Show Me The Way

I'm looking for a fanfiction I read years ago called Show Me the Way cowritten by TheForgottenLover on fanfiction.net under the username TheRavenLover. I don't remember who the other author is unfortunately.

I am hoping somebody remembers this story and know where I can read it as it looks like it's no longer available on fanfiction.net

The main thing I remember about the story is that Hermione and Ginny's patronus combine into a Raven

I want happy lesbian media. 

I want a book about a girl who falls in love with another girl over a school project and they kiss at their lockers and hold hands in the library. I want a TV show about a small-town girl who moves to the Big City for university and meets a girl there and they start dating and come home to the little town to visit and Funny Shenanigans ensue. I want a movie about a woman who has everything, a career, a house, friends, but something still doesn’t feel right so she goes Soul Searching and finds the love of her life. I want a rom-com about lesbian mums raising their problematic but lovable children. I want a sitcom about a group of LGBT friends and the two lesbians of the group deny they’re in love but everyone can see it and more Funny Shenanigans ensue as they try and set them up. 

All I want is some happy-fucking-lesbian-media that doesn’t revolve around one dying, or leaving their husband or getting together with a man in the end, or they can’t be together for whatever dramatic cinematic reason or they get fucking hate-crimed by the entire town. 

I want the lesbian media for young lesbians today that I deserved when I was thirteen and fourteen and the only thing I could find was ‘Blue Is The Warmest Colour’ at the video store and trying to sneak it past my mum and seeing the disgust on her face when she read the rating ‘R-18+, High Impact Sex Scenes.’

We deserve some goddamn happy, corny, carefree, loving lesbian media, alright?

[Caption: in s06e08 when Octavia, affected by the temporal anomaly, starts freaking out and acting confused, Diyoza calms her down and comforts her, petting her head. Octavia acknowledges she recognizes Diyoza (repeating the line ”two serpents, one garden”), and Diyoza calls her “good girl”.]

[beck2487]

I had two thoughts when I saw this scene

Octavia x Diyoza romantic relationship

Octavia x Diyoza mother/daughter relationship

I've decided it's more of a mother/daughter or mentor relationship because Diyoza doesn't want Octavia to make the same mistakes she did and Diyoza has a baby coming so shes probably in a more nurturing/mothering mindset. And at this point in time I think Octavia needs more guidance than a romantic relationship in her life

I never thought much about Echo and Emori's relationship but after watching this scene I want to see more.

I realize that a romantic relationship between the 2 on the show is out of the question but I might be looking for some fanfic in the near future

Binder reviews

So I bought a Swim Top Binder and a Cotton Lined Power Tank from Underworks and I just tried them on

They are both SUPER comfortable

Both compress fairly well and the entire length has the compression panel so it compresses your entire torso not just your chest. You can still tell I have breasts but mine are large to begin with, I'm sure if you had smaller breasts they would not be noticable with these binders

They were easy enough to get on and off by myself on the first go and the swim top has a half zipper which helps as well

My nipples show through the material when hard but aren't visible when wearing a shirt over them.

Both look like tank tops which is nice if you need to hide the fact you are binding

On a first impression I would totally recommend

Will update once I have worn both for longer periods of time and once I have gone swimming with the swim top

Pictures of the swim top binder (size XL)

Update

So I wore the cotton binder for a 5 hour shift at work and again the next day for a 5 hour graduation. The binder was comfortable the entire time and did not move around and my breasts stayed in place. I was able to bend and lift a decent amount of weight (~20-40lbs) with little to no problem. Sometimes (very rarely) I felt a little short of breath but it was due to the compression in my stomach rather than my chest so if you have a smaller stomach you probably wont have that problem. Overall I would totally recommend

Update 2

So I finally got to use the swim binder today for 1.5-2 hours (I used it without anything over it). I was in the water for almost the entire time I was wearing it but I was not actively swimming the entire time. As with the cotton tank binder my stomach was also compressed so I did have to work a little bit harder to breathe sometimes but not so much that it was a hindrance and if I did need a break I just lifted the tank up to uncover my diaphragm for a few moments. I was very comfortable wearing it in the water and had good range of movement. Everything stayed in the binder although it did ride up a few times but I think that's mainly because it is too long on me. When I did get out I noticed that my breasts did move up quite high so that it was quite clear I had breasts and I'm not sure at what point that happened but I myself didnt notice until I looked in the mirror whereas I'm usually hyper aware of them. It also dried fairly fast which is a nice plus. Overall it may not be good if you have severe dysphoria as like I said by the end it was very clear I had breasts and I'm not sure when that happened. It may be that if you have a smaller chest this will not happen but that's just a guess. I'm assuming my breasts moved with all the active swimming I did so if you are planning on just hanging out in the water with little movement this might be good for you. If you plan on using it for active swimming and water activities I would suggest taking into consideration how your breasts might move during those activities before buying.

The 100 6x03

Is anybody else getting more and more frustrated with the way Octavia is being treated!?

[beck2487]

The 100 6x02

I dont even know where to start with this latest episode. I mean...

Murphy seemed the least affected by the toxin and now he has those black lines and although he was never my favorite character I dont want him to die

Jordan setting foot on land for the first time should have been a much bigger deal in my opinion

Abby can go to hell for letting them beat Octavia to a pulp and almost killing her

Seems like Niylah and Octavia could be a thing

Who woke Madi!?

Still waiting for all the feelings/hatred to come to a head between pretty much everybody, specifically Bellamy/Octavia, Clarke/everybody

EVERYBODY NEEDA TO STOP HATING ON OCTAVIA! Like she is just a kid who was pushed into power and manipulated and is taking the fall for everybody else's idea (Abby came up with the cannibalism)

Octavia snuck to earth to check on Bellamy and he snubbed her so hard. Like f*ck you Bellamy

Ok I think my rant is done

[beck2487]

Do we know the official ages of the characters in The 100? Like how old were they when they landed in season 1 and how old are they now at the beginning of season 6?

[beck2487]

SPOILERS

I still hadn't decided how I felt about Raven/Shaw but really!? They had to kill him off before they had a chance to really get started yet Abby gets to put Kane back in cryo after her failed attempt at healing him

I know everyone is freaking out over that Hosie scene but for the wrong reason

Everybody needs to stop and really understand what that meant. I love Posie and I would love Hosie. We love good wlw representation but that seen goes beyond that. And it my opnion is even more important.

Did you all realized how big of a deal Hope reaction was? She didn’t flinch, she didn’t felt awkward and she didn’t made Josie feel ashamed of it. She was surprised for a second and then endearing in the next. She took it was a compliment.. not as a joke or even an offense.

Do you understand how big of a deal that is? How many of us grew up scared to death to even hug our female friends too long and overthinking it. Admiting you had a crush on your friend in the past? That would send me into an anxiety spiral. Thinking they would think I’m hitting on her or something. Afraid of being the predatory lesbian people set you up to be. Because I grew up with girls automatically thinking I liked ALL girls just because I was gay. That as soon as came out I was automatically going to hit on them. And I carry that trauma to this day into every interaction with a new female friend.

But that scene was just a friend being vulnerable and honest. And a friend being kind and taking the compliment that is just a compliment. If it grows to anything else, that’s another story. But in the moment it wasn’t weird, it wasn’t awkward and it wasn’t ugly. It was unconditional friendship. And it healed a piece of my heart.

Does anybody know of any good fanfics with trans, genderqueer, nonbinary (etc.) characters?

Preferably supergirl fics but open to other fandoms as well
