after too long in exile
I hear Yiddish
and feel immediately
at home.
I hear Yiddish
and the rhythms sound
like family.
I hear Yiddish
and my heart yearns
for more.
I hear Yiddish
feel Yiddish
want Yiddish
am Yiddish
I hear Yiddish
and I do not understand
a word.

Befriending A Ravenclaw (55.127 words) by kreestar (@kreestars)
@hprecfest day 8 prompt: a canon-divergent fic
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, minor James Potter/Lily Evans Potter, minor Sirius Black/Original Character(s), minor Remus Lupin/Original Character(s)
Summary:
Sirius has made a point to never learn the names of anyone in other Houses. There was no need to, in his astute opinion. Everyone who was not in Gryffindor must lack some intrinsic qualities which would therefore make them utterly intolerable as companions. And the Marauders - all three of them - did not need any intolerable fourths, thank you very much.
Remus is a Ravenclaw Prefect and Sirius is finding it harder and harder to admit he isn't obsessed with him
Comment:
I love it when a fic asks "what if...?" and this fic was an incredible marauders era AU featuring Remus as a ravenclaw, Lily as a Hufflepuff, lots of oblivious mutual pining from the puppies and a delicious slow(ish) burn, can highly recommend it!!

Pathofest Day 11 - A Feast in Time of Plague
"You know this isn't really necessary" Artemy sat on the edge of the bed at the Stillwater's loft. He held his half of the loaf of slightly stale bread in his hands as though it was worth its weight in gold, it probably was. "I mean, thank you for the bandage, but I'll survive, I've managed it up to this point." Yes, somehow he had, though Daniil would have much preferred if the only other academically trained healer in town stopped trying to seemingly seek out death.
"Nonsense, I won't have you die out there Burakh." Daniil settled on a chair in front of him, the other half of the bread in his own hands. Artemy frowned, an expression he made all too often. What did he look like when he was not actively fighting for his life? Did he still frown as much? Daniil would have hopefully not had to stay in the town long enough to find out. "Besides, I have managed to gather enough resources for myself for at least a day or two, eat, it's good you're alive."
"Is this another thing with you wanting to defeat death?" Artemy scoffed, but still tore a bit of that bread away, and Daniil, hungry and lonely as he was, watched. Only remembering his own half before he was caught for that staring. At times like those he was so incredibly lucky he could not blush. "Thank you, I don't know why you're doing this, but thank you, even if we are to become enemies, I'm glad it hasn't happened yet." There was a quirk to his lip, and something in his tone that meant that he meant it. It must have so stupid of Daniil, to learn how to understand such an obtuse man when he could not understand anyone else in that cursed town. "Still, you could have just given me medicine, or money, why eat with me?"
Daniil dryly swallowed the bread, gulping it down with a bottle of water, he was so tired, "You're alive, that calls for celebration, life deserves to be celebrated." He shrugged, trying to find the right words to continue, "They tried to kill us, they failed, lets eat." He remembered it, half a joke, half a saying, it fit perfectly, even if Artemy was the only one of the two of them to have gotten himself stabbed on that particular night. Daniil himself wasn't free of danger.
"I'll get you back for this." Artemy promised, and got up. Daniil would have openly offered him his bed were he not dead tired himself, had the words not stopped in the back fo his throat, it would be nice, Artemy was warm, and the September nights were only getting colder. But he just could not speak for the life of him, instead he just waited for the Haruspex to leave, before settling on the bed himself, he would survive the next day to come.

when i was 11 and stupid i used to ship dipper and pacifica because i was still full of apologism for blonde people but i actually think it’s way way funnier if northwest manor mystery is interpreted simply as “local angry jewish kid realizes that waspy mean girl is like. a person and not a biblical trial put on earth for them to prove their valor.”
