To go along with Ollie’s plea for No Post November, we’ve decided to add on to this protest by creating Dead Dove December.
The purity culture and ‘problematic’ attacking teenagers seem to think they own the fandom. It’s time to remind them that this fandom is full of freaks (affectionate). It came from us. The Marauders Fandom has been around since most of them were born, and we will write what we please.
Censorship of fiction is not okay. Censorship of fiction is inherently homophobic. Fiction does not equal reality. Don’t forget the first rule of fanfic: don’t like, don’t read.
🕊Ship/Characters don’t matter as long as they’re in the HP universe—HOWEVER, we highly encourage the use of Jegulus, as it’s the Jegulus sub-fandom that has caused this outrage to begin with
🕊You do not have to participate in No Post November to participate in Dead Dove December (and vice versa), although we highly consider you to participate in both!
🕊Not everything you post in December needs to be dead dove, we just encourage you to write as much as you can.
🕊If you are 25 or older and wish to participate in giving and claiming prompts, there will be an area to do that on The Adult Fandom Project Discord Server. @fuckboyregulus will be posting more about this soon.
🕊This is not a fest. You don’t have to sign up to participate. We only ask that you post something with dead dove content and be absolutely unapologetic about your work.
🕊Tag us in your posts and we will reblog you! (As long as you tag correctly)
🕊 Even if you’re not participating, please reblog this post to support us in our right to create whatever we want.
What does ‘dead dove, do not eat’ mean?
It essentially means “what it says on the label”. The tag indicates that the tropes and content tagged are going to appear in the fic exactly as stated. There will not necessarily be any author commentary condemning problematic aspects. This fic contains these things and if you proceed, you should expect to encounter it.
A jointly compiled HP femslash rec list made by the lovely members of the HP SAFFICS discord server. See all previous rec lists in the WLW Library on Tumblr or AO3!
Currently: Dead Dove Do Not Eat
Previously: MCD (see list)
!WARNING! This list contains fics with dark and disturbing topics. Even the summaries could be potentially triggering. Please proceed with caution and remember one of the basic rules of fandom: Don't Like, Don't Read.
This list was made in collaboration with @danpuff-ao3 and her Dead Dove Diaries Series. Go check it out for more dead dove recs!

🕊 LONG (>10k) 🕊
Of Blood & Carnations by rice_and_beans [Fleur/Hermione, E, 17.7k] 🖤 CW: Dubious Consent, Body Horror
The war is over. It is a time for healing. The Order has invested in a sort of intensive therapeutic house for our heroes to recuperate... So why does Hermione feel worse? Is she going mad? She's hearing voices, and she feels more and more that her body is not her own.
Clip, Ravel, Cleave by @vdoshu [Bellatrix/Andromeda, E, 15.2k] 🖤 CW: Sibling Incest, Possessive Behavior, Non-consensual Pregnancy, Addiction
Before Andromeda met Ted, she was a Black, through and through. While years later the story was told that she’d turned her back on her family’s dark ways, in truth, nothing was so simple. In the beginning, it was just Andromeda and Bella. And it was just the two of them until it was too much.
The Haunting of Pavenham Manor by @venom0usbarbie [Hermione/Pansy, E, 10.1k] 🖤 CW: Violence, MCD, Torture, Horror, Mind Manipulation
Her dead mother had asked her to return. To witness their past in Pavenham Manor with fresh eyes—those of the woman she had become, and not the child she once was. Pansy dreaded the delusions, the mania that seemed to overcome her mother eighteen years ago—but the estate was within her reach, so close she could touch it, feel it. So she agreed. To put the past behind her once and for all, to learn to forgive her mother, to forgive herself.

🕊 MEDIUM (3-10k) 🕊
Happy Birthday! by fandomgalore [Bellatrix/Andromeda, M, 8.6k] 🖤 CW: Offscreen Rape/non-con, Aftermath of Torture, Manipulation
Bellatrix's life as seen through sent and unsent birthday letters.
shake off your flesh, run from the light by @iamsiriuslyriddikulus [fem!Barty/fem!Evan, E, 6.6k] 🖤 CW: BDSM, Bloodplay, Knifeplay, Woundfucking, Drugged Sex, Murder
It starts with a confession. Beatrice never meant to let it slip, but the Firewhiskey loosened her tongue until she found herself leaning over to Evan and saying, “Sometimes I prefer to kill them with a knife.”
fuck or die (a little death) by foxglovetonic (nocturn) [Hermione/Bellatrix, E, 5.3k] 🖤 CW: Rape/non-con, violence, torture, bloodplay, forced drug use
“I thought you’d missed me.” Bellatrix traces one long nail across the girl’s cheek, then slaps her hard across the face. “We’ve got five more days to break this curse, and I intend to use them to the fullest.”
where dust was once man by @slashmarks [Narcissa/Lily, T, 3.4k] 🖤 CW: Necromancy, Dark Magic, Dubious Consent
Terrified of losing her son to the Dark Lord's plotting, Narcissa is haunted by the memory of another woman who faced the same threat.
As Easy As Breathing by @siriusly-sapphic [Dorcas/Narcissa, E, 3.1k] 🖤 CW: Cannibalism, Corpse Desecration, Blood and Gore
The First War is raging around them and Dorcas and Narcissa have found themselves on opposite sides. That little detail hasn't lessened their devotion to each other, and they're just as determined as they've always been to come out on top, together. They know just how to accomplish their goal, and all it takes is a touch of dark magic, some patience, a disregard for what's right. It's easy, really.

🕊 SHORT (<3k) 🕊
A Night at the Loo by @cntrl15 [Hermione/Narcissa, E, 2.5k] 🖤 CW: Rape/non-con, Mind Control
The conditions of Narcissa’s parole restrict her to house arrest, unless personally accompanied by her designated parole officer. Luckily for her, Hermione isn’t a very good parole officer.
Poster of a Girl by @leftsidedown [trans!Sirius/Bellatrix, M, 2.0k] 🖤 CW: Cousin Incest, Rape/non-con, Underage
It’s not a tragedy that she’s born a boy. Sirius loves all her older sisters, and they accept her too.
Five Things That Happend To Pansy Parkinson That She Wished Hadn't by Anonymous [Bellatrix/Pansy, E, 1.4k] 🖤 CW: Rape/non-con, Underage, Violence, Torture, Mind Control, Grooming
Bellatrix takes Pansy under her wing for the cause of the dark side and it all goes wrong.
Maraschino Red by @lumosatnight [Hermione/Luna, E, 1.2k] 🖤 CW: Cannibalism, Vore, Blood, Painplay
Luna eats blood for breakfast, limbs for dinner, and hearts for dessert. Luckily, Hermione has lots to spare.
The Perfume and Suppliance of a Minute by Lillielle [Hermione/Bellatrix, M, 260] 🖤 CW: Rape/non-con, Underage, Sex Under Imperius, Stockholme Syndrome
Hermione is lost, and Bellatrix has found her. At what price?
Death Eater Art Appreciation by @schmem14 [The Fat Lady/Alecto, E, 200] 🖤 CW: Rape/non-con, Extortion, Forced Exhibitionism
Alecto steals Gryffindor's entrance portrait for sick and twisted reasons.
desperately mine by @fantasyborn [Astoria/Daphne, M, 200] 🖤 CW: Sibling Incest, Infidelity, Non-consensual Voyeurism
Her sister may be set to marry Draco Malfoy but Astoria will always belong to Daphne.
You know what, fuck people who force writers to reveal their trauma in order to justify the stories they write. No consumer is owed an explanation for the content a creator creates, and no creator should feel obligated to draw from or admit to pain that may or may not be in their life in order to craft a work of fiction.
“I had an idea for a story” is all the justification you need to write one, and all anyone needs to let it be.
AO3 AND TUMBLR ARE NOT CHILD SAFE SPACES. Yes, it’s true that a lot of child safe spaces are being destroyed on the internet, but ao3 and tumblr are not those places and were never meant to be. LEARN TO CURATE YOUR OWN INTERNET EXPERIENCE OR GET OFF THE INTERNET.
I debated posting my latest fic to tumblr because I know it'll get some pushback... but that's the whole point, isn't it? For @hp-deaddovedecember:
A song for the moon and the stars is an A/B/O Dead Dove fic that is tagged appropriately. Honestly, I'm very proud of this fic because I wrote it for myself, disregarding whether anyone else would want to read it or like it. Check the tags, and dig in.
A Rat in the Drawing Room (Peter/Regulus, 1.6k, M) for @wormtailweek & @hp-deaddovedecember
Peter’s first task for the Death Eaters is a familiar one. He has years of practice watching over self-destructive Black men. (cw: Sexual assault by incapacitation)
AN: I had grand plans for Wormtail Week but then I got concussed, but I do love this dark little fic.
Something horrible about my favorite love-to-hate character. And little Regulus, my darling little boy with a frightening natural talent for Occlumency and Legilimency and a desperation for the escapism of downers. (Sorry, Regulus, I can only write terrible things happening to you, and I took the dub con inspiration and ran with it well past dubious territory.) Mind the tags.
Mixing up the Wormtail Week prompts: Dark Mark + Dub Con
Holidays with Hagrid (E) — Hagriddle (Rubeus Hagrid/Tom Riddle) — 636 words
While the rest of the castle attends the yuletide feast, Tom Riddle gives Hagrid a present. He hungers for a different type of holiday indulgence, after all.
TWs: implied rape/non-con; underage (unspecified, but implied Hogwarts-age)
My first work for @hp-deaddovedecember is this mini gift for @just-a-whorecrux — as always, please mind the tags before reading so you can curate your fandom experience!
“I thought you would be happy,” Regulus says, watching James’ jaw go slightly slack as he watches him run a bloody hand across his forehead to push the dark curls out of his face.
“I am. I am happy. I just,” a small giggle escapes James’ lips as he ran a russet tan hand through his own dark mess of curls. “I just didn’t get you anything.”
Dead Dove December and HP Chan Fest are literally NOT THE SAME THING. Dead Dove December has no rules, no age limits or minimums. It is not a fest. It has no official prompt list. It’s just a tag and a collection on AO3. The Dead Dove tag literally just means “what you see is what you get.” As in: if it’s on the label, that is what will be inside.
