For the WIP game, I feel like I need to ask about

(amazing titles)

Thank you @thegirlwhowrites642 for the title compliments! 🥹 I like them too!

when the smoke clears

This fic. This fic. I have been struggling with for ages! It's my amnesia!Ginny fic, built on an ask annerb got about gone was any trace of you on what she thought it would be like if Ginny were the one with amnesia. I've been REALLY stuck rewriting the beginning over and over, and I still don't feel like I have it down. It might be time to give up on it... 😭

But here's a snippet I do like:

“She should come home,” Molly insisted. Ginny fought the urge to roll her eyes as they continued to talk about her when she was right there. Harry gave Molly a tight, polite smile, but then looked again at Ginny. There was an intensity behind his gaze that made it hard to look away. “Ginny should decide.” “Harry, you can’t be serious—she’s confused and unwell,” Molly said flushing. “How can she decide when she doesn’t remember anything?” Something on Ginny’s face must have encouraged him because he continued. “What do you want to do?” Harry asked her, still looking straight at Ginny. Arthur placed his hand on Molly’s shoulders again, which seemed to quiet the argument that no doubt was rising. “What are my options?” “You can go with your parents,” he said with a small smile. “Go back to the Burrow.” “You can stay in your old bedroom,” Molly said, the words rushing out as if they simply couldn’t hold themselves back. “I can cook all your favorites and look through photo albums. It might spark something.” “Or?” Ginny asked, her eyes flickering back to Harry, for somehow the others in the room seemed to naturally look to him as the leader despite his age. “Or,” Harry drew out the word slowly. “Or you can go back with me. To our flat.”

Haha somehow you also selected the SECOND amnesia!Ginny story! But very different. In this story, Ginny was taken during DH (uhhh wow I really do have quite a few variations on the same trope), but she’s been gone for several years and everyone suspects the worst. Harry is hardened (this is a Harry who felt his future was stolen from him) and far more vengeful. This isn’t a Harry who gives Voldemort a chance to repent.

During the anniversary of Ginny’s disappearance, there’s a huge raid at a Death Eater hideout. He is out for blood— he gets caught up fighting and chasing one particularly tricky death eater, and all Harry can’t think beyond his wall of rage and then hexes them, catching the death eater mask, which cracks apart. And there, to his shock, is Ginny.

Annnnnd then I still have to figure out the rest! Bahahaha! 😘

Shoot — I have to leave on a second road trip with in laws (thought I’d get a break but Mr. Naru is desperate for a buffer). Thank you all for the asks and your encouragement (it means a lot when I’m in such a writing drought)! I promise I’ll get to the rest of your asks in time!

The more I think about the last minutes the more I’m sure Crowley was saying goodbye from the minute Aziraphale told him he’d said yes to Heaven. He doesn’t confess his love like he’s hopeful, he confesses it like a eulogy. He doesn’t kiss him to make a beginning, he kisses him to seal the end. He watches him go like it’s the last time.

Crowley knows Heaven. He knows they’ll want to either make Aziraphale just like them, or destroy him. Either way I think he believes he’s seen his angel for the last time.

@alienfuckeronmain sent this to me last night and I laughed so hard I hurt myself

George Martin, 2013: "In a very basic level winter is coming for all of us. I think that’s one of the things that art is concerned with: the awareness of our own mortality. “Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things.There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime”. That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night".

JRR Tolkien, 1962 : "One reviewer once said, this is a jolly jolly book, all the right boys come home [...]- this isn't true of course, he can't have read the story. [...] Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (He quotes Simone de Beauvoir) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings".

"Lotr is all rainbows and unicorns and Asoiaf is nihilistic and grimdark". Wrong, and wrong. In all its hope and radiance, lotr often gets very dark, and despite all the death and suffering, the hopeful moments in asoiaf shine bright. The meeting point of these two is this: having hope while in despair, and even better, refusing to give up because you have to go on despite not having any hope left.

Refuge

Danny was not retired, technically he came when people needed him, he helped or protected them as the case may be. It just turned out that over the years they stopped needing him.

And that was fine, it meant humanity could take care of itself, it meant they were safe. That was what had to matter, no matter that deep down, the halfa was hurt by the information.

It was harder to accept change when you weren't part of it. Danny was immortal, eternal, and powerful, things that no longer fit the world. Not with all the heroes and wizards running around, not with Amity Park fading away, becoming nothing more than a part of his memories.

He fit in perfectly in the Realms, sure, but he knew that if he stayed there too long he'd stop feeling human, and that was dangerous.

So, no, Danny wasn't retired. But he lived in a simple house in Metropolis, though sometimes he got tired of Superman being able to hear literally everything and moved to his house in Fawcett. He used to switch between the two houses frequently, not that it was difficult since he had figured out how to make portals.

He had a few friends, like the orphan boy who lived at the train station and Conner, a teenager who sometimes just needed a house to stay in when he couldn't stand his father.

Neither Conner nor Billy minded his age, which was comforting, although they both got curious when he visited the other house. Danny didn't know how to explain that Eternity Rock and Superman made him nervous if he stayed too long (he didn't like feeling watched), so he just shrugged and told them he had two houses.

Neither of the kids understood but they accepted it. They both had a habit of calling him "Uncle", Danny thought it was odd, given that his appearance wasn't exactly...adult, but it seemed they were comfortable with that, and he left them alone.

Apparently his house (occupied or not) had become a haven for them. Danny always greeted them with a sandwich, or cookies, even though he felt like a grandmother doing so. He smiled for the first time in years, feeling happy to fit into someone's life.

That's why it was quite disconcerting to find the Justice League outside his door asking him to join them. Danny chuckled internally, because the current heroes actually believed they could force him into something, but he accompanied them anyway.

Superboy and Captain Marvel scowled at the League as soon as they entered the Watchtower, when they were told they were bringing in a "dangerous individual" they didn't expect to see their unofficial uncle.
