hello! i hope you’re doing well! quick question for you. i know you’ve said you likely won’t write any more HP fanfic which i totally understand and respect as a trans person myself. but i wanted to ask if you’re still going to leave your existing works up? i’ve read quite a few of them and ADORE your writing so much (DYH ofc but also the tension and the terror, the road not taken, we can pretend, heavy in your arms, etc etc etc) and would be v sad if they disappeared :( i also still want to read all the ones i haven’t gotten to yet!
Hello friend! You are very sweet, I'm so happy you like all my fics!! Yes, I will be leaving existing works up. I'm proud of my HP fics, even if I won't be adding to them, and I know they mean something to other people, too. Which just makes me so happy 🥰🥰🥰
just finished reading the most recent chapter of i'm only cryptic and machiavellian cause i care and the second-hand embarrassment i got when peter came out of his bathroom with GINGER HAIR made me wanna crawl out of my skin. the chapter was beautiful, perfect and pete's so pathetic i love it.
thank you <3333
yeah, peter makes me wanna die or cringe all the fucking time writing it honestly.
that was def what u was going for. thank you sm <33
The ginger hair 😱😱😱😱
I love your writing😍
Thank you so much! 🥺💙
gonna reread my fav fic 💪💪 (we can be heroes by @blitheringmcgonagall /youblitheringidiot on ao3)
@enbysiriusblack single-handedly making my day. 🙏💙☺️
We Can Be Heroes picColage I Made a while ago with my fancasts for the marauders 🥰🥰🥰!
(From top left: Dorcas, Marlene, Mary, Severus, Dumbledore, Lily, James, Peter, McGonagall, Remus, Sirius, Regulus, Mia Potter, Monty Potter, Voldemort, Bellatrix)
(PS I’m thinking of doing a podfic of it although it would mostly be for myself tbh as not sure anyone would be interested but I would like to have it, even if the Irish accent would be something else 😂😂😂😂!)
And his eyes snapped to the red-haired boy beside Harry, to the small, twitching form clutched in unknowing hands.
The rat.
Peter.
A surge of contempt roiled within him, sharp and sickening, tainting the air with its bitterness.
Filth.
Filth.
Murderous filth.
That was all Peter was—no man, no friend.
He was a slithering thing that had betrayed the people he called family, condemned them to death, and slunk away to live as a child’s pet.
A filthy, snivelling parasite nestled into the hands of the innocent.
He didn’t even deserve the word coward; that was too noble a title for a thing like Peter, a thing that wore the guise of manhood only to betray it at every turn.
If you take prompts, can you write the Whooping Willow scene in PoA from Sirius' pov, please?
It's ok if you don't :) but in love with your writing 💕💕❤️
Thanks anon :D Here is the build-up to Sirius dragging Ron into the willow from Sirius's POV. It's what I call 'Murderous Godfather Sirius Black,"
Snippet:
He was fury given form, a creature born of vengeance and fire.
White-hot and searing, it fueled him—coursing through his veins, nourishing his starving body, lending strength to his wasted muscles.
It drove him onward, bones pressing against dirt-caked skin, his body reduced to a vessel of pure wrath.
In his mind, an ocean churned, waves of rage crashing against the edges of his sanity, uncontainable and relentless. Fury poured into him like an unceasing tide, brimming to the point of overflowing, holding him upright when exhaustion gnawed at his bones, filling the hollow spaces hunger had left behind.
Vengeance would be his feast.
He waited, hidden by the carpet of rotting leaves.
The scent of decay filling Padfoot’s nose, thick and damp like the newly tilled earth of a grave.
Summary:
retrograde adj. ret·ro·grade a : moving in a backward direction b : affecting memories of a period prior to a precipitating event (such as brain injury or disease) It is a normal October day when James loses his wife. All he can do is hold onto the hope that she will come back to him.
IN RETROGRADE IS COMING BACK!!!

If you receive this, you make somebody happy! Go on anon and send this to 10 of your followers who make you happy or somebody you think needs cheering up. If you get one back, even better! ✨
I needed this today 🥺🥺💙💙
Here to trick or treat!!
What are your general headcanons/metas on background lore in Harry Potter? (i'm thinking in the similar vein of your wizarding fashion)
ooh I have a fair few:
The intersectionality of blood status:
The top of the wizarding pecking order is undoubtedly the purebloods. However, amongst them there is an internal hierarchy which is determined by two key intersectional identities:
Within the constructs of St Mungos and Azkaban incapacitating mental illness is framed as ‘worse than death.’ And access to treatment appears to be judged on the morality of the individual. Gilderoy Lockhart while amoral was not a death eater so is allowed the more humane institutionalisation of St Mungos. As are the heroic Frank and Alice Longbottom (who are still viewed with large amounts of pity).
In this example, Araminta wants to ensure what she is doing is legal (that’s not to say she doesn’t do it anyway), and she uses her clout to try and force the bill through. This is interesting for several reasons. It mainly demonstrates that the Blacks want the oppression that flows from their beliefs enshrined in law and that their bloodthirsty tendencies need to appear to follow laws/have a veneer of respectability.
For the Black family, the front stage is where they present a refined image of themselves. The family motto, "Toujours Pur" is a key part of this performance, reinforcing their commitment to blood purity and the superiority they claim comes with it.
But as Goffman explains, there is also a "backstage," where a mask off image is revealed. Think of it as changing out of your outside clothes into your comfy house clothes.
In the backstage, the Black family’s iron fist comes into play. This is where their real power lies—power that is unvarnished, coercive, and often brutal. It’s in the backstage where they are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain their image, and honestly it gives CULT.
So, I think the Longbottoms have their own version of the "velvet glove over an iron fist." They might not be as fanatical as the Blacks, but there’s still this deep need to maintain their family reputation.
Neville is dangled out of a window by his uncle Algie because they were terrified he was a Squib. And this implies that there's an underlying pressure to ensure that Neville lives up to the Longbottom name.
So Voldemort strategically brands his social elite Death Eaters with the mark, which if revealed would send them tumbling down the social hierarchy. This would also explain why death-eaters who are already social pariahs, such as Greyback, do not receive them.
And would also explain the fear many of the DE demonstrated during the graveyard scene in GoF and why they returned despite their fear:
“The Death Eaters stirred, and Harry saw their eyes dart sideways at one another through their masks.” GoF
Death is so central to the series, that the story opens with a double murder, failed infanticide and the supposed death and defeat of Voldemort. Indeed, the book is named after a magical instrument that grants immortality ( the philosophers/sorcerers stone), and the book’s primary plot revolves around the plan to steal the Elixir of Life.
First off, the way we gender fragrances wouldn’t really make sense in the Wizarding World; they’d just blend notes without any thought of “masculine” or “feminine.” Gendered scents are actually a modern marketing ploy, basically invented so we’d spend more on one kind of perfume over another. Wizards wouldn’t be following that at all, so you’d have this amazing variety of complex, mixed fragrances—no one gatekeeping sandalwood or rose, just everyone smelling like they’ve rolled around in an apothecary.
So, this is a drabble from my fic which is centered around my oc Evangeline "Evie" Potter. She is Harry Potter's younger sister by one year. I haven't actually started writing it but I wrote this part on a whim because I have been thinking about it a lot lol. So, in this fic the Scamander family would play a major role in the story. So, my fic "Something Wild (Calls You Home)" which covers the years of Newt after this expulsion, will be the background for Newt here. Nigel Scamander is Newt's grandfather, and Annalise, Rolf and Lysander are Newt and Tina's grandchildren and Ria which is short for Wisteria who is Newt and Tina's daughter. This drabble is Molly Weasley critical and Sirius Black defense but only in one sentence at the end, so if you don't like these things then please don't ruin your day by reading it. This drabble takes place during Order of the Pheonix. Enjoy!
Newt thought back to his own childhood house that was now occupied by Ria and her little family. Now covered with children’s drawings and pictures of the little ones growing into themselves. Sweet Annalise with her confident smile, shy Rolf with his nervous grin, little Lysander being distracted by something that’s not the camera. The house was a home now, and full of life.
It wasn’t like that when he was growing up. The walls were blue that almost seemed grey and the people in the pictures were stoic, or respectful if you asked Nigel Scamander. There was no life inside that house, only coldness. His parents distant, his grandfather demanding, his brother —. His room inside and the forest outside was his only safe haven.
Newt was a sad child but he grew into a confident adult. That house was nothing but reminiscent of his mother's alcoholism, his father's harshness and his grandfather's control. When he was thrown out at only 17, he knew he never wanted to go back there. He did go back to Dartmoor several times but hardly to that house.
He wondered if he was locked in that house again. Not the home Ria had created but the cold house with reminders of his traumatic past etched in every corner. With the same blue-grey walls, with the same stench of wine. With someone from his childhood whispering the things they used to say of him, with not a single ally, in fact everyone treating him as a delinquent for things no fault of his own. Newt would be a hundred in two years and still the thought filled him with dread, being locked in that house.
This time Theseus wouldn't be there to make it a little bearable. Oh, how he missed his brother. When they were little they were distant, there was resentment between them which was just the consequence of people pitting them against each other. In fact, Theseus was the person Newt loved the most from his childhood.
No, Newt realised, I wouldn't be able to survive it. And especially not after going through what Sirius had gone through in the recent years. That is why he felt anger whenever Molly disrespected Sirius like that. Sirius Black deserved compassion and understanding.
I left a total of 50 comments that qualify for the fest, never mind the comments I left on other fics and updates over these past 5 days!
How did YOU guys do??
Looking forward to the next fest!! ❤️❤️❤️
You are amazing!!! This fandom is so lucky to have you with your beautiful fics and generous support 💕💕💕🥳🥳🥳💕💕💕🥳🥳🥳💕💕💕
Harry's reaction to the Mirror of Erised always breaks my heart. He is just eleven and he has never, never even seen his parents. I hate the Dursleys so much. Like he looks hungrily at the mirror, he is so engrossed that only a distant sound breaks him out of it. And the next morning when he is telling Ron at breakfast he isn't eating anything because he has lost his appetite. He doesn't care about what Fluffy is guarding or why does it even matter if Snape steals it. All that matters is that he gets to see his family again because this little boy is so starved of it 😭. I think this is one of the reasons these books are popular even among the adults because some of the characters feel real.
This month was kinda crazy. I was hospitalized for kidney infection that spread to my blood and I'm still just drained from it and medicines. But still got some reading done in first part of the month and have decent numbers.
**have you read any of these? What's your favorite this month?

lily finding james' intelligence sooo irritating and always being pissed off when he answers questions correctly in class or gets top marks in a test, and she always tells her friends that she's irritated purely cause he's a conceited show off about it.
until one day when james and her are kinda becoming friends and he's just explaining a theory in class and lily can't help but listen intently and stare with heart eyes and by the time he finishes, lily is resisting the desire to snog him and when that clocks in her head she just whispers, "fuck"
