Salutations!

Hi! Here's a little navigation to my blog. This blog is LGBTQAI+ and disability friendly, and pretty much consists of Harry Potter/Marauder era posts, fic excerpts, mood boards, writing meta, and anything else that I think looks nice/interesting/strange/appealing/scary/informative/happy/sad/younameit.

I'm Iris! (She/Her) I work as a children's bookseller (I talk about Harry Potter for half the day), I write fic and I'm also currently developing a HP Fanfiction podcast with my best friend (more about that soon!).

My main fic, my darling, my obsession is the first of The Lionheart series. A Regulus Black/Marlene McKinnon, fix it AU with a redemption arc for Regulus, (eventually) Black brother bonding, badass women, looooads of mutual pining, angst and eventual fluff. Please check it out if you're so inclined. Moodboards and playlists below!

My little ficlet exploring Euphemia Potter and what could have happened if she had lived here and here. Hoping to expand on this soon!

A collection of Hinny fics here. An exploration of Hinny, sometimes fluffy, light angst collection of Ginny and Harry ficlets, drabbles and half developed ideas. Can be read as stand-alone pieces, but exist in the same universe.

My first (currently unfinished) fic, Once was Love//To Build a Home and associated ficlets/deleted scenes. A bit of angst, eventual fluff. Sirius/Mary McDonald, Sirius freed from Azkaban after four years. Kid fic. Set in Ireland <3

Thanks for checking this out! Feel free to ask me any questions, fic related and otherwise.

Lionheart moodboards:

Regulus Black

Benjy Fenwick

McKinnon sisters: Jacqui, Hannah, and Diana.

Playlist-mainly songs I've listened to on repeat while writing here.

why can't gay people flirt normally

like "ur cute," "no ur cute," isn't that hard

it doesn't have to be:

"finally the flesh reflects the madness within,"

"well, you'd know all about the madness within wouldn't you remus?"

Fuck drugs. Have you ever been addicted to reading angsty fanfics about Harry Potter's dead parents and their friends? That shit will kill you.

Do you think Regulus cried out “Sirius” instead of “Mum” when he got injured as a child?

follow-up question: Do you think he did it again out of reflex as he was dying?

[cryingoverdeadgaywizzards]

Sirius getting in trouble and McGonagall not calling his parents because Sirius was disowned, but also not calling the Potters because they had to take care of talking to James.

So, she decides to bring Regulus to her office and just let him yell at Sirius.

writing is just sitting in front of a computer and making up problems for imaginary people while ignoring your own. fun and casual hobby.
