Call Me When You Break Up - Modern AU

Anne and Gilbert are reunited after two years of not speaking to one another. Of course, it's not Anne's fault that they haven't been talking. If she had things her way, they would still be the very best of friends. No, Gilbert is the one who went and ruined things by confessing his love to her. She couldn't tell him anything other than the truth, which was that she did not love him back. She maybe didn't have to add that she would never love him, but she had a point to make, and she couldn't very well take it back after it was out there. But it's been two years, and that's given them both a bit of a cushion and some perspective. And some time to find other people now that they weren't spending all of their time with one another. Anne is with Roy. And she knows that Gilbert is with Christine. So, being the Maid of Honor to his Best Man, at Diana and Fred's wedding will be fine. It will be more than fine, in fact. Anne is sure of it.

Protecting my peace is on-site blocking anyone who ships Snily. I'm not getting into a ship war. I'm shipping in peace.....by not interacting with you ✌️

I continue to be inspired by my friends' photos to drawing marauders characters. My best friend is my Lily Evans

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

Happy summer solstice

I do love summer ☀️

MI 9:46 pm

everyone always talks about lily playing with james’ hair but what about the other way around? james constantly twirling it around his fingers when they talk. james brushing it out of her face for her when she’s too focused on a potion to notice it’s about to fall in. lily sitting between his legs while he braids her hair during order meetings because it grounds him as much as it soothes her.

(opening the author’s works page after finishing a fic) and if im lucky they’ll have written this exact same fic but different a bunch more times

“Smile here, Mr. Potter!” the photographer calls “This will be in the archives of Hogwarts for forever.”

James grins widely. “Forever? Well, shouldn’t we get one of the Head Boy and Head Girl together, then?”

because magical schools have picture day, too, right?

big believer of the lily kissed james first propaganda.

I added another part to this. Its now a choose your own adventure, you can choose option one, where they ride back to school together the night of the wedding, or option two, where they spend the night at green gables

Smooch.

controversial opinion, but characters are so much more interesting when you are able to forget about shipping them for a moment and actually appreciate their unrelated personal plot/arc. if the most interesting thing you can think of about a character is the ship you like them with, then I don't think you actually like that character very much

i am a firm believer that as soon as james and lily started dating they were already moving around each other like they were married and everyone was very confused about it, convinced they were secretly together longer. like there is no way you’re silently communicating and doing domestic little things for each other without asking already you haven’t even been together for a full moon cycle??

lily never threw away any of the notes james passed to her during classes, she kept them in a small, red box. but all of them were wrinkly due to her dramatic crushing of them in front of him; a regular yet dishonest show of hatred towards the boy whose name was scribbled on multiple pages of her journal, every time accompanied by red hearts beside it.

Fanfiction is so silly. I am playing with my dolls and people are coming over to watch. Some of them even clap and give me compliments. And when I'm done playing, I can go and watch other people play with their dolls.
