FINAL WEEK FINAL REVEALS

When You're With Me, Baby, The Skies Will Be Blue For All My Life by Lonely_Parrot (rating G)

Summary: Prompt: Prim and propper Regulus who never ever has even dreamed of anyone like that now has to court and find a respectable spouse and produce an heir as his brother was just not going to do it. Lets follow him along on a couple of awkward courting dates trying to navigate his lack of and somewhat emerging desires for something, tho he is not sure of what. The longer he tries the more sure he is of his wants and desires for calm and peaceful life. Will he get to have that, or was he simply hiding in the shadows hoping to not get singled out because of his.. quirks. What does he really want and does he have the courage to go after it. Well, this, with Moonwater and trans Reggie :)

confessions, brain worms and sprinkles by colourful_desert (rating T) Summary: He knows what he wants to say, but it's like the words refuse to leave his bloody brain. The gap between abstract and concrete feels impossible to bridge, but he really does need to do it. Somehow he just, needs to get it out. Not only for his own peace of mind, but for the sake of his relationship with James. or Regulus has decided it's time to tell James he's asexual, but between coming to terms with this aspect of his identity and the new feelings testosterone has stirred up in him, things aren't as simple as he'd like.

In The Back Of My Mind, You Died/ And I Didn't Even Cry by Lonely_Parrot (rating E) Summary: Prompt: Everyone thinking Barty Crouch Jr. is hypersexual, but he’s actually a sex repulsed asexual. Basically, that, with its fair share of angst, but no eating disorder nor suicide attempts/ideation

[hpacearofest]

week 3 day 2

Fifteen Years Later by MidnightStargazer (rating T) Summary: Over the years, Parvati Patil remains single while her friends and loved ones pair off. She has no desire for a partner or spouse, but that doesn't mean it's easy remaining single in a world centered around romantic couples and nuclear families. Yet, she's determined to find happiness in her own way.

walking contradiction by colourful_desert (rating T) Summary: Remus Lupin feels like a walking contradiction sometimes. He longs for touch, and yet he recoils from it in most settings. What Remus didn't expect was that, as he realised he'd started developing feelings for Sirius — who was always so open with his platonic affection — Sirius would be withdrawn with him in turn. It's funny how that works, how their roles seem to have swapped in public versus private spaces. or My spin on the prompts "ace remus who loves affection but is really uncomfortable with PDA" and "ace4ace wolfstar" with a bonus sprinkle of wholesome doggy cuddles <3

The stars in the sky Bring tears to my eyes by Dory_thewritingfish (rating T) Summary: Remus soon has a heart surgery, and he is asexual. he does have to tell it Sirius, is first and new boyfriend. He wonders if Sirius will accept him, when he tells him….

Oh little one, I will protect you by Dory_thewritingfish (rating G) Summary: Regulus is Trans, he always thought, that sex just wasn't for him, due to his dysphoria. He is asexual, now he has to tell James that, which scares him, despite knowing that James accepts him no matter what.

Little does he know that a moment of inattention will turn his whole life upside down.

not broken, merely different by fictional_simp09 (rating T) Summary:

Ever since he was little, James always knew what his picture-perfect life would be like. He would marry a beautiful woman, have a bunch of children, be a professional Quidditch player. When he first saw a smiling redhead as she ran towards the Gryffindor table after she was sorted, rolling her eyes at something Sirius, who he met earlier on the train, said to her, he knew she was the one he would fulfil his dreams with. But sometimes, romance feels like a chore, feels disgusting, and he can't figure out what is wrong with him.

~ OR, Lily helps James realise he is aromantic, and then they have a queerplatonic relationship

[hpacearofest]

hi! i wanted to get some clarification on the fest policy for including ace/arophobia in fics. the rules here say that any and all content is allowed as long as it follows ao3 TOS and is tagged appropriately, but the discord says no aphobia or other hateful ideologies in fics? as someone writing from personal experience i often include at least internalized acephobia in my fics, and some of the prompts include acephobia as plot points and stuff

The rules on the tumblr post are the current rules, I did not update the ones on discord (will be updating that shortly). There is no mention of aphobia being banned in the rules on the discord server, though. If you see something that say that, please point it out to me and I can revise that.

The "no hateful ideologies" is meant to keep people from creating works that have ace/aro-phobic messages. By which I mean works that paint those ideologies in a positive light and thus are spreading hate.

Now your work doesn't have to end with a happy ending like fixing all phobia in the world but I do want to keep this fest having a more positive light shone on ace/aro identities instead of hate.

I understand that facing these struggles are a part of real life for all of us in the community and I do not wish to downplay that real impact. At the same time, I do not wish to discourage people from creating a work that will be amazing and helpful for them to create so be mindful of the overall message that is being conveyed by including that element.

[hpacearofest]

I read through the guidelines and don't think this was mentioned, so apologies if it was already and I just missed it! Are we allowed to talk about the fest and what we're writing outside of the discord server?

Yes, you are allowed to talk about the work you are creating outside of the discord server! The fest is not anonymous or anything like that so you are allowed to discuss it anywhere you like.

The server is more just an explicitly aroace spec friendly space for HP fans to gather as well as to discuss the fest.

[hpacearofest]

Hiiii, can we cowrite ?

Yes! There are no restrictions to how many authors collaborate on a work, as long as the work completed still follows the rules of the fest!
