#you're such an incredible force in this corner of the fandom and I love having you around
It's incredible to me what a huge postive force OFMD has become in my life.
Just on its own, OFMD is a damn good show. You can turn on any episode and you're gonna have a good time. It's got great characters, fun layers to analyze, and on top of that it's really fucking funny. It's a comforting show to watch no matter what mood you're in.
And it has such good themes and messages! It encourages me to act more like myself and love more openly and enthusiastically! This show has, by miles, done more for my self-acceptance than years of therapy. It means so much to me, and it encourages me to treat myself with more compassion as I work towards a life I want to live. OFMD looks you in the eyes and it says it's never too late, you're lovable, and don't you forget it.
As if the show itself wasn't enough, the fandom! Sure, every fandom has its bad spots, but in my little corner here? Things are pretty great. I love checking out everyone's art and fics and sharing mine. This is such a talented, supportive space! I know that no matter how stressful things are I can pop on here for a bit to play in this space with everyone.
Just grateful, tonight, for having this show in my life. I'm glad I'm here in this space with you all.

24 Tomarrymort Recs for 2022 (One-Shot Edition)
A thank-you to the Tomarrymort community, inspired by @sitp-recs's wonderful rec lists!
Criteria for this list: one-shot, complete, published in 2022. I tried to include a wide array of tropes and themes and ratings, but of course I haven't read everything published on AO3 in the past year, so please always feel free to drop fic suggestions in my Ask box! I aimed for 22 fics (for 2022) but found too many unforgettable fics in my bookmarks, so 24 it is.
(Standard rec list disclaimers apply: please mind the tags; this is not intended as the ultimate reclist, only a reflection of my own tastes + what I had time to read this year; recs are arranged alphabetically by fic title.)
Multi-chaptered fics and WIPs will get their own posts, but for now, please enjoy these wonderful one-shots that were all written in the last year and remind me of how multifaceted and talented our little corner of the fandom is! These amazing authors made me gasp and cry and laugh and heavy breathe (sometimes all within the same fic). *
Tomarrymort Recs (One-Shot Edition)
Alive Really Isn't Your Color by @meles-merrivale (T, 6k)
A beautifully written, bittersweet take on Harry's life after the war and what it means to fall in love with someone you're supposed to hate and who's supposed to be dead. There's so many stunning, evocative lines from this fic that I could quote, but I'll leave you with this one: "How did Harry ever think Voldemort didn’t understand emotion? The man feels everything, feels it with his whole body, twisting his face and coiling his magic and tearing apart the world with the force of it."
contrapasso by hanamichi (E, 13k)
This was GRIPPING from beginning to end. The author does an incredible job with showcasing Harry's struggling emotional state after the war, and his grief is just so palpable. Harry and Voldemort's dynamic is gorgeous here.
From Every Ruin by @officialsporkintheroad (M, 5k)
Time loops beloved! This was such a clever take on the classic graveyard encounter, and there's nothing more that I love seeing than Harry losing it with every successive time loop.
Gaunt by @wixen-writes-tomarry (M, 8k)
A sense of uneasiness pervades this fic — lots of haunting prose and elements of psychological horror — it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. A must-read if you like alternate takes on Harry encountering another one of Tom's horcruxes (in this case, the ring horcrux).
In Your Image by @perhaps-sunlight (T, 11k)
An AU loosely based on the Portrait of Dorian Gray, with Tom as a painter who's found immortality and eternal youth by stealing his victims' souls away and what happens when he sets his eyes on Harry— very suspenseful and gripping throughout, and I love how it cleverly weaves in elements of canon that were very fun to recognize!
knock it off by TheOnceandFutureQueenofTarts (E, 3k)
Harry having a masochistic streak is a characterization that I adore, and this fic does an amazing job delving into this aspect of his psychosexual development that by the time he meets the locket horcrux, it all goes downhill from there. It's also so funny and written in a snappy way, I laughed out loud at the ending.
Love at First Sight by @dividawrites (E, 5k)
One of the funniest things I've ever read in this ship — every single line of Harry's desperate pleading to Voldemort had me howling. And it wouldn't be a Divida fic without super hot smut at the end (featuring! actual! hemipenes!!) The best take on creature inheritance trope I've read.
My Decorated Horcrux by @youknowmevj (E, 4k)
I love Voldemort wins AUs; it's fascinating to explore the dynamic that he'd have with Harry in his new regime, and oh, does this fic deliver! Voldemort adorning Harry and showing him off is always a treat, plus Harry remaining his defiant self — so many fun elements in this PWP.
on the other side by @philolust (E, 3k)
One of the most haunting things I've read this year. Voldemort's POV is surprisingly heartbreaking; actually, the whole fic is heartbreaking. I don't want to give too much away, but this is an EXCELLENT take on the trapped-in-a-room trope.
On the rejection of love by Baryshnikov (T, 2k)
A really interesting exploration of Tom being aroace and what that means in terms of being in a relationship with Harry. I love this author's series on aroace Tom overall; it was hard to pick a favorite!
paradise / circus by but_seriously (E, 5k)
Snappy banter and really hot smut in this PWP, a perfect generation mashup that showcases a great depiction of how Harry doesn't actually hate Tom as much as he claims 😊
Personal Assistant by @phantomato (E, 10k)
This one is an absolute masterpiece, an incredible study in suspense. It's a really unique take on a universe where Voldemort never comes back after his initial downfall on Oct 31, 1981, and features a very realistic depiction on who Harry grows to be if he didn't have the formative childhood adventures that we saw in the books. There's an incredibly skillfully crafted mystery at the heart of this story, and when it all comes together in the end, I screamed and gasped and immediately reread it looking for clues that Phantomato had layered in all throughout.
saw you in a dream by @duplicitywrites (E, 2k)
Dream sex with Voldemort! The writing is so ethereal and floaty and poetic, packed full of intensely sensual phrases like, "Its shadowy form sinks deeper into Harry's body, soothing him. Harry can feel it everywhere, like ice through his veins, like they’re two halves of the same whole." It's the perfect dream sex sequence fic 💖
Sola Fide by @crowcrowcrowthing (M, 8k)
So very atmospheric and a fascinating depiction of ritual magic and Voldemort as an actual god! AUs are a really great way to explore what makes the core of a character — that even if it's the characters thrust in different circumstances, you can still tell who they are at their core, and this fic does a fantastic job of reimagining Harry and Voldemort meeting under different circumstances.
Something New by @itsevanffs (E, 2k)
A fresh (and super hot!) take on A/B/O dynamics, featuring both Alpha Harry and Alpha Tom, with both of them overriding their natural instincts in different ways in order to be with each other. The control, the restraint, the desperation, the taboo-ness of what they're doing within their society — all amazing elements that have made this into one of my favorite A/B/O dynamics that I've read. Alpha/Alpha is so underrated! (Also, not a tag that can be filtered yet on AO3, for some reason).
such a heavenly way to die by driftingsea (M, 7k)
This was SO clever and funny, and an amazing play on Harry being MoD. I don't want to give too much away, but let's just say this fic perfectly captures how murder is the ultimate Tomarry love language.
take this kiss (upon the brow) by @audair (T, 2k)
Incredibly beautiful and poetic prose. The mysterious backstory behind the Tomarry established relationship had me on the edge of my seat. This is one I'll reread over and over again for the haunting and atmospheric prose.
The gift by @metalomagnetic (E, 1.6k)
The perfect follow-up to 'Either must die' told from Voldemort's POV — surprisingly sweet and, not surprisingly, very sexy. As always, Metalo's fics pack a huge emotional punch; this one accomplishes it in just 1600 words — every single sentence is emotionally significant and not a single word is wasted - a must-read if you've read EMD.
the monster you (don't) see by Lils_White (E, 2k)
Harry pining for Voldemort after the war. A lovely, haunting, perfect depiction of dream sex, where you've left wondering what is a dream and what is real.
The Ties That Bind by @mosiva (E, 8k)
Mosiva writes an amazing Harry and Tom dynamic, as well as consistently delivers on great smut, and Tom here is a gem. This fic showcases Tom at his manipulative (sexiest) best, and the progression of Harry growing more drawn to Tom feels very natural and unrushed. Also, did I mention how hot the smut is? The author has other chaptered works that are worth checking out as well, if you like this dynamic!
The Train Station at Forever by @vdoshu (T, 1k)
This is one of the most deeply emotional takes I've seen on the endless reincarnation cycles theme (usually due to Harry being MoD and Voldemort being tied to Harry's soul). In just 1000 words, Doshu does an amazing job of capturing the angst and torment of Harry and Tom achieving "immortality" in this manner, and left me in shivers.
We Still Have Time by @duplicitywrites (T, 9k)
This was SO BEAUTIFUL and SO SAD, an incredible depiction of holding onto someone you love even after death, and I can't even think about this fic without wanting to weep. One of the most heartwrenching things I've read in all of fanfic, in all of my years reading fanfic. I very rarely cry reading fics, and god, I cry every time I've reread this fic. This is duplicity angst at its finest.
Wrath of the Lamb by @penmanner (M, 6k)
One of the most unique takes I've seen on Harry time-traveling to Tom's time in the 1940s. Something goes wrong, and Harry has amnesia but still a sense of purpose. The author's writing is gorgeous and poetic and does an amazing job of illustrating how disorienting Harry's experience is. I absolutely LOVE the amnesia trope, and this fic does it amazing justice.
you, me, a room we made by @kkeikatt (E, 9k)
This PWP was a delight to read. Voldemort and Harry trapped in a room together and the best option is to fuck each other? YES. Sign me up. The smut is extended and memorable and oh so glorious.

HI LUMI 7,8 and 22 for Obi-Wan and Ahsoka If it's not too much? I hope you're well 🫶
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like? Obi-Wan Kenobi - There are actually a lot of things I like that fandom does when it comes to Obi-Wan (so many great time travel fics, so many fics that explore the balance he has between being a troll versus genuinely caring about and helping people, so many fics that explore his love for the Jedi), but I think my favorite thing is that the majority of fandom seems like it went, "Yeah, Anakin Skywalker is the central character of that guy's life." Whatever tone that takes, it's one of my favorite things about Obi-Wan Kenobi as a person, that he chose to dedicate his life to Anakin and no one meant more to him than Anakin, to the point that he couldn't see the truth depths of Anakin's fault lines, that he had to literally see Anakin murdering children to believe it, that even when he let Anakin go, he never was willing to turn his back on Anakin. Even when he knew it would mean his death, he left the choice in Anakin's hands, because that guy was so fundamental to who Obi-Wan Kenobi was. Fandom often explores that through a myriad of ways, whether funny banter when they were younger, heartbreaking fic as Obi-Wan has to try to process all the feelings while on Tatooine, sweet reunion fic when Obi-Wan helps him over to the other side in the Force, or alternate universes where things went better. Anakin is foundational to Obi-Wan's arc as a character and I love that so much of fandom reflects that, in such a myriad of creative ways! Ahsoka Tano - I love that fandom has embraced that Ahsoka is often a disaster, that too often she gets put up on a pedestal of perfection to the point that it erases her actual personality. But when I come into our corner of fandom, we're all shrieking in delight when she does something dumb because it makes us love her more, it highlights that sometimes she makes amazing decisions, that she's a compassionate and wonderful person, but that she can also be hypocritical at times, that she takes decades to get over Anakin's betrayal, that she can have complicated feelings about the Jedi, but that ultimately she loved them and she would have gone home to them, that she is allowed the space to be a complicated, fascinating, interesting character. 8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise? Obi-Wan Kenobi - Answered here. Ahsoka Tano - I dislike it when some in fandom don't actually seem to care about Ahsoka as a character and what she is actually like and just use her as a weapon to bash on the Jedi. Like, I can't and won't stop anyone if they disagree with my interpretation, there's room for us all, but I really dislike it when she's used for what feels like mean-spirited beating on characters that never actually did half of the stuff fandom accuses them of. It's a disservice to her character just as much to cut out her warmer feelings, to use her as a mouthpiece rather than focus on who she is and what she believes. I dislike it when fandom makes her perfect at the expense of other characters, like I am ALL FOR Ahsoka being amazing and incredible, let female characters be amazing and incredible!!!, but if it can only be done by making everyone around her terrible, then I'm not sure that actually says anything about how good she actually is. I also really dislike it when fandom thinks that Ahsoka could have saved Anakin on Mustafar, because the whole point was that Obi-Wan and Padme couldn't do it and they really were trying, the whole point is that Anakin was choosing this, he was choosing to become Vader, and to say that Ahsoka could have saved him at a time when the entire story was that no one could, it breaks her character and the narrative, like let her be amazing on her own terms and in her own way, let her story be her story, rather than subsuming her into Anakin's story! (This is why that episode of Ahsoka worked so well for me, because he became part of her story, rather than the other way around and it worked so well there.)
22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like? Obi-Wan Kenobi - I like it when authors can balance that Anakin is the central figure of Obi-Wan's life, but that he is allowed to have his own reactions about what Anakin has done. He's allowed the space to be angry, to need distance for awhile, to need to work through his feelings about Anakin's betrayal of everything they stood for and his friendship with Obi-Wan, that Obi-Wan doesn't need to put aside his own feelings immediately to go support Anakin. Ultimately, Anakin is someone that Obi-Wan will always want to support, but I think he should be given space to sometimes struggle with getting there because, you know, baby murder is a hell of a thing to swallow down without chewing on it first! Ahsoka Tano - I love when fic explores Ahsoka's relationships with other characters WITHOUT the expense of how Anakin is the central figure in her bigger story. I sometimes feel like Anakin is the only person she's ever allowed to interact with, when TCW went out of its way to show her having important relationships with Obi-Wan and Plo and Yoda and Luminara and Asajj and Rex and more. So I love it when fic can explore those other relationships, too, because it makes her connection with Anakin feel so much more interesting, that she has this huge collection of people she's connected with and he still is the one that is most firmly lodged in her heart! Also, my kingdom for more Ahsoka & Mace interaction fic where there's debris between them, but they clearly care about each other and are both deeply good people and are connected through the Force together.

I'm fairly new to Klaroline. There are so many incredible looking fics, it's hard to know where to start. What would you rec as the absolute must-read fics in the fandom? Any length, any rating. Thanks!
Welcome to our crazy little corner of the internet! We are definitely blessed with a lot of amazing fics, so I'll summarise my absolute favourites for you!
These are all on ao3, so please make sure you check the tags/ warnings before reading because I'm not sure what you're comfortable with. You'll also need an account on ao3 to read some of these if you don't already have one.
You may have already seen me raving about make them bow, which is absolutely amazing.
Other than that, we have:
Everything, Everything by Anyaparadox
Caroline and Klaus wake up human in another reality due to a spell. Oh, and they're married, which is absolutely the worst, until it isn't.
This fic was beautifully domestic, and the bitter-sweet ending has me in tears every time I read it. This is 100% one of my favourite fics EVER and I would go as far as to say it's the fic on this list I most highly recommend.
Words: 68, 491
Colored You In by @lalainajanes
AH-AU. Kol's broke (he scammed his trust executor, but don't ask, okay?). Elijah's playing the tough love card, Rebekah has no room (and Kol doesn't want to overhear his little sister having sex, thank you). And Klaus? Klaus will murder Kol inside a week if they're forced to live together. Caroline had a spare bedroom (now that Stefan's moved in with Rebekah) and Rebekah knows Caroline's weaknesses. A pair of Louboutin's and two days later Kol's moving in. It might be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Or possible the making of two mortal enemies. Time will tell. But suddenly Klaus is always around. Planted on her couch, offering snarky commentary, eating their food. Seriously, who invited him?
I'm not the hugest fan of AH AU's but this would have to be one of my favourites. It's hilarious and showcases relationships between all of the characters. (Especially Kol and Caroline, which you've gotta love)
Words: 85, 440
Someone That'll Look Like You by @cupcakemolotov
When Caroline Forbes finds herself barreling down the highway with no real memory other than her name, her only clue is the dead body in her backseat. To complicate matters, she's pretty sure that body isn't human. And neither is she.
This fic is super sweet with a healthy dose of Carenzo friendship for good measure.
Words: 23, 214
Sweet Present of the Present by VintageLilac
Time was a human constraint, and Caroline was immortal. Klaus had told her to explore humanity, to do all the thing she wanted in life, and he also told her it wouldn't be enough. She hated that he was right. And so when Rebekah Mikaelson showed up on her doorstep, asking her to take Klaus' daughter, Caroline said yes. -- In which Caroline raises Hope while New Orleans is at war.
Although this fic is absolutely fantastic, you should probably note that it's still ongoing (we're at 21/25 chapters right now) so if you only like to read completed fics you'll want to hold off a bit longer on that one. The author is still updating though so I don't think you need to worry about it being abandoned.
Words: 133, 068 (as of right now)
This is a Harvest by but_seriously
“Ask me to choose you, Caroline,” Klaus continues heatedly, “go ahead, and I will, with everything that I have. But in return, you’re going to have to do the one thing you’ve been fighting since the night I sat on your bedside and fed you my blood. You’re going to have to choose me back. It’s only fair,” and he spits these last words out.
I haven't read this one in a while but I remember really enjoying it so I've added it in. Really, I would suggest taking a look at everything by this author.
Words: 20, 104
I hope this list helps you find something you enjoy. There are so many talented writers out there and a bunch of them just happen to churn out the most amazing stuff for us to read!

Nothing lasts forever
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: the heartbreaking reunion of the doctor and charlotte forces them to face buried feelings, but her duty on earth could keep them apart forever despite their timeless love that transcends worlds.
couple: charlotte barlowe (OC) x the tenth doctor
fandom: doctor who
warnings: none
It was a typical day in London when the Doctor ran into trouble. He was scanning for anomalies with his sonic screwdriver when it started beeping frantically, indicating something very not good was happening just down the street. "Ah, what have we got here then?" he said to himself, rushing off to investigate.
Around the corner, a strange creature was towering over people, letting out an unearthly screech. The bystanders screamed and ran away in fear. The Doctor peered at the monster - it was unlike anything in his databanks. Orange and spiky, with six legs and a gaping maw full of razor-sharp teeth. Definitely not from around here.
He darted forward, sonic at the ready. "Leave these people alone!" he yelled. The creature turned with a roar, angling its body toward the new threat. The Doctor grinned with excitement at the challenge. This was going to be fun.
He was just about to sonic it when suddenly, out of nowhere, a posh blonde woman ran right in front of him, nearly causing him to crash into her. "Watch where you're going!" she snapped.
"Get into the TARDIS, it's not safe!" the Doctor urged Charlotte, grabbing her hand. But she wrenched it away.
"Do you have any idea what you've done to my outfit? This silk was imported from Paris. And look at my hair!" Charlotte fussed, unaware of the danger mere feet away.
The Doctor gaped in disbelief. "There's an alien attacking, and you're on about your hair? Come on, inside, now!" He tugged her toward the TARDIS.
"Unhand me at once!" Charlotte glared at the stranger. She took in his disheveled appearance with disdain. "And just who are you supposed to be?"
"I'm the Doctor," he replied impatiently. "Now will you please get in the box before that thing eats you?"
He gestured to the creature, which was starting to notice them again. Charlotte followed his gaze and gasped. "Good lord, what is that monstrosity?"
"I don't know yet, but I intend to find out. Into the TARDIS, it's a ship, just trust me!" He pulled open the door.
Charlotte peered inside, stunned by the massive interior. But she held her ground. "Not until you tell me what's happening. I demand an explanation."
The Doctor ran a hand through his hair in frustration. The creature took a lurching step toward them. "Fine! That's an alien, I'm a Time Lord, this is my ship, and if we don't leave right now we'll become its lunch. Now please!"
Charlotte hesitated only a moment more before hurrying inside. The Doctor slammed the door, engaging the locks. "That's better. Hold onto something, it could get bumpy!"
He raced to the console, punching buttons. The TARDIS shook as it dematerialized. Charlotte grabbed a coral strut, eyes wide. "You...you can travel in time and space?" she breathed.
The Doctor grinned. "Welcome to the TARDIS, Charlotte. The whole of creation is ours to explore."
Charlotte couldn't believe this strange man called the Doctor was actually telling the truth. Yet here she was inside his incredible ship. As he flew them away from danger, she found her courage.
"Take me back," she said firmly.
The Doctor frowned. "I'm not risking you against that creature."
"I can distract it while you do...whatever it is you do." Charlotte met his gaze steadily. "I want to help."
He hesitated, then sighed. "Very well. But you do exactly as I say!" The TARDIS landed with a thump.
The Doctor opened the door a crack, peering out. "Coast is clear. When I say run, make as much noise as possible to draw it away. I'll be sonicing its brains out."
Charlotte nodded, steeling herself. The Doctor grinned. "Now!"
She took a deep breath and screamed at the top of her lungs, running pell-mell down the street. The creature roared, spotting her immediately. It gave chase.
Charlotte chanced a look back - it was gaining fast on her high heels. Where was the Doctor? Up ahead she saw an open manhole - she dived into the sewers just as sharp claws slashed the air above.
In the darkness, she heard an unearthly wail, then silence. Light flooded the tunnel as the Doctor removed the manhole cover. "All done! You were fantastic. Bravest human I ever met." He grinned, offering a hand. "Fancy another trip?"
Despite being out of breath and covered in muck from the sewers, Charlotte couldn't help but grin back at the Doctor. "That was...invigorating!" she admitted. "Though I think I'll skip the sewers next time."
The Doctor chuckled as he helped her climb out. "Wise choice. Now, how about we get you cleaned up? The TARDIS has hundreds of bathrooms." He led her inside the massive blue box.
As Charlotte explored the wonders within, she began to understand this wasn't just some parlor trick. This Doctor and his ship were truly something beyond her comprehension. And the idea of seeing even more of the universe was intoxicating.
After a refreshing sonic shower (she didn't even want to know how that worked), Charlotte met the Doctor in the console room, dressed in a spare outfit the TARDIS provided.
"So where shall we go next?" he asked eagerly. "An ancient civilization? A future colony? A planet made of diamonds?"
Charlotte hesitated. As exhilarating as this all was, could she really give up her life? But when she looked into the Doctor's smiling face, full of enthusiasm and hope, she knew she had to try.
"Show me something amazing, Doctor," she said. He punched coordinates and off they flew once more into the unknown. Wherever the TARDIS took them, Charlotte knew her world would never be the same.
The TARDIS landed with a jolt, and the Doctor threw open the doors. "Ancient Egypt, 30 BCE!" he announced.
Charlotte gasped at the sight before her. Massive pyramids towered against the orange sky. People in colorful linens walked the dusty streets, palm trees swaying in the breeze.
"It's just like I dreamed!" she breathed. The Doctor beamed, delighted by her reaction.
They spent the day exploring the bustling cities and temples filled with hieroglyphs. Charlotte showed a surprising depth of knowledge as she rattled off facts about artistic styles and pharaoh lineages. The Doctor was impressed.
"Not just a pretty face, hm?" he teased as the sun started to set.
Charlotte blushed. "Father insisted I have a well-rounded education. I never thought it would lead me here, though."
They watched the sun dip below the pyramids, bathing the land in golden light. The Doctor turned to Charlotte, suddenly serious.
"You belong among the stars....Travel with me?"
She hesitated. As thrilling as it was, could she leave her whole life behind for such uncertainty and danger?
"I'm afraid that path isn't for me," she said gently. "But I'll never forget our adventures together, Doctor. Thank you for opening my eyes to wonders I never dreamed of."
The Doctor nodded understandingly, though he felt a pang of disappointment. Still, her smile made the day worth it.
A sad mood fell over them as the TARDIS faded into view on the Cairo horizon. The Doctor and Charlotte walked slowly back to her, savoring their last moments together.
"I'll miss having you aboard," the Doctor said softly. "You fit into the universe so well."
Charlotte looked at him with regretful eyes. "Part of me wishes I could stay. But my place is elsewhere." She squeezed his hand. "Thank you, my friend, for everything. I'll carry the memories of our travel forever."
They stopped before the TARDIS doors. Suddenly the Doctor pulled Charlotte into a hug, resting his chin on her head. "If ever you change your mind, the TARDIS will be here," he murmured.
Charlotte hugged him tightly, fighting back tears. Then she stepped back, offering a brave smile. "Goodbye, Doctor. Go save the universe."
He returned her smile sadly. "Farewell, Charlotte. You've made this lonely old heart lighter."
With one last lingering look, she turned and walked away down the street, soon disappearing into the dusk. The Doctor watched her go, loath to leave but knowing he had to respect her choice.
He patted the TARDIS console. "Onwards, my friend. The stars won't wait." With a heavy sigh, he pulled the lever, locking the door on this chapter.
A few years later, when the Doctor had to come back to Charlotte's time since another issue appeared, he, one day, saw Charlotte sitting in a cafe, talking to her current boyfriend and laughing. She looked a bit older but catched everyone's attention nonetheless, natural light blonde hair, naturally wavy, captivating light blue eyes, and a touch of freckles, turned heads effortlessly.
As the Doctor passed by Charlotte, he stopped for a minute and his eyes became wide. He knew that it must've been her, given how similar she looked to the woman he met in the past. She still had the same natural light blonde hair, wavy and captivating, as well as blue eyes and a few freckles that made her look even more beautiful. He wanted to approach her, as well as make sure that he was correct in assuming that this was Charlotte, but he didn't want to interrupt her conversation with her new boyfriend.
Charlotte looked outside for a moment and froze, stopping her conversation as she noticed the Doctor outside, on the other side of the road, her smile faded immediately as she didn't expect to see him at all. The Doctor noticed how Charlotte's expression suddenly changed and was able to tell that she had recognized him quickly and was surprised by his appearance. He remained still and waited to see if she would approach him, as he didn't want to interrupt their moment and make her feel uncomfortable.
At the same time, he hoped that Charlotte would come towards him, as he wanted to speak with her again and maybe even reconnect with her once more. Charlotte shook her head and cleared her throat going back to her conversation, pretending like she didn't see him, but nonetheless, she seemed a bit nervous. The Doctor was a bit disappointed by the fact that Charlotte seemed to ignore his presence and didn't approach him, given that he was very eager for them to speak again after all of these years and was hoping for a reunion between them. He understood that the situation might be a bit delicate for her, so he simply stayed there for a few more moments, in case she changed her mind and went to speak with him.
Charlotte and her boyfriend stood up and walked out of the cafe, her boyfriend offered her a ride but she refused kindly and said that she'd walk home. The two exchanged a soft yet passionate kiss before parting ways. The Doctor was surprised by the sudden change of events, as she now refused the offer to go home with her boyfriend and wanted to walk instead. The Doctor thought there was an opportunity for him to go and try to talk to Charlotte again. So, he followed her from the distance and tried to catch her attention.
"Charlotte?" he called her name, quietly, as he walked closer to her.
At the sound of that familiar voice, Charlotte froze. Slowly, she turned to face the Doctor, eyes wide.
"It's...it's really you," she breathed. He strode towards her with that signature grin, but she could see the question in his eyes - had seeing him upset her?
Charlotte glanced behind her, as if part of her wanted to continue walking away from this moment she hadn't expected. But something drew her feet toward him instead.
"What are you doing here?" she asked softly. Her mind was in turmoil - happiness at being reunited with her dear friend, sadness at everything left unsaid between them long ago.
The Doctor stuffed his hands in his pockets, rocking on his heels. "Just saving planets, you know how it is. Wasn't expecting to run into you though! Looks like you've been doing well."
His gaze flickered to her lips, still flushed from her lover's kiss. Charlotte looked away, swallowing. When she met the Doctor's eyes again, she said gently, "It's...complicated. A lot has changed."
A sadness echoed in his ancient eyes. "I know. But I'm glad I got to see you again. You look as radiant as ever."
Charlotte blushed, heart swelling at the familiar tender tone she'd never forgotten. Then she sighed. "What am I doing? I really must be going."
Yet she made no move to leave his side. The Doctor watched her, hopeful. "Fancy a trip in the TARDIS? Just for old times' sake. I promise to get you back in no time."
Charlotte hesitated, longing and reluctance warring within. How many times had she dreamed of this moment, of seeing the Doctor again? But so much was at stake now.
"I don't know..." she said, though she made no move to leave. A familiar curiosity glinted in her eyes.
The Doctor grinned, sensing an opening. "Come on, just one little trip. No danger, I swear. Unless you count the Lorini Falls on Nexia - most spectacular sunset in the cosmos. I'll have you back before tea."
She tried to maintain a stern face, but it broke into a reluctant smile. How could she resist that boyish enthusiasm, or the siren call of adventure? Her life had become so ordinary of late.
"One trip," she conceded with a sigh. The Doctor pumped his fist in triumph.
Her heart raced as they strode to the familiar blue box. Inside was as amazing as ever. As the engines powered up, Charlotte breathed deep to steady herself. One moment of madness couldn't hurt...could it?
The Doctor beamed. "Hold on tight! Next stop, Nexia." Adventure was calling them both once more. Charlotte clutched the console, excitement and trepidation coursing through her veins. She was home.
The TARDIS landed with its usual jolt, causing Charlotte to stumble into the Doctor. He caught her arms with a smile.
"Steady there. Welcome to Nexia!" He bounded to the door. "After you."
Charlotte stepped outside and gasped. They were atop a shimmering purple cliff overlooking an ocean bluer than any on Earth. As the twin suns dipped low, the water glowed with iridescent hues.
"It's breathtaking," she said in awe. The Doctor beamed, thrilled by her delight.
They sat together, legs dangling over the edge, as the suns sank below the horizon in a brilliant show of color. For a while, only comfortable silence passed between them.
Then Charlotte spoke quietly. "It's easy to forget life's realities here. But I have responsibilities now."
The Doctor took her hand gently. "I remember the cares you left behind to choose this. And I understand if your path has changed. But know that a place will always remain for you here, should you want it."
She leaned her head against his shoulder. More than ever, she wished things could be simple. But her head and heart were conflicted.
As the first stars emerged, the Doctor smiled softly. "No need to decide tonight. One more heavenly sunset won't hurt. The present is a gift..."
Charlotte returned his smile, resolving to live fully in this moment of peace. Tomorrow would come soon enough to face reality again. For now, adventure called, and with the Doctor, answers would keep.
Still, the Doctor felt a bit sad because he thought they could reconnect again. That's why he asked, in a serious tone.
"Is there anything I can do to change your mind?" he replied, while waiting for her answer, as he was slightly hopeful.
Charlotte heard the note of hope and sadness in his voice, and it tugged at her heart. She turned to meet his earnest gaze, seeing the longing there as plainly as he must see the conflict in her eyes.
For a moment she allowed herself to dream - of abandoning convention, of traveling the stars in the TARDIS with him forever. But reality was not so simple. With a sigh, she replied gently:
"You know I care for you dearly, my friend. These memories we share will stay with me always. But I have another life now, responsibilities I cannot walk away from. No matter how far my spirit longs to roam free as it once did."
She took his hand. "You must let me go, as I must. Our time together was a gift; I will cherish it forever. Please, don't make this parting harder than it must be."
Beneath her words lurked deeper feelings, left unsaid. They shone in her eyes as clearly as the galaxy rose behind her. Her heart was torn, but her choice was made. All he could do was accept it, as she must accept his nature in turn.
Charlotte smiled softly as a few tears sparkled in her eyes. "You, Doctor, were the most wonderful experience of my life. I will cherish our adventures together forever."
The Doctor gazed at her sorrowfully. "And you were everything. Your brief time on board meant more to me than you'll ever know."
He had seen so many planets, met countless people over centuries of traveling. But with Charlotte it had been different - she had made such a profound impact on him in that short time. Her wit, courage and spirit had reignited something in his soul that he thought long gone.
"I'm used to companions coming and going," he continued. "But losing you - knowing I won't be part of your life again - that's the hardest thing. Please know that despite the years I'll live on, your memory will stay with me, keeping me smiling through even my darkest of days."
Charlotte froze at his heartfelt words, her breath catching in her throat. Slowly, hesitantly, she asked the question that's been haunting her ever since their reunion, "Doctor...were you in love with me this whole time?"
The Doctor met her gaze, unflinching in his sincerity. There was no use denying it anymore. "Yes," he said simply. "From the moment I saw your true self in the Ancient Egypt, inquisitive yet brave, you stole a part of my hearts that I never thought I could love again. Being with you was the greatest of gifts."
He reached out to gently cup her cheek. "I understand if that changes things. My feelings don't diminish or excuse the choice that is yours alone to make. All I can do is lay my heart bare, as you so deserve after gracing me with your light in my lonely life."
A sad smile crossed his lips. "I vow no matter your reply, our friendship will remain. And should you ever need me, for any reason, the TARDIS doors will open as they always have."
The TARDIS landed outside Charlotte's home with its familiar groan. She turned to the Doctor with eyes filled with tears, now freely falling down her cheeks.
"I never wanted to hurt you, my dear friend," she said softly. "Knowing your heart now only makes this harder."
The Doctor brushed away her tears with a gentle thumb. "Do not fret for me. I lived many years alone and will continue thus, if that is your desire. All that matters is your happiness."
She leaned into his caress, closing her eyes. There were so many things left unsaid between them. But she had made her choice, for better or worse, and could not go back now.
Taking a shaky breath, Charlotte stepped back. "Farewell, Doctor. Wherever the universe may lead you, carry a piece of my heart with you, as you'll always have a place in mine."
He nodded, smiling tenderly through his own sorrow. "Until the stars go dark, Charlotte. You splendid, remarkable girl - go and live your life to the fullest. I love you."
One last lingering touch of her fingers to his cheek, then she turned and walked away through the TARDIS doors without looking back. The Doctor watched her go, hearts fit to break, before reluctantly piloting away into the vortex once more. Though apart, their bond would endure across time itself.
well, hopefully you liked it! I'm still new to the doctor who fandom, so I hope I could portay the doctor correctly 🚶🏻‍♂️

HI, Luce! Can I be sappy for a moment? I just wanted to thank you a lot for making the discord server and your AU in general! It was already fun getting into the DA fandom, but getting into the server has been a whole other level of fun! I often wake up and really want to check it immediately in the morning to see what has happened while I was asleep. I almost didn't join at first because I am shy, though I'm glad I decided to do it anyways (training myself to get over social anxiety by interacting more, can't even tell you the amount of times I force myself to hit send XD) because it's always a great time all around! I've met some very nice people through it and even if it hasn't been open that long it really just became a nice kind of familiar very quickly <3 Your AU and all it's variations are so incredibly fun to discuss and provides so much inspiration and blorbo thoughts that accompany me throughout the day! I'm just so very glad we coincided in the same corner of this very vast internet! I'm sending you a giant hug and all the good vibes for your day <3
After trials and tribulations (got distracted) I finally got to this ask!
What makes is funnier is that I had to draft this and go work because obviously I didn't get further. NOW however <3
You may be sappy just know that I keep melting at this ask aaa
And I'm so happy you joined too!! And I'm glad (and proud - because man social anxiety is a bitch) that you're being brave and interact!! I'd miss you if you didn't!!
Now I'm gonna be sappy, be warned
Because, well, yeah! I love the server!! Initially I wasn't too sure about the idea, thought I'm getting ahead of myself, that there isn't actually that kind of interest - but I'm glad I asked friends in dms and also that one post on here and then made it happen, because it's just so so nice!
I'm a very chatty person by nature (when I'm comfortable), and I just. I love that I can just blurt out a thought and then y'all jump on it and make it better, enable me to make more, and make your own!! All while there's not this pressure for it all to be fully fleshed out already. It's more a dialogue, a development, and sparking so so many of the things that do make it on here also!
I'm of course not trying to make the server like, a dlc to tumblr content or anything, I don't mention it on here to tease anyone who isn't in it, I'm just a lot more comfortable chatting on there and I love the server! It feels like a, well, a cozy little cove! Everyone is nice and it's a fun place to show off anything new in life, blorbo related or not, or hanging in vc - I've actually done streams! With me doing art in my mornings there's just not that many people who could join in the first place, but in the server it's a nice little opt in option that allows for chatting on the side! I'm a little self conscious still about my art process but it's just so so neat to have people react immediately to what I'm cooking up? Like with the CS comic yesterday hehehe, telling/ later showing the twist as I'm sketching it? Hearing the reactions out loud? Definitely worth it!
And it's just. A comfortable little corner, doesn't feel too public, and even on the lurkier days it's just really cool to see the chaos and people sniping each other, it's a little community and I love it! I love seeing the little spontaneous doodles and the agentsona thoughts that wouldn't make it on tumblr simply from the way this site is set up, it's just chatting and I love it very very much. It's really really reassuring for me too because of that, it's direct interaction and wanted direct interaction from both sides! Because yeah, social anxiety (and also rejection sensitivity) is a bitch sometimes and tumblr is still a blogging website, not a chat website! (tumblr DMs are my mortal enemy, and not just because of the weird ones I got before)
So tldr; I'm also very very happy that we found ourselves overlapping spaces in the world wide web, because I am so happy to be here with you!
Also, you've been shown as online the entire time, I do hope you slept well despite whatever your phone is doing FHDJS

I don't have a question, but you should know how much you increase my enjoyment in the TUA fandom. I was a casual fan before, but your writing (along with a few other stellar content creators) really explores everything I found interesting about the characters and the plot, that now it's turned into one of my favorite series. Every time I hear your opinions I agree wholeheartedly, and I'm thrilled that you're around to voice them.
If it were up to me, they'd be consulting you for S4. I love the idea of Abigail being evil. (And I am with you in my very strong dislike of any version of 'Five is forced into school', you are so not alone.)
As a fan of the show, I've had so much more enjoyment from fanworks that takes the potential the series hasn't fully explored and runs with it. We're all so lucky to have you around and I hope you stay inspired long after the show ends.
Oh, thank you! Too kind! I'm glad my overinvestment and overthinking about this show for two years brings others enjoyment, too :) And, listen, hey - if they wanted to call me, just, a few little pointers for S4, I mean...
This really is a great fandom, at least the corner I hang out in. Such incredible minds, talented people. I'm lucky to have fallen into it, because you're absolutely right - creators really have only enhanced my enjoyment of the show. Helped me fall in love with it and made me want to contribute and give back to the community in a way I've never done before. It's a fun, fun time.
But for real, thank you. <3 It's been wild that I've been at this fic game for two years now, and I'm hoping it doesn't slow down anytime soon. I'll probably be here for a while yet :)

first thing! I love self inserts especially in house of wax fandom. They're always amazing, and i remember someone saying there was gonna be a 4th sibling, a sister, but the idea got scrapped. So the second dream, i would personally love to see drawn by you. Maybe a 4 panel thing, starting with, you and the twins getting cornered.
Though for curiosities sake, In your dream, Was it the younger versions or present day version of the brothers? Cause the thought of a teenaged lester, barely tall enough to see over the dash, driving a trunk. Wind up accidently killing two people while his 3 siblings cheer him on for a job well done, with him in a stunned silence, Is morbidly funny to me. Cause he's so nice and sweet and just wanted to protect the 3 of you, but couldn't see where he was going and just wanted to scare the two guys. Idk.
If present day. It would raise some questions of 3 on 2 so why would yall be running unless you were injured. Or setting lester up for that car take down which is also funny to me
If you do or don't end up making illustrates of your dreams, i still liked reading about them. Your incredibly creative, and even your dreams have a compelling narrative that you easily explore 👍💞 good luck with it, friend
Oh gosh, you're the sweetest! Thank you so much, dear!!! 😭💕
I sometimes have the chance to lucid dream, so I am able to remember really small details about it! It's both good and bad because good: you can remember fun dreams easily and bad: you can vividly remember nightmares. A double-edged sword. Was lucky it had a good ending 😂
For the sister thing, had no idea! That would have been so damn interesting if they implemented a sister in the mix! Damn... 😯
Tumblr media
And your brain is so huge anon! That would be so messed up but hilarious. I can just picture a teen Lester, in the car after doing that, shaken up and pale, poor Les 😭
Vincent giving him a thumbs up, Bo cheering "Hell yeah, Les! Good job!" And me screaming because of it and the shock. One of us, one of us! 😭😂 Maybe that's when they were still young adults and started with the killings!? 🤔🤯
But it was with the present Sinclairs. I have no idea, dream logic and probably adrenaline. Even if you get stabbed, once the survival instincts hit, you're doing anything to survive and ignoring the pain.
But what I do know is that everyone was caught by surprise and the men forced us to separate and pushed us towards the wooded area outside of Ambrose. At least I was alone in the woods while I was trying to avoid getting offed. I managed to swerve the man and run back to Ambrose where I saw both Vince and Bo being held at gunpoint by the other man. We were then backed to a wall, waiting for us to be shot and then honking was heard and Lester appeared with the truck, ran them over, popped his head out and was like "I reckon y'all needed some help" with a big grin on his face.
They weren't expecting the third brother, that's for sure. Just like the police at the end of the movie 😂😂😂
Bo was angry and yelling at Lester because why didn't he appear sooner if he knew we were in trouble. It ended with me stumbling down to sit on the ground because of the chase and then I woke up 😭

We're here? 500 followers? We did this? I'm not dreaming? Feels weird, fam! First things first, I'd like to thank @gasolinerainbowpuddles for the GORGEOUS and heart-breakingly-sweet gif she made for me to celebrate this milestone. You are incredible and amazing and you rock my world. And second, I'd like to thank all of you! I've been in fandom for a few years now, but this is the first time I've really found a community I love being a part of. From every reblog, comment, and anon, every day I'm so grateful to be a part of the ppcu, and that you, at some point, clicked that little follow button. The new year is just around the corner and I can't wait to see what you and your devilishly brilliant minds will create!
Now, on to the games! 🎮👻
Tumblr media
Per your request, we're celebrating with a Choose Your Own Adventure fic! Starting next Wednesday, I'll be posting one poll a day where you will be able to vote on:
the Pedro boy I'll focus on
the type of pairing of the fic (i.e friends to lovers, exes, forbidden love, etc)
what trope the fic will be the guiding force of the fic (i.e sharing a bed, fake dating/marriage, etc)
what kink will be explored
the vibes of the fic (i.e hurt, comfort, humor)
the ending of the fic
At the end of the six weeks, I'll write a fic with all the top choices mixed into it. So, for example, we could have a comfort fic where Frankie is the love of your life but you worry it might be unrequited until you're snowed in a cabin and you find out all too late you have a raging hand kink when he holds yours to keep you warm -- but because it's a happy ending, everything works out okay!
This Choose Your Own Adventure fic comes from the idea of those old children's books where your choices affected the outcome, so get as wild as you want!
Tumblr media
👻🌟The first poll goes live Wednesday, December 6th at 7:30AM (GMT-6)🌟👻
Every poll will run for one week. I'll be updating this post with every poll so if you'd like to vote or see what won, you can check in here!
Poll #1: Pick a Pedro Boy [Ends Wednesday 13th] Poll #2: Pick the type of pairing [Ends Thursday 14th] Poll #3: Pick the trope [Ends Friday 15th] Poll #4: Pick the kink [Ends Saturday 16th] Poll #5: Pick the vibe [Ends Sunday 17th] Poll #6: Pick the ending [Ends Monday 18th]
Tumblr media
if you'd like clarification on any of the polls or have any questions, my ask box is wide open. if you'd just like to say hi and tell me all about your favorite Pedro boy, my ask box is wide open. if you'd like to know extremely personal and embarrassing facts about me, my ask box is wide open.
This is going to be the most engagement-dependent post I've ever made so I'm a little nervous! 😬 Being here has been some of the best fun I've had in a while and I'm so excited to see what comes next!

I have to say it's a relief to read your thoughts about boc,the casts, pond, apo and mile. In the fandom peoples tend to see things in black and white and if you don't think mile&apo are close you're a hater but that's not it. I have learn with years in fandoms and working behind the scenes of industry that's it isn't what happen on the screen ( interviews, events ) that matters but what happen bts. And what's happening is clear right now it's not being a hater it's just observation. One thing about all fandoms of kp is that NOBODY like pond ( he sucks so normal ) so I understand that it's hard to accept that your fav is in relationship with him, adore him and AGREE with him and what's he doing. Tho, it's better to accept than being in denial I think. The fandom really see apo as a victim of pond that doesn't deserve him when it's the opposite. It's like they're afraid of what that say about him if he indeed love pond/boc and is involved in projects bts. I noticed when B was talking about his 2023 serie with bb he turned to Apo for affirmation about it and apo talk about it like it was his project, like a director. If he isn't on screen for the news projects this year he'll be offscreen working with pond I have no doubt. Apo said it best in the comments of his ig he know what he's doing where he is going and with who. He knows everything before anyone, tbh I don't see him as a artist under boc to me he is at the top, same place as pond. And whatever he want he gets. He said this summer he wanted to work international and now boc has a international serie coming. They are a team. He has P by his side but he also the artist manager (gift) as best friend so he is happy and will have a lot of work no doubts. Now as you mentionned in the past, right now apo is in the high because relationship and work is new, it's exciting but if the relationships fail I'm afraid this is gonna be hell on every part. Hell because a fail relationship hurt but if it's fail and it's with bad feelings but forced to see the person everyday for work it can become a nightmare. I lived it and saw it from others. While I'm sad mile doesn't seem to have anyone in his corner in boc, he separate work from life and the advantage is that relationships drama should not find him. Even in friendships mile talk to everyone but he doesn't stick to anyone in particular so even friendships dramas should not be a things. This is by the way why mile would be a good ceo for boc. He doesn't have personal feelings ( bad or good ) involved for anyone and this is where pond sucks. He mix private feelings with his work and doesn't treat the artists the same. He has a too big ego he is petty he doesn't know when to back off, treat fans like shit, he simply isn't professional.
Hi Anon
Thanks for your thoughts. They're interesting to read :)
Pond has acted in random ways which I raise my eyebrows at, some quite unprofessional ways. But the cast seem to be happy with being part of boc with him at the helm. Theyve had an incredible year with the success of KP. I'm glad things are going well for Apo and Mile being part of that.
Like you say I'm pleased that Apo has found a home and good friendships there. I remember him having an expressed desire to work behind the scenes or in writing/directing and I think he has that opportunity to do that at BOC. So yes I think imo he could be in management there? Just my guess. Hes had 10 years experience in the acting industry so that would help too.
Like I said to the previous anon Apo has close friendships in boc and only he knows what he is to certain ones.
We're just here to witness great actors hopefully doing good works. I think we might find out later this month what's in store?
Thanks Anon :)

Tumblr media
this is gonna be a long ass answer so buckle on
first of all I have added your fics to my tbr (to be read) list so soon enough I will no worries
the link to the symbols is here, is a site that has all these cute ass symbols and I like using them, they're quite fun
- complimentary please..
you are very talkative, and friendly and warm to open up too, you don't seem to be concerned with fandom issues just vibes and fics and I really appreciate that in a person, you are a fun person and you're giving me incredible vibes that we could hang out together, also I really admire the fact you got a family and still write fics it makes me so happy you have no idea, now as for your writing I cannot believe how good you write angst, and not just the mild kind the gut-wrenching one I literally could never, your writing is good, like legit good, and you always always weave stories that are complete and full and full of life and details
- quotation cited please..
'Your eyes linger, you could stare at her beautiful frame for eternity. Evidently, you could have waited forever for a glance, a touch, something, anything that would validate your feelings. She takes your hand, holds it close to her, and squeezes it. All thoughts and feelings blur into one when you hear her next words.
"I love you too."' from my natasha fic, infatuation
- reading pleasure..
I feel like you literally know all the wanda nat fandom, who else could you be missing? so I'm giving you this hot natasha fic I recently read
- king questionaire
I use pinterest, pixabay and google to find the images then I use the app april to bring them together, it features layouts and some filters and those beautiful letters i use for my masterlists and they all come together like this, i just play around and try to stick to a color theme i think. usually i do have a vision before i start so i also try not to waste too much time scrolling and if i do i just force myself to switch ideas
and as for the fics I have no idea!!!!! I try to keep them short, I do try and usually succeed, I do have a lot of free time on my days off and I like having a schedule of doing things so I keep like an hour free for just writing and sometimes i succeed other times I don't (in writing something) now I also do stress writing where i in bus stops, streets corners or things alike i will force myself to sit down and write something as to not focus too much on the problem/thing that's out of control you know so it all contributes to my obsessive nature, if i decide that i need to finish something i will finish the fic, wrap it up somehow put a bow on it and conlude it, maybe they are not that good or could use more work but i am definetely done with them asokdjaksjdlka
thank you so much for your kind words and I'm glad I met you here :)

in a truly remarkable feat, if I do say so myself, I got this wolf into a pair of pants, just for @theonlywolfpants. they're a lovely pair of dungarees, access point for their tail and everything. alas, my photographer only captured the wolf's face. needless to say, I fired the photographer. the wolf is probably still out there, fashion icon of the woods. I think MM may be rotting my brain.
ANYWAYS, what can I say about wolf. they describe themself as a cheerful soft goth which I absolutely love. they're clever as hell- go read through their top posts some time- I was simultaneously chuckling and nodding my head along with them. for being a soft goth, I associate them with sunshine and shiny vibes- they're always super friendly and inclusive, participating in all the ask games and prompt challenges and just generally being a force for good in this little corner of the internet. they've only been writing in this fandom for about six months, and it's absolutely incredible what they've come up with in that time!!
random superlatives and recs:
Remus Raises Harry: Forever Live and Die // E // 83K // Wolfstar // such an amazing character study of Remus Lupin! I was captivated from the first word to the last - this was a brilliant canon divergence, and it was so good to see these three broken boys get a different story.
watch Draco come undone: Wilderness // E // 2K // Drarry // soft, soft, soft. hot, hot, hot.
[chanting] wolfstarbucks. wolfstarBUCKS! WOLFSTARBUCKS! Of Earth and Electric Storms // E // 5K // Wolfstarbucks (lol) // ok for all my cheering, this was actually such a quiet read. it's a slow embrace, james becoming enveloped by an established wolfstar with open arms and soft kisses. I melted.
probably my fav fic of this pairing: Seas Between Us // M // 7K // Remus/James // this is a wholly underrated rare pair, and wolf absolutely killed it. you feel James' ache down to your bones, and the inevitability of it all culminates in such a lovely, satisfying way.
WIP I can't wait to read: Pages of You // E // WIP // Drarry // tags I'm totally obsessed with: "Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter" "Established Remus Lupin/Sirius Black" "Bookshop Owner Sirius Black" "Gay bookshop" "Business Rivals" "Found Family" "Gay Pride" "Camping" "Sex Positivity" "Sexual Exploration" "Happy Ending" (also, it sounds like it needs "Epistolary" ie my absolute favorite tag of all time just saying) COME ON IT SOUNDS AMAZING
wolf! I'm so enjoying being in your orbit, and hope to get to know you better. I hope you're having a great day! 💚

Summary: You're pregnant with Obi-Wan Kenobi's child, and during a mission, you receive a fatal injury.
Tumblr media
(gif not mine!)
How did things go so wrong so quickly?
The mission was going great. It was a success practically. You'd seized control of the droid factory, and you'd done so without many casualties on your half. Your squadron worked incredibly well with Anakin's, and this mission only further supported that. Obi-Wan and his squadron had stayed outside, securing the perimeter as your squadrons secured the inside.
Two destroyers rolled out from behind a corner and quickly snapped up their shields, aiming directly at Anakin and Ahsoka. Without thinking, you quickly dove forward, using the force to shove Anakin and Ahsoka as far away as you could while unleashing your lightsaber with your free hand. A sharp, burning pain flooded through your abdomen as you landed, slashing through both the droids in one swing.
Multiple voices began calling out to you, each sounded as worried as the other, yet all you could focus on was the blaster hole in your armor. Blood was quickly staining your Jedi robes as your adrenaline vanished and your knees wobbled, pain taking over your senses. Anakin appeared in front of you, Ahsoka close by his side as you gripped his arms tightly, tears rising in your eyes as panic set in.
"Anakin... Ani, get Obi-Wan. Please, please, oh Maker--"
"I know, I know," Anakin tried soothing, "Ahsoka, get Obi-Wan, now!"
The young togruta girl immediately dashed off, leaving you to slump into Anakin's arms as multiple clones yelled around you. You clutched your stomach as your mind raced, worried about nothing but the baby inside of you, Obi-Wan's baby. While Anakin knew about your relationship with Obi-Wan, neither of you had told him about the baby, but you were sure he knew now.
Obi-Wan came dashing in, his world crumbling at the sight of you helpless in Anakin's arms, blood staining your robes. You cried once you saw him, your eyes revealing all the panic and pain you felt, breaking Obi-Wan's heart. Anakin lifted you and set you gentle in Obi-Wan's arms, mumbling to his Master about what had happened.
"Always being the hero... and to think I wondered where Anakin got it from," Obi-Wan whispered to you, trying his best to remain calm and also calm you down.
"Obi!" You cried, gripping the man's robes, "Obi-Wan, I'm so sorry, I'm so so sorry Obi. I put the baby at--"
"Shhh, shh," Obi-Wan gently quieted you, kissing your forehead and watching Anakin's face fall, "It's okay, my love, it's okay. I will get you to the infirmary, and everything will be sorted out."
Kix walked up and quickly injected bacta into your neck before handing Kenobi an additional. Obi-Wan quickly rushed to a shuttle after you'd calmed down. Refusing to let go of you, he kept you in his arms the entire ride home. The few short minutes felt like hours to you as you clutched onto your stomach. Even though you hadn't started showing yet and you'd only found out three weeks ago, you had become incredibly attached to your child and the idea of a life with Obi-Wan.
The wait for the ultrasound was even more stressful than the flight back. Medical droids stripped you of your Jedi armor and robes, working to tend the slightly wound you'd obtain and stop the bleeding. Obi-Wan remained by your side the entire time, much to the medical droid's annoyance. You knew you were both risking everything, and you both knew that the council had probably already heard of the medical droid's request for an ultrasound.
Gripping Obi-Wan's hand like a vise, you anxiously waited to hear your child's heartbeat, "It appears you've miscarried."
A sob left your lips as Obi-Wan pulled you into his chest, his own tears rising in his eyes. The droid left emotionlessly, sparing a glance down to the small figure waiting outside before moving on. Reluctantly, Obi-Wan allowed his tears to fall, mourning the terrible loss with you.
There wasn't a way to describe your pain. You hadn't been that far along, yet the loss was still gut-wrenching. Sobs filled the calm air as your heart contracted with pain, begging for the hurt to stop. Obi-Wan mocked your tight grip as his own heart yearned. He'd been thrilled when you'd told him of your pregnancy, thrilled at the idea of being a father, thrilled at the idea of a life with you.
Your cries calmed ever so slightly as you spoke, "I'm so sorry, Obi, I'm so sorry."
"Darling, it's okay. Don't blame yourself. You're okay that's more than I could ask for," Obi-Wan whispered, kissing your head, "This is a terrible loss indeed, but you're still alive, my love. Things could've gone much worse."
"Oh, Obi," You cried, looking up at him, "I promise we'll get through this. We can try again when we're ready."
"I know, darling, but first, you need to heal."
"I'm so sorry," You whimpered, "I should've been more careful."
Obi-Wan shook his head, kissing you softly, "Don't blame yourself."
You snuggled into Obi-Wan's side, allowing each other to adjust before sighing. Pain swirled around your two life forces, showing the heartbreak you shared. Knowing that you could get through this did nothing to ease the pain of losing your baby, and the only thing you could do was squeeze onto Obi-Wan, hoping that somehow the pain might subside slightly. You'd only just begun to start forming your life together and in a split second everything seemed to come crashing down on you... so quickly.

《 summary: when the reader does not reciprocate love for James Potter, he snaps into a complete delusional obsession with her. 》
○ part one: ○
-
James had fallen asleep holding you. You don't know how you managed to get away from him without him waking up, but you did. You ran harder than you'd ever ran before. Partly from fear, but partly because it felt good to feel your heart pound against your chest. It reminded you that you were still alive. You were almost back into the castle when you collapsed onto the stone ground, unable to move your legs any further. Your whole body felt like jello, similarly to your mind, which was in some distant land refusing to return to accept the events that had occurred. You were sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. You were so far gone, you didn't even feel Severus' arms when they wrapped themselves around you and picked you up. You buried your face into his chest as he carried you to the hospital wing.
-
James awoke in a panic, feeling you not in his arms. He looked around, realizing you were long gone. He should have gone to look for you, but he couldn't help but stop to smile at the thought of you. He could still taste you on his tongue, smell your perfume on his clothes, feel the shape of your lips against his, hear your soft moans. He got hard just thinking about the expression you had when he made you come.
"She loves me," he reminded himself.
He stood up, grabbing your bookbag from under the tree before confidently strolling back down to the castle. He made his way to his dormitory, setting your bag down and sitting on his bed. His mind continued to be overwhelmed with the thought of you. He reached into your bookbag, curiosity overcoming him. He pulled out random study books, stopping when he reached the potions one. He flipped it open, a note falling out of the front page. He opened it, seeing it was a note from Snape.
"I know you are upset you got a bad mark on the last quiz. The professor only gave you a bad mark because you're better than them. Seriously, (y/n), you are amazing at potions making. One day, you'll be working as the Potions Master and I'll be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts and we'll be able to give bad marks to all the kids we don't like. Keep your head up. - Severus"
James slammed the book shut and hastily put it back in your book bag. He was furious that someone would talk to his girl like this. He was furious that you would keep a note like this from someone like Snape. He crumpled the note, tossing it into your bag as Sirius, Remus, and Peter came running into the room.
"Where have you been?" Remus asked, clearly stressed.
"Where have you been?" James retorted, his anger from the note translating into his question.
"(Y/N) is in the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey won't tell us anything. We've been trying to look for you!" Sirius said.
"Come on!" Remus called out, already making his way out of the room.
James quickly followed them, his mind racing with worry for his girl. What could have possibly happened since he saw her last? He thought to himself as they all quickly made their way to the hospital wing. When they arrived, James saw Snape sitting outside of the room. Anger immediately filled him. He knew he would have killed him if it was his fault (y/n) was hurt. He went to confront him, but Sirius grabbed his shoulders roughly.
"Come on."
They all walked into the room. James saw you curled up in the corner of the room and his heart broke for you. He wanted to wrap you up in his arms and never let go.
"(Y/N)? What happened?" Sirius asked.
"No visitors!" Dumbledore yelled.
James looked at you, waiting for you to look back at him, waiting for you to tell the headmaster you wanted him to stay, but you never did. They left the room, the door slamming shut behind them. James thought of you, how you had gone from happy in his arms to the broken girl in the hospital wing. He looked over at Severus, anger immediately engulfing him.
"Snivellus," he called out antagonistically.
He began making his way over to him, but Remus grabbed his arm and held him back.
"Not now, James. Severus is the one who brought her here. He helped her," Remus explained.
"What happened, Snape?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know," Severus responded, his voice showing his irritation.
He clearly did not want to deal with the four idiots. He was more focused on his friend's safety.
"When I found her, she was..." he broke off, having a hard time thinking of the state he had seen his strong friend in. "Someone assaulted her."
James tried to push past his friends to get to Severus, but they held him back.
"Stop!" Sirius yelled. "This is not what she needs right now!"
James ran a hand through his hair, trying to control his anger. Dumbledore opened the door and looked between all of the boys.
"Mr. Snape, you are being requested."
It took everything for James to suppress his anger as Snape stood and entered the hospital wing. The door shut and James mind raced with ideas that only fueled his rage. He remembered how your body felt as you came, he remembered how it felt to slip his cock into you, and then he imagined Snape doing the same things to you. He imagined you moaning his name, kissing his lips. James imagined rushing through the doors and smashing his face then grabbing your face and kissing you. James walked up to the hospital wing door, trying to swing it open, but it wouldn't budge.
"Dumbledore put a charm on it, James. It won't open," Remus explained. "Come on. We'll come back tomorrow."
-
You laid curled up on the bed in the corner of the dark hospital wing, unable to sleep. Severus had left at curfew and you could feel the loneliness echoing off of the room, you wished he could have held you forever. At least in his arms, you felt safe, you felt like someone was looking out for you. You were lost in your thoughts, enslaved by the memories of the night.
The door to the hospital wing slowly creeped open, a sliver of light from the corridor shining through. Adrenaline poured into your system, intensifying every feeling in your body. You reminded yourself of the enchantment Dumbledore had placed over the room. You reminded yourself you were safe.
"Sev?" You called out. "Is that you?"
The door opening widened, but there was no one there. You sat up in the bed, looking intently at the door as if to see if it was truly open or if your mind was deceiving you. You went to stand to close it, but you were stopped in your tracks. You heard footsteps slowly making their way closer towards you. You pushed yourself back on the bed, your back firmly against the headboard. At the foot of your bed, the invisibility cloak slowly lifted, revealing James. You were locked in place, unable to move or scream even though you wanted to.
"Baby, what's wrong?" James asked, his voice sending shivers down your spine.
He moved to sit beside you on the bed. He wasn't touching you, but your skin crawled with the memory of his last touch.
"Get out," you said firmly, somehow finding the strength.
"Get out?" James laughed. "Come on, baby. You know you want me here. Otherwise, how would I have gotten in?"
You never knew confusion was such an intense emotion until that moment. You tried to deny it, but remembered the charm. Did you want him here? Did you want him? Your thoughts were broken by James' hand grabbing your thigh, his thumb gently caressing your skin. You reached for his hand to push it away, but he caught it, bringing it up to his lips. You pulled away aggressively, but James didn't seem to notice.
"Stop, James."
His eyes were focused on your lips as he moved closer to you. He grabbed your ankle, pulling you down onto the bed as he hovered over you. His hand went to your face, cupping it softly. You pushed against his chest, trying to push him off. You could feel his hard on pressing against your stomach.
"James, get off of me! Please, stop!" You screamed.
"Don't do that, baby," he soothed. "I love you. And you love me, you know that."
His hand moved down to your neck as he pressed his lips against yours.
You jolted up in a panic, looking around the empty room frantically. You were out of breath, your throat dry and sore. You pressed the palms of your hands against your forehead, imprudently trying to force the nefarious memories and thoughts from your mind. You spent the rest of the night with your eyes searching the dark, empty room for any sign of movement, paranoid your nightmare would become a reality and you would be forced to relive your worst experience all over again. Somehow, the castle now seemed to be home to many more ghosts.
-
You spent the next week in the hospital wing. Severus brought you all of the classwork you were missing so you were not falling behind. He spent as much time as he could with you, making you feel far less lonely. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were incredibly patient and understanding of the incident. They came to check on you at least once a day and never pressured you to leave the hospital wing. You knew it was time to return to your usual daily routine, but the idea of being forced to interact with James felt like a nightmare. You laid on the hospital bed, your books and parchment sprawled out as you worked.
“What happened to you?” Madam Pomfrey exclaimed, breaking your concentration and causing you to look up from your papers.
Severus walked through the doors with a vibrantly purple and black eye. His hair fell over it, but it was impossible to hide.
“It’s nothing,” he said. “I’m just here to visit (Y/N).” 
Madam Pomfrey allowed him to walk past her, but continued to shake her head as she walked over to her healing potions on the side of the room, scanning through them for the appropriate one.
“What happened to you, Severus?” You asked, sitting up on the bed and immediately reaching your hand out to push his hair behind his ear. “That looks awful!”
“It’s nothing, (Y/N). Would you stop?”
He pushed your hand away as he sat on the bed next to you. 
“Was it them? Tell me, Severus.”
“Why don’t we just focus on you? You’re the one in the hospital wing after all.”
“So are you now, Mr. Snape,” Madam Pomfrey stated. “Sit still and look up.”
Madam Pomfrey applied a thick cream to Severus’ eye. The colors dissipated and the swelling went down until eventually the ailment almost completely disappeared. By the time Madam Pomfrey finished treating Severus, it was time for him to leave for his next class. He grabbed his books and began walking out of the hospital wing.
“Wait-” You called out, surprising even yourself. 
You collected you classwork before standing and making your way over to Severus.
“Are you leaving?” Madam Pomfrey asked, clearly contemplating whether to allow you to go.
“Yes, Madam. Thank you for everything,” You said before turning to a shocked Severus. “They know better than to mess with us when we’re together. Let’s go.”

matt/foggy fic where they get married for real in undergrad but everybody thinks that they got fake married to move into the married student housing and are just building up plausible deniability when they try to say otherwise
("i tried to tell josh that i'm actually in love with you and he said sure you are and winked at me," matt says, dropping his bag onto the ground and himself onto the incredibly uncomfortable school supplied sofa next to foggy.
"okay, a) tell him to stop winking at my husband and b) how did you know he was winking? can you recognize, like. . .eyelid noises?" foggy asks, tugging him close.
"yes," matt says, sighing and snuggling close, resting his head on foggy's shoulder.
"gross," foggy says, sympathetically.)

"Your hand's hurt," Sam says, narrowing his eyes as soon as he looks up when Bucky walks in the door flexing his fingers. "What did you do and why didn't you use the Terminator one?"
"Punched a reporter," Bucky says, flatly. "Didn't want to kill him."
"Excuse me?" Sam asks, getting to his feet.
"Punched a reporter," Bucky repeats, sighing but willingly letting Sam take his hand to look at it.
"Yeah, I heard that," Sam says. "Gonna tell me why?"
"He said something about you I didn't like," Bucky says, shrugging. "Don't worry about it. I handled it."
"How?"
". . .I punched a reporter," Bucky says, like it should be obvious, leaning in to kiss Sam on the mouth quickly and brush past him.
"If you start punching everyone who says shit about me, you're going to go to prison," Sam says, trying not to smile as he watches Bucky walk into the bathroom. "And I won't miss you."
"He's not going to press charges," Bucky says, leaning his head out the doorway.
"How do you know that?"
"I told him I'd use the other arm next time."
Bucky smiles this time and Sam sighs and follows him to push him up against the sink and kiss him for awhile before he helps him wrap his hand up.

i need there to be whatever size wall between fandom and actors that means nobody is forced to answer shipping questions. let's talk among ourselves. let's hang out in our little corners with our pals and have fun. let's take whatever energy might push you toward contacting an actor on twitter and put that toward supporting creators who are making actual queer content. oh my god.

“Considering your 1940s ideals and all,” Sam says, one day, when they’re watching something mindless on TV and Bucky has his head resting in Sam’s lap and his legs stretched out, “don’t you think we should be married, since we’re living together?”
Bucky turns his head to squint up at him.
“Exactly what about this situation we’ve got here makes you think I have 1940s ideals?” he asks.
Sam makes a non-committal noise, looking back to the TV, and Bucky pushes up to look at him, suddenly feeling overwhelmed.
“Are you trying to say you wanna marry me?” he asks.
Sam tips his head back and sighs, shutting his eyes for a long moment before he turns to give Bucky a look that makes his stomach flip a little.
"What if I am?" he asks, smirking.
"I think you have to actually ask me," Bucky says, sitting up entirely to face him, smirking back. "What with my ideals."
Sam looks hesitant for just a moment before he moves to get on one knee in front of him, taking his hand, smiling up at him for a long moment while Bucky tries to figure out if he knows how to feel this happy.
"You in, Barnes?" Sam asks, raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah," Bucky says, swallowing hard. "I'm in."
"Wait, are you crying?" Sam asks, grinning.
"Oh my god," Bucky murmurs, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand before he uses Sam's fingers tangled in his to tug him up and into his lap. "Just shut up and kiss me."

"Your boy's pretty popular," Sarah says, checking Sam gently with her hip when she comes to stand next to him and watch Bucky, who's on the ground being piled on by little kids, acting like he's been defeated by them in battle.
"My boy?" Sam asks, raising his eyebrows.
"Mmm hmm," Sarah hums, staring straight ahead and smiling.
"I know that mmm hmm," Sam says, huffing out a laugh, "and I want nothing to do with it."
Sarah just turns her smile on him before she wanders off for a minute to grab two beers from a cooler and hand them to him.
"Go rescue him," she says.
Sam stares at her critically for a moment before he rolls his eyes and walks over to nudge Bucky's arm with his foot, grateful that Sarah can't see his face when Bucky grins up at him.
"Need some help there?" Sam asks, lifting one of the beers.
"Well, I am outnumbered," Bucky says, but he manages to sweep most of the kids off of him and deposit them gently on the ground before he stands up, ignoring their disappointed noises.
"Let's go find somewhere we won't get swarmed for a minute," Sam says, giving him the beer and nodding toward the boat.
"You know, you're not gonna like being Captain America if you don't like being swarmed," Bucky says, following him. "It comes with the package."
"Oh, I like it fine," Sam says. "Trust me: big fan of being adored. I just wanted to catch my breath."
Bucky nods knowingly and they're both quiet until they're on the boat and a few sips into the beer, hidden from view.
"This suits you," Sam says, eventually.
"The sailing life?" Bucky asks.
"No, just--sun and noise and--family," Sam says. "I don't know what the hell I'm saying right now but. . .it feels right that you're here, man."
Bucky doesn't say anything and Sam's distantly considering jumping overboard when suddenly there's a rough hand, cold from where it was wrapped around the beer, cupping his face and a soft mouth on his. His hands move automatically to pull Bucky closer, to kiss him deeper, and Bucky sighs when he turns enough to catch his breath and ask, sounding vulnerable and. . .sweet, "Did that feel right?"
