Harry Potter and the Winchester Brothers

This is a blog dedicated to Harry Potter and the Winchester Brothers

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

[theconqueeror]

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

[mmmmmmmilo]

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

[niuniente]

You can sign the petition even if you are non-European. I recommend you do, as many of us fan content creators are indeed in Europe. We would also lose access to non-European fan creations, meaning less readers, less fans and less customers for your home-made merch, commissions and such for you.

[thefuzzycomic]

I’m reblogging this to FUZZY as this is extremely important. If I lose access to Tumblr, you will lose access to FUZZY. I would most likely even lose access to Webtoons, as it does have fan comics! Not to mention Patreon is not safe from this either.

[noonymoon]

PLEASE EVERYONE IN EUROPE SIGN THIS PETITION

WE CAN’T LET THIS HAPPEN !!!

[giganuramaki]

As a europpean fanartist, I’m directly affected by this shit. Give it some of your time if you can.

[majinorc-deactivated20181217]

Please help!

[prismatic-bell]

I checked because one of those links looks quite old, and this is in fact up to date for 2020.

[hpandthewb]

Yo, so, people have been posting this fic on other sites, and a few have been posting on Wattpad and taking credit for it. 

Please don’t.

I do give blanket permission for anyone to translate the fic, do podfics, or art. All I ask if simply please link it back to the main. Also, if you do any of those, I will boost and support the hell out of you.

But please don’t steal this. Listen, I know I take forever, but seriously, please don’t steal this. If you want to translate and post on a different site, just ask. I most likely will say yes, and more so, add the link into the story and direct people to it.

And yes, I know it’s just fanfiction, but claiming someone else’s work as your own - particularly fanfiction - is pretty low. I’m extremely agreeable. If you want to share the story on another site, god bless, go ahead. If you want explicit permission, I give it. It is fanfiction. Share as you want. 

Just please don’t take credit. I worked hard on this, despite my typos and whatnot, and so did my betas and the artists. Do what you like but try to link back.

Happy Holidays! Double Chapter Update!

My holidays utterly sucked. The bright side is the crap that made my holidays crap brought my sister, her husband, and I closer.

Also, I asked my six-year-old niece (who has down syndrome and therefore a limited amount of words she says crystal clearly) if she wanted to wish everyone that follow all my blogs happy holidays, and she said, and I quote: 

“No.”

She proceeded to give me a sloppy kiss and ask for chocolate. So, happy holidays, everyone, I give you my niece’s rejection.

"Death's own," Crowley announced, looking admirably at the weapon. "Kills… golly, demons and angels and reapers and, rumour has it, the very thing itself."

Dean took it slowly from the demon as he spoke, and Harry took a minute step away from it. The Elder Wand's runes on his skin grew hot in its presence, and he pulled on his sleeve to make sure even his hand was covered. It was a cautionary reaction, but Harry thought the runes' response didn't bode well for him at all.

Trying to cover his sudden anxiety, he commented, "Looks rather plain, don't you think?"

Sam gave him a stare that clearly was begging Harry not to be sarcastic over the situation. Harry shrugged a little at him and looked away.

Dean broke first, rounding on Sam with a sharp, "I told you one of us should have gone after him! I knew this would happen."

Sam fixed Dean with an annoyed glare. "Right, you knew Harry would go out and get himself an owl."

"He's Harry Potter! Something weird was going to happen!"

That’s right, lads

The owl thing is finally explained, Harry finally meets Death, and all of you’s who have been worried about the trust building between Harry and the others, relax. It’s okay. Hopefully, it’s entertaining dramatic angst, but it does end well.

The reason why this is another double chapter update is because chapter eleven ends in a major cliffhanger. I didn’t want to make you guys wait the months it takes me to update for the next. 

I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me so far. I have been absolute shit on answering and replying to comments, but I am really trying to do better. If there is a comment or question you are tired of waiting on, message me and I will answer the moment I’m able. 

Happy Holidays, again, to those who celebrate this time of year. And for anyone who has also had a crappy holiday season, hang in there. We can vent together if you want, hell tag me, but at the end of the day, it’s okay. Breathe. Whatever happened, whatever drama, it’s over now and we can recover.

Let’s start a new goddamn year.

[nanasamantha-deactivated2025020]

This is so fucking stupid. Why can’t artists and writers even give the option of pay? It’s not like anybody is holding a gun to reader’s heads forcing them to donate. It’s donated money! You’re telling me Article 13 removes people’s option to even donate???

[thebibliosphere]

Article 13 is causing all sorts of bullshit, but this is nothing new for Ao3 and it’s important for folk to know. Writers or anyone hosting content on Ao3 should never ever link back to a ko-fi or patreon or even mention needing donations due to legal restrictions placed on Ao3 in order to exist. If you are found out or reported, they can delete your account.

So the way Ao3 works? Is that the only way they can protect us from content creators and their legal teams, is to be like “hey, look, this is transformative work for fun! It earns no money!” And that’s how they get around what many authors still in this day and age think of as plagiarism and defemataion.

It’s actually in Ao3′s Terms of Services, not because they are monsters who don’t want you to thrive, but because it’s the only way to protect fan creators from the proverbial wolf at the door. I’m just old enough to remember when Anne Rice and Star Wars were going after people and filing official take downs for fan works and threatening to sue people. I know actual people who got real letters telling them to take down their fanzine or else.

And every time I see someone creating a patreon or ko-fi for the fanfic, my heart jumps up into my mouth. Like sure, let people know you have those things? But don’t have tiers that say things like “fanfic updates”. And for the love of god never post links to them in your Ao3. @deadcatwithaflamethrower nearly lost their account some years ago because they mentioned having a donation drive on their tumblr and someone reported them.

[nandamai]

How, HOW did we get to a point in fandom where fanfic has to be free to survive is no longer basic common knowledge?

[izhunny]

This why I nope back out of fics that blatantly list themselves a “commissioned works”

like that’s great i’m happy for you making some coin for your efforts but do that crap somewhere else before you compromise the site with your disregard and disrespect of how and why it operates.

make ya money on tumblr or anywhere else but ao3 is a nonprofit and you need to read the terms of service.

Chapters Posted!

{Scene toward the end of chapter nine}

[hpandthewb]

Three New Chapters Coming within the next few hours!

Hey guys!

I was hoping to do this much, much sooner, but here we are. In the next few hours, I will be posting chapters 8, 9, and 10! For your long, long wait, I give you these three chapters at once! Hopefully, you won’t have to wait nearly as long for the rest.

The next three chapters are (excerpts included):

Chapter Eight: King of the Crossroads (36 pages, 15694 words)

"I don't like it," Harry said. "I know, I know," Dean sighed, rubbing his face. "It's our best lead though." "And that's why you're my favourite," Crowley smirked. Harry scowled at him. "Kindly piss off." "And miss the chance to see how little it takes for you to go spare? Don't think so." "At least I'm not as bent as a nine-bob." "No, darling, you're just bent."

Chapter Nine: Pestilence (34 pages, 14761 words)

"Sam and Dean…" Cas said, sounding a bit careful. "They said that they saw you, with their own eyes, going toe to toe with Lucifer." "Yeah. And?" "And that should not be possible," he answered bluntly. Harry scoffed, watching Cas as Cas scanned the hallway, vigilant. "Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence." "You are powerful, Harry, don't get me wrong. And I remember sensing old power from your wand. But neither of you nor you combined should be powerful enough to meet Lucifer head-on."

Chapter Ten: Demon Deals and a Closed Bay (27 pages, 11989 words - WARNING FOR EXPLICIT SMUT)

In fact, Harry stopped listening to Dean altogether on the last stretch of road and just watched Dean talk. Dean was naturally expressive, eyebrows pinched in concentration on the road while the hand not on the steering wheel waved and gestured with his words. His lips would quirk every now and then, and he would glance over at Harry, as though checking he still had Harry’s attention. And though Harry probably wouldn’t be able to recall anything the man was saying - he thought it had something to do with cars - Dean definitely had his attention. He let his eyes roam over Dean, and his thoughts, undoubtedly let loose from drink, took a contemplative turn. It felt inevitable, in a strange, cosmic way. Dean felt inevitable. He was his own force of nature, as though he pulsed energy that Harry was innately gravitated toward.

*rubs hands* I’m excited to finally post again and share this with you! Thank you for your patience, and I do hope you like these.

A very loud and very grateful shout out to my beautiful betas @caty-314 and @zenithfall91. And of course the wonderfully talented @myrkky as well as @popjeckdoom for their amazing art!

US Equality Act 2019!

Do you know about the Equality Act currently in Congress? If no, allow me to tell you! 

(If yes, and you are leaning toward not supporting it, you can read this other post of mine. If yes, and you are already fully against it, please move on from this post or at least don’t be mean.)

The Equality Act is literally this:

“This bill prohibits discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in areas including public accommodations and facilities, education, federal funding, employment, housing, credit, and the jury system. Specifically, the bill defines and includes sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity among the prohibited categories of discrimination or segregation.

The bill expands the definition of public accommodations to include places or establishments that provide (1) exhibitions, recreation, exercise, amusement, gatherings, or displays; (2) goods, services, or programs; and (3) transportation services.

The bill allows the Department of Justice to intervene in equal protection actions in federal court on account of sexual orientation or gender identity.

The bill prohibits an individual from being denied access to a shared facility, including a restroom, a locker room, and a dressing room, that is in accordance with the individual’s gender identity.”

And what that means is that it gives LGBT+ people the exact same rights as other citizens. What it will not do is invalidate your religion, somehow legally give men a right to harm women in bathrooms, undermine anyone else’s rights, coerce medical professionals, legalize sexual assault, strip any parental rights from non-abusive parents, or… and yes, these are apparently concerns, shut down charities or allow men to defeat women in sports.

I have heard it said many times that we are corrupting the world because it seems like we have more  LGBT+ people now than ever before. This is not true. We just now have more out and public LGBT+ people, and that is because we are making the world safer and safer for them to simply be who they are.

Would you like to help keep human beings safe and give a large group of people the same rights as other citizens or even just learn more about the Equality Act? I’ve made it easier for you!

This website here is the Human Rights Campaign’s official website on the Equality Act. From there, there are links to support however you feel best.

If you would like to simply add your name in support of the bill, you can do so here. You can also add your name by texting COSPONSOR to 472472.

If you would like email or call your members of Congress in regards to this bill, you can do so here and here.

If you wish to email, the HRC has already drafted a basic email giving your support and asking for your member of Congress to pass the bill - so even if you have social anxiety, you don’t actually have to come up with anything to say yourself.

Don’t know who your members of Congress are? That’s okay! HRC will automatically email them based on giving them basic info of where you live. And yes, the website is secure and you are safe.

If you would like to get even more involved, here is how you can find events near you to join, here is how to become a grassroots lobbyist, and if you simply want to share your story as a member of the LGBT+ community, you can do so here.

Of course, all those links come straight from the HRC website, so if you would like to inform yourself further…

If you would like to read the bill for yourself, you may do so here.

If you would like information on what this bill could mean for employment, this is an interesting look. Or if you would like to read for yourself unlawful employment actions, that link had this one, also good to read.

And finally, if you would like to know how the bill is doing in general, you can click here.

If nothing else, thank you for taking the time to read!

“I told myself it was like that with everyone and learned to move on.

Meanwhile, I had my first major depressive episode spanning over a couple of years as a teenager and was extremely suicidal. It got a little better when I graduated and began at a local university because I was s t a r t i n g  m y l i f e. But then, during college, I had another major depressive episode spanning over a couple of years and was extremely suicidal. It got better again around that graduation because – for real this time – I was s t a r t i n g  m y l i f e. But then I got really depressed because I couldn’t find work, got a little better when I did find work, then went straight into yet another major depressive episode spanning several years during which I had varying degrees of being suicidal.

So yeah, phew, glad I learned to move on. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞”

Can we talk for a minute that in S6:E14, this is Dean’s phone background.

If you don’t recognise it, it’s the motel room and wallpaper of the motel they stayed at in E9 “Clap Your Hands if You Believe” where we have iconic parts such as:

And some time during all of this, Dean was chilling out on the bed, probably thought ha, I bet it will look like I’m outside, and took a picture of his boots, ankles crossed, with the wallpaper.

I fucking love Dean.

[hpandthewb]

Update Time!

Hey guys - figured it was time for an update. The betas are working hard to comb through my messes. I’ve been hoping to have any back-editing completed before posting, but we’ll see.

As it stands, here’s the running numbers:

Chapter 8: Pages 35; Words 15524

Chapter 9: Pages 33; Words 14518

Chapter 10: Pages 29; Words 11787

Chapter 11: Pages 25; Words 10310

Chapter 12:  Pages 27; Words 10703

Chapter 13: Pages 6; Words 2094

Clearly, the closer the chapter comes to Done and Ready (which chapter 8 and 9 pretty much are), the more pages. 

And unless the fic just completely gets away from us, we’re planning 15 chapters total for this, Harry Potter and the Winchester Brothers.

It will be a series (working title Harry Potter and the Afterlife and totally up for other suggestions), and the next in the series which will take place throughout Season 6 of SPN will be Harry Potter and the Monsters of Purgatory.

Please note, I recognise HPWB takes place only over a few episodes in season 5 and yet is massive - that doesn’t mean the next is going to be super, giant massive. This is massive because we’re establishing Harry solidly with them. The chapter count for the next will probably be just a few more than season’s episodes. (Still massive, probably, but here we are.) 

Also, thank you, everyone, for being so patient. We’re doing our best. :)

[szuddenly]

you think you want me to shut up? i have to listen to myself even when im not talking

[tooiconic]

wow this is a fucking mood

[anthonybrxdgerton]

Article 13 has been approved by EU. It’s worse than Net Neutrality has ever been. I don’t even know if we will have any access to Tumblr, Pinterest, Ao3 or even Instagram. Memes are probably dead, just like reactions, fanfictions and gifsets. Everyone in EU is in danger that they will not have access to their favorite sites. But I haven’t seen a SINGLE post about it on my dash because Americans doesn’t give a damn.

[ah-finally]

Also, I’m in Europe and ngl, had no idea this was even an article up for debate let alone it being fucking passed.

[unknownpoliticalobject]

Don’t panic! This was expected at this stage and it is only the beginning. If you are a European and feel passionate about this, please keep on reading and help!

So what has happened so far … the Commission has drafted up a long overdue copyright reform. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 It contains a lot of good, and some bad: mainly Article 11 and 13.

This was put forward as a whole to the European Parlament, where it was voted down on the 5th of July 2018

This meant, this will not go through the fast way, and will be subject to scrutiny and change. 

The Commission made some alterations https://eur-lex.europa.eu/procedure/EN/2016_280 and put it forward again. If Parlament would have voted it down again, it probably would have meant back to the drawing board, but most people (including me) agree that Europe does need copyright reform, so on the second vote it passed the first step:

So what happens now? 

This will now go into what is called the Trilogue, where Commission, Parlament and representatives of all national governments will sit together to make alterations until everybody is happy implementing the regulation.

This means we can now influence this via our MEPs and our National Government!

In countries that are red your government is likely to support Article 13.

What to do now?

There are a lot of organisations that organise actions against article 13. Check out their websites and get in touch with your MEP or local government and let them know you are unhappy about this.

https://www.saveyourinternet.eu/ 

https://epicenter.works/

https://www.changecopyright.org/

https://juliareda.eu/eu-copyright-reform/

… and many many more, just google to find one in your country.

Also, as @asthesea-breezehitsmylungs pointed out, a lot of people are not aware of this going on. So make them aware! Share the memes and point them to the petitions. And don’t just complain how shit this is, get in touch with your politicians!

[i-ran-away-without-a-map]

Oh good.

Yo, everyone, EU or not, please at least signal boost this shit. I’ve said it before and I will say it again: those two articles will suck majorly for all of us.

Like dude, how much time do you spend enjoying various things that relate to, Idk, your favourite show or book series. It’ll probs be gone. Funny memes and shit? Nah our generation doesn’t fucking need to laugh, it’s not like half of us are already depressed or anything. And so many other things that are cool about the internet, I’m not even gonna mention how some big, cool places like YouTube and Tumblr will be fucked by this.

So seriously, there’s only so much a small bunch of people can do. We need some noise on this. As much as I hate to admit it, some things require some fat numbres to be paid attention to. So even if you’re not planning on taking any action yourself, the best thing to do would be to spread this to everyone you trust to either get involved or pay it forward like you did.

And seriously, every little thing helps, ok? We should have a say in how the laws that deeply affect us are made.

[devikafernando]

SIGNAL BOOST

[suotar]

Signal boost again to all EU peeps. Keep pushing your MEPS.

[ministryofmagiclondon]

We are obviously very worried what will happen to our blog that we worked so hard for. With over 100 000 followers it would be devastating for it all to disappear. We urge everyone in Europe and especially everyone in Sweden to push the politicians to not implement article 11 and 13!!!

[rocket-sith]

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

Harry’s Birthday

I have apparently, and accidentally, mind, confused people. I’m sorry!

Here’s the deal with Harry’s birthday. 

So, he died in the Battle of Hogwarts, which was in May. He landed in the SPN in October. 

So, for the record, no, I have no idea if that was the time it was for SPN’s storyline. It was a decision made when this fic JUST started. I got stuck with it. At any rate, I’m so sorry if my math is just as bad as JKR, but I tried to do something with it.

More specifically, the time between HP May’s Battle of Hogwarts and his birthday v when he landed in the SPNverse. I thought I’d make it Christmas for symbolism sake.

Again, sorry. I know I’ve confused people. I think (hope) that if you’re just reading it through, it makes sense. Not when you’re just reading sporadic updates. 

:/

[hpandthewb]

Progress Update!

Major progress over the last 24 hours!!!!

Chapter eight is completed and simply waiting for this fic’s new betas!! @caty-314 and @zenithfall91 have both agreed to be betas, bless them so much, and of course, as always, the wonderful artist @myrkky has access to all in progress work and is free to do any beta’ing they want and see fit!

There are a few things stalled in chapter 9 that I will be asking for the betas help with, and I am writing on chapter 10. A super surprise ending that the betas don’t even know about (hehehehehehehe) is awaiting the end of that one.

For those excited about timeline things:

I know loads have asked, and it has changed, from time to time, but as it stands right now: Chapter 11 will end on a Death cliffhanger, and Harry will officially come face to face with Death in chapter 12. Chapter 12 will also resolve the “owl thing”. It will be a touching moment for Harry, and when introduced to the others, hopefully hilarious.

And because other people have asked: the ending of chapter 6, right after the showdown with Lucifer, was not Harry “breakdown” (the breakdown I warned for but that Dean would be there to make okay). That will also be chapter 12. I will throw out loads of warnings for those who can’t or don’t want to deal with super angsty stuff, including letting everyone know when it starts and stop with tumblr links for a summary of the scene so you can skip it.

(I personally don’t think it will get too dark, but then again, when it’s my writing, I’m always way too close to it. Also, I know what will happen, so I don’t worry about it lol. Again, you have my assurances that, though the moment will suck, it will be okay.)

Finally, in consideration to Harry and Dean’s romance: Some have reached out concerned that despite the development in the last chapter posted, nothing else will happen for a while. I promise Harry/Dean is and will not be forgotten. You will have to suffer through chapter 8 with them not kissing (just barely), but things will progress. We had some fun with oblivious!harry, get ready for clued-in!harry. Them sexually v romantically, those are developing at different paces (I did tag this Slooooow for a reason), but every single chapter there will be development.

Also, an absolutely amazing and wonderful person asked me to please not do “sex for comfort”. Depressingly, I have found that difficult considering the circumstances in the last few episodes in season 5. But! I think I found a way to heed this request for at least the start of Dean’s and Harry’s journey.

As such, I would like to take a moment to specially thank @zabyth who messaged me to reassure me on this fic, and to whom I was in no position to reply. I want you to know, I have read your messages many times at different points to continue to reassure myself. (Your reassurances had nothing to do with Harry/Dean nsfw things, but still.) Thank you. This fic continues because of yours, and others’, reassurances and kind words and support.

And I’m so sorry to have been so absent.

I love all you guys!
