Hi everyone, I keep writing this thing here. It includes a dysfunctional horcrux family, domestic horror (or bliss?), and now even some plot! Have a quote:
To find a room of forgotten things again is not a challenge Harry expected: the same tether that seals his lips tugs him and bothers him when he is half asleep, until he dons his invisibility cloak and slips away from Gryffindor tower close to midnight. It leads him all the way to the seventh floor, it insists that he pace three times before an empty wall, until a familiar door blooms into existence.
Silence is liminal.
Diadem waits for him, regal and impatient, where he left it.
“Ah,” he whispers in Harry’s head, “you came. Good.”
Harry does an intake of air, and suddenly his feet are cold from a way he made barefoot, and he is tired, and his memory of how he got here is incomplete.
Anger comes next. It is a quiet, instinctive sort, a little viper in the grass. Familiar companion, reserved for his Uncle, for Snape, for Lockhart, even. For any man who is bigger and stronger, who punishes and controls - for now, this anger always whispers. For now.
“What did you do to me?” Harry asks darkly.
“Ensured that you will come to me again, brother. My diary is wreaking havoc, isn’t he?”
“So it’s him.”
“Of course. You have figured that out already, haven’t you? Handwriting. Clever.”
“Is yours the same?”
“It is.” Harry feels a smile behind that voice, and he doesn't like it one bit.
“What are you? What is he?” he tries.
“What he said: old memories, stuffed away out of sight, out of mind.”
It does not explain anything. Except it bears the question: if one memory was so strong that it made Hogwarts such a cold and dangerous place, what can another, older, stronger one do? How long was it there, sitting innocently right in the heart of his home?

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”
— Francesca Coppa, “Introduction to The Dwarf’s Tale,” The Fanfiction Reader (via francescacoppa)
Someone put it into words. I gotta sit down
(Why does this belong on my decidedly not-fan-fiction-related blog, you ask? Because this quote illustrates very well how assuming that anything where people put sex in it is debasing it, objectifying it, or simply ‘sexualizing’ it, etc. often misses a lot of the real picture of why people do that thing.)
