wild things

slytherin. in progress.

[bonafake]

hello, all! it’s been literal years since i’ve used this tumblr, but i've got an important update.

someone recently let me know that ffn might be going down, which made me reassess my decision to host my harry potter stories on that platform exclusively. regardless of whether the platform goes down, i think that it’s worthwhile for me to repost my harry potter works somewhere more secure. over the next few months, i’m planning on moving my stories over to my ao3 (here). i’ve posted some other stories here, but i’m planning on archiving absolutely everything, along with a few little things i haven’t yet posted, and some other stuff that i’ve deleted. i also want to archive your comments, because i really value the feedback and interaction that i had with the harry potter fandom, both here and on ffn.

secondly, i also wanted to share some of my current thoughts on harry potter as a fandom and my subsequent plans for my in-progress works. at the moment, i have no interest in continuing to write for harry potter. this decision is based largely on j.k. rowling’s deeply hateful and harmful rhetoric about trans people, especially trans women. as a queer woman of color, i never want to participate in systems of oppression and hatred, and i feel that supporting rowling by writing about her works ultimately harms trans people. for that reason, i don’t plan on writing any more harry potter stories.

with that in mind, i don’t think that i’ll be able to finish my current works in progress, magnum opus and common misconceptions. however, i’ve plotted out the remainder of both stories, and i plan on posting those notes to give readers a sense of closure. because neither story is finished, both will be marked as incomplete, and i may eventually come back to work on them sometime in the future. i also want to post some of my unpublished (and unpolished!) bits and bobs that i think are interesting. i’m not planning on editing anything - if i do, i’m certain i won’t end up reposting it at all!

additionally, i wanted to note that i’m involved in a few other fandoms under another pseudonym. mutuals, if you’d like that information, please send me a message and i’ll be happy to give it to you.

so, that’s what’s going on with me! please do feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions or thoughts!

much love, bonafake

I don’t have “abandoned” or “on hiatus” wips. I just put them on simmer for a bit. Indefinitely.

my level of fanfiction productivity ranges from “typing 20,000 words over the span of 3 days” or “opening a document and staring at it for a year without typing anything at all.” there is no middle ground.

Me, realizing that after the masterpieces by Colubrina, OlivieBlake, and Shayalonnie, nothing seems interesting to read any more: well I kind of messed things up for myself. (I’m craving a nice long twisty makes-you-question-everything-about-life fic and I’m clearly spoiled for life now nothing else holds my interest)

Well, there are so, so many books and stories in the world that are better than mine (I will not speak for @olivieblake and @shayalonnie ) so I hate to see you limit yourself.  Here’s a list of a few non-fics that I adore you could try, as well as a couple of fics.

BOOKS

The Wayward Children SeriesChildren have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

All the Crooked SaintsHere is a thing everyone wants: A miracle.Here is a thing everyone fears: What it takes to get one.

The Secret Horses of Briar HillThere are winged horses that live in the mirrors of Briar Hill hospital. In the mirrors that line its grand hallways, which once belonged to a princess. In those that reflect the elegant rooms, now filled with sick children. They are Emmaline’s secret.

The Ocean at the End of the LaneA middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, As he sits by the pond behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.

Room at the TopSometimes, death is the end. Sometimes, it’s an unfurnished flat, an enemy and a whole lot of grey areas. After Life AU

Pocket Change by @bonafake The first time they decide to run away is a crisp, cool day in the middle of October, with claret and amber leaves falling down, that, when walked upon, sound like the crackle of a broken radio on a folksy static-filled channel. HG/TR.Erised by @elantil-arcaciaShe was the girl who fought for house elf rights, the one that picked the ugliest cat in the shop because she didn’t want it to be unloved, and if it gave her a twisted enjoyment to be the salvation to her once tormentor, she didn’t show it. If saving him was saving herself as well, she didn’t show that either.
