moments mondays: teaser of midnight rains and dreams
Scorpius softly kisses the boy, touching foreheads when they separate. The boy never speaks, but his eyes shine with love Scorpius has never known, and he feels his heart swell every time they share a look. This boy is his soulmate, cloaked in green and silver, Scorpius’ legacy colors. It’s beautiful, and he doesn’t want to lose any of what he has.
Scorpius knows he will though. Eventually dreams must end and Scorpius wakes up, a hole in his heart. But he doesn’t think of that, for now, his heart is full and happy, and nothing can go wrong…
But things do go wrong, of course, because Scorpius’ alarm goes off just then. He takes in a moment to gather his surroundings, and then remember how he felt in the dream. It’s a funny thing, his dreams. He’s always dreamt vividly, and been able to talk to people. But he remembers this one, feeling so at home and at peace with the boy in green and silver, and his heart hurts. The boy has been in his dreams for a few weeks now, always sharing soft kisses and quiet loving moments all night long. Scorpius would always wake up though, leaving him mourning the night and longing for the sunset. He’s never loved someone before, but this must be what love feels like, if Scorpius wants it so badly.
Midnights Rains and Dreams, a new series by The Slytherin Writer, chronicling what happens when two unlikely lovers meet for the first time, but already know each other through dreams, is coming soon to Ao3. Keep posted for more details.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will end their Toronto run on July 2, 2023. After 13 months and more than 425 performances, it will set the record for the longest-running professional play in Canadian history. I guess this means I have to go see it one more time.
Scorbus is canon! This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill!
I saw the Toronto showing of the Cursed Child yesterday and Scorbus HAS to be canon. In fact, I went in completely blind. I didn't know what to expect and had no spoilers prior to watching it. However, I was so surprised. First, the actor who played Scorpius, I believe, portrayed him as autistic. I LOVED that! It was such sweet and wonderful representation. I'll try to recap a bit of the Scorbus moments from memory, so it might not be completely accurate. In the beginning, when Harry tells Albus he can't be with Albus anymore, he throws a MASSIVE fit. It was super cute. There was a staircase scene (I think it's called the staircase ballet) where Albus tries to avoid Scorpius on the moving staircases at Hogwarts while Scorpius tries to reach him. They're kept apart as Albus runs away and the staircases keep moving them apart. It was literally the most stereotypical Disney "we want to be together but can't be together scene." It was definitely at this moment I felt something was going on between their relationship. Also, when Snape asks Scorpius who he's fighting for, he says Albus. I also remember that in the end, Albus leans into Scorpius, almost like he wants to kiss him, before Rose interrupts saying something along the lines of it "only being awkward if they make it awkward." The most shocking part has to be at the end when Albus comes out to Harry saying that Scorpius is "the most important person to him and might be the most important person the rest of his life." Harry then says he knows and that he likes Albus. I wish I could remember more, but, to be honest, I never even thought it might be canon. My brother is the Potterhead, and he just really wanted to see the show. I didn't know what to expect at all. I had suspicions in the beginning of the play, but I figured it was just queerbaiting (like always). I chalked it up to just "two bros being close" because I didn't think I would see something like this in mainstream media. But, the conversation Albus had with his dad at the end completely made me rethink everything and realize they were crushing on each other the whole time! I hope others had the same experience at the shows in other cities, because it was a phenomenal show! I would highly recommend it!
If Merlin had a happy ending… and was on HBO, eh? The cast was already too beautiful to handle on the show, though, so this level might’ve been waaay too much, ahh… Inspiration and reference from this stunning “Savage Grace” scene. Also, I decided the design of Uther’s crown would be a bit more comfy to wear in bed than Arthur’s own, lol… (My Art Tag) *Please do not repost(?) or use elsewhere without my permission, thank you.
