✨NEW FIC IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS✨

And it is vaguely Christmas themed, but it's not OTT so don't worry if Christmas isn't your thing/sucks for you, it ain't about the magic or whatever (well, it is about the magic I guess it's Harry Potter, but really magic isn't mentioned too much and neither is Christmas til right at the end? Idk)

"It's Halloween 1981 and Sirius is with Peter, not yet half-drunk but still exhausted. He'd thought they were here to talk about Remus' recent odd behaviour, but Peter is panicking and has suggested something rather odd."

I hope you check it out and I hope you like it. I did squeeze it from my brain in a mad rush over the space of a week though, so if it's all over the place don't blame me, it's totally not my (the authors) fault!

Hope everyone's doing okay, please heed warnings as ever, sometimes it gets a little deep ❤️💛

Anyone want some semi-problematic fanfic?

Rated E. Please see relevant warnings before reading :)

Sirius dies, Remus gets Tonks pregnant, then Sirius... Returns? The War looms, adults make terrible decisions and people have to try and make things right.

I'm part of the millennial crowd who grew up on Harry Potter and now as an adult have had it blown to bits by JK Rowling being a horrible person.

But I wanna talk a bit about why I write some of the things I write.

I have 2 accounts on ao3 and I do separate my stuff, not coz I'm weird about it or anything but mostly just coz they're so different.

I've been obsessed with Sirius and Remus for years and like most people took All The Young Dudes to heart and dived into that as a whole new canon without, hopefully, the problematic connotations. When I was growing up, teenaged self wanted to know so much more about those guys. POA was always my favourite. I loved werewolves because I have an invisible chronic illness and there's something that sings to me about people not seeing that in you until they do and people expecting things from you due to your diagnosis. I've been told many atime that i can't possibly be tired because I'm too young etc. I saw Remus tired and struggling and related so hard to that.

Sirius though. I fucking love Sirius. Sirius has a problematic family that I could relate with, a bad relationship with his mother, and friends that he could rely on (which I so desperately wanted). I wanted to read so much about his life and how he survived to see how I could too. He's a dude, I see him punk, wearing black with tattoos and his hair all over and it's just so much like I wanted to be but was sorta scared of the family disapproval?

It doesn't matter so much now I'm older but I don't want to stop writing them particularly because I guess there could be other people who wanted the same thing as me. And the community is still alive and well even though we all agree that she sucks.

But also, I guess, I want to give them some kind of happiness because as an adult I've learned to live with my chronic illness, learned to accept it, have found a partner who is wonderful and it's nice to write about people who are just a bit older getting by in the realest way I can while being in love.

If I can bring someone a bit of joy, that means the world to me. And getting out all of that teenage angst is like free therapy haha.

New fic!

"One person can change the course of history, and Sirius and Regulus Black never going to Hogwarts allows for a whole series of events to emerge, leading to a far happier ending.

"Did something dumb," Remus tells Lily as she's making him a cup of tea with some firewhiskey before she re-sets his collarbone.

"Having a house drop on you tends to be pretty idiotic, Re, yes."

"No, no," he replies. "No. I met someone."

"Oh god," she says. "You've been fighting Death Eaters. How on earth-?"

"He isn't a Death Eater, he doesn't have the mark."

"And yet I'm still assuming he's bad news?"

Remus sighs.

"Oh no, not the heart eyes."

As someone who is a world lead in being expected to perform normally whilst feeling like I'm being dragged through the pits of hell (chronic illness) please believe me. You can't perform normally when you're ill. Anyone who expects you to is an idiot. And please don't beat yourself up because you've been taught to believe them.

Being ill is hard. Sometimes you need a fucking break.

post the cockroach with the autotuned scat please. i need it

No seriously this.

I loved Tonks when she showed up, she was the personification of what I wanted to be but was too scared to be. She was cool, she chose her name, she looked however she wanted. I imagined in my head she had piercings and tattoos and had some serious punk vibes. She was clumsy and yet still managed to be bloody good at her job, which was a hardcore job, and despite being a bit of a troublemaker and a bit all over the place she had made it. She was young, too, and well thought of and, yeah. Everyone thought she was cool because she was.

Then Remus (who I also love to bits, mostly I think due to struggling with a chronic illness through most of my life and everything that comes with that/hiding it/side-effects) sort of just ruined her?

Both of the characters ended up tainted because of it imo and then they just died? Pfft. Their relationship didn't really add anything into the story for me, and I'd have much preferred a Tonks who stayed badass even despite her love for him (if we had to keep it) or, god forbid something that'd never show up in JKs world, got preggo by accident.

...

Did I just have another fic idea? A bring back Black wolfstar raising an accidental (but much loved) Teddy?

Oh dear 😂

No no, you know what boiled my blood?

How JK treats Tonks.

Because she was FUN, female characters aren't allowed to be fun but she was, a little bit of a rebel, clearly pretty gnc and loudly queer (in the way that JKR did a whole ken with the cock ring situation)

And then out of nowhere she is dull and lifeless and sad and you think, oh, maybe it's because she is in a war now, but NO it's because she has a crush on a guy, but don't worry Joanne I mean Molly will pressure him into liking her and once he does she goes back to bubbly and fun.

And I know Joanne thinks comparing Tonks attraction towards Remus with Snape towards Lily is in some way romantic, but all it tells me is that Tonks became obsessed with an imaginary version of someone and decided to mold herself to what she thinks this imaginary version wants/needs.

And the biggest sin is that Tonks stops being fun, she is described as colourful, in the sense that she is literally colourful bit she stops being fun.

(Also the whole of JKs obsession with motherhood and femininity and how every woman that is good must die for their children and oh good the daddy issues like please Joanne THERAPY)

Tldr: still mad about how canon treats Tonks and forever mad about how a cool character was wasted because Joanne can't handle queer people liking her characters.
