnus were suffering as much as he was. The Le-Gou-Lash BashMagnusHey, Jason, just popping in to remind you to be careful! You’re not an einherjar, and if I’m getting Nico’s traumas right, you dying would permanently scar this kid. 

JasonI’ll try my best! I’m meeting Santa soon though MagnusWe have a Santa???

[xxgothchatonxx]

One of the main things I love about Wicked, and it's something the Wicked knockoffs fail to remember, is that while it is a "sympathetic villain retelling" (...I mean, the book arguably started that trend) it is still the Wizard of Oz. Elphaba and Dorothy don't become besties or a mother-daughter duo. I mean, that would have been nice (love those fanfics btw) but that's not the point. It's got a lot more tragedy but it's still the Wizard of Oz. Elphie is still technically the villain in Dorothy's story.

What I'm getting at is, it's not Maleficent. Or Cruella- look I'll still defend Cruella for at least being an original story that had little to nothing to do with the main 101 Dalmatians plot! It was the Harley Quinn film we should've gotten. But Maleficent just pisses me off the more I think about it.

2023: Fanfic (And Original Fic), She Wrote

Looking back over the year, I've written more than I expected.

(This list is only the things I wrote this year; some fics I uploaded to AO3 which were originally posted to Livejournal many years ago.)

Star Wars

When Banthas Fly - Anakin accidentally gets high as a kite on Force-Affecting Spice, and Sees Things. This ends up being very bad for Palpatine.

Sith Lords Are Our Speciality - Fix-it fic. Years ago, Obi-Wan (mostly) killed Darth Maul. Now it's Anakin's turn to even the Sith-killing score - and when fate offers him an opportunity to make it two-one in his favor, he's not going to turn it down.

Face in the Mirror - Axe Woves has a drink with Boba Fett, negotiates an alliance, and encounters some unexpected history from an unexpected world. (Or, Crystal falls down a linguistics rabbit hole and makes some Star Wars characters deal with it.)

X-Men

In These Bones - When Erik comes to Charles and asks for help in shutting down a facility which is kidnapping and experimenting on mutant children, Charles can't say no. What they find is worse than anything they could have imagined, and Charles is determined to bring them home safely. It won't be easy for any of them; there's something very sinister going on in those laboratories.

(I am very strongly of the opinion that Magneto has metallokinetic powers alongside the magnetic ones, and I use that as a plot point.)

Drive You - Explicit. Erik's PTSD means that his head sometimes gets louder than he or Charles can bear. If Erik needs to get down on his knees to let go, then Charles is more than willing to help him do so. NSFW.

Search the Sky - 101 Dalmatians AU, X-Men style. But with dragons instead of dogs.

(I am very fond of this one, I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.)

8 to Infinity - The Marvel version of David 8 turns up at the mansion, and is promptly taken under Charles Xavier's wing. In return, David gives Charles the one thing he thought he'd never have.

A reason to break Erik out of jail.

Misc

Scandal Rag - Lois, Clark, and Bruce pull a prank on the whole of Metropolis. This may be the only reason Bruce Wayne would ever wear Superman's outfit.

Original

Yesterday's Legacy - Nearly thirty years ago, Emma and two friends escaped from a fantasy world that was doing its best to kill them. Now their children have been snatched away to that same world.

Emma and her friends are having precisely None Of This Nonsense, and they follow their children back to the fantasy world. And this time, it's the fantasy world that needs to watch out. Especially that no-good, immortal, child-kidnapping Wizard.

Yes, this is still in progress. Yes, I have every intention of finishing it.

Historia Heroum - Archaeologist-wizards dig up something that a hero left behind. Inspired by my wondering what happens a century or so after the quest line for an RPG is completed.

Crown and Forge - After generations of rulers have been possessed by the soul of a former king, the current Heir takes the crown to be melted down.

And That's What Killed Me - In the afterlife, you meet the only other person who died the same way you did.

No Smoke Without Fire - The 'hero' protected himself against fire-breathing dragons. It's a shame he forgot to protect himself against anything else.

Quiet as the Grave - It's a nice town, quiet, with friendly neighbors. It's super natural there, too. Or . . . is that supernatural?

Jack of All Trades - Jack Oatfield is the guy everyone knows. And sometimes, he calls in that favour you owe him.

The Show Must Go On - Horror themes. There's a palace in the depths of space, a familiar tourist attraction. The inhabitants charge cruise ships a pretty penny to watch their nightly entertainments.

Whether the Weather - Villains really should know better than to mess with retired Powers. The retired heroes and ex-villains are the ones who survived.

Happy New Year, everybody!

7 and 29 for the ask game??:)

7. tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote

well it depends on what you define as first fanfic, because technically I wrote self-insert wizard 101 fanfic when I was like 10 and didn't know the term fanfic. but I don't remember the plot of that really. I guess the first fanfic I wrote but never posted was just a small idea for miraculous ladybug where ladybug and chat noir get recruited by shield because I was 15 and still liked marvel at the time lmao

29. give us a spoiler for one of your stories.

oh man... okay kind of a cop out spoiler for glass divine but you're not going to get all the answers you want when it ends :)

Love growing up in the early 2000s! I played wizard 101, watched Zoey 101, saw a man get shot by police, reading fanfics on fanfiction.net! Good times!

Remember those ocs I’d posted awhile back, well heres the prologue to the story im writing for them which covers the first arc. there are still a lot of details to work out so this is not perfect but enjoy the first look!! really excited to finally show you all :)

RATING: PG13 for language, references and allusions 

Warning: slight storyline changes. 

Prologue 

Just Outside The Spiral: 

Earth: New York City, New York State 

8 days before Christmas

——————

Jaqueline sighed as she lugged her duffel bag home for winter break. She had spent the last month in the sun of California at Stanford University, her younger sister Molly attended UCLA so they were.... not particularly close in distance but at least in the same state. yet they were across the country from their mother & that was hard. 

Jaqueline usually was excited to come home, yet for some odd reason this year she had a pit in her stomach. The Hustle and bustle of the city with how close the holidays were approaching didn’t help. she had almost slipped up the steps to her mothers home. she’d felt a different presence as she opened the door; one she’d know anywhere as it was the time of year that he came around. 

“Ah, my young Jacqueline.” the familiar voice said. 

“Mom said we could keep him!” Jaqueline heard the sarcastic quip of her sister from the couch. (who knows how Molly got there before her) “-now shut the door you’re letting in all the cold air.” Molly had an adult complex even if she was only 19. 

Jaqueline was Twenty-One, in any sense legal to drink, and truly an adult... yet still in college cause she started a year late due to mysterious delays with her enrollment. 

Jaqueline had swiftly shut the door and dropped her duffel bag and gave her father a hug. “Dad... I missed you so much.” she admitted during the hug. she had felt the older man, who on earth only appeared to be in his late 50s maybe early 60s, hug onto her tightly. “Oh- I’ve missed you much more my young star.” The man had said before releasing the hug. 

Growing up, Jaqueline only saw her dad on rare occasions and truly didn’t know why she never saw him. (if only she knew it was because of-) Her mother always told both girls  that it was because he was very important & did a lot of work. Although, as she got older Jacqueline noticed how it didn’t add up. She also didn’t understand how the loving relationship her parents had held up with the test of time. 

Yet, there was so much Jacqueline didn’t know about her parents & the world around her. Her Parents were Headmaster of the Ravenwood school of magical arts (which is located in a place called Wizard City within ‘the spiral’): Merle Ambrose & Esteemed Sorceress Aylia DarkThistle. 

Aylia was born in the spiral; Yet to unknown parents, She had been raised in Avalon and how she was able to go between the Earth Realm and the Spiral was a complete mystery yet one she only taught to only one other person... Merle Ambrose, for the purpose of seeing the duo's two daughters: Jacqueline and Molly Ambrose. The two were raised on earth due to Aylia having this gut feeling that it would be safer to not expose them to magic, yet she was right- sure it was only a few months prior that Sylvia Drake died and Malistare ‘exploded’ yet, she was glad the girls were not there. 

Now however, she had no choice- Merle wanted them to see Ravenwood and to maybe even learn their side of magic, what school they were, maybe convince the girls to join the summer program that Aylia had started so many years ago. 

so, she told him simply. “Merle, you drop the bomb we're spending Christmas in a different dimension of sorts and I'll open the portal.” 

Aylia secretly was excited; she wanted the girls to be balance students yet she knew Molly probably would be a storm student- she could see the electricity in her eyes if she looked close enough, or maybe that was just her losing it. Jaqueline however, she knew was a life student from the second the girl was born. she knew. 

she knew Jaqueline would do big things yet she hoped it would be on earth, at Stanford (boy... will Stanford be surprised.) Maybe a lawyer like she wanted.... or maybe a life student serving ravenwood with her father. 

“Jaqueline- what realm are you in? Pixie land-'' Molly had commented noticing her sister had zoned out completely. The younger girl had gotten up and dragged the girl into the living room. “So- Stanford! she’s in Stanford dad- that’s like a prestigious school... i suppose mom has told you the details and gossip about UCLA...because you know nothing of either.” Jaqueline sighed as she lugged her duffel bag home for winter break. She had spent the last month in the sun of California at Stanford University, her younger sister Molly attended UCLA so they were.... not particularly close in distance but at least in the same state. yet they were across the country from their mother & that was hard. 

oh but, Molly knew the plan, she had come home earlier and heard them talking about it. confronting them and telling them she’d help ease the plan to her sister. Molly had her own shocked moment yet now she was filled with this electricity to see her sisters shocked face when her father says-

“Why wouldn’t he know Stanford is a prestigious school? and besides the point it really isn’t-“ Jaqueline spoke with grace and carefully sitting down on the couch. 

“because dad has to tell you something.” Molly chirped and Jacqueline sent her a glare. “so i suppose i’m last to know?” 

“we were supposed to find out together but.... i got home earlier.” 

“Find. out. what. molly?” 

“you’re both wizards.” Merle spoke, ending the two's discussion and forcing them to stare at him, Jacqueline the more utterly shocked one. “Are you crazy?” Jacqueline then questioned. “i’m normal! we’re both normal- no scratch that she’s crazy.” pointing to her sister who took no offense to her comment. 

“told you she’d say that.” Molly only quipped and Merle glared at her.

“what’s taking so long, come on let’s go.” she could hear her mother open the linen closet door and walk out of it as if she hadn’t been there for hours. 

“where pray tell?” Jacqueline started to which Molly just grabbed onto her and started dragging her. 

the holiday season starting off right, in a different dimension.

Having watched the first episode of Wizards again, I’m becoming a bit more convinced that what we got was originally pitched as the second season. Why? Because of the massive glaring plot-hole that I only noticed in retrospect.

Forging the Amulet of Daylight.

It took two master wizards to create the Amulet of Daylight. But original-timeline Douxie was far from a master wizard. His involvement with forging the amulet (if any at all) may have been limited to holding supplies and doing necessary busy work in the background. If Douxie was not so directly involved with the amulet’s forging in the OG!timeline, who was there originally?

Another (former) apprentice, most likely. Merlin’s old. Like, the only thing that could reliably determine his age is carbon-dating. He’s super-old. Someone did the math and figured out he was something like 3500 years old. It’s safe to assume that he’d taught multiple wizardlings in that time period. The Amulet needs to be finished, but Morgana’s gone off the deep end and Douxie’s got an equivalent skill-level of a 5-year old, so Merlin reaches out to an old apprentice to be the second set of hands.

But this is just conjecture. We don’t even know how the original timeline played out.

This is where an exploratory “first” season of Wizards really would have helped cover that plot-hole before it opened up. A hypothetical Season 1 could have given us (the viewers) short flashbacks to the original timeline leading up to Killahead Bridge and creating the Amulet of Daylight, thus showing the viewers just how much got changed as a result of Future!Douxie’s accidental meddling. I think the stakes would have felt higher if we knew just how badly Future!Douxie skewed things off the rails.

Obviously first and foremost I am saying just don't give jkr money. Don't buy the books, don't buy the merch, don't buy the tickets, don't go to the shows, don't buy any licensed products, don't watch it on prime or netflix or anything. If it matters that much, buy a dvd/book from a charity shop or pre-owned. That, first and foremost, is the thing. Put your money where your mouth is about trans rights.

But also, try putting your mouth where your money is. Unless there's a disclaimer attached I genuinely assume every person who talks to me about that stuff is, at best, actively clueless about trans rights and at worst actively out to get me more so than the average transphobe. This means, absolute best case scenario, that talking to someone who is a fan of the media and doesn't engage with the creator is going to be an emotionally exhausting trans rights 101 and, at worst, could get me killed.

"The number of fanfics doesn't affect policies" except... Yes it does? Any measurable statistic showing that the media has such a wide reach does, directly, keep jkr a public figure and, as a public figure, gives her opinions enough weight that she gets to write fucking policy. Let it fade! Let it shiver and blur its way to obscurity! She has influence, and by continuing to engage with her work you are continuing to perpetuate this influence. If her work is trending on social media? Policy makers see that! They use those metrics to decide if she's worth listening to! By engaging with the content, you are saying yes she is.

Look, the bottom line is, if you're not a trans person in the UK you can't possibly understand what this is doing to life here. I can't visit my friends because hundreds of people are blocking the city centre holding signs and stickers saying "Stand with JKR" and just waiting to spot someone they think looks wrong. I stay home those days. I almost had to phone out of work because of it once because I didn't think I could find a safe route in. They're blocking access to sexual health and reproductive services. They're harassing people out of their jobs. There's no way for us to safely access support after being assaulted. It's not just transphobia, it's all sorts of bigotry, and they're doing it holding wizard-themed signs. Her status as an author of something so widely supported is directly giving credence to these people. Even if what you're posting is trans [wizard] headcanons, the metric tracked is [wizard]. You're still saying yes.

Welp, I’ve been summoned by the game twice, so I must participate.

Three ships you used to be obsessed with: Jetra (Female!Jesse and Petra), Sonadow (Sonic and Shadow), and Silver and Amy.

Three ships you’re into now: Kokobolt (Desuhiko and Yuma), Viviakou (Vivia and Yakou), and Yakou and his wife. All of which are from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code.

Top Blorbos Ever: Yuma Kokohead, Yakou Furio, and Makoto Kagutsuchi (Master Detective Archives: Rain Code), Lloyd Garmadon (Ninjago), Kaede Akamatsu (Danganronpa), Iroha Nijiue and Hibiki Otonokoji (Danganronpa Another)

First Fandom: I believe it was Ninjago when I was first active in a fandom.

Fandoms You’re In Now: Ninjago and Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, with maybe Miraculous Ladybug sometimes/occasionally. Not sure what I call my stance in Danganronpa though.

Describe your first fan creation, or the oldest one you remember: It’s actually a Wizard 101 fanfic with original characters I tried to make into a novel I would give to the company one day as an official Wizard 101 book. I was going to give it to the company, but then I decided to make it into an original arcanepunk novel for the future. Not sure it counts since I didn’t really use much of the game’s elements (or even get to the academy itself lol), but it was based on Wizard 101 so I think it should count.

Favorite character dynamic: Father-figure characters to younger characters. Or any found family vibes in general.

“I don’t go here but this pair seems fun” ship: I’m not entirely sure since ships aren’t something I’m too big on, but the closest I can think of is maybe Pokémon ships (not that I dislike them, I can read them just fine, I even like the Kalosshipping, but compared to the other ships, I’m not too big on them), or maybe Persona 5 shipping.

Ships that still float around in your brainspace/honorable mentions: Saimatsu (Shuichi and Kaede), Saiouma (Shuichi and Kokichi), Iroha and Hibiki (Danganronpa Another 2), Jesskas (Female!Jesse and Lukas from Minecraft: Story Mode), Kaloshipping (Ash and Serena).
