Upcoming >>> Jenny Grinteeth Currently working on the final edit for chapters 9 and 10. It’s always hard to say goodbye to a story!

Chapter 20 - Draco's Discovery

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49082113/chapters/133412287

Harry is not going back to the Dursleys. He has been out of the cupboard for a whole year; he’s not going back in. It’s tricky - he doesn’t really want to have to explain to anyone. But he’s magic now! He has an invisibility cloak! And he’s had a lot of practice lying still and pretending he doesn’t exist. So he can definitely hide out and avoid being put back on the Hogwarts Express, right? Nothing can go wrong with an eleven year old by themselves for 9 weeks in a wild, magical castle, can it?

NB - I do not support JKR, nor her ongoing campaign to ostracise and isolate trans people. Trans Liberation Now. I remain in the fandom but solemnly swear never to support her financially, I will not buy her books, merchandise or watch her content.

Merry Friday, everyone <3

For those who have been waiting... Chapter 1 of Jenny Grinteeth is up on AO3! This is a completed 10 chapter fic, which I'll be posting on Fridays mostly, in between some other Merthur coming up soon.

It's my longest Merthur fic yet and, if you can believe it, the angstiest. Yes, even angstier than Heart Wound. I'm sorry. But I promise you, I believe in happy endings!
