december 22nd was the second anniversary of my first retyrement AU post! thanks so much to everyone for following it thus far, and for an amazing 2023 overall! it's been really wonderful making art for all of you, and i hope to keep up steam in the new year!
though OLD_FOLKS HOME's posting anniversary on ao3 isn't until february 16th next year, i wrote a fun little oneshot for the occasion! it's a little fanservice-y romp i've been thinking of writing for awhile ^^ i hope you enjoy it, and that it tides you over until the next OFH arc! you can find it on ao3 right here
thanks so much again to everyone for being such a wonderful audience here on tumblr, and hope you all have a lovely new year!
"oh it's great to have a community of writers so u can ask each other about different experiences!" "oh it's so nice being able to get an info dump on someone's interests that winds up helping ur writing!" "we can help support and encourage each other to keep going!" yes yes all this, love connecting with my fellow writers.
aLSO THOUGH having my allo friends help me figure out if I'm being too cringe in trying to describe a character as hot. Always forget how aroace I am until I got a character pov that is NOT and suddenly all understanding of *attraction*
James: sitting in a dark corner, wrapped in a blanket, sniffling slightly as he watches the sky.
Lily: what is it this time?
Regulus: told you, he's been reading Percy Jackson.
Lily: still?
Regulus: well, he finished...
Lily: and?
Regulus, heaving a sigh: Luke dies at the end.
Lily: ....oh.
James, crying off screen: he was so beautiful and talented, all they'd done was misunderstanding him, he deserves better, I want to resurrect him and keep him to myself!
