WIP ALERT!!!!

[birdshall]

The Sanatorium for the Chronologically Confused

This is the story of a young man who has composed too many mathematical melodies into a galactic sketchbook, gets lost in time and vanishes from the face of the earth. 

It is also the story of the Whore of Babylon who sells frozen Pizza out of an ancient food truck at the edge of the world. 

By a fortunate and statistically entirely plausible coincidence they meet at the Sanatorium for the Chronologically Confused to talk about stories, technology, history and how to get unstuck in time.

HP FESTS: HP Daddy Knows Best (Part 2)

HP Daddy Knows Best Fest 2024:

Home & Away by EastWindmlk - T, WIP - While attempting to recover her parent's memory, Hermione discovers something that turns her life upside down. She is pregnant. The father? Draco Malfoy. Knowing the pandemonium that awaits at home, she decides to stay and continue her life without magic and the complications of wizarding Britain still reshaping itself and the relentless quill of Rita Skeeter. The only way she sees how is to vanish completely. Which works flawlessly, until fate decided that one Draco Malfoy should stumble onto her path once more.

Your Husband, Draco Malfoy by acapulcogold - E, one-shot - When Hermione wakes up with no recollection of the past few years of her life, it’s up to Draco, her husband, to help fill in the missing pieces. Just not too many. [Warning: Rape/Non-Con]

Happy Birthday, Scorpius by SunnyWhileItRains - E, WIP - Hermione and Draco have been sucessfullly co-parenting their child for 10 years, but what happens when he overhears a conversation he shouldn't have in Hermione's kitchen during their son's birthday party.

Wight, Wine, and White-blonde by ViridianRynn - E, WIP - Hermione's life is in a state of flux: feeling unfulfilled, she's changing careers and swapping her London flat for a cottage in the Codswolds. To celebrate these changes, Hermione takes a week-long vacation on the Isle of Wight. Things take an unexpected turn when she runs into Draco Malfoy and his son on a muggle ferry. When he helps her out of a bind with her itinerary, she finds herself staying in his summer home for the week- his only request being nightly conversation. This isn't the vacation that she expected, but it might just be the vacation she needed...

Your Wife Calls Me Daddy Too by Etoile_Nabeerie - E, one-shot - Hermione Granger only has a few months left to carry the Malfoy heir before their marriage is annulled. No matter how much they try, every month brings forth a new wave of disappointment. After months of potions and heirlooms, Lucius Malfoy decides to step in. Caught between two daddies, she can only hope for one outcome: to keep her family. [Side Pairing: Hermione x Lucius]

i could never define all that you are to me by llcooljones - E, one-shot - They were two sides of the same coin, puzzle pieces that fit only each other. Whoever had written that Greek myth on the origins of humans — four legs, four arms, a head with two faces, a whole, split in half by Zeus, punished, spending the rest of their lives seeking their matching half, a whole — they had written it of Hermione and Draco. OR, Draco comes home from a work trip to find his wife has broken the rules.

We'll Figure It Out by Ohmorefina - M, 2 chapters - Hermione and Draco have entered the battlefield again – only this time, they're on the same side. Their opponents are clever, creative and downright manipulative. They'll have to trust in each other and hope that when logic and reason fail – as it often does where children are concerned – bribery, pleading and empty threats will be enough to aid them as they face the eternal conflict of parenthood. Or A typical Saturday in the Granger-Malfoy household. Or Hermione and Draco are tired but doing their best. Their kids don't give a flying fu–fudge. Life goes on.

Scorpius Malfoy’s Guide to Being a Menace by Jellylegswriter - G, WIP - After a blissful first year of being stay-at-home parents to young Scorpius Malfoy, Hermione Granger has decided to head back to work! Join her husband Draco on his first full day of being a solo stay-at-home dad. Unfortunately for Draco, Scorpius doesn't plan to let him have a peaceful time. Then, a visit to the Grandparents where Narcissa is all too eager to leave Lucius alone with young Scorpius. Essentially just two chapters of Scorpius Malfoy torturing the Malfoy men.

A Very Merry Daddy Knows Best 2024:

Hark! A Herald Angel's Wings by makingTime - M, one-shot - The first time Draco Malfoy picks his son up from the school’s nativity rehearsal, Hermione expects she’s in trouble. She hasn’t seen him in 10 years and clearly, much has changed. Now, they’re both divorced, their five-year-olds are best friends and, though she prides herself on being unflappable, her good sense seems about to fly South for the winter… Back at Malfoy Manor, the Master has brought half the grounds in with him, but with the Christmas party coming, that’s the last of Gammy’s worries. He does wish Master Draco would stop behaving so oddly, but then again, if there was anything Gammy was accustomed to, from his many long years as Personal Elf to the Master of the Malfoy Household–it was oddities…

Bah Humbang by Ohmorefina - E, one-shot - Hermione Granger has become a miser with her time and affection – success her only measure of happiness in the last two decades. But, when a twist of fate gives her the opportunity to see where her life is headed…will she be able to undo the damage before it's too late? A Christmas (New Years) Carol...but make it Malfoy. [Hermione x Lucius/Hermione x Scorpius]

mine by riddikulus_puff - E, one-shot - “You’ll behave for me, won’t you baby?” Draco played with her curls, before roughly grabbing her neck and forcing her attention on him. He stared at her, his eyes darkening in mere seconds as he waited for an answer from his little girl. “Answer me.” “I’ll behave.” Hermione whimpered. “Do you promise me?” He commanded, his grip on her curls tightening.

A Joyous Conspirator by Zeebee3 - E, one-shot - “So this…ensures fealty?” she guessed. “To make sure neither party strays, so that the intended bloodlines merge appropriately?” Malfoy glanced to the side, jaw working again. “Close. But not exactly.” A cursed object that was used during traditional, forced marriages to encourage the production of an heir. Ah. So, something to do with the act directly, rather than simply facilitating the act. A joyous conspirator. And then it clicked. Latin’s version of French’s a little death. “Oh,” she blurted. --- Or, where Professors Draco and Hermione touch a cursed object and trap themselves in a Hogwarts cupboard.

His Mother's Eyes by vannminner - E, one-shot - Draco comes home to discover the women in his life plotting behind his back. Fortunately for him, their schemes work in his favor. 'Tis the season for surprises, after all.

Santa Always Comes by Dizzle00, Sophiesstreet - E, one-shot - “Look at her, Draco. Our witch is looking a bit peckish.” “Do you need us, love?” their blond husband purrs to Hermione, kissing up her neck. “Hungry for more?” “I need both of you,” she whimpers, her petulance from the day before all gone; now she is only sweetness, back on Santa’s nice list--beautiful, golden, and ready to beg. They’ll give her anything she wants. Or In which Draco’s daddy will hear about this, but not the daddy you’d expect. [Draco x Hermione x Blaise]

The Draco Malfoy Affair by Wanderingfair - E, one-shot - She started her day hoping to apprehend a criminal, and now, well now, she’s feeling slightly dumbfounded by the way this tableau of domesticity is affecting her. There is so much she is actively trying to process; she doesn’t realize she’s stepped too far out into the road. She’s nearly in the middle of it, watching Draco Malfoy embrace his son. He puts the boy down, noticing her presence in the street. “Hello, Granger.” All she can say back is, “Hello.” OR Hermione Granger is the Head Unspeakable for the Department of Mysteries. While investigating the disappearance of a priceless artefact she encounters her prime suspect: Draco Malfoy.

The Delivery Clause by ThornedHuntress - E, one-shot - Draco Malfoy needed many things from her. His coffee. The financial reports from Shanghai. A swift kick up the arse—though he hadn’t asked for that one, specifically. But there was one more thing he'd need for Christmas and, god help her, Hermione was going to deliver. ~~~ “Draco.” “What?” he muttered, an intense, distant look of focus on his expression, his hips never ceasing. “If you want to get me pregnant, you are going to have to at least attempt to enjoy this at some point.”

Feels Like Home by charingfae - E, one-shot - When Hermione has nowhere to go for the holidays, her very hot, competent, single employer graciously takes her in. As a nanny, she's used to taking care of people. But when Draco offers to take care of her for a change, she doesn't resist. --- Draco stretched languidly in his chair. “I was a terror of a child, if you can believe it.” She drew her hand to her mouth in a faux gasp. “No!” “You’re not allowed to be cruel to me, it’s Christmas.” “You’d rather I be nice to you? But that’s so boring.” He ran his tongue along his lip, his eyes darkening. “Believe me, it’s not.”

Daddy, Chill by So_scarlett_maroon - E, one-shot - When Draco is forced to spend his Christmas in Russia watching over Hermione and the rest of the International Magical Cooperation Team, he's already annoyed. When he then gets locked on the roof of the Russian Ministry in the bitter cold, he has totally lost his chill. But when Hermione Granger is the one who finds him, his Christmas just might start looking up.

A Dove Coos in the Night by Serpent_Sortia - E, one-shot - His fingers were long, graceful, and elegant, as he reached out to graze lightly up and down her cheek, “You’re not going to be lonely any longer Miss Granger,” his words came out as a soft caress, his touch leaving a trail of fire in its wake as he continued with quiet steel in his tone, “A Malfoy man takes care of what’s his. Tell me, little dove, do you want to be ours?” — When a homesick Hermione Granger reluctantly agrees to attend the Malfoys' inaugural Christmas Eve Ball, she’s expecting awkward small talk and overpriced champagne. Hermione is about to learn that at Malfoy Manor, Christmas isn’t about giving—it’s about taking. And taking turns. [Draco x Hermione x Lucius] [WARNINGS: Rape/Non-Con]

Peas and the Pitfalls of Parenthood by LoreChic - M, one-shot - Amidst the snowy charm of a magical Christmas, Draco and Hermione navigate the chaos of new parenthood with humour, love, and a few sleepless nights. As Hermione battles postpartum struggles, Draco’s unwavering devotion reminds her that even in their messiest moments, their family is pure magic.

The Season of Giving by TheMaryScribbler - E, one-shot - New parents Draco and Hermione escape to a holiday themed live sex show and discover they would rather be onstage than in the audience.

All I want for Christmas is five fucking minutes by malfoyesque - E, one-shot - “Hermione—” he said, breathily. “I thought you said not in the office?” “I said I wouldn’t fuck you in my office.” She tilted her head back, brushing her lips against his to meet him in a soft kiss. “But you may have noticed, we’re actually in yours.” His breath shuddered hard across her lips, his hands falling to the sides of her skirt as he gripped her hard. “Do you mean it?” he whispered, barely-held-back kisses planting across her lips. “Because if you’re teasing me…” Hermione grinned, blushing as she watched him begin to unravel at the idea. “I’m your present, Draco,” she whispered into his lips. “Unwrap me.” --- Under usual dating circumstances, she would have fucked him by now. There are two circumstances getting in the way; one in each of their houses. His son and her daughter. But the office Secret Santa exchange has delivered her an opportunity to change things. And now, Hermione can get Draco what he really wants for Christmas.

Amorvita by Becca_Rae - E, one-shot - Hermione Granger has been Scorpius Malfoy’s tutor for the last year, frequently visiting Malfoy Manor to guide the bright young boy through his studies. On the day of the Malfoy family’s annual holiday party, Hermione plans to leave just as the festivities are about to begin, but Scorpius has other ideas. Determined to convince her to stay, Scorpius enlists his mischievous charm and the help of his Aunt Pansy, culminating in a situation where Hermione somehow ends up perched on Draco Malfoy’s lap.

Frostbitten and Smitten by feistyferret - E, one-shot - Draco fucking hates being cold. ~ • ~ With a grunt, Draco wrapped his arms around himself, tugging his heavy cloak even closer, and muttered as he adjusted his scarf. “Blasted manor… draughty corridors… might as well be living in a damn icebox,” he grumbled, his voice low, laced with irritation. He tightened the thick scarf around his neck, pulling it up to cover his chin, his breath a faint puff of fog against the crisp winter air

This fest is ongoing.

Letters: For My Dad

Letters: For My Dad

Corvallis, Oregon

One year ago today my father passed away. It was sudden. He was 71. There was still a lot of life left in my dad when he died. Today is difficult, and will be even more so for my mother.

I will cry, I am crying now. Yet, what I want to do in this post, is to remember my dad as he lived.

Remember the times that he was there for me. The times that he stood for me, when I…

[Day 10 - Opposite] Artus has taken a looong journey to visit with some far away friends the Kelps, who couldn’t be more different than him... in fact they’re direct opposites: Artus lives and thrives in hot and dry places under the sun, the Kelps are always ‘rolling in the deep’. Much good can take place when we are willing to downplay our differences, and celebrate our common grounds... It certainly takes effort, but the results are often worth it. *Artwork by @synchopat #artusthecactus #artytober #inktober #inktober2020 #time #makingtime #synchopat #memoirsofpapapat #opposite (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGaFejNnmjO/?igshid=loqg5b9c1x6s

Some people are soulful. Some conversations are good for the soul. Yesterday, I got a hit of both. 🙏🏽 For the millionth time, so grateful to @lawabr for following his gut and pulling me into a meeting last minute with @thalygermain at the tail end of 2017. Thaly’s friendship is a gift that keeps on giving. (And I’m not even nodding to the important body of work this amazing human is dedicated to.) Mainly marking the moment as we step into a new year. #gratitude #makingtime #thalyrocks #spaciousconversations (at West Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPAq2DuArq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Christmas Fics (2024) (Part 9):

A Very Merry Proximity by watchyoubreathingout - M, 2 chapters - “I’m going to propose to Theo.” “Oh, Harry! That’s so wonderful. When?” “On the trip. I want to do it with our family there.” In which Hermione and Draco fake date on a couples ski trip

The Road Back Home by Elinie - G, 3 chapters - Malfoy stopped and checked his watch once more. Midnight was just minutes away. "I’ll make it," he thought, closing his eyes and picturing only one thing: her face, glowing with warmth, as he knocked on the door.

Happy Rave-mas, Draco! by AsIfYouCouldOutReadMe - E, 3 chapters - Straight-laced Auror Draco Malfoy only wants three things: his book, his bed, and a cuppa. He saw enough trouble in his early life to last the rest of his days, thank-you-very-much. Approaching thirty, he's resigned to fulfilling his marriage contract with Astoria Greengrass and getting on with the years. Unfortunately, Theodore Nott is much less receptive to Draco's chosen path. Following the Ministry's Christmas party he drags him to Pansy Parkinson's Second Annual Rave-mas, bringing Draco in direct contact with a one Hermione Granger and changing his life forever. -Or- In an effort to “have fun” and “live a little” good boy Draco Malfoy attends his first rave, a rather on-the-nose affair hosted by Pansy Parkinson. The theme is Rave-mas, the booze and drugs are flowing, and the main act of the night is Lioness, Hermione Granger’s nom de guerre. Featuring an awkward, smitten Draco; DJ Hermione; Supportive NottPott; party planner Pansy; drug dealer Neville; scene boy Goyle; Cormac bashing; rave culture; and tiniest bit of Christmas cheer. Inspired by that one night around the holidays in which everyone is in town, so you go out and get a little reckless.

Hark! A Herald Angel's Wings by makingTime - M, one-shot - The first time Draco Malfoy picks his son up from the school’s nativity rehearsal, Hermione expects she’s in trouble. She hasn’t seen him in 10 years and clearly, much has changed. Now, they’re both divorced, their five-year-olds are best friends and, though she prides herself on being unflappable, her good sense seems about to fly South for the winter… Back at Malfoy Manor, the Master has brought half the grounds in with him, but with the Christmas party coming, that’s the last of Gammy’s worries. He does wish Master Draco would stop behaving so oddly, but then again, if there was anything Gammy was accustomed to, from his many long years as Personal Elf to the Master of the Malfoy Household–it was oddities…

A quite Christmas at Grimmauld Place by darkgreenforest03 - G, one-shot - Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy find themselves stranded together at Grimmauld Place over Christmas Eve due to a tactical mishap during an Order mission. Malfoy, who has been reluctantly assisting the Order after defecting from Voldemort, is under constant suspicion. Hermione, exhausted from the war and herding the chaos of her friends, is less than thrilled to be stuck with him.

The Christmas Where Draco Ruined Nothing by Helledore - T, one-shot - Veritaserum spiked mulled wine can lead to one thing only...

Santa Always Comes by Dizzle00, Sophiesstreet - E, one-shot - “Look at her, Draco. Our witch is looking a bit peckish.” “Do you need us, love?” their blond husband purrs to Hermione, kissing up her neck. “Hungry for more?” “I need both of you,” she whimpers, her petulance from the day before all gone; now she is only sweetness, back on Santa’s nice list--beautiful, golden, and ready to beg. They’ll give her anything she wants. Or In which Draco’s daddy will hear about this, but not the daddy you’d expect. [Draco x Hermione x Blaise]

The Delivery Clause by ThornedHuntress - E, one-shot - Draco Malfoy needed many things from her. His coffee. The financial reports from Shanghai. A swift kick up the arse—though he hadn’t asked for that one, specifically. But there was one more thing he'd need for Christmas and, god help her, Hermione was going to deliver. ~~~ “Draco.” “What?” he muttered, an intense, distant look of focus on his expression, his hips never ceasing. “If you want to get me pregnant, you are going to have to at least attempt to enjoy this at some point.”

Workouts for busy lives.

We are all victims of busier lives, what with juggling full time jobs, home, maybe studying or kids and a social life, it’s little wonder we struggle to make time for exercise. 

It doesn't have to be like this though, there are ways of having it all, and finally achieving your fitness goals. 

So how can you do it? 

1. Make your workouts more efficient.

Use HIIT or Tabata training to get through a really effective fat-burning exercise in a short space of time. Combine arms and legs, for example a squat to an overhead press, or a side lunge with a bicep curl. Use big compound movements such as deadlifts in your weight training to use lots of muscles and thereby burn lots of calories. 

2. Workout in the morning.

I totally understand and hear you when you say, you cant get up that early, but try setting that alarm fifteen minutes earlier to start with and do a ten minute bodyweight blast. Not only does working out in the morning eliminate the chance of life getting in the way, it will give you energy for the rest of the day, and you’ll feel great sat at your desk knowing your workout is done for the day. 

3. Workout on a Sunday to jumpstart your week. 

I always used to do my long run on a Sunday, why because it meant I had done my hardest workout before the week had even started. It really gets you off to a great start knowing that a hard workout is already done. 

4.Make fitness a lifestyle change and not a chore. 

If you embrace and find something you enjoy doing, you are sure to succeed, if its a part of your life rather than something you have to do, you’ll be more likely to be consistent and therefore more likely to achieve your goals. 

How to fit it in? 

1. Join a 24hour gym so you can train whenever suits you. 

2. Leave your gym kit in the car, by the door or in your office, whatever works for you. 

3. Try to schedule at least one workout a week in your diary or calendar app. 

4. Make it a social thing and train with your other half (couples that train together, stay together) 

5. Get a personal trainer to help keep you accountable. 

So that's how you can start to fit a workout in, to finish off I've created a ten minute wake up workout and a twenty minute lunch break workout, let me know how you get on with them? 

Wake up Workout 

Jumping Jacks

Air Squats

Side Lunges

Push ups 

Plank

Perform each exercise for 45 seconds, rest for 15 seconds, before moving on to the next exercise. Once you have completed each exercise rest for 1 minute then go through the circuit again. 

20 minute lunch break gym blast

High Knees

Squat

Single leg squat

Skaters

Push ups

Mountain Climbers

Tricep Dip

Bicycle Crunches

Plank 

Perform each exercise for 45 seconds, rest for 15 seconds, before moving on to the next exercise. Once you have completed each exercise rest for 1 minute then go through the circuit again.
