New Fanfic Alert!

Description:

Oh, Carolina knows

Why for years they've said

That I was guilty as sin

And sleep in a liar's bed

But the sleep comes fast

And I'll meet no ghosts

It's between me, the sand, and the sea

Carolina knows

– Carolina, by Taylor Swift

Sirius survived the attack on the Department of Mysteries at the end of Harry’s fifth year at Hogwarts.

 Unfortunately, this doesn’t prevent Harry from being forcibly returned to the dreaded Dursleys for the summer. And – lucky for him – they’re going away to the beach for the holiday. With Mrs Figg busy tending to an ailing niece, they’ve got no choice but to bring Harry with them. 

So, Harry’s stuck as their relegated luggage-carrier while the Dursleys lounge in the sun and Dudley eats his way through all the ice-cream in Devon.

But one afternoon, when Harry sneaks away from his relatives for a moment to himself, he stumbles across someone in trouble. And, helping them? That might just change everything.

 ༻✧༺

A Post-OOTP Canon-Divergence AU — with twists, turns, salt, sea, buried truths and a kind of magic that doesn’t involve a wand…

 ༻✧༺

TL;DR: Sirius survived the Department of Mysteries, but Harry still finds himself exiled with the Dursleys for the summer — this time to the windswept coast of Devon. When he slips away for a moment of peace, he discovers someone in trouble. Helping them sets off a chain of events that unearth long-buried truths and a kind of magic Harry never knew existed.

Taylor Swift and Bodies of Water

Note: huge thank you to @meandmypagancrew who assembled all the lyrics for this post! Related posts include water and beaches.

'Taylor Swift'

Tim McGraw: The moon like a spotlight on the lake

'Fearless (Taylor's Version)'

We Were Happy: We used to watch the sun go down on the boats in the water

'Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)'

Mine: Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?

Mine: Do you remember all the city lights on the water?

Mine: You said, “I remember how we felt sitting by the water”

'Red (Taylor's Version)'

The Lucky One: Now it’s big black cars and Riviera views

Starlight: He was trying to skip rocks on the ocean

'1989 (Taylor’s Version)'

This Love: Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in

This Love: Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again

Clean: Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

Now That We Don’t Talk: You part the crowd like the Red Sea

Suburban Legends: Waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door

'reputation'

Gorgeous: Ocean blue eyes looking in mine, I feel like I might sink and drown and die

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Jump into the pool from the balcony

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things: Everyone swimming in a champagne sea

'Lover'

Paper Rings: In the winter in the icy outdoor pool, when you jumped in first, I went in too

False God: We were stupid to jump in the ocean separating us 

'folklore'

The 1: Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

The Last Great American Dynasty: They say she was seen on occasion, pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea

My Tears Ricochet: And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

Seven: Feet in the swing over the creek

Peace: I’m a fire and I’ll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade, ocean wave blues come

The Lakes: Take me to the Lakes where all the poets went to die

'evermore'

Willow: I’m like the water when your ship rolled in that night

Willow: Lost in your current like a priceless wine

Gold Rush: Ships on waters, so inviting, I almost jump in

Long Story Short: And my waves meet your shore ever and evermore

Marjorie: Long limbs and frozen swims, you’d always go past where our feet could touch

Evermore: I’m on waves, out being tossed

'Midnights'

Midnight Rain: Jumping off things in the ocean

Bigger Than The Whole Sky: ‘Cause it’s all over now, all out to sea

Other Songs written by Taylor

Carolina: O Carolina creeks running through my veins

Carolina: It’s between me, the sand, and the sea

I was losing for a water-themed Taylor swift lyric for my fanfic title, so this really helps!

[luna-azzurra]

On writing sexual tension

⊹ standing too close. like just barely not touching. why are their shoulders breathing on each other??

⊹ conversations that sound normal but feel like foreplay. “pass the salt” has never been so loaded.

⊹ one of them says something flirty and the other freezes for 0.2 seconds like “oh.”

⊹ eyes dropping to lips and then—back up. with effort.

⊹ holding eye contact just a little too long. like... are they gonna kiss or duel??

⊹ unintentional physical contact that lasts one second too long and now they’re both broken

⊹ a hand on the small of the back. that’s it. that’s the tweet.

⊹ tension so thick that other characters start noticing like “hey are you two okay?” (they are not)

⊹ “accidental” sleepovers. “oh no there’s only one bed.” yeah. suuuure.

⊹ biting back a smile. biting back a moan. biting anything really.

⊹ one of them walks away and the other has to physically restrain themselves from watching the hips

⊹ lots of sighing. frustrated sighs. horny sighs. “i want to kiss you but I’m emotionally unavailable” sighs.

The Batkids play a game called “Guess Who Bruce Is Disappointed In Today” and it is a bloodsport.

It started as a joke. It is no longer a joke.

Every morning, without fail, one of them walks into the kitchen and says:

“Guess who Bruce is disappointed in today?”

And they all take turns guessing based on crime alerts, nightly patrol rotations, and vibes.

It’s become a system.

It went like:

Jason: “I knocked out a senator by accident. My odds are high.”

Tim: “I drank seventeen Red Bulls and fell asleep on top of the Batcomputer.”

Damian: “I released three bats into Gotham General Hospital as enrichment. They were bored.”

Steph: “I called him ‘Brucie’ in front of a senator.”

Cass: Just raises a finger and shrugs.

Then Bruce walks in, dead silent, pours his coffee, looks at no one, and walks away.

Tim: “It’s Jason.”

Jason: “DAMN IT.

Rules:

If you guess wrong, you have to do patrol with Damian and listen to him rant about the superiority of traditional swordsmanship for two hours.

If you guess right, you get to choose the movie on family movie night.

If Bruce is disappointed in himself, everyone gets ice cream. That’s the law.

It got so serious they made a whiteboard. Labeled it: “DISAPPOINTMENT LEADERBOARD.”

Top scores:

Tim (17 correct guesses, possible mind reader)

Cass (14, reads vibes better than Google Translate reads Latin)

Steph (11, mostly via chaos intuition)

Jason (2. constantly thinks it’s him. It often is. But not always.)

Damian (0. refuses to acknowledge he is ever the cause)

One time Dick guessed correctly for the first time in 3 months and everyone clapped.

He cried.

Alt. Version: Guess Who Bruce Is Proud Of Today.

Game cancelled due to lack of data.

To All Those People Trying To Scam Me Into Commissioning Artwork for My Fanfiction

PLEASE STOP.

On Fanfiction.net alone, I am currently receiving about 4 PMs a day across two accounts from people claiming to have read and loved my work and asking if I'd be interested in entering a discussion about creating some cover art or "bringing my work to life".

My fics aren't even that popular, so the fact that I'm being solicited so frequently disturbs me. I can only imagine how many the really "big" writers are getting.

I first became aware of this scam in August last year, when a warning regarding the scam was announced in one of the Discord servers I'm a member of. At that point, I had received a few messages already, but had dismissed them out of hand as I'm a student and don't have the money for that sort of thing. When I saw the announcement though, it all clicked. Since then, the messages have only picked up in frequency.

Here are some numbers:

I have two Ffn accounts - for the two different fandoms I write for. Since February, the more active one has received 11 PMs asking to commission art, along with 6 reviews in two days - 5 of which were from the same person on 5 separate fics. The less active one (oddly enough) has received 57 PMs along the same line and another 6 reviews. This is all since 1 August last year.

Honestly, after nine months of these bogus messages, I'm tired of them, and irritated.

And the saddest thing is that, in amongst these fakes could be genuine people who I immediately distrust because of all the frauds. I just can't see the wood for the trees anymore and I'm so tired of it.

So, please stop trying to scam me. It's not going to work - I know your tricks. And let the people who truly care and are passionate about creating art for others have the opportunity to do what they love.

AU Harmione fic recs

Tbh there’s not a lot of good Harmione fics out there. Most of them either make Harry and Hermione waaay to ooc, or have a disturbing amount of Weasley bashing. Or both 🤡 Hope you enjoy these, tho.

✨ you're in love with her, idiot / 15k / Hermione Granger has managed to lead a quiet, unassuming life as a fifth-year Ravenclaw. Harry Potter is a well-adjusted and popular fifth-year Gryffindor. What happens when they eventually cross paths?

✨ A Little Child Shall Lead Them / 30k / After the war, Hermione is haunted by the friends she lost, so she comes up with an audacious plan to fix it, starting way back with Harry's parents. Now, all she has to do is get herself taken seriously in 1981, and then find a way to get her old life back when she's done.

✨ A Step to the Right / 64k / When Harry saves Hermione's life, they find themselves in a different world and in the middle of another magical war - but at least they have each other.

✨ aberration / 92k / Hermione Granger hates Harry Potter just as much as the next Slytherin. Until she doesn't.

✨ Bonded for Life / 200k / Fourteen Days Prequel. Hermione is struggling to heal from the war. Harry, her best friend and new boyfriend, is trying to help but if she won't tell him the truth - the full extent of what she had to give up to win - they'll never be able to move past it together.
