The Choice We Already Made by peachipies

Summary:

Harry and Draco were trapped in 1940s Hogwarts with young Tom Riddle, and he was nothing like the monster from their history books. He was charming and brilliant and dangerous in ways that made their skin crawl. Every day under his watchful eyes, they found themselves drawn deeper into his web and closer to each other than they’d ever meant to be. The lines between enemy and ally blurred until they couldn’t tell which was more terrifying: Riddle’s growing interest in them, or the way they’d started to need each other to survive. Or what Harry and Draco thought they knew as history was only half the truth.

guy stuck in a timeloop who says "speedrun strats" out loud every time they discover a new weird thing they can do that leads to a good outcome while also making them look completely insane to everyone else in the vicinity

how to write monsters that actually scare and not sparkle

✦ first rule: don’t over-explain. once you give me the monster’s exact height, weight, claw count, and dental record, it’s not scary anymore. it’s a pokémon. mystery is the muscle. a shadow that almost looks human will always hit harder than a full description of a swamp beast. leave gaps. let the reader’s brain fill them in with their own worst fear.

✦ physics should not apply. horror monsters are terrifying when they break the rules of the world we think we understand. a body folding in ways it shouldn’t. joints bending the wrong direction. silence in a place that should echo. footsteps that sound like they’re coming from the ceiling instead of the floor. once you warp reality, the reader doesn’t feel safe in their own.

✦ chasing is fine. but waiting is worse. scarier than claws, scarier than snarling—try a monster that just stands in the corner and watches. even scarier? it smiles. because predators don’t smile unless they know something you don’t.

✦ let it act like it knows you. a growl is scary, sure, but a whisper of your name in the dark is worse. a hiss of your birthday. a laugh in your mother’s voice. monsters are no longer “other” once they feel personal. they’re invasive. they’re inside your head.

✦ bonus tip: give them wrong appetites. a monster that eats flesh is cliché. a monster that eats wallpaper? horrifying. one that eats memories, so a character wakes up without knowing their own name? disgusting. one that eats reflections from mirrors so you don’t see yourself anymore? revolting.

A Lost Interview with Clarice Lispector

[iamnmbr3]

besides Crabbe and Goyle, do you think Harry was the first wizard Draco’s age who Draco ever met, considering magical kids are apparently homeschooled/tutored until they go to Hogwarts? Or had he also already met Pansy, Blaise, Theo, the Greengrasses and/or other Slytherins before school?

No. I think he grew up spending time with the children of other wealthy blood supremacist pureblood families as well as kids of Lucius’s death eater buddies. I think the relationships were kind of like the relationships with Crabbe and Goyle in that they were somewhat transactional and based on respective social statuses.

that makes the fact that he tries to initiate a conversation with Harry even more interesting. Harry looks kind of scruffy and poor and also isn’t someone that Draco recognizes and yet he still wants to befriend him.
