ao3 masterlist

Thought I might compile all of my fics in one place, so here they are! (ao3 username is aspionage)

completed:

A Patchwork Family(350k): In the summer before third year, Harry is sent to live with Snape and Draco until school starts again, and the three of them gradually begin to realise how wrong they are about each other. Lots of angst, Harry and Draco brotherly bonding and non-biological Severitus.

Whispers in the Castle(38k): Nine-year-old Harry Apparates himself to Hogwarts, and tries to hide in the castle to escape Little Whinging. Meanwhile, Severus attempts to put a name to a new, particularly tiny first-year. Fluffy with a little angst, and a fun Christmas-y undertone!

The Parent Trap(87k): Harry Evans, raised by single mother Lily Evans and her best friend Mary Macdonald, begins at Hogwarts and is shocked to meet his twin brother, Simon Potter. The two of them quickly begin plotting to get their parents back together, and switch places over the summer. Closely based off the movie.

Sybillance(457k): A Wrong-Boy-Who-Lived fic where Harry Potter is taken back from the Dursleys aged nine to live with his family. He has to learn to try and bond with his parents and siblings after growing up without them. Features parental Sirius Black, Slytherin Harry and lots of angsty family moments.

oneshots:

Evening, Prime Minister!(5.6k): Minister for Magic Hermione Granger tries to cope as she is forced to deal with Boris Johnson's incompetence during the pandemic.

have yourself a merry little christmas(9.1k): The marauders all gather in Godric's Hollow for Christmas, all with secrets they're trying to hide from each other. Entirely Christmas fluff. Wolfstar and Jily.

Harry Potter and the Duke of Edinburgh Award(11.9k): Harry and his Gryffindor yearmates go on DofE together, featuring all of the drama that brings.

wips:

The Rat Trap: Sequel to the Parent Trap. Peter Pettigrew escapes from Azkaban, and Harry and his family must cope with the fallout, including the revelation that Simon may not actually be the Boy-Who-Lived. Also features Seer Ron, and a Regulus Black who isn't as dead as some might think.

merry christmas, everyone! <3

hiii, hope your masters degree is goin well

just wanted to ask -are we getting new chapter this week? (dont mean to rush you i just really enjoy your work and look forward to every new chapter)

hi - unfortunately not this weekend. I'm super sorry for the delays, everyone. My degree is HARD and I have recently started getting severe migraines when I look at a screen for too long, so that has sadly eaten into my writing time :(

I've been getting stuff written down every here and there, so I'll make sure there's a chapter out for you all before the new year! Once my coursework is finally complete I will be able to get some more consistency in my uploads. thank you for bearing with me <3

[aspionagee]

Unfortunately I am being tortured by my masters degree so there will be no chapter today

I promise it will be here soon! I currently spend most of my time staring longingly at the True Blue tab on my laptop while I write papers, and soon I will finally be able to write something I actually want to get on with xD

[aspionagee]

hi! thought you might like to know that today (november 5th) is 90 years since monopoly came out! the perfect game to bring families together (like in a patchwork family) <3

I did not know this, thanks for telling me! Very interesting

[aspionagee]

I AM HERE TO SCREAM AT YOU ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THE WAY YOU CHARACTERISE HARRY. Its so well written, he actually feels like a teenager! I understand and more often than not get why harry may do a certain action even if it is shitty. Same for draco all of em are jus agliruv;iav;vf;. Question: Do harry and draco cope using humour often?(like how they made jokes about voldy wanting to kidnap harry.)

Hi, thank you for saying so! I often find myself frustrated with Harry even as I write him, so that's how I know I'm doing things the correct way haha

As for your question, yes I do imagine that they use humour constantly as a coping mechanism. I also do think that Severus would absolutely HATE their dark jokes

[aspionagee]

Did you read our heist baby? I'm rereading a Patchwork family for the millionth time and I just noticed that there's a painting of a stormy sea in Severus's quarters. Is that the gathering store from art heist baby? If you did read it, please share your thoughts on it. Also, what are your thoughts on the live museum robbery?

Can I just say that this is the best Tumblr ask I have ever received omg

I have read art heist baby, and I think I was writing that chapter while I read it so the painting of the stormy sea made its way into my fic! Good noticing on your part

My thoughts on the Louvre heist is that if you can break into the Louvre with a very tall ladder in the middle of the morning then you deserve whatever you managed to rob lol

is severus a strict parent? i would imagine in a modern world he would be yk the type to constantly text boys asking them about their whereabouts or such. i am really interested in him as a father!

Oh he absolutely is - in a modern era the tracking bracelet would be life360 xD

Accidentally took sleepy cold and flu medicine before a meeting?? The panic that hit when the drowsiness kicked in and I realised what I'd done

[aspionagee]

The angst has been killing me lately but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it but I have a sort of funny question. I know in your little fun facts post you said Mrs Weasley and Harry convince Severus to go on a blind date. I was wondering if you’d share more information on that since I cackled like a mad woman once I read that. I just can’t believe he’d agree to do so. I just find it so amusing especially how the others would react since the witch he went out with was basically anti-vaccines. I could imagine Sirius laughing his head off. Other than that your writing is lovely hopefully you have a wonderful day.

Hi, thank you for asking! This is one of my favourite random things I've come up with haha, and I am actually planning a oneshot in the future (when I finally have time) where I will explore the chaotic date. This date is why we do not see Severus dating anyone during the story - she really put him off xD

[aspionagee]

Hi! All the chapters building up to the angst has been so good so far. It really gets to me 😭.

Obviously, all the guys spend most of the time in the magical world but I wonder how often they interact with muggles or go into muggle establishments. I imagine that there’s more interactions during the summer at spinner’s end but I’d like to know how the guys live among muggles.

I can only imagine Draco’s reaction to a TV😂

Hi, thank you for the question! There is a reasonable amount of interaction with the Muggle world while they live at Spinner's End, mainly at Harry's behest. I like to think he takes Draco around to introduce him to Muggle culture, and that the trio occasionally visit the local cinema. Draco, of course, would be gobsmacked by this xD

If Catan was around in 1993 just know Harry and Draco might have MURDERED each other in A Patchwork Family

[aspionagee]

due to so much angst lately, i need to know how severus used to spend time w harry and draco before all this shit happened to them. i love their family fr (and i love severus being a tired stressed dad xD)

Hi, thanks for asking! It depends which boy you're thinking of. Severus and Harry tended to cook meals together, while Draco and Severus were more into brewing. When it's all three of them at once, however, these guys are very much a board games family! I imagine that since Harry and Draco came to live with him, Severus' single battered Monopoly box has gradually evolved into a sizeable board games collection :)

[maledictusfotum]

im supposed to be over them but nah

animatic of @aspionagee 's fic True Blue

ignore literally everything bad about it I had like three shifts in between the creation of it

[aspionagee]

OH MY GOD???? This may be the coolest thing that has ever happened, thank you so much for making this!!! Just know I have shown this to every single person I know, WOW is this good

[aspionagee]

You guys are so not ready for this next chapter it's a wild one

[aspionagee]

I don’t usually do asks but I was just thinking about this, in your fic do you see the parallels between Draco and Regulus, Harry and Snape? I never thought about it till now but I was curious since Draco and Regulus were both born into Pureblood families and held the same ideology and Harry and Snape were both abused halfbloods. The difference is Harry and Draco are learning how to be good people and are going down different paths. I was re-reading true blue when it hit my brain lol

I’ve been enjoying the fic very much! You are a wonderful writer

I could very much see this! A big part of Harry's relationship with Severus is the fact that they are just really similar; it's how they were able to break down their barriers and learn to get along.

As for Draco, while I can also really understand his similarities with Regulus, I also like to draw parallels between him and Sirius. I think that they share the act of turning their backs on their families and ideologies, and they both had the same bad attitude as teens.
