Hi, can I get a matchup? Thank you in advanced and I hope you're doing well despite the current state of the world ❤

(Edit: almost an hour later and I've finally finished writing this. Let's just say this did not turn out the way I expected AT ALL and I'm so sorry in advanced. But at least I got a new story idea)

Introduction (Innocence): At first, I'm extremely shy, timid, and quiet. I have a hard time opening my mouth and starting conversations. It doesn't always bother me since I like keeping to myself because it keeps me motivated and stay focused on my goals. However, if someone approaches me, I try to be as polite, passive, and friendly as possible. The only way to move out of this stage is to constantly interact with me until I feel comfortable.

Chapter 1 (Reality): Now that I'm comfortable, the snark and attitude starts to come through. At first, it will be a few light-hearted teasing that surprise people. Slowly, the jabs grow harsher and my voice grows louder. The dynamic of the conversation changes as I begin to dominate. My voice rises as my hands do all the talking. Sarcasm and eye rolls are regular parts of conversation. A thick cloud of chaos and self-deprecation arises, leading to a storm of endless rangs about my dramatic woes. In the midst of this confusion, you can't help but wonder: what happened to that soft-spoken girl?

Chapter 2 (Chaos): It has become my personal mission to make your life as miserable as possible. My sinister laughter rings through the air, bringing headaches to those around me. Despite all their attempts, no one stop me writing monologues that parody your towards your crush or stealing your phone until you give me your chips. My ego has devoured my self-deprecation; my word is law. My beauty, my hardwork, my intelligence-- me. You absolutely hate it, but you can't leave. The quick-wit, the variety of humor, and the soft crinkle around my eyes when I smile. The smart-assery is almost endearing. You can't help but wonder, what is she doing to do next? It's a game of cat and mouse, but I am always victorious.

Chapter 3 (Darkness): Beneath the madness, lies a small girl fighting against the shackles against her feet. She will not accept any help, she must escape on her own. Doubt constantly lingers in her mind, a consequence of previous endeavors that failed due to pride. She does not care for those who jeer at her as she struggles, holding her head high. There's only one thing in her mind: she will do anything to escape. It will be methodical, calculating, and nothing less than perfection. And when she does, she vows to do everything in her power to take her rightful spot on the throne.

Chapter 4 (Light): And so she escapes and sets on her path to become queen. Along her path, she befriends villagers who aid her quest. Although she becomes the voice of harsh reason, they heed her wisdom. Her companions know that despite her sharp tongue, she is simply looking out for them. Although she dislikes any form of affection, the cracks of her stone heart shine through her actions. It is here that she finds balance. Innocence, reality, chaos, darkness, and light meld into one.

Conclusion: Unfortunately, the journey is not over. However, the journey itself can teach one a lot about themselves. Thus far, the little girl has learned for her love of novels, often with her head in clouds to escape reality. She's also taken a liking to storytelling, finding solace in writing and storytelling to express the emotions she cannot communicate otherwise. She likes to bathe in her vanity by indugling in fashion and makeup, spending hours to create the perfect look. Despite this newfound sense of self, only time will tell whether she can succeed in her quest.

Adding a summary below because as a fellow matchup writer, I can see how this description would drive you insane. I'm so sorry for the story lol

Summary: At first I'm super shy, but I'm actually a sarcastic smartass that has a large ego and annoys everyone. My only redeemable quality is that I'm funny. Deep down, I'm ambitious, stubborn, and paranoid. With friends I'm the unaffectionate voice of reason that shows love through actions. My hobbies are makeup, reading, writing, and public speaking (aka storytelling).

Hello! 💎

Thank you for sending in a request, I hope you like the result ! I’m doing fine, everybody at home is still healthy! 🙏

So I really enjoy how you elaborated on your layered and complex personality, because when I do matches I take people’s negative traits into consideration and they boy’s as well. Let’s face it, nobody’s perfect, and I like how the characters have their own flaws. I always look at how everybody could develop. (although it is not complete redemption cuz i’m not sure if that is possible for demons. like in paradise lost that is impossible but at this point it is not known how far obey me will go with that 🤷 but anyway regardless of canon i like to think that the MC has a positive effect on each character because i prefer healthy relationships)

So I think your shy first impression would actually draw all of them in. I mean like yeah, they all have their prefered types, but they are also very curious demons (not exactly genuine but curious nevertheless) and would compete to figure out your actual personality. (I mean..Belphie probably not that much but deep down he is interested too)

I think by the time you’d show your deeper layers and vica versa you’d have a strong bond with Mammon (he is supposed to be with you a lot so really; it is hard to avoid opening up to him first but it is up to your imagination how far that goes), Satan would appreciate your shared hobbies and intellect, but it is up to you how much you trust him. Asmo obviously because of makeup, you have a shared interest and he can show you some tricks regarding that. I think both Satan and Asmo could influence your writing also. (Satan knows some lit Devildom stories that the human world lacks, and Asmo probably knows so much gossip nobody is prepared for)

Now obviously, Asmo is not the ideal partner because he would definitely prefer someone affectionate.

I’m deciding between Lucifer and Satan..but I am unsure what kinf of improvement you and Lucifer would result in, despite the connection that might form between you two. (I mean I don’t think it is a good idea to pair a kind of arrogant character with a deep-down paranoid person.)

But I think you and Satan could work out.

I already mentioned the hobbies/shared interests and source of inspiration, but there is more than that to it!

He definitely needs some guidance in his life and no way he would ever let Lucifer play that role.

It’s not that he is not independent, but he should reconcile with his birth as much as he can - you being a dominant voice of reason under the surface is something he can respect.

Yeah he can be pretty dominant and that might result in arguments from time to time, but you are somebody he needs so he will do his best to apologize if he snaps for some reason.

You both are witty and sarcastic and I think you would kind of point out the other’s flaws like that. No offense taken on either side.

So his aggressive tendencies the others warned you about might cause paranoia in you but I don’t think he would actually be violent towards the MC so if you bring it up to him in a conversation he would reassure you that you really shouldn’t worry about that. (and then he beats up whoever made you think that, behind your back)

You see, on the surface he is also calm and collected but on a deeper layer he is also insecure and oh boy he has so much flaws that should be fixed.

Again, you being rational, wise, voice of reason proves to be much needed.

As I elaborated before, in his case I don’t think there is space for complete redemption but he would go a long way with your aid!

He also adores your ambitions and your goals in life.

He would read all the work you decide to share with him! He would disappear into the night reading your story and the next time you see him he has a copy of your story in his hand; little notes everywhere, underlined parts, several bookmarks, tons of insanely detailed questions, sharing his interpretations... you better be ready because it will be a long conversation.

This way he also learns so much about you and the way you express your feelings! He would fall sooo hard, especially when he supposes you like him because of some line on page 73′s third paragraph

He wouldn’t be sure though. (Again, he can be kind of insecure.)

Not until one of you actually makes a move. I think when that time comes, he would absolutely make a reference to one of your stories one way or another. Even if you don’t write romance. He’s smart, he will find a way.

I think he would also help you “stay on Earth” considering your fears and tendency of stubborn and prideful behaviour.

You would never have to ask him for help, as he will be the one suggesting it all the time. He is good at observing people, he will know if/when you need help. He refuses to be rejected by a human so really you have no chance here.

He also has his own sense of humour so time spent together would involve joking around sometimes. I mean despite his facade, he can be a little brat sometimes.

Like a cat he likes his independence so really he is not going to force any affection that you would not welcome. Maybe sometimes he enjoys it, but definitely not early in a relationship.

He would love to participate in your storytelling activities. Not one occassion he would miss.

#obey me!#obey me #obey me satan #obey me matchup #swd obey me #obey me swd #obey me shall we date #submission

Monday Chapters!

Finished Monday chapterss ~~ Boy today was an emotional rollercoaster and I am just so-... Spoilers ahead soo beware if you haven't read todays chapters!

High School Story: Class Act - Chapter 14

Booyyy today was honestly redeeming for the past 2-3 chapters of pure deceptions. I adored everything and I had so many feels, it was quite a r i d e.

So it starts off by the play day arriving. We have some encouraging words for the crew and we kind of go to speak with Skye, Rory and Ajay (he didn't quite apologize but he got me whipped so ill forgive him this time). Everyone is super excited but we realize we didn't get Ajay a present as a director so we of course pay the diamonds to do him a card becouse he deSERves it <333 The scene is cute and then finally the play starts. It all goes great and we kiss Rory (that was a bit meh as I really thought we would have our first kiss before going on stage but whatever, ill let it pass becouse next chapter we confessinggg)... The play is over and we all go see our parents and we find out Rory’s mom came and the money for the treatment was reunited and AHhHH. Danielle also kinda helped by asking the girl our twin used to date (I Honest to god she was so irrelevant and annoying I can't remember her name) to donate her money instead of building ice sculpture so yay redemption arc?. We also find out that although Skye resereved two seats for her parents they didn't come and it broke my heart but Mrs. Silva being the awesome mother she is, took Skye under her wing and it was adorable. We then go home and start preparing for the cast party we will host and the chapter is over.

You can't even begin to imagine how hyped I am for next monday like oUR little baby mc will finally confess and I will even give out all my diamonds if it meant being with Ajay and ahHHHH... The chapter was amazing, I love everyone (except Trevor) and goodnight.

Desire and Decorum Book 2 - Chapter 4

Aghhhh I loved this chapter so much?? All the quality time we got with our gang and my boy Mr. Sinclaire was so amazing??

The chapter starts with us arriving to Grovershire and we see Briar’s mom. We then write a letter to all our friends informing them of the situation and a few days later we find out they all came?? for mc?? and I just love them all so much?? We then play around a bit while showing them the town and we get a diamond option over there but nah... We then go to our old house were we find a letter form our mother and its quite sad. As we exit the house we find mr. Sinclaire <333 and we have the option of a diamond scene to go visit the river bank and of freaking course I took it and it was amazing. We got to be all showy and seeing Mr. Sinclaire flustered is a win win in all the ways possible. As we head back we find a paper crane of the same guy prince thingy trying to rally people to turn against him and be free?? and we just shrug it off but I think maybe the Duke is the one trying to start a turmoil... Anyways the chapter ends with Briars mom telling us that a festival would be tomorrow so be prepared.

I believe next weeks chapter will probably end with lady grandmother or the duke finding us and some consequences would be involve... I dunno... I just wanna be happy with my grumpy and flustered Mr. Sinclaire ;w;

The Heist: Monaco - Chapter 6

In todays chapters we finally got to complete our crew! ahhhh I am so excite of whats to comee!!

The chapter basically starts with our safe-house on flames thanks to Ansel -.-, we get the diamond options to upgrade to this luxurious places but I ain’t wasting my diamonds sooo I got the trashy one.

Anyways, we realize we kind of need to up our acting game, so we are going to find our last member, a grifter. We go see this man going by the name of Peter Graves who is pulling a con acting as a bad actor (if that makes any sense? lol) and although he is kind of a lot pompous he is good at acting and wants to become a Hollywood star. Then we go see this girl named Miranda Moreau who is kind of related to the royalty pulling some cons at a charity event and she is also kind of meh. In the end I choose Peter as he was free but I didn't specifically liked one more than the other, maybe later when we get to know them more lol. We go back to our trash house and Anton (my baby meme lorddd) informs us that its gonna be even harder to infiltrate to the event because of this super security thingy Ansel prepared so yeah that should be fun.

I honestly though Sonia was going to be our last member? Kinda disappointed but its alright, she will definitely turn on Ansel (maybe that depends on the heist points? hmmm...). Anyways here is the picture of my crew and I love them all ~

So thats it for todays chapters and I am very excited for next week, specially High School Story: Class Act which Ill probably write a two thousand words essay on if I finally get to kiss ajay lol I am not even kidding

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child parts one and two were........... pretty much simultaneously the worst and best thing I have ever seen.

I’m not going to centre on plot because we all Know thats a fuckin shitshow but here:

• I really enjoyed Alex Price’s performance as Draco and the scene where he tells Scorpius they can hug too if he wants was absolutely adorable. Scorpius literally LEAPT into his arms and was hanging off the ground he was so eager to hug him and then they hugged three more times during the subsequent scene just because Scorpius was sooo excited to be able to hug his dad. Alex makes Draco’s love for Astoria and Scorpius so evident and I’m really glad I got to see him portraying Draco’s redemption arc that we all deserved.

• I actually didn’t mind Paul Thornley as Ron. His characterization was a lot more like movie Ron than book Ron and I’d have liked to have some elements concerning Ron as more than just comedic relief but he delivered all his lines really well and was fiercely protective of and loving with Hermione which added some depth to the character- if not as much as I would have liked. I did really like the implication that Ron takes care of the children far more than Hermione does since he was always the carer in their relationship (I also like the line that informs us that Harry is the one who cooks more than Ginny. You know my boys are out here absolutely DESTROYING toxic male mentality and doing it like true bamfs)

• Poppy Miller was very powerful as Ginny and I really enjoyed the vulnerability she portrayed while revisiting the memory of being possessed by Voldemort. Her banter with Paul was fabulous and you could really tell they were siblings and her motherly concern about Albus and love for Harry was so strong and unwavering. Book Ginny would be proud.

• Noma Dumezweni was exceptional as Hermione and I truly believed in the growth that happened in the twenty or so years between the end of the books and before the show begins. She was as level headed, intelligent, determined and rash as Hermione always is and her voice was gorgeous and so clear and crisp and clean. I could honestly write pages on pages about her diction and projection and prononciation and articulation- you can really see the training that went into every single aspect of her performance.... I think I’m in love

• The scene in the library between Albus (Sam Clemmett) and Scorpius (Anthony Boyle) was more heartbreaking to me than the stair ballet. They were just struggling sooo hard to communicate with each other and get over the frustration they felt at their fathers and their situation that they were misplacing as frustration at each other and Anthony was so incredibly fragile when he started talking about his mom. He just broke when Albus said he hadn’t been a loser before he met scorpius. And I loved that he didn’t give Albus an easy out. Sam played the guilt and shame he felt at hurting his best friend very very well and his apology was stumbling and awkward but so so genuine.

• There was this really sweet moment between Scorpius and Albus right before they try to trap Delphi in the church where Scorpius sort of touched the side of Albus’s face and then stroked his hair. They didn’t say anything but it looked like they were telling each other to be careful and I could really feel the friendship and love coming off them. The dreaded act 4 scene whatever the fuck it is is still there but it honestly feels like it’s a lot more about Scorpius and Albus than it is about Rose and Anthony played Scorpius’s failure at being full of swag magnificently. Their hug after she leaves was also really awkward but cute and I loved it so much!! :)

• Sam in general was just very adorable and I literally died anytime he put on this one specific grey sweater that engulfed him and gave him sweater paws and he held himself in a sort of unsure, awkward stance picking at the sleeves with his messed up hair and this is literally the reason why some part of me is still straight.

• I’m also almost a hundred percent sure Anthony has some sort of Shakespeare training because there were times he would speak so powerfully I saw spit literally FLYING across the stage. He had to play so many emotions and I can’t imagine how draining this show must be for him but he keeps his energy up the entire goddamn time and I swear if he isn’t the most badass person onstage I don’t know who is.

• The standout for me was really Jamie Parker. He just portrayed Harry with such depth and realness; I could really feel the conflict and the fear and the uncertainty deep deep inside him and it was sooo impactful. When he called out Dumbledore for abandoning him to the Dursleys for 17 years I really felt his pain and sense of betrayal. When his son was taken he broke down and it was almost like he was a child again seeing Sirius die before his eyes. His attempts to connect with Albus were so well meaning and he looked so small and lost and it just really made me realize how much Harry missed out on. Good parents, a good childhood, adults who cared for him as Harry and not ‘The boy who lived’. I will still never forgive the line about Harry wishing Albus wasn’t his son, I do not believe it’s something Harry James Potter would ever say.... But Jamie really was one of my favourite parts of the entire show.

• One of the best scenes by far was when Albus, Delphi and Scorpius took poly juice potion and transformed into Harry Ron and Hermione. Noma, Jamie and Paul were hilarious and i really liked seeing their take on the characters and them just acting like goofy teenagers/young adults. It was really really funny

• The tricks of theatre and the poly juice transformation and the magic fights and the moving staircases were definitely the best part of the entire show. It was fucking IMPRESSIVE as all hell!!! The transportation into the ministry was done by having someone disappear through a trap door while their cloak was sucked into the phone booth. For the underwater scene Albus and Scorpius were on wires and bathed in blue light. Moaning Myrtle’s costuming was really good and she looked like a literal actual ghost. The aesthetics and the props and the costuming and the choreography was my favourite part of the entire show it felt like actual magic OH MY LORD it almost (almost) made up for the shit writing

• Oh! Dumbledore was also a lot more like Richard Harris than Michael Gambdon and my soul is now soothed ™

#it speaks #this was a really long one im sorry #but in my defense....its a double parter so...#harry potter #harry potter and the cursed child #broadway #hermione granger #ron weasley #scorpius and albus #draco malfoy #ginny weasley #jamie parker #noma dumezweni #paul thornley #anthony boyle #sam clemmett #alex price #little harry was also completely adorable i wanted to scoop him up and give him the BIGGEST fucking hig ypu dont even know

Harry Potter Fic Recs

This is my very picky fic rec list that includes my all-time favorites. They’ll be separated off in these sections: Severitus/Sevitus, Drarry, Harrymort/Tomarry, Snarry, and Other Pairings. Check it out :) :D Hopefully, I might add a second part to this list later hehe XD

Gen

Dead Man Walking is a Regulus mentors Harry fic and it’s just so good? Like? I mean. I’m sorry, I just don’t have words for the amazingness that is this work. I refuse to say this is abandoned cause it’ll break my soul so it’s a WIP. Don’t anybody tell me otherwise!

Severitus/Sevitus

Harry’s First Detention and Harry’s New Home are my absolute favorites in this category! I’ve reread it so many times and the utter fluff and the growth in their relationship gets me every time <3 Rec this times a million! This starts in Harry’s First Year and goes from there. Also, what Harry calls Voldemort cracks me up EVERY TIME and I devolve into tears cause the utter cuteness just gets me! Complete.

Emerald Eyes makes me wish Severus had actually responded this way in canon. He’s not perfect, but their relationship grows and develops well <3 Complete.

In Care Of is a pretty popular fic, I believe, so I guess it’s sort of moot to rec it, but here you go. Features animagus!Snape and Snape realizing he’s pretty blind to Harry, which is my favorite moment in these fics! Complete.

To Shape and Change is a Snape time travels story and he fixes things pretty logically cause, you know, it’s Snape lol. I do like how he takes care of Harry though and it’s definitely a mentorship relationship between the two. Complete.

Perception is Everything is a different Severitus and there’s not enough where Snape realizes his mistakes and fixes it when Harry’s older, mostly cause it’s harder to deal with a hardened Harry. But this one manages it SO WELL and it’s definitely amazing! Wish there was more to this AU tbh. Complete.

Self Preservation is so adorable! Harry goes with Snape because he thinks that since Snape scares everyone, he’s safe with him! I like how their relationship grows slowly, at least on Snape’s side lol, and it’s so fluffy! Definitely another favorite! Complete.

A New Place to Stay is my ABSOLUTE favorite in this category! I’ve reread it so many times and love it and get sucked into it just as much as the first time! I SO wish Horcruxes had been handled this way in canon and Harry grows so much with positive adult attention and it’s so beautiful, you know? I love it so much and rec it times a million! Complete and very long!

Murtlap Thief and its sequel are also really good and occurs in Harry’s 4th year. It’s really cute how their relationship grows and natural too :) Definitely love it and features cute!Harry! Complete, as is its sequel!

Definition of Home and its sequel are AMAZING. I mean, it’s oliver.snape, are we even surprised? But it’s soooo good! READ IT. You won’t regret it! Oh, it also has a little epilogue series here. Complete!

Far Beyond a Promise Kept is a Harry and Snape time travel story! It’s a mentor story and it’s just so good! Once again, oliver.snape sooo... :D Complete.

Unexpected Effects can be a Severitus or a Snarry, depending on if you read the alternative ending. Let me just say this... basilisk!Harry. I know you want to read it ;)

A Year Like None Other: is any Severitus list complete without this? Love it, just love it. Also, the Draco/Harry friendship is my thing. Complete, but the series is a WIP!

Harrymort/Tomarry

Don’t Fuck With Florists (They’ll Fuck You Up) is a time travel and Tomarry. I love it because Harry just fucks with Tom and Tom still falls in love <3 It cracks me up but it’s also believable :) One-shot.

Lucifer is perhaps my most favorite Tomarry one-shot because it’s a soulmate AU and yet the way their relationship grows is very believable. I like that Harry doesn’t make Tom completely good, but he’s not as bad as he could be without Harry. One-shot.

The Love of a Good Wizard is the VERY first Tomarry I read and it will always hold a special spot just for that <3 I also just love Pansy in here :D Really, it’s totally cute I love me some possessive!Tom XD Time Travel. Complete.

Seventeen Years is totally weird but also my favorite because it’s so very much like Voldemort to be this way :D It’s a muggle!AU.... but Harry and Voldemort are still not normal muggles :) Sort of incest, I suppose, but not exactly. One-shot, sadly.

As Portioned From the Whole is so very messed up and so delicious for that. It’s also so beautifully written! It’s a Voldemort raises Harry story, but a Harrymort as well. Still updating!

A Snake Named Voldemort is so fabulous, why haven’t you read it yet?? Features: Parseltongue!! Complete.

Harry Potter and the Shadowed Light is a WIP and a Tomarry, but it’s SO GOOD. OHMYGOODNESS. READ IT. It’s just amazing what the writer does with common tropes and makes it totally unique! I just love it and I’ve reread it and it’s just so good! READ IT.

Avarice is just so good. Horcrux!Harry and it’s just so deliciously dark that I can’t handle it <3 It’s a WIP and I love it so much <3 Part one of a series!

Harry Potter and the Darkness series is the ultimate Harrymort series for me. It’s just so good <3 Pretty sure it’s a classic, but I couldn’t not include this!

Solace in Shadows is not exactly a Tomarry since I’m sure it’s Gen, but it’s a Diary!Tom kidnaps Harry story :D Poor Harry <3 Almost 200k and a WIP

Death is But the Next Great Adventure is a MoD!Harry and it’s just really adorable Harry’s relationship with Death :D A WIP and I love it!

Your Name On My Heart is an AU and Tom and Harry are soulmates, and it’s also just so well-done :D I love it! It’s a WIP but near the end, I believe.

The Glass Serpent and the Dark Horse: First of all, this is an AU in that Tom Sr. rescues Tom Jr. from the orphanage. Yep. Never read a story like that, so read it, if only for that :D Tom Sr. is so lovable here <3 Definitely different from the usual bastard!Tom Sr.! Also, a Tomarry <3 WIP.

on top of the world is me inserting my own Harrymort here amongst all the others because I’m #shameless lol. But I do enjoy writing this story and it’s a Harry joins Voldemort story and you should totally read it and warm my heart and make me smile :) :D *puppy eyes* Currently 34k but I do regularly update ;) :D <3

Snarry

Invisible is a WBWL story, but it’s handled well and angsty enough with redemption. Also, Snape’s and Harry’s relationship isn’t the focus and occurs later on in the story. It’s a friends-to-lovers sort of story, and it’s very natural the way they fall in love and beautiful for that. Not only that, I just love how this writer develops the world of potions in here! Also it features apprentice!Harry and I love it :D Complete and very long!

6 Lessons From a Dead Man is basically pre-slash, but it’s still so good! It happens post-epilogue and features alive!Snape. Basically, Snape kidnaps Harry and his children. Not going to say anymore. One-shot.

Courtship Rituals is a definite favorite, maybe just cause I’m a sucker for courting, but also cause it’s Meri and nearly 60k of utter well-written goodness. One-shot.

Back in Time is so cute that I can’t help but love it. I sat down and read it all in one sitting cause it was very addicting. Actually, reccing it makes me want to reread it lolol. Time Travel. Complete.

My Name is Cameron Sage is a Time Travel! And a friends-to-lovers and I’m a sucker for them. I truly love it <3 Oh, Harry also has red hair in here I believe? I’m pretty sure. That just sticks out to me for some reason so.... :D Complete.

A Convenient Marriage: I gotta admit, I’m a sucker for the slow romances and I really like the forced marriage trope. It’s a very slow romance, but Harry personally grows a lot and I just love it <3

The Slytherin Method is my FAVORITE Snarry EVER. Okay, just, Draco/Harry friendship? Harry using his Slytherin side? I mean, daaaaamn but this has so many of my favorite things <3 Even better, Harry pursues Snape ;) Complete.

Omega!Verse is a trilogy and this a link to it, it’s still a WIP but on the 3rd book so, just read it. It features A/B/O, but it’s done differently and features politics. Also, another Harry pursues Snape, but I love how he goes about it <3 It’s also an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers story and they’re my thing. WIP.

The Mating Rituals of a Crabby Hermit is just so cute :D I like how Snape is characterized and it features pining!Harry <3

Thicker than Water is a chan story and features manipulative Snape, but it’s also really beautiful too. I just really do love it and Harry doesn’t remain completely oblivious to Snape’s manipulations throughout the whole story. One of my favorites, but if you’re not into it, don’t worry about it. One-shot.

Drarry

Heir is a Drarry, but unfortunately was abandoned before that truly takes off. I think it was in the beginning stages. However, for those of you who like the Horcrux influencing Harry more and a bit of Voldemort mentorship, this is so for you! It’s amazing and almost 200k, even without the Drarry!

A Change in Perspective features deaged!Harry and him in all his cuteness! Well-written and so very fluffy, even though it has its angsty moments. Definitely rec it, if only for the pro-Slytherin-ness hehe. Complete.

Who Shagged Harry Potter? is so very hilarious and I keep rereading it just for the laughs. Fluffy as well <3 One-shot.

The Devil’s White Knight is a time travel Drarry and features lots of family bonding and fluff before the Drarry develops, but I definitely love this one and have reread it quite a few times. Complete and sequel in the works.

Leo Inter Serpentes is my absolute favorite rewrite of canon! It features Slytherin!Harry (which is my weakness) and a BAMF!Narcissa. Oh, and Sevitus as well :) :D Just finished Book 6 and still a WIP!

Conception of Dreams is a creature!fic and features possessive!Draco. Really, I read it for those two things and it totally delivered <3

Secrets is THE Drarry fic. I mean, ohmygoodness. First of all, wish canon had gone this way. Also, just really, really love this and READ IT. NOW. Complete and satisfyingly long!

Malfoy Flavor is a Severitus as well and while it’s slightly ooc at times, it’s still really good. Complete, with one-shot sequel.

A Brother to Basilisks is so good! It’s nearly 500k, y’all. I mean, ohmygoodness. Also, parseltongue! AND A BASILISK. YES. JUST READ IT. WIP!

Malfoy Child features deaged!Draco and Harry is so sweet. I mean, are we surprised? Complete.

Azoth is my favorite Drarry fic for sure. It’s an EWE fic and an 8th year as well, and Harry ends up apprenticing under Snape for potions and it’s so good? Like? Can I even explain it? Just read it. Complete.

I Choose Him is a fourth year AU and so beautiful. I mean, I just love the canon divergence and the way things fall. It’s very fluffy and definitely something you’d read to pick up your mood, at least from what I’m remembering! Complete.

Simple Acts is such a good series. Just, read it. It’s so beautiful. This writer’s Drarry fics are an utter work of art, no joke. WIP series.

The I Do Series is over 800k for the series alone. I’m just saying that’s amazing and SUCH an amazing way post-canon is done. Also, this story is my definition for Drarry <3 WIP series.

The War Mages Trilogy is so good. It’s a time travel and Draco’s and Harry’s relationship are utter goals, also the way they completely ruin everyone’s plans? Yes. Just, yes. The first story is complete!

Bound Prince series is a 7 book series and complete! Harry’s and Draco’s relationship is definitely interesting in here and I do really like it :) Features lots of smut lol but it has a plot-necessary reason. Complete.

just a bit of magic: lol here’s me being #shameless again. This is a two-shot I am writing (first part posted and is 11k) where Harry is a Muggleborn and Lily is alive. It’s utter fluff. Seriously. I gave myself cavities writing it. Just read it if you want some Drarry fluff :) <3 WIP and I plan on making the AU a series.

Other Pairings

Every Flavor Beans was my first fic of this pairing and my favorite for that reason, but it’s also just so manipulative that I love it for that? :D Initially Drarry, but.... :3 Harry/Lucius. 40k One-shot.

A Malfoy’s Ways features dark!Harry and I just really love this one-shot! Harry/Lucius.

Influence of Souls features a dark!Harry who doesn’t give an eff about anyone who isn’t Sirius. Oh, this is a Harry/Sirius btw, and sooo good :D Complete.

face death in the hope is a Regulus/Harry Time Travel and is a WIP, but so well-written :D READ IT. I mean, there’s Regulus in it. Need I say more?

The Beguile and Devotion of a Black Heir is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE HP fic, hands down. It’s over 300k and a WIP and it’s just so good? I mean??? So well-written and has so many of my favorite tropes and it’s just SO GOOD. This writer is after my heart <3

Taking Chances is a forced bonding fic and a Percy/Harry. I just really like it for the rare pairing and the way their relationship grows <3 One-shot.

Sleep tight, love is sooooo adorable! It’s a Harry/Charlie story and I just really love it :D Harry ends up working in the reserve and it’s just so great! Complete.

But, Harry, It’s George is just the cutest and just read it. It’s Harry/George, if that wasn’t obvious lol. One-shot.

The Tribulation of the Blue Moon is an amazing AU, if only because the whole story takes place outside of the Wizarding World and features werewolf!Harry. It’s a Harry/Fenrir and I love it <3 Complete. Sequel in the works.

Wizards and Werewolves Don’t Mix is a cute story and full of fluff. I just love how the relationship grows <3 Harry/Fenrir. Of course, towards the end had a part that I was very much against and almost made me drop the story, but I pushed through and the ending made it worth it. If you want to know what that one part is, feel free to message me! Complete.

Silver Arrow is an AU and it’s so well-written :D I love it! Harry/Fenrir. Complete.

Now, I have way more favorites and a lot more good fics to rec, however there’s a lot. So, here’s a link to my ao3 bookmarks. The fics I mentioned above are my absolute favorites, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have way more lol.

VOLTRON SEASON FOUR ANALYSIS/CALLOUT TO FANDOM

WARNING:THIS POST IS GOING TO BE SUPER LONG BUT IT’S GOING TO BE THE MOST WORTHWHILE THING EVER. (hopefully)

So, I just finished watching Voltron season 4 and let me just say WHAT A RIDE. This show is amazing and it continually gets better and better with each passing season. There were many fans that were complaining that season 4 wasn’t well written and that it didn’t satisfy any questions. I’m going to talk about many points of the entire show and hopefully explain MY OPINION about why season 4 was absolutely amazing and that we have SO MUCH TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

1. Clone Shiro-

So, it is quite obvious that the “Shiro” we have now is not the real Shiro. Season 3 talked a lot about project Kuron and its different stages. There was lots of evidence and speculation to why he was a clone. We were hoping that in season 4 that someone would discover that he was a clone and that the real Shiro would come back. That did not in fact happen. What did happen was “Shiro” going back to piloting the black lion which was SHOCKING. We all thought that wasn’t going to happen since the black lion would obviously realize that “Shiro” is a clone. But when you look in context, if the black lion didn’t let clone Shiro pilot him, then other members of voltron could have died or gotten injured badly. Also, as far as we know, clone Shiro thinks he is real Shiro. He is trying desperately to bond with his lion again in a sincere way. The black lion may just have let this new Shiro pilot him. When the real Shiro comes back though(which it’s obviously GOT to happen) it’s going to be so much more dramatic since clone Shiro is the black lion’s pilot now.

2. Lotor-

I believe that Lotor may just be one of the greatest characters in this entire show. Many people were complaining about how much screen time and character development he got this season, but I was loving every second of it. Lotor is THE most confusing character in the entire show when it comes to his motives and goals. He fully deserves the screen time he got. In season 3 he started off looking like the most powerful bad guy ever. He was cool and interesting. Then at the end of the season he attacked his own base(which we still don’t have an explanation for). He also wants to harvest quintessence from other realities just like his parents did. I feel like that is a strange motive for him. He is far too intelligent and he has seen what it did to Zarkon and Haggar. Season 4 came around and it seemed as if one thing after another went wrong for him. Zarkon took command, he was cast out, written off as a traitor to be killed on site, he was spied on and had to kill Narti, his gate to the alternate reality didn’t work, his generals betrayed him, and Zarkon attacked him. WHILE ALL THESE THINGS WERE HAPPENING THOUGH HE WAS SO CALM. HE DISLOCATED HIS SHOULDERS WITH SUCH EASE JUST GOOD GOD. He always seemed to have a plan even when he didn’t really have a plan. At the end of the season when he says he wants to talk with Voltron, he has truly hit rock bottom yet he still has so much confidence. I see but two possibilities for him currently. The first one is about the redemption arc he appears to be going down. Fans are saying it is way to early for him to be having this kind of arc, but what if this was supposed to be his main arc all along? He could become a full-on member of Voltron and it would be EPIC. The second possibility seems to make more sense to me. Despite all the things that happened, Lotor was ALWAYS calm(maybe a little frustrated or tired, but never irrational). I would NOT surprised if Lotor just wanted to use team voltron for a while so he could take them down from the inside. Or he could have even been planning this ALL FREAKING ALONG(bit far-fetched, I know). There could be so many other bad possibilities that could happen to team voltron if they end up trusting Lotor. I personally believe that Lotor is going to play a huge role in this show.

2. Character development-

There have been SOOO many complaints throughout the ENTIRE show that there hasn’t been enough character development. I could actually agree on a few points, the show needs lots more character development, but we have seen a total 39 episodes and we still have 39 more to go. This show is not over. But I think there still has been a lot of great character development in some characters. Keith was willing to give himself up in the last episode and that terrified me. I was already plan to post something about his death before he THANKFULLY survived. He went from someone who was all about being a part of voltron in season 1 to being so detached that he joined the Blade and became willing to give up his own life whenever circumstance called. Allura became a strong and great character when she became a paladin. She has so many untold powers that she has yet to unlock, both within herself and the blue lion. (I would really like some of these to explained SOON). Allura has turned into a independent character who has learned to live on even with the loss of her father. Lance has so many insecurities that he keeps hidden most of the time. I am thoroughly convinced that this might cause something terrible to happen to him(I’m not saying him dying, that scares me to much) but he could get terribly injured or something. Even through all of his insecurities, he has turned into a mature(definitely not all the time) “right-hand-man” kind of character. He gave Allura a SPECTACULAR speech in episode 6 that broke me. Just so many things! I love all of the characters so much and I would love to see more development with Hunk, Pidge, Coran, and whatever the heck is going on with clone Shiro and real Shiro. Pidge showed some promising character development in season four that made me excited for the next seasons. I am positive that our precious children will get the development they deserve.

4. Ships-

This is stupid. Yes, I do in fact ship a lot of different ships in this show, but the show comes before the ships. Ships should be our last concern when it comes to things in the show. We still need things like character development, plot, and answered questions. I promise you the people who are creating this show do listen to us. I wouldn’t be surprised if a ship did become canon, it would just probably be later in the show after all the characters get full development. It’s not wrong to ship things in the show, but when ship gets in the way of show, then it’s a problem.

*SUPER IMPORTANT MUST READ IF YOU READ PREVIOUS PARAGRAPHS

This is the paragraph where I will do a lot of tying everything together with a crap lot of persuading. Voltron is a show that is planned to have 78 episodes. That is a lot. We have seen 39 of these episodes which means we still have 39 episodes to go(which I think is pretty neat). In the first season was a lot of setting things up with character development and getting an arc going. Season two continued on that arc, but it also went a few other directions at the same time.In both of these seasons the show moved at a good and healthy pace. At this point the show didn’t have that many unanswered questions and we were expecting them to be answered in the coming season. But in season 3 and season 4, we got only more questions. We got more characters. We got more relationships. We got more variety. We got more action. We got more everything until it overwhelmed itself and us. There was simply no time to address any previous questions because of all the new ones being created. Let me tell you why this was the greatest decision they could have ever made with the show. I know what you’re thinking, you probably think I’m crazy. They ignored a lot of character development and each of the characters flew into so many different arcs that it just became insane. The plot was also crazy, there were so many different characters with different character points of view that the plot was all over the place. So, so many unanswered questions that remain to be answered. All the while all I’m thinking is how excited I am to watch season 5. Am I the only one here that realized that all these four seasons have been doing is just to set up some huge story-line? This is totally my opinion, but I just feel as if something huge is about to happen. We are EXACTLY half way through the show, 39 episodes in, 39 more to go. The show up until this point has been all about trying to confuse the crap out the fans with all the questions and theories. They have introduced so many concepts and theories into this show that have yet to be explored. Characters have progressed so much already that I can’t wait to see how much more dramatically they are going to develop soon. I feel that that was the point of the show up until this point. They wanted to introduce all the variables on the board before they begin to play with them. I feel the next half of the show is going to be INSANE. Huge reveals, questions answered in the most unexpected ways because they were left for seasons unanswered which makes them so much more satisfying when they are answered. Just think of all the possibilities! Think of all the different ways the Shiro/Kuron/Clone thing could go down. Think of the unexplained character Lotor and all the terrifying possibilities he can take in this show. Will Zarkon even be one the throne for much longer or will Lotor take over again? I don’t know! The whole concept of alternate realities has so much potential to be explored. For all you people out there who are upset that Keith is with the Blade of Mamora now, don’t be! Keith has already gone through so many character arcs that I severely doubt that this character arc is going to last long. Let me tell you something important right now: the paladins and their lions are not set in stone. I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the current paladins right now go off on their own and then come back and be a paladin again to a different lion. I’m convinced that Keith could easily become a paladin of voltron again later in the show. Who knows whether or not the paladins will remain paladins? They could switch around more, or certain characters could decide to work in a different area. All of the characters are going to get their characters arcs I can assure you. I’m still a firm believer in the fact that someone in the show could die(that scene with Keith in season 4 episode 6 really scared me ok) There is in fact still time left show. We don’t even know what kind of outcome the show is going to get. Will it be a good outcome? A bad outcome? Or something none of us ever expected to happen? There are so many different opportunities to explore and I personally can’t wait to see what they do. This is an extremely well developed show. The show has changed drastically since the first two seasons, so why can’t it change even more? Whose to say that in season 5 we are blown away with how vastly different it is from previous seasons?

The point of this entire post was to help people realize that voltron is going to be an excellent show. The writers know what they are doing. The show is going to develop beautifully. We just need to sit back and let it happen.

(this was truly a 3 am induced post so take it or leave it your choice)
