you’re someone i just want around: XII

“I used to hear a simple song

That was until you came along

You took my broken melody

And now I hear a symphony.”

— I Hear a Symphony, Cody Fry

A/N: long time no see besties 💀 it’s been a couple of hectic months so ysijwa got put on the back-burner for a bit as a result. i’m sure you guys have heard that joke about fic writers where we disappear for a while and then come back with an update like “sorry for not posting for a while i was in the psych ward” or “sorry i haven’t updated, my grandma died.” well uhhh mine actually did ASDLJFSFL so yeah you can imagine how that kinda put a dent in my life, alongside school and such (sorry i saw the chance to make the joke and i had to take it, don’t worry it’s what she would have wanted). ANYWAYS!! to make up for being MIA, this chapter is the longest one to date, and it is actually probably the most important one in terms of the plot because it has a TON of really important clues and hints about Harry’s past. I’m talking actual scenes of him and Snap Crackle for the first time ever, which makes for good theorizing content 😌 thank you so much for all your constant love and support for us and for this fic, it wouldn’t be what it is without all of you! we truly can’t say that enough :’) just a gentle reminder that feedback is truly, madly, deeply™ appreciated, so if you enjoy it, please reblog it! spreading content keeps creators motivated! also this chapter is going out to mia @hardcandy-harry bc i know she’s currently going Through It and is still somehow finding the time to read this so mia i adore you bestie, i hope everything turns out alright and for what it’s worth, your new bangs look so cute!! without further delay, i hope y'all enjoy the latest installment of the Sherlock and Watson Show, cause i literally burned all my brain cells writing it! mwah!

the podcast leyla and i did regarding the fic

word count: 70.6k (nobody fucking look at me it’s been 8 months in the making)

content/warnings: Harry starting off his pov by being dramatic (as per usual), lots of fluff and lovesick banter and so much domesticity to the point where it’s vile, the Fang Gang being idiots (also as per usual) while pursuing careers in pottery, Harry being fucking nosy and roping Y/N into his gossipy antics, a virtual tour of Harry’s forbidden Dracula dungeon, the vampire version of Fight Club (Bite Club, if you will), the Dynamic Duo opening up to each other even more about all the feelings they hid from one another before they became official (sweet, sweet vindication), malewife to the extreme, Blair 2.0, Among Us cause why not, instilling psychological damage on an innocent pigeon, mentions/depictions of smut, the romantification of an emotionless asshole, and basically that scene in Doctor Strange where he gets his shit rocked into the astral plane but instead of touring dimensions you’re gonna be touring memories from Harry’s traumatic past <3

Harry is usually known for dressing up the truth. 

He used to be the type of person who would wince at the idea of lying to someone, even if it was simply by omission, because lying meant prolonging the inevitable, and prolonging the inevitable meant widening the scope of pain he’d cause when the inevitable would do what its very definition entails: reveal the unavoidable reality of whatever he’d been trying to hide.

Lying meant playing God. It meant warping someone else’s perceptions and emotions, and manipulating them for the sake of his own benefit, without taking into consideration how his lies would impact their lives in the future. It just wasn’t right— it wasn’t fair. Leading people astray wasn’t something he should have power over; everyone deserves to know the truth of their situation, at the very least, because truth is what builds trust, and trust builds credibility, and credibility builds happiness. It’s a domino effect, really, and just as it can be tipped towards the favorable good, it can also tip towards the destructive bad. Harry used to believe that it was every individual’s responsibility to choose the right side— to tip the first piece with benevolent intentions— and to uphold the foundation of basic human decency, not for selfish reasons, but for the welfare of humanity as a whole.  

But Harry is no longer human, therefore he is technically no longer part of humanity, which means he can put to rest the stupid Obi-Wan Kenobi moral superiority bullshit he followed back when he wasn’t an immortal. An immortal who is now— by every means imaginable— superior in every other way except moral. Lying has become an integral part of who he is, and when it gets down to the nitty-gritty, he actually does it for the good of everyone outside of his kind. Perhaps he does possess a shred of humanitarianism after all. 

Of course, it’s also because he’d rather not end up dismembered in a lab under an obscure military base in the middle of a desert. He’s too attractive to be torn to bits in the name of science; it’d be such a waste of a pretty face. 

So, now that Harry has changed not only outwardly (all for the better, honestly), but also in his inward ethical ideals, lying has become second-nature. Most times. Does he still feel a tad uncomfortable when he does it? Yes, but only with certain people— namely, his friends and his girlfriend. Everyone else is collateral damage. So what if he lied to Jeff Bezos about a charity for an endangered species of turtles (his knowledge courtesy of a graduate zoology student he slept with a couple of years back— thanks for the lecture and accompanying fellatio, Emelio). Bezos is a rich elitist prick, and the money is going to a great cause either way: the vampire’s collection of YSL boots. 

With all of this taken into account, Harry wouldn’t hold it against anyone for taking everything that comes out of his mouth with a grain of salt. Most of it is a variant of some form of bluff, and the fact that he can usually pass it off as truth without batting an eye makes doubting him the more compelling alternative. However, there is one declaration that the monster can confidently make, which he can promise on his undead life is the truth and nothing but the truth: 

RelationshipHero.com can kiss his ass.

writing fanfic more like:

have I used that word recently *ctrl + f* shit

“are you still working on that fic?” last edited: 24th January 2005 “haha of course”

that feeling when someone comments

planning a fic down to the words you’ll use without anywhere to write it down and getting home and remembering none of it

it’s just a fic no one will care about inaccuracies *spends four hours researching a 2000-word one-shot*

grammar

*sees word in advert* yes that’s a good word I’ll remember that word *never uses word*

my last four fanfics are centred around this character and while it means their characterisation is perfect, people are yelling at me

“oh you write? can you name a character after me” “ummm”

is that a real word *red line appears* well why isn’t it

Harry hates clubs.

In his two hundred years of life, through many trials and tribulations, through tricky scenarios and annoying encounters, through thousands of unappealing circumstances and patience-testing events, he doesn’t think anything quite compares to the crowded, nerve-wracking experience that is a Los Angeles club on a Friday night during peak hours.

According to his wise, humble opinion, it’s absolutely fucking petrifiying. He’d rather swallow a stake than have to spend hours in a dimly lit room with synthetic smoke choking his lungs, half-conscious humans stumbling around into him, and the stench of sweaty bodies mixed with liquor fumes, alongside the faint yet unmistakable waft of vomit.

Yeah, Harry would definitely rather eat a red oak spear than have to shoulder that.

bb being a pain in vampys ass ?? yeah <3

She’d do it any chance she gets and he always jolts and whips around with the most peeved expression on his face. “Why do you insist on constantly defiling me?”

“It’s fun.”

“You’re a pain in the arse. Literally.”

“Oh, so it’s okay for you to slap my ass whenever you want, but when I do it in return, you get pissed? That’s pretty sexist. Are you a misogynist, Harry? Is that it?

“No.”

“Good! That settles it, then.” Y/N smacks his backside one more time as hard as she possibly can, placing a playful peck to his cheek before grabbing her mug of tea and walking towards the couch, calling over her shoulder with a taunting tone. “This is feminism at its finest, Holmes!”

She starts doing it so often to the point where if she ever walks past him and doesn’t do it, he gets lowkey offended.
