Greetings!

This post is about my favourite HP fanfic, The Sacrifices Arc by Lightning on the Wave.

I will re-post the prophecies that appear during the series.

Hope you enjoy it!

Warning!: if you haven't finished the Sacrifices Arc, be aware that there are spoilers in this post.

The second prophecy (given in Chapter 39 of Comes Out of Darkness Morn)

“Five weeks before the time of longest light There comes one who puts lesser foes to flight, Who has a soul and magic cold as ice. Now comes the hour Of the black one's power, And he shall die by the wand of the sacrifice. · Now comes the hour all truth is revealed, Now comes the hour the gray one takes the field, And first decision sets the path for all. Now kindness is tested, Now soft heart must be bested, And on that test he will stand or fall.”

There are also some interpretations that are worth to point out:

Connor believed that the “black one” was Sirius Black, who would die by Harry's wand (the “sacrifice”). In other words, Harry would kill Sirius five weeks before Midsummer; the second part of the prophecy is not as important to him.

Others believe that only the timeline was correct. Voldemort and Sirius are “black one”, both sharing a body. Sirius kill himself using Peter Pettigrew's wand, who was a sacrifice too; the other half of the prophecy is related to the Dementors.

I would like to point out some things that can be interesting.

“Now comes the hour all truth is revealed”

In this book, the most intrigant thing is the true about the night of October 31st, 1981.

“Now comes the hour the gray one takes the field, And first decision sets the path for all. Now kindness is tested, Now soft heart must be bested, And on that test he will stand or fall.”

We see a new path in Harry's life, a path of freedom and magic: the path of a Vates, a liberator. And is that night in which the path will rise or fall.

However, that's just my opinion.

I would love to know your thoughts about this topic!

And before living, I am going to quote Draco Bloody Malfoy, just 'cause I want to.

“You have the strangest friends, Harry,” said Draco, a little too calmly. “Not including me, of course…”

Chapter fourteen of Comes Out of Darkness Morn, by Lightning on the Wave.

The leg sacrifice! The bones! #Watch them ramp up the quality this episode and go wild with the frantic action of 'oh god our plan is going to shit'. #Hello. Me of the future who just watched the episode. #I knew it was going to be good but that...that blew my mind completely. My high expectations were beyond met. My god. #I'm just speechless at how well they handled everything. The leg. The tension. That ENDING. #If you have not already: PLEASE watch Dungeon Meshi.

actually Lily is the main character of the marauders era

#she's the catalyst for everything. she unites snapes arc with the marauders/order #she's the one who sacrifices herself and starts the entire plot of hp #ultimately james and snape are side characters in her story!!! #i think a point of DH was 'you spent so much time thinking about your dad but actually it was your mum who was important' #she is Protagonist and its time she was treated like it

#is it self-sacrifice or self-destruction? why not both #dick grayson #tim drake #i think tim's red robin fight is probably better known bc dick fans tend to focus on the angst at the beginning of the renegade arc #instead of the angst at the end of the renegade arc #HOWEVER at the end of the renegade arc blüdhaven is exploding #and dick - who's been extremely down on himself and convinced that maybe he's kind of a bad guy - #gets a brief new lease on life by being highly-motivated to charge into the exploding city with a borderline suicidal plan #which very predictably ends in him charging into an explosion and passing out and getting rescued by batman #(bruce is then a jerk about it but never mind that for the sake of the parallel) #and so dick spends his whole charge-into-the-city-on-fire soliloquy thinking about how he's gonna do things RIGHT now #and he's BETTER now - no more shades of gray!! only black and white!!! #and on the one hand this is clearly genuinely felt and it's a huge relief for him to be able to see himself as a hero again #but it's hard to miss that. like. the actual plan that he has. #involves putting himself in extreme danger with no backup and probably dying #and there's a strong implication that maybe to dick that part is a feature and not a bug

I just think Chuuya deserves to snap for this arc. Crumble under his unaddressed trauma. Be evil for a little while. Make Dazai face some consequences for a change. A little corruption arc, if you will.

#yes i'm evil sometimes. it comes and goes. #fyi i have a lot of thoughts about the prison break arc and i agree that dazai *thinks* he's prepared to sacrifice chuuya to get fyodor #he didn't know chuuya would be there but he already had his plan in motion and he can't stop now can he #but i also want this to be the start of skk's make-up arc. do you see my problem. #i often say chuuya gives dazai too much credit (like everyone else) for how much he schemes and knows #but. maybe dazai thinks chuuya is more resilient than he is. maybe chuuya can break. ever thought of that one dazai. #bsd #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #bsd fanart #bsd dazai #bsd chuuya #bsd dazai osamu #bsd nakahara chuuya #skk #soukoku #bsd manga spoilers #nawy's art #posting this now is taking a shot in the dark but i am prepared for the potential consequences #i was supposed to post this much earlier but i got covid OUT OF NOWHERE so

the entire season they've shown sylvie perpetually being okay to just walk away from the fray and getting no consequences whatsoever. which would be ok since she doesn't rlly care about them like loki does. but in the end she just moves on so fast after she watched loki isolate himself and go off JUST to fix her mistake.......

meanwhile mobius is there, frozen in that time, left behind by the person he's an "expert" on not only bc of his job but bc of their friendship, him quitting the job that was his entire life, because loki has left and his previous purpose didn't have loki anymore

it's just fucked up how everyone else got their happy endings (good for them) except for loki and mobius. they're apart, separated once again, looking miserable in their last shots. just like last season.

#hhnnggg i dont hate sylvie i think she deserves peace and to rest #but the fact that loki had to sacrifice everything he's work on (his friends. his changing. the love of his life) just to fix HER mistake #marvel why the hell do you hate loki huh why do you keep making him lose everything #idc sure his arc has changed but what does he get? what's his reward? doesn't he deserve something too in the end? yes he fucking does #loki: i dont want a throne i want my friends back #writers: ok here's a throne where you're lonely asf and are at risk to end up like HWR who's been isolated for so long too #also fuck your friends and your lover #LIKE?!?!?!?!?!?!? #(if anyone wants to chat i beg of you please dont hesitate) #tag talk #loki tv show #loki tv series #loki tv #loki season 2 #loki series #loki show #loki season two #lokius #mobius x loki #loki x mobius #anti sylki #not really anti HER but it was so unfair

[dekusleftsock]

STILL NOT OVER THESE PARALLELS BTW

They make me want to KMS

Their hair covering their faces, Izuku unable to smile and wearing his hero mask and toga wearing her fake sad smile.

Toga wearing her school uniform to cover up herself as a normal girl, Izuku wearing the giant orange jacket to cover himself as bigger and cooler than he feels

The DOLLS all being stabbed, and the ITEMS are collapsed and dirty on the ground

LIKE MY GOD THEY ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN

And the thing is, the reason why they have to parallel each other sm, especially during the time when these drawings were released, is BECAUSE THEY BOTHVHAVE SUCH STRONG FEELINGS OF SHAME AND DESPAIR BC OF WHO THEY LOVE

Bsisbsisjishdie I think about them so often the brainrot is strong

#‘Himiko and Katsuki are so similar’ KYS #The only parallels between them is that they have arcs surrounding learning how to sacrifice #and they both have sharp features and blonde hair #BUT THATS IT #Personality and actual parallels wise? NOTHING ALIKE #I love them…. #my guys… #bkdk #togachako

Greetings!

So, I've seen a lot of people asking for some kind of summary about the Sacrifices Arc by Lightning on the Wave (LotW).

And well, since I am currently doing a project that makes me read the fanfic again, I am going to do my best and share a synopsis for each book (however it will take some time to finish all of them).

Hope you enjoy it!

Warning: if you haven't already finished the first part of the Sacrifices Arc, be aware that this post contains spoilers

Saving Connor by LotW

In the first chapter the author presents us a little bit of Harry Potter's life, as well as his brother, Connor Potter (the-boy-who-lived), his parents and Sirius Black.

The two twins are about to star their first-school-year; Connor will be in the spotlight, for he is The-Boy-Who-Lived. And Harry, though he is every different from his brother, will do whatever it takes to stay by his side.

However, Harry's perfect plan breaks apart after he is put not only in a different House, but in the rival of his brother's. Slytherin; on the other hand, Draco Malfoy is looking forward to be the best friend of Harry.

Harry is giving detention by Severus Snape, after he provoked an explosion during Potions. Snape becames aware how incredibly powerful is Harry Potter.

Harry finally gets to talk to his brother about him being in Slytherin, and Connor is sure that his brother can not be evil.

Draco test Harry during Flying Lessons. Harry hardly refuses to play for the Slytherin Quidditch team; Draco and Snape have a chat about Harry.

Harry follows Professor Quirell under the suspicion of him being a treat to Connor. Draco invites himself to the follow.

During Halloween, Harry saves Hermione, Ron and Connor from a troll. However he claims that Connor is the one who saved them all; Draco, who was with Harry all the time tells the truth to Professor Snape.

Connor and Harry start to play for their own Quidditch teams.

Harry, once again, follows Quirell and witness some shocking things.

During the Gryffindor-Slytherin game Death Eaters enters inside the Quidditch pitch. Harry Potter managed to save his brother, defeat the enemy and grab the Snicht; little did he know Severus Snape was watching him.

Snape confronts Dumbledore about Harry being the real Boy-Who-Lived. Dumbledore revels The Prophecy; If you want to know more about the prophecy visit this post: https://www.tumblr.com/daenrl/708765882926628865/greetings?source=share

Connor confronts Harry about what happened during the Quidditch game.

Snape tells Harry about the Philosopher's Stone. Harry makes a plan to help his brother.

Draco gets kidnapped and Harry rescued him. And, as part of a Life's Debt, Harry has to spend Christmas with the Malfoy's; turns out, Harry enjoys the dancing.

Connor and Harry have a chat about the Philosopher's Stone; Snape has decided to instruct Harry.

Connor and Harry have an argument. Hermione demands answers about the Stone.

Harry goes to the Forbidden Forest with the intention to talk and protect Connor. But in the midel of the way, the two brothers face professor Quirell and –at the back of his head– Lord Voldemort; the battle is between Harry, how protects Connor, and the Dark Lord, how wants to destroy. When everything seems lost, Voldemort and Quirell die while trying to touch Connor.

Harry is pretty exhausted but descrbis the fight to Severus Snape.

In the last day of school, Gryffindor wins the House Cup because Dumbledore gives points because of the bravery of Hermione and Ron. And Voldemort's defeat by Connor alone.

Snape is convinced that make Harry who he truly was was going to be a challenge.

Finite Incantatem

That is how the first part ends.

I will leave a quote from Draco Bloody Malfoy.

“Yes, but their colour scheme deserves to be insulted”.

Shadow Milk's Corruption

In the AU (NAME STILL PENDING-), Shadow Milk Cookie doesn't get a physical form until later on. Until then, he occasionally possesses Pure Vanilla Cookie to have access to more of his original power and his abilities. However, due to them sharing the same souljam, there were some unintended side effects that neither were aware of.

The longer Shadow Milk Cookie remains in the same body as Pure Vanilla Cookie, the more their souls and minds blur together. It's a slow and subtle process since Shadow Milk Cookie wouldn't possess Pure Vanilla that often anyway. He can't torment someone if they're stuck in his mind. Pure Vanilla would find himself slowly gaining some of Shadow Milk Cookie's mannerisms, but he would see it as the effects of his controlled state. Shadow Milk Cookie would calm down a bit, in a way. Less erratic and manic, but still as eccentric as ever. He wouldn't notice these changes either, too busy with his new freedom from his suffocating prison. It would be why he decided to take over the faerie kingdom instead of burning it all to the ground. Occasionally, he'd act more like his past self.

The other four beasts would notice this change later when they're freed, pointing out that he's "gone soft". Some would blame it on Pure Vanilla, and wonder why Shadow Milk hasn't just taken the souljam yet.

#fyp #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #cr kingdom #crk #pure vanilla cookie #shadow milk cookie #pure vanilla cookie would already have a hard time dealing with his guilt after the whole ordeal #having parts of shadow milk cookie’s personality would make it worse #it would probably unsettle his friends as well whenever he slipped #possible shadow milk redemption arc? :0 #at the expense of pure vanilla? >:) #the real question is how willing pure vanilla cookie would be to sacrifice himself for the ‘greater good’ #phantasmagoria crk

That’s him, officer, that’s the inhuman neurodivergent-coded character with a deep emotional connection to their found family that they don’t express in conventional ways that’s making me cry, jail him, do it now-

#rolling with difficulty #rdw #vr la rwd #ninjago #zane ninjago #mister spock #spock #star trek #I’d say Tech from TBB but he’s a human so he doesn’t quite count #Ain’t it funny that three of four of those examples have a very dramatic sacrifice death at the ends of very important personal arcs. #I haven’t finished RWD S3 #I’m very scared

[nightswatchdisbandmentera]

Much has been said about why Jon sacrificing Dany a la Nissa Nissa is horrible, sexist writing (in addition to being completely useless because Dany already fulfilled the prophecy herself)…but no one ever mentions how this literally doesn’t make sense for Jon either? Like the very first chapter in the series, Bran I, tells us what Jon would do if he ever had to make a choice: he would choose to sacrifice himself over anyone else. You mean to tell me that very same Jon who is unwilling to deprive his younger sister of her birthright would deprive a would-be lover of her very life?? That’s just so diametrically opposed to who Jon is. Plus it’s thematically inconsistent because Jon always gets rewarded for sacrificing himself, which is very different from the established Azor Ahai lore given to us by Salladhor Saan.

#I’m always so surprised when I see jon stans supporting this theory as a means of softening the blow from objectively sexist writing #like nooo this not only sucks for dany it sucks big time for jon #why would anyone think this is good for his character?? #or even thematically coherent with his arc?? #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #daenerys targaryen #jon snow #also like jon might be getting aa mentions but he’s also a last hero parallel - the last hero story is all about self sacrifice fam #which imo makes him a thematically different entity from azor ahai but i don’t wanna argue about that today
