a (near) change of heart

A bonus entry in the Stranger series. :D (Call it #2.5! XD)

Fic: "a (near) change of heart" [FFN] [AO3]

Pairings/Characters: established!Fenrir Greyback/Eloise Midgen

Rating: K+

Words: ~1,500

Additional info: romance, cross gen, AU fic, sequential, Next Gen era, 3rd person POV

Summary: While living their life on the run, Eloise brings up the topic of Dark magic. Fenrir has his own opinions.

He could smell the rain coming before the first drops fell from the stone-colored sky. When the drizzle began, though, it noticeably hit Eloise's barriers as she walked the perimeter of their newest, small encampment in the opposite direction from him. But then the rain passed through as her magic took hold and the wards held, invisible shields to guard them so that they might catch their breaths.

"There's still such a chill in the air," Eloise mumbled as she joined Fenrir at his side and drew her cloak's hood up.

"Because it's barely spring," Fenrir huffed. "The final snow was last week."

She frowned but didn't argue further. Instead, she cast a Drying Charm as well as a Repelling Charm to keep the rain off them, and she mustered a smile for him when Fenrir reached for her cheek, wiping a stray droplet there.

The sight gave him pause, and Fenrir idled there with her for an extra heartbeat. He'd growled at her countless times before, that a life on the run was his life, that she couldn't possibly keep up…yet, here she was, still here and still smiling. They'd been on the run together for near three weeks after their close-call with the young werewolf wildling in that village not far from her home. They'd made camp five times now, amidst various backdrops and slightly warming weather.

But changing weather was nothing in the face of changing seasons and settings—countries, if they kept with his plans. Fenrir would be impressed, truly, if Eloise made it to a month with him in this world outside her cottage.

On that thought, Fenrir broke away from her and scanned the thin trees around them. "Time to hunt."

Eloise caught his arm just as he turned to bound away. "Fenrir, wait!"

He stared at her, halfway to a scowl.

"It's just—we're not far from a main road into town."

"Which is precisely why we'll move again in the morning."

"I meant"—she settled him with a stern gaze and pursed lips—"try not to enjoy yourself too much tonight."

As if he needed to be told! Fenrir rolled his eyes, didn't bother reminding Eloise that he was acutely aware of the Ministry's pursuit of him, and patted her hand once before prying it from his arm. Then he darted into the tree line while Eloise stayed behind to set up the rest of their camp.

Sometimes, Fenrir had the stray thought to regale Eloise with certain tales, to highlight his lack of incompetence around Muggles. …but, always, he stifled the fleeting desire. Just because he hadn't scared his witch off yet didn't mean he wouldn't bring up the wrong tale of his past deeds. And he'd…grown accustomed to having her in his life.

While that was a strange enough thought, Fenrir grimaced to himself, not daring to think of what might need be done if she ever stopped being part of it.

Fenrir kept low to the ground, darting after lithe but juicy prey. Rabbits were still especially frightened at this time of year even with the fear of winter behind them, and the chase they gave helped him expend some of his wolfish energy.

Back at camp, Eloise tended the fire and kept quiet while she prepared the three rabbits Fenrir had captured. She paid him no mind, the way Fenrir relaxed and eyed her while she worked—that was common for them, not just in the past weeks but from before that, from their days at her cottage. But this evening her right foot tapped against the damp, packed earth, her knees twitching as she used a Slicing Charm to skin and prep dinner.

The werewolf crossed his arms in front of his chest and frowned. He'd seen this before, these last few weeks. Eloise got antsy sometimes, whenever they were close by to people. Was it a longing? For some semblance of community? Despite Eloise's old hermit habits, she'd still ventured into villages to do business, so—

Eloise interrupted his inner musings when she met his eyes. She waved her wand, cleaning herself up now that the rabbits were roasting by the fire. "You're certain you weren't seen?"

He tucked his arms in more tightly. "I know how to stalk and hunt," he snarled.

She blanched. Just as suddenly, color rushed to her lightly scarred cheeks, and she nodded. "It's…not actually you I'm worried about."

He furrowed his brow at her.

Since he didn't make another irritated sound, Eloise inched closer, beside him on a log he'd dragged close to their fire. Despite their proximity, Eloise frowned. "I'm just wondering if my magic's enough."

Now he really didn't know where her mind had gone. "I know I've called you 'daft,' but—"

Eloise mustered a smile and shook her head, leaning against his right side as if assuring him that his words hadn't made her stupid. "I'm just concerned. Most of what I know is defensive, Fenrir."

He wouldn't've guessed that, given the power behind her Blasting Curse nearly a month ago. "So? Learn offensive magic, then."

Eloise licked her lips. The fire crackled as she took a breath before coming back with, "…even the Unforgivables?"

For the second time that evening, she gave him pause, this time with her surprising words. How often he kept Eloise and Dark things separate in his mind—yet, also for the second time tonight, here they were, intermingling.

Eloise raised her dark eyebrows at Fenrir, waiting for a response.

He sat up straighter and unfurled his arms, his hand resting by her thigh. "Why bring it up now?" No, that wasn't what he wanted to ask. He twisted his lips around as he replayed her words in his mind and pictured her hesitation. Fenrir stared at Eloise. "You've never asked my permission before. Though you've heeded well warnings about sticking close to camp." He didn't bring up how she'd gotten good at watching the lunar cycle, too, and knew when to stay put when the Moon was full and Fenrir put distance between them.

She hummed at that, resting her head against his shoulder. "It's been on my mind for a little while now…"

Clearly. Though he didn't remark aloud, Fenrir exhaled, the sound coming out somewhat harsher than a sigh but not as gruff as one of his growls.

Eloise turned her face in toward his arm, and he could feel her smile, briefly, against him, even through his travel cloak's sleeve. "Being with you has given me a lot to think about, Fenrir. That includes those kinds of magic—not that I'm looking for a discussion about your past," she tacked on quickly. Her hand found his on the log, and she brought it up onto her thigh and laced their fingers, giving his hand a squeeze, reminding him that she wasn't scared of the claws ending his fingertips.

He shook his head. "Then why?"

"Well… I wonder if every user of such magic always had evil intent at heart. We don't call it 'Evil magic' but Dark magic." Eloise paused and faced the campfire. "Given the right threat, the right dire circumstances, I believe anyone could be capable of wielding such magic."

Fenrir peered down at her. With her attention elsewhere, he caught the glint in her eye—one that reminded him of a den mother, baring her fangs. He fought a thrilling shiver that wanted to sprint along his spine and once more shook his head, tugging Eloise's hand crosswise so that he could pull her into his lap. "Don't concern yourself with Dark magic, Eloise," he mumbled into her ear, pressing his nose into the swept-back hair by her nape.

But neither that opinion nor his ministrations were enough to satisfy her. She twisted her head up to gawk at him.

"I've…been wolf longer than man, feels like. But that's not always a bad thing. And I can smell the taint Dark magic leaves." He frowned, thinking of the Dark magic that made werewolves, werewolves, but he just as easily dismissed the thought—especially since being a wolf had its perks, and he wouldn't trade those for anything. But how to get his main point across to her…? "It's not difficult to be around until it builds up," he finished with a sigh. But that, too, got him thinking, of times he'd spent around Bellatrix Lestrange or the Dark Lord himself, and Fenrir's frown deepened to a grimace as he went silent.

Eloise, too, turned quiet, much like before. They sat for a bit in silence, watching the flames lick at meat and crisp it. Then she ventured, "…so, you're saying you don't want to see me change?"

Her interpretation caught him unawares. This damned woman…! He blinked and huffed, unwilling to concede, choosing instead to squeeze her tighter, flush, against him.

And Eloise leaned into the gesture and relished the contact, all the while chuckling at her wolf's nonverbal admission.

;w; They heal my heart so…! TTwTT It's been a few yrs since "The Sound of an Amorous Stranger" came out and I am working on getting the final entry, "The Sound of Homecoming," done so we can all enjoy those feels, but I was recently thinking about Elfen quite a bit and I think I had this idea in a dream…??? Idk! Anyway, this is set btwn "Distant Stranger" and "Amorous Stranger," and (dw not spoiling for "Amorous Stranger"!) a Certain Thing™ in "Amorous Stranger" got me thinking about Eloise's interest/willingness ever to use Dark magic. Tbqh, I don't rly see her using it, outside of the war or, as she says here, other dire circumstances… Honestly, she kinda has a point?! (Kinda like with Molly and Bellatrix in DH.) So! But I like this idea that Fenrir also wouldn't want to see her change so much, so have some hcs~ AHHHH, now I have major feels, so hopefully I can complete "Homecoming" in short order now!

Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave an anon/unsigned review via the FFN link or comment via the AO3 link at the top of the post, especially if you enjoyed this!

What was the HP fandom on AO3 writing in 2022?

some stats diving, ship- and femslash-focused.

default filters used for everything unless indicated otherwise: language: english, no crossovers. only on AO3 (obviously)

hmm someday i'll do a yearly breakdown maybe.

for reference, there were ~324,676 total works in the HP tag updated in 2022 and before, so the top ship Drarry makes up 16% of HP works.

ships in this list but not the former: jegulus, dorlene, and regulus & sirius.

ships in the former list but not this one: snarry, sevmione, tomarry.

harry the character is tagged in 42.7% of all HP works.

the list of "fastest-growing HP character tags in 2022" was almost identical to this. sirius, remus, james, and lily went up one place, severus and ginny down by one, and ron dropped by two. no change in the top 3.

i'm thinking of doing one for HP ships but am unsure which ships to do. you can get a rough estimation from graph #2 though!

A closer look at just the 2022 ships:

filters used: english, no crossovers, works updated between 2022-01-01 and 2022-12-31.

color = ship type by canonical gender. outlined = canon ship

Background vs main pairing ships:

most commonly tagged ships, with the otp:true filter:

very pretty spread of (canon gender, not AO3 category) F/M & M/M ships here.

notable: there is not a single snape ship in the first list, and two snape ships in the second (sevmione at #4 !! and snarry at #8). grindeldore is the other new entry, and

romione, dorlene and regulus & sirius fell out of the top 10

this is probably a better view though:

a mix of all ships in either of the top two graphs (excluding the platonic ship regulus & sirius by definition of the otp:true filter), plus remadora.

open to more ship suggestions, but at some point i need to think about a size cutoff

anyway: some interesting strata here:

snarry+sevmione at the >60-70% mark. (do all snape ships show this trend? just crossgen snape ships? what about other crossgen ships? to be investigated)

grindeldore is an expected outlier due to the different canonical time period

marauders era tends to have more fics-with-multiple-tagged-ships. unexpected - there are so many more named lightning gen characters! lightning gen fandom more splintered/fragmented?

clustering of canon couples at the 15-20% mark, surprisingly consistent across marauders vs lightning gen

oooooo i could soapbox about this dorlene outlier for days. (tldr: if you want to write OFCxOFC that's all well and good, but writing OFCxOFC as what's quite clearly a background ship and a background ship alone? i think we can do better.)

Multi-shipping & ship overlap

marauders era is dominated by one main fanon pairing. no other “/” pairing with either of these two characters makes the top 10 list. in contrast, wrt lightning gen, Draco, Harry, and Hermione are all shipped with each other, with all three combinations making the top 10 list.

there is one pair of marauders era ships with ship overlap, though. which means stats! also included remadora as an additional comparison point since that's another big overlapping ship

jegulus AND jily are tagged in 675 works, out of 3944 works (17%) where all three of james, lily, and regulus are tagged.

meanwhile drarry + dramione: 80 works tagging both ships, out of 8128 works tagging all 3 characters, with an overlap of <1% fics tagging both ships. these two do not mix.

actually ykw this all was very funny

---

✨ FEMSLASH! ✨

filters used: english, no crossovers, works updated between 2022-01-01 and 2022-12-31, and category:F/F.

ok so that's a complete nonstarter 😂

tried two ways of filtering down to just femslash ships without losing too much else in the process:

1) excluding works tagged M/M, F/M, and Gen (leaving 2765 fics)

dashed outline = cross-gen ship. solid = marauders gen. everything else = lightning gen.

oh, interesting, people are writing genderbend wolfstar? *checks fics* -- no they're not. 'nuff said.

2) instead, tried adding the otp:true filter (2402 fics)

very similar results -- both lists had the same 9 femslash ships. Bellamione (#1 on both), Fleurmione (#2), Pansmione (#3/#4), Dorlene (#3/#5), Linny (#4/#6), Cissamione (#5/#6), Ginmione (#7/#9), Marylily (#7/#9), Ginsy (#8/#10).

i don't see any obvious trends re. which ships are ranked higher on one list vs the other.

a real quick rating comparison between categories, using the otp:true filter:

"angst" and "fluff" were the top two tags used for most categories so i decided to try a bit of:

<1 = more angst works than fluff, >1 = more fluff works than angst.

the other top tags for each category:

F/F and F/M: both romance (#3)

M/M: established relationship (#3)

Multi: polyamory (#3)

Other: au canon divergence (#3). "other" was used to refer to a mix of NB/trans character, thingfic, and x reader.

Gen: au canon divergence (#1). i was worried about using the otp:true filter for gen fic but the top two tags were indeed & tags (harry & severus, regulus & sirius).

HP Rec Fest, Day 7

New day, new recs for @hprecfest! This one was a bit challenging for me; I admit I prefer to indulge EWE over canon-compliant (nothing against them, I just don’t care for Hinny and Drastoria 🫠) and it took me a second to think of anything beyond the iconic Turn. The rare pair rec was equally hard as so many of my top cross-gen pairs (hello Sirry 🤡) don’t follow the epilogue either. As you can see from the slightly longer blurbs I feel very strongly about the fics I chose - coincidence or not they’re both hidden gems by two popular authors - and I love that I got the perfect excuse to rec them!

Day 7) A canon-compliant fic:

Drarry

The Years That Walk Between by Femme (E, 15k) - past Draco/Snape

Draco finds his way after the war.

this is an oldie and I’ve always wondered why it is underrated on AO3, what with Femme being such a popular author. I can only guess it’s due to the Snaco tag but this side ship (emphasis on past too, Snape is very much dead here) is what makes this fic so unique imo. Draco’s love and pain are quintessential to his arc and to his future encounter with Harry, and I found his grieving journey truly beautiful and moving. for years now this fic has been one of my favourite comfort reads to revisit on a sad rainy day and I hope more readers will find solace too ❤️‍🩹

Rare pair

As We Tremble and We Bleed by @lqtraintracks (Harry/Teddy & minor Ginny/Dean, E, 5.8k)

I notice things. I always have. I’d feel guiltier about what Harry and I are doing if I wasn’t fairly certain Ginny went first.

only this ship to make me read angsty infidelity, ahh bless you lqt ❤️‍🩹 this is a brand new Hardy treat by the Hardy god themselves and let me tell you, lqt writes them like no one. for years now I’ve been obsessed with this kind, lovable Teddy and the way he’s such a good match for helplessly smitten Harry. their chemistry fills my heart and leaves me hanging by a moment: it’s hot and complicated, thrilling and devastating, slutty and tender, edifying and ruining, in the best self-indulgent emotional rollercoaster that only angsty problematique ships can deliver. I feel so lucky that I have one of my favourite authors writing my two favorite ships!

Thanks to the mods for putting on this wonderful fest!

HP Rec Fest - Day 31

Prompt: A fav among favs @hprecfest

Hold the Line

Characters: Alice Longbottom, Albus Dumbledore, Aurora Sinistra, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape

Pairings: Alastor/Minerva, Minerva/Severus

Creator: eldritcher

Rating: M/R

Word Count: 24,834

Summary: Then Love comes along, plucky and persistent, and proceeds to drink all her scotch.

Why You Should Check It Out:

This was written as the most generous gift for me, and it is glorious.

This story is such a marvelous conception, the way it settles into the corners of canon and shows how Minerva's life unfolds, with the beautiful bittersweetness that Eldritcher manage to instill in all their stories.

Their inventive ideas about magic and how it interacts with characters' souls and lives are absolutely genius.

The idea of love for an ailing Abraxas as motivating Riddle's actions is genius, and so different from most of the conceptions we have of Voldemort. I adore that canon Dumbledore was so very wrong about his inability to understand love being his great handicap. The irony the author has given that stance here is absolutely delicious.

Same goes for Minerva's defining, unrequited love for Alastor.

And the idea of how Hogwarts Castle's magic and the Headmaster's work in symbiosis is absolutely canon in my head now -- so inventive and wonderful.

We Change the Nature of Things

Pairings: Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall; Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape

Creator: dueltastic

Rating: MA/NC-17

Word Count: 8,383

Summary: Albus makes some observations about Minerva and Severus.

Why You Should Check It Out:

This fic is a masterpiece of a musing on the subtle and profound ways three very different people affect one another. It involves a highly unlikely threesome that ends up making the reader nod in agreement.

Right Nor Wrong

Characters: Argus Filch, Dolores Umbridge, Minerva McGonagall, Mrs. Norris, Severus Snape

Pairing: Minerva/Severus

Creator: kellychambliss

Rating: M/R

Warning: voyeurism

Word Count: 11,711

Summary: In Greek mythology, Argus the guardian of Io is sometimes said to have a hundred eyes. In the wizarding world, Argus the caretaker of Hogwarts has only two eyes, but he sees a great deal all the same.

Why You Should Check It Out:

This fic gives us voyeur-Argus Filch, observing (and lusting after) Severus Snape, who is otherwise entangled. It's a story about desires fulfilled and unfulfilled and makes Filch into a three-dimensional character and acute observer rather than a simple figure of fun.

The Steadfast Tin Soldier

Characters: Alastor Moody, Albus Dumbledore, Barty Crouch Jr., Minerva McGonagall

Pairings: Alastor/Minerva, Barty Crouch Jr/Minerva

Creator: selmak

Rating: M/R

Warning: Possibly DubCon depending on your definition of informed sexual consent. No rape.

Word Count: 20,000

Summary: Minerva hopes that Alastor will never know exactly what Minerva McGonagall did with Barty while the real Alastor was in the trunk.

Why You Should Check It Out:

This fic puts you firmly and frighteningly inside Alastor Moody's head as he copes with the horrors of being locked in that bloody trunk for months, and what goes on there isn't pretty, but it helps him cope. As does Minerva McGonagall, once she stops castigating herself for a moment of indiscretion that ends up torturing them both. This Minerva and Alastor are recognizably in-character, but they're shown dealing with a very odd situation, and it brings out things we don't often see from either. The way the relationship between them develops is beautifully drawn: painful, tender, funny. Read it if you want to gasp, cry, and laugh, all in the space of a few paragraphs.

The Reluctant Phoenix

Characters: Albus Dumbledore, Elphias Doge, Horace Slughorn, Minerva McGonagall

Pairings: Albus/Horace, Albus/Minerva, Elphias/Horace

Creator: purplefluffycat

Rating: MA/NC-17

Warnings: Cross-gen - teacher/student (Minerva is 18), infidelity in secondary pairing.*.

Word Count: 23,600

Summary: Albus thought that he was a non-running member of the human race when it came to romantic relationships. If pushed, he would have said that he was the kind of wizard who preferred wizards. -All that, of course, was before Minerva came along.

Why You Should Check It Out:

OK, even if I didn’t have a soft spot for student!Minerva/Albus, I’d still have loved this because of the (I feel like I say this about all the Beholder fics, but it’s twoo, it’s twoo!) wonderful characterizations. Especially Albus, in all his flawed glory–here, as a man who is a genius in many arenas, but a bit thick when it comes to love. Add in fluid sexuality, and I’m a syrupy mess on the floor.

Talk to me about SNARRYYYYYY (had to sorry 😂) 💛

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it (and also maybe a fic rec).

Haha hi Danni!!

Initial impression: confusion, hesitance, a little weirded out. Wasn't Severus in love with Harry's mom? Isn't that kinda creepy to be dating Lily's kid?

Improved impression: UNHINGED SCREAMING. Wasn't Severus in love with Harry's mom? Yes, and that's why this ship is so interesting (although one could argue it was platonic love but that was definitely not what was written in canon). Isn't that kinda creepy to be dating Lily's kid? Yes, and it creates such a fascinating relationship dynamic. Harry's eyes, Lily's eyes. Who does Severus really see when he looks at Harry? How can he resist falling for Harry when he already fell so hard for Lily all those years ago (and still carries a torch for her)? Answer: he can't.

In terms of cross-gen pairings for Severus, Snarry is probably my favorite. I don't really see him as the type of person to go after one of his students unless it was under very pressurized circumstances. Say, for example, in the middle of a war and he's just trying to do his goddamm best at keeping this infuriating kid alive. I could also possibly see Snaco, but that's an essay for another day. Although Eldritcher has an amazing Snudley fic that I devoured.

Surprisingly enough, I also enjoy reading Snarry in different AUs, outside the HP universe or the war doesn't exist universes. I attribute that largely to you actually. You kept posting so many Snarry recs in the CoMS discord, and I kept clicking them haha. But I do think their underlying personalities remain. Severus is an insecure, bitter, ugly (yes ugly) man. He thinks the best years of his life were stolen from him. He does not see any reason to care. Harry is an impassioned, stubborn, reckless youth. He listens to Severus. He finds a way to get past that bitter exterior and in a way Severus lets him. He makes Severus feel seen when really that was all he ever wanted.

And wow, that turned into a whole essay. Apparently, I have more thoughts about Snarry than I thought. I've never written a full Snarry fic, but I am oh-so-tempted by the Snarry AUctober Fest.

My ship rating: Snarrytastic

My fic rec: Miraculous by @liladiurne [E, 15.5k]

When Severus finds out that the gorgeous and charming young man Lucius set him up with, the one who's accompanying him to his mother's charity ball, is really a hired escort, he is furious and disappointed. At first. But then he realises he can use this to his advantage. After years of celibacy, he's finally found someone he connects with, someone who understands him. And this time, Severus actually has the means to see him again. Or the money. But if money's what it takes to spend time with Harry, then he's more than willing to drain his family's fortune. In an unexpected twist of faith, he might not need to.

(been thinking a lot about this fic recently and ik you've already read it because i'm pretty sure you're the one who recc'ed it on the server, but it keeps spinning around in my head. soooo goood)

20 Questions for Fic Writers!

Thanks so much for the tag gracelesslady23!! ♡

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

28 (14 in English and 14 in Finnish)

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

106,723

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I mainly write for the Harry Potter fandom, though I did write one Star Wars fic (dipped my toes into Obikin). I’ll post it in English some day.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos?

These are all Prongsfoot.

Bathe with me (4k, Explicit)

What are best friends for (2k, Explicit)

A lesson in love (6k, Mature)

First day of work (730, Mature/Explicit)

One of these days (388, Gen)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Absolutely!! If someone has taken the time to leave a comment I will happily respond.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don’t know if I have any angsty endings in my fics but probably By my side is one of the angstiest stories I’ve posted on AO3. Just your average Midsummer fic with some necromancy and raising someone from the dead.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

They all have happy endings, but probably A lesson in love, which has a feel good ending, or Specialised in you where they get to a happy ending through some initial angst and drama. Feels even happier then, doesn’t it?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

None so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Nobody should have to deal with it.

9. Do you write smut?

Yesss. Whatever they end up doing, there’s usually an emotional connection there because that’s how I prefer to write intimate scenes. But ngl, half the time I'm pushing myself to get the words out because I still think "oh no, is this really awkward" but then I remember the post I saw here on Tumblr where an actual published novel had the cringiest smut I've ever seen, and I'm fine again. We've all got this!

10. Do you write crossovers?

No.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I’m aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I translate my own fics.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Years ago I wrote a few HP crack fics together with others.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

James/Sirius. (To quote Snape: Always. 💀) Almost from the start. Sometime before the fifth book came out I was completely into Prongsfoot. Not counting years.

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

I don’t post anything until I finish it first, so I have no hanging WIPs on AO3. But I have plenty in my WIP folder. I like to remain hopeful that I’ll end up writing them eventually. Not going to stress about anything.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I can come up with some nice plot ideas, funny and tense scenarios and good banter between J and S.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

My ability to finish fics and focus on one fic at a time has felt difficult lately. I don’t know why I seem to run out of steam when I have the last third left. Also descriptions are hard for me, partly because while I love how they set the mood and make the text more vivid, I’m always eager to just write what the characters are doing and saying to each other. Descriptions in English are especially hard because it’s my second language and I’m always guessing if what I write has the right nuance and tone etc.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

Sure, why not if it fits the story. I added a very minimal amount of French flavour to Fashion and hoped that no one would get too pissed off about it (mostly because of my poor attempt to write French English accent, not the actual French in there).

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Harry Potter. The first fic I ever posted as a teenager was a humour fic where Harry and his friends time travelled into the past and for some reason all the guys had to take part in a beauty competition (Mr Hogsmeade ’76) hahaha. This fic does not exist anywhere online anymore.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Specialised in you is dear to me because it was not supposed to become at all what it is but James Potter took over the plot and I was a mere scribe at that point. Also I have a 20k Prongsfoot fic in Finnish that I haven’t translated into English yet but it’s the apple of my eye. I did a lot of research and put so much time and effort and all my Prongsfoot feels into it. It’s loosely inspired by the film Velvet Goldmine i.e. glam rock, glitter and S pining for J.

Tagging @fiendishfyre @siriuslystarbucks @solitaire-sol @adiha @prongsfootloves

No pressure. <3

KHR Recs

These goodies are on FFN. Maybe some were transferred over to Ao3.

Russian Roulette by Vixen Tail

PreCanon OC born in Russia derails canon. Amazing world-building, accurate major events with mentioned divergences, slow burn endgame romance with Reborn, also she does have other relationships. I don't know how to talk about this fic without spoilers. This is a huge series, remember that. She's on the last part of the series now (vixen thinks) and the chapters are huge. I swear to God, this is the #1 khr fic for me.

Anything by wolfsrainrules and northeast.

Breathe Throught the Flames by NorthPeach

Ichigo is reborn. He has magic fire powers. And is that... a parent? Who's parenting him?

Some Say Ice, I Favor Fire by NorthPeach

"Consider actual unicorns. Dragons." Skull tried to warn you, Reborn. Hibari and Tsuna raise a dragon. Only 2 chapters but they're beautiful. Hibari loves his firstborn child and Will raise the best dragon ever.

Slip Up by wolfrainsrules

Undergoing rewrite under Slip Up Revamped. HP/KHR. Skull is Harry and the Arcobalenco learns what kind of person their "Lackey" really is.

Also on Ao3. All their fics are great. Those that aren't oneshots are not yet completed, however.

Out of this World series by Luki Fanfic

This one is on Ao3 as well. The series is about the 10th Gen plus Tsuyoshi going to a new world to build a life. There's a BNHA and a Pokémon crossover. BNHA is a more Slice of Life Humor while the Pokemon I purely Humor, not quite Crack. Pokemon does have Hibari, though.

Black Sky by Umei no Mei

HPxKHR Starts with FemHP being raised by the Black's before she gets with Xanxus. Fair warning, very long WiP fic. Also, stays with HP for a long time. Comes off with a very Period Piece since Dorea (femHP) was raised by Old People Nobility. Amazing worldbuilding. Everything slots together beautifully, from both fandoms. Also, Dorea is a single mom for a while because of Nono's bitch ass. But she does get to meet Daniella (badass grandma with a crossbow who led the Vongola during WW2, you will adore this character, she hated almost every family decision her son made)! Beautiful communication between Dorea and Xanxus, once they realize there are cultural and personal misunderstandings.

He Deserves Better by AliceVermillion

Cliche twin fic, Tauna runs away and is taken in by the Varia.

Keeping Your Character by Insanity-Red

OC's reincarnation was messed up. She ends up replacing Lambo and is aged up. Humorous, she torments Tsuna by being so blase about it all.

Don't Kiss and Tell by Luki Fanfic

Nana's family has a curse. They swap bodies with anyone they kiss. Kyoko and Tsuna take advantage of this at a young age. Great idea, both get to experience being a different gender (or rather, the expectations for boys and girls).

Generation Cross by Luki Fanfic

Ok, just read all the authors works. I hadn't realized how many of them I had saved. Tsuna dies and somehow wakes up in his mother's body with a 2 yr old him. First step, get a divorce.

Time Tourists by Caticature

Abandoned, but a great idea. Time travel to 1st Gen and they all look like kids. Misunderstandings ensue.

Harry's Housekeeping by Wolven Haven

HP/KHR Mistaken identity at the wrong/right time and place lead to Harry getting a cleaning job in the Mafia. Oh well, Harry's always been good at cleaning. P.S. Harry cleans up murder scenes! Not graphic. Timeline is during the forming of the Arcenbalenco. Skull is Teddy, who is superworried about his oblivious godfather.

Intuition Overdrive by vaporeanxglaceon

After Nono seals Tsuna's Flames, his Intuition goes into overdrive to compensate for the loss, leading to awake but catatonic boy. When Reborn arrives to turn Tsuna into the next boss, he needs to find a way to help Tsuna before anything else can happen. Iemitsu and Nana are parents who are trying their best but don't know what to do to help him. WiP, maybe abandoned. Such sweet Angst, though.

Red String by Lady Hallen

I think this one is on Ao3, too. HP/KHR FemHPxReborn Hyacinth(femHP) and Reborn have a meet cute and gets together. Super good, lots of chapters, WiP. I want to gush about it but I don't want to spoil it.

Fics by sakuradrmonalchemist

Their fics always have so much potential but seem to all be WiPs, keep that in mind. She has so many xover fics. For KHR, there are HP, YYH, Natsumes Book of Friends, BNHA, High School DxD, Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Batman, Tsukihime, Grimm, Kingdom Hearts, fate/stay night, Naruto, One Piece, Card Captor Sakura, Magical Girl Lyrical Nonoha and more!

Igneous by apathyinreverie

HP/KHR Harry/Reborn After Voldemort's defeat, Harry becomes involved in the Mafia, by being kidnapped/sold by his uncle. After a bad choice by others to have Harry recover under the safety of the Blood Wards (which no longer exist, you idiots), Harry's Flames are forcefully awakened and others try to force Flame Bonds on him. Reborn has a mission to find out if a Family knows how to forcefully activate Flames. He comes across a newly awakened, nearly naked, Sky that snap Bonds him. Very good, happens mostly in the HP world after that beginning, with future Arcabalenco popping up. Harry gets to pull off the We Are Not Amused Aura in Kingslys new MoM office with a dumbass Head Auror. It's beautiful.

Fortuna by 1458

In one world, Iemitsu left his family behind in Namimori. This is not that world. (Un)fortunately. Idiot dad Iemitsu who.... attempts to dad but has no clue how. Nana and Tsuna move to Italy with Iemitsu.

Of Organized Crime and Schizophrenia by AshGopal

Naruto/KHR Tsunade dies and expects to go to the Pure Lands. Instead, she's reborn a Mafia heiress who has a voice in her head. At least she's not alone. The Sannin are together once again. PS Ryohei and Mukuro are Sannin, too.

Not Quite Myths by Falia7

Tauna is Mythological Catnip. It starts with a unicorn and gets worse from there. Gokuderas in heaven, Reborn is ready to lose it, Tsuna is willfully ignoring everything. There's also a multinational cult in Tsunas honor.

No Ones Here to Sleep by mokona-pyuh

Naruto/KHR Skull is Gaara!Shukaku doesn't take kindly to being extracted from Gaara and yeets them into another world. Gaara is reborn with a giant Tanuki still hiding in his soul. Crackish.

Dusk to Dawn by reighost

HP/KHR Harry is reborn as Tsuna. Tsuna adpats to his new life and "Magic". Hopefully he can have a normal life. He makes friends with kid!Kyouya. Also Kyouya's family in this is amazing. If I ever write a fic with Kyouyas parents in, I'm going to beg reighost to let me play with them. Also, reighost is Araceil's amazing partner. They used to do a lot together. Dusk to Dawn is also a spinoff of one of Araceil's (deleted :'() fics.

Under Wing by reighost

HP/KHR After Sirius dies, Harry learns that he's not who he thinks. Desperate to escape dark!Dumbledore, he seeks out his birth family, the Hibaris. We get a peek at a few other fandoms on his way home. He's Kyouya's beloved baby brother in this.

Sincerely, Shattered Shards by You Light the Sky

Nana's family has a special gift. They can give pieces of their hearts away. But no one liked Tsuna's heart. Until Reborn came to town. WiP. Made me cry a bit.

The Final Boss by Sakura Hyuuga

Gamer!Tsuna, Accidental GenderBent!Tsuna! Tsuna's life becomes a game after a realistic dream where he hit yes to play. He thought it was just a dream when a prompt opened up saying only the female version was unlocked. When he woke up, it definitely wasn't a dream. She is not amused. Humor, WiP, funny 'omake' bits.

Of Steel, of Iron, of Stone by Seito

Warning:Angst, Terminal Illness. Tsuna claims he can't become Decimo. Reborn finds out why after a disastrous use of the Dying Will Bullet.

Burn Me with Fire by Shadowblayze

HP/KHR. After burning Quirrel to death, he starts dreaming of an angry man trapped in ice. With a mentor, Harry learns how to fly free. Blaise Zabini friendship

Trading Yesterday by Shadowblayze

HP/KHR With sequel, Stealing Tomorrow. Kawahira takes the Sky Pacifier after Luce's death and finds a new Sky to give it to. The remaining Arcobalenco panic and desperately try to find their new Sky. Meanwhile, 8 yr old Harry has been given the keys to his freedom, with one catch. He will die before his 30s.

Song of Truth and Light by TheSocialBookworm

Demigods are rare and feared. Someone so "No-Good" can't be one... right? Drabbles about Tsuna the hidden Demigod.

Xanxus' Babysitter by Starchains

HP/KHR. Harry ends up employed at Vongola Mansion and becomes Xanxus' personal servant. Harry refuses to let another old man's incompetence ruin a child. WiP

Kyoko by Discoabc

SI reborn as Kyoko. This is Not Ideal. Kyoko tries to get away from the future she know is waiting for r her. It goes... hrm. Well, it's certainly a different way to become part of the Underworld.

Oh wow babe thank you for these recs!!
