I'm literally vibrating with excited for this wartime fic!!! Can you tell what time the fic is set in ? As in how old are they/years since Hogwarts or do you dont want to tell yet ;)

Ah thanks, Anon! I'm so happy someone is excited 😅 I've been writing this for so very long, and it is itself so very long, so it is very reassuring to think that anyone might read it when it posts!

Funnily enough you've picked up exactly one of the questions I had for myself about the fic. I find as I get older (and maybe because i seem to be working through all my little traumas by writing about them haha) i am quite interested in writing them older. In fact, my next long fic plan (a sort of political, forced marriage fic) involves them as parents, with a magical Dursley baby, and Harry and Draco on the run with their kids.

However for this fic, I went back and forth and back and forth about their ages.

Some backstory: before the events of the fic occur, Draco joins the Order after 6th year, then he helps with the Horcrux hunts. They then spend a year living in Grimmauld together with their families, and become close friends, but then Draco fucks off abroad without telling Harry or saying goodbye.

The fic kicks off years later, with Ron being kidnapped, and when he goes to rescue him, Harry sees a familiar face... At first I was going to make it ten years later, so they'd have been 28. But the more I wrote the more I felt like that length of time wasn't working for the type of characters they were turning into, and the sort of lives they'd been living all that time. So in the end I brought the timeframe back to seven years after they leave school. It means they're mid-20s rather than late; it's long enough for the war to have really ground them down, but not so long that they've totally lost all hope for change.

It was important to me too that there's a sense of some real political and social adjustments in the world of the fic. As in, the wizarding population has been living through years and years of war, and there are political implications and boundary lines and changes to Hogwarts, and so on. I wanted to make sure that enough time had passed for those changes to be really embedded. These people can barely remember what life was like before the war.

It was a really tricky thing to decide on, and I'm still not sure that I shoiuldn't have made it even earlier. I do still have to finish the fic, and then it will need massive edits (not least because the earlier chapters were all written two years ago!) so maybe that'll change again, I don't know. But you can assume they'll be in their 20s at least.

Thanks again for your interest, it's very kind of you!

#so nice of you anon #it warms my heart #and again thanks to my poor fth bidder #who has been so patient and so kind #such bad luck that writing this coincided with real life taking over #also i have never written anything close to this length before #i had not anticipated the level of writer's block #the need to step away from it at times #it's been such a great learning curve #anything i share about this fic is tagged btw #tacky's fth #lmao at my optimism in making a tag for it #'if i tag it i'll def get it finished sooner'

There is no such thing as a Christian who doesn't believe God is not sovereign over all aspects of, not just their lives but, the entire universe. The good, the bad, all happens as He wills it (Cf. Isaiah 45:7; Lamentations 3:37-38). We may not like certain events in our life and the world around us, but He is in control, always. There is absolutely nothing in the entire universe outside of His control. I’ll finish this with the words of R.C. Sproul: "If you don't believe that God ordains everything that comes to pass, bottom line, you don't believe in God... If God is not sovereign, God is not God. If there is one maverick molecule in the universe, one molecule running loose outside the scope of God's sovereign ordination, then ladies and gentleman, there is not the slightest confidence that you can have that any promise that God has ever made about the future will come to pass."

🌻, 🍀, 🌺 for Luna (I admit I'm not really a DW fan but I can tell your DW OCs are your focus right now and give you more opportunities to talk about them.)

🌻 [SUNFLOWER] Where would your OC get lost in the moment/beauty of the place?

Luna literally had to be dragged from the Eye of Orion in the Five Doctors when plot happened, mostly because she was zoning out in the location. Like who can blame her? It's a very pretty natural location, and she did nearly fall asleep before the Doctor started going through cosmic angst lol

�� [FOUR LEAF CLOVER] Would your OC spend hours looking for a four leaf clover?

She has. Multiple times. Because apparently the Doctor is just luckier than she is, they always manage to find it before her, much to her frustration

🌺 [HIBISCUS] What does your OC think is the prettiest name?

She's fond of flower names, Rose, Lilly, Violet etc. In fact in my Daemon AU that only exists in my head, her Daemon is named Tsubaki, after the Japanese word for Camelia!

#OC: Luna #story: chance coincidence and luck #thank you for enabling me! #the four leaf clover one is funny to me bc as a doctor who fan i know that #several incarnations would find it by accident #luna is especially pissed when five - who has notoriously bad luck that luna is convinced four broke a mirror #before regenerating and they all mised it - finds one before her

I thank my insomnia for letting me stay up late to do one final round of event lessons

thanks to that, I got the memory card in nb! (Because it just *wouldn't* come home. I collected ~190 items on the first box and was stuck on it until the very end, people.)

#starting to think this incredibly bad luck isn't a coincidence!! #the game is just against my simping for asmodeus *cries*

[diamondnokouzai]

just know im gonna keep myself up late tonight cause im so mad someone took my parking spot. and to be clear the part of the lot where my spot is in is like EMPTY besides that asshole. They Are Bothering Me On Purpose.

#.din #.txt #when bad things happen to me its on purpose towards me. when good things happen thats luck so thats coincidence. #persecutory 'delusion'? really? i find a myriad of evidence in this world that i am being targeted

Hi I felt that today was cursed yesterday when my niece did a specific thing and not to be woo woo on main but I was right

#today's very cursed and it's not 4 pm yet #u gotta step on my cold body to take away from me the fact that bad luck doesn't exist bc this can't be no coincidence

[alchemiclee]

I never had luck or won anything my whole life. but 3 times in the past couple years or so, I had luck and won small giveaway things,,,,,,but then the people just forgot to send me the prize every time. and I remembered about it a long time later and was afraid to ask about it.....they never remembered. so it's like I never won anything.

so basically having luck gets canceled out by not getting the prize. so still bad luck. as expected lmao I convinced that's how it's meant to be. i'm meant to alwuas have bad luck my whole life 😅

#words #why does this happen to me #is it a coincidence or is the universe purposely doing this #bad luck #it follows me and i think that's how my life is supposed to be

this feels more like a @caitmayart easter egg than a plot-related thing, but aelwyn’s cats look like they correspond to the non-adaine bad kids.

the little gray one is riz

the one-eyed tabby is fabian

the scrappy orange one (playing with a ribbon!) is kristen

i’m split on whether the black cat is fig or gorgug - my gut says gorgug but with all the talk around fig’s luck right now, a black cat seems appropriate

the siamese is whoever the black cat isn’t

or maybe i’m pulling a riz and it’s just a coincidence

I'm still in disbelief that the fire alarm went off in the middle of my Chinese listening exam

#like just the absolute coincidence and unluckiness of it all i can't believe it #so yeah it would be a stroke of luck if i got q. 15 right #the rest of the listening exam was definitely difficult in places but not too bad overall i think #and the reading exam was actually so good!! like I was shocked at how easy it was in places #hope that's a good sign lol #but yeah now I've only got my Chinese writing left which means I'll just be practicing characters and that's all! #darkeyedghost
