Fanfiction Q&A

Tagged by @thepagemistress thanks so much for the tag!! I love stuff like this asdfghjkl

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

311,091

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly Supernatural because it's my most recent fandom and I have extreme destiel related brainworms - but I do also still write Izuocha/My Hero Academia stories from time to time. I've officially 'left the fandom' but I find the ship cosy to write, so they're easy to come back to every so often. I would really like to get back into writing for Genshin too at some point! There are so many characters and their personalities are all so barely defined that it's a lot of fun to shake the grab bag of them and play around with ships and tropes.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ahh they're all MHA. I wrote them at kind of the emergence of the MHA fic scene though. So it was just good timing. It's crazy that they've remained my most popular fics even this many years later wow.

Also fun fact, the two ships here had fandoms that actively hated each other because Ochako is in both of them. I was living my best multi shipping life.

Also also, the jump in number between #1 and #2 is wild. BBB is a fandom experience I will treasure forever.

#1 Beep Beep Beep - Izuocha / My Hero Academia - 2,245

#2 Saw This. Thought of You - Izuocha / My Hero Academia - 787

#3 Ceiling Scorch Marks - Kacchako / My Hero Academia - 675

#4 Green's Your Colour - Izuocha / My Hero Academia - 582

#5 Sweaty Palms - Kacchako / My Hero Academia - 544

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Heck yeah!! It may take me anywhere between a day and a month, but I will always reply at some point. I like to repay the kindness of leaving a comment with acknowledgement <3 even if all I can manage back is a keyboard smash and a thank you

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oh, easily easily Don't Stop Dreaming (Izuocha/MHA) I cackle like a classic disney villain every time someone leaves a comment about how they didn't notice the main character death tag and the ending broke them. Did I put it in the middle of the tags simply to make missing it easier? maybe so.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Okay this one is hard. Because 99% of my fics are fluff. They pretty much all have a happy ending lmaoooo

The cheesiest happy ending might have to go to Cat Thief (Reddie/IT) though - that whole fic I tried to capture the vibe of a cheesy Hallmark movie and then for the ending I really dialled it up to ten. Cavity inducing honestly aaa

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I don't think so??? I've had the odd piece of criticism here and there, which makes me like >:( because I didn't ask for crit and I'm doing all this for freeeee

But otherwise, nope <3

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not anything I've ever published (because it's not very good asdfghjkl) It's honestly very vanilla and mostly about the ooey gooey feelings more than the smut itself, so I don't know whether it would really appeal?

Either way any smut I ever decide to post on AO3 would have to be anonymously. Too many people I know in real life know my Izupie username and just the thought of one of them googling me one day and finding my AO3 is bad enough even without any smut fics being on there RIP

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Hmm, not really crossovers? I write AU's of other worlds - like, I wouldn't write the cast of IT meeting the characters of Soul Eater, but I wrote the characters of IT in the world of Soul Eater. Does that make sense??

Two birds with stone because Dances of the Souls (Reddie/IT/Soul Eater) is also the craziest 'crossover' I've ever written. I saw some fanart and got inspired, and to this day I can't believe I wrote like 10k words of that.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I did !! Many manyyy years ago. Someone sent me a message to say that they'd noticed somebody had reposted one of my fics but just changed the characters. Can't even remember what fandom they'd made it for.... They'd stolen a whole bunch of Izuocha fics and just changed the names! So a few affected Izuocha writers including myself sent them messages asking them to take the stolen fics down and within a few hours their whole profile had been deleted.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No!! But I would LOVE that !! Anyone who ever wants to translate any of my fics, please know the answer will be yes!!

13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I'm the process of that actually with Seal My Heart (Izuocha/MHA)!! It's been such a fun process but I feel so bad because I'm really bad at procrastinating and getting distracted by working on multiple things at once and I don't have a whole lot of free time, so I am probably the worst collab partner you could have!!! (sorry!!!!)

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I usually change this answer based on my current fandom tbh! Right now I can't imagine any ship affecting my brain in quite the same way as Destiel.

I think it's the ALMOST of it that has given me infinite brainworms and hurts my soul. And they have just the most delicious dynamic. They're best friends. They're fighting. They're soft. They're gonna burn the whole world for each other. They're wearing silly cowboy hats. etc etc

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

I wish I had it in me to write part 2 of Barks (Reddie/IT). I had this whole extra plot with all these conspiracies and saving the town and ultimately wanted to end it with Eddie getting turned into a werewolf too, but it had already gone on to nearly 100k words and I just wanted to write other things asdfkl

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hmm.... I would say maybe the way that I create a mood? I like to really appeal to all the senses when I write to kind of make you feel like you're there in the scene. Changing my writing style to add to the atmosphere is also something I think I do quite well? Like short choppy sentences for tension etc etc.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue. Dialogue all day. If everyone could just, not speak? That would be great. I really struggle to capture characters specific voices.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic.

I can't say I've ever given it much thought... I think it would be okay as long as you're VERY sure that it's correct.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Ahh that would be my Yu-Gi-Oh self insert fanfiction all hand written in a little notebook that I wrote as a child :') I wrote me and a friend into so many adventures with the Yu-Gi-Oh characters. It's extremely cute.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Beep Beep Beep without a doubt. I had so so so much fun with it. I have a whole notebook filled with plans and notes about each character (even the ones that appear for small scenes or are only mentioned!) and I just had a blast the whole time coming up with what cameos I could insert and little references I could scatter around. I had backstories planned out that didn't even make it into the fic but helped inform how this universe had changed the characters from their canon counterparts.

Updating it and having people anticipating the updates was such a buzz I can't even explain. I would get messages about it, some very kind artists drew fanart of it! The whole experience was all I had ever wanted as a fanfic writer. I loved every moment.

On a more recent note - I haven't written anything as self indulgent as Flicker, Fizzle, Pop (Destiel/Supernatural) for a long long time and I LOVE that for me. I had soooo much fun! And I was so excited to update it because I had so many people excited to read it! Very very fond of this fic <3

Phew that went on for longer than I expected - turns out I can ramble about my own writing for a long time, who knew right???? asdfghjkl;

Tagging some writers! @encyclopika @amynchan @citrinediamondeyes @velvethopewrites @loserchildhotpants @king4aday @fivefeetfangirl @jemariel @microsuedemouse No pressure though! (I'm just curious about your answers hehehe) But also if you see this and you're not tagged and wanna do it anyway - do eeeeet!!

#thanks again for the tag!!#I have sooooo much fun with these aaaaa #fanfiction tag games #it's Izupie btw for anyone that I tag with this blog who doesn't know this is my side account lmao

Surprise ask game! Pick your 5 favorite blorbos from your shows (or your own, or both!) And list 5 random facts/things you like about each! Tag or send this to 5 other ppl and spread the joy of rambling about things you love!!!

Ohh, since I can do both, I'll do both.

Show Blorbos

Tomura (bnha)

He didn't start as my fave, but dethroned Aizawa insanely fast lmao

I love how his design tells a tragic/disturbing story on its own, no words needed

I want to fluff his hair, no matter the color or length

I don't need a ref anymore, I've drawn him sooo many times by now

I hate that my fave's design included shit ton of hands, thy are a pain to draw lol

Grimmjow (bleach)

I love how his colors are essentially the inversed versions of the protag. Ichigo.

I love how his personality ALSO shares similarities with Ichigo. He feels much more of a special rival to berry boy than anyone else

He survives to the end of the story and even sorta turns into more of a antihero. Ichigo even starts treating him like one of his friends, whenever Grimm realizes/likes it or not lol

CAT.

BIG CAT

Rukia (bleach)

She's actually a very well written shonen female protagonist

She feels like a person & is allowed to be both ridiculous/awkward AND cool & competent, have moments of self doubt as well as confidence based on her own abilities, and these are just couple of things I like about her writing. Basically, again, to summarize, she feels like a proper, well rounded person which I find kinda rare with shonen girls.

Her drawings crack me up

Her Bankai is super pretty...and cool (pun intended lol)

she's my all time fave manga woman (so far)

Death the Kid (Soul Eater)

He's funny as hell

He's also cool as hell

I love his dynamics with his friends

I like his design

I found it actually pretty interesting how his comedy gag actually is quite central to his character, beyond being funny. It has a story reason behind it and is tied to his character development in a sense (as far as I remember, been a while I read SE)

Himiko (bnha)

The best written girl of bnha imo (tho could be better still)

While I complain about it, I actually like her hair!

Writing her as the lil sister character is fun

I like how she's actually considered one of the most dangerous ones, not due to brute force, but intelligence, survival skills, etc.

I still feel like we haven't truly heard her story yet, since what we did get wasn't from her perspective...

Mind Blorbos

Jurou

I have two versions of him now, the main difference between them being the setting they live in (and one being a protagonist while other is a side character) One lives in a modern setting, other more traditional/fantasy type

His voice claim is the same guy who voices AFO (japanese va)

His modern AU version is grumpier due to his different story. He's still a DILF in both tho lol (according to my friend, I regret teaching her that term lol)

In the fantasy version, Hitomi is adopted, in the modern AU, Hitomi is his biological daughter

He was difficult to design but once I got it down, he quickly became one of my faves

Konjou

He's my second fave, his design just sort of sticks to my brain better than anyone elses I've made?

He can even turn his hair to vines eventually, as well as create different types of vines instead of just spiky thorns

His voice claim ended up being Kankuro's japanese VA from Naruto lol

His and Jinchou's dynamic is the ultimate Himbo x Gremlin tsundere thing lol

He has a nephew and niece later on through his half brother Yaguro/Asahi, and the baby niece especially likes to glomp his face as a greeting lol

Chouma

His relationship with lil Youko is my favorite thing with him

Chouma's voice claim is Dabi's VA essentially

I haven't yet figured out his full backstory, which is rare for me OTL

He will have a modern AU version whose bf will be another character instead of Angus, as their dynamic wont work in a different kind of story setting (and he deserves a proper bf lol)

Chouma often uses his wings as a blanket cape

Yume

One of my fave girls, I enjoy her strong willed, temperamental & lil grumpy personality

I still dunno exactly how her outfit works at the back lol, need to figure that out

She's an excellent archer, and a shadow bow is her main weaponry she tends to form from her magic

Her favorite nap spot is Yaguro's back fluff

She's demiromantic pan, this is something I only recently realized makes the most sense for her lol

Aand finally....Toshiko

Her personality is probably closest to my own while not an exact match, and I did not make her that way consciously lol

She enjoys seafood the most, and pork the least

She's awkward around kids and doesn't want to be a mom ever, but still tries her best to be a good role model to those kids who do look up to her (specifically Jurou's kid Hitomi)

She's the one with braincells among her friend group (namely her, Claude, Caelan and her bf Raitei)

Her and her sister Akiko are opposites in almost every way possible, but she still doesn't mind spending time with her

Idk who to tag, maybe I'll send this to someone else, but for now its an open tag!

sorry about this. i don't know if it's worth apologizing for this shit anymore but this is a particularly bad one. anyway. #mpregpocalypse.

okay so like. before i start this post. here's some background reading. not all of it is directly related but all of it has to do with vibes.

x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x / x

anyway. been thinking about a really horrible mpreg au, as is my trademark apparently. in this case it's like. okay. season six. dean and lisa break up. we're assuming that cas is doing like. a good amount of deanwatching so he's like. paying attention. monitoring.

so like. at time of breakup, lisa was like. two weeks pregnant. it is dean's. so cas is like..... well i don't want dean to be tied to this woman since he clearly doesn't want to be. but i don't want to just destroy what is technically his progeny. so what if i just. yoinked it. and kept it in stasis in my grace. for the future. when dean is Ready To Retire And Be A Father. yeah. i think i'm being called to do that.

anyway once he goes godstiel he's like. well, dean can retire now :3. in fact, he will retire :3. nothing will ever touch or bother him again :3. also i am god and can do what i want :3. so why not :3. why shouldn't i have dean's baby :3. so he sort of. impregnates himself with the stolen fetus. but like, he isn't godstiel for that long. less than a month probably. and then of course he walks into a lake.

now, i'm going to play a bit fast and loose with the timeline here, such that cas comes back somewhat earlier and then stays catatonic significantly longer. but like. okay.

cas comes back as emmanuel and he is not like. really visibly pregnant. not obviously so. his clothing is baggy and comfortable so you can't really see it. and emmanuel didn't know he was pregnant.

then cas gets his memories back and is like ooh! how about i lie to dean about this and don't tell him that i stole his and lisa's fetus and impregnated myself with it. i can leave that as a problem for later-me to deal with. and then he takes on sam's hell memories and goes catatonic, without ever telling dean.

but now like. now it's time for reading is fundamental. and cas is now like.... eight or nine months pregnant (or like, the equivalent, whatever that is). like he is visibly, obviously pregnant. he is also like. avoiding things in a different way than he was before.

so when dean shows up cas is immediately like, hi dean! look i'm having your baby isn't that wonderful? and leaps into dean's arms bridal style.

and this is like, a whole nightmare. because like. first of all dean didn't know cas was pregnant and dumped him in an insane asylum. second of all dean is like. so angry with cas. and he desperately wants to take that anger out on him. but in canon reading is fundamental, he can't, because cas is too vulnerable and too avoidant, and it makes him feel guilty. this is intensified hugely here, because cas is all the things he is in reading is fundamental and also pregnant.

dean also can't really demand that cas fight for them, either. i mean, he could, but it's a significantly more uncomfortable proposition.

and also like, cas won't really give an answer when asked how this happened. or rather, he does give an answer: "dean gave me a child when he made love to me under the beautiful moonlight." but that's... obviously untrue. like, dean and cas have never had sex. like cas would really like it to be true, and he's in a mental state where he can make himself believe something if he really really wants to. but dean knows it isn't true, so he's like. what the hell is going on.

dean decides that it belongs to someone else, and cas has just decided that dean is the father because maybe he wants to please dean, or maybe the circumstances of conception were bad in some way. he suspects crowley as the actual father. the other option he considers, that cas somehow acquired dean's dna and impregnated himself on purpose, is too uncomfortable to consider. it suggests among other things too much... knowing queerness, on cas' part.

anyway the main purpose of this au is the literalization of cas being corrupted and made vulnerable by dean in reading is fundamental, like. the literalization of "it took everything to get me here." and thinking about how dean would react to a cas who he absolutely cannot be angry with, who he absolutely cannot force to fight. like, the honey cas shtick actually fully working and deflecting dean's anger. but there's some other notes.

one: if they actually end up in purgatory, cas still runs away from dean. he gives birth alone in purgatory, and when dean finds him, he has the baby with him. they don't really talk about it, and cas still doesn't tell dean where the baby actually came from. like when he eventually tells dean it will definitely be post purgatory.

two: the baby is going to be like. fairly monstrous. like technically it has two human genetic parents, but there are several factors that make it not very human. first of all, cas, when he was godstiel, did alter it to make it more his own. because he wanted it to be his and dean's baby. so it's definitely a nephil. in fact, more than a nephil, since cas is significantly more than an angel at the time. second of all, it did share a womb with a LOT of leviathans so there is some... leftover effect from that. it's a little bit leviathanish, definitely. not to mention all the monster souls. third of all, there's the whole thing of cas spending most of the pregnancy with hallucifer (which is imo a chunk of lucifer's grace) in his head, so that must have some effect. basically that baby is a fun new species and has many terrifying traits. it's probably a flesh eater.

New Muses (in the making)

I’m not sure how strong the feeling for these muses will be but I do hope to have fun with these. Some I am going into new territory and others I will be familiar with and want to delve into them.

First: Princess Peach

So I wanna do something a bit more different than how Peach is typically depicted here. I do intend to keep the pretty, fashion and girly Peach but add a touch of kick ass to it. Like Totally Spies or Kim Possible flare into her. She knows what looks good on her dress and what she can use to bludgeon someone to death with. Some of you might be thinking this being similar to the Nintendo Power Comic of Peach, which is accurate and the best Peach, but I also love the Mario Strikers Peach. So basically I want to make her into a bad bitch.

Next is Team RWBY! After so long of contemplation and debating, and questioning myself on whether I love this series or not.... Yeah I’m doing this. Not entirely sure how much I will divert from canon. There is JPDE which is my favorite fan-made game. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone a fan of RWBY and visual novels. Might even get around to finally giving my OCs a RWBY AU, as I am still working on a team for the final member. Will I include others in the RWBY cast? Not entirely sure.

Soul Eater! Thanks to a certain ask I might actually delve into anime characters. So far, Maka and Soul are good candidates. Lastly, I am currently reading the manga and I will develop more connections to characters. But I always did love the world of Soul Eater and such, it’s kinda like those animes that I grew so close to that are my personal favorites despite not being as big as some others. I am just so rusty.

Possible new ones:

Sora, Kairi and Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. Just not entirely sure how strong I feel about it.

More might come. Thinking of Undertale or Deltarune, maybe more Mario stuff. Who knows.

do u have any fic recs?

Sorry it took me years to answer this! The truth was I really hadn't read many FMA fics (at least not since the FF days) and was waiting until I actually had some recs to give.

And now I have some! My list will surprise no one, I'm sure.

Soul Friends by KyberHearts

“They were not always, and simply, two minds in one body. Towards the latter part of their alliance, especially in the heat of battle and warmongering, their souls could not distinguish where the prince began and the sin ended.”

Ling Yao returns to Xing to seal his fate as the next Emperor and sets his plans for reunification and peace in motion.

Elsewhere, Alphonse Elric reconciles with the very Truth that stole his body.

I absolutely love the way this fic writes post-canon Alphonse and his relationship with Truth.

Damaged by xmypandabear

'"He's still in the hospital too, with the Lieutenant," Alphonse said dully. "Blood loss - someone slit her throat..." Ed stared up at the ceiling, remembered the scientist with the gold tooth, and shuddered at the image his brain conjured of the Lieutenant lying on the floor. "But Mei helped her! So, they're sharing a room - the Colonel and Hawkeye, I mean, not Mei, 'cause the Colonel can't use his hands yet, so she's helping him..."

"His hands?" Ed tried to remember.

"It's how they forced him to do it," Al whispered. "They pinned him down so he couldn't move."

Ed fought back nausea. The sense of wrong, wrong, wrong pervaded every sense of his being. How the fuck was any of that equivalent exchange?'

Love me a good post-promised day healing and processing fic. This one focuses a lot on how Al, Ed, Winry, and Roy are all doing immediately post-promised day and the relationships between all those characters.

Joining of Hands by ehmazing

If you're not breaking a couple of laws, is it really an Elric wedding?

Truly, the best thing about an AlMei wedding is all the hijinks and complications the come from foreign customs and marrying into royalty.

Legends by Elfpen

Alphonse Elric has been living and studying in Xing for a little more than a year and a half. Now, Ling has asked him - ordered him - to take on a new responsibility and fill the shoes vacated by Van Hohenheim four centuries ago. But what use are legends, really, when they're all frauds? The Son of Heaven and the Son of the Western Sage see it differently.

You ever find a fic that just feels completely catered to you and your interests? I love everything about this fic. Alphonse in Xing and the weird politics he has to maneuver as not only an incredibly skilled foreign alchemist but a close friend of the emperor's - all at a young age. His relationship with Hohenheim and the grief and confusion that comes from never really getting to KNOW Hohenheim and now having to come face to face with the lasting impact his father left on a foreign country. Ling scheming. It's all very, very good.

The Principle of Mentalism by The-Immortal-Moon (LunaKat)

There’s a woman with a wrench and a penchant for alcoholism, and what he doesn’t know is that she’s going to change everything.

Another fic that feels like it was written specifically for my interests. This one explores Pinako and Hohenheim's first meeting and how a rowdy mechanic from Resembool and a reserved guilt-written immortal from Xerxes ever became friends in the first place. Features Hohenheim and his one million soul friends and a young awkward Pinako who I want to give SUCH a big hug to. I love it so much.

We'll be Holding on Forever by zipadeea

"Hohenheim left them to save the world. But Dad loved them more than everything in the world."

AU where Alphonse gets his body back a little earlier on the Promised Day.

It changes nothing.

It changes everything.

Read this if you want to cry. It focuses on Ed and Hohenheim's relationship and it is full of pain but also healing and understanding. Great quick read.

ticket stubs and your diaries by nerdywriiterchild

Alphonse Elric is almost fifteen. He will never know Xerxes.

This one is short but packs a powerful emotional punch and a really interesting character study into only a few paragraphs. Explores the really interesting question: what is it like to mourn a culture you're a part of but will never really know?

Briding Her Time in Wait

The wedding date was set. Winry and Ling had screamed at one another for months during the preparation out of a mutual need for their childhood friend and half-sister to have the most incredible wedding in the history of either Amestris or Xing, and as a result the wedding canopy suffered from a unique blend of western and eastern traditions that left guests from both sides of the desert confused and requesting refills on drinks that didn’t exist. Still, the two wedding planners manipulated the day into running smoothly, Ling pulling his Emperor card when necessary, Winry pulling her, well, Winry card when necessary, while Ed and Lan Fan stood awkwardly around the food table making small talk that mostly consisted of complaints about automail. By the time the golden groom was ushered through a beautification process that left him requiring an escort to avoid the various women—and men—attempting to seduce him at the last minute, the guests were settled and the wedding was ready to roll.

Except no one knew where the hell the bride had gone.

I'm always a sucker for Scar and Mei's relationship.

One More Time, With Feeling

In the end the Elric brothers laughed over the irony: The traveller had settled to write books on alchemy while juggling two boisterous children blessed with Rockbell rockheadedness and Elric recklessness, and the settler had taken to travelling between Amestris and Xing for the remainder of his life. It came, really, with having two homes.

-------------------------------------------------------

A bird could love a fish, but where would they live?

This one explores Alphonse's relationship with Mei post-series and is VERY in line with how I picture it. Being in love with a foreign princess in line for the throne with a duty to her people and country would make for a very complicated and often strained relationship.

Magic and Mind by Preelikeswriting

Of all things Edward was prepared for as the day of reckoning grew near, being transported from one world on the edge of war to another was not one of them.

AKA: Edward gets accidentally summoned by Death Eaters, and neither party is happy.

(Pre-Promise Day, HP book 5)

Ok so preface: I rarely like crossover fics and I very rarely like HP crossover fics, but this one just works for me. I think what I like so much about it is that Edward doesn't just get thrown into the world of HP and join the golden trio / order and start fighting Voldemort. Oh no. He does not care about their fight at all. He just wants to get back home and will do anything he needs to to achieve that, even if it makes him look like he's working with Death Eaters or going against Harry and friends.

I think the fun of this fic is that it kind of plays around with the fact that the READER knows who the good guys are of each series and would expect them to join forces. Sure, Ed is the Good Guy of FMA and Harry and friends are the Good Guys of HP, but Ed's goals don't really align with Harry's goals and so they're not really working together, and Ed kind of comes off looking shady af to the HP characters despite the fact that the reader knows why he's doing what he's doing. It's a far more interesting take on Ed goes to HP world than "Ed immediately joins the fight against Voldemort."

The series has three works so far and I haven't finished it, but I really loved the first and what I've read of the second. It also eventually heads into Ed/Draco territory which is not a ship I would have initially read but.....kind of works for me here.

GENSHIN IMPACT FANFIC REC LIST II

(previous: part i)

Seaglass by Aevas

There was more to the contract than a gnosis and test of Liyue. It seemed like a simple deal five hundred years ago: so long as Morax never had a soulmate, the Tsaritsa would never harm Liyue and she would not get his gnosis. But the moment he gained a soulmate, all that belonged to him was forfeit. He thought the deal left Liyue safe—he'd lived thousands of years without a soulmate. The Tsaritsa would be dead and gone by the time she'd have a chance to collect.

Five hundred years later, Childe appears in Liyue, Zhongli gains a soulmate mark, and everything falls apart.

(The obligatory soulmate AU, featuring a Zhongli with PTSD, an oblivious Childe, and demon-worshipping cultists.)

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: I CANNOT BELIEVE I SLEPT ON THIS FIC FOR SO LONG. Read it and I mean it! I admitted initially steered clear of this fic because I wasn’t comforted with a soulmate tartali fic pre-Osial but this fic is actually post-Ostial *facepalm* The writing is phenomenal and Aevas does some beautiful worldbuilding that you typically don’t see in Genshin Impact fics. I love the dynamic between Childe and Zhongli here and the angst is real. The author writes the two as very human characters who makes mistakes, etc. and notably Zhongli struggles with the concept of Childe as his soulmate (who understandably is upset by the rejection when he realizes). They get better though. Also very plotty. A+ writing.

it's a hard rock life for us by reptilianraven

“Ah, no need to worry about that,” Azhdaha waves a dismissive hand. “There is no real Kun Jun. He’s dead.”

A leaf blows past and plaps onto Aether’s face.

“You killed him???” Paimon screeches.

“No,” Azhdaha scrunches his eyebrows. “He was dead when I found him.”

“And you just decided to wear his corpse?” Aether says, leaf still on his face.

He shrugs. “It was free real estate.”

“Azhdaha...” Morax says, sounding vaguely pained.

Or the one where Historia Antiqua Chapter II: No Mere Stone goes a little bit different and Azhdaha gets more time.

He ultimately uses that time to bully Morax into confronting his immortal neuroses, to make Aether and Paimon suffer, and to figure out how to get that ginger boy Morax has his eye on to make a move already.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe, Past Azhdaha/Zhongli

Notes: Very lighthearted, humor-filled fic. Love how Azhdaha is so flippant. Interactions with Zhongli and Childe are pure gold.

if there's a light at the end, it's just the sun in your eyes by moonlight_mist

Childe has a Weapon problem- specifically, that he can't keep one.

He's too reckless, too wild, and too keen on pushing his Weapon partners past their limits. He's just about ready to give up when he meets Zhongli, a Weapon who just might be the solution- so long as Childe can manage to keep his dick in his pants.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: This is a Soul Eater AU with some college/university AU vibes (?) but you don’t really need to know much about the anime. It’s a cute AU and I love the premise. Light angst but otherwise, it’s a pretty semi-plotty fic. Easter egg Kaeya and Diluc though.

To Kill A God by IlluminanceinTales

In Snezhnaya, they call them sansis—lost souls that have no guidance but themselves. It’s an apt description, given that most of the time, wannabe-Archons have to go through dozens of tests with nothing as their reference, relying solely on their wit and strength and hoping it would be enough. At least, until they survive the end of the whole game—and they might not have to undergo a painful reincarnation which feels like a hundred bones being stitched together again.

On his seventh game, Childe Tartaglia reincarnates this time in the body of a young man.

Damn, he thinks, looking down at his thin body, his slightly calloused fingers. This won’t be good when facing the other Hydro Decisions.

In a world where an Archon's position is not chosen but fought for in games, Childe Tartaglia is a Hydro Decision who's poised to become the next Hydro Archon. Of course, that's only if he survives his seventh reincarnation. All would be so much easier if it weren't for a certain Geo Archon interfering with every possible chance he gets.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: Think Hunger Games meet Political Intrigue meet Genshin Impact. Love the premise and world building that’s done. Features overprotective Zhongli and lots of Childe whump. Has one or two supplementary OCs that aren’t really important outside of plot device reasons. Warning for character death tho lmao.

Three's a Family by IlluminanceinTales

Childe finds a kid that looks just like him.

Of course Zhongli wants to keep him.

Or: How a harbinger and an archon accidentally become fathers. The kid is their wingman

Ships: Childe/Zhongli (?)

Notes: Your everyday cute AF kid fic. Fluffy as hell and super cute. Zhongli and Childe get domestic pretty quickly. Xiao gets dubbed a grandfather and begrudgingly plays along. Super wholesome.

in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape by snowbrigade

He glanced down at him, at the silvery scars peeking out from beneath his robe, and at his eyes, properly now. They were the bright blue of high quality noctilucous jade, but he could see it, an underlying darkness.

Zhongli wondered what his eyes betrayed about himself. --

Rex Lapis is dead. Zhongli, formerly known as triad leader Rex Lapis, is a detective investigating his own "death." Childe, also known as Tartaglia of the Fatui mafia, is undercover as an escort looking to kill Rex Lapis- until someone beats him to it, and he wants to know who. Goals intersecting, they form a partnership of ulterior motives.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: There’s like one scene that skews NSFW but otherwise surprisingly not explicit. Really fun AU. Like how the author addresses Childe’s reaction to being stuck with the undercover escort stuff and how the dynamic between the two develops. Pretty plotty so far.

Phantom Lines by iskendaris

“It’s a measure of one’s self, Mr Zhongli.” Childe says. “Maybe you don’t understand it since you work as a consultant, but as an ambassador from the Tsaritsa, as one who fights in her name— this is how I learn to know the measure of myself.” “I understand,” Zhongli says thoughtfully. “It is a warrior’s way, to test one’s strength against the incomparable. To find where one falls short. To find where one has risen to the challenge.”

In which Childe has insomnia, vandalizes public property and runs into a mysterious funeral consultant on his first night in Liyue.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: THE FEELS. I can only describe this as the fic where Zhongli pays Best Boyfriend Ever only to FUCK UP big time (via Gnosis deception). Poor, poor Childe. Look, he gave the boy feelings and then broke him. You can really feel Childe fall in love in this love. He also does mental swooning a lot lmao.

adventitious by Anonymous

It's said the Ley Lines remember all things that happen in this world, from the surface down to the deepest depths... But in the hidden corners where the Gods' gaze does not fall, there are those who dream of dreaming.

There's a dormant bud where Kaeya's eye once was. One day, it will bloom. (Never forget: memory is untrustworthy.)

Ships: Diluc/Kaeya

Notes: I don’t even know where to start. This is very headcanony and lore-focused. Very much concentrated on Khaenri'ah. The implications of this story is grotesque to say the least (according to this fic, Visions are the literal eyes of the people of Khaenri'ah). Warnings for eye and body horror.

Without Those Dark Memories by StrangeDiamond

Diluc awakens in Stormterror’s Lair with no memories of the past five years. Kaeya is on the trail of a rogue alchemist, with a habit of testing his chemicals on unwilling human subjects. Now, in addition to capturing the criminal, Kaeya has to shake him down for an antidote . . . and deal with an amnesiac Diluc who acts exactly like he did before their brotherhood fell apart. (Standalone Fic.)

Ships: Diluc/Kaeya

Notes: This is sort of a classic amnesia fic. I particularly really liked the way that Kaeya was written in this. I feel like the author did a really good job nailing his character and they have a way of capturing the subtle things.

Through the warmth, through the cold by strikedawn

“It’s you!” Paimon shouted with a twirl in mid-air.

“…Excuse me?"

They were drunk. Were they drunk? Was he drunk? Because Kaeya had the feeling his guests had been talking to him for a while now, but none of their words had made any sense whatsoever.

That was, until Venti stepped firmly in front of Kaeya’s desk and set his hands on the top, the better to lean over towards Kaeya and say: “For the end of the Windblume festival, Sir Kaeya Alberich, we’re going to auction a date with you.”

Ships: Diluc/Kaeya

Notes: Shortword, Kaeya gets auctioned off. Diluc makes impulsive (but good) decisions and scores himself a Date but displays an inability to do Date Planning. Venti deserves a pat on the back. Very sweet.

Hide and Seek by Kiri_Kaitou_Clover

Childe did not expect regaining his memories would bring him such frustration.

He makes the best of the situation by messing with one amber eyed consultant in anyway he can.

A reincarnated storm god wades through life in Liyue, all while screaming about one dragon god's incompetency at being human.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: Features Childe as Osial’s very exasperated reincarnation, who gets the joy of discovering that his rival/enemy Morax is not only an idiot but also broke AF. He still falls in love anyway. Contains this golden line:

"Did... did that complete blockhead really use my money in order to get me a gift that basically says that he is proposing to me?!"

(Osial was screaming. When had the other god become like this?! Had he always been like this?!)

Getting that Bread by tzitzimeme

Concubine AU where Zhongli is Emperor, Xiao is an assassin sent to kill him while disguised as a woman in his imperial harem, and the only reason he doesn't actually do it is because he pities Zhongli for being so catastrophically stupid (also Xiao falls in love).

Ships: Zhongli/Xiao

Notes: Like Xiao says, Zhongli is an idiot. Fluff and humor filled. Xiao spends a good 95% of this exasperated by Zhongli’s bullshit.

prayers for a boy by Recluse

The only way to reconciliation is fierce combat!

Hm... Come to think of it, there will be a lot of interesting news to be heard the next time we gather for drinks. Filling in the blanks.

Ships: N/A

Notes: I...don’t really know where to begin with this? It’s exactly what the summary implies...but more? I was tempted to describe this as the fic where Zhongli puts his foot in his mouth but...that’s not exactly write? I feel like this was more of a character study. It explores the aftermath of the Osial Incident and how Zhongli and Childe reconnect. Platonically...though I guess it can be read romantically.

one kind of longing, two places of sorrow by lady_peony

Zhongli's hands rest behind his back, both gloved hands clasping one another. His fingers tighten around one another for the merest moment, before he relaxes his grip.

"There is a tradition in Liyue," Zhongli says, his back still to Childe standing behind him, "of inviting out a companion to a last meal before a farewell."

A pause.

"A tradition?" Childe echoes.

"Yes."

"With a companion?"

"Yes."

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: The fic where neither of the two communicate about jackshit but go on a quiet, sad not-date before Childe leaves for Snezhnaya. Childe pulls (? on accident or on purpose, I can not tell) the equivalent of leaving the jacket in the car post-date to get date to call for the second date. Also, the author has a gift for like...writing angst...without writing angst? Like the whole fic is like brimming with everything that the characters aren’t saying but the thoughts aren’t necessarily written out BUT YOU KNOW THOSE DUMBFUCKS ARE JUST LIKE. BRIMMING WITH FEELS?

The People of Liyue by queer_occurrences

But Zhongli whispers, his low voice rooted in the back of Childe’s mind. “Changsun, the merchant, who is never too Mora-enthralled to turn away a needy child. There’s Tiantian—she will allow anyone to join the Adventurer’s Guild—she knows what it is to be desperate.”

Childe ducks away from them and hurries out over the bridge. It’s a warm, sunny day, the kind he would have complained about, whining about his delicate Snezhnayan skin. “It’ll burn, or worse, freckle. Would you still like me if I was freckled?”

Then Zhongli would say, “The people of Liyue will remember your sacrifice.” And he would wrinkle his nose.

Or: after it all goes down, Childe takes a walk.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: The author has a way with perfectly balancing angst with humor in a way that makes you cackle. There’s a lot of feels in this one. Zhongli tries communicating--Childe runs away a lot. There’s a lot of love for Liyue in this one.

cold blooded, warm blooded, hearts all the same by reptilianraven

Teyvat Petting Zoo @tyvtpettingzoo

Well would you look at that! Zhongli, our resident spinytail iguana, has gotten quite cozy with Childe, our new (and very feisty) ginger ferret! Aren’t they adorable all cuddled together like this? 😍😍😍

[Attached image shows a brown spinytail iguana curled up against a ginger ferret. The iguana’s head is nuzzled under the snout of the ferret.]

At the Teyvat Petting Zoo, Zhongli and Childe fall in love.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: ...I promise I’m not weird. This is just super cute. Cross-species love affair? Childe the ferret is very besotted. The internet is confused and the zoo keepers are just done.

a geo archon's guide to the modern era by Erina

“Morax,” Xiao says after Zhongli finishes his retelling of the incident. “He thinks you’re a weirdo.”

“No, don’t say that,” Barbatos snickers. “You’ll give him hope that this is salvageable.” He lowers his voice. “Morax, he thinks you’re a boomer.”

(In which Zhongli hibernates for centuries and wakes up in the modern world)

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: This took me, I shit you not, FIVE SEPARATE ATTEMPTS to read. Not because it was bad but BECAUSE THE SECOND HAND EMBARRASSMENT WAS REAL. Like, omg, just reading about Zhongli’s introduction to modernity made me want to dig a hole and die. Super funny though. Do not read in public or you will look like a lunatic. Has a...parallel (?) fic in the same series called buy two get one archon free where Zhongli gets reversed isekai’d into an anime convention.

time flies like an arrow by Erina

He’s tired, tired of the unbreakable loop of watching his loved ones pass on, tired of getting attached only for the connection to be violently ripped away from him. He wonders if the real victors during the Archon War were those who perished, who died long before their godhood turned into a curse that chained them to the land that they were fighting for.

But that is not a problem for Childe to worry about. That is Zhongli’s burden to bear, delivered to him in a pretty package years ago in the form of a gnosis.

His very first contract.

(Zhongli and Childe, across many lifetimes)

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: This is a quiet fic. It’s this kind of slice-of-life fic colored by this overpowering sense of love and loss as Zhongli remains immortal and Childe dies and lives and dies and lives for hundreds of lifetimes, but always finds his way back to his geo archon. It’s so lovely but also unbearably sad.

Tartaglia’s Favorite Professor by GreyLiliy

The famed hitman Tartaglia of the Fatui Syndicate spends his days as the charming college student Childe. The two lives remain as separate as possible in order to maintain a flawless cover to keep the authorities off his back and to better serve the Tsaritsa.

However, new intel about a rival syndicate intersects his two lives in a way he could never have predicted.

Ships: Zhongli/Childe

Notes: Mafia AU meet College AU. Childe is somehow both a horny AF college student and murderous hitman. Zhongli gives off major DILF vibes. GreyLily somehow makes this work while also avoiding cringe. Highly recommended!

like a handprint on my heart by fallingintodivinity

“Strictly off-the-record,” Jean says, with a small smile, “I’m really happy to see you and Captain Kaeya getting along again, Master Diluc.”

“We’re not – we’re not getting along,” Diluc tells her, indignant. “We’re working together. Unwillingly, I might add.”

“Yes – oh, yes, of course.”

Diluc stares at Jean suspiciously. “Are you laughing at me?”

Jean clears her throat primly. “I would never.”

Ships: Diluc/Kaeya

Notes: Super, super cute! Sort of reads like a first date fic except genshin impact style? Writing style is very refreshing!

Wizards Hearts Recs: Soulmates

Wizards Hearts was a four-month-long Drarry reading fest. Players were given a playing deck of 52 tropes, and were asked to find 52 different fics to read and comment on to fill their decks. To prevent the same few fics from being read, fics were restricted to only being used for the game three times before being considered ineligible for further points. The tropes and submissions list can be found here.

Check out the masterlist of fics for this trope below the cut!

It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.” Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him – Malfoy’s eyes widen.

When he was old enough to feel the pangs of adolescent longing, but still too young to sense the storm gathering around them. “Magic will overcome any distance or obstacles to bring two soulmates together when the time is right. Circumstances will arise that steer them in the right direction; strange coincidences will make their paths cross again and again. Then the most wondrous moment arrives, when you both realize that your soulmate, your perfect match, stands before you, and from that day forward your hearts will be one.” Ten years after that conversation, the idea of perfectly-matched soulmates feels more like a curse than a blessing to Draco.

There is an entire lifetime in that one breath.’ Finding your soulmate is the one way a wix can hope to live past thirty, but if he can’t have that with Astoria, Draco is ready to check out, let his magic eat him up and be done. Harry, on the other hand, isn’t about to leave any stone unturned or path unbeaten until he finds the one person meant for him before that fated birthday rolls around. After every failed attempt he grows more and more convinced that whatever Voldemort did to him might have made him unlovable, but he will go down fighting if he has to.

It doesn't help that Draco is an addict, coasting on reality-altering highs to feel something happy, something pure just once more before the comedown. What Harry doesn't expect is to care so much that it tears him apart at the seams. A story about love, drugs, and getting better. ❤️ Read on AO3

But seeing Malfoy in all of them? Definitely way too much. And worse yet: needing the bastard's help to figure out how to get out of of it. It was a disaster waiting to happen, really. Well... probably. ❤️ Read on AO3

📜 you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass Rated: Mature Words: 20730 Tags: Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soul Bond, Red String of Fate, Heavy Angst, Terminal Illnesses, Major Illness, Angst with a Happy Ending Summary: When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want. He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try. ❤️ Read on AO3

Hi bby! 1, 2, 3, 6, 16, 27, 29, 33, 35! 🖤

mittens!!! loml!!

1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

oh goodness... um, i’d say a 4?? yeah, that sounds about right, only because i often make so many tense mistakes and even when i edit there’s always something to fix. and just,,, im still learning a lot (aren’t we all). plus, sometimes the stuff i put out needs so much more work (see: my recent shisaku fic... i want to tear it up and put it back together.. ugh.. also wt&r, just everything)

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

OH GOODIE! i just... well, i wrote a lot when i was twelve-fourteenish, then kind of on and off through the years. never really had anything to ground me and get me to take writing seriously. and then i found naruto and sakura who has so much unused potential and it just made me so angry to see her treated that way.

point being, the naruto fandom (more specifically the sakura fandom) rooted me down and allowed me be able to grow as a writer even though i’ve only been posting since january my writing style has changed so much, and i can physically feel myself becoming a better writer.

plus, i just love it. the thrill of being able to use these characters and pairings and do what i want with them?? i drink it up, i love it!!! its so freeing and such a great way to really dig deep within writing itself.

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

i think its just the way i word things, you and a lot of others call it poetry but meh i just call it fancy words or word vomit from my brain AHAHHAHA

also, my thing is God Killers, God Eaters, and Angry Wrathful Women at this point, so maybe thats another thing?

but honestly,,, i have no clue... you’d have to ask my lovely readers, im so thankful for them 😭

6. What element of writing do you find comes easily?

plot probably. this changes often though. usually when i have an idea, the rest comes to mind and i jot it down and come back and change things and stuff, so thats usually pretty easy tbh... at least for now LMAO

and inner dialogue, inner struggles, showing the entire internal thing. its fun writing that angsty part of a story, the small insights into a character’s mind, how miserable and alone they feel. or, perhaps how happy they are, overjoyed and at peace.

OH AND WORLD BUILDING. i pride myself so much on my world building. i honestly think thats one of the better things im good at! just weaving small details into the text, and subtly building a world within your mind, oh i love it so much!!!!

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

mmmm nothing really comes to mind? men simping for women who could kick their ass? tho idk if thats really a guilty pleasure....am very fond of same age aus, sometimes mafia aus too... ummm,, yeah

(probably big dick tenzo tbh... and the fact that kakashi’s face is a legal weapon AHAHAHA,,, and broken, vunreble men. also, shattered, all consuming women.)

27. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received?

oh god... i cannot chose! you, ele, al, and hika leave the kindest comments, and literally any comment on the things i write just make me so so so so so HAPPY. i just them more than kudos tbh.

but! one comment on the intimacy of being understood i always come back to. it was left by GuardianMars and they wrote that the fic was like a “love letter to the pairing.” and that well. i think about that comment all the time.

there have been so many others comments that have utterly touched my heart and that i will go to read on terrible, horrible days and i value ALL comments. especially those who say “i’m rereading this again” or “i’ll read anything you put out” that just. there is something so intimate about that, that utter faith and loyalty that i do not know what to do with.

its so touching and makes me truly believe in the good of the world.

29. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

yes! i am attempting to get better at writing smut because ol&w is going to have some fucking in it so i experimented in that shisaku fic and just..... yeah idk man. idk... its something i do want to get better at cause, meh why not? and i want to write some good porn for my readers damnit! HAHAHA

33. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?

hmmm,,, probably that i stress so much and yet so little at the same time? allow me to elaborate! i stress so much about whether my writing is actually good or if people are just being nice LMAO and also posting, i get cold sweats and a thumping heart and yiKES

but also, i enjoy writing so its like “fuck you (jk ily guys) imma write what i wanna!”...do you see my issue? HAHAHA

also, im a planner. most of the time, and a lot of the details in my more serious fics (ol&w) are blink and miss details but they’re important and i LOVE foreshadowing!!!! like yes, i will vaguely mention something and itll simply come back with a vengeance!

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

aaaaaa okokok thank you for this ask LMAO i just love talking about writing and rambling (as i often do,, im a long winded person, im very sorry)!

but anyways! my summer semester just started up and i’m taking three purely online classes and the college im attending (im a dual enrollment student; meaning a high school and college kid,, taking advantage of the system!) fucked up my schedule so! im taking two TWELVE WEEK CLASSES that will end in AUGUST???? and then my fall sem starts five days later so... no summer break for nadia! yay...

writing will be very slow and updates will be too, which i am so sad and frustrated about because i’ve finally hit a paved road and now we’re driving into the forest! all bumps and bruises damnit! BUT worry not! i (as i said above, am i severe planner. every day has a plan, i am also an avid lover of lists also. i have lists for EVERYTHING) am working out a schedule so that i can get all my school shit done as soon as i can (while not failing) and write while hopefully not burning myself out.

ol&w is such an intricate fic and im truly trying to give it the justice it deserves,,, im just hoping that my dear readers can bear with me HAHAHAHA there is honestly so much going on in that fic; shikamaru’s development, the underlying plot, the hate to love build up, the world building, and then laying down the foundations for the next fic (because yes, this is supposed to be a trilogy.. question is; will i be able to write it?) (answer: maybe. hopefully. i desperately want to but it might take some time.)

BUT ASLO i have so many oneshots i want to write! kisame week! kakashi week! kibasaku long fic! and not to mention my og work that i plan on rewriting and putting up on ao3 because a few people showed some interest. there is just so much to do and write and i am itching to do it all! but. well, but school, and the exhaustion of insomnia, and the weight of stress, sigh.

shit sucks, it is what it is. but writing is like my safe haven and i just love pouring all myself into my fics and then baring my soul to you all and you take a peek and decide to keep looking. that is my favorite part of this little pocket of tumblr.

this was not really... fic related? more like a dump of issues! so sorry about that AHAHAHAH

anyways! thank you so much mittens! :)))))))))

pick my brain!

Oooh Gin n Tonic for the soulmate ficlet!

(Author’s Note: OKAY so this one got away from me--it’s almost 3k words. It’s a little darker/sadder than I thought it would be--I started off with Power Couple vibes, and then it became canon compliant, so obvi that didn’t quite happen. Ginny’s still a bad bitch tho. Thanks for the prompt and I hope you like <3)

SEND ME A HARRY POTTER RARE-PAIR FOR SOULMATE AU FICLET

TW: brief & mild self-harm, depression, off-screen attempted murder, minor character death

**********

Here’s the thing.

By the time Ginevra Weasley is born, there are six other Weasley children already. It’s hard enough to distinguish yourself when you’re poor, when your family name is synonymous with Blood Traitors in some circles and Pity in others, when everything you own is second-hand and handed-down and usedbrokendirty. It’s even harder knowing half her siblings will make a name for themselves before she’s even out of nappies.

Bill is the most talented. Charlie, the most fearless. Percy is the smartest. The twins are funny and inventive to a degree that’s nearly unbeatable. Even Ron is the best at chess, the best at strategy.

What’s left for me, she wonders.

But when she’s old enough to understand soulmarks, old enough to read them, she realizes that magic herself has marked her as different. Nobody in her family two sets of words the way she does.

**********

Here’s the thing.

Tom Riddle is born to nothing but the name falling from his dying mother’s lips, but even in a sea of orphans, he is extraordinary. First, because he is a pretty child. Then because is so very bright. And later—though not much later, because as noted, he is extraordinary—because of his magic.

And because, unlike the other children at Wool’s, there is a string of words winding around his wrist in narrow script that read, “I wish someone would see me instead of my family.”

Soulmarks. That’s what Professor Dumbledore calls them when he visits, when he explains magic and Hogwarts and the words his soulmate will one day say to him.

“Someone made just for me,” Tom mutters under his breath, enchanted by the idea. Someone who will understand him wholly and completely, who will be his entirely—

“Well,” Dumbledore says, and he has a strange, cold look in his steely eyes. “Not all soulmates work out.”

Tom gets the impression Dumbledore might not like him very much, and that’s before the man sets his wardrobe on fire.

Still, before Dumbledore leaves, Tom asks one more question.

“Sir. Do people only have one soulmate?”

Dumbledore pauses, assesses Tom. “Almost always.”

Tom nods quietly and lets the old man leave.

(There’s a second set of words in a more elegant script above Tom’s left hip that read, “It’s always you, isn’t it?” Another sign that he’s more than the wizards around him—two soulmarks instead of the usual one—but Tom doesn’t tell anyone about them. Not yet.)

**********

When Ginny meets Harry Potter—for only a split second just outside platform 9 ¾ —she hopes it will be him. Probably lots of people hope Harry Potter will speak their words; he’s a hero and he has the prettiest green eyes and the nicest smile. He doesn’t speak to her then, and she’s too shy to say anything, and that means there’s still a chance.

Still a chance when Harry Potter comes to visit the next summer.

But of course, then he waves and says a cheery, “Hello!”

Ginny freezes, turns and all but runs back up the stairs. Neither of her marks is a simple, “Hello.”

For the next few days, weeks, she wallows a bit in her disappointment. Harry Potter is not her soulmate.

The excitement of Hogwarts dulls the hurt of her doomed crush, though, right up until she puts on the sorting hat and it says, “Another Weasley.��

And in the Gryffindor girls’ dorms late that night, having unpacked and found a strange, blank diary that she doesn’t remember buying, Ginny writes down the thought that’s been plaguing her practically from the moment she was born.

“I wish someone would see me instead of my family.”

She doesn’t expect the book to write back.

“I see you.”

She stares at the words, the pretty, delicate script, for only a moment, and then she’s running to the bathroom, wrenching her nightgown down off her shoulder because even though she’s looked every day since she learned to read, she has to be sure.

“Those are my words,” she whispers to herself, vaguely aware she’s nearly hyperventilating. She all but runs back to the book—her soulmate is a book?—and writes more.

“I’m Ginevra Weasley, though I go by Ginny. Who are you?”

**********

When Tom Riddle is 16 and overconfident and proud and desperate to prove himself, he opens the Chamber of Secrets and inadvertently kills Myrtle Warren.

Waste not, want not, he thinks. The girl’s death might have been a bit of an accident—he’d planned to kill someone, if not her specifically, and perhaps not right now—but that won’t matter for the ritual he has planned.

When he makes his first horcrux, he feels as though he’s being split apart. The agony is blinding, burning. But eventually it fades and he hauls himself up, dusts himself off, and sneaks back into the Slytherin dormitories.

It’s only the next morning that he realizes the soulmark on his wrist is gone. Not burned off. Not faded to gray the way they do when your soulmate has died. It’s as if it never existed.

(The one on his hip remains unchanged.)

Ultimately, he decides, it’s of little consequence. Soulmates are a childish fancy that had appealed to him when he was an orphan nobody. Now, Lord Voldemort is on the horizon—a grander image for himself that will elevate him beyond the paltry frivolities of mortal men.

He doesn’t linger on this loss, or what it might mean for his soul.

**********

Ginny wakes up on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets, soaked to the bone in filthy water, Harry Potter bleeding profusely beside her. The diary—Tom—is on the floor, a huge hole gaping on the front cover.

He tried to kill me, Ginny realizes, a sick feeling in her stomach. Tom had possessed her for months, had made her kill chickens and set the basilisk on muggleborns, had dragged her down to the Chamber so he could suck the life out of her. And now he’s dead.

At first, there’s nothing but the relief of surviving, tinged with bitterness and a vile, betrayed feeling in her gut. The idea of telling anyone that her soulmate was Tom—was Voldemort, as it turns out—makes her throw up. And then, of course, it occurs to her that no one has to know.

It would be better if no one knew.

She keeps that tidbit to herself, even with the anger and the grief. Everyone attributes her moods to the fact that she nearly died, but eventually they stop worrying so much. Eventually they leave her alone.

The mark on her shoulder—“I see you.”—once black, now has faded to a pale gray. So light it’s nearly invisible to anyone else.

The other mark is fine.

**********

Ginny throws herself into her life with the energy of a person who knows what it means to die. Where she was quiet and shy before—always overwhelmed and overshadowed by her siblings—she’s now loud and bright and fearless. If Tom has taught her anything, it’s that nobody else is going to come along and make her great. That’s something she’s going to have to do for herself.

So she tries. She makes friends with Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. She studies hard, makes sure she answers questions in class. She goes to the tri-wizard ball her third year with a nice boy named Michael Corner who is not her soulmate. She dances and she has fun and he doesn’t try to kill her, so it’s a win.

She thinks she might finally be getting the hang of things.

Of course, that’s when Voldemort resurrects himself.

Harry lands in the stadium, sobbing and clinging to Cedric Diggory’s body, and suddenly the sick feeling from the Chamber is back.

**********

Cedric Diggory was Harry Potter’s soulmate.

Ginny learns this late at night at Grimmauld Place because dreams of the Chamber and Tom are keeping her awake and when she goes to make a cup of tea, she finds Harry at the table, staring blankly in the dark.

The clock reads 2 a.m.

“I barely got to know him, and he’s gone,” Harry says, voice ragged from crying. “And it’s my fault—”

“It’s Tom’s fault,” Ginny snaps. Not her Tom, really, but they’re the same enough. Both murderers and jackasses as far as she’s concerned.

Harry looks up at her, wide green eyes, and she realizes that no one else has told him he’s not to blame. Not for Voldemort coming back, or for Cedric dying. She wonders if anyone else even knows that they were soulmates.

Maybe that’s what prompts her to tell him.

“Tom was mine.” The words taste like ash, scrape up her throat and leave her feeling raw. “The diary. He was my soulmate.”

She shows him the grayed-out words on her shoulder.

“Fuck,” Harry chokes out eventually. “That’s…”

There really aren’t words for this.

“It’s all fucked,” she agrees.

Her tea is scalding and soothing and not nearly enough. But she’s been here for months; she knows where Sirius has been hiding the good stuff from her mom. She reaches into the false bottom of the china cabinet, pulls out a bottle of Ogdens, and pours a shot into her tea.

Harry raises a brow, but she just shrugs.

“I think we’ve earned it, don’t you?”

He takes the shot she pours for him, and there’s a silent promise that they won’t talk about this. Not with anyone else.

**********

She shouldn’t have come here.

That’s what she thinks, standing in the Department of Mysteries, in the Hall of Prophecies. One moment, they’re looking for Sirius, and then Lucius fucking Malfoy is there, and Bellatrix Lestrange, and a handful of other Death Eaters, and Ginny knows they’ve stumbled into a trap they’re not getting out of unscathed.

Harry was holding the prophecy, but sometime between him taunting Malfoy and when they all send out a simultaneous stupefy, she feels him slide it into her pocket. It takes less than a second for her to understand. They’ll think Harry has it, and even when it inevitably comes out that he doesn’t, Ron and Hermione will be the next obvious choices. Ginny is unexpected; Ginny can keep it safe.

They scatter, each one of them running in a different direction. Ginny’s dodging spells left and right, tossing hexes over her shoulder. She’s always had a fair amount of power, but the DA has honed her skills in a way they never were before. She lands more hits than she expects, hears the belligerent cursing of the man behind her when a well-placed diffindo makes him stumble. She can’t look back and see the damage herself—that would be stupid and she can’t afford to give up her meager lead—but she tosses a reducto and listens as the walls collapse.

She has three seconds to be proud of herself before it all goes to shit.

Somehow they all end up back in the same room—a strange one with a pale, shimmering archway standing in the middle—and then they’re surrounded: Death Eaters on all sides.

Voldemort himself strides forward from the darkness. He’s tall and pale and snake-like, but those movements, that grace, are all Tom.

The room is too cool and dark and for a moment, she’s back in the Chamber, she’s fading, she’s dying, she’s staring up at Tom’s face, twisted into a mocking, cruel smile that she’ll never forget as long as she lives.

“Harry Potter,” Voldemort says, breaking her out of her memory. “And I see you’ve brought your useless friends.”

There’s a split second of nothing, and then Harry’s clutching at his scar, screaming. Ginny is distantly aware of Ron helping to catch him, but she won’t be distracted now. She keeps her wand level, steady, and aimed at Voldemort.

That’s why she sees when his gaze shifts to her: red and piercing and horrid.

“Don’t be stupid, girl. Give it here,” he says, words half-hissed, and he holds out his hand for the prophecy.

She stares at him. Stares, and then laughs. It’s something manic and bitter and this is not the time, but she can’t help it. Fuck.

Because those are her other words, the ones etched across her ribcage.

(When she was younger—before the Chamber incident—she’d never liked these words as well as the other set. Her soulmate was calling her stupid, for one thing, and seemed demanding to boot. After Tom and the basilisk and nearly dying, she’d looked at these words with the last shred of hope she had left. She’d hoped, first impressions aside, that maybe this person would be the one to love her. Maybe this person she’d be allowed to keep.)

What a fucking joke.

“It’s always you, isn’t it?” she spits and has the joy of watching Lord Voldemort freeze on the spot.

She has managed to strike him speechless. It’s almost enough of an advantage.

But in the end—Ginny is starting to think some things are inevitable—Voldemort and his Death Eaters rally, the Order of the Phoenix shows up to save the day, the prophecy shatters, Sirius dies.

**********

Back in the safety of Hogwarts, of the Hospital Wing, Ginny puts her fist through a mirror.

Then she takes one of the shards to the words on her ribcage, tries to scrape them off.

Madam Pomfrey has to stop her, has to restrain her to the bed while she heals the bleeding wound.

The mark stays. It’s magic, her soulmark; it goes deeper than the skin.

***********

Voldemort sits in his study in Malfoy Manor.

The prophecy is destroyed. Harry Potter has escaped. The Minister, idiot that he is, won’t be able to deny Voldemort’s presence now that he’s seen him firsthand.

It has been a shite evening, in short.

Then there is the matter of his soulmate. Ginevra Weasley.

“It’s always you, isn’t it?”

Even his new body, freshly formed out of the cauldron, had borne those words. The ones that, no matter how many horcruxes he’d made, had stayed firmly printed above his hip. Years ago, he’d thought they would disappear when he made the ring, then the cup, the locket. He’d wondered why he lost those first words but not the second set.

Now, of course, it all makes sense.

Well. He’s still not quite sure why magic has deemed some scrawny, red-haired chit deserving of Lord Voldemort.

Draco Malfoy is a well of information. Largely useless information, granted, but information all the same.

She’s a quidditch player, apparently, and—according to Draco—nearly as good a seeker as Potter. She’s got a mean bat-bogey hex and a short temper, but on the whole, she’s a year below Malfoy, so he doesn’t know much.

“Oh, but—” and here the boy pauses, pales, and swallows nervously “—she was…uh…the one who nearly died. In…in the Chamber of Secrets.”

Draco looks like he’s worried Voldemort will curse him for that, but really he’d gotten all—okay, most—of his frustration over that spectacular disaster over with when he’d first heard Lucius had given away his fucking diary.

But he didn’t know Ginevra was the one his horcrux had almost killed.

My horcrux that took my first soulmark, he thinks, and something in the back of his brain clicks.

“It’s always you, isn’t it?” she had said. Always. Because they’d met before.

She was both his marks.

**********

“I had—have—a second mark,” she tells Harry, because he obviously knows something is up. They’re sitting together up at the astronomy tower. It’s one of those nights where the dreams creep in and she wishes she had the memory of Gryffindor’s sword in her hands. She wishes she’d been the one to kill Tom all those years ago. Wishes she could kill Voldemort now.

But that, apparently, is Harry’s job.

Despite the fact that she’s pretty sure he’s already guessed the truth, and despite the fact that she knows he won’t judge her for it—he didn’t judge her for Tom, he won’t judge her now—she can’t stand to say it aloud.

She shows him the words on her side instead.

Don’t be stupid, girl. Give it here.

“I…I tried to get rid of them,” she whispers into the night when the silence stretches too long. “Why is it him?”

Harry wraps her in a hug that’s just shy of smothering.

“I don’t know,” he says. “I’m sorry, Ginny. I’m so fucking sorry.”

**********

Dumbledore is dead. It’s only a matter of time before the ministry falls. Lord Voldemort is more powerful now than he’s ever been.

He can’t stop looking at his soulmark.

It is ridiculous, he tries to tell himself. Lord Voldemort has no use for a soulmate, no want for one either. And certainly not one that’s a mudblood-loving bint fighting for the enemy.

He should kill her and be done with it. It’s not as though he can just leave her be.

But.

But for all that Voldemort has remade himself into something near-godly, there is still an orphan boy somewhere inside of him that used to steal the things he coveted, that used to collect what little treasures could be found in Wool’s and keep them close.

Once, he saw his soulmarks and thought, There is someone made to be mine.

And that?

That’s a temptation he cannot quite pass up.

Surprise reminder I am not in fact dead. Happy whatever. I’m brainspewing a bunch of aus, mostly DC/batfam and Harry Potter atm and wanted to share some of my favorite moments from the HP planning sessions. These are... sort of from the same story? It’s evolved enough that I could split it into multiple stories based off which update/version it’s from.

Welcome to my Regulus Black Survives and ends up Raising Harry au that eventually melted into a very fun Twin Au that I hope I finish.

Harry: I CAN DESTROY HORCRUXES BY BLEEDING ON THEM

Reg also sends him with a communication mirror because it's been four or five years, he's not going to be so callous as to deny he loves his kid.

So they, being 12 and dumb, end up going in after her/him.

Upon seeing Riddle leave the diary, Harry and Theo, who were raised by a Black and a Nott respectively, freaked. Theo didn't know what it was for sure, but could tell it was Bad, and Harry saw 75.9% sure it was a horcrux because really. What else can a person materialize out of?

Riddle proceeds to monologue about how he hadn't expected this, Slytherins and Gryffindors working together? And aren't you a Nott? I wonder how your forefathers would feel. Etc. While Harry and Theo dodge the curses and continue to try to destroy the diary.

"How can you be so powerful if you were defeated by a baby?!"

The Basilisk ends up trying to listen to both of them, and then Connor tries to help, and Riddle tries to kill Harry w/ Ukri and Connor tries to take Riddle down, and Theo is darting around and tripping Ukri and Riddle up, while Ron has given up on his wand and is trying to wrestle Riddle, which leaves Harry again to take the diary.

When Sirius breaks out, Harry makes a lot of comments about just… cutting off his left arm. After all, no dark mark, no loyalty to the cause. Crippled, even if he was a loyal follower before. This is also his first elective year, which means that Reg sends him an old prosthetic to unravel for Ancient Runes. Draco screams when Harry gets an arm in the mail.

Also Theo gets kidnapped by Sirius summer of 95 after he runs away to escape becoming a baby Death Eater. It's in broad daylight and causes so much panic

("I was wondering what that unholy shriek was" "a horcrux dying,")

This leads to all sorts of hijinks because due to it being accidental, young, and without due process or practice, Fay is essentially an inferi. Except she still has a soul. It's weird. The necromancy-gone-sideways means that they're bonded.

Neville Longbottom and the Suspicious Letters - the Godbrother letters begin!!

“I thought my brother was supposed to be raising you.” “I can go?” “Absolutely not, someone has to keep you alive.”

Regulus is a panicked box of nerves who accidentally acquired a child who should by all rights be his brother’s, and now he has to keep him

Harry grew up around Reg who has Very Dangerous Magic™ all over the house, and has the time of his life watching things blow up

“Harry you’re going to singlehandedly give me grey hairs”

“Honestly if it wouldn’t get more attention than I need I’d just kidnap you, they’re such horrid guardians. And I’m a Black, so that’s saying something!

(The Black Family Madness isn't inherited, it's learnt)

Adrian is a mortician because I really liked the idea of a murder basement except no one has ever actually died in the basement.

Fay Dunbar vs the natural order

Neville Longbottom and the wallflower society

Charlie and Ginny Weasley are Parselmouths bc it makes me happy

Happy Hogwarts day, Harry! Or should it be Happy Hogwarts Hour, Harry? Since you like alliteration? (I clearly remember Mass-Machete-Murderer). I’m sad there’s no chance of running into you in diagon today, but hey! Hogwarts is coming soon! And then we can hang out whenever, right? Well, maybe not whenever. I guess we’d have to attend classes and make more friends. But otherwise! No more sneaking around! Unless you're a Slytherin. Then there might be some sneaking. But not as much! (Have we talked about that yet? I’m pretty sure I’m a shoe-in for Gryffindor, but… yeah. If you’re not, that’s completely okay!) (^letter between Harry and the Other Potter Twin(tm) )

Hey, Harry. Mum just learned you’re a wizard (forgot to ask how, sorry, I’m sure she’ll tell you later) and has decided you need to come live in the wizarding world with us. I didn’t tell her anything. You and your Axe-bear uncle need to figure something out and fast. I’ll see what stalling I can do. XX, your lovely brother. (On the upside, we get 2 c e/o b4 Spt1!) (^Another actual letter from version 2-3 of this au)

"You know," Theo says to Conner at one point. "It's a bit like Harry was raised by a Black." Conner shrugs. "He was raised by an ex-death eater with one arm. Close enough." Theo does research and pretty much just figures that whenever Harry says he was raised by a dead man, he means legally. Theo puts his money on Regulus Black early on.

Theo’s a very smart cookie

Harry also writes letters to Regulus using a constantly changing code which is really just pop culture references.

We have a bunch of parselmouths this generation. See: Charlie Weasley, Ginerva Weasley. Henry Potter/Peverell. Connor Potter. Fay Dunbar/Black. (Also, Theo Nott, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, and a few others learn it for the sake of keeping up with them). Bry is… one of those groups.

Bryony becomes a Basilisk Breeder

There are five prophecy children bc I can

‘Tuney rushed out “He's not here." No duh, Connor thought but didn’t say. He hoped the adults had a plan for this, because if Harry and Connor had to come up with stories on their own (lie to their parents) there was no way it would end well. Three years of letters and visits and Connor still didn’t have a name for Harry’s adult figure. He wondered morbidly if that was going to change today.’

‘Connor decided with a new thread of despair that yep, the adults were going to be lying to each other for the foreseeable future. Ugh.‘

‘When Reg catches Barty, the only one who does, neither of them attack. "Why, Barty?" "What else can I do?" "Join us?" "That won't be safe. Won't be fair. I'm trying to send one of those boys to their death." "You're also helping keep them alive. Let me get you out." Barty switches allegiances that night. The moment he has a choice.’

There are a lot of people who are willing to step away from Voldemort but don’t know how. They got in over their heads decades ago and now they’re stuck.

That doesn’t mean they’ll sit around and watch their kids make the same mistakes.

ardent, I have a real rough question to ask you. is it worth it to read hs^2? Ive been avoiding reading it because I didnt want to ruin what I loved about homestuck, but seeing the amount of art and interaction makes me feel like I'm missing out. I know it's not going to be good, but do I still take the risk? are there homestuck fanprojects you'd suggest instead?

An anon asked: Hi, may I ask what is your opinion of fan creation inspired from Homestuck? I'm not the biggest fan of where homestuck is heading but was wondering on your opinions of fan comics. I'm leaning towards reading them over Homestuck2 because of some of the writing that Hussie and his team of writers have produced in Homestuck2 feels off and a bit weird for Homestuck. (Ps. Have a lovely day.)

I forgot to answer the anon when I first got it, but since both mention fanvantures, I’ll combine the two!

I would absolutely not recommend reading HS^2, personally. There’s just a lot wrong with it that I genuinely don’t like and am deeply uncomfortable with. Futanari Jade making Rose cheat on Kanaya to have a baby she then completely abandoned is really just the tip of the iceberg, from what I’ve read and seen; there’s also just an outright lack of care for triggers (the warnings for which were taken off chapter by chapter, so you’ve got no idea what you’re going into anymore) and so much bullshit around facts from Homestuck not being taken into consideration during writing (for instance, Rose tells Terezi about the Exiles despite Terezi being the one who told Dave about them back in Act 5).

It’s uncomfortable, sloggish, uncaring, actively written to ruin Homestuck for fans, and overall just unpleasant to read. Not only is it a bad continuation, it’s just bad fiction in general. Some of this of course is exacerbated by the writers themselves, which is another reason I refuse to read it; I do not want to support them in any capacity.

I wouldn’t say you’re missing out. There’s some genuinely interesting things in HS^2, but a lot of it is overshadowed by how bad it is. That’s why I stopped reading, personally. You could always give it a go, see what you think and if you can handle it or if it appeals to you - because it’s different for everyone! Some people genuinely like it, and that’s okay, too - but I wouldn’t recommend it.

If you read the Epilogues just fine, you should be okay? But if they were rough for you to read, I’d definitely say HS^2 will be worse. You can still enjoy the content on the peripheral, though; for instance, acejams/sarcasmprodigy draws some HS^2 bits, but only really the designs that she likes. Consuming fan content while avoiding the comic itself is no issue, as far as I can tell.

That said, I’d 100% recommend reading fanventures. There’s a lot of benefits to them, actually!

Firstly, since they’re made by fans doing it for free, there’s a lot of love that goes into them. You know that what you’re getting is going to some degree be a homage to Homestuck, and that even if it’s an AU or divergent somehow, it’s still going to be loyal to characters you love.

There’s a lot less - and I mean a lot less - bullshittery in fanventures than HS^2 proper. It’s done for fun, for love! It’s going to connect with you, as a fan, a little more, because it’s literally written by fans for fans; by people who know what the fandom wants because they’re actively part of it.

Also, the writers don’t want to ruin the characters, so that’s an incredible bonus.

That said, here are a few fanventures I’d recommend:

SOULSTUCK: A fanventure that takes place in the Soul Eater universe, following Roxy and Dirk as they work towards getting that sweet, sweet final Witch soul to become a proper duo. I haven’t read too much of it, but the art is beautiful, the writing is well in character, and it’s also pretty faithful to the original Soul Eater while staying uniquely Homestuck, too.

Guidestuck: A pretty wellknown fanventure that started up again recently, following a kidswap universe where the kids’ initial sprite prototypings (the Harlequin doll, Jaspers, Bec, and Cal) are the kids (Cal Strider, Bec Harley, Quinn Egbert, Jaspers Lalonde), and our kids are their associated items (John’s a plush toy; Bro and Dave are dolls; Jade is a puppy; Rose is a cat). Also features a very unique look at what Alternia would be like if the lusii were the sapient species, and the trolls the symbiotic one.

TLCstuck: Double Death of the Author: A fairly interesting redo of Homestuck, taking control of the narrative a little after Game Over - so, essentially completely changing the story of Homestuck partway through Act 6. There’s a FAQ to give you more information - on how it’s written, how it’s changed, and how it works overall.

Note for TLCstuck, though; it’s very explicitly ship-neutral. This means that although characters’ sexualities remain the same, no actual shipping generally happens in the comic. It also, since it continues from Game Over, doesn’t have a lot of the content that occurred in the Retcon timeline - including DaveKat and Davepeta (alongside the other combosprites). Keep this in mind on whether or not you want to read it, but I think it’s still a good read regardless.

Act 8: Might be one you’ve seen in the tags before! Unsurprisingly, it picks up after Act 7, and works a little like TLCstuck in that it changes the narrative from that point on. Just before the kids can go through the door to Earth C, the white door explodes. It’s animated beautifully, drawn amazingly well, and is well written! If you want to continue Homestuck’s story with the Retcon changes, this would be best for you to read.

Well, that, or...

Act Omega: Like Act 8, it picks up after Act 7, only this time before they can claim their reward, a foe we’ve seen before appears to take the win from their grasp. It’s incredibly well animated and drawn from what I’ve seen so far, with an amazing initial fight sequence. It’s well written, and even from a cursory read-through, they reintroduce most of the main characters (including the Alpha trolls) for a second try at characterisation. Pretty nifty!

Homestuck: Subscript: I know significantly less about this one, except that there is some gorgeous art and design in it. It’s an interesting take compared to the others, since it actually happens on Earth C - so it’s more of a HS^2 replacement than anything else I’ve shown so far. It’s also incredibly different, though, and takes a little more a of a Candy route in so far as it focuses a lot more on relationships. It depends on your tastes!

Karkat goes to a Convention: Everything I know about this comes from a friend talking about it. It’s entirely satirical, I think, and a bit of a pisstake more than anything else? It’s quite literally what it says; actual Homestuck Karkat ends up at a normal, everyday convention. From what I understand it does get more detailed and involved as it goes on, but it’s also good for laughs.

Abodebound: A webcomic a friend of mine wrote! It’s a completely original fanventure, essentially a fansession. There’s music and animation, as well as Homestuck-eqsue writing and original comedy, and some really sweet videos. I’ve never read it all the way through (life’s a bitch like that) but it’s what inspired me to create my own fanventure, and for something completely original but with the same feel as Homestuck, it’s pretty spot-on.

Also, though it’s never been finished, what little exists of Heinoustuck is a delicious treat if you’re into horror. And Prequel -or- Making A Cat Cry: The Adventure is a really good Skyrim comic done in the old Homestuck style. Definitely NOT Homestuck, but it’s got the same art and humour, as well as games and animation - so it’s pretty sweet to look into, if nothing else.

Any tips on how to write a good fanfic?? How do you do to write??

Hello, hello, hello! Thank you so much for your question!

Before I begin, always remember that rules for writing or any other form of art are not set in stone. There are many variables and situations where people can follow the rules, discard the rules, or simply bend and tweak them. If what I'm saying doesn't resonate with you, that's completely fine! Every writer is different and the methods that writers use will always differ and contradict each other so long as creativity and ingenuity still exist.

Anywhoozles, when writing anything, I think you should get the basics down. Basically, make sure you're well acquainted with what language you're using, the grammar and spelling of said language, and how you want to present your story.

Furthermore, you should also have a solid grasp on what fandom you're trying to write for. Are you trying to write for a certain character, fix a plot hole that irks you, or you want to write something that happens to take place in that universe? Make sure you do your research first (unless, of course it's an au or something close to that nature).

What I'm trying to say is that, form a foundation first before building your skyscraper. Once you have your foundation, you can move on to stories that are not only readable, but enjoyable as well.

Writing is a good way to practice your linguistic skills, but make sure whenever you're posting things for people to read, a lot of your readers will thank you if it's written in a way that is meant to be understood, and not just to astound.

When I was younger, I used the thesaurus A LOT. Generally, you don't need to use big or fancy words to illustrate a point, especially if you're writing for an audience that would be far used to language meant for the average person. HOWEVER, there may be times when it is appropriate to use terms or jargon that is far more suited to a niche audience.

This goes back to my previous tip: do your research first. Maybe the character you're writing for is L from Death Note or Dr. Stein from Soul Eater. Chances are, they might use terminology that might fly over the heads of most people (which is okay and completely in character for them!). Just be sure to not overdo it and if necessary, prepare a glossary of terms in an addendum at the end of the chapter or story. (Again, I like to reiterate, it all depends on context, rules can be broken, and every writer is different! Feel free to experiment!)

Know your audience and what genre of story you want to present. If you want to tell a humorous story, use words and phrases that elicit laughter. If you want to make a horror, be sure to use language that accurately depicts the situation. There's probably tons of posts that deal with this tip thoroughly, but the crux of it is this: use language that illustrates the tone, the theme, or the setting of what you want to display to the audience.

Another tip: show don't tell. This is actually something that I've seen time and time again on many blogs dedicated to writing fiction. To immerse your readers, you need to show them the setting, the characters, how their characters behave, etc. It can be hard, but try picturing your story in your head. Use your five senses: what can you see? hear? touch? taste? feel?

Instead of saying that a character felt cold say something like this: She shivered as she opened the door, the sudden gust of wintry wind blowing back her curly locks.

Again, tons of posts dedicated to this, but I would also like to say that sometimes you don't need show, don't tell. Sometimes, you have to tell the audience what's happening. This is dependent on context, pacing, etc. (Try to moderate between show and tell aspects of the story, but in general, if you want to immerse the readers in the story, use show. If you want the plot to move forward, move from showing and sprinkle in a little telling).

I actually have problems with pacing, hehehe.

Hmm, what else?

As for the things taken straight from the material you're working with... Let's play with the characters.

Research.

Characters, no matter the format (be it in visual or written form), will always have their specific traits, mannerisms, and behaviors. Do they curl their hair around their fingers when bored? Do they pace and fidget when bored? Do they have specific tics or an accent when speaking? What are they like?

Now, you don't always have to stick to canon traits. In certain circumstances, characters can evolve and form new behaviors and mannerisms. Perhaps you evolve your character from a shy person to one that has grown and had become braver. Maybe a villain becomes redeemed. How would that reflect on their personalities and their mannerisms? Their way of speaking, their thoughts?

When in doubt, try imagining how they would act and react in your head. If you can hear their voice and seemingly imagine them, then you might be on the right track.

Lastly...

HAVE FUN.

Seriously. There's no wrong or right way to write fanfiction. Write for fun. Write for yourself. Follow the rules, break the rules, make your own rules. As long as you're having fun, then do it! Don't be shy to post your work! Share your creativity with others! Trust me, you might be more talented than you think.

But above all else:

Write for yourself, but edit for your audience. :D

Thanks again for your question! I know it's a bit long, but I'm truly passionate over the art of creating fanfiction. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask or check out some famous writing blogs. There are a lot of resources: don't be afraid to reach out! Or experiment.

NOTE: The list will expand as my interests grow. For now, though, this is the allowed anime.

Now, onto the rules.

Types of Writing:

HEADCANONS: These are typical, very straightforward. Bulletpoints that consist of content.

5 characters (MAX)

SCENARIOS: These are more story-based and will not exceed too long. I would compare them to drabbles somewhat, but I will not cut them too short.

2 characters (MAX)

DRABBLES: Short in length, will range around 1,100 words or less. These will primarily be based on prompts.

3 characters (MAX)

IMAGINES: Long works that will be story-based. Number of words will not be ranged, and details will be very much there.

1 character (MAX)

What I WILL NOT write:

NON-CON: I do not stand for anything of the sort, and I will ask that anybody requesting refrain from requesting anything of this sort. This is not only an uncomfortable topic, but an illegal one, and while illegal topics are not off the board - this one is.

EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT: I will write for suggestive content, but I reserve the right to deny any of this type. While this may change in the future, I do not feel comfortable writing this kind of content at the moment. This is primarily reserved for any requests that state anything in regards to kinks, sexual acts, etc. (If you want something suggestive, please indicate.)

TOO MANY CHARACTERS: If you see above, I have marked how many characters I will allow per writing type request. Anymore than the maximum number will be denied.

INCEST: Do I have to explain why I won’t write this type of content? This is disgusting and outright disturbing, and I would like to keep my mind out of that realm.

OMEGAVERSE: Too in depth, too time consuming. I have a lot of other activities, and if you want a specific request, I will do the best that I can in regards to research. Otherwise, this particular request has an extensive history and intake of knowledge

UNDERAGE RELATIONSHIPS: This is unlawful and disgusting, and it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. (This includes teacher and student relationships.)

ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS: This whole topic is something that is very disturbing and very much scary. It is also for a primary of the character being an abuser. I will not write the characters as abusers in relationships due to respect for the creators and the readers.

CHARACTER X CHARACTER: This is meant for direct request. Unless this is a small detail in a different request, this is not going to be permitted. Ship who you want, but I do not write explicitly for ships.

What I WILL write:

SUGGESTIVE CONTENT: All characters will be aged up if underage, and will not go into (hopefully) too extreme detail. I will include the content under cut for reader discretion.

SIBLING/PARENT FIGURE: This is specifically for a platonic/guardian-based relationship. This will not include any romance, but rather revolve around the familial aspect.

‘AU’S: Though I still reserve the right to deny certain AUs, I am not against any of these being requested. In fact, I love AUs, and writing them can be so much fun.

VIOLENCE: This is going to be worrying, but if violence is requested, I am fine with including it. This is going to be done in detail (if the request calls for it), and will be indicated with a disclaimer at the beginning of the requested piece.

ANGST: This is limited to certain things, of course, but if you want to ask for an angsty piece, go ahead.

MENTAL DISORDERS/MEDICAL CONDITIONS/BODY SPECIFICATIONS: These can be very messy, but I will do research to fulfill your request the best way I can. If I do manage to misconstrue the topic, don’t hesitate to tell me. (I know that this is a sensitive topic, so I want to be able to get it right.)

HORROR: This is where I will be willing to bend a few things, typically for yandere plots and things of a similar vein. I love to write this kind of thing, but this also means that the limits will be pushed, so if you want to request this, proceed with caution.

NOTE: All of my works will be written with gender neutral default, so if you want a male or female reader, then specify.

EMERGENCY REQUESTS:

This is for the moments when you need something written. Generally follows the same circumstances written above, but there are a few differences.

RESPONSE TIME: This is going to be within the span of a week. It is a slight long shot, but since I am unaware of the urgency of the requester’s request, this will be the general time span in which this will be written. This is subject to change over time, though.

REQUEST LIMITS: There will be none for things of this sort, but I will have to cap them off if there are too many coming in. I don’t want to do so, but it will have to happen if things get too overwhelming. (Again, this is only in the situation that these requests become overwhelming.) I want to make sure that these pieces are good and well-thought out so the requester(s) can enjoy them and find comfort in them, and I can’t do that when overwhelmed.

LABELING: When requesting for an emergency request, please label it as such. I don’t want to lump things of this sort in with the others since the requester may want it as soon as possible, and the regular requests typically tend to take me a week or more to write.

NOTE: All other rules above apply to this as well, though I would suggest that you read them through and decide what you want since the more characters, the longer to write it will take.

With that being covered, I will say that, aside from the portion dedicated to what I refuse to write, I am a pretty laid-back person. If you want to request for a reader dealing with an abusive ex, then go for it! A specific AU in which the reader and character are dealing with weird occurrences? Go ahead!

Like I said, I’m down for a good amount of things, but that also means that I will reserve my right to deny a request.

Soul Eater [1]

[A/n : no one asked for this but I'm doing it anyway]

[Disclaimer : Do not feel like you need to be in a romantic relationship to be happy or to no longer feel lonely. Yes, I understand others are capable of making you happy but if you go out looking for a relationship for the sole purpose of just being in a relationship or because you’re the only one in your friend group that’s single at the end of it you’ll just end up worse than when the whole charade started.]

Pairing : Jung Yunho / [fem] Reader

Genre : Angst, Violence, Language, Fluff, Future Smut, Character Death?, Demon!AU

Words : 2.3k

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

-Yunho's P.O.V-

I sat back as I watched all my friends with their significant others. I scoffed bitterly when I saw the small lingering touches or looks they'd give each other. Okay, so I was bitter about being alone but if at least one of my friends was single I don't think it would've been much of a problem but no. Every single one of them had someone...all except me. I don't even know why I always agree to go out with them when it always ended up with me feeling sorry for myself.

"I think imma head home now...I'll text you guys later." I grumbled out as I rose from my seat, downing the last of my drink.

I turned on my heel and left, ignoring their calls for me. The cool night air felt nice compared to the stuffy air in the bar. I sighed heavily, stuffing my hands into my pockets as I made my way home. I don't remember when I became so bitter about being single, I used to not care a few years ago but now it was like I did a whole 180. I think my age has something to do with it but I'm only twenty-four. I guess seeing everyone my age in relationships has me feeling like I should be in one too, which by the way was complete bulshit.

Maybe I was just feeling extra bitter because my last relationship...well it didn't end well. All we did was fight and...fight some more. I can't even remember if I was even happy at all through that whole relationship. She was overly jealous and demanding and I apparently wasn't there for her enough. I rolled my eyes at just the thought of her, my annoyance doubling.

"Ah screw it!" I shouted, kicking at a rock that lay in my path.

I watched it go flying, my eyes going wide when it hit someone in the shin. I quickly started apologizing, closing the distance between us to make sure she was okay. I recognized her the moment I looked at her face. Y/N...she lived in the apartment above mine. She was a bit of the grumpy type, I don't think I've ever seen her smile let alone heard her laugh. That thought always made me frown since she was beyond beautiful. What could've happened to make a girl like her such a grouch?

"If you're going to throw a tantrum try making sure no one's around." She said in a bored tone of voice, looking down at her shin for a moment before looking back into my eyes, "You know, not only are you embarrassing yourself it's embarrassing for anyone else watching."

And with that she left, walking into our apartment building. I stared after her, my mouth hanging open. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think I was just insulted. I scoffed, combing my fingers through my hair before following after her. I squeezed through the elevator doors just as they were closing, pressing my floor number before turning to her. She didn't even look me in the eye as she stared at the closed elevator doors with an expressionless look on her face.

"I wasn't throwing a tantrum...I just got annoyed for a second."

She remained silent for a second, her eyes still focused on the closed doors in front of her. I thought she was just going to ignore me when she finally met my gaze.

"Why are you explaining yourself to me? It's not like I care."

I opened my mouth to respond but immediately closed it. As I stared at her I was unaware that the elevator doors had opened.

"Aren't you getting off?"

Her question threw me off guard as I looked around, finally realizing that it was my turn to get off. I quickly got off before the doors closed. If I had been a few seconds later I would've had to ride the elevator up then come back down. I continued to stared at her, unable to take my eyes off her face. Just as the doors were about to close shut a smirk found its way onto her face, an amused look shining in her eyes.

…...

"For the last time I'm not going, Mingi." I all but yelled through the phone.

I had the phone on speaker, my hands preoccupied. I set my jaw at the chuckle that came through the phone. It wasn’t even a chuckle, it was more of a snicker. That asshole…

“What? Don’t like being reminded of how lonely you are?” He teased, the others chuckling at his words

“Fuck you, Song Mingi.”

That was all I said before hanging up, throwing my phone across the couch and continuing the game I was in the middle of when he called. But his words just pissed me off so much I wasn’t able to concentrate.

-Y/N’s P.O.V-

I lay on the couch, not doing anything in particular, mindlessly staring up at the ceiling as I tried to clear my mind of any and all thoughts. Or at least that was the plan until I heard loud cursing coming up through the floor. I groaned out loudly, turning onto my side and stared at the floor with a glare, that idiot. I waited for him to stop but he just seemed to get louder with each passing second. It was only when he had been going at it for a full minute did I knock against the floorboards loudly.

“Yo, 305! Shut up before I come down there and shut you up myself!” I shouted, immediately hearing a timid apology followed by silence.

I sighed, turning on my back once again, laying my arm over my eyes. It had been quiet for a good ten minutes before I heard him at it once again but louder this time. I ground my teeth together and sprang up from the couch. Grumbling to myself I angrily put on my shoes before making my way down to his apartment, slamming my door loudly behind me. I skipped the last three steps and jumped down, turning the corner to where his door stood. I didn’t hold back as I banged against the door loudly, the door shaking at the force I was using. I didn't stop until he opened the door.

"Look I don't know why you're yelling and frankly I don't care. But keep it down. Some of us are trying to sleep!"

"It's two in the afternoon…"

"I don't care what time it is! Keep it the hell down, 305, before I shut you up for good." I spat out before turning on my heel and beginning to walk away.

"I have a name you know."

I froze in my tracks, my hands clenched into fists at my side. Before I could stop myself I turned back around and marched back to his door. A look of panic crossed his features as he closed the door just before I got to him. I kicked at the door in annoyance, hearing the lock clicking.

"Don't get smart with me now, 305. I assure you you'll come to deeply regret it. So keep it down if you know what's good for you." I threatened him through my teeth.

And you don't want me to know your name because the moment I do...it's over for you.

With that thought I turned on my heel and went back upstairs, taking the stairs two at a time. Once I was back at my place I plopped back down onto the couch, sighing heavily. I closed my eyes, trying to get back to that calm and comfortable state I was in earlier but it was easier said than done. I sighed once more but this time it was out of frustration. I sat back up, stomping my foot on the floor quite loudly to signal to that idiot that I was still pissed. Well there goes my one day of lazing around. I had been working non stop these last few weeks and today was the only day I had where my schedule completely empty. If I had known life would be this stressful I never would've become a-

"I'm telling you man, my neighbor, she is trying to kill me! I wasn't even being that loud and she came down here banging on my door like a madwoman!"

I looked down at the floorboards at the sound of his voice, listening intently to what he was saying. It's not like I really cared what he thought of me though. He could think the worst of me and I still wouldn't have it in me to care.

"Dude, I swear to God my life flashed before my eyes."

I flinched at the word 'God', a chill running down my spine. I exhaled deeply through my nose as I rose from my seat, ignoring whatever the hell he kept blabbing about and heading for the kitchen. I had just made it to the counter when my surroundings suddenly changed. I looked around with a bored expression before sighing heavily, catching a glimpse of my true appearance in the glass across from me.

"Why does someone always have to call for me even on my day off? I'm not the only damn demon in this city you know." I murmured, staring into my own reflection, my pitch black eyes staring back at me.

I let out a soft sigh, closing my eyes for a moment and tilted my head from side to side, stretching the wings on my back, "Now, what do you want?" I asked, getting straight to the point, examining my black claws absentmindedly.

“I...I…”

I looked up, my eyes meeting hers. She flinched when our eyes met, taking a step back. Ah, this must be her first time. She must not know that I can’t touch her...at least not with this damn pentagram in tact. I smirked, a mischievous look crossing my features, That doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun, right? Without a word I stretched out a wing, the end of it almost touching her face when she fell back, a yelp falling from her lips. I couldn’t help but chuckle at the pure terror that was on her face. With a grin I crouched down in front of her, hugging my knees to my chest, I reached out a hand but she dragged herself back pretty quickly.

“D-Don’t come any closer…” She barely managed to get out, her voice trembling with every word.

I frowned at her words, letting my hand fall back to my side. I poked the inside of my cheek with my tongue, her words irritating me. She’s the one that summoned me yet she doesn’t want me to come any closer? Humans…

“Fine. What do you want? You still haven’t told me yet and my time is very precious.” I said in a firm and serious voice.

She stayed silent for a moment, as if trying to remember what she called me for. It didn’t really take her long to remember, the look in her eyes darkened significantly, her hands clenched into fists. She pushed herself off the ground and stood in front of me, a determined look on her face. I couldn’t help but smirk as I too stood to my full height, silently waiting for her to speak.

“My step-sister...I want her gone. She’s always getting all the attention and praise and I get tossed aside every time. Even my own father favors her over me.”

I raised a brow at hearing her words, my eyes finally seeing her aura. Ah...it’s green...and very dark. This is a common feeling among those that summon me. At least half of them ask me to get rid of someone because they want the attention all to themselves. I sighed for what seemed like the umpteenth time today, actually feeling sorry for people like her. Pity and a bit of anger were all I felt for these humans who thought summoning me was their last hope in life. It angers me because the price they pay for what they ask for is far too great. And to see them agree to my deals for something so trivial...they don't know how good they have it.

"Fine. But I'm sure you know I require something in exchange…"

"I'll do anything! Just please...help me."

I gave her one last look before closing my eyes for a moment, "What's your name?"

"Yonomori Momo."

"Momo...kindly undo this pentagram. Even just disrupting the line by smudging it will allow me to leave. But as of right now I can't even step over it without experiencing excruciating pain and I'd rather not go through that today."

"But your wings…"

"Ah. These wings are just a mere extension of myself...it doesn't really count if these go over but if let's say my leg or hand went over…" I trailed off, hoping she got my point.

“But still…”

I sighed, again, rubbing a hand over my forehead as I looked at her in exasperation, “Look, I’ll bring up these issues at the next demon meeting but right now I need to get out of here so I can seal our deal and get rid of that step sister of yours. So are you going to let me out or not?”

She hesitated for a moment before smudging the line with her foot. The moment she did that I finally felt free. I stretched my arms up high towards the sky and stepped out of the now ruined pentagram. I gave her a smirk and placed my hands on her shoulders.

"Yonomori Momo, your soul is now mine." I said with a grin, my blacks eyes sucking her in and trapping her in my gaze.

[A/N : I still haven’t figured out how often I’ll be updating this but I’ll let y’all know by the end of the week.]

Love and Legends Harry Potter Witch AU

Okay so starting this off I was inspired by @musicfeedsmysoul12 headcanon for Harry Potter MC which is located here

I had started this prior to whole JK Rowling tweets, and do not condone it. What she said was wrong and honestly the fact that pretty much everyone else involved in the Harry Potter franchise (at least major actors, etc.) have condemned what she said says something about her. I still wanted to show what I wrote for this headcanon. If you have any questions, feel free to dm me.

This is a bit long so it’s under the Read More.

August Falke

MC was in the Gryffindor house. She is a muggle-born witch who was in Hogwarts during the second Wizarding War. She went into hiding in her second year due to Voldemort taking over but was found.

Her parents were killed and she was captured by a Death-Eater. She managed to escape a month before the end of the war. She has PTSD over this and has occasional nightmares. When she does she usually places silencing charms on herself to not disturb anyone.

She returned to and continued her education in Hogwarts after the war ended. Her final year she joined the exchange program and went to Ilvermorny. She found she liked it better there, as memories of her family were no longer prominent. After graduation, she moved to Chicago and began to train as a healer there.

Her wand is made of Blackthorn wood, has a Unicorn hair for a core and is 13’’. It is a dark color intricately carved and is supple.

While she has a broom, she never played Quidditch. She just keeps one because her dad always joked that a witch should have a broom.

She races August on Wyndsor a lot for fun.

Only once has she managed to convince him to ride the broom with her. Only once and he vowed never again.

Her patronus was initially a falcon, but later became a horse.

She does not tell August right away what the change means, and is blushing so much when she witnesses it happen

She has an owl she named Icarus who is a Scops owl

It takes her and August a little longer to get along because of his suspicions and her magic. They are constantly arguing. MC sics Icarus on him a few times.

Icarus doesn’t like August for a long while either. MC literally has to have a talk with the owl when he keeps attacking the knight after they get together

August begins to trust her when he finds her working on making healing salves and potions or injured villagers. When asked how they would know if she wasn’t poisoning them, she cuts herself and puts a salve on herself, basically poisoning herself in the process if she did make a poison, then blandly asks if she can get back to work. Reiner and the other retainers find this hilarious, August not so much initially, though he later admits to her that he was mildly impressed by that.

After the ice crystal incident, and subsequently returning back to the castle, to prove she isn’t going to betray them, she gives them her wand. They don’t realize it’s the biggest sign of trust for her as she hasn’t let anyone touch her wand since she got it again after the second Wizarding War until much later.

She holds her items in a bag with an extension charm in it. It’s rather entertaining to see the other retainers' reactions to it.

She lets them try fire whiskey. Their reactions to it is hilarious.

‘It tastes like we’ve swallowed fire!’ ‘Yes that would be the point.’

MC begins to have nightmares of the Wizarding War again. She starts to put a silencing charm on herself so she doesn’t awaken August. At first August doesn’t notice, but when her lack of sleep begins to affect her, he does, resulting in him pretending to fall asleep and watching her. Witnessing her having a nightmare and realizing she had been going through this on her own was difficult to swallow.

After she returns from Chicago and when he’s still recovering from the stab wound, she finds that she can’t heal him either. It's an added frustration in that season because Reiner has asked MC to not tell August about his condition, and August thinks she’s punishing him for the whole thing.

She tries to heal him the best she can with potions and salves as a work around, but it's limited in success.

When they are going to locate August’s family on the coast, MC talks about the ghosts in Hogwarts and tells some of the stories from The Tales of Beedle and Bard most notably the tale of the Deathly Hallows.

She has to get used to how different some species look in comparison to what she’s met in her world.

The curse makes her using magic extremely painful, so she has to not use it. It feels like the ice is spreading into her veins faster, and is debilitating for her. She can use small amounts of healing magic to blunt the edge of the pain, but it barely works.

She gets serious deja-vu vibes from Regin and just thinks...THIS is what Ollivander would look like as a dwarf.

She understands the concept of a sword having to be right for its wielder, as it is like the wand choosing its master, and is as helpful as she can be with trying to help August find his sword.

That doesn’t mean she likes Aisetha any more than usual though.

MC and August visit the MACUSA headquarters to see if there is any curse like the WQ curse on her as well as see if she can locate Aisetha. To say he was stunned by the Wizarding World is an understatement.

August gets to meet a house-elf while there. He laughs when he realizes why MC had such a hard time believing Iseul was an elf. He also understands why she was so incredibly thrown and got so jealous by how mermaids looked in his realm.

Aisetha doesn’t like her that much and she and it argue. She threatens more than once to get the Sword of Gryffindor for August. Eventually they have a respect for each other, but still argue.

As a joke they discuss what school houses their kids would be in. She knows that if any of their kids have magic, they would probably learn magic in the fantasy realm.

She’s initially nervous about the idea of any of her children having magic, due to the Witch Queen. August is quick to assure he would love them and their magic.

MC says he would have been in Gryffindor and occasionally will call him ‘her lion’. It makes him blush. He calls her a lioness.

Saerys

MC was in the Hufflepuff house. She’s a muggle-born witch. She was adopted by a family in England after she was found wandering around with no memory of her family as a little girl. She was the youngest, with two brothers of her adoptive parents. The second son was magic as well, though he was an unknown when Voldemort took over. One night deatheaters attacked their home. Her brother in a fit of stress became an Obscurus and killed the Deatheaters and accidentally killed their parents before expiring as well. Her adoptive oldest brother blamed her for his parents and brother’s death, and they are estranged because of it. She moved to the states at age 13 and finished her schooling at Ilvermony in the exchange program.

She becomes a Herbologist. Usually Saerys can find her in the gardens if she’s not with him. Many of time when she’s upset he finds her there

Her wand is made of Cypress wood, with a phoenix feather core, and is 10’’. It is lightly colored, roughly carved with a flower in the end, and is springy.

She has a pet cat named Rune. A black cat that she adopted, it seems smarter than most cats she’s met. Runes adores Saerys and if she isn’t with MC, she is usually following him.

Her patronus is a Dolphin.

The turbo mode freaks her out due to her younger brother, but once Saerys gets control, she relaxes.

Saerys learns about Obscurus and that due to the trauma of the war, MC’s younger brother became one, dying as he took down several Deatheaters.

When she finds out about the WQ soul, she’s not thrilled to discover that she was basically created to be a horcrux.

She knows about them from Harry Potter.

Taking him to the MACUSA is interesting. MC compares him to a kid in the candy store. He’s looking around all over the place and is just so curious about this world and how it differs from human Chicago.

Her fellow herbologists are low-key jealous about Saerys.

When MC and Saerys are in Chicago, they run into her adoptive brother and his family who were on vacation. She basically drags Saerys away, even as her brother calls out to her.

Saerys and her talk about it as they’re getting coffee. Saerys doesn’t push her, but does say that maybe sometime she should try to talk to him again. He wouldn’t push her to do it though. She quietly considers it unsure if her brother even wants to talk to her.

Later when they return to Chicago again, she does meet up with him and they reconcile to a degree. MC isn’t sure if she’ll be able to return to Chicago, so she’s happy that she’s able to mend fences.

While MC is still jealous when learning about the mermaids and Saerys’s relationship, she is also incredibly confused because mermaids aren’t exactly the most attractive creatures in the Wizarding World.

Imagine her surprise when she meets the mermaids and realizes just why Saerys talked about them like that.

Well at least he wasn’t saying she was more attractive than mermaids from the Wizarding World. That would have been a backhanded compliment.

Her magic is changed for a little while after Saerys gives her a part of his soul. Because of this, her wand doesn’t work correctly. While it still does spells some of them don’t work. It isn’t until the middle of season 4 where her magic begins to work properly.

Saerys helps her find books about plants and flowers of the fantasy realm. He gets an ecstatic MC and a bunch of kisses.

He had a stupid grin on his face for hours after that.

She manages to recreate the dish that Saerys had talked about. It’s not exact, but she manages to get it somewhat close. It’s a thank you gift to him and he is just stunned.

He spends quite a while after thanking her for that in his own way.

He doesn’t understand why she has to hide her abilities in Chicago. When she explains why, he is rather angry at the idea of her being punished for something that is a part of her.

The possession thing freaks MC quite a lot, because possession is never a good thing in her book, especially if it’s the souls of a dead race.

She has a broom and used to be a Seeker. She takes Saerys out for a flight just to see if he likes it

It’s not his favorite, but he definitely doesn’t mind going on a flight. He still prefers to be on the ground, but will do it occasionally as an escape.

She warns her friends in Chicago and in England about the WQ.

The idea of children has Saerys a little nervous because the idea of having a little witch/wizard with demon qualities might be a lot. MC is quick to deny it and says even if that is the case, she would teach the kid how to use their abilities.

Altea Bellerose

MC was in the Slytherin house. She’s a pure-blood witch but rejected her family's ideals about muggleborn witches and wizards. She was disowned in her fifth year and worked odd jobs to support herself for the rest of her schooling. She moves right after graduating

She later becomes a Hit Witch and is known for being one who jumps into the fray the quickest. She was chasing after a perp when she was struck by the lightning that sent her to the fantasy realm

Her wand is made of Acacia wood with a Dragonheart string, and is 9’’. It is lightly colored, ornately carved, and is rather bendy

She has a pygmy puff for a pet that she’s named Georgie. He’s pink, which MC finds ironic when she starts dating Altea

Apparently she just attracts the color pink.

She played Quidditch in her youth and was a Beater. No one who knew her is surprised about her choice in career.

Her patronus is a Raven. MC finds it hilarious that Altea’s nickname fits.

MC has a slight rivalry with Altea in the beginning. She cannot for the life of her understand why the spells here are so much longer in incantation.

In contrast, Altea doesn’t understand how she could use spells with such a small staff (it’s a wand!!!)

They both prefer offense over defense, though MC does know defensive spells more than Altea.

MC tends to dive in front of attacks to protect Altea. Altea is not amused about it and constantly gives MC grief and worry over her for it.

When Altea starts to lecture her about it, MC usually asks if Altea would do the same, and Altea would blush and look away.

Meeting the parents is interesting. Due to being a pure blood, she is able to use that pedigree to her advantage. She doesn’t tell them that she’s been disowned, and thankfully they don’t ask for more details.

Lional absolutely finds her amazing and asks questions about the Wizarding World.

Speaking of the other world, Altea is stunned by the Wizarding World and how they keep their magic a secret. MC explains that the humans there will try to find excuses for the unexplained.

She loves looking into the library

She also nearly died of laughter when she meets a house-elf. It takes quite a long time for Altea to look at Iseul and not start laughing.

MC takes Altea flying and the pink-haired wizard LOVES it. She can not get enough of the flying and there are many dates that involve flying, especially when Altea gains her wings.

Reiner Wolfson

MC was in the Hufflepuff house. She’s a half-blood witch. She was in her second year when Voldemort took over.

She stayed behind to help with the battle despite her age and was nearby when Colin Creevy died. It had an impact on her and after she graduated she became an auror. She would later visit the states and actually like Chicago, deciding to stay there.

Her wand is made of Hornbeam wood with a Unicorn hair core and is 12’’. It is darkly colored, intricately carved and is considered unyielding

She has a snowy owl named Achilles.

When she calls for him to come back she says ‘Achilles heel!’. Reiner finds it hilarious, though there is much groaning to be had by the others.

She doesn’t wear the full armor, but does wear her auror robes with some of the armor pieces

She played Quidditch during her school years. She was a Chaser.

She basically drags Reiner out for a flight when he starts overworking himself. He actually enjoys it quite a lot.

Her patronus is a wolf

She does timidly suggest when they discover Aldric being alive that perhaps he’s under a spell, but she isn’t sure if they have spells like the Imperious Curse. Cue explanations on the Forbidden Curse.

Reiner is not happy when he finds out she was subjected to the Cruciatus curse when she was 12

Her father was non-magical and did not like the fact that his wife and daughter had magic and made it clear to both of them. It caused a lot of tension, and her mother partially blamed her for having magical abilities for her father hating her. It makes her nervous to marry, but she does love Reiner.

Her wand DOES NOT like when the WQ is partially possessing MC, and has a lot of issues. It causes MC to have to work on learning how to use a shield to compensate

When she finds Reiner and he doesn’t remember her, she goes through different spell books involving memory loss, but can’t find anything and doesn’t want to do any strange spells in case it possibly could hurt him.

Instead she tells Reiner what she is, showing him a simple spell, taking a leap of faith. All she sees is her mother and father and what happened between them.

As she inwardly panics, Reiner stands and pulls her close, thanking her for being honest and that it doesn’t change his feelings for her. She’s relieved.

She laughs in relief when the spell is broken by them marrying.

‘Professor Dumbledore always said love was the strongest magic there is. Guess he was right.’

She and he sneak into The MACUSA Security Department to get his armor. She pretty much breaks every rule to get the armor back.

Reiner is stunned by the Wizarding World and finds it beautiful. He asks her if she really wants to leave this. She kisses him and says she’s with him for better or worse. And she wants to stay by his side and he’s needed elsewhere.

Returning to the Fantasy Realm brings back memories to when Voldemort had taken over and she has to push back the childhood trauma from that. Thankfully Reiner is there and she’s able to focus on helping him.

She almost laughs at the irony of being a witch and marrying Reiner when he’s declared the next King.

The nobles apparently have the same thought and aren’t happy about it.

Reiner makes it clear that he’s marrying her and will not allow baseless rumors about her stand.

She does suggest making an Unbreakable Vow if it would ease the nobles' concerns, but when Reiner learns the stipulations as well as the risks, he shoots it down. He trusts her, the nobles will learn to deal with it.

Iseul Idreis

MC was in the Ravenclaw house. She’s a half-blood witch. Her mother was non-magical, and her father was a wizard. Her father left when she was young and her mother, unable to handle having a magical child, killed herself. She was raised in an orphanage after this. MC always felt guilty over what happened to her family.

She is a magizoologist. She’s very similar to Newt Scamander and has visited him multiple times. He helped her make her backpack to be similar as his suitcase, though it isn’t as elaborate as his.

Her wand is made of Chestnut with a Dragonheart string core and is 11’’. It is lightly colored, roughly carved and is rather flexible

While she has a cat named Leaf, she also has a Niffler she rescued. The Niffler attempts to steal items in the castle, much to MC’s dismay. The retainers and Reiner are...surprised and amused as MC shakes the Niffler to have it release all its loot.

Her patronus is an elk

She has a hard time believing he’s an elf, but keeps that thought to herself

Introducing Iseul to the creatures in her bag is almost amusing for MC. He is so enthralled by the creatures that she’s protecting.

A thunderbird is the newest of her collection and he seems to love Iseul. MC explains that hunters blinded one of the eyes and partially blinded the other. She had been able to rescue it and nurse it back to health, though she could never release him back into the wild.

Her and Iseul bond over the animals, her talking about the magical creatures in her world, him talking about the dragons in the Elf Kingdom

They have a lot of bonding time discussing the differences between her dragons and his dragons

She dislikes Jinhai ten times more due to her love of animals.

When they’re in Chicago, Iseul meets a house-elf that is MC’s landlord. He is...very much traumatized.

“That’s what you thought I should look like?!” “Well in my defense, I didn’t really have any other source to compare.”

The Idreis family actually wind up loving her due to her treatment of creatures.

You bet their butts they love MC’s bag as much as Iseul does

When Iseul is believed to be dead, the animals and creatures all get out of the bag and surround MC to comfort their protector and the child in her belly. They’ll protect MC in Iseul’s place if they need to. Thankfully that decision isn’t completely needed.

Iseul gets jumped by a lot of the creatures for cuddles

The WQ makes a mistake kidnapping MC. Because it’s not just Iseul that goes after her to rescue MC.

Iris and the Niffler become partners in crime. Mass chaos ensues.

Helena Klein

MC was in the Slytherin house originally before moving to America during the war and entering Ilvermorny, where she was placed in the Wampus House . She’s a muggleborn witch. Her parents are incredibly supportive of her and her magic. When Voldemort began to take over, her parents and her fled to the states.

She trained to be an obliviator and is quite skilled in it.

Her wand is made of Pear wood, with a Unicorn hair core and is 14’’. It is lightly colored, ornately carved and is considered reasonably springy.

She has a pet barn owl who she named Cleo. Cleo likes Helena, but prefers MC

Her patronus is a Lynx

Meeting Helena is...interesting. Her magic is so vastly different than hers, even with what Helena says that she is the WQ and MC trained her. MC highly doubts that.

MC talks about Chicago and the Wizarding World and Helena is fascinated by it.

MC grows concerned when she discusses her job and Helena wonders if she could make her forget certain memories.

MC is protective of Helena, especially in the Human realm, though Helena tries to keep MC from using magic.

When Helena loses her memories in Chicago, MC freaks. Because she can’t figure out what is wrong, and what spell was used and if there’s any counter-spell. She talks to her mother who calmly says to just get to know Helena again. The Helena that would have been had she not had magic or met the WQ. So she does.

When her memories return, MC can’t figure it out, but doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

When Alain is killed MC has to use several spells to calm Helena down, and puts a soft memory spell on her so she can think of good things about Alain and slowly filter in what happened to him so she can grieve properly

When they return to Chicago after defeating the WQ, MC introduces Helena to her parents. Helena is, naturally, terrified. However both of them absolutely love her and tease MC on how she got such a good looking woman. MC is embarrassed, Helena is just...surprised.

MC introducing Helena to her world of magic, and watching Helena grow into that is fun for MC. Though she sadly doesn’t enjoy flying.

Alain Richter

MC was in the Ravenclaw house. She’s a pure-blood witch. Her family was safe during the war, though she felt like she should have done more to try and stop it.

She became a potioneer

Her wand is made of Rowan wood with a phoenix feather core and is 10’’. It is darkly colored, intricately carved, and is supple

She has a pet cat whose name is Snowball due to her white fur. She finds the name ironic later on.

Her patronus is an Ostrich

She is startled when her ice powers emerge, because as far as she can remember her magic can only really be through her wand unless it’s accidental magic, and she should be old enough where it doesn’t happen.

Realizing that she came from here makes her wonder if her parents knew about this.

She’s incredibly good at making potions, and normally kept to herself doing such things.

The ice occasionally will mess with her results of ice, but it’s not that bad.

Alain panics when she burns herself on potions though she uses her ice powers to heal the wounds.

That doesn’t make him feel better when she shows him this. Instead it makes him worry more because what if she’s hiding something.

Freezing his heart scared her more than anything because she had never used magic like that, she didn’t even know it was possible to break it.

When the spell is broken she apologizes over and over again, clinging to him.

She talks about Chicago and the Wizarding World to Alain, and he’s stunned at what that world sounds like. He can’t imagine hiding magic away, but can’t necessarily blame them.

She does take him into the MACUSA to see if she can find any research about Libra and Umbra and goes shopping for potion supplies

He’s a bit creeped out by the apothecary

Alain actually quite enjoys flying. Not as much as horseback riding, but still.

When MC is told of her destiny, she’s not exactly thrilled that she’s become like Harry Potter in some regards.

When WQ is impersonating her, her wand DOES NOT WORK, which pisses of WQ because they should be the same person, and yet it rejects her.

Alain accidentally meets her parents in the real world. They don’t really approve of him, and want her to marry another pure blood, or at least someone with magic. Alain feels inadequate when they tell him this before MC basically yells at her parents that such ideas is what caused the Wizarding World in the first place

She chooses Alain, even if they have to disown her because of it.

At first Alain starts to object, but MC shuts him up with a kiss.

She’s more than willing to live her life with him than remain in the Wizarding world without him.

When they have kids, she promises she’ll teach them how to control their magic if they wind up with it. Alain is just happy she doesn’t say if, she says when.
