4,16, 23 & 26!
ash!!! hello <33
4. Link your 3 favorite fics right now.
: o
lemme go into my bookmarks real quick.
The onyx in radiance—look, look, i know. but give it a chance ok? it’s not age gap or predatory or whatever people have in mind about unconventional ships,,,it’s actually very very fluffy and fun and the way harry smacks riddle around is a thing of beauty. (if u do read it, make sure to read the oneshot before it too!)
Parents sitting—it’s this wip that for updated after like,,,half a decade when i’d almost given up hope but god, it’s wonderful. i love it. it’s basically deaged!hinny and the next gen kids scrambling to take care of their baby parents while finding out some rough truths about their childhoods.
Gems of great price—ok so i’m technically cheating bc this is a series of 3 fics but like. they’re short. and nice. and very very sweet. it’s harry/marcus and another lomonaaeren work (clearly i’m in a Mood these days) but i promise you’ll love it. the dynamic these two share is v v fun and i don’t think i’ve ever seen it before.
16. Do you research for your fics? If so, how deep of a rabbit hole have you gone down by accident when researching?
oof yes, so so much. arguably one of my fav parts about the whole experience. since i mostly write slice-of-life one shots, there’s not a lot of opportunities for it but i do fall into rabbit holes ab british culture/geography/food quite a lot. i think the deepest possibly might be going right back to like,,,anglo-saxon history and the vikings and all the invasions bc i was trying to figure out some cultural quirk lol (those r my fav kind tho)
23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?
oh man oh man. this is—a tough one. i think outsider pov, definitely. also gen tropes usually come easier to me! found family, ‘x is a good parent’, hurt/comfort etc etc. one hyper specific trope would be ‘dominant older one submits to a younger one’ esp when the former is like,,,super accomplished & intimidating compared to the latter. subversion, my beloved <3
but like. if w’re talking nsfw,,,i’m absolutely in love with writing cockwarming and blowjobs in particular.
26. What’s your biggest distraction when writing?
myself, lmao. i have terrible executive dysfunction and the attention span of a goldfish so i find it v hard to concentrate on one thing. there’s also this whole concept of the internet at the fingertips that makes things v v hard bc i keep remembering little things i wanna do or look up and then bam, distracted. like,,.someone tell me why i need to look up the difference between medieval and victorian fashions or the balkanisation of the east while trying to write sirius and harry binding?????

Fanfic Recs: Married
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow! You guys really want recs for when Harry and Ginny are married! I usually focus on stories where they are getting together because
Tumblr media
for me, but! Since there are so many requests, I’ve done my best to cobble together a list for you even though I may not be the best person to ask based on my reading tastes. Also, wow if you have read every single story of the authors I have rec’ed because even I have not yet (you must know more stories than me then!).
All stories with * indicate that it’s a WIP.
Married without Children
Tumblr media
I wish I had more of these – if others have recs, please send my way!
gone was any trace of you by @annerbhp
You’re probably all tired of me rec’ing this story, but hey, it’s one of my favorites and it fits the request!
Ginny is injured in a Quidditch match by @floreatcastellumposts​
I love a panicked Harry.
If the Fates Allow by @thebiwholived
In which our favorite married couple work through some of their trauma after the war.
Snitches, Bubbles, and Pizza by little0bird
A lovely slice of domestic bliss, where Harry takes care of an exhausted, busy Ginny. Made me melt a little inside.
Acaronar by @gryffindormischief
Ahhhh, such an adorable, sultry, warm and gooey delight of a story. It made me feel better on a bad day.
Married with Young Children
Tumblr media
I aimed for very young, like not in Hogwarts yet young for this section.
Strangers at Drakeshaugh by Northumbrian
A fantastic Muggle outsider POV of our favorite married couple and their children. It’s not primarily focused on Harry/Ginny, but there’s adventure, there’s lots of interesting ways the Potters interact with and are perceived by these Muggles.
The War Isn’t Over When the Soldiers Come Home by keepcalmsmile
Another great Muggle outsider POV when Harry and Ginny are married. It’s the perspective of a new Muggle nanny, who surprisingly has more in common with the eccentric Potters than she first thinks. 
Blackboards and Broomsticks* by @glisseowrites
An absolute delightful professor!Harry story where, in this universe, he decides to become the DADA professor much sooner than we usually read about. The writing is truly amazing, bringing interesting OCs, seeing Harry transition into teaching, and spending more time with his burgeoning family. 
Unsettled Spaces by tosca
Part I | Part II | Part III
Crossover with Batman: Struggling with her place in a new world, Ginny finds solace in a particular case at work that takes her across the Atlantic and helps her examine her life. I actually never read crossovers, but this one certainly captured my attention! I like seeing Ginny in other careers aside from Quidditch and how her and Harry’s choices might cause rifts, and whether they can bridge the distance.
Just Harry by @glisseowrites
Ginny gets Harry an amazing birthday gift. The banter, the humor, the feels –this story hits such a lovely, soft spot.
Coal by @floreatcastellumposts
Two Christmases, a lifetime apart. For all the things we put Harry through, we always want to see him with the happiness he so very much deserves.
quiddity by @gryffindormischief
James Sirius is quiet, and it’s worrying Harry. Gryffie has a bunch of others and plenty of fluff in her work if you crave more!
a collection of drabbles by @fightfortherightsofhouseelves
There are some adorable dad!Harry stories in this collection, including chapters 14, 16, 19, and 21.
How I Met Your Mum by NaruKoibito (me)
Lily Luna wants to know.
Married with Older Children
Between Walls and Harvest Moons by @ellizablue
During Albus’s third year in Cursed Child timeframe. It’s heavily focused on the Al’s disconnect with his parents. Ginny pays him a visit. There are heartbreaking moments of Harry angsting over his relationship with Al, but I have such a soft spot for Ginny & Al stories, and this one hit all of them.
It’s Tea Time Series* by @ellizablue 
If you’re looking for a multi-chaptered story, this is it! (Though you may have read it already.) It features some of my absolutely favorite married Hinny moments. The third part is much more focused on Next Gen than Harry/Ginny, but definitely worth reading. 
Nostos by @thebiwholived
I don’t even know how to describe this story, but it is so good! It has all the angst and feels and bits of fluff that both kept me going and tore me apart. It had me feeling all the Harry/Ginny feels.
The Brain Has Corridors by pale_and_tragic
Ouch, ouch, such a beautiful piece of how time passes, but Harry and Ginny remain haunted.
There’s This Girl by @keeptheotherone
A lovely, hilarious piece where Harry and James Sirius discuss witches.
And Every Day Is A Start by MagEd
A story where an older Ginny still loves Harry but feels unhappy. Not a typical portrayal of Harry and Ginny, but I loved the realistic sense of a relationship that has grown with time, but is it a problem that things have become...routine? How does one keep the fiery passion in a long-lasting relationship? And is that what one really needs?

Hi! I found your work a few days ago through @read-a-hinny-fic and I’ve already read all your fics!
The way you capture Harry and Ginny’s personalities is absolutely incredible, as well as their interactions with each other. Their constant banter full of sarcasm is beautifully written, and even the more sentimental or serious moments feel true to canon (I often think that those are over the top in some fics, which makes Harry and Ginny seem a bit OOC). Another thing I absolutely love is that there’s never an awkward moment between them, everything is easy and simple (like after their first kiss in the common room, they just keep flirting and messing around) 💙.
Also, your representation of Ginny and Ron’s relationship feels painfully accurate, not being able to resist winding up each other, but still caring a great deal about them (even if they’d never admit it). Other characters’ portrayals are flawless too: Hermione being a good friend (trying to help Harry and Ginny get together without meddling too much, offering some insight during the siblings’ arguments…) yet responsible and bossy like usual; Neville’s shyness opposed to his determination and bravery depending on the moment; the classic and characteristic humour of the twins; etc. I feel like you did a great job with Dean specifically, because there was no bashing implied even though he did make attempts to get back together with Ginny. He was still the good guy we see in canon that for some reason people choose to depict as the devil 🤷🏼‍♀️. The same goes for Cho, although she isn’t mentioned that much. On top of that, I think the Weasleys’ reactions (plus Muriel) were completely right, there wasn’t the typical older brother talk or anything like that, and their POVs were perfect (you could tell whose it was just by the way they talked).
By the way, I adore your references to your other works, it makes the timeline clearer and it’s like it completes them even more. And I’m not a native English speaker but I thought Hagrid and Fleur’s accents were fine.
I know I probably should have just left a comment in ao3, but I wanted to drop by to tell you how amazing your writing is and to thank you for brightening up my time while going through Covid. I’ll definitely be reading those WIPs you mentioned when you post them!! I know it’s a bit of a topic, but if you could write something of Ginny’s 6th year or the summer after the Battle it’d be awesome, I’d love to see your take on those. Anyway, sorry for the essay I just sent you 😹 and sorry if there are any major mistakes on my English too.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so, so much. Seriously, you have no idea how happy this just made me!
Writing Harry and Ginny's banter is my favourite, I'm really glad you enjoy it too! I have so many dramatic ideas that I have to scrap because to make them happen either Harry or Ginny would have to behave OOC (bit off topic, but I realised that's why I love @floreatcastellumposts work so much, just reading her stuff taught me that less is most definitely more sometimes and that is why my Weasley's reaction fic doesn't have anyone reacting in a particularly dramatic way when they find out about Hinny).
It gives me so much relief when people tell me they like my version of Ron and Ginny's relationship. I have no siblings so I sometimes feel slightly out of my depth. Fortunately, my husband has loads so I just study how they all interact with each other haha.
I don't know if this is unpopular or not but I actually have a lot of sympathy for Dean. He and Ginny are together for 6+ months and that's a long time when you're a teenager. I don't doubt that it was difficult for him to watch Harry and Ginny together.
I feel bad for Cho too. The girl needs a therapist , not a boyfriend!
Thank you for the reassurance on Fleur and Hagrid's accents, they are hands down the things I find most difficult to write!
I genuinely cannot help tying everything together. I'm just writing down all my headcanons and hoping that someone else enjoys them!
I have the first five chapters of DH from Ginny's POV written but it's stalled a little bit. I also have a lot of post-battle stuff that I think I'm going to post as a series of one-shots that follow each other chronologically, so you shall get your wish soon!
I'm so glad my fics brightened up your covid nightmare! Seriously, just knowing that I've made someone else happy makes me happy!
Your English is amazing! Please don't ever apologise for any mistakes you make in a second language (not that I noticed any). You know multiple languages! That is so impressive!!
Lastly, I just wanted to say thank you again for taking the time to write this. I go back and read comments like this when I'm having writers block/anxiety and they help me snap out of it, so I really appreciate it 🥰

What is the Hinny one?
For the WIP ask game
The only substantive one in the Hinny folder is the Lockdown AU.
For once in Harry’s life, things seemed to be going his way. He had not one but two best friends, he thought he’d actually settled on a major, and nobody had tried to kill him in at least six months.
In which the college closes and Ron realizes that his roommate Harry Does Not Want to go be in quarantine with the Dursleys, and asks him to come stay with his family.
(Messy, because the bits started as separate ficlets, but I think it’s gonna be one whole fic eventually. But right now every snippet has a free-standing opening.)
Harry still couldn’t get used to life at the Weasleys’.
It had been more than four months, now, since the dorms had closed. Harry’s best friend had seen the look on his face at the prospect of having to go home, and invited him to come stay. The old farm house was small, crammed full of two of Ron’s older brothers and his little sister, and Harry was sleeping on an air bed on the one clear bit of floor in Ron’s attic bedroom, but it didn’t matter, because everyone there was… Harry didn’t know how how to handle a household in which he actively enjoyed everyone’s company. Mrs. Weasley was clearly in her element, enjoying having four of her children back at home, and not at all unhappy with having an extra child to fuss over as well—she kept surreptitiously mending Harry’s clothes as they found their way into the laundry. Mr. Weasley had spent the first week they were there taking enthusiastic advantage of having an excuse to upgrade the house’s wi-fi, and then taken such enthusiastic delight in telecommuting to the comptroller’s office that it was hard to really mind being forced into poorly-planned online classes. Percy was the kind of person who put on a suit and tie for a Zoom law lecture, but he reminded Harry of Hermione in an endearing sort of way, and Charlie was not well pleased at being forced to be at home and not in the field, but he was all right as long as you wanted to hear about dinosaurs. As for Ginny… Ginny was something else.
They had an enormous back field, overgrown in a generally pleasing way that would have given Aunt Petunia a heart attack, with a pond for swimming and a flat space big enough to run around in a way that one could pretend was a game of soccer. They had goats and chickens—Harry had been taught how to milk a goat, and wasn’t entirely sure how he felt about that. They had a vegetable patch, where Mrs. Weasley grew the reddest tomatoes Harry had ever seen—he hadn’t thought he liked tomatoes.
Much of the general feel is Ron and Ginny engaging in a protracted campaign they call “Operation: Make Harry Play Outside,” and also Harry trying desperately not to fall for his best friend’s sister and make things awkward.
(And also Ginny putting Harry in a variety of headlocks and getting him very muddy.)
Including Ginny’s worries about losing her soccer scholarship, because there’s all sorts of uncertainty about sports scholarships going on right now.
This will doubtless evolve some amount of weirdness down the road, because I’m mostly incapable of keeping Muggle AUs normal for very long, but the weirdness hasn’t evolved yet. It definitely involves the reason that Harry’s quite pleased that nobody’s tried to kill him for six months.

Out of everything you’ve written, what lines are you most proud of? Finished or unfinished works 😁
Funny thing: I was actually reading through some of my older, older writings today. Huh. What a coincidence.
Thank you sending in for this absolutely beautiful ask. Seriously, It really made me so happy to write this. I have been agonising and trying to make myself write today but couldn’t, this realllly helped with that.  ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Since you said “Lines” I’m going to choose more than one. ;)  
They aren’t in any particular order, the numbers are to keep track, this isn’t a ranking, definitely not, that’d be so stressful to do, haha. 
Warning: super long and excessive screaming :D 
Fudge. I realised I have been doing this for like 3 hours??? It was like 3 when i started and it’s now. 5 something. Wow. It didn’t feel that long. 
1. This is from a published work, (and we burned, like Icarus), a Grindeldore canon compliant fic where I just explore their relationship. I love and proud of a lot of lines in this one, but there’s one line in particular that stands out.
Line: The curtain fell; Albus stood in victory as the world cheered.
Reason: It’s kind of hard to put into words, but I absolutely love how much layers it has?? Like. There’s so much different ways that this line could be interpreted and I love that. Especially where I put it in the text. It looks like it’s a proud moment for him, he finally defeated the Dark Wizard but...it’s not. Also: “the curtain fell” Gellert surrended, Albus never bested him. I have More Thoughts but I suck at writing meta, so. I will leave this here. 
2. This is a unpublished piece of work, no title, a Sam&Rowena fic. It’s a cute thing that came to me when reading this fic on tumblr where Rowena calls sam, wee!sam which sparked an idea where Rowena sees Sam’s childhood photos and calls him that. 
Line: He blinks, glances up from his book open his lap and she’s—smiling, not mocking, or flirty, or even sly, mischievous but genuine, small and so very soft. It makes Sam’s eyes widen and his heart turn in his chest.
Reason: A SAMROWENA FIC. Mostly that reason. FINALLY GOT SOME WORDS FOR THESE TWO. YAY. Ahhhh. Anyways. Other than that: it’s so cute and soft and i just love it. And also because I was cleaning when I got hit by words and it was unexpected and I absolutely love how it turned out?? 
Also because lol I might be projecting on to Sam about his lil crush on Rowena. 
3. Unpublished. Another samrowena fic! because I’m super proud of these, I have been wanting to write these two for so long and finallly did!! No title, a canon compilant missing scene in 14.07 or .08 based on that line where Sam is like I called Rowena. 
Line: And she wonders what the problem is this time—Castiel? Or perhaps, Dean? Now that would be a delight. 
Reason: It was so fun to write, even cracked a smile and lil laugh. Also I think that i captured Rowena’s personality in here, which makes me super proud. 
4. Published! Bruised, A Jack fic into his thoughts when he escapes the  ma’lak box. (For some reason, I really love writing about this time.) Line: Jack can hear the Devil and knows what being buried alive feels like, knows how small, dark, cold spaces can kill you slowly without you dying at all.
Reason: So proud of this one. Especially the “can kill you slowly without you dying at all” *Incoherrant noises* Fudge. It’s soo good. And such an impactful ending. Just. I freaking love it. Gives me a lil chills everytime I read it. 
5. Published! Do titles count?? Because I’m going to choose one. It’s a Merlin canon compilant (again) fic that kind of looks at Merlin&Morgana’s relationship from Merlin’s view. It was absolutely, totally unexpected. Didn’t know where it came from, but I love it. 
we smiled, not knowing of the storm that would take everything (the storm that was us)
Reason: Okay, so. I was a bit stumped on the title, nothing was coming to mind. Reread it a few times, browsed through my sideblog to find some quotes... couldn’t find the One. So I was like first thing that comes and it was this?? and IT FITS SO PERFECTLY. I was agonising over if I should do the “us” pronoun or change it to a “me”. Still don’t know which is better, I’m leaning towards “Me” now. Anyways, wow. I’m still shocked at it freaking fits this fic so well. Perfectly sums up my fic.  Morgana and Merlin were such good friends and I looove how their relationship took a down fall. I’m weak for the FriendstoEnemies thing and I think that I caught this hear. How no one could have known that Morgana and Merlin would both be responsible for that Tragedy. And by no one, im including myself too.
6. Published! Another title one from another Merlin fic. Haha, seems like my Merlin Fic Titles are Such That Good. It’s that one from the Merlin kills himself, post-canon.
even the stars go cold eventually Reason: Apart from it being absolutely perfect for my fic, haha, it didn’t take much time for me to choose a title for it and because I love writing about stars and this particular one sticks with me. Especially with how it just goes so well with this fic. 
7. Published! A severus-centric fic, Cold feet, where I do a kind of character study on him in that era after the first war. This fic is a super messy but ahh, I love it very much. This one was so hard to choose because i’m proud a LOT of lines in here. I just love writing him. 
Line:  (It's a metaphor. It's a foreshadow. There is no clean break, there's jagged wound where his fist meets his reflection. A mess of blood and glass on the floor, fractions of his reflection as he steps over it. It will never go away.  The scar and the blood stains. It's easy covering it up, cleaning away. No one else knows. All it takes is a swift movement of a wand, a whispered spell. But - you will remember. You won't forget -- can't forget.) Reason: The layers?? I freaking love stuff like that. 
8. Unpublished. Hinny fic. literally the only line I have in this WIP. Thinking it’s in HPB where they started to date? Quidditch practice. Inspired by an art I saw here in Tumblr. 
Line: Harry grins as he catches her eyes from across the field, a burst of warmth  in his chest. Always seeing Ginny made him inexplicably happy. 
Reason: First ever hinny thing that I wrote! Also because I just love writing about Harry being absolutely smitten and in love with Ginny. 
9. Unpublished. A 8.19 deanbenny fic about that part where Dean calls Benny to ask him of a favour. 
Line:    Cut that out now, Benny interrupts You can tell me more when I get to where you are. You don’t sound...so good, brother.
Reason: I can HEAR this in Benny’s voice. Also ahhh, that last part with the eclipses. *Incoherrent noises* Benny’s so concerned about Dean when Dean is the one who’s going to ask Benny to kill himself to go back to Purgatory, a place the he wanted to escape, to get his brother that was hell-bent on killing him. Which seems like a totally Benny thing to do, even if Benny doesn’t know that yet. He’s got some suspicion that *this favour* is not going to be great for him. 
10. Unpublished. That  Heaven Jack & Kelly fic i mentioned when talking about Current WIPs. Aka: me making on that promise of writing fics about them because there’s BARELY any. 
I’m really excited to write this one, i have ideas on what to put in there which are going to be so fun to write. 
This was hard to choose, because I love almost everything I’ve written so far. 
...Damn it. I was supposed to be choosing a line, but apparently I’m writing now. OH. I just fixed a problem I had!! 
Line:  She’s here, not alive, but not dead either like before, cold and laid out on the bed. She’s moving, smiling at him, like—in that video. Except he can reach out and touch her. Feel her warmth, her heartbeat as she envelopes him in a hug. 
Reason: The line I just re-wrote. Okay, i freaking adore it. It really goes for my heart. It’s the first ever time that Jack’s hugged his mom. I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM. Oh gosh. It’s such a special moment. There’s some parts to here that I want to add and change but I do really love how it is now. Jack’s thought process---FUDGE. Damn it. I had a new thought to add: that moment where he sees the shifter change into his Mom. I forgot about it. 
11. Unpublished. Can’t believe I FORGOT about this one. It’s that SPN Deathfic where Dean carrying Sam’s dead body everwhere with him, that one that I was screaming about on here.
Line:  Woah, woah. He barks out laugh as the body slumps heavy over him and he stumbles. Says, Easy big guy and smiles again, quietly. Fond. Threading a hand in the hair. Sam. Sammy. Holds and breathes for a moment.
Reason: *Incoherrant screaming* I love, love how I wrote this?? Like. Wow. I captured Dean so well?? Just. Mindblown that I wrote this. If...I were to rank these, not that I am, this would deff be in the top half. 
The basis of the fic: Sam’s dead, but Dean doesn’t want to let go; he’s in denial. And this moment. It really captures that. AND ahhhh. DEAN. It’s such a Soft moment but so SAD because Dean, HES DEAD. THATS NOT YOUR BROTHER, STOP MAKING ME WANT TO CRY. Fudge. Sorry, I just have a lot of feelings about this one. Still can’t believe I FORGOT about it. ...Damn, I really want to write and edit this one now. 
12. Unpublished. That klelijah fic I was on about where I Have No Idea What This Is About Except HARD DESCISIONS AND SUFFERING. Lol, it’s the title of the Doc.  Funny thing: This was actually inspired by you. Well, the forhead part I mean. In that fic of yours, the s3 era flashback. "Did his brother not remember? Had he forgotten that bloodstained morning in the forest, the touch of Elijah’s forehead against his? Had he forgotten their hands clasped together, warm and covered in grave dirt? Had he forgotten every day since, with Elijah by his side?" - quoting this here because I love it so much. 
Line:  “Brother,” He says, the word said as if it pains him, and it does, bites heavy into his tongue, draws blood. Nothing he can’t heal. Pulling Niklaus down closer to him, pressing their foreheads together in an echo of a memory, a promise, his hand tight on Niklaus’ neck, he begs. “Don’t make me do this. Please.”
Reason: *Incoherrent noises* tHe LaYErS. Ahhh. I really love this so so much. Okay, so. No idea what this fic is about BUT. Brother: Word pains to say: Niklaus is his brother: draws blood: Nothing he can’t heal: Does forhead thing: “In echo”: Shoot, can’t remember the quotes but the forhead signals like no matter what, they’re brothers: And HOW AFTERWARDS ELIJAH BEGS ‘DONT MAKE ME DO THIS’  THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE. IM. ---- HOLD ON. FUDGE. I JUST CRACKED WHAT HE DOESNT WANT HIM TO DO.  FUDGE. FUDGE. IM SCREAMING. OH MY GOD. *GASP* IT GOESS SO WELL WITH WHAT I WRITTEN BEFORE. FUDGGGE. 
Sorry but FUDGE. I need a moment to sit down and proccess this while SCREAMING BECAUSE HOLY HECK I’M. 
I really want this write this now. WOW. 
Okay, that’s all for my fics. Since you said “works” I thought I’d also talk about my poetry and orginal writing, I never did before and I’m using this time to shamelessly gush about my poetry. :D  If anyone wants to check them out, I do have a side blog on here: drop.of.evanescence BUT also I usually post on https://theprose.com/Yuki where’s there’s so more. 
13. Published! Title: Laying in sorrow It was inspired by a pintrest pic. Line: and here we curl inwards with our backs bare
Reason: I LOVE this one. I freaking love how I worded it. I was thinking about anything when I wrote it but OH that TITLE. It came to me and I just realised that. In sorrow, in pain we curl into ourselves, well. Not everyone, but. Some people do, to hide from the pain and IN DOING SO YOUR BARE IS BARE WHICH IS LIKE YOU’RE VUNREABLE. Sorry, if i’m not making sense btw -- my thoughts are like that, haha. 
14. Published! Title: Where It hurts It was for a challenge on Prose where we had to re-write a piece of this other user, Undermeyou. and her WRITING. Wow, it’s so so so good. Btw, I actually won the challenge, which was awesome. :DD Fudge, re-reading this. I forgot how much I loved it. This one...was hard to choose. It has SO MANY good lines that I’m proud of. 
Line: It was Sunday 15th. The window was open and I remember the cold air on your face. I remember your smile. You red-faced, cheeks hollow as you tried to gobble the stars. 
Reason: ahhhhh, the WAY i wrote it. This whole thing is better as a whole, makes it’s impact and is wayy better when you read the whole thing togather so that’s why it was hard to choose. BUT OH this part. Freaking love it. 
15. Published! Title: Alignment of the stars. Inspired by a prompt: world in your pocket. And also another super hard one. Cool fact: that undermeyou person I was talking about earlier? She made a spoken of this on insta! It was amazing.  Line: Fifteen-years later, you can still feel the laughter of his soul rippling across your chest.
Reason: *incoherrent screaming* THAT ENDING. It gave me chills when I wrote and read it. IT WAS SUCH A GOOD WAY TO END IT. LIKE. WOW. I AM SO PROUD.
16. Published! Title: Untilted. Yes, that’s the title, I know. ANOTHER HARD ONE.
Line:  The sunlight is flooding in and it should be beautiful, how it spreads like honey across my red covers. I choke up. It's so beautiful, it’s terrible. I want to throw up. I reach my left hand out and I am somewhere else far away. In that place: another hand reaches back and tangles with mine and there is warmth and buzzes of bell chimes. Here: only silence and coldness meets my trembling hand. 
Reason: Shbjajxsa. THE DESCRIPTION. HOW I WROTE THIS. *INCOHERENT SCREAMING* it’s SO GOOD. Fudge. 
17. Published! Title: touching the world with bound, trembling hands (baby, you’re unravelling)
Well, it’s not. A line. But A small fic that I did, i’m so proud of it. It’s a small, little short story about a person going up and singing publicly despite their fears and made me smile and laugh. It was a surprise for me and i adore it. And yeah, lol I know, the title is cheesy. 
18. Published! Title: i swear, there’s a lesson here (somewhere) I was pretty stumped with my poetry here and tried a different style! inspired by some tumblr post i saw. it came out really well. ANND ANOTHER HARDD ONE. 
Line:  we’re pressed against the books shadows, dark things in the dark and i’m in love with you but i have never seen your face 
Reason: lol, at this rate I’m going to choosing all of my end lines for all of my poetry. THEY’RE JUST SO GOOD. AHH.  "and i’m in love with you / but i have / never seen your / face" CANT BELIEVE I WROTE THIS. FREAKING LOVE IT. I love the tone and just how it SOUNDS. 
19. Published! Title:  Winter’s smile This one i found lurking in my tags over at evanescentrain inspired by this post but....cant seem to find it right now, damn tumblr. 
Line:  how do you capture forever with your hands?
Reason: Lol, another end line. This is going to be a Thing isn’t it? oH I love this one, such an wow question...it gives me feelings that i can’t explain... just. makes me sit here in silence and think. What a way I ended it. Wow. 
20. I have SO MANY poetry and stuff that I’m proud of and want to babble on about, but.... I’m noticing this is getting really long so. I will this one my last. And since I’ve been talking only about Published ones. I will do a unpublished one!
No title.
Line:  It was a long, very long moment that I felt that he would take his sword to my heart and I would die or he would leave without another word, leave with a piece of me to somewhere where I can not get it back. A piece of myself inside  his hands. It was a terrifying thought.
Reason: ahhh, i really freaking love this. especially that LAST LINE. A bit backstory to what this is about: a person telling some guy about the evil they did, it comes out, randomly, because he says “you’re a good person” to them but they get annoyed, angry, say “you don’t know me” and....it’s like something is cracked open and they spill. First time they told someone their thoughts and what they did, wasn’t actually evil or bad. They just thought that. THIS PART. When I was writing it, it left like an impact on me. 
‘a piece of myself inside his hands. it was a terrifying thought’ DAMN. I FELT THAT. It hit me deeply.

Can you share your journey as a writer? How the idea of writing fanfics came into your mind? Do you have other own fiction too? Also how do start a particular fanfic? As in do you make notes, timeline or character sketches and stuff or do you just go ahead and write and then make notes on facts?
What an interesting question -- thank you for asking!  This is literally going to be a novel response (letting you know in advance LOL)
My journey as a writer... I guess I always wrote things down, started as a child when I wrote in a diary and then as I got older I wrote a little poetry, none of it very good (though I wrote a poem when I was twelve to describe the loss I felt when my Nana, my great-grandmother died, and my aunt read it aloud at her funeral).  I wrote a few short stories, just little things, prompts from teachers in school and such and then one day I decided I wanted to write my own story.  But funnily enough, it actually came about through fan fiction.  
I used to love this book series back when I was ten called Trash by Cherie Bennett, and I was completely in love with the characters Chelsey and Nick, and when Jazz claimed that she was pregnant and Nick was the father and it did ended on a cliffhanger and I didn’t have the next book, I remember writing my own version of what happened next -- God, looking back, it was probably terrible, I definitely don’t have it anymore.  Pretty sure the book series isn’t that great looking back at it now, but when I was ten, it was great! LOL.  I also wrote a side story for Demetrius and Karma, so even then I guess I branched off into subplots.  When I was fourteen, I started my own original series, which I am still currently working on and probably will be for the rest of my life if I’m honest -- it’s changed over the years, but the characters and my ultimate goal have stayed the same.
How did writing fanfiction come into mind?  
Well, with Harry Potter, it was because of my friend Chris.  We used to talk on the phone every single night after school for hours on end and after HBP came out and Harry and Ginny were FINALLY together only for him break up with her, I was so livid that I had to wait to find out what happened!  I remember Chris and I debated what would happen in the last book for ages and one day I must have ranted too much because he told me to go write my own story if I didn’t want to wait, so I did.  
I was seventeen and it was Harry Potter and the Prophecy Fulfilled: Which looking back at it now, I think it’s not exactly the greatest story lol and you can definitely see where I’ve improved since then.  After finishing HPPH, I ended up still having different ideas, all Hinny, and went on to write a few one-shots: Almost Too Late and Beautiful Mess.  Then I started writing A Different Beginning, which turned into my Beginning series: A Different Beginning, A New Beginning, Why Don’t We Just Dance?, Life Is Fickle Like That, Graduation Party, and The Reunion.  Those of you who have been reading my fanfiction since the beginning know that I originally posted the above stories on SIYE between 2005 and 2007 and had then completed (except for the second half of Life is Fickle onwards before Deathly Hallows was published).  I didn’t start posting on fanfiction.net until 2008 and only recently on Ao3.  Somewhere in between writing the Beginning Series, I also wrote a few other Hinny one-shots including The Greatest Gift, She Never Lets It Get To Her Heart, I Loved Her First (actually Arthur POV, which I later incorporated into the Beginning Series), The River (which is a standalone but also can be read as part of the Beginning Series), When the Sand Runs Out, and then the mini-series Padfoot’s Advice (Late Night Talks with Padfoot 1 & 2, Padfoot’s Advice, and Secrets from the Past).  Then I wrote the short Hinny/Romione story: The Trouble With Secrets and was inspired to write a Jily series, which I did with Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which could technically be a prequel to the Beginning Series as I kept some of the story similar.  I also wrote a Jily one-shot called Flowers and another Hinny one-shot called I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend.
I didn’t plan on writing any more fanfiction as university became busy, but then in 2017 I started writing these little Missing Moments for Harry and Ginny both before HBP and then during, and then after.  I just sort of compiled them on my computer for a while, wondering if it would turn into a story or not and then the idea came to me one day for A Second Chance after seeing some fan art of a five-year-old-Harry in sunshades and a leather jacket while riding a child’s motorbike next to Sirius in the same outfit and the next thing I knew, this story just pored out of me in February of 2018, I had the first twelve chapters written by March and another five by April.  I started posting the Missing Moments compilation, added a few more things including the Remus and Petunia scene from ASC and kept writing A Second Chance and in May, decided it was time to share it and uploaded the first twelve chapters.  
By the time I realized it was going to be a long one, I knew which characters I would sacrifice and how it would end, but how I was going to get there I still have no idea.  I’m not a writer who methodically plots.  I have a few general bullet points at the end of my current WIP chapter and that’s really it.  I add to it occasionally as I go, but mostly, I just write as I go along.  I can’t tell you how many chapters it will be or how long it will take me to get to the next section because frankly, it’s constantly changes.  I do not write in chronological order, which means I am often writing anywhere between 2-6 chapters at the same time depending on what scene has drawn my attention.  I might write something today that fits in the chapter I am currently working on and then by the time I finish writing other stuff, I realize that it doesn’t really fit there and stick it ahead into the next chapter or ten chapters from now.  I write where my heart takes me and where my creativity flows.  
I rarely ever work on more than one story at the same time, though I did write the short Newtina one-shot for my friend Heather as a Christmas present in 2018.  She requested it and I couldn’t write it, I found it so hard as I like them but it’s not characters I loved enough to write so I did it with a Luna spin-in, which I found helped.  I never take writing requests so this was very different for me, but I think it turned out cute: Say Love, ‘Cause We Got All the Time in the World.  I only recently uploaded it a month or so ago because I found it on my computer LOL.
Do you make notes, timeline or character sketches and stuff or do you just go ahead and write and then make notes on facts?
Once I am into the story, my notes are EXTREMELY detailed.  I do have a time line and separate documents for the following:
Character lists and family trees
General notes on: Political stuff, bills I’ve written, the sacred 28 document I wrote, tattoos mentioned, important dates, moon cycle dates of Remus’ life, classes I’ve invented (what they are about, who teaches them etc), textbook list per school year, notes on each Animagus form and information about their animals, actual time tables I wrote up Monday to Friday for Harry’s third/fourth, and fifth year, details of Zee and Tonks’ engagement rings, history and outline of Dante’s circles of hell with notes on how to incorporate into story, notes on pregnancy, character’s wands, geographic locations of characters, and any other little notes I think are important but don’t belong in the bullet points at the end of my current WIP chapter
History and ancestry of each family (from Harry Potter Lexicon, Pottermore, Harry Potter wiki, and my own personal creations).  This also includes manor information for Potter, Black, Longbottom, Nott, and Malfoy.
Hogwarts lay-out including stuff I’ve added or made up
Ministry of Magic departments and people (known and created)
List of spells (including ones I’ve made up and which chapter and which character introduced it to who)
List and pictures of Sirius’ motorbikes with information on each one
List of Pensieve memories and marauder moments (crossed out which ones I’ve shared already, some are written and waiting to be used and others just a general idea)
Terms and phrases from different languages I’ve used in the past
My playlist of songs I have mentioned in the story
An entire document dedicated to Operation FUVP including a Voldemort timeline which I have now shared in the story itself (also includes when and where each character found the Horcruxes)
A list of some of the recipes I mentioned, and 
I have a 72 page document that is literally just detailed chapter summaries to help me remember what the hell I’ve written LOL (also highlights introductions to new characters in a different font colour to help me find out when people were introduced).
Hope this answers your question -- thank you again for asking!

Fandoms you write for: Law & Order: SVU (Barson, Rollisi and Calhola ships, as well as adult Noah & Jesse) and Harry Potter (Dramione and Hansy ships)
Where you post: AO3
Most popular one shot: Hahahahaha it looks like it’s Hermione’s Piano Man. That amuses me because it’s one of my older pieces and it’s smut and not exactly my most creative effort because I wrote a similar bit in my other fandom and the whole smut scene is stolen from “Pretty Woman”.
Most popular multi chapter story: More Than Once In A Lifetime, which is still a WIP. This also amuses me because that story only exists because @trinkisme, who tagged me to do this, asked for some Harry and Pansy with a side of Dramione. I had never considered pairing H&P but it just worked and it’s probably my own favorite story that I’ve already worked on turning the plot into a non, fan fiction novel.
Favorite story you wrote: Oh, that’s hard, because I love them all. In the HP fandom it’s definitely More Than Once In A Lifetime. In SVU, it’s probably a three way tie between Letters from Noah, Overheated and Threats. Oh, also, I cried, nearly sobbed, writing Morning with Charlie, which is in my Barson Bits compilation, and a chapter in Carving Out A Future. If I can make myself cry or laugh out loud, then I feel like it’s pretty good.
Story you were nervous to post: Definitely First Time for Everything, because it’s just smut, smut, smut and also because it’s smut outside of my comfort zone. But it’s in my top 5 in SVU so it must be okay!
How do you choose your titles: Titles are torture for me. Either they come to me and they’re brilliant or I get to where I just need one and force it out and it’s trash. Some of them come from a line or a scene. Others from a prompt that got the whole thing going.
Do you outline: only in my head. I have two notebooks (one for each fandom) that I will scribble notes I want to remember, or a line, or a fact or head canon, but I don’t outline the stories or chapters themselves on paper.
Complete: (including all the small one shots) 54 in SVU and 6 in Harry Potter.
In-Progress: 2 in HP and 6 in SVU. I don’t have as many in HP because MTOIAL is such a beast and Come to California really challenges me.
Coming soon/not yet started: I have an SVU one called Hearts in Armor, that I’m trying to decide if I want to divide into chapters so I can get some of it posted or hang onto it until it’s finished. Anyone want to vote? And another for a prompt in a twitter group that I started over the summer that doesn’t have a title. I kind of know where it’s going, but it’s been neglected. I have two Harry Potter ones that I started a long time ago. One is a Hinny that I wrote before I started MTOIAL. It’s just a little one shot that I keep going back and tweaking. It’s set around Halloween so I might try and finally post it next month. The other is a Neville-centric one that I don’t even know where it came from. I haven’t opened it in more than a year, but it has him going to Muggle university and meeting a Muggle girl.
Do you accept prompts: YES! Please! I love to get prompts! I don’t get them very often, but some of the ones I’ve gotten have turned into the best stories! MTOIAL is a perfect example, but also I wrote a one shot that makes me giggle every time from the line “You look pretty hot in plaid”
Upcoming story you are most excited to write: I have a Christmas themed, AU Barson story that I started more than a year ago and I really really really want to finish it because I think it will be fabulous! But I literally would have to work on nothing else, because it’s going to be lengthy and time consuming to write.
Tagging @theoofoof and anyone else who wants to play.
But also I’d love to hear from my readers and know what YOU like best and what YOU would like to see updated next. The ask box is open! 😘
