mon this is so sweet thank you for the tag 🥺💙
congrats on 500!! this is so so swell deserved and so much more 💙
y’all im crying - 500 followers???
i am absolutely overwhelmed with emotion that 500 people out there have the desire to follow me and support me and my writing (and all the other nonsense i share here lol)
i am eternally grateful for all the people i have met through this blog and through writing. like seriously i love you all 💕💖💓
to celebrate, i’m doing something a little different from my previous milestones. 
IT’S FIC REVIEW TIME LADIES AND GENTS 🎉
FIRST, i have this fun new form you can fill out giving me some info about any fics you would like me to read and review. this is just a more organized way of making sure i don’t miss out on any great fics AND so that i can share some love for my fellow writers and their hard work. you can find the form here
note: i will add into my masterpost a link to a post with these reviews listed out so you can always stay updated with the fics im reviewing (my reviews are basically me spewing out my thoughts as i go)
SECOND, im going to indulge myself a little here because i’m really curious. hop in my inbox and let me know what your favorite fic of mine is (and why if you don’t mind) because lately, interaction has been down on many fics and i would love to hear some feedback on what you love and why
THIRD, i have been putting together this rec list for a while now (so some fics have been out for quite a while) and i wanted to share some of favorites of the incredible works of my friends, my moots, my fellow writers
these fics below gave me emotions of some sort because of how wonderful they were and i truly wish for everyone to read them if they have the chance. this list is not exclusive whatsoever, and i had trouble going back through old posts to find all the ones i ever loved, although i thought it would be easier since i use the tag 1/1 recommend for my faves as i read and reblog them. so go search for that tag on my page and hopefully that will help you find more great fics to read.
* denotes the presence of smut within the fic, minors please refrain from reading these due to the authors’ wishes

It’s A Date - Fred Weasley
Tumblr media
Welcome to another Fred blurb!  This takes place post war.  Hope you enjoy!
Word count:  1,605
Truthfully, you had always been rather content with your life.  During your schooling, you weren’t unpopular, but you weren’t popular.  People gravitated towards you, but you never became attached to anyone.  You weren’t ever the one to seek other out, but you were there for when others needed you.  In fact, if no one had sought you out, you would have spent your school years alone, and you were content with that.  
When you graduated, you started working at a muggle flower shop in London, where you rather sneakily used magic to make your flowers the most beautiful in the area.  When the war came around two years later, you didn’t hesitate a moment to fight at your old school.  The battle was hectic and you met many new faces and a few familiar, including your partner during the first half of the battle, Fred Weasley.  He had gotten separated from his brother, and you arrived alone, so there was an unspoken agreement to stick together.
Fred and you worked well together, even in school.  He was your partner on occasion during Potions class, and you quite enjoyed his jokes and company.  Throughout the battle, you and Fred saved each other on multiple occasions, both of you barely avoiding the cold grasp of death.  During it all, a small bit of rubble had hit you as well, leaving a rather ugly cut across the side of your face.  Fred broke his leg when wall collapsed and you blasted as much away from him as you could.  During the calm period, you helped Fred to the Great Hall, where his family took care of him, and you left to finish the battle.  That was the last you saw of Fred.  
After the war ended, you returned to your quiet life, coming to work each morning with a small scar you wore on your face with pride.  Day in and day out, you worked and went back to your flat, to your books and to your cat, which had become your best and one of your few friends.  
One particular Monday, on your day off, you decided to go to your old stomping grounds.  You hadn’t been in Diagon Alley in years.  In fact, you hadn’t been in touch with any sort of magical shop in almost two years, since the battle and since the war drew to an end. 
You entered through the Leaky Cauldron, dipping your head to the patrons you faintly recognized.  As you entered Diagon Alley, a nostalgic feeling washed over you.  Last time you had been there, most of the shops were closed and it was rather drab and dreary, but now it was like when you were a kid.  Bright, bustling, and beautiful.  There were so many witches and wizards, dressed how you used to dress, in cloaks and colorful clothing, pointy hats and odd animals on their shoulders.  Music played loudly from a nearby shop, which you recognized to be the Weird Sisters.  Memories of the Yule Ball faded into your mind and a faint smile formed on your lips as you wandered up the alley. 
You felt out of place, wearing your tight jeans and black band t-shirt, containing a muggle band you were sure few people in the alley around you knew of.  But the wand tucked into the waist of your jeans made you feel like part of them.  As you wandered up the alley, your eyes landed on the one shop you had never been in.  Weasley Wizard Wheezes. 
It was an incredibly fun looking store, one you were sure you would enjoy, but before the war, you only ever came to Diagon Alley when you absolutely needed to, and your time there was short with no time for stops like this.  Now, however, you had all the time in the world.
When you stepped into the shop, it smelled of fireworks and sweets and there were various sounds and flashing lights all around.  It was August still, so there were copious amounts of young students bustling around and laughing at everything around.  Your smile grew as you ran your hand along a display, looking at the bottled love potions and Puking Pastilles, to other products you truly couldn’t have thought up in your most wild dreams. 
As you picked up an odd looking package, you felt someone brush by you and you ignored it, accrediting it to the busy shop, but as you turned over the package in your hand, a voice brought stole your focus.  “Well, hello,” a voice you recognized greeted, causing you to turn to the Weasley twin.  “Here I thought I’d never see you again.”
Fred smiled at you, but held a confused look on his face.  “Loonar Loop Luminators?” you asked him with a small laugh in your voice.  You wondered in the back of your mind what he meant by his words, but you brushed it off for the moment.
Fred glanced down to the package in your hand, as he had not noticed it sooner as his eyes focused on your face.  “A sort of firework,” he answered proudly and took the product from your hand.  “A demonstration, maybe?” 
Shrugging lightly, you followed Fred as he led you to the center of the store.  “All right, you lot, listen up!”  His voice boomed through the store, silencing the many students and grown ups alike.  “I’ll be doing a quick demonstration of our Loonar Loop Luminators, so stand clear,” he continued as he opened the package.  He placed a small blue tube on the ground, using his wand to light the end of it. 
After a few mere seconds, sparks of various colors exploded from the product, reaching the ceiling of the shop and popping into more sparkles.  You clapped, along with the rest of the store, as the fireworks exploded beautifully.  Fred smiled proudly, his arms crossed over his chest, and waited until the last of the sparks faded to speak once more.  “Loonar Loop Luminators can be found over here to the left, in the front of the store,” he finished and swooped down, picking up the expired product.  Fred stepped back over to you, an expectant look on his face.  “What’d you think?” 
“Absolutely brilliant,” you answered with a laugh.  
Fred beamed at your words.  “You see, if you do it in an open area, and not indoors, it will be a much more grand show.  Sparks will fly to the moon, hence the name,” he explained proudly and flashed the box to you, which held a rather smiley moon.
You hummed, a bright look in your eyes.  “I reckon that’s quite the sight.  I might have to leave here with a few myself.”
Fred smirked, glancing at the box in his hand once more.  “Take as many as you want.  I couldn’t bear to charge the person who saved my life,” he explained as he led you to the counter, where he tossed the box in a waste bin.  
With a small laugh, you shrugged and leaned against the counter as his brother, who was two years younger than you, rung up the many guests.  “Well, you saved mine as well, so I had assumed we were even.”  
Fred scoffed, checking his watch for a moment before glancing at his brother.  “Man the shop for a minute, mate?” 
Ron glanced at you and nodded, a smile on his lips.  “Take your time.”
“Got a moment?”  Fred asked you as he nodded towards the door of his shop. 
You glanced at your own watch, pretending to contemplate his words, but shrugged.  “I suppose so.” 
Fred smirked and led you through the shop, out into Diagon Alley.  “I thought you died, you know?”  His voice was a little shaky as he spoke, his hands in the pockets of his colorful suit. 
“Well, here I am,” you replied lamely, giving him a gentle smile and a small shrug.  
With an incredulous look on his face, Fred shook his head at you.  “I mourned you, you know?” 
Your smile fell at his words, causing you to feel oddly guilty.  “Why would you mourn someone you didn’t know to be dead?  Someone you barely know?”  The words came out a little harsher than you intended, but as Fred led you up Diagon Alley, walking slowly through the crowd, you were sure he understood. 
“I want to know you,” Fred said suddenly, his voice insistent.  Your mouth fell open, rather surprised by his words, and waited for him to continue.  “I always have.  That’s why I always convinced others to let me be your partner in class, why I spoke to you as much as I could without bothering you, why I wanted to stay by your side during the battle.”  Your face felt warm at his confession and for a moment, you were at a loss for words.  
With a gentle blush on your face, you ducked your head and smiled to yourself. “Well, here I am,” you repeated the words you said moments before and glanced up at Fred.
Fred smiled widely at your words, raising his eyebrows.  “Will you let me take you to dinner, then?” 
For a moment, you bit your lip and pretended to consider his offer.  After a brief pause, you spoke softly, “I suppose so.”
“Brilliant,” Fred smirked and stood with his hands in his pockets.  “Meet you here at the shop tomorrow?  Say seven?” 
Nodding gently, you fought the wide grin forming on your lips.  “It’s a date.”

happy new year lanie!! hope its wonderful!!
happy new year.
hi friends :) I am in a incredibly sappy mood and just want to take the time to appreciate a handful of people who I have been lucky enough to become friends with on here who mean so much to me. I’m a huge sap guys don’t say I didn’t warn you.
— Katie; @slytherinsunrise
Katie I love you loads and will remind you of this fact probably every day haha! You are such a strong person and I’m so proud of how far you have come. I am so lucky to be able to call you my friend and couldn’t imagine tumblr without you. I can’t believe that we have been able to share the struggles of our past with each other and just grow even closer. We both have been through a lot and I’m proud of both of us. Plus, I can never grow tired of us sending heaps of images of James and Oliver to each other and bouncing fic ideas off one another. You are so talented and I truly am lucky to have met you through writing on here :)
— Mere; @vogueweasley
Mere you know how much I love you. You are kind, down right hilarious, and a joy to talk to. Like I said tonight, I can’t fathom that we could have decided to not start writing fanfiction and have never become such great friends. I always look forward to our chats and the cryptic asks we send each other (usually at an hour we should definitely be asleep lol). You always know how to bring a smile to my face and I genuinely could not imagine being on tumblr without you here. 
— Mon; @thisismynerdyself
Mon you really are the kindest person I have ever met and I don’t even think that could do you justice. You are truly unfailingly kind no matter what which is something I struggle with and I truly aim to be more like you. If everyone was a little more like you than the world would just be a better place. You always make me smile when we talk and I just love seeing Kitty Kovu on snapchat. Thank you for boosting my confidence when you know I’m feeling down and being a terrific friend that I never would have thought I could meet through tumblr of all places.
— Mya; @wandsandwheezes
Mya I just love you. That’s it. Kidding! You are such a strong person who I really couldn’t imagine not talking to every day. You are just stupidly talented and without a doubt one of the people I couldn’t be on tumblr without your presence. I love you dearly babe and I just find it utterly ridiculous that an ocean is between us. Can’t wait until we will get to hang out (read: go drinking woohoooooo and have a grand old time) when I study abroad ~hopefully~ next year :) 
— Stef; @oh-for-merlins-sake
Stef we really only started talking once you joined the discord server but oh my goodness am I just so happy to have gotten to know you! You are so kind and have an amazing sense of humor. You are always making me laugh in the server and bringing a smile to my face. I adore you and your beautiful writing and just cannot wait to get to know you even better.
— Jess; @whiz-bangs78
Jess you make me laugh daily and you are one of the wittiest people I’ve ever talked to. You are such a genuine person and really one of the people I always look forward to seeing whether it is in the discord server or on my dash. You are a literal ray of sunshine not to mention a phenomenal writer! 
— Alicia; @buckysbeloved
Alicia! You were one of the first real friends I made on here and I just love you so much. I adore talking to you on snapchat daily and cannot believe our friendship is all thanks to me reading your Fred fic when I hit 500 followers and me literally coming into your dms yelling in all caps about Peaky Blinders. Our friendship has grown into something so much more than this and I love talking to you about our favorite Weasley twins and just the deeper stuff. I genuinely cannot wait to hang one day when I come to England when I study abroad so we can go and geek out at Warner Bros Studio!
and here’s to all of the other people who inspire me to write, brighten my dash daily, and I have been lucky enough to be mutuals with - even if we don’t talk much!
@andromedaa-tonks @jilyevans @loony-loopy-lupinn @valwritesx @lumosandnoxwriting @heloisedaphnebrightmore @lunalovecroft @awritingtree @durmstrange @vivianweasley @wlntrsldler @feetoffthetablee @rekrappeter @george-fabian-weasley @ickle-ronniekins @theweasleysredhair @harrysweasleys @witch-and-a-half and so many more that I’m sure I am forgetting :)

It’s A Date - Fred Weasley
Tumblr media
Welcome to another Fred blurb!  This takes place post war.  Hope you enjoy!
Word count:  1,605
Truthfully, you had always been rather content with your life.  During your schooling, you weren’t unpopular, but you weren’t popular.  People gravitated towards you, but you never became attached to anyone.  You weren’t ever the one to seek other out, but you were there for when others needed you.  In fact, if no one had sought you out, you would have spent your school years alone, and you were content with that.  
When you graduated, you started working at a muggle flower shop in London, where you rather sneakily used magic to make your flowers the most beautiful in the area.  When the war came around two years later, you didn’t hesitate a moment to fight at your old school.  The battle was hectic and you met many new faces and a few familiar, including your partner during the first half of the battle, Fred Weasley.  He had gotten separated from his brother, and you arrived alone, so there was an unspoken agreement to stick together.
Fred and you worked well together, even in school.  He was your partner on occasion during Potions class, and you quite enjoyed his jokes and company.  Throughout the battle, you and Fred saved each other on multiple occasions, both of you barely avoiding the cold grasp of death.  During it all, a small bit of rubble had hit you as well, leaving a rather ugly cut across the side of your face.  Fred broke his leg when wall collapsed and you blasted as much away from him as you could.  During the calm period, you helped Fred to the Great Hall, where his family took care of him, and you left to finish the battle.  That was the last you saw of Fred.  
After the war ended, you returned to your quiet life, coming to work each morning with a small scar you wore on your face with pride.  Day in and day out, you worked and went back to your flat, to your books and to your cat, which had become your best and one of your few friends.  
One particular Monday, on your day off, you decided to go to your old stomping grounds.  You hadn’t been in Diagon Alley in years.  In fact, you hadn’t been in touch with any sort of magical shop in almost two years, since the battle and since the war drew to an end. 
You entered through the Leaky Cauldron, dipping your head to the patrons you faintly recognized.  As you entered Diagon Alley, a nostalgic feeling washed over you.  Last time you had been there, most of the shops were closed and it was rather drab and dreary, but now it was like when you were a kid.  Bright, bustling, and beautiful.  There were so many witches and wizards, dressed how you used to dress, in cloaks and colorful clothing, pointy hats and odd animals on their shoulders.  Music played loudly from a nearby shop, which you recognized to be the Weird Sisters.  Memories of the Yule Ball faded into your mind and a faint smile formed on your lips as you wandered up the alley. 
You felt out of place, wearing your tight jeans and black band t-shirt, containing a muggle band you were sure few people in the alley around you knew of.  But the wand tucked into the waist of your jeans made you feel like part of them.  As you wandered up the alley, your eyes landed on the one shop you had never been in.  Weasley Wizard Wheezes. 
It was an incredibly fun looking store, one you were sure you would enjoy, but before the war, you only ever came to Diagon Alley when you absolutely needed to, and your time there was short with no time for stops like this.  Now, however, you had all the time in the world.
When you stepped into the shop, it smelled of fireworks and sweets and there were various sounds and flashing lights all around.  It was August still, so there were copious amounts of young students bustling around and laughing at everything around.  Your smile grew as you ran your hand along a display, looking at the bottled love potions and Puking Pastilles, to other products you truly couldn’t have thought up in your most wild dreams. 
As you picked up an odd looking package, you felt someone brush by you and you ignored it, accrediting it to the busy shop, but as you turned over the package in your hand, a voice brought stole your focus.  “Well, hello,” a voice you recognized greeted, causing you to turn to the Weasley twin.  “Here I thought I’d never see you again.”
Fred smiled at you, but held a confused look on his face.  “Loonar Loop Luminators?” you asked him with a small laugh in your voice.  You wondered in the back of your mind what he meant by his words, but you brushed it off for the moment.
Fred glanced down to the package in your hand, as he had not noticed it sooner as his eyes focused on your face.  “A sort of firework,” he answered proudly and took the product from your hand.  “A demonstration, maybe?” 
Shrugging lightly, you followed Fred as he led you to the center of the store.  “All right, you lot, listen up!”  His voice boomed through the store, silencing the many students and grown ups alike.  “I’ll be doing a quick demonstration of our Loonar Loop Luminators, so stand clear,” he continued as he opened the package.  He placed a small blue tube on the ground, using his wand to light the end of it. 
After a few mere seconds, sparks of various colors exploded from the product, reaching the ceiling of the shop and popping into more sparkles.  You clapped, along with the rest of the store, as the fireworks exploded beautifully.  Fred smiled proudly, his arms crossed over his chest, and waited until the last of the sparks faded to speak once more.  “Loonar Loop Luminators can be found over here to the left, in the front of the store,” he finished and swooped down, picking up the expired product.  Fred stepped back over to you, an expectant look on his face.  “What’d you think?” 
“Absolutely brilliant,” you answered with a laugh.  
Fred beamed at your words.  “You see, if you do it in an open area, and not indoors, it will be a much more grand show.  Sparks will fly to the moon, hence the name,” he explained proudly and flashed the box to you, which held a rather smiley moon.
You hummed, a bright look in your eyes.  “I reckon that’s quite the sight.  I might have to leave here with a few myself.”
Fred smirked, glancing at the box in his hand once more.  “Take as many as you want.  I couldn’t bear to charge the person who saved my life,” he explained as he led you to the counter, where he tossed the box in a waste bin.  
With a small laugh, you shrugged and leaned against the counter as his brother, who was two years younger than you, rung up the many guests.  “Well, you saved mine as well, so I had assumed we were even.”  
Fred scoffed, checking his watch for a moment before glancing at his brother.  “Man the shop for a minute, mate?” 
Ron glanced at you and nodded, a smile on his lips.  “Take your time.”
“Got a moment?”  Fred asked you as he nodded towards the door of his shop. 
You glanced at your own watch, pretending to contemplate his words, but shrugged.  “I suppose so.” 
Fred smirked and led you through the shop, out into Diagon Alley.  “I thought you died, you know?”  His voice was a little shaky as he spoke, his hands in the pockets of his colorful suit. 
“Well, here I am,” you replied lamely, giving him a gentle smile and a small shrug.  
With an incredulous look on his face, Fred shook his head at you.  “I mourned you, you know?” 
Your smile fell at his words, causing you to feel oddly guilty.  “Why would you mourn someone you didn’t know to be dead?  Someone you barely know?”  The words came out a little harsher than you intended, but as Fred led you up Diagon Alley, walking slowly through the crowd, you were sure he understood. 
“I want to know you,” Fred said suddenly, his voice insistent.  Your mouth fell open, rather surprised by his words, and waited for him to continue.  “I always have.  That’s why I always convinced others to let me be your partner in class, why I spoke to you as much as I could without bothering you, why I wanted to stay by your side during the battle.”  Your face felt warm at his confession and for a moment, you were at a loss for words.  
With a gentle blush on your face, you ducked your head and smiled to yourself. “Well, here I am,” you repeated the words you said moments before and glanced up at Fred.
Fred smiled widely at your words, raising his eyebrows.  “Will you let me take you to dinner, then?” 
For a moment, you bit your lip and pretended to consider his offer.  After a brief pause, you spoke softly, “I suppose so.”
“Brilliant,” Fred smirked and stood with his hands in his pockets.  “Meet you here at the shop tomorrow?  Say seven?” 
Nodding gently, you fought the wide grin forming on your lips.  “It’s a date.”

Thank you
Hi! I would just like to say thank you. Your work is truly amazing and I love reading and re-reading the things you create. Every time you post something I get so excited you don’t even know. You are all so incredibly talented and I just, I don’t even know. The amount of times I have binged your masterlists is insane. It created an escape from everything that was going on and made me so genuinely happy. I appreciate all of you and what you do. Thank you for creating amazing work.

Congrats Rie!! This is so well deserved!!💙
Wait whaaaa? (Rie’s 300 Follower Starbucks event!)
300 FOLLOWERS?? Are you guys insane?? Wow. That is- wow.
Tumblr media
Okay, let’s get this straight I posted my 200 followers thank you post 12/11/20… so if I did the math correctly, that was 17 days ago! HUHHH??? Like, do you guys really like my stuff that much?
Trust me, I’m thankful for each and every one of you and I love you all, but… WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOUR BRAINS???
WHY in the WORLD would you follow me? 
But, somehow here we are so all I can say is…. THANK YOU GUYS!!
Um, I mean if you guys want me to do something (I’m sure you don’t, but I’ll give you something anyway) I WILL DO IT!
————————————–
Soooo how about (Since Starbucks is one of my favorite things):
Vanilla Bean Frappuccino= A very vanilla game, f*ck, marry, kill! Send me three Harry Potter characters and I’ll tell you who I’d do the devils tango with, spend my life with, and who I would go *jab**jab* to!
Strawberry Acai Refresher w Lemonade= Since it’s my favorite drink, I’ll do my favorite thing: Send me a character and a situation and I’ll write a blurb about it!
Hot Chocolate= Are you angry today? Well great… er not really… but cool off by venting to me about anything!
Green Tea= A drink that gives me serotonin because it reminds me of being 8 and thinking I was a bougie child. So, I’ll do something that also gives me serotonin; shipping people with others! Send me your House, if you prefer males or females, and a few facts about you! Then I’ll ship you with a character from Harry Potter (Golden Trio Era only tho)!
Send as many as you would like into my ask box! It’s a celebration, after all!
I think I’ll have this go until ½/21, but I might extend it, who knows?!
Thank you guys again for 300 followers! I love you all!
I’m tagging all of my mutuals so that this doesn’t flop (hopefully):
@wand3ringr0s3 @sweeterthansammy @loony-loopy-lupinn @whiz-bangs78 @show-choir-gal @durmstrange @wandsandwheezes @missmercurymoon @efyra @dracodear @georgeline @weasleyclaw @minty-malfoy @pansydaisy @siriuslyceleste @georgeweasleysbiggestfan @steviemae @layaa-layaaa @pineapplesandpinas @sackbot001 @emmaev @randombritneystan
