Toujours Pur (WIP. quillkiller centric, focused on The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. includes lucissa, nobleflower, tedromeda, ravendove, bartylus, jegulus, wolfstar, pandalily and rosekiller)

Rita Skeeter is ruthless. When she is assigned an article on The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, she doesn’t hesitate. This will be her chance to prove herself, to claw her way up to Editor in Chief. She doesn’t anticipate Bellatrix Black blocking her every move- uncovering secrets she thought were long buried.

As Rita soon learns, everyone has something to hide.

Hc that James' parents had a Romeo & Juliet situation but make it desi. Effie was hindu and Monty was muslim. Their families did not approve of them and they fled the country during the India-Pakistan split cuz there was a lot of violence and their families were pressuring them to break up. They came to the UK with so little but slowly built their way up to a stable lifestyle. They changed their names to fit into the foreign country better and they opened a pottery business and hence were started to be called as Euphemia and Fleamont Potter.

Not sure about what I want their original names to be (always open for suggestions tho) but for now I have:

Farzan (wise) /Fayaz (generous) for Fleamont

Yashoda (mother of lord Krishna) for Euphemia

People will see Pandora with her glittery beaded jewellery, quirky outfits, and whimsical demeanor and are shocked when she starts talking about how she's doing her second PhD in molecular biology because she hit a wall with her studies in electromagnetics and thinks it might be helpful.

"FAN fiction" as in i am literally just doing it for the love of the game. there's no reason to come into the comments complaining about how you disliked such and such aspect of the story. you are eating at my table for FREE and you have the audacity to complain

"fan FICTION" as in its not real!! its my personal spin off of the canon material meaning it has no impact on canon or your interpretation of the story at all. "this is such a mischaracterization of hornkus binglefuck 🥺🥺" Correct!! my source is that i made it the fuck up

[catchafalling-star]

IM CRYING NO WAY SOMEONE SAID YOU MISCHARACTERISED A COLLECTIVE HALLUCINATION

[apcqlypse]

NOOO I MEANT THAT AS A PLACEHOLDER FOR SOME FUCKING GUY THAT GOT TWO LINES IN THE BOOKS!!! they'll complain about mischaracterization but guys i swear jkracist doesn't know them like i do

“What is significant about fan fiction is that it often spins the kind of stories that showrunners wouldn’t think to tell, because fanficcers often come from a different demographic. The discomfort seems to be not that the shows are being reinterpreted by fans, but that they are being reinterpreted by the wrong sorts of fans - women, people of colour, queer kids, horny teenagers, people who are not professional writers, people who actually care about continuity (sorry). The proper way for cultural mythmaking to progress, it is implied, is for privileged men to recreate the works of privileged men from previous generations whilst everyone else listens quietly.”

Have to ask because of your answer the other day when you said you’d loved James since you were 14 years old. What is about him that made you love him so much? I love the Marauders, but I’ve never known how to take James because we see so little of him. I love TLE James though so I’m love to hear your thoughts!

This is a question I’ve thought a lot about, to tell you the truth, because it was honestly kind of weird that I latched onto him as a 14 year old. After all, the James that was presented in Snape’s Worst Memory (which was when I first became a 💕 jily shipper 4 life 💕) was exactly the kind of person I hated back then. This might shock you, but I was not cool in high school. (😅) I was shy and nerdy, the closeted queer kid who was really into fantasy novels, and the cool kids, the bullying gang of boys the marauders appear to be in that scene, were exactly the kind of people that made my life hell. I remember feeling slightly sick after reading that scene the first time. I remember being so disappointed.

And yet I became a bit fixated on that scene. (‘A bit’ being the understatement of the century given that I deadass wrote a novel about it in my late 20s lmao.) Part of the fixation was the delicious enemies to lovers fodder that is Jily, of course. But I think even more than that it was James’s capacity for growth that caught my imagination. Because we know from canon that James grew up to be someone that Lily fell in love with, someone that many, many people remember as a good man. We know that he devoted his life to fighting bigotry, even though as a pure-blood wizard, he absolutely didn’t have to. And we also know that even before Snape’s Worst Memory he was doing some incredible things — like accepting and supporting a werewolf when that was pretty much unheard of.

So in one scene, we are presented with this kid who is just an absolute jerk. But when you surround him with the context provided in the series, you get this incredibly complicated, layered, fascinating character. And I really had to grapple to understand him, because from what we saw in Snape’s Worst Memory, I did not relate to him at all. But I wanted to figure him out. I obsessed over it.

In a very real way — because I do think the way we relate fiction to our lives is incredibly real — that capacity for growth, that depth and nuance, gave me hope. It forced me to reckon with the idea that what we see of people isn’t always the full story, and that people can become better version of themselves, if you give them a chance. And I am much older now, I still love James Potter, and I have found this to be very true in life: People can grow. People can learn from their mistakes. People can do better.

That has been true for 30-year-old me and all my past mistakes, and it was true for 14-year-old me and my bizarre favorite character, James Potter. 🥰
