Happy FFWF ❤️💙
Walk me through your beautiful mind and tell me how you chose your love stories for your character.
Thanks for the ask! Warning: Long post ahead.
Okay so first, I played it safe with HPHM, putting them with canon characters.
David and Merula, I honestly loved the foil that MC and Merula are for each other in the main story of HPHM. However, it could have done with a lot more fleshing out, which is really what I wanted to do in creating their relationship.
Whether they're enemies or just rivals to lovers is up for debate but regardless I liked their at first very contentious relationship gradually developing into an admission of respect. It culminated in the two catching feelings for each other, Merula defending him and eventually the two dating. The rest as they say, is history.
Amelia and Chiara, now I tend to flip flop on this as I really do like the thought of Amelia travelling the world, taking down creature poaching operations and breaking hearts. On the other, I do like Amelia and Chiara meeting up again later in life and kindling an unspoken love for each other.
Phoenix and Erika, these two are the loosest as I haven't had much time to develop them. But, I like the thought of them being rivals to lovers, Phoenix being one of the few able to truly get under Erika's skin.
For everyone else, it's a little different, with a lack of knowledge or interest in the canon of HPHL and HPMA, I started going with OC x OC ships instead. I’m a great fan of the idea that shipping can be used to really help grow and develop both halves of the ship. So I cast my line into the great sea of OCs and see who bit first. Thus, I wound up with Leila, Gareth, Lydia (@rogueharrington), Asher  (@cursebreakerfarrier) and Hazel (@kc-and-co). Also, Valentina  (@camillejeaneshphm)
I love Reubeila being able to find a loving family in each other after experiencing a horrible home life. I love Clareth’s will they/won’t they yet there’s still a fierce sort of loyalty between them. I love Marilyd’s friendly rivalry that developed into friendship and then one of the most amazing romances. I love Asher and Robin’s angsty side that let Robin show a bit of softness in contrast to the loud, brash, goofy girl that she usually is. I love Nick and Hazel, I feel like it would make Nick more confident, and I adore the support they would have for the other’s ambitions. Luis, my Marauder’s era boy and his tragic romance with Valentina is also one of my favourites for the fact that they knew they loved each other but never quite got there.
But overall, what I really look for in a ship? Satisfaction, plain and simple. Whether they become life partners, strike out on their own or if the romance ends with a hint of tragedy, as long as it was a satisfying journey and conclusion, I’m okay with how any ship turns out.

Harry Potter Hogwarts Legacy Appreciation Week - Day 4: Favorite Ships by Moots
Hey guys! This is the fourth entry for @endlessly-cursed’s fantastic HPHL Appreciation Week. Today the focus is on other people’s ships! Y’all have made some wonderful couples and friend groups/duos! There are so many of them that again it is a challenge to narrow down which ones will be featured for the post. Anyway here goes:
Tedelia - Adelia Selwyn @thatravenpuffwitch and @cursebreakerfarrier
Slytherin and Gryffindor in love and getting along like peas and carrots? It’s hard to believe for the common student but if the passion is there it is going to happen. Dear Addy is far from the stereotype of her house and she is so wonderful and compassionate! Teddy and his dormmates are a group of chaotic Gryffindors but they love their gals all the same. Together he and Addy have built a beautiful family with three great kiddos. Danny is a frequent visitor to the Selwyn-Ellison household and he loves Teddy, Addy and their kids so much!! He considers the kids part of his found family just as much as their parents, they’re like nephews and nieces to him and he tries to find them great gifts for their birthdays and Christmas celebrations. Danny has always been close with Teddy and Adelia - he and Teddy are colleagues as aurors and he stops by to see Adelia frequently while working in France. The role that Tedelia has in Danny’s life is why it is number one on this list!
Roxariel - Gabriel Sapieha @slytherindisaster and Roxie Haley @beloved-bucky
This wholesome ship reaches number two spot by a close margin to Tedelia. I cannot decide which should be number two because its more like that it and Tedelia hold equal places in my book. Still this ship is one of my favorites because the gal in here is Danny’s sister figure and best friend Roxie! Gabriel is also a dear friend to him! He is protective of Danny and cares a lot for his well-being, where to he would put himself in harm’s way to keep him safe. The dynamic for Roxariel is unique - I just love how Gabriel and Roxie are still able to love each other so much even though she is a vampire. In a time where racism and supremacy still dominate the wizarding world, this couple can be an example of how minorities can still achieve successful and fulfilling lives just like regular people. Danny is also very grateful to have Gabriel and Roxie in his life and they’re very dear to him - his life would never be complete in their absence.
Galehan - Siobhan Llewelyn @kc-and-co and Galen Stagg @cursebreakerfarrier
Two sweethearts that have it all. Their story is about living life to the fullest. Bonding over a love of magizoology and outdoorsy-ness, Bon-bon and Galen live a very unique and epic lifestyle with many connections around the world. They look over many creature reserves in several countries - one of which is located in the U.S. state of Arizona. Danny vibes with the couple over their appreciation and reverence of the outdoors, reminding him of the better angels of his old home far away. He loves Bon-bon so much and they’ve been best buddies since their Hogwarts days. Galen is such a sweet and soft boy with great compassion and acceptance for minority groups which Danny really appreciates! When working in America he often stays at one of the reserves under the care of Shiv and Galen and is always happy to see them and hear about their latest adventures!
Reubeila - Leila Hellebore @whatwouldvalerydo and Reuben Willows @that-scouse-wizard
While I don’t bring up this ship much it still deserves recognition. Like Roxariel, this ship is another great example of how normally disadvantaged groups in wizarding society are still capable of having romantic feelings, falling in love, getting married and raising a family! Reuben is an awesome quidditch mate of Danny and Leila is a Slytherin lady with demon heritage. Like him they’re both are the type that may seem intimating on the outside but on the inside they’re just amazing friends who do great things for those they know and do their best to give back!

Hogwarts Legacy Appreciation Week - Day 4
My Favourite Ships That Aren't Mine
This is my entry for the fourth day of @endlessly-cursed Hogwarts Legacy Appreciation Week.
We all love our own ships dearly, but we also have this one (or these many) ships amongst our mutuals and their OCs we just can't get enough of. So here's my two picks for this day - because really, how could you decide between these two?
Ethelys - Ethel Hexley x Lysander Mercury:
Ethel belongs to my beloved @the-al-chemist, Lysander to the fabulous @slytherindisaster
Tumblr media
Ethel and Lys are the epitome of enemies/rivals to lovers, change my mind. Both of them incredibly headstrong and quick-witted, they never missed a chance to bicker, banter and insult each other, fully convinced the other just must be the worst person on the planet.
But, as we grow older, we all learn to change our minds, don't we? 😏
These two and their dynamic have so much chemistry, fun and potential. Learning about them - whether it's through art, shorts, or headcanons - never fails to make me chuckle.
Thank you @the-al-chemist and @slytherindisaster for gracing us with this incredibly fun chaos-ship! 💛
Reubeila - Leila Hellebore x Reuben Willows:
Half-demon gremlin child belongs to my dear @whatwouldvalerydo, Reuben to the sweetheart that is @that-scouse-wizard
Tumblr media
Reubeila was the first Legacy ship I started to engage with properly and for that alone they will always hold a special place inside my heart.
Reuben and Leila are both so different from each other (and not only talking about this phenomenal height difference) and so unlikely on the first glance. But if you look closer, these two make so much sense. They empower each other when they need it and are there to catch the other when dealing with their pretty depressive family matters. They make each other better, stronger and softer all at the same time.
A very special shoutout to their modern versions in @whatwouldvalerydo incredible Coffee Shop AU Today's Special. I'm living for this story, I'm living for this ship and I'm incredibly thankful to have it (and you) in my life. 💛
Thank you @whatwouldvalerydo and @that-scouse-wizard for creating a ship that shows us that no matter how different we appear, if two hearts beat the same, they are unstoppable.

If you're still doing the five sentence fics.
Reubeila, "Care to be the taste tester?"
Sorry it took so long to reply hun, but here you go 💙:
When Reuben pulled her hand and guided her gently telling her he made something, Leila was first off surprised they weren't going to the kitchen and then disappointed in a sense when she was offered a drink, Reuben noticing her change in expression "You don't like the smell?"
"To be honest my mind went from food to a different type of testing but I was not imagining a drink." carefully taking a sip, her eyes lit up instantly "I like it."
Clearing his throat as to get over her previous comment, he smiled "It still needs some work, it's a bit too sweet. But until I make a new batch we can try what you had in mind." he spoke leaning in to kiss her.

For Reubeila…
“For the love of Godric, don’t hiss at it!”
Pointing at the table, Leila felt like she was about to lose it "What is a giant dragon egg doing on the kitchen table Reuben?"
Laughing, he went behind her, pushing her slowly towards it "It's actually a cake for the yearly sanctuary party."
Sniffing it, Leila concluded it was indeed sweet and not a real egg, however she still looked displeased "At least last year it was a dragon shaped one."
"And you hissed at that as well remember?"

Reubeila
Tumblr media
Beyond the power of everything we know, beyond every creature on this earth there are forces far greater that we cannot even see.
Love has the power to give and take, the power to destroy and build. Use it wisely, for some hearts are more gentle than others.
@that-scouse-wizard 💚💙

Reubeila please!!
"What do you mean, you don't think the dragon has provoked me?" Leila snorted.
Reuben's brows rose slightly as he looked at her, the back of her dress charred, Leila holding in her hand a very sharp stick "Because we've been over this before."
"They hate me!" she hissed at him, feeling absolutely fed up with trying to explain how her energy made every creature go beserk.
Shaking his head, he took the stick from her hand, eyes travelling to the dragon in the distance, Reuben fixating him with a stare "They don't understand it, that's all."
"And I don't want to understand them and their stinky scales."

Today's special - ch 16 - Mine
Tumblr media
Since it is Reuben's birthday today, Leila was kind enough to finally cooperate in order to let me write. Happy birthday to the best boy out there @that-scouse-wizard
The gang finally decide on drinks and reach the cabin after some issues but will the couple be able to escape the games and not give away any hints?
Characters mentioned here belong to @kc-and-co @the-al-chemist @lifeofkaze @cursebreakerfarrier

Y for Reubeila please!
Y: Yawn (How they sleep post-sex)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
No need to put their clothes back on, sleeping naked underneath the blanket is the perfect way. They would cuddle, Reuben holding Leila in his arms, her head resting on his chest. Soft caresses happen until they slowly drift off to sleep.

9, 12, 13 for TalTal (ha!), Takira, Victoliver pleaaaaaase 🧡
I do not know this TalTal ergo request denied.
9. What’s the most difficult thing they’ve been through together?
12. What would they say each other’s worst quality is?
13. What would they say each other’s best quality is?
Takira - @cursebreakerfarrier
9. Oh boy! Her asking him to kill her. Akira seeing the aftermath of her being tortured because of someone who was after him. Him leaving her at one point. Realising they have feelings for each other when they swore off them.
12. Vengeful, stubborn, cruel. Goes both ways.
13. Her patience when it comes to him, but more than that her odd innocence. His willingness to not give up on her and fight (might be stubbornness too lol), but mostly the fact that he is odly gentle when it comes to her (please ignore the knife throwing, neck grabs, fighting etc XD).
But in all seriousness, how they can hold their own. That way even if the other still worries, they still have faith the other can handle things.
Victoliver @kc-and-co
9. Loosing each other, when their families were no longer, having to let their little girl go attend school.
12. Victoria would say he doesn't have one, Oliver would say there is none. Are they both lying? Probably. Surely. I see the eye twitch when Vic rambles about a book he finds appalling and he cannot appear to run out of energy when music is on.
13. His passion, how dedicated he is to his work. His bubbly spirit. Sorry it should have been one. How she finds the good in everything, her intoxicating happiness.
Talbott and Talia fucking end of story
9. Loosing each other/breaking up. The Auror camp/the war, the times spend apart
10. His stubbornness, her stubbornness. Excuse them, they are having a fight currently. Come back later 😂
13. Answered here

I’d usually say no procrastinating, BUT:
10, 13, 25, 33 for TalTal (😆) and Modern!Reubeila please.
And yes, I know I’m a bitch 😂
BUT....
Also pfff no TalTal that is not valid.
10. How do they make up after a fight?
13. What would they say each other’s best quality is?
25. Pick a physical attribute that they love about each other.
33. Who was the first to say ‘I love you’?
TaliaxTalbott
10. They usually talk it out, but after Talbott gives her some space. He knows he can rarely get a word in when she's angry. He doesn't pushes too many boundaries, slowly testing the terrain, making notes of how she acts if he comes too close.
Talia on the other hand usually is more touchy feely than him and she generally resorts to those types of interactions alongside words.
13. Talia would think it's his patience and ability to differentiate between good and bad while keeping a leveled head (most of the time). Talbott would say her ability to adapt in any given situation.
25. Talia's believed from the very beginning his eyes were gorgeous. Talbott has a thing for her lips, how they shape when she smiles or pouts.
33. Talbott was the first to say I love you, Talia said it much, much later.
Modern Reubeila @that-scouse-wizard
10. Well these two haven't had a fight yet so we will need to live and see how they would venture there.
13. For Leila, for how much she knows up until know it is how hard working and trustworthy he is. For Reuben I would venture he likes her adventurous side, but also how sweet she actually is despite what she went through.
25. His body. Don't blame her, he looks good and she feels safe in his strong arms. For Reuben, her eyes and that devilish glint in them whenever she wants something.
33. None yet, they barely got to the I like you, let's secretly date part 😂

Carnage Circus 🔥
Part 6/? - The bond
Tumblr media
And we're back with part 6. Reuben Willows is this time face to face with the detective. Thank you for letting me borrow him @that-scouse-wizard 🖤
Tag list: @lifeofkaze @the-al-chemist @hogwartsmysteryho @samshogwarts @kc-and-co @cursebreakerfarrier
Early morning brought forth with it the detective once more. As opposed to the late scene that developed before his eyes with the passing night, the fog appeared to have dissipated entirely, sun shining down on the circus tents. The grounds were silent, no one roaming around, not even the ticket booth making a noise as Talbott walked inside.
Oddly enough no rides were working, tents having the closed sign on them, thing that made the detective quirk a brow.
Somewhere in the distant tents, he could hear some chopping sounds, him venturing to check it out. Going past the curtains, a heavy axe dropped, blood splashing on the ground, the sickening sound of bones breaking making Talbott squint his eyes.
Turning around, steel grey eyes glared at the intruder, Reuben lifting his axe once more splitting the animal carcass in two. Talbott kept his distance as he ventured inside the tent. That was an individual he did not wish to encounter in a dark alley. Despite being taller than the strong man, there was something about the way he looked that chilled him to the bone. That was a man few would dare to cross.
"Ask your questions." His voice reverberated inside the tent, blood further soiling his clothes as he started dicing the meat, Talbott feeling a tad sick to his stomach.
"Didn't have your morning coffee mister Willows?" seeing how he was being ignored, Talbott circled the man in order to see his face "I find it odd you didn't join the circus with your parents. What were they, trapeze act?"
"You already know they were." The man replied dryly, Talbott just nodding despite not being looked at.
"Tragic really, losing them both in an accident while they were training for a performance."
No emotions shinned on his face, attention focused on portioning the meat for the animals "Accidents happen."
"A bit too often here." Taking out his pack of cigarettes, he asked "Mind if I smoke?"
"Do what you want."
Lighting up the tip of the cigarette, Talbott circled the tent briefly before continuing with his questions "How come someone who was not part of the circus and led a normal life happened to be drawn to it all of the sudden? Honouring the memory? Trying something new?"
"Call it what you want detective." A slight frown took place of the previous concentration, Talbott keeping a straight face when the chopping resumed.
"I will then call it having your hand forced. I see no other reason why you would join this freak show."
Impaling the axe in the sturdy wooden board, Reuben sat upright in all his glory approaching the detective "You wouldn't understand so don't pretend you do." Alongside the silent fury burning in those cold eyes, Talbott distinctly heard a soft hissing sound, Reuben's eyes widening slightly.
"Then make me understand mister Willows. Who are you protecting?"
Reuben searched his face, whipping blood soaked hands on his already soiled shirt "There are certain things no one can escape, like in my case. This is my curse and you have nothing to do with it."
Cocking his brows, Talbott chuckled "I see, you also don't want to speak to me, very scary I might add with the entire" he gestured towards the torn up meat "but perhaps words aren't needed. Maybe miss Hellebore would point me in the right direction." In that moment the detective knew he hit a sensitive chord as Reuben's entire demeanour shifted "Maybe she will be more willing to say something if I took her to the precinct."
"She doesn't speak detective, she's a mute."
Taking a step forward, Talbott smirked "That doesn't mean anything to me." Again that hissing sound was heard, far more clearer than before, closer, right behind the heavy tent curtains "I don't believe in curses and magic, but what I do know is that you are all hiding something, protecting despite the atrocities happening and I will get to the bottom of this with or without your help mister Willows."
Getting up in his face, Reuben spoke through gritted teeth "You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Don't touch Leila, do not take her away. You can't…" he stopped himself from saying more, sadness washing over him.
"Alright, I understand." Taking out his notebook, he wrote something "Here's my number in case you think of anything else." Taking the note, Reuben's eyes widened seeing a question written on it "Is Akira threatening her?" him just staking his head without looking at the detective "Let me give you the number at the precinct as well, just in case I am on the field." Writing down another question, Reuben looked at the note "Is Akira the one that forced you to join?"
Reuben shook his head once more, pocketing the note "Have a good day detective."
"Oh I'm not going anywhere, I'll give you some time to freshen up and then maybe you can show me to miss Hellebore's caravan."
Reuben watched him exiting the tent, a heavy sigh leaving his chest as he sat down, burying his face in the palm of his hands. A gentle poke on his knee brought him back to reality, Leila sitting on the ground in front of him, wide eyes taking him in "I'm sorry." Reuben uttered looking at her "I shouldn't have dragged you in this Hell after me, but I didn't know of another way to save you."
Leila gave him a mechanical head shake, extending her hand out to caress his cheek. Picking her up, he sat her on his lap, hugging her tight. Creating some distance, she poked his cheeks smiling at him.
"You're the only good thing about this place." Leila shaking her head, pointing at him "Me? I don't think so."
"Are you two done?" both flinched upon hearing Akira's voice, Leila's body going limp, Reuben keeping a steady grip on her "This detective is getting on my last nerve and lately it appears to be a theme. Are we going to have a problem?" Reuben shook his head, Akira looking at Leila. She did not move, however he approached the pair, making her look at him with those glassy eyes "Pathetic. At least I know you won't say anything." Letting her go, Reuben cradled her at his chest "Just remember what's at stake."
"How could we forget?" Reuben mocked him in a serious tone, Akira glancing at Leila with a menacing look in his eyes.
"Don't test me Willows, this is your last warning. You may be more, but you aren't similar to me."
Taking his leave, Leila moved again, lifting her head, Reuben making her look at him "Don't tell the detective anything Lei, I don't want Akira punishing you. Let me take on the heat if necessary."
Gesturing with her index finger between them, she brought her hands together, Reuben shaking his head "No, I do this, not us." Leila shaking her head, a hissing sound living her lips "Alright, we'll see. But I have a bad feeling about this detective. He asks different questions and he can ruin everything." Only nodding, the girl agreed with him.

Spring Break - Day 4 - Regret
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reuben Willows mentioned in passing belongs to the lovely @that-scouse-wizard
I know it looks scary and the title of the day daunting, but it's far from it. Thank you @kc-and-co for this amazing challenge.
It took her a while to learn the safest paths inside the sanctuary, however the fire breathing dragons were not enough to stop Leila from performing her odd rituals. Even if she did not use blood magic, she would still sneak out to any body of water at least once a month in order to cleanse her body.
Reuben called it skinny dipping, but those were details she did not focus on.
She could still smell the blood on her skin and for someone who was so disconnected when it came down to any living creature, Leila was oddly enough very in touch with nature. While the sanctuary did impose certain limitations, it still had plenty of spaces she could venture and hide in when she needed a moment for herself.
Reaching her favourite spot, she gazed at the almost full moon shinning down on her from above the tree line, Leila smiling as she proceeded to undress, diving head first in the deepest part of the water before her. The sharp cold felt as if it brought her back to life, a sigh of relief leaving her lips once she reached the surface.
A sound from the forest drew her attention, Leila’s eyes widening as she could clearly make out the shape of a dragon approaching the water. Slowly moving she swam creating distance, the animal approaching the banks, snarling slightly at the sight of her. Closing her eyes, she inhaled deeply, trying to calm her energy and not antagonise the animal that was already eyeing her suspiciously.
Normally they did not venture in those parts, however this one appeared to be young, curious, but equally dangerous when it came down to a fight “What the fuck are you?” she whispered, the dragon snorting at her as she reached the other bank, getting out of the water slowly. Maybe she should actually start reading up more on them, she barely held any knowledge, could not actually distinguish them and that was never a good thing.
Her first instinct was to hiss, bare her fangs, however the animal decided she was too far away to be interesting, however it stopped to sniff her clothes “Shoo!” a growl hushed her, Leila freezing as the dragon smacked its tail against a tree, birds flying away scared. Perhaps venturing to that certain spot wasn’t such a good idea, especially without Reuben by her side.
Swearing under her breath, she could only watch as the dragon started chewing on her clothes nonchalantly. Taking a few steps back, she hid behind a tree thinking about her options. There was no way she could get near the animal in order to try and salvage anything, but if it decided to eat her clothes, who knew what it might do to her.
Silently making her exist, Leila ran back to the mansion, cursing her luck. With a few evading manoeuvres, she finally managed to get back home, passing Reuben’s office which had the door wide open. Usually he would be too focused on his work to notice anyone, but this time he lifted his eyes, having to do a double take as Leila passed without even a small hello.
Getting up from his desk, he peaked across the hall, making certain his eyes did not deceive him “Lei darling, where are your clothes?”
“At the bottom of a dragon’s belly where else?” she answered annoyed, stopping in her tracks.
Blinking a few times his mind could not come up with anything else other than “What?!”
“What?” heading inside the bedroom she heard him ask.
“You’re joking right?” her just shaking her head. How was she going to explain that to him? “Right Lei?”
