my dear friend who has only seen the movies read the first chapter of my fic falling from dusk into dawn and was a wee bit confused.

note that oliver is a minor character scarcely in the movies.

highlights include:

- thinking oliver was irish

- wanting to do a podfic for me, tested out her scottish accent, it needs work

- legitimately thought percy was the weasley that married fleur for a good chunk. I asked her: 'do you think oliver was pining after a married man'? she did. she knows percy is my favourite character. blasphemy.

- actually given that percy and fleur are close in age that would be a hilarious misunderstanding, someone please write

- my friend now knows the highly important piece of trivia that fleur delacour married BILL weasley, not percy, a misunderstanding I never thought I would have to correct

comedy gold.

I wrote a 26k fic working through oliver's war trauma BUT I gave him a boyfriend so it all evens out, right?

percy's autistic moments in falling from dusk into dawn: a compilation

It's not outright stated in the fic because as a wizard in the 90s who grew up isolated from the muggle world, Percy would have lacked the vocabulary to describe himself. Anyway.

And this is all through the lens of Oliver, Percy's best friend who is intimately attuned to Percy:

Not that they do not cuddle. But Oliver is the one who craves it. Percy offers physical affection once every blue moon, only giving it on request tentatively, lovingly, and wonderfully. But he still has his limits, so his cuddles are not indefinite.

“Thanks for arranging this, Penelope,” Percy says, politely. Some people may call Percy overly formal , but Oliver rather likes to think that Percy’s courteous nature is sweet and endearing

“Thanks,” Oliver whispers, because he doesn’t feel like contributing to the din right now, taking a Mars Bar as he keeps an eye on Percy

Percy looks fine, so far, but well. Oliver worries. Percy and loud noises don’t mix, exactly, and if things are too loud, then Percy will get so stressed he won’t be able to enjoy the movie, and that would be bad.

falling from dusk into dawn | harry potter | perciver | mutual pining | best friends to lovers | oliver wood character study | ewe | rated: t | part 1/3 | 10.2k

Oliver’s just tired. Tired of still being constantly alert now that everything has gone still. Tired of everything still feeling fundamentally wrong, when it shouldn’t - not really, now that their world is at peace. But Oliver has never followed the rules.

Percy sighs fondly, wearily, as the night breeze ruffles his copper curls, and Oliver tries not to stare, and want. He fails miserably.

.

The war may have ended, but Oliver Wood cannot escape its shadow. The world is broken, he doesn't know if he wants to return to professional Quidditch now - if ever - and he is still hopelessly and secretly in love with his best friend Percy Weasley.

Or: Oliver Wood has a million existential crises and pines for Percy Weasley. It all works out, somehow.

For @sugareey-makes-stuff as their gift for winning my @fandomtrumpshate auction this year, with the remainder of the fic coming within the next week.

falling from dusk into dawn part three: COMEDY EDITION?

honestly the last chapter of falling from dusk into dawn is lowkey comedic?

“But why do you need her when you have me? I can summarise the Nazis for you briefly, Perce: bad. Evil. Do not restart.”

He spreads his arms out in an exaggerated manner, soap suds sliding down his arms.

.

A towel is whacked non so gently across his legs. "Shower in ten, or we're watching some As Times Go By."

.

He ran himself ragged... then  helping rearrange the furniture in Penelope and Lakshmi’s flat as their token jock friend

Thinking of questions is difficult but i'll try

have you ever had a percy(or even not percy) fanfic idea that you love alot but for the life of you just can't write it?

not that I can think of, no, there is no story that I have thought of and haven't been able to write down. I have thought of so many stories to tell that I haven't written, but that's mainly the nature of writing and my time scarcity, not a lack of capacity.

my main issue is not starting to write fanfic, it is finishing it. I have a handful of percy wips I would love to finish - a story exploring his sexuality, my remus outsider pov perciver fic, my cedric & percy fic, my hbp ron & percy canon divergence idea - but gosh, I'm scarce on time, and I have my FTH fics to prioritise (neither which are percy this year - one is shadowhunters and the other is marauders, but I'm excited to start writing them)! there are a lot of stories in the in defence of percy weasley series I would like to write, some more for the YearoftheOTP event - but, alas, time. I'm not a slow writer, I just don't write frequently.

I am still amazed that I finished writing and published a study of cracked gold (my percy & ginny post-war fic) and falling from dusk into dawn (perciver getting together post-war fic), although to be fair ffdid was my FTH gift last year for @sugareey-makes-stuff so there was a deadline [which I lowkey need tbh], which were 18k and 26k, respectively. that's a lot! my most 'I need to FINISH this goddamit' fic is my 42k WWII malec au I started in 2018.

so in short: no, it's getting the stories done that's the issue, not scribbling them down. ffdid is probably the closest - it was a difficult story for me to write, not the least because it wouldn't stop growing (it initially was going to be 10k at max), because it was a character study without much plot aside, focused on a character I hadn't explored in much depth before, but it was a good challenge.

have a question for me? I'm currently taking asks about percy weasley and my writing in celebration of reaching 300 followers!

[mirrorofliterature]

the secret reason why I kept fred alive in ffdid is about to be revealed -

the oliver vs the twins arc was integral to the story and it wasn’t in oliver’s character to yell at a recently bereaved george.

oliver & harry: a missed opportunity

I just think oliver mentoring harry is something that we missed out BIG TIME and it makes so much sense? like I just want to read oliver mentoring harry very messily? oliver lowkey adopting harry? anyway.

.

so without further ado, here is oliver going BIG BROTHER mode on harry in my latest fic, falling from dusk into dawn 

(because I said so)

(and I crave validation and all that, yada yada)

.

He is barely an adult who has already gone through too much, but Oliver still wants to protect him. Maybe it is a side effect of being an older brother that he has an unending urge to take Harry under his wing. To shield him from the press, from their scornful world. Harry is someone who deserves to spend the rest of his life flying, never having to deal with the world’s demands again.

.

Oliver wonders if that is what the wizarding world did with Harry Potter, in a twisted sort of way. Glorified and harassed and bullied a literal child, too blinded by their entitlement to realise that Harry was not and is not responsible for their nation’s failings.

Growing up enmeshed in a family which was an unapologetic mix of magical and non-magical, growing up as the kid a little bit too much , he never was that concerned with what society thought. He never saw Harry that way. Harry was his seeker, an excellent one at that. Contrary to popular belief, he never viewed Harry as disposable, or his safety as irrelevant. He was simply clumsy with words, hyperfocused on Quidditch, and hampered by millions of plots trying to kill a tween, which was always very inconvenient for his Quidditch dreams.

.

Katie nods, and they share a commiserating look: fuck the Daily Prophet. Oliver still hasn’t forgiven the rag for slandering Harry.

sirius black being chaotic in ffdid so far

“Anyway. It’s an uphill battle, but Sirius is proving quite an effective ally as he has all the money in the world. Bonus points for skillfully leveraging all of the old Ministry guard's guilt for throwing an innocent man into Azkaban as an unnecessary scapegoat.” Percy grins, but there is nothing kind about it. Instead, it is fierce, deadly almost. Oliver finds it impossibly attractive. “I have a meeting with him tomorrow and the Auror department, which is sure to be a riot.”

.

and there is a conversation between oliver and sirius in the final part [because what else do we need? also cat adoption! sirius is betrayed]

oliver wood is obsessed with percy weasley

like, this is a fundamental element of perciver for me, that oliver adores and loves percy unconditionally.

[mirrorofliterature]

I just. percy weasley is autistic. it is so integral to his character but it was written in accidentally, because the author doesn’t see autistic people as humans who know their own mind. but he is. and it explains so much.

do I think it was intentional? of course not, and she doesn’t even have the excuse of section 28 when it comes to her lacklustre portrayal of neurodivergence. but she drew from common reasons people don’t like someone - drawn from autistic characteristics.

he’s overly formal? he doesn’t like physical affection? he has laser interest? he doesn’t understand sarcasm?

percy weasley is autistic

[mirrorofliterature]

like.... I don’t know how to express how writing falling from dusk into dawn made me fall in love with oliver wood. you spend 26k in the mind of a man and you kind of learn to love him, and you have a deeply fleshed out characterisation of him, and you’re just. proud.

but also. sorry for all the trauma oliver. I mean, I did give you a boyfriend too so yay?

[mirrorofliterature]

me: I am a very serious writer

also me: James: bro you gotta fix stuff with your other bro it’s just how bromances work BRO.

oliver wood & magical prowess

I’m writing oliver as a wizard who isn’t like... a prodigy, but who is quietly magically understated. I’ve written him as kind of just thoughtlessly using magic silently and wandlessly to perform basic household tasks like turning on lights and the kettle, and being really good at protective and defensive magic - I mean, we know he fought at the battle and survived, so he’s definitely no slouch.

also, oliver wood, the ultimate protective guy, being very proficient at protective magic? my beloved
