a letter to petunia
This is more Lily and Petunia nonsense that I wrote the other night. This one is a letter that Lily wrote to Petunia when the Potters went into hiding. My AO3 is here if you are interested.
Petunia, 
I don't think that you will ever have to read this but I'm writing it just in case. If you are reading this it means that the worst has happened, and for that I am sorry. I'm also sorry for all the things that I have left unsaid, and for all the broken pieces of us that I will never be able to piece back together, but there are some things that I want you to know. 
The first is that I love you. I know that we haven't been close in years, and likely we never will be but I need you to know that I never stopped loving you. You were there for me and protected me when we were small. I know we were forced to grow up too fast and I know that you tried to shield me from that. You shouldn't have had to do that. 
I know we fought but when I think of you I remember the happy days of our childhood. The summer days were spent at the neighborhood pool, or riding our bikes by the creek. I miss those days and everything that came with them. I miss when we loved each other out in the open, when you were the other half of me, completing me in a way only a sister could. 
I know I didn't do enough, and I know that I left you in that house. I'm sorry. I don't regret doing it because it led me to who I am. It led me to James and brought me Harry but I am sorry that there wasn't a way that I could find myself and not lose you. 
When we were young I thought you were the most beautiful person in the world and I hope that one day you will be able to look back at our childhood and see yourself the way that I saw you. Beautiful and brave. 
This war that I got myself caught up in is terrifying, and I can't let you get caught in the crossfire, but Pet I'm scared. I'm scared that I'll die and my life won't mean anything. I'm scared that I lost you for nothing. I'm scared that every terrible thing I thought about me, and you, and us is true. 
I know that you pushed me away because you were scared. Scared of us being different, and scared of losing me. I know because I pushed you away for the same reasons. I forgive you for what you've said and what you've done and I hope one day you will be able to forgive me. 
If you get this letter it means that I'm dead which means that James and Harry are too. I want you to know that if I'm gone and they are too you are the last piece of me. I think that you'd be sad if that happened because I would be sad if I lost you again, but I don't want you to be sad forever. I mean to be sad for a little bit, you know I always loved the attention, but don't be forever. 
Go and live and be happy. Find what it is in life that makes your heart sing and do that, and when he is old enough I hope that you will tell Dudley about me. Tell him about your magical sister who you sometimes hated but who always loved you. Tell him that I loved him even though I never met him, and tell him how good you were back then. And then tell yourself that even though everything is broken you were always enough for me. 
All of my love, 
Lily Potter

HOW I IMAGINED THE DURSLEYS
firstly their house. i honestly don't know much about the geography of england but ive always headcanoned them of living in a poorer working class area. i feel like canonically the thought of them trying to present rich n shit despite living in a lowet class area is like them pretending to be a 'normal' family, and i know the evans grew up in a lower class area so i feel like petunia never being able to run away from her sister and childhood is sad n ironic
i've always imagined as them having a nice interior, the iconic 90's apple kitchen and ocean themed bathroom, so that people were distracted from the empty wine bottles and the locks and catflaps on harrys door.
for petunia, ive always imagined her as an unstable bipolar who uses harry as her outlet. the thought of her having to live off of lithium, alcohol, and cigarettes while trying to seem put together means sm to me. i don't think she would BEAT harry, but she def treated him like a diary (offhanded comments to him talking shit about him or the neighbors, screaming matches w him, etc) and an occasional slap.
vernon on the other hand, i think would be different. i think that vernon is a genuinely bad person, mixed with a bipolar alcoholic wife and a busy job would be stressed and angry and take it out on harry. i do believe that petunia would encourage vernon to use him as an outlet, but that doesn't make vernon any better

au!Petunia Evans where she is still a muggle or a squib or whatever it is she is, and rejected from her sisters world, though instead of jealousy and hatred, she is still very much jealous but determined as well. And thats the important fucking part.
She needs to be a witch.
so much so she turns to the 'magicless' peoples witchcraft. or basically our version of witchcraft with manifestations, crystals, normal herbs, oracle cards, book of shadows, and deity work and everything of the suchlike. and it fucking works.
it works and she is a witch. she has to be.

The secret house of Avens
So I had this idea, what if lily and Petunia were descendants of a very powerful wizarding family. So i searched an anagram name for the family name of Evans and what i found was a Avens. And since avens means:
a plant of the rose family, typically having serrated, divided leaves and seeds bearing small hooks.
(interesting fact: Avens is a middle Englisch ,that comes from the words old French Avence and medieval Latin Avencia)
any of a genus (Geum) of perennial herbs of the rose family with white, purple, red, or yellow flowers.
So as you can see the word Avens has a lot of connection to flowers. and it is quite a concidence that Petunia and Lily have flower names for theyr first names and family name Evans which is also an anagram of the word Avens

Of Rabbit Hearts & Fox Teeth ✧ T ✧ F/F ✧ Word Count 2,025
Petunia Dursely is a woman in mourning, a mother of now two, and a person of interest to Bellatrix Lestrange.

No Archive Warnings Apply
AN: I am…well beyond the deadline with this one, but here she is! I am forcing my Bellatrix silver fox animagus headcanon on everyone who reads this. Writing this also left me thinking of Petunia as a bit more human, surprisingly.
Foxes were not an altogether uncommon sight on Privet Drive, especially not in the dark hours that were, Petunia supposed, categorically both late and early. This particular fox though, its fur the color of brushed steel caked with black soot, struck her as something not common to Privet Drive at all. She watched it through the kitchen window and it sat like a sentry on the garden wall, watching her right back. The hair on the back of Petunia's neck rose as their eyes met through the ghost of her reflection — puffy and dull in her witching hour grief. ...continued here.

Ecofemminismo della petunia
Del giardino mi piace soprattutto quanto sia vicino all’imponderabile, a quel punto ineffabile in cui natura e cultura, fisica e metafisica, tangibile e simbolico coabitano in un tempo che è dentro e fuori le cose. Un tempo pieno di sorprese. Non ponderabile significa non misurabile ma non per questo inesistente. In passato quando il colore, la luce, il calore, l’elettricità, il magnetismo non…
