Congrats on finishing!
Prompt - Zutara & a flower made of glass
Thank you! I'm very proud of myself and loved the feeling of vulnerability and relief and achievement when it was finally done so I'm probably addicted and will hopefully, finally, be able to chase down that feeling on the rest of my WIPs 😅🥰
"Uhhh, what is that you're holding?" Katara frowned at the object Zuko was gingerly clutching.
"A flower," he answered shortly, avoiding eye contact.
"A..." Katara frowned, stepping closer to try and examine what he held. "Are you sure? It... looks..."
"It's made of glass."
"Oh!" Katara's eyebrows shot up. "Can I see it?"
"No."
She huffed a laugh at the shortness of his answer.
"No?"
"It's a gift for someone," he side-eyed her. "Why are you here, anyway?"
"I'm waiting for someone."
"Here?" Zuko frowned.
"Yes, I have a date," Katara smiled, blushing prettily. "A blind date, actually. One of Suki's Kyoshi Warrior friends set us up. Actually, can you go somewhere else with your glass flower? The guy I'm waiting on is late, but maybe he's here and doesn't know I'm who he's meeting because you're here."
"Oh, for...." Zuko cursed, his head dropping back while he breathed out a small puff of steam.
Katara flinched when he extended his arm in her direction, offering her the glass flower.
"You just said this was a gift," she scoffed, though she took it anyway to examine the fine blown glass petals, admiring the rich colours infused within.
"It's a gift for the girl I'm meeting. For a blind date. Setup by Ty Lee," Zuko scowled, his eyes back on her, waiting for her to get it.
"You... you're who I'm...? Oh, for crying out loud," Katara started to laugh. "They set us up?"
"Evidently."
"I bet they're nearby, giggling about it too," Katara complained. "We both need better friends."
Zuko didn't say anything, only scowled deeper.
"Well... shall we?" Katara waved an indicative hand to the cafe across the street where the date was supposed to take place.
"They're already inside," Zuko shook his head. "I just saw a flash of one of them. They'll be watching."
"So? Do you not want to have tea with me?" Katara smirked since they’d never even considered dating in all the times they’d known each other.
"You want to go on a date with me?" Zuko frowned, his voice full of sneer.
"Well.... I mean, I'm already dressed," she waved to the nice dress she wore.
Zuko's eyes dropped down, trailing over her slowly.
"You look nice," he conceded quietly, his cheeks turning a bit pink.
"So do you," Katara smiled. "We could... what if instead of tea, we had dinner? I know a place a few blocks away where our friends won't be spying and laughing, if you still want to see the date through."
"Aren't you supposed to go on dates to get to know people?" Zuko frowned. "It's why I hate them. Getting to know someone over tea in a noisy shop is stupid."
Katara started to laugh at his disgruntled expression, reaching to ruffle his combed hair out of its attempted style because it looked ridiculous.
"Good thing you already know me then, isn't it?" She teased, giving a little tug to the front of his shirt as she started to turn, planning to lead his to the restaurant. "Come on. Let's get dinner, and you can tell me why you brought a glass flower instead of a real one."
Zuko pouted, but after a few seconds, he followed her, easily falling into step beside her, the two of them walking close enough that their shoulders occasionally bumped.
"Real one always wilt," he confessed quietly when they were seated at the restaurant. "I get nervous and my hands heat up and then live flowers wilt and go soggy. But uncle says you have to bring flowers on dates.... it's stupid."
He reached, trying to take the pretty glass flower back but Katara moved it out of reach, instead sliding her free hand into his and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"It's not stupid," she said softly when Zuko's eyes dropped to their entwined hands. "It's a clever solution. And besides, real flowers only last a few days... a week if you're lucky. This one will last forever."
She smiled, admiring it happily as her cheeks turned pink.
"I think it's nicer to give something with permanence," she murmured. "The point of dating is to find love, after all, and I would think it should be a goal in the search for love to find one that will be permanent."
When she looked up, Zuko was staring at her intently, his cheeks a soft pink and his eyes guarded as though he was waiting for the punchline. Katara only smiled and set the flower gently on her lap before reaching for the menu without releasing Zuko's hand.
"Should we get some tea?" She checked. "Oh, they have so many options! Iroh would spend days here sampling them all. Look!"
Katara slid her chair quickly around the table, slotting herself in close beside Zuko rather than remaining across from him, pointing at the tea list on the menu excitedly. Distracted as she was, she didn't see the guarded gleam in Zuko's gaze melt away into something soft and impossibly fond before he leaned in closer, silently believing dates were definitely nicer if you already knew you loved the person you were meeting.

Welcome to the fourth instalment of our Behind the Quills - Spicy edition. Today we hear from the inestimable Kittenshift17. I contacted our participating authors and asked if they would be willing to participate in a series of interviews or essays regarding writing scenes of intimacy, those who were willing were asked for any tips, thoughts on their process and why they chose it, and any other insight into writing sex scenes they cared to offer.
From Kittenshift17:
Get to Know Your Characters:
·        Figure out what your characters are into inside and outside the bedroom.
·        What turns them on?
·        What turns them off?
·        Do they have any secret kinks? And if yes, are they comfortable enough with their partner to admit to them?
·        Do they like dirty talk? Or does it turn them off? Are there any words or descriptors for genitalia or coitus that are like a bucket of ice-water on the mood for that character?
·        Do they have any body image issues? If yes, what are they and how do those issues impact the encounter – do they need to do it with the lights off, or with socks on, or shirts still on? Are they embarrassed about their tummy or their bum or a scar/birthmark and what do they do (if anything) to try and hide those things from their partner’s gaze?
·        Do they have any hard limits or triggers? What are they, and what happens if their partner unknowingly blunders into one? i.e., they use a word that triggers memories of past abuse, or they have a hard limit on a particular activity and want to run if it’s initiated?
·        Do they like being kissed? If yes, where?
·        Do they like to cuddle after sex, or do they find it sweaty and gross and all too much sensation?
Explore the Motivation for the Hook-Up:
·        Are the characters having a cheap one-night stand? If yes, is alcohol/drugs/a substance a factor in the encounter and how will it affect the aftermath? Will they remember the hook-up and regret it?
·        Is it an expression of deep and passionate love culminating in sex after a wealth of unresolved sexual tension?
·        Are they hooking up with an ulterior motive? i.e., is the hook-up an attempt to hide an identity, commit a crime, win a bet, or save a life?
·        What does each character want out of the relationship and what conflict can you wring from the encounter as a result? i.e., is one of them in it for a fast thrill or a quick release and the other thinks it’s love? Is it goodbye sex? Are they ever going to do this again after this time?
Incorporate the Surroundings and the Little Things:
·        Being physically intimate with someone – sexually or platonically - usually incurs a sense of hyperawareness that we don’t typically experience as we go about our days, so be sure to include the little details about the encounter.
·        What does the person smell like to the other?
·        Are their hands cold or warm?
·        How does touch affect your character? i.e., do they get butterflies from holding hands? Do they quiver excitedly throughout the first kiss? What body parts (their own or their partner’s) does your character fixate on (hands, lips, eyes, genitalia)?
·        Where is the encounter taking place? If they’re indoors, are they in a bedroom, on a rug by the fire, in the bathroom, etc. and how do those locales impact the sex – is rug-burn or slipping over in the tub a risk? If they’re outside, what factors do they need to worry about, such as being spotted, the weather, various objects that might make the encounter less pleasurable such as pinecones on the forest floor, a bug bite on the bum, or a rock digging into someone’s back.
Draw on Your Own Knowledge & Experiences:
·        Do everything you can to incorporate what you know about being intimate or having sex with someone. i.e., if you wouldn’t strip tease and lap dance for someone before talking dirty to them because it would be too embarrassing, your character probably wouldn’t do that either.
·        If you’ve never been with someone, read as much as you can within literature, be it erotica, chick-lit, or pure romance novels to broaden your understanding of the act – chances are the author has either done or researched the things they’re writing about.
·        Don’t rely on porn as a source of understanding the ins and outs of an act you haven’t personally experienced. Porn stars do a LOT of behind the scenes prep to ready their bodies for what’s actually filmed. i.e., anal takes a lot more prep work than a bit of spit and some shoving.
·        Do your research! If you’re writing a kinky scene full of BDSM, make sure to check out some websites about that lifestyle and incorporate the language and your learnings accordingly. Don’t just rush in with assumed knowledge and hope for the best because that way leads accidents, pain, and broken trust for most people.
·        Be realistic! The average penis size is 6-8 inches depending on race/age. The average cup size of most women is B-D cups depending on overall body weight. Don’t just throw out 14-inch dicks and boobs as big as watermelons, because that’s not sexy, that’s terrifying.
·        Think about what you’d like someone doing to you, and how you’d react if they did it to you and include that in how you write the scene where it happens.
Use the Right Language
·        Lots of readers (and writers) have words they don’t like to use to describe sex, genitalia, etc. Be mindful of this when writing your scene. “Moist” should only be sued to describe the density of a cake, people!
·        Don’t overuse words. No one actually wants to read the word “cock” fifteen times in a single paragraph. Mix it up a bit to keep things fresh.
·        Avoid flowery prose unless it’s in line with your character’s usual way of thinking or speaking. No one thinks that prettily when they’re in the middle of dicking down.
·        Just let it flow. Write it the way you’re thinking it, or the way you would do it if you were the character getting laid. It hasn’t got to be perfect.
·        Acknowledge that first times, generally, are a bit shit/awkward. No one’s first time is ever that great with a new partner, either as a loss of virginity or just sex for the first time with someone new.  You don’t know what your partner is into or not into, you haven’t found a rhythm, and most of the time it’s all a bit silly and awkward.
·        Don’t be afraid to bring an aspect of humanity to the scene – it’s mortifying but hilarious if someone stubs their toe on the way to the bed to ravish someone. People often knock teeth when they kiss and it’s weird, but you laugh about it or awkwardly pretend it didn’t happen and think about it for days afterwards with pink cheeks. Sometimes, shoving objects into orifices results in the expulsion of air and again, can be mortifying, but it happens and it’s funny and that’s okay. It’s natural. Let it be natural.
·        When in doubt on a word to describe something, pick the one you’re personally the most comfortable with. If you think of willies as ‘knobs’, use that. If you gag at the word “vagina” say “quim”, “twat”, “pussy” or anything else you would commonly use for that body part.
·        Don’t use the funny terms for genitalia. If you want your readers caught up in the scene and getting hot under the collar, under no circumstance should you ever refer to a vagina as a “saucy pink taco” unless you want the reader to burst out laughing about it and leave reviews referencing it every single time (yes, I speak from experience).
·        Please don’t liken different skin tones to foodstuffs. It’s racist.
Know Your Limits
·        It’s okay if you’re uncomfortable writing smut. You haven’t got to include it.
·        Sometimes, a fade-to-black scene is more remarkable than a detailed smut scene.
·        Don’t overdo it. Readers can actually get bored reading smut if there’s too much.
·        Accept that you might not be as good at writing smut as you hoped. It takes practice, and that’s okay.
·        Don’t over-describe things. In the heat of the moment, you might be hyper aware of the way your partner’s stubble scratches delightfully, but you probably can’t actually feel his dangly parts tickling all the way to your belly button and you haven’t got to count his pubes or tell us if it’s got a curve in it unless it’s relevant to the overall experience.
·        You don’t need to give us a play by play of every single moment. I don’t need to know how many times he strokes it before he comes. Describe how it feels more than you describe the mechanics of the act.
·        Don’t make them come in perfect synchronisation – this happens incredibly rarely in real life for most people, and it can immediately make a good sex scene feel unrealistic. Sometimes, your guy is too into it and pops like shaken champagne well before his partner might appreciate and that’s okay as long as he still takes care of business, ya know what I’m saying?
·        For the love of God, set realistic expectations about the number of orgasms someone reaches. Multiple orgasms are possible and do sometimes happen, but they’re not an every-time kind of thing, and also, they’re exhausting. Chafe is a thing. No one wants to literally be shagged raw.
·        Write the scene to match the level of intimacy your characters already have. i.e., if it’s a one-night stand with a stranger, they’re unlikely to know that someone likes a finger in the bum to get off, or that pinched nipples really get someone’s engine revving. Similarly, if they’ve been married for 10 years, one would hope the characters would know what really turns on their partner.
My Process
When I’m going to include a sex scene in one of my stories, I think about all of the above – though usually on more of a subconscious level than as a playbook - and I mostly focus on how the characters are feeling in themselves and with each other. I find it important to set the scene correctly – to pick a location and drop the characters into a scenario that they could realistically end up in together. If the characters are going to get it on, they need to both be up for it, there needs to be some build-up of tension – some foreplay and a little edging to lure the reader in – and they need to be of a personality type where they would end up having sex in that location, at that moment, with that person.
If I need help setting the scene, or the mood of the story, I’m prone to finding some of the sexier songs on my playlists and ruminating in them awhile to get into the mindset. Typically, when I reach that kind of scene in a story, there should already be enough context for why they might be hooking up that it should feel natural and easy for them to slip out of their clothes and get right to it, and if there’s not, it’s not the sex scene that needs work, it’s the foreplay.
Many people find actually writing sex scenes a bit awkward or uncomfortable because they don’t know where to start or what words to use to describe the act, the genitalia, or how to make it feel natural. That’s okay. What’s important to remember is that at the end of the day, you’re writing for you. I tend to approach writing scenes like this with the knowledge that yeah, there’s potentially gonna be a few people other than me reading it, but that at the end of the day, if I like what I’ve written, that’s all that matters. People are always going to have different tastes when it comes to what they want included in a scene, what they find sexy, what squicks them out, and what they didn’t even know they might like until they read it and get all tingly. You can’t please everyone, nor should you try. Please yourself first and foremost, and it will already feel more natural than if you try and force it.
Essentially, the rules I live by for writing – of smut, but also in general – is that it needs to feel realistic and comfortable. If you’re uncomfortable writing something, either because it’s outside your realm of experience or because you’re shy, that will shine through in your writing. The only way to overcome it is to practice. Write the scene from different angles if it helps; try writing it as though you’re going to present it to an 1850s preacher’s wife, and then write it again as though you’re going to have a dominatrix reading it. Write it from the perspective of the gender you most identify with, and then write it again from the differing gender to the one you most readily understand from lived experience. Play with the language. If it makes you giggle to write about your Mister’s goose and dingleberries, and your Miss’s glistening pink pearl, write that and have your giggle. Write it again and use the most flowery and obtuse references you can think of for those same things. Write it again and use the dirtiest, nastiest, tawdriest terms you know.
At the end of the day, most of us like sex, right? And as long as you portray it realistically, no one is going to mind if it’s a bit awkward, or a bit silly, or a bit too overdone. No one is going to mind if you’re not comfortable writing it and elect to exclude it or let people draw their own conclusions. Some of the best intimacy scenes I’ve ever read left three-quarters of the act to the reader’s imagination. You’re writing a love scene, not an instruction manual. Do what comes naturally, or practice until it feels natural, and you’ll be okay. Like the act itself, if everyone involved in the process (you) is comfortable and relaxed and open to everything that’s taking place, it should all just fall into place.
xx-Kitten.

First Wolfstar Fics
these are the first wolfstar fics i ever read. i started shipping wolfstar shortly after discovering drarry lol, and these two ships are my favs from Harry Potter.
Summary: Remus Lupin has been wanting to snog Sirius Black for longer than he could remember, but he knows he's a monster and that no one in their right mind would want to snog him. When Sirius succumbs to the pheromones Remus puts out before a full moon, it comes to light that Sirius has feeling for Remus, too. Too bad the Monster in Remus thinks it's all a bad joke. (By: Kittenshift17)
Summary: Sirius wants Remus to put on his Quidditch sweater. (By: rudesventure)
Summary: Random Remus/Sirius fluff. The Marauders and Lily chatting in the Gryffindor common room. Rated T for a tiny bit of kissing. Also Lily/James. Much joking and just overall fun times with the Marauders and Lily. ONESHOT (By: marauders'-cat)
Summary: Remus is affected by one of the effects of being a werewolf, severe horniness. (By: Spamsterlady)
Summary: Of all the relationships that he knew of in the wizarding world, secretly, James Potter hoped that his future relationship would be just like the one that Remus and Sirius shared. (By: Marie Tomas)
Summary: Remus tries to off himself, and nobody talks about it. (By: Pastel_Teacups)
‼️TW for this fic; warnings are listed in the tags and a/n.
Summary: Something is wrong with Sirius, and Remus wants to find out what. But he's completely oblivious to the problem... what is he to do? (By: inwonderland)
-------

"How did you get in here?" she asked quietly, her voice husky from sleep as she worked to keep him from hearing the fear festering in her heart.
"The doggy-door," he answered sarcastically and Hermione closed her eyes, shaking her head to herself and adjusting her grip on the knife.

dramione hangover breakfast
Hermione grizzled into the arm she'd been using for a pillow, her head splitting and her mouth dry as the desert.
"Noooo," a gruff male voice complained when she stirred, beginning to wriggle out of the arms she'd laid spooned in all night.
"Shhhh," she sighed. "Oh, my head."
"Granger?"
Hermione sat up slowly, rubbing her hands over her face and trying to remember why she'd drowned herself in whiskey and wine to wake up dead like this.
"Just.... quiet, Malfoy," she muttered without looking at the surprised blond on the bed beside her.
"We went home together?" He rasped. "Again?"
"Seems so," she mumbled. "Urgh, I need a shower."
Shuffling across the bed, she rose from it naked and stumbled to the bathroom of his flat, knowing the way well. After all, this wasn't the first time she'd made this particular mistake.
When she felt vaguely more human, Hermione got out and dried off, pausing to brush her teeth before wrapping her hair in a towel and returning to the bedroom still naked. Malfoy was sprawled on the mattress, looking worse for wear, a few love bites littering his neck and chest that she knew she was responsible for.
"Are you staying for breakfast?" He checked while Hermione helped herself to his wardrobe, not about to put last night's ballgown back on in the harsh light of day.
"Yes, please," Hermione murmured.
Draco nodded, rising from the bed too, also naked, she noted with appreciation even if her head was splitting. He dressed quickly before leading her out through his impressive flat and into the kitchen where an elf was already taking care of feeding them.
The first time she'd slept over, she'd taken umbrage with an elf feeding her, but on this, the eleventh time, she hadn't the energy to make a fuss.
"So," he said quietly when they both had cups of tea in hand and a plate of greasy breakfast food before them.
"Must we discuss it every time, Malfoy?" Hermione sighed. "We drink too much and we fuck. And in the morning after it happens, we swear it can never happen again, but it always does. Just accept it."
He eyeballed her in silence after that as they slowly polished off their breakfast.
"Do you have my cream knitted jumper? He asked when the food was almost all gone.
"Possibly."
She did. She wore it around the house whenever she had a bad day and wanted to be cosy because it was the softest thing she owned.
"Can I have it back?" He smirked, quirking an eyebrow.
"No."
He blinked before a soft snort of laughter escaped him.
"Next time we do this, maybe we'll go to your place, and I'll steal back all the clothing you pinch, then," he teased.
"Next time?" She frowned.
"You've just said to accept it keeps happening even when we swear it won't," Malfoy shrugged. "Perhaps we ought to consider letting it happen without needing to get uproariously drunk at work functions before it does?"
Hermione's brow furrowed.
"You're suggesting we... make this a regular thing?"
"I think it's already a regular thing, Granger. What's this, the tenth time we've done this?"
"Eleventh," she corrected.
"Mmm."
They eyed each other speculatively in silence for a long time after that before Hermione sighed and got to her feet. Rounding the table, she thanked the elves for breakfast and wandered to the living room, collecting her shoes and dress on the way.
"Until next time, then?" Malfoy met her by the fireplace, holding a small pot of Floo powder.
"I'll see you at work tomorrow," Hermione nodded.
She huffed in surprise when, before he let her step into the fireplace, he cupped her cheek and guided her mouth to his, kissing her softly.
"Think about my offer," he murmured against her lips when they broke apart.
Hermione nodded, climbing into the fireplace and dropping her powder, whizzing away, knowing she'd do more than think about it and knowing she was probably going to end up marrying the ridiculous man.

This week is a continuation of last week’s discussion on dialogue, but with the added benefit of wine popsicles and reading aloud. We have several examples of great dialogue and one not so great. 
Special shoutout to @kittenshift-17 for allowing us to read a bit from one of her lovely fanfics and discuss how well she writes dialogue for child characters. If you are at all interested in the wonderful world of Harry Potter, she’s got a lot of great stories out there. 
Hope you enjoy the episode!

Okay folks! Following on from a post in "Potions & Parchment" regarding scenes of sex and intimacy and your favourite authors who write them I have exciting news!
Taken from a wish list compiled by members of Potions & Parchment and The Inkwell, we will soon be sharing posts by Oracle Obscured, DeepShadows2, Kittenshift17, The French Press, AND the one, the only, Teddy Radiator!!
In these posts they will share their thoughts on their own process, how and why they make the choices they do when writing intimacy, and much more.
Teddy has also offered to tackle a Q&A on the subject of writing lemons so here is your chance to ask your questions about the art of spicy writing.
Please submit your question below in the comments section. The number of questions put to Teddy will be limited so not every question submitted will receive a response and all questions will be vetted by selected moderators.

Entwined by Kittenshift17
Hermione Granger/Thorfinn Rowle
Summary: *ONE-SHOT* "Come over here and make me!" Hermione dared Thorfinn Rowle, refusing to utter a word in answer to his question. She might be his prisoner, but that didn't mean she had to bend to his will.
Complete (word count: 2,847)

any good hermione and thorfinn fics??? i’ve read the really popular ones but can only find a few. thanks!!!
Okay, so, I don’t know what you might count as “popular” since the pairing is pretty rare, but I’d recommend Factor Z (completed) and Muggle Hunt (in progress), both by crochetaway. Viking-themed fics also seem pretty popular, so check out A Viking’s Promise by AlexandraO (completed oneshot) and Heartlines by Nautical Paramour (very nearly completed). A Promise Unspoken and Bend or Break and Firewhiskey Nights (all currently works in progress) by Kittenshift17 are all pretty great, too (seriously- check their work out if you like Death Eaters x Hermione). Uncut Thread by MaryRoyale (completed oneshot) is also worth the read. 
(I’m assuming you’ve read Parolee and His Princess by Canimal and The Golden Mage’s Captive by Freya Ishtar but if you haven’t - get on that!)
