Wizarding folk did not understand your work as a Specularri. Most with the gift of Sight failed to be as tenacious and diligent as the training required. But Seers who did were highly sought after by the bereaved, even the Ministry consulted you on mysterious deaths. The night of the new moon was usually ideal for your work, but when it coincided with the death of Sirius Black, nothing went as expected. Read this on A03 here!

PART I - PART II
||Author’s Note|| I’ve gotta admit- I’m pretty nervous to post this first chapter. If you’re here because you read my other fan fiction, Painting- hello! This story is going to feel very different. I’ve come up with more original fodder for this story and I hope that doesn’t disenchant anyone who wants to slip right into the world. I know it may seem disconnected from the world of Harry Potter and the marauders at first, but if you stick with me I promise there is a through line. I probably shouldn’t do too much anxious explaining though. For those of you who pine for Sirius Black, for those of you who love a romance hard-won, for those of you who enjoy the slow burn of love when you are not ready for affection- I’ve began to write this story for you. I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you to @thedorkyastra for helping me with this story.
Though many people love the world of Harry Potter, J K Rowling has been making problematic statements for a long time and I am glad to see people taking her most recent ignorance seriously, as the gross, transphobic, hate speech that it is.
There is so much beloved content that contains problematic, dangerous or inappropriate elements. Or, the author sucks. If we don’t learn to accept the good content while learning to acknowledge, highlight, and stand against the problematic content, we are throwing away most of the creative stories in our world. And that’s a shame, I’d rather we reclaim it and make it better. So even though this is Harry Potter fan fiction, this story centers around a non binary reader. It is my hope that anyone feels like they can slip into this story, and be apart. I want to make space for all who are willing to salvage this story. Any trans folks and gender queer folks who are here, reading, as I ramble on- Hi. You are welcome here. Thanks for giving me your time. <3

“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
hate when people think I know stuff. I dont know anything, I just use Google. I Google simple words because they look like they're spelled wrong and I cant be sure. I Google how to boil eggs every time I do it. this is who I am.
i don’t know how to tell people that deriving pleasure - sexual pleasure included! - from art* is good actually, and that creating specific kind of art “just” because you find it hot or whatever is just as good a reason as any, and you don’t actually need some “deep and meaningful” reason to create art about things. pleasure - sexual pleasure included - is not the devil, it is not Bad and shameful, and it’s not any less valid of a reason to create something than because you want to, idk, explore the depths of the human consciousness or something

- don't let anyone tell you staying in the closet is cowardly or selfish. you don't owe anyone coming out for any reason, and you still deserve to celebrate pride
