Morally guilty Harry and down bad tom who would do anything to get him is my favorite combo

[rowena-rain]

[rowena-rain]

I say ERH (Everyone is Right Here). Harry IS a Cinnamon Roll who COULD kill you! If you give him a good reason and get in his way he could definitely kill you and not even feel bad about it. He IS ruthless and feral. BUT, if he feels even the tiniest, most microscopic bit sympathetic to you--if you DON'T give him a good reason to kill you (and often even if you do!)--he will put his own life on the line to save you.

He is a category unto himself, your honor. The sweetest fuckin selectively poisonous cinnamon roll.

hot take: harry potter IS a cinnamon roll, it's not his fault everyone is so horribly mean to him. He has a surprising amount of restraint.

by which i mean he's justified in snapping back i phrased that weird

Eh. I mean. To each their own interpretation. But for me this doesn't quite work. I definitely hate the idea that Harry was just being angsty in 5th year for no reason. Clearly he was suffering from severe and very justifiable trauma and PTSD and reacting accordingly.

But like. Harry can be pretty deadly. In book 1 he murdered Quirrel and never felt bad about it. In book 2 he took Lockhart hostage and forced him to walk first into the Chamber so if the basilisk popped out it would eat him. In book 3 he considered killing Sirius. Especially when he was young, Harry was feral af. And it continues. In book 5 when a Death Eater's head gets regressed to baby age, Harry is still fully ready to curse him and it's only because Hermione stops him that he doesn't. In book 7 he stuns Death Eaters in and air-born battle where he knows full well that doing so will likely result in them falling to their deaths (confirmed by the fact that he holds back from attacking Stan Shunpike because he doesn't want to kill him.) In book 7 he also makes no effort to locate Crabbe after he's rescued Draco. And goes into the final battle with Voldemort fully intending for him to die. You could definitely justify all this. But like. Canon Harry is very much in ;looks like he could kill you and could actually kill you' territory vs the pure cinnamon roll soft boi Harry we often get in fanon.

i hate how you get desensitized to the cool stuff in your WIP if you've been writing it for a long time so when you read back over it you're like "this isn't as cool as i thought :(" but it still is! you just read it too many times

[rowena-rain]

Ooh I wanna know about the polyjuice brothel AU!

Also:

@known-concepts asked: Hello! I'd love to know more about the Polyjuice brothel WIP

Thanks for asking <3. Trying not to reveal too much cuz I think this one is technically supposed to be anonymous at first (oops), but here's a lil snippet below the cut.

Before you even know what you’re doing, you’ve got him shoved up against the wall, your fists filled with the lapels of his stupid tailored waistcoat. In place of the momentary fear you saw a minute ago, his eyes—perfect mirrors of your own—are blazing with something disconcertingly like excitement.  “Tell me where you’re getting his hair from,” you grind out. “If you want the precise details, I’m afraid that’s above my pay grade. You’ll have to take it up with the proprietor…” Then, infuriatingly, he gives you a cheeky smirk and adds, “You can hit me if you like. But there’s an extra fee for that.”

shape of fear 2!

Also:

@yulerule asked:

Hi! Interesting sandwich you have there!

Also very happy to see shape of fear 2!

I know the "sandwich" part was referring to the Harry/Tom/Harry Sandwich wip discussed here, buuuut... Let's just say it's not entirely irrelevant to shape of fear 2 👀

This is the sequel to In the Shape of Fear, Erised (which, yes, is way too long of a title, I'm working on it, okay 😭). Small spoiler for that, but also if you haven't read the first one (why not?), it'll probably just sound like nonsense anyway:

Harry keeps his emotional support pocket boggart boyfriend throughout 4th year. (Pocket boggart boyfriends provide excellent stress relief for the Triwizard Tournament!).

But then: oh no, Voldemort is resurrected and finds out what naughty things Harry's been up to with his younger self! What's a Boy Who Lived to do with one teenage Tom AND one full-on Dark Lord on his hands??

whatever u do, do not think about how the last words harry ever heard sirius say were “come on, you can do better than that!”

whatever u do, do not think about how the last words sirius ever said to harry were “harry, take the prophecy, grab neville and run!” (it reminded harry of another time, 15 years before when another man shouted the same words to his wife in an attempt to save him)

whatever u do, do not think about how sirius black died with a smile on his face and laughter in his eyes, finally reuniting with the man who was the other half of him

whatever u do, do not think about how on this day, 18 june 1996, harry potter lost the closest thing to a father he had and screamed himself hoarse as he struggled to save him, struggled to save another person who had died to protect him

Harry/Tom/Harry sandwich?

Also:

Anonymous asked: thank you for the tag on the wip game post! endlessly curious about the harry/tom/harry sandwich wip, would love to hear more!!

@sri-verse asked: Harry/Tom/Harry sandwich if you may? Because I am always hungry for those😁

GUYS. This might be the single most unhinged thing I've ever written, and I am so excited/nervous to share it! It will be posted very soon as part of Captivous. (It's technically completed already, but I'll probably release in parts because I'm an engagement whore.)

I guess if you want a taste of how unhinged this is, I can share a sneak-peek of the tags. Although I also think it could be fun to read going in blind without reading the tags (only if you're, ya know, not easily triggered or squicked!).

Call it Stockholm Syndrome. Call it Tom Riddle’s Harry Potter Obsession. Call it Harry Potter and Tom Riddle’s Codependency. Call it whatever you want. The red string of fate stretches across decades, across timelines, Horcrux or not. All the versions of you. The versions of him. It doesn’t matter. You’re all knotted up together so badly, you can never be untangled. And maybe if you’re honest with yourself for once, you don’t really want to be.

A/N and Tags Preview below the break!

Additional Tags: Angst, Romance, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Smut, Explicit Sexual Content, Underage Sex (15), Dubious Consent, Consensual But Not Safe Or Sane, Kidnapping, Captive Tom Riddle, Time Travel, Minor Harry/OMC (plot device only), Minor Major Character Death (not in the timeline that matters!), Threesome - M/M/M, Self-cest, False accusation of sexual abuse, Implied/Referenced Childhood Sexual Abuse (not between main pairing), Manipulative Tom Riddle, Tom Riddle is a Little Shit, Harry Potter is a Little Shit, Harry Potter is So Done, Harry’s Still Harry (just making some very morally questionable decisions), First Time, Age Difference, Daddy Kink, Praise Kink, Collars, Punching Yourself as Foreplay, Choking, Of both the sexual and nonsexual varieties, Double Blow Job, Come Sharing, Comeplay, Rimming, Edging, Begging, Double Anal Penetration, Double Penetration in One Hole, Anal Gaping, Light Masochism, Implied Pseudo-Incest, Is it Suicidal Behavior or Attempted Self-Murder?, Codependency, Trauma, Healing, Self-Love, (It's a work in progress), freak4freak4freak, Porn with Plot and Feelings, Baby dark lords can have little a double-servings of Harry as a treat, Captivous 2025

On today’s episode of Rowena Rain writes extremely kinky porn laced with heavy plot and enough feelings to make Brené Brown proud* (maybe?? If you’re out there, Brené, I love you, I’m sorry, please don’t read this)… Yeah. This one’s a lot—of everything. Mind the tags (or just raw dog it if you’re feeling brave). The dove isn’t dead, but awful things happen to doves who meddle with time, or whatever Hermione said. Rated E for Everyone’s Making Terrible Decisions Including the Author. (Harry’s not dark in this—he’s just tired, traumatized, and a bit ethically compromised :)) Yes, it's in second person POV**. I know, I know—I used to hate it, too. BUT! I promise this is NOT a "y/n" or reader-insert thing (no judgment if that's your thing). It's just the POV the story wanted to be in. I don’t make the rules. So maybe give it a shot anyway?

*Brené Brown was not consulted in the making of this fic and likely would not endorse the therapeutic value of DP’ing a narcissist with yourself, but we thank her for her service anyway. **And! Second person is actually super useful for m/m/m threesomes, self-cest, and any kind of gay smut where you don't want to have to repeat people's names 5000 times to clarify who's who. Or worse, having to say shit like "the raven-haired man" (that wouldn't even help in this case lol). So if you're a writer, consider joining our cult movement today! We have free... smut. (I mean, so does everyone else, but we do, too.)

Hi, it's eris-eveningstar! Now, what exactly is that fireworks to incest au??? Damn am I curious.

Hello and thank you for the tag! Just answered here.

[rowena-rain]

(For the WIP ask game) I am fascinated about your 322-fireworks to incest pipeline!

Ah, the Fireworks to Incest Pipeline... I have two things to say about this story.

This is, quite frankly, please don't doxx me, the most autobiographical thing I have ever written. Everything in it actually happened.* If it were a movie, it would be advertised as "Based on a True Story!" *Except for the incest. It was just Some Guy(TM), not my brother lol. Also, the magic (that I'm aware of). Also, I was the one wearing the heels. Also: apologies to any Czech people reading this. Your fireworks are, tbh, legitimately insane and terrifying—but the incident involving the fireworks actually happened in the US of A. So please, no one judge the safety of Czech pyrotechnics based on this fic. I know this was probably your primary concern. Other than all that, this story is about as true as the Texas Chainshaw Massacre, which was allegedly based on (?) a true story that did not occur in Texas, did not involve a chainsaw, and was not, in fact, a massacre.

Disclaimer that I don't actually know anything about Wincest, but! Also allegedly: fireworks lead to incest! This completely factual statement is supported by scientific evidence.** Which I had not even seen yet when I plotted out this story! ** This tumblr post

Anyway, the fic is James Sirius/Albus Severus, which is likely what you actually wanted to know. Coming soon!
