i know we talk a lot about the “why do you hate you” “i don’t” ronan lynch moment (as we should). but i don’t think we talk Enough about the “he thought about it” that comes before he answers the question and wakes up. because good god. it’s the whole self hatred being this second skin, this thing you don’t even notice is there, until you’re confronted by it thing. and something about the eventual examination of that self hatred and realizing that actually that second skin, that hurt, isn’t relevant anymore — that actually, finally, you understand yourself a little better and are ready to be kinder to yourself.
ronan lynch,
here’s to waking up.

Marlene: girl you should buy one of those Pandora bracelets so we can have matching ones
Lily: Pandora makes bracelets?
Marlene: not that Pandora I meant the jewelry brand
Lily: ah okay
*one minute later*
Lily: girl what the fuck I googled it and it costs 225€
Marlene: with or without the charms?
Lily: I don’t care about charms, if it costs that much it better be charmed by Cinderella’s fairy godmother herself or some shit

hi i saw someone say that lily wouldn’t go out with james if he kept hexing snape that’s why he had to do it behind her back and i don’t think it’s true you’re my source for canon marauders stuff, so i ask you is it true?
My opinion is that she would have stayed with him had she found out lol.
I think she would be angry about it, definitely, but honestly knowing both James and Snape it's not exactly surprising that they'd be fighting during 7th year. They hated each other and had a very antagonistic relationship marked by violence. Lily knew both Sev and James very well: she knew first-hand that Sev had a vengeful streak that could turn violent and that he had more reason than ever to hate James, she knew James was prone to solving problems by duelling and that he didn't take insults or provocation lying down. Tbh if I was her I would be upset to find out they'd been fighting, but not surprised.
What I believe she wouldn't have tolerated, at all, are public humiliations like in SWM. Clearly this wasn't happening, because she'd have known about it. Remus saying that Sev "never lost an opportunity to curse James" fully tracks with Sev's character in my opinion. And good for him I say but my point is I think these were spontaneous brawls, rather than James tracking poor harmless cowering Sev down to hex him and keeping that from Lily as it's sometimes made out to be. I rly dislike that characterisation of 7th year Sev but anyway.
I dont mean James wasn't in the wrong, or that their past dynamic wasn't still a factor, but I see them both as instigators during this period. Tbh I wouldn't fault Sev for being the more aggressive of the two either haha, that's how I see him personally during 7th yr. Wreak your revenge me aul son! By that point their relationship was too damaged for them to do anything but fight each other. Obv James is originally to blame for this in the first place, but by 7th year they're essentially trapped in a cycle of violence. I honestly wouldn't expect either one to be "the bigger person" and walk away- that isn't in their natures.
So while imo Lily would be disapproving about them fighting, I honestly think she could have reasonably suspected that they were anyway. She knew who she was dating and she knew Sev. It's also possible she would just turn a blind eye to it, or (more likely) express disapproval but ultimately tolerate it, this is something Lily was guilty of in the past with Sev. To me it seems inevitable AND understandable that James and Sev, given their characters, would react aggressively to one another pretty much on sight. And I love that for them ❤️

2900 Words; post-canon
Secret Santa post for @spiirals! A little oneshot featuring the Aquatos (+ Ford and Gisu) on a snowy winter day!
AO3 ver
“Hey, Pooter!”
Raz turned at the sound of Frazie’s voice—only to immediately get a snowball to the face. It wasn’t a very tightly-packed snowball, bursting into cold and wet on impact without really pushing Raz back—he was more shocked than hurt.
“Pleh!” Raz spat out cold water. He rubbed at his face trying to get rid of the rest of the snow, sticking his tongue out at his sister. “What was that for?”
Frazie chuckled, another snowball already in hand. “Your head’s so big I thought it was a target.” She teased.
“You called my name to make me face you, though.” Raz pointed out. He shrugged—it didn’t really matter. Frazie did this every year—or all the time, if Raz counted pinecones and rocks alongside snowballs. “Have you gotten Dion yet?”
Frazie’s grin told Raz all he needed to know. The thrum of satisfaction in her head only further confirmed Raz’ suspicions.
“And I’ll get him again!” Frazie boasted, tossing her snowball up into the air. She flipped over into a handstand, catching and balancing her ammo on her foot.
Raz snorted. His boots crunched in the snow as he turned to continue on towards the camp proper. “Good luck!”
“Like I’ll need it.” Frazie scoffed, kicking the snowball from foot to foot. “You joining us for dinner tonight?”
Raz nodded. “Yeah, I was just heading over to let Mom know.” He started to continue along towards camp—
A snowball nailed him directly in the back. Raz stumbled forwards a bit to the sound of Frazie’s laughter—but, even as he regained his footing and turned back to shoot her a glare, Raz couldn’t help but chuckle. He should have seen that one coming, honestly. “Good shot!” He complimented honestly, then started flipping forwards to get out of his sister’s range quicker.
Frazie’s laughter rang in his ears the whole way to camp. She had still been balancing on a gloved hand when she had launched that snowball—either she kicked it or launched it with telekinesis. Raz had a strong suspicion that it was the latter—it was good to see her getting more comfortable with her powers. Even if they were only further fueling her usual antics.
Raz stepped under the string of fairy lights marking the edge of his family’s camp—
“Razrazrazraz!” Mirtala came up from seemingly out of nowhere, bells jingling as she barreled into Raz. “Look look look!” She angled her braid hoops towards him the moment they separated, shaking her head slightly to show off the glittery blue-and-silver ribbons threaded through them. “Aren’t they pretty?” She bounced on the balls of her feet, the thick winter coat she was bundled up in doing nothing to slow her movements. “Mom helped me put them in!”
Raz grinned. “They suit you well!” He complimented. And really, the glitter did suit Mirtala well—the shimmer combined with the jingle of Mirtala’s bells was almost soothing in how nice it felt to Raz’ senses. It only served to make Raz all the more excited to give Mirtala her gift—though that day wasn’t for another week and a half.
Mirtala beamed. She looked at Raz, now that the excitement of showing off her new ribbons no longer had her full attention. “Did Frazie get you on the way in?” She asked, noticing the snow still clinging to Raz’ scarf.
“Yeah.” Raz admitted, making his way towards the caravan. Mirtala kept pace with him, her bells jingling as she walked. “Has she gotten Mom and Dad yet?” While Frazie mostly stuck to her siblings—Dion and Raz in particular—during the warmer months, nobody was safe from her when there was snow on the ground. Well, nobody but Nona, who had recently rediscovered a trick to turn snow into water—and wasted no time in using it this year, even if it was just to remove snow from her clothes. Even Queepie and Mirtala sometimes got hit by the lighter, less dense snowballs when Frazie was really getting into the spirit of winter.
Mirtala nodded. “Dad shook a branch with his mind to get her back,” She informed him, “But I think Mom’s still waiting for the right moment.”
Raz grinned—oh, he wished he’d thought of dumping a whole branch’s worth of snow on Frazie. Maybe that was something he could try on Dion…
“Pootie!” And there Donatella was, coming out of the caravan with her cloak drawn tight around her shoulders. “Are you staying for dinner tonight?”
Raz nodded. “Will we be eating at the Gulch?” It wasn’t uncommon; though the Gulch was Lucrecia and the Psychic Seven’s space first and foremost, Nona was still an Aquato—and it was easier on her old bones for the family to visit her.
Donatella hummed. “She said she’d be joining us tonight.” Her lips pressed into a frown, “Though that does mean Cruller will also be there…” It did make sense—with Ford’s ability to teleport, Nona wouldn’t have to make the journey to and from the camp. But, despite the months since the summer, the family as a whole still didn’t regard Ford super high. Raz felt better about the old man than he had immediately after that week—but his feelings were definitely still mixed.
“But I suppose it is on theme,” Donatella mused, “Since Dion will be bringing along Gisu.” She turned to Raz, her eyes twinkling. “I don’t suppose you could invite Lili? Your little girlfriend is always a delight.”
Raz flushed. “Well—maybe.” He managed, trying desperately to not remember the first time Lili had joined the Aquatos for dinner. Nothing had gone too spectacularly wrong—but Raz wasn’t sure he would ever live down the embarrassment of his mom practically drilling Lili to decide if she was “good enough” by her standards. As though Lili could ever be anything less than one of Raz’ favorite people in the whole world. “I’d have to ask her, though.”
Not that that was hard—a quick mental nudge was all it took to deliver the question. Lili’s response was just as easily made—a wave of mild apology and prior obligation crawled up their link like vines up a trellis. Raz sent back a pulse of understanding, and a reminding curl of fondness that she was pretty much always invited over.
Lili’s response was a fiery of course—she knew how Donatella and Augustus thought of her.
“She can’t make it tonight,” Raz reported. Donatella frowned, and shrugged her shoulders.
Raz’ mind took that moment to catch up with everything his mother had said. “Wait, Gisu’s coming? She didn’t tell me that.” Then again, she had been more busy lately—they’d only had enough time to exchange good mornings before Gisu had headed off to Otto’s lab. But Gisu was cool, and fun, and if she was coming—
Raz made a face. Oh, Dion was going to be obnoxious.
“Pootie,” Donatella chided, correctly intuiting Raz’ thoughts without any psychic power at all, “Don’t be like that. If Dion wants to invite his girlfriend to dinner, that’s his choice.” She briefly made a face, “Though I suppose I should probably remind him not to be gross at the dinner table…”  She trailed off, and Raz took that as a signal the conversation was over.
He turned towards Mirtala, who had wandered off to do handstands by her tent, gloves crunching in the snow and bells jingling. He watched as she did a flip, then another.
Raz turned. He looked around the camp, but couldn’t see Queepie anywhere—Raz guessed Queepie was still in the K.L.O.B. treehouse with Morris, then. Since it was still a while yet before dinner—Raz had headed out pretty much immediately after lunch at the Noodle Bowl, and the Ottobon tubes were fast—Raz wasn’t particularly worried. Queepie would either turn up for dinner on his own, or Morris would prod him to get home the moment it started getting dark.
With that in mind, Raz turned to go look for Augustus. He really wanted to hear about the tree branch trick.
He didn’t have to look for long—he was halfway to the funicular when his father called out.
“Razputin!” Augustus’ voice was warm, his arm wrapped around a thick bundle of sticks on his shoulder. “Come to help your old man with the firewood?”
“Sure!” Raz darted over, looking for logs to grab with his telekinesis. “Bet I can lift more with my mind than you.” He dared.
Augustus laughed. “I don’t doubt that, my boy.” He nodded towards the trees to his left. “There’s still some more good wood over there, if you want to help.”
“Okay.” Raz nodded, heading over to where his father indicated. He started lifting sticks and small branches—first with his arms, then with his mind—and carried them back over to Augustus.
They headed back to camp together. “Will you be joining us for dinner?” Augustus asked.
“Yep!” Raz responded. “I asked Lili, but she can’t come tonight.” He added.
“That’s a shame.” Augustus remarked. “Gruloky is more fun with more players.” He stroked his beard with his free hand. “Well, I assume you’ve told her that she’s always welcome to join us if she wants.”
Raz nodded. “Yeah.” Twirling some of his telekinesis-held sticks a bit, he switched topics. “Frazie’s already taking advantage of all the snow.” He commented, “She got me in the face and back on my way in.”
Augustus chuckled. “Yes, she’s up to her usual antics—your mother and I found out this morning.” His eyes twinkled, “But this old man’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve.”
“Yeah! Mirtala said you dumped a whole bunch of snow on her! With your telekinesis!” It was good, Raz felt, that his family was getting more comfortable with psychic powers. Excitement thrummed in Raz’ chest, matched by the jovial mischief humming at the edge of his father’s mind.
“Oh, I don’t doubt she’ll get me back.” Augustus responded. “But I suppose it’s just that time of year again.”
They walked under the string of fairy lights, setting what they had gathered with the rest of the firewood. Augustus moved to start setting up the firepit, only to stop. “I forgot the matches,” He said, standing back and aiming a hand at the firepit. A look of concentration crossed his face, and flames burst into life around the wood. The immediate area around the pit was already snow-free, but Raz had to clear the logs and stumps circling around of snow before he could sit on them. Not that that was really all that hard.
Donatella came over, pressing a kiss to Augustus’ cheek. “Mio caro, can you help me find my blue eyeshadow? I couldn’t find it this morning.”
Augustus grinned, pressing a kiss of his own to Donatella’s cheek. “Of course, дорогая.” With that, the two of them went back over to the caravan, leaving Raz at the fire.
“Ewwww.” Mirtala hopped up onto the log, right next to Raz. “Is Deedee going to be like that with Gisu?” She asked.
Raz made a face. “Oh, I hope not.” If Dion and Gisu decided to get all sappy and gross and kissy, Raz would lose his appetite. “I bet Frazie’ll dunk him in a snow drift if he does.”
Mirtala giggled. She hopped off the log, bells jingling. “Gimme a bouncy ball, I wanna do some flips!”
“It’s called a levball.” Raz corrected, forming one anyway. Mirtala cheered and hopped atop it, flipping over onto her hands and rolling it around.
“But it’s so bouncy!” She riposted, launching herself into the air.
The rest of the evening continued like that, Raz and Mirtala entertaining themselves by the fire. It wasn’t long before Augustus and Donatella returned, sitting together by the fire and talking in low tones. No, wait—flirting in low tones, gross.
Ford and Nona showed up just as the sky was beginning to pinken, and Queepie trudged into camp not long after. With all the layers he was bundled up in, Queepie had to sort of waddle through the snow, and any impediment to his movement always made him grumpy. But Raz could remember when he was the one being bundled up like that—it was as much of a yearly tradition to wrap the babies in as many layers as possible as it was for Frazie to nail everyone with snowballs.
Gisu turned up, and Donatella was quick to greet her warmly and recruit her into setting up the table. The caravan wasn’t up for family dinners—but they had a large tent meant for exactly that. Everyone not setting up the table or still out and about was gathered around the fire, though, enjoying the warmth of it.
Dion trudged into camp not long after a snickering Frazie, snow in his hair and on his shoulders. Mirtala giggled, and Dion’s shoulders hunched. “Not a word.” He growled, already making for his tent.
Too late—Gisu and Donatella had returned, and Gisu was already giggling. Dion squeaked, and hurried over to his tent before anyone could say anything else.
“You got him good, huh?” Gisu asked, sitting down right next to Frazie. She held her gloved hands out towards the fire.
Frazie grinned. “Of course.” She boasted good-naturedly. “He makes it too easy! But enough about my brother,” She focused in on Gisu, “You and I haven’t had a Girls Night in forever.”
“Well, I’ve been busy,” Gisu shrugged. “But I’ve got some free time tomorrow, and I was hoping to get some levboarding in.” She offered.
“Oh, I’m there.” Frazie decided. “Dee’ll be helping Mom with groceries tomorrow, but I’m free all day.”
“See you then!” Gisu beamed.
Dion chose that moment to reemerge from his tent, hair fixed and snow-free. Raz lost the thread of the conversation at that point—Lili started nudging him through their link, and dragged Raz into a mental conversation about whether a blindfolded Sasha could beat a team of future-seeing laser sharks.
The evening continued on, and Dion left for the caravan with Donatella to handle the cooking. The fire was dying down, now, and instead of feeding it more wood Augustus moved to put it out. At that, everyone started making their way inside the tent, where a space heater kept the dining room comfortably warm.
It looked like Nona wasn’t up for cooking tonight—she followed Ford inside, finding a cozy spot near the space heater to pull out her knitting needles and current project. Queepie waddled over to her, taking advantage of the space heater to escape his coat prison.
Frazie and Gisu continued to chatter at the table, while Augustus and Mirtala joining in so often. Raz also piped up, though he and Lili were still working through their own conversation. The whole tent was alive with conversation and warmth—it was a familiar sight, to Raz, even after having his whole life turned upside down over the summer. Some things just didn’t change, it seemed.
At some point, Raz lost sight of Ford. He looked around—the old man was nowhere to be seen. Nona’s needles continued clacking away, and Mirtala had joined Queepie in sitting near her.
Raz was just wondering if he should go looking for Ford when Dion’s voice rang out from the caravan.
“Don’t think I don’t see you slinking around!” A dull thunk sounded out, and Ford appeared next to Raz with the shimmer of teleportation, rubbing his hand and muttering.
Nona cackled. Ford shrank a little further, and Raz couldn’t help but chuckle. Dion had never really gotten along with Ford—but could manage a grudging politeness when he had to. Apparently, politeness went out the window when cooking was involved.
Gisu snorted. “No luck, huh?” Frazie snickered.
Ford grumbled, but otherwise didn’t respond. Instead he made his way over to Nona, sitting next to her as the two began talking quietly.
Ford hadn’t picked an awful time to try snagging a bite of food early—it wasn’t much longer before the table was fully set and everyone was seated. Raz had ended up in between Gisu and Queepie, with Dion on Gisu’s other side. Frazie had been seated between Queepie and Mirtala, who was shooting dirty looks to Ford directly next to her. With Donatella next to Dion and Augustus, and Augustus next to Nona, there were no particularly pressing complaints about the arrangement.
The table was alive with conversation during the meal, and there was a stack of cards already waiting for post-dinner Gruloky. The tent itself was aglow with fairy lights and the space heater, warm with lively conversation and a filling meal. It was so familiar to Raz, a sight he had seen and a feeling he had experienced so many times before—but it was different, too. Gisu and Ford were the most obvious example, but—
Raz’ chest felt light. Warm. Lili had receded a bit, to pay more attention to her own dinner, but Raz could still feel her at the other end of their connection if he tried. Augustus was trying to control his fork and knife telekinetically, and Gisu was challenging Frazie to a snowball fight for tomorrow. There was none of the tenseness there used to be when psychics came up, with even Donatella’s protests about Augustus’ behavior being lighthearted—
Raz swallowed, his eyes stinging. His chest tightened, then relaxed. It was warm, and his family was alive and happy around him—alive and happy with him.
Raz couldn’t wish for anything more.

NO BC THAT IDEA IS SO ??!,!!,£,&;&2!/!-!&:&@/!/!!
imagine if it happened just before everything that occurred in the luofu, with you being dispatched on an expedition only for your team to never return. the majority thought you were all dead, but dan heng held out hope, refusing to believe the notion that you were gone forever.
skip to after the incident and he’s on the run, appearance changed and memories slightly altered. he may be running from his past, but the ghost of you is something he will desperately cling to, unyielding in his hold as you burn bright in his memories.
and then he’s on what is called the astral express. he thought he would flee from them just as he had with the others, but he stayed — as if waiting for something or someone who is bound to arrive. good or bad, he does not know.
but then his answer arrives in the form of a familiar aura, a familiar scent, a familiar set of features, a familar voice, and a familiar lilt when you call out his name — his real name — when he comes out to give the new member a belated greeting. you haven’t changed; not physically, and not in the way you gaze at him, eyes tender with affection and shining with unshed tears.
you, you, you. you are all that consumes him and all that he consumes when he surges forward, cutting off your words as he pulls you into a desperate embrace, burying his face into the crook of your neck to hide his expression and chants your name like mantra into your skin.
dan heng always held out hope you hadn’t died that day — your warm embrace and teary laughter is proof of it.

"You aren't a superman, Remus. One person can't possibly carry all that." Lily's voice was soothing as her hand slowly carded through his hair.
She pulled Remus into her chest, pressed her cheek to the side of Remus' head because she knew he couldn't meet his eyes. He was embarrassed. And he felt he was wronging his friend by laying this on her, but Sirius' coldness, the suspicion driving a rift between them was— too much to bear. On top of the war.
"If it's hurting you this much, Remus..."
Remus could hear the frown in her murmur. He knew what she was going to say, and he hated it.
"Sometimes the courage is in letting go."

Probably unpopular opinion but… James would have been a better parent than Lily, and probably would have been the one to adjust to parenthood the easiest.
oooooh, controversial, anon
i feel like my answer to this would be equally unpopular but i agree with you
and the thing is, there's no specific reason for it, either. absolutely no basis in canon (where we see examples of lily's parenthood, not james) but i just--am really biased towards my boy ykno?
in addition to viewing james as nurturing/like a caretaker, i also feel like lily was the more selfish of the two. and more independent as well. so she would take time to adjust to this entire human depending on her whereas james is a fkn sponge--he'll love having harry attached to him at all times. he was also a lonely child who adored his parents and wanted something similar to that whereas lily's family situation was, well. ykno.
so yeah, i dont know if i'd call it a better parent, exactly (james was almost def the more indulgent of the two, and would always put harry's happiness over everything, even if it could be detrimental so he had his faults) but i do think he was a natural parent and it came harder to lily.
