“Did you see what form your Patronus had?” Snape asks. She shakes her head. “Cast it.”
“I can’t-”
“Of course you can. You did then too.”
She needs three attempts for the Luna Moth to fly through the sitting room. His arms around her, her back against his chest and his chin resting on her head he watches it with her.
“Do you know what Luna Moths stand for? They represent the ability to leave behind old ways and embrace new beginnings, the pursuit of happiness and love - especially true love. Some say they stand for regeneration and healing. They can eat leaves that are poisonous without suffering harm - I think it’s no coincidence you managed to cast your first proper Patronus Charm when you did.”
I dusted off my watercolours and drew Dove's patronus from "Your tears are of no relevance to me". I think it turned out pretty good but I need to invest in some better watercolour paper 😅 The stuff I have is a pain when layering thin washes of colour over each other.

Excerpt from "Your tears are of no relevance to me" upcoming chapter
Y/N: “You spiked my drink? Again? What is it this time? A hiccoughing solution again? That was a fun afternoon.”
Snape: “You tell me.”
Y/N: “You put poison in my wine?”
Snape: “How are you supposed to learn if there are never any stakes? If you can just tell yourself messing up is not so bad because there are never any real consequences?”
Y/N: “That…strangely enough sounds logical. But you have the antidote on you, right? Right?”
Snape: “Oh, calm down, you wouldn’t have died! Not for a few hours at least, you would have spent a few hours in agonising pain though.”
Y/N: “I- why?”
Snape: “To learn, dummy. After spending a few hours in pain you wouldn’t have made the same mistake again.”

Listen ofc all of the Unreal Unearth songs are amazing because it's Hozier we're talking about but holy fuck-
Personally the song in this album that smacked me across the face at first was Abstract (Psychopomp), and I can't believe more people are not going feral over it like I am, look-
H U H
I saw you perform this ultimately fruitless yet incredibly significant, humane and selfless act of kindness. You put your own life at risk for something others would have considered "too small". I saw you run into moving traffic, stain your own hands, just to offer a little comfort to this poor animal in its dying moments. I was terrified, I knew I had no choice but to love you.

DP x DC Therapy Prompt
Part 2
Bruce Wayne makes a point to send all his kids to therapy. It didn't matter how much they moan and groan, they were going.
If Alfred thought it was a good idea to force teenage Bruce to go to therapy, then it's definitely a good idea to send the Batkids.
And it helped. Therapy did good for his kids, and eventually, without fail, the kids started being okay going.
Wanting to go.
So yes, when a new black hair, blue eyed teen joins his family, he included him.
Especially when Danny dropped a trauma-bomb during the middle the dinner like it was nothing.
If any of his kids needed therapy, it was him.
Thing was, getting Danny to the therapist was like getting a dog to the vet. If the dog had ghostly abilities and was extremely hard to catch.
Cut to the new weekly tradition of "will Danny go to therapy this time?"
They never managed to catch him for his appointment.
Bruce was getting fed up with all the chasing, and arguing, just all of it.
So he decided on a new course of action. His therapist absolutely wasn't the one to suggest it. He decided to finally just ask Danny why he was so against therapy.
He didn't get an answer. Instead, Danny deflected the question. Asked him why it's so important, the teen was fine. He didn't need therapy. Danny got defensive.
Bruce dropped it.
After all, how could he forced an over-powered teenage king into going to a regular old therapy office?
As much as Bruce says he forces his children into therapy, he doesn't actually really force anyone. If someone puts their foot down, he'll back off.
He never brought up again, never bothered trying. Danny made it clear he didn't like therapy, regardless the reason.
Bruce can respect that. He just wished Danny would just give it a try.
Then one night, when he got home from patrol, Danny was waiting for him in the cave.
Looking ridiculously uncomfortable, and fidgeting, Danny finally talked to him. Even as Bruce watch tears gather.
Danny recounted everything that happened when he dealt with a therapist for the first and only time. How she turned out to be an evil ghost, driving the students of his high school into a deep depression.
How it took so long for him to be able to get pulled out of it. His fear that there will be a repeat, and he doesn't think he can handle it. All the fear and anxiety he felt every time they mentioned him going to therapy.
The adrenaline response he’s body would kick into.
That night ended with a hug as the teen silently cried. Bruce promising him over and over again that no one would force him to go. If he ever decided to give it a try, he can leave the session at any moment. Fire the therapist.
Whatever Danny needed, Bruce would give it to him.
A few weeks later, Bruce was happy Danny was giving it a try.
