Another one for @perceptual-prompts this time using Window and Sight

This time it's a fic implying that Percy is a reincarnated Helena Ravenclaw because i can--

no but really it's mostly just because of the idea of never being able to break a reincarnation cycle and them both leaving their respective families. Though technically if that is the case Percy does break the cycle since unlike Helena he doesn't lose his life over it or maybe the cycle is leaving in general and it doesn't always lead to the new persons death. uh yeah something like that I suppose.

“They say that if you visit the 7th floor right before midnight. Then make your way to the abandoned classroom across from the portrait of the witch in a yellow dress and look out the window overlooking the grounds you’ll see a reflection, but it won’t be of you. No one ever claims to see the same person and some even claim the person will follow you through other reflective surfaces. Some say that the person reflected will copy your movements as if you were looking in a mirror. Others claim you have to try to copy them yourself or the creature will drag you out the window,–”

Or where Percy gets curious about an urban legend he was told as a 2nd year and goes to see if it's real.

Usually

Perciver, E, 2.4k Fic by @lumosatnight Strip Chess, Chess As Foreplay, Fluff and Smut

Includes a real chess game!

This is Part 3 of my Really, Very series, a sweet and smutty Perciver series, but you do not need to read the previous parts to enjoy this one. Just a fun one-shot with one of my favorite rare pairs!

Written for the @perceptual-prompts 2023 challenge for the following prompts: enough, number, key, don’t lose your marbles. Also written for @weasley-jumpers 31 Days of Weasley challenge for the Day 11 prompts: Percy/Oliver, Flourish and Blotts, Wizard’s Chess.

Summary:

Percy and Oliver have a disagreement. They resolve it as they usually do — by playing strip chess.

Excerpt:

“Rules?” he asks, just to make sure.

“Let’s stick with classical.”

“And?” Percy prompts because he knows why Oliver wants to play chess. He just wants to hear him say it.

Oliver grins. If Percy wasn’t so pissed, he would return it. He’s always liked Oliver’s smile.

“One piece, one piece of clothing.”

“You’re going to regret it,” Percy warns.

Read it on AO3!
