Severus could not bring himself to answer. Instead, his body shook in response. Whatever Minerva thought she would find; it was not this. She expected the aloof, challenging stare, she thought she would find a man proud he had escaped justice. Instead, she found a snivelling man. A child in desperate need of redemption.

Chapter update to Ruby Red!
Rain carved a ravine down Minerva’s nose when she reached Spinner’s End. It seemed an innocuous place enough, but she was surprised that it was among Muggles. A strange location given what he was accused of. She rapped the knocker once more and she heard a muffled ‘Go away!’ from inside.

I have no God.
Dire, they who could do nothing
While hands unbound.
Ignoring pleads of mercy
Like whispers on the wind.
I've seen and felt (DO 2023)
The weak will of men
Who claim the blame be not on them.
We strive to do what's right
Free but not free
From fear
Begging them to chose morality.
Pleas ignored,
Warnings of fire unheeded
Crackling, souls marred.

Some hail it the black dog.
I call it home, it names me prisoner
Joyfully the ball and chain encircles my ankle
With bleak familiarity.
The sea, expanse, calls to me
Makes me homesick. Bitter the pit of my stomach
Ache and yearning.
The sharp salt air desperate for me
Luring my soul, osmosis.
For what?
For what? (DO 2023)
A language I don't understand, but words I can feel
Sears my bones
Heed me home.

My first ever attempt at poetry. I'm in my 30s, so it's never too late to try something new.
Stretched out beyond,
As it was and ever will be,
A barren desert.
No cactus or oasis awaits.
Only the gnarled, knotted arthritic hands
Of an elder tree casting shadow, grasping.
A blight in the sand and soul.
No hope resides here,
Excommunicated from joy, anointed in anguish.
No chance of blessed hydration
Instead arrid and coagulated
In unending perdition.
D.O. 2023

4 Tips for Autistic Writers
Autistic writers can face unique challenges when it comes to writing. NaNo Participant Auden Halligan has tips to handle some of those challenges!
So, you’ve just sat down at your desk, all ready to work on your next chapter, but you just can’t seem to start. Something is itching at your brain, and no matter how hard you think, you can’t figure it out. For autistic writers, that itch might be even harder to get around when compounded with autistic inertia, introspection issues, and sensory processing disorder — even if we were super excited to get started, sometimes the stumbling blocks are enough to keep us from going anywhere at all.
Here are four tips to identify your struggles and work around them rather than against them as an autistic writer!

‘Even now, that is all that matters to you?’ Severus finally turned to look at Lucius. ‘Are you even capable of caring Lucius? Is love so foreign to you?’
‘I don’t know what you mean, Severus. You really do have the heart of a poet. Perhaps your calling is not in the noble art of potions?’
‘You never deserved her.’
Both their hands triggered for the wands they no longer had.

Uploaded chapter 27 to Ruby Red. Twice in as many days, since I am a vile, cretinous tart. Enjoy!

Severus did not have it in him to argue. He simply nodded, and left the office, his robes swirling behind him as he headed straight to his chambers. A twisted satisfaction knotted within him as students gave him a wide berth, fear in their eyes at his scowling mask. Fill them with fear, lest they know how brittle the mask truly was.
