the flesh is unwilling and honestly, the spirit isn't too keen on the idea either

I remember a post that went like "don’t watch episodes on illegal websites, if you stream it on the official ones the provider will know the show is popular!“

Yeah we all saw now how much the actual providers do care for popular shows. Not at all.

What if... What if the worst thing that can happen to the brothers, is the day one of them isn't hurt by their words anymore?

What if regulus calls sirius a blood traitor and sirius walks right past him?

What if sirius calls regulus a death eater wannabe and regulus merely laughs at him with his friends?

What if... What if the brothers are grasping at straws the same way their parents do. It's not so much about the reassurance of if they still love each other, but if they can still hurt the other. And it's not power they're looking for. They're just looking for signs that they still matter.

Only, however, to hold this over their brother's head. See! See how much i can hurt you. How dare you leave me. I'll haunt you. I'm your ghost, I'm your shadow — I'm your brother.

Until none of that is true anymore and they're left looking at the wreckage of their relationship.

Someone will ask Sirius if he's afraid of ghosts, and he won't be able to answer. He mourns his ghost.

But that's the point, isn't it? That's the reason they get so nasty. The pull on every intimate detail they know about each other to be progressively crueller, and more unfeeling, and say the absolute worst things they can to one another, because- because they don't want to care any more.

Regulus is safer back home if he doesn't care about Sirius any more. Sirius will be less tempted to throw himself back in the fire is his love for Regulus is no longer hanging around he neck like a weight. And the way they grew up, well; they have a keen appreciation for the fact that bones once broken heal stronger. That scars are more durable than regular skin.

They push and push and push with a desperation to cross that line, because as far as they're concerned, the one thing that will ensure the other is truly safe is for them to stop caring.

It's bad enough when one of them is successful on their end. Regulus snaps out something nasty and cutting at Sirius, something that two days ago would have incited him into trying to start an actual fist fight with him, and Sirius just rolls his eyes and walks away without responding; and before any sense of satisfaction comes, Regulus is almost bowled over with grief at it being over.

It's worse being on the other end, though. Sirius returns to Gryffindor tower, and he wedges himself into a corner of his room to have a panic attack, because he felt nothing, and he can't stand it. That's his little brother, and he felt nothing? The self loathing is just barely beat out by the utter terror at the thought he doesn't care any more.

(Of course words don't mean much, in the long run; because the second either one of them is hurt, the other comes running. Neither of them are that easy to get rid of.)

Owl Post: The Day the Hogwarts Letters Arrived

7 one shots about each of the Gryffindor '78s receiving their Hogwarts letters. The wizard families are expecting them, the muggleborns are not.

Inspired by a conversation with @jmagnabo92 on Discord about how muggle parents/kids might have reacted to receiving Hogwarts letters. Rejecting the idea of sending your kid there doesn't necessarily constitute being an abusive parent, it could be the mark of a doting, protective, responsible parent!

Here's an excerpt from Chapter 6: Mary MacDonald:

-

“My name is Albus Dumbledore,” a wizened old man’s voice answered, “I am the Headmaster of a school, and I have an acceptance letter for your daughter Mary Eileen MacDonald. I would like to deliver it to her.”

“There must be some mistake,” Mary’s father’s voice said from the hallway. Mary crept closer. Once she’d heard him say her name, it had piqued her curiosity. She was no longer scared. She didn’t step out into the hallway, but she did lean her head past the wall just far enough that she could see the door. The old man was mostly obscured by Mary’s parents, but she could see long silver hair and deep purple clothes. From where she was standing, it looked like it might be a very big dress. She’d never seen anything like it before.

“There must be some mistake,” Mary’s father insisted, “We haven’t applied for any school for Mary. She’s enrolled in Ellings Primary School and she will be there for the next school year. You must have the wrong person.”

The old man shook his head. He tipped it to the side, just far enough that he could catch Mary’s eye, and winked. Both of her parents turned to look at her; they hadn’t realized that she was visible in the hallway. 

“There is no mistake, I assure you,” the old man said. “If you would be so kind as to pour me a cup of tea, then I can explain the whole story to you. It is rather long, so it may require two cups of tea.”

Owl Post: The Day the Hogwarts Letters Arrived

Hi everyone! I was talking with someone recently about how while the Dursleys' rejection of Harry's Hogwarts letter was cruel, it would be kind of natural for muggleborn parents to reject the idea of Hogwarts without intending any malice. Their kid has a whole life that they're supposed to be uprooted from? You're going to take them away to learn magic? Which they didn't even know was real until the letter arrived?

That conversation inspired me to write all 7 Gryffindor '78s receiving their Hogwarts letters! About half of it is Mary and Lily.

nimona is abt living in a surveillance police state where the only path to acceptance is conformity as a tool of oppressing those like you. it’s about how a privileged white woman afraid of imagined dangers can often be the greatest threat of all. it’s about how our nature is acceptance, but even a single moment of misinformed paranoia can give rise to lasting cycles of bias and abuse. it’s about how systems of belief will always find a way to validate the harm they inflict upon others, even if it means turning one child into a myth and the other to a monster. nimona is also. a film about a dancing pink shark in sunglasses

You know the cartoon portrays a panic attack accurately when it almost triggers one in yourself!
