I absolutely adore short stories, and I thought I'd use the spotlight saturday concept to spread love for them as much as I can. I will try my best to make this a monthly thing,, sometimes more or less frequent. I hope you find some bite-sized bits of escapism to enjoy through these reclists. Today's features stories to curl up cosily with for a good laugh, some hurt/comfort, or softness—take your pick! And as always, please check the tags and author notes. Have a lovely weekend~
At The Top by @moonstruckwytch (Draco/Harry) (G) 
written for hdcandyheartsfest 2022 day two: first date
Sinking/Floating by @andithiel (Draco/Harry) (T, 966)
After the war, Harry once again dwells so much on dreams of the past and those he lost, that he forgets to live. Draco helps to remind him.
For All You Give (I’ll Give it Back to You) by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (Harry/Ron/Hermione) (T, 7144)
A birthday, a beach cottage, a love confession (or two). All Harry can wonder is why it took him so long to figure this out.
Flushed with love and romance by toutcequonvuet (Draco/Harry) (M, 3011)
Harry has been eagerly anticipating the perfect proposal Draco is surely crafting. Nothing can put a plug on his excitement. When he finally gets it, he’s in for a surprise of the accidental (and hilarious) variety./Featuring: wordplay, bath bombs, and theoretically attractive plumbers
From Sunset to Star Rise by @schmem14 (Harry/Ron) (M, 7618)
Ron stops in his tracks, trembling from head to toe as he points his nose to the clear blue sky, feeling the autumn chill bite his fevered skin./He’s in love with Harry, and he only just realizes it./I have to conquer this is his first thought./I have to tell him is his second./But I’m afraid… lingers longest of all./Ron and Harry move to New England to get away from the aftermath of war, buy a cozy cabin in the woods, and fall in love under the stars of an autumn sky.
Dancing with our eyes closed by Patriceavril (Ginny/Luna) (T, 2517)
Ginny ditches the wedding and her stupid heels, expecting to drink her bottle of stolen champagne alone. When Luna appears, Ginny decides maybe she doesn't want to be alone after all.
Destination: Healing by @stargazing-enby (Draco/Harry) (T, 2027)
As much as he refused to think about it, the truth was something in Harry’s chest unravelled in those dawn-hued moments of quiet when his body was heavy against the bathroom door frame, the Cloak heavy on his shoulders, and his gaze heavier than any of the two on the rise and fall of Malfoy’s breathing.
bloom for me by dynazty (Pansy/Luna) (T, 824)
It was a flower garden. That’s what Luna told her.
Strict Essentials by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (Draco/Harry) (M, 3884)
Harry and Draco go shopping for a new kettle.
The List by @onbeinganangel (Remus/Sirius) (M, 1400)
A story where the to-do list is too long, the weather is terrible and Sirius is seriously trying his best not to have to leave the house.
Marshmallow Kisses by @samunderthelights (James Sirius/Teddy) (G, 889)
James has been working on a surprise for Teddy, but it doesn't go as planned.
Bind by @gallifrey1sburning (Gin/Luna) (T, 2088)
Gin's binder is beginning to affect their career. Pansy's still struggling to figure out how to support her partner through their dysphoria, but she's learning.
The Music of the Stars by @gallifrey1sburning (Draco/Harry) (G, 556)
“It’s almost like music, isn’t it?” Draco looked down to catch Harry’s eye, seemingly unperturbed to find him staring, and Harry wondered if he’d known all along./“What is?”/“All of this. The sea, the wind, the stars.”/Harry laughed. “The stars don’t make noise, you weirdo.”/“They do,” Draco argued. “You just have to know how to listen.”
Beneath the Wisteria by @thealmostrhetoricalquestion (Draco & Scorpius, Albus Severus/Scorpius) (G, 2589)
Scorpius likes the wisteria best of all. He likes the pretty colours and the way the petals fall like rain, and he likes when Draco lifts him up to push his small fingers through the heaps of flowers. It’s Draco’s favourite too, so he sits with Scorpius by the pond often, under the full, soft petals, and watches Scorpius scoop at the water with a conjured green fishing net. He uses his magic to make the petals fall close to Scorpius, and they kiss the water and unfurl inches from him, until they’re scooped up by the net and placed in a pile on the grass./Scorpius laughs each time he catches one, patting his chubby legs with glee./It makes Draco feel warm.
The Darling Curse by @orange-peony (Draco/Harry) (E, 9209)
It was just a slip./Harry didn't mean to call Draco 'love' in front of the other Aurors, especially because they have no idea they're a couple./Well, Harry could always pretend to be cursed and use pet names with everyone./What's the worst that can happen?

Sirius Rising [Jeddy, Wolfstar, M, 4.6k]
I always wondered what happened when Sirius fell, those Ancient Egyptians watching his star fall from the sky, watching that brightness plummet to his demise, falling farther and farther from our world into another. Sirius falling… falling… falling… How could they bear it? How can I?
The same story set decades apart, separated by a curtain of love and loss. Maybe this time around our ending will be different.
A/N: The idea for this story came to me in the dead of night, and I legit had to get out of bed and scribble down an outline before I could fall asleep again. It was so much fun playing with the parallels between Lightning Era characters and Next Gen characters: names, relationships, events. So, thank you @hp-nextgen-fest for allowing me to finally bring this story to the page. Also, thank you @broomsticks for the beta! I loved all your exclamatory comments.

James considers himself an addict of sorts.
His drug of choice?
A slice of Teddy’s happiness.
It’s pure, it’s simple, yet so vibrant and so utterly infectious that James thrives on it, lives for it, devours it.
It really doesn’t take much to make Teddy happy. The simplest of things will make him smile, will make his eyes glimmer with such excitement that James doesn’t care they’re in the middle of frozen section in Asda.
He closes the distance between them, cups Teddy’s cheeks and kisses him with wild abandon.

if i dont become his girl by the end of the year im packing my bags and leaving to another planet where he will be my man.
because why dose he have to be so adorable and cute? hes like a big cuddly lion teddy bear that i wanna cuddle all the time. 80s james will always and forever be my favourite. he has my heart <3
Early 80s James is literally asking for cuddles. And the lion teddy thing... god, that is so true
You and him are sitting on a couch, watching some movie on TV while the rest of the band went to sleep already.
You're fighting your eyelids and your head lulls a little to the side a when you let your eyes close just a bit too long.
James, that's pretty much equally tired, notices you falling asleep while sitting next to him.
"Hey..." He murmurs and pokes your arm.
You shake your head and look at him while rubbing your tired eye.
James puts his hands on your waist, "c'mere..." he softly groans as he pulls you close to him and wraps his arms around you, hugging you close to him.
You put your head on his shoulder and slowly wrap your arms around him the best you can.
He leans his head against yours and gently rubs your back.
"You comfy?" James asks you in a sleepy tone.
"mhm.." you hum out and nuzzle your cheek on his shoulder as if trying to get closer to him.
You relax in his warm embrace and slowly fall asleep in his arms. He places a little kiss on your head and shortly after falls asleep too.
i hope this is okay, i'm so rusty if it comes to writing,,
Is 80s james too much to ask for 🙁

Sometimes I forget that these kids would literally be famous. Like tabloid stories written about them every week and being stalked by the paparazzi famous.
I now imagine them all gathering round the lake every week to read about the new and exciting things they’re up to.
Rose: “Oh wow Dom you have been seen getting steamy with 4 whole boys this week”
Dom: “Oh my god I’m such a little slut please don’t tell my girlfriend!”
James: “Well Vic has threatened the life of several students who called her a bitch”
Vic: “It was one student and they didn’t just call me a bitch. Anyway you have been caught getting drunk in Hogsmede again”
James: “oh my god I was barely tipsy!!”
Roxanne: “this one’s hilarious, Albus Potter has been seen sneaking into broom closets with a certain blonde slytherin on numerous occasions”
Hugo: “HAHA that’s ridiculous”
Fred: “Albus and Scorpius imagine oh my god”
Molly: “they’re obsessed with a potter and a malfoy dating they just won’t accept it’ll never happen”
Albus: “haha yeah that’s insane literally crazy who would ever even think that…”
Everyone: “wait…”

i need to write a fic where albus and scorpius start dating but albus hasn’t told his family yet and they end up spending some of summer together and james proposes a scheme to do together because he feels guilty about not being a better brother to albus.
and james, being slightly oblivious, thinks albus sees scorpius as a brother and out of guilt and his desire to prove that he really does care about his little brother he keeps pushing to spend more time with him but it just comes across like he doesn’t like scorpius.
and albus, thinking that james hates scorpius, is super nervous to tell his family about them dating because he thinks james will be mad.
rose and lily know exactly what’s going on on both sides but neither with intervene because; rose doesn’t think it’s right to meddle in their relationships and thinks they should sort it out and; lily sees this as an opportunity to cause chaos.
hugo’s vaguely aware of what’s going on but is mostly interested in helping lily cause problems.
teddy is the only one who knows about albus and scorpius dating and james’ fears from the people themselves and is the person they defer to for advice. unfortunately for them, teddy has decided to play the role of “older sibling that encourages your worse impulses”
harry: the children are getting along really well actually :)
teddy, staring out the window at the children recreating lord of the flies in real time: yeah they’re getting along so well :)

Next Steps? (1/1) (jegulus | raising Harry)
"Haz! Let's go we're going to be late!" James called from the door. Regulus was quickly packing some snacks for the car as James grabbed the "entertainment" bag.
"Does he really need all this?" James said to Regulus who met him in the doorway.
"Yes James he does. He's 5 years old and I'm not going to listen to him cry for 3 hours about being bored and the last time we did screens in the car he threw up."
James nodded, and kissed Regulus' cheek. "The right words are this is such a great idea and you are a wonderful parent who thinks of everything," James said trying too hard to save face.
"A bit rehearsed but the sentiment is right," Regulus teased with a smile.
"Harry let's go, or we will leave without you!" Regulus called up the stairs as he walked out the door with several of the bags.
Tiny steps were heard running down the stairs. "Nooo, Papa I want to see Teddy!"
"Alright then in the car please," James said as he followed Harry out of the house.
After they all settled in the car, Harry in his seat and James driving. Nearly as soon as they got on the highway, Regulus dozed off as usual. About an hour in, Harry whispered quietly to James after poking Regulus' head from behind.
"Dad, do you think uncle pads and uncle Moony are going to be happy to see us?"
"Of course they will be sweetheart, why do you ask?"
"Well last time uncle pads cried when he saw us" Harry said.
"Oh I see. I think uncle pads was sad because he missed us." James said.
"I wish we didn't live so far away so we could see them everyday and uncle pads wouldn't be sad anymore," Harry whispered.
"Me too son, me too. It's okay to be sad sometimes, Yeah?" James said.
"Yeah... I'm going to give him the biggest hug and and uncle Moony too!" Harry decided.
When they got there, Harry nearly jumped out of the car and ran right up the porch to where Sirius and Remus were waiting with Teddy.
Regulus held James back for a moment. "Do you need a hand?" James asked.
"Do you want to move back here?" Regulus asked quietly.
James cocked his head, then thought about it for a moment. "Sometimes yes, but Regulus I love our life." James explained.
"Well what if I wanted to move here too?" Regulus suggested.
"You never cease to surprise me love," James said as he kissed his forehead. "Let's talk about it some more later, okay?"
"I'd really like that," Regulus replied before heading up the path to his brother's home.

Nothings wrong - James Wilson
requested: yes
word count: 578
warnings: tbh nothing
a/n: sorry im in love with this guy currently and am spamming you with him... except im not and i will do it again
Masterlist
Tumblr media
Will you please tell me what happened?
Tumblr media
Being with James Wilson was like being with the personified version of a cloud. His hugs were comforting, his aura was soothing. And seeing him was like seeing everything you had ever wanted in life.
And coming home to him after the few years you’d been together had always felt like being greeted with a warm and fuzzy sweater. One handmade and filled with the love you deserve to have.
It was even more needed on days like today. Where everything just felt wrong. Nothing even caused it. Just the mood you woke up in that was somehow made worse the longer your shift at work went on. Dealing with people just drained you.
Traffic made you want to scream and you felt like every molecule in your body was vibrating at such a high frequency that you were going to just combust. So coming home to James was exactly what you needed.
Except seeing him with the biggest grin, and insanely cheery voice made you shove back those feelings instantly. Letting him go on about his job later in the evening. “You really should have seen it, we thought she wasn’t going to make it to Christmas but now we’re talking a few more years.”
He was happily talking, his hands flailing around as he did. “Isn’t that-” His eyes finally caught the look you had been trying to hide from him. The way you were completely zoned out and just staring ahead.
“What’s wrong?”
You shook your head, reeling yourself back in, “What? Nothing, nothing. That’s really amazing, baby.” You tried to sweep it under the rug, tried to put every displaced piece of yourself together just for the sake of conversation.
Which would have worked if he was someone you met an hour ago. But no, he was the man you’d been with for three and a half years that knew your favorite songs, favorite films, everything there was to know inside and out.
So he knew when you were lying, no matter how well you did it, he figured it out in seconds. “No, there’s something. What’s wrong? What happened?” He had stopped the pacing he was doing, instead sitting next to you.
“Jamie..” You didn’t want to talk about it. How do you explain that there wasn’t anything? That you just metaphorically woke up on the wrong side of the bed? SOmething you weren’t even sure there was a science to.
Probably not.
He grabbed your hands in his, looking at you with the biggest brown puppy dog eyes he’d ever done, which, was saying something. He knew it was your weakness, that when he showed that level of care that you’d cave.
“Please, tell me what happened.”
The comforting level of his voice pushed the floodgates open. “Nothing, nothing happened I’m just… I don’t know.” It was the worst feeling. Something was wrong. You were aware of that.
But the what, the why. The reasoning being unknown was the worst of it. “I don’t know what’s wrong.” Your voice cracking as he shifted to pull you into his chest. His back leaning back to the couch, your body coming to lay against his as tears sprung and slipped out of your eyes.
“It’s okay, bad days happen.”
“Today was horrible..” He stroked your hair, knowing it gave you some form of comfort regardless of how you really felt. He knew you better than anyone and you truly had never been so thankful.

I've been thinking about how much I adore Tonks and Remus' dynamic but physically cannot ship them because my brain is being weird about their fucking age gap. this is so frustrating. they would have been so lovely for me if Tonks was like at least 27 in 5th book. Ronks (yeah I'm not calling it Remadora, Tonks hates her birth name ffs) would have been my ride-or-die alongside Jily and Wolfstar for sure.
because literally nothing else that Ronks antis consider deal breakers for them matters to me - not the fumbled way they get together in canon, not them getting married so quickly, not Tonks getting pregnant, not the assumed queer-coding of both characters (which I personally see, don't get me wrong. but it's assumed and who the fuck says they can't be queer4queer anyway?). sure, the nuclear family narrative being pushed so quickly and thoroughly onto them is peculiar but who says they didn't want to make the most of their time during a war? I love wartime drama and they would have been my shit if it weren't for... well. Tonks being 22 and Remus 35 when they meet.
I just can't ship big age gaps unless the youngest character is closer to 30 than 20. which is infuriating, because Ronks is objectively more fascinating because of their gap. my fucking loss, don't you think?
anyway, after thinking of ways I can make Tonks older without hurting the story, I began wondering whether her age is narratively important, and yes, turns out it very much is - for Harry.
Tonks being 22 in order of phoenix makes her the closest of Order members to Harry's age (Weasley twins don't count because they're Ron's brothers first, order members second for Harry) and the one Order member Harry can relate to the most in his youth and desire to fight. She almost perfectly parallels marauders and Lily in first war and represents the fun of the fight, the fire of youth, the confidence of a new recruit, the safety of relatability for Harry. She's one of the biggest inspirations for his newfound dream of becoming an auror. Harry needs Tonks among those older, battle-worn, cautious, secretive adults who don't take him seriously and never look him in the eye, because he wants to be what she is even before realising it and only reflects on it after spending time with her.
all in all, Tonks being 22 matters quite a lot for Harry's story.
now, we have no way of knowing whether Joanne came up with Ronks storyline prior to Tonks' introduction, but it shouldn't matter for their relationship, not in Joanne's opinion - Tonks' youth already fulfilled its narrative role in order of phoenix and stopped being an important asset of her character in half-blood prince.
oh, but unfortunately it still matters in the grand scheme of things, Joanne. you don't just introduce a young adult character (I'm 21 myself and gods, 22/23 is barely more mature), chuck their established age out the window and pair them up with a character in their mid-to-late thirties. and of fucking course it makes sense for a 23 year old to be down bad for some scruffy 36 year old man, it's incredibly realistic! this 36 year old man acting upon such crush is a little questionable, but still realistic (and we know Remus is very flawed, so I'm not surprised). but you know what isn't realistic at all?
Molly - a 46 year old woman, married to her high school sweetheart, mother to 7 children, 3 of which are close to Tonks' age - being extremely supportive of actually engaging in that sort of relationship, going as far as reprimanding Remus for not committing to it. I'm sorry, what? Molly might have some flaws as a mother, but she is nothing if not protective of her kids and those in their age range. She genuinely becomes somewhat of a mother figure for Tonks during their time in the Order, and I just cannot for the life of me understand how Molly could encourage her to pursue Remus and vice-versa, instead of consoling Tonks in her tragic crush and making sure Remus doesn't even look at her like that.
Minerva - an even older woman who taught both Remus and Tonks at Hogwarts, witnessed Remus becoming an adult from his graduation in 1978 up until 1981, then saw an 11 year old Tonks start Hogwarts 3 years later in 1984 - chiding Remus for not being "brave" enough to commit to such relationship. first of all, why the fuck is she involved in that narrative at all? it's none of her business??? she's not in any pseudo parenting role for either of them, unlike Molly, so I never understood why she even has a place to voice her opinion about their romance. second of all, even if it was her business, Minerva - a professor who witnessed both Remus and Tonks grow up so many years apart - would realistically feel pretty weird about such relationship.
those aren't problems with the ship itself, but rather the way Joanne implemented their romance in the story. I think it would be more realistic if Ronks was some kind of fucked up forbidden romance from other characters' perspectives. the way everybody is so instantly supportive of them is quite jarring to me.
interestingly, when I read hp for the first time at 11 I was quite adamant in my belief that Tonks was in love with Molly up until that scene in half-blood prince. a very weird belief for a kid, I know. I just only liked girls at the time and was relating to Tonks quite a bit since her introduction, so I guess I unconsciously decided she was a lesbian even without knowing that term yet. I also had a crush on my teacher in 4th grade and she was quite similar to Molly... yeah, this girl was projecting too much. I didn't pick up on Remus' queer-coding until I fell down the rabbit hole of lgbt discourse at 14, but was pretty shocked to read about Tonks falling for a man at 11. she was so like me until she wasn't :) it's pretty funny to think about now.
in conclusion, I'm hella jealous of those of you who don't have weird brains and can enjoy Ronks to their fullest potential. their canon writing has its issues but they're more interesting for it, truly. I'll stay in my no fun corner, headcanoning them as lavender married, queer-platonic, bisexual besties co-parenting Teddy Alastor Tonks.

Oh this this is good! It’s showcasing how much Gregory cares about Janine and how maintaining what they have is important. Growing that relationship is essential for them and Gregory is less jealous and more concerned for her but wants to see her thrive because he loves her!!! This is why the friendship build is so important and this was a great interview thank you Tyler
