How obsessed and hyper-fixated are you with your fanfic characters?
Me:
BOOKBINDING!
Ominis and Phineas now sit on my shelf along with my other books ♡
This was my first time binding fanfic, and no better choice than my own, "Take Me To The Lakes" (AO3 / Wattpad)
update (March 30): New cover art by the amazing @rinthecap 🩵
More photos and the step-by-step after the cut! (+ the appendix with Taylor Swift songs in a stylised lyric book)
I'm all about my crafty hobbies. I've been eyeing bookbinding for a while, and the algorithm finally convinced me to dive into it so I'd have a reason to procrastinate on writing
Having written a shorter fic ("Lakes" is roughly 35k words) gave me the perfect opportunity to start with something simpler.
The main tutorial used is the one by NeatFreakGeek on Tiktok.
Step 1: The typeset
I used the base template file by NeatFreakGeek, which already had the settings for printing in formatted book signatures.
With the basic body of the document formatted and ready, I started the personalization: choosing the fonts, spacing, sizing etc.
For the quote at the beginning, I chose one of the lines I wrote for Ominis + the wisteria.
For chapter headers, I chose the Gemini constellation. (In the story, Ominis and Phineas got their middle names from the stars in the same constellation, Castor and Pollux.)
I also made the chapter titles with the HTV to give it an extra glow.
Sight is overrated. Phineas makes all my senses the very essence of life itself.
Since the story was rather "short", in order to have a thicker spine, I added an appendix with the stylised "lyric book". This was probably my favourite part of typesetting!
Step 2: The textblock
With a little lot of trial and error and more mathematics than expected, I printed each signature at a time, then folded each at a time, making sure it didn't get mixed up across the signatures. My printer does front/back automatically, but to print the commissioned arts as borderless, I gave myself a headache, printing it separately and manually. This step could have been done considerably faster with a laser printer and b&w content only :)
Next, it was sewing and glueing. I won't go into detail here because the video tutorials are way better at explaining. All in all, with the right tools, this was done rather easily and with barely any mistakes, so I didn't have to print anything again, thankfully.
Step 3: The endpapers
I got a scrapbook 12x12in block in this abstract colours. I had many different ideas on how to match the theme, but I ended up choosing these colourful patterns that align with how Ominis perceives the world. Then, I added the quotes from the story.
The endpaper of the front got this sky-like print to go with the dialogue Ominis and Phineas have when they are children.
P: How would you know what blue skies look like?
O: I don't know. And I don't mind not knowing.
The endpaper of the back is in green x blue shades, colours that are also a big part of the story. For the quote, I chose one of their last lines when their relationship is established.
P: Ominis, you always care too much about the others... but who takes care of you?
O: No one ever did.
P: Let me care for you. Please. Let me love you, Ominis Gaunt.
O: Will it make any difference if I say no?
P: Absolutely not.
O: Will it make any difference if I love you back?
P: Fucking absolutely yes.
Step 4: The cover! (Yes, the most interesting part!)
This was the most challenging step in both the conception of the design (too many ideas to choose from) and the execution (I've never hated box cutters so much.)
With the basic cardboard casing cut and glued, I chose a faux leather material as a book cloth. This might be the choice I regret the most, because the glue it comes with is not that strong, so it would often unstick easily, and also, it's a bit too thick, leaving the corners a bit weird. But the final result was a bit worth it.
For the cover design, I printed the art with fabric HTV and ironed it on. On top of it, I threw in some wisteria petals (a reference to the song "the lakes", by Taylor Swift), and another quote of the story at the back.
I didn't have a cricut machine back then for the vynil pieces, so I ordered it online. This part was harder than I thought, once again because of the faux leather choice: as I ironed the HTV, some parts of the material melted lol.
Lastly, I decided last minute to create a clear dust jacket because the combination of the faux leather + printed HTV seemed tro fragile to be handled. I liked the final result, but ironing the HTV on the acetate was a pain lol.
In summary, this was so much fun and not as hard as I expected, craft-wise. The designing of it all took the most time just because I wanted every little detail to have a meaning :)
I made two copies to gift one to a friend, so it gave me the opportunity to make the first one and mess it up, then, for the second one, I had already learned from my mistakes.
There are many things I'd do differently for my next binds, but that's the most fun part: experimenting with materials, themes, and processes.
I've been mostly inactive here on tumblr but this one is not as overwhelming as most tags so here we go 🤭

I think most of yall have been tagged but anyway no pressure tags!!! @katmontesino @endless-starlight-legacy @theladyofshalott1989
This hit home, and I think it will resonate hard with all my creative friends, here. You are amazing and brilliant and I BEG YOU to keep creating!! ❤️❤️❤️
Finish reading a fanfic and feel awful about one's own writing then proceed to try and create works "as good as" that story. Or try to replicate that authors writing.
Scroll through social media for what fandoms are popular right now to see where you can join and get your writing seen.
Take in every piece of writing advice there is and then stress, trying to create an award-worthy fanfic story.
Crying because you can't describe your bedroom scene the way your fave fanfic writer did in their story; or because you can't describe your character's facial features like the way the advisors of writing on Tumblr said you should.
I must include this and exclude that to get my fanfic-writing respected and seen
I'm nervous about whether others will like or hate my work when I share
I don't wanna write, I have no inspo, but I must write cause I'm in this fandom that's hot right now and all my fellow writers in said fandom are posting
What fanfic-writing started as and should be;
You enjoy a piece of media, art, song, etc., you're hungry for more and so you write an extension of the universe to include stuff you wanted to see, that the original creator didn't include. No rules, no standards, and no restrictions.
Excited to just write and share a work. If others love it, it's a plus
If you want to write excellent fanfics, that's very fine as long as you're having fun and you're not stressed.
do fic readers know that their comments actually influence the course of the story sometimes? i don't mean in a "you need to write it this way because i say so 😡" type of comment, i mean when people are asking questions or really engaging with the plot and the themes in the comments they sometimes bring up things that i didn't even think of, or dig into parts of the story that i've overlooked, or get really interested/fixated on something i was going to just kind of glance over--and it has me going 'oh wait that's actually really interesting, that's a good point' and fully adding or tweaking or changing things about the story going forward. i'm literally adding an entire additional chapter to something right now because someone's comment had me like "oh i didn't dig into that as much as i could have." you have impact!
It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.
Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.
You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.
You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.
Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?
Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?
I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.
Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.
For some reason I have this urge to draw watery atmosphere, after doing some 'plants'. And somehow the image of Omi+Tris and water is just....*chef's kiss*
Thank you for giving me the honor to draw her gorgeous MC, Tris. Love love looooove Tris and her version of Omi so much!!!
I hope i did them justice <3

Something funny happened today... I actually published my very first one-shot... ever 🤭
I wrote this short story (about 1.2k words) specifically for the NSFW Fairy Tale writing event on the Our Hogwarts Legacy Server on Discord, which I have been challenged to participate into at the last reading event in December.
It is a Beauty & The Beast AU with characters from the Hogwarts Legacy video game where Sebastian has been transformed into a beast because of the relic. Yeah, that's pretty much all you need to know for this 😂

I know he's rolled on his side because though his voice is low, I can hear it closely, right in front of me. Too close. He says,
"Don't you want to put a face to the person you hate so much? So you can have a clear picture of me while you think about all the loathing?"
As if I need to know what he looks like when I already think about him all the time. "Putting a face to it would only make it harder."
"Make what harder?" He chuckles faintly at his own joke, but I can hear right through him. The hesitant, insecure, and vulnerable boy I once knew is still there.
"Harder to hate you."
Grasping my wrists, he traps my hands between his face and his palms. "Let's make it worse, then."

I stop devouring his neck and shut my eyes to think. Ominis has never done this before, whatever this is. He must be so overwhelmed—we just kissed for the first time a few hours ago, it's not like we are ready to f*ck tonight. (As much as I desperately want to.) There's still a lot to happen in between.
Like, for example, there are so many questions I want to ask first: Is this really happening? Minutes ago, when he said his feelings for me were deafening, did he mean it? Is my heart allowed to burst out of my chest, or is this, whatever this is, just a fleeting thing induced by the heat and carefreeness of summer? Does he want more? As in, does he want to keep doing this for, like, the rest of our lives? Does he want to live by a lake one day, or would he prefer the sea? What are his thoughts on children? Is it alright if I call him my love, or sweetheart, or just Ominis?
But asking any of those questions would be too awkward. I ask the only sensible thing possible.
"Can I blow you?"

I heard Natty entering the dormitory, and the sound of her steps grew louder as she got closer to me.
"The moon is beautiful tonight..." I breathed out.
She leaned by the window, attempting to make eye contact. "I know dreamy eyes when I see them, Carolyn," Natty mocked.
I blushed. "Do you think he knows, Natty? How I feel about him?" I grabbed a pillow and held it close to my chest.
"Well... I surely hope he does. The endless letters during summer. The excessive amount of time you spend together. That canvas right there he gifted you. Honestly, I am surprised you two are not dating yet."
"The canvas?" I glanced at the Iceland painting and wrinkled my nose. "Oh no... I am definitely not talking about Sebastian Sallow."
She tilted her head to the side, lifting one eyebrow. "What? Who are you talking about, then?"
"Natty..." I breathed out heavily. "I... I fell for him."
I gazed at the moon again.
"I am in love with Ominis Gaunt."

"It's Me, Hi, I'm the Problem, It's Me" // An Ominis Gaunt/Phineas Black II & Sebastian Sallow/Damien Evans One-Shot
For @mscostac <3
If you haven't read her wonderful fic "Take Me to the Lakes (I Hate It Here)", WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO. I'll wait.
Summary: Sebastian somehow managed to land a double date with another universe’s Ominis and his partner, Phineas. How? Damien, of course. Phineas and Ominis simply adored Damien. But why did they hate Sebastian so much? He’s determined to find out.
Or, Sebastian makes a fool of himself, all in the name of satisfying his curiosity. Anti-hero? More like anti-finesse.
Word Count: 2,790
[ AO3 Link ]
This version of Ominis didn’t like him for some reason, which was truly a shame because Sebastian quite liked his partner, Phineas Black. No, not that Phineas Black. The headmaster’s son, in fact. Yes, that one.
Not that Phineas liked Sebastian all that much either. They both seemed to adore Damien though. It was the little things.
Speaking of Damien, where in Merlin’s name was he? Sebastian pulled his pocket watch out of his robe and glanced at the time. Damien should have been here fifteen minutes ago! He sighed. That was, frankly, on Sebastian. He should have told Damien an earlier time to ensure he wouldn’t be late.
Phineas and Ominis were chatting amongst themselves on the sofa in the communal Undercroft, the one that served as a portal between the various universes. Yes, that was a thing that had been established last year. It was all very timey-wimey, and not something that Sebastian really wanted to think about right now.
Phineas and Ominis though… What sort of scheme were they up to? Sebastian hadn’t the foggiest idea, but it nagged at him.
Even though they seemed to barely tolerate him, Phineas and Ominis had agreed to go on a double date with Sebastian and Damien today. To be perfectly honest, Sebastian had been somewhat hesitant to agree to the idea, mainly because he found Ominis and Phineas’s relationship a tad bit confusing. It was far less established than Sebastian and Damien’s, likely because in their universe it seemed that the wizarding world wasn’t as accepting of same-sex relationships. At least from what Sebastian could tell. But Sebastian digressed.
They were whispering again, probably about him. You know what? Sebastian was going to address the Erumpent in the room.
“Hey!” he said, interrupting the two lovebirds’ secret plotting. “Why do you hate me so much?”
Ominis’s mouth formed a straight line. He… glared? No, not exactly. Obviously. But the sentiment conveyed was certainly one of deep loathing. Phineas brought his hand to his mouth, presumably to hide a chuckle. Oh yes, he was definitely laughing. The telltale eye crinkle gave it away.
“Hate is a very strong word,” Ominis said.
Sebastian crossed his arms over his chest. “It’s accurate though, right?”
“Oh yes, it’s quite accurate.”
“I thought so.”
Phineas placed a hand on Ominis’s thigh, patted it lightly, then said, “Ominis—”
“Don’t worry, Phineas. I’m not going to tell him why.”
“What? Why not?” Sebastian scoffed, miffed but also taken aback. That seemed rather unfair. It wasn’t like he’d known either of them long enough to invoke such animosity. At least, he assumed.
“Who knows what divulging that sort of information would do to our various universes,” Ominis stated.
“We’re here, fraternizing with each other,” Sebastian said. “I’m quite certain it would be fine.”
Ominis hummed thoughtfully. “Alright, fine. You caught me out. I don’t really care. I just don’t think you deserve to know."
“Bash doesn’t deserve to know what?” Damien said, ducking under the gate leading into the Undercroft as it creaked open. He never waited for it to open fully before entering. Most likely because he was always rushing to meet up with people on account of his habitual tardiness.
Phineas laughed. “I’ll never get used to you calling him ‘Bash.’”
“Why? It suits him.”
“Maybe it suits your Sebastian,” Phineas replied, removing his hand from Ominis’s thigh and waving it in the air in a nonchalant manner, “but certainly not ours.”
Damien was only half listening as he had leapt over to Sebastian and drawn him in for a deep kiss, even going so far as to dip him slightly. Sebastian would have protested if he hadn’t been struck dumb by Damien’s enthusiasm. Instead, he surrendered to the kiss, totally and fully. Damien had a tendency to make him more compliant than usual. Not that he’d ever admit that out loud.
When he’d recovered, and adjusted his trousers accordingly, as they were, erm, rather tight and uncomfortable now, Sebastian said, “Someone’s in a good mood.”
“Damien’s always in a good mood,” Phineas piped back in, jumping up from his spot on the sofa. “That’s why we like him so much. Well, one of many reasons.”
As Damien’s cheeks flushed, Ominis added, “He also doesn’t pester us with asinine questions.”
Ominis then followed Phineas’s lead, just slower and more deliberately, wiping ash off his robes, since earlier Phineas and Ominis had been smoking.
Sebastian always found that fascinating to watch. He might have asked to “borrow” a cigarette, to give it a go, if he knew they wouldn’t turn him down outright. He vaguely wondered if Damien would find Sebastian smoking alluring. Come to think of it, probably not. Damien had a fondness for the outdoors: fresh air, the fragrance of blooming flowers, all the simple pleasures nature offered. Not that Sebastian felt the need to always please Damien. No, of course not! He was his own man.
“Earth to Sebastian,” Ominis said, stepping toward the exit. “Phineas asked you a question.”
“Oh!” Sebastian stammered as Damien chuckled beside him. “I missed it. Mind repeating that?”
Phineas grinned. “I wanted to know if you’re always this besotted. It might convince me to like you more, in fact.”
Sebastian opened his mouth to offer a barbed retort, then closed it, then opened it again. How was one supposed to respond to that? Was it an insult or a compliment? A little bit of both?
Damien answered for him. “Sebastian may not admit it, but he’s very romantic.”
“Am I?”
Damien grabbed his hand and squeezed. “You said you loved me first.”
“I did, didn’t I?”
“The circumstances weren’t ideal, but yes, you did.”
Sebastian laughed nervously. “Well, I’m glad you don’t fault me for the circumstances…”
“Never." Damien squeezed his hand again and pecked the apple of his cheek. Sebastian felt his face grow hot, betraying him.
Ominis and Phineas were silent, their heads tilted to the side, echoing each other in their curiosity. “Care to divulge that story?” Ominis asked.
“Hm,” Sebastian said, tapping his chin thoughtfully with his free hand. “I think not.”
“Fine, like I care,” Ominis shot back, sweeping through the now open gate, his robes whipping behind him.
Sebastian snickered under his breath. Two could play that game.
Ernie Lark was in top form today. Most likely because Damien had thrown a sack full of Galleons his way, so he was playing every single instrument he owned, which was truly a wonder to behold. How anyone managed to juggle so many, even with magic, was beyond Sebastian’s comprehension. But, to be fair, he didn’t have a talent for music. That was more Damien's forte.
Sebastian, Damien, Ominis, and Phineas were enjoying tea outside on this brisk spring day at Steepley and Sons Tea Shop. Damien sipped his Earl Grey, hot, with the lightest dusting of sugar and cream, per usual. Sebastian’s tea was also sweet, but much, much more so: six cubes of sugar, no less. He typically forewent cream, but today was the exception. He poured some in right now, distracted by Damien’s hand on his thigh, kneading it gently. So distracted was he that it took him far too long to notice his tea was overflowing and spilling out onto the lace tablecloth. Oops.
Phineas raised a brow, but kept silent. The lack of verbal chastisement was more for Ominis’s sake than Sebastian’s. At least Sebastian assumed. For Ominis and Damien were leaning back in their chairs, their eyes closed, their heads bobbing along with the music, completely enraptured. Damien and Ominis had similar taste in music, it seemed.
Phineas and Sebastian glanced at each other knowingly. Some camaraderie for once; how novel!
Ernie finished his set. Ominis and Damien came back to life to clap for his stirring performance. Damien was a bit more enthusiastic with his praise. Okay, a lot more. He could be quite energetic when he was in good spirits. Sebastian found it incredibly endearing. He glanced down at his lap to hide his smitten expression.
But alas, he was too late. Someone had seen.
“Bash, care to share with the class?” Phineas asked.
“Share what?” Sebastian fidgeted in his chair, then grabbed his tea cup and downed the whole thing in one go. It was a wonder he didn’t choke.
Ominis took a much smaller sip of his tea, then set it back down on the table delicately. “Up to no good, Sebastian?”
Phineas merely chuckled.
“Lies! Lies and slander!” Sebastian retorted. “I was not.”
“Bash, what were you doing?” Damien interjected, his tone wary.
“Not a thing, I assure you! Why is it that I’m always suspected of some underhanded enterprise?”
All three responded in unison:
“You’re a scoundrel, that’s why.” That was Ominis, of course.
Phineas next: “Don’t ask me! I’m innocent.”
“Well…” Damien! Even Damien! Et tu, Brute?
Sebastian pouted. “It’s unjust, that’s what it is. Unjust!”
“Aww, Bash, come here,” Damien said, reaching out for Sebastian with his long arms.
Sebastian scooched his chair back. “No.”
Damien, however, would not be so easily deterred. With a decisive lean forward, he seized the armrest of Sebastian’s chair and effortlessly tugged him back into place. Then, in his usual manner, he cupped Sebastian’s head in his hands and placed a light kiss upon the tip of his freckled nose. “There. Better?” he inquired.
Sebastian grumbled. Phineas chuckled as he explained to Ominis what Damien had done, then Ominis, too, burst into hearty laughter.
Sebastian exhaled in resignation. Well, better to be the butt of everyone’s joke than scorned, or ignored entirely, he supposed.
Come to think of it… If he could worm his way into Ominis and Phineas’s good graces, perhaps they’d reveal why they held him in such contempt. Yes, yes… He needed to know. And Sebastian would find out, no matter how much of a fool he had to make himself. The things he endured for the sake of knowledge.
Damn, Damien was already suspicious. Perhaps Sebastian had overplayed his hand.
“Sebastian,” Damien said, “I can’t exactly stroll through the gardens with your arms draped over my shoulders. What was wrong with merely holding hands again?”
“I just wanted to be closer to you,” Sebastian tried, kicking himself internally.
Damien shrugged out of Sebastian’s firm hold. “Mhm, a likely story.” He narrowed his eyes.
This was Ominis and Phineas’s fault! If they were just a bit more romantic with each other, Sebastian’s attempts wouldn’t stand out like a Mandrake being pulled out of a pot in the library. Oh, there was an idea…
No, Sebastian! Focus!
Damien must have been thinking along the same lines, as he cleared his throat and said, “Ominis, Phineas, I know it can be difficult to express yourselves when you’re so used to… well, holding back, but truly, there’s no need for that here. You can just be yourselves.” Damien finished with a sympathetic pat on Ominis’s back.
Sebastian braced himself for Ominis to protest—vehemently, at that—so he was beyond shocked when Ominis simply nodded. Curtly, of course, but still. Then, without a word, Ominis extended his hand for Phineas to take.
Phineas’s eyes widened. He clasped Ominis’s hand without hesitation. As he did so, his face broke out into a stunning smile.
“Thank you, Damien!” Phineas exclaimed. “I knew I liked you.”
Sebastian sighed. He was doing a lot of that today. He didn’t bristle at the undue praise for Damien though. That wouldn’t do. Not if he wanted his plan to pan out.
“So,” he began, drawing out the word longer than he probably should have, but he was thinking, dammit! “Care to explain to me why you dislike me so much now?” Sebastian might be a cunning Slytherin, but impatience, ultimately, won out.
Ominis was about to open his mouth, probably to say no, when the unlikely quartet were interrupted by… Sebastian. Another one, that is. Intriguing.
“Ominis!”
Ominis swiveled around at the ferocity in the other Sebastian’s tone.
“Where’s Carolyn?” Sebastian’s other self exclaimed, wiping away at a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead. Had he run all the way here?
Sebastian inspected his counterpart up and down, then down and up. My, this Sebastian was rather fit, wasn’t he? And tall… How was he so tall? By Salazar’s beard, could he spare an inch or two? It wasn’t like he needed it. Ominis was tall and he somehow even towered above him!
“How am I supposed to know?” Ominis spat back, dropping Phineas’s hand. Phineas’s face fell.
The other Sebastian stared at the empty space that now separated the pair. “What are you doing?” he asked, his bushy brown eyebrows raised.
Sebastian was feeling a bit dizzy. He wasn’t sure he liked seeing his counterpart in this state. He wasn’t sure if he liked seeing his counterpart at all. Especially since he was so dashing. The anger part was also a bit disorienting. He couldn’t recall the last time he was this furious. He certainly had his moments, but that was before Damien, before Anne was cured.
“Who’s Carolyn?” Damien asked, breaking through Sebastian’s musings. Good question, D. Good question.
The other Sebastian narrowed his eyes at Damien, and then stumbled back upon spotting Sebastian next to him. Ah, there it was.
“You’re me,” he said to Sebastian.
“Ten points to Slytherin,” Sebastian replied.
For two beats, his counterpart merely stood there, jaw slack. But then, he shook his head, and resumed his interrogation of Ominis, bearing down on him like a troll in a china shop.
Hah! Sebastian was having a grand time with these similes.
“Tell me where Carolyn is right now.”
Ominis huffed indignantly. Phineas’s face was growing redder with each passing second. And then, Phineas burst. “He’s telling the truth, Sallow!” he yelled. “Get over yourself. We don’t know where Carolyn is.”
Sebastian’s curiosity was, officially, piqued. “Is someone going to tell us who Carolyn is—?” He barely got the words out before Damien slapped a hand over his mouth and yanked him backward into a bush of lacewing flies.
Clearly, Damien hadn’t realized what was behind them, as they both promptly toppled backward onto their arses, ending up in a tangled heap of limbs.
The other Sebastian, Ominis, and Phineas, however, remained oblivious, too absorbed in their shouting match to notice.
What in Merlin’s name was going on? This was nothing like Sebastian’s usual dynamic with Ominis, although, to be fair, his Ominis was happily dating his twin sister. Maybe Anne had a calming effect on him somehow. If that was the case, Sebastian would have to remember to thank her later.
“Do you think we should say something?” Sebastian whispered into Damien’s ear.
“No, Bash. I don’t think that would be wise.” Ah, Ravenclaw wisdom. How predictable.
“Hm, okay. Well, we could, erm, steal a kiss or two… or thirteen? While we wait, that is,” Sebastian suggested, crossing all his (metaphorical) fingers and toes. It did seem like they were going to be waiting a while.
Damien rolled his eyes. “Yes, Sebastian. Excellent plan. Let’s lock lips while our friends engage in a heated argument right next to us.”
“Your friends, you mean.”
“They’re your friends, too.”
“Hardly! They merely tolerate me. You do know that, don’t you?”
Damien gave him a pointed look, but he didn’t answer the question.
Sebastian continued. “It’s the truth, D. They’d rather spend time with you than me. You’re the one they actually like.”
Damien gestured in the direction of the other Sebastian, who stood further down the path, glowering at Ominis and Phineas with his hands on his hips. He was still prattling on about that Carolyn girl. He must really be obsessed with her if he was this fixated on her whereabouts. Sebastian couldn’t help but notice the irony though—he was certainly one to talk, considering he’d been known to kill for Damien. But, of course, that was beside the point.
“What do you expect, Bash? That’s their Sebastian.” Damien shrugged. “Just continue to be yourself and I’m sure they’ll come around. You can be obsessive and dramatic, maybe even a little bit intense sometimes, but you’ve gotten a lot better over the past year or so.” He stared down at his hands. “For some reason,” he added, not glancing back up.
“Hey,” Sebastian said, bringing his hand to Damien’s chin and lifting his head up. “Thank you.”
“Thank me? Why?”
“The reason is you, D. The reason is you. But you already knew that, didn’t you?”
Damien flushed. “I didn’t want to presume—”
Sebastian cut off his words with a kiss.
A Sebastian might have been the problem, but it certainly wasn’t him. He was a bundle of joy. Naturally. Carry on.
Corinne’s Sebastian/Damien was the first mlm story I’ve read in this fandom.
I remember early on as I read her story, thinking to myself (and probably commenting it lol): I want to send Ominis and Phineas to this amazing universe she created for Sebastian and Damien so they can all be bffs together forever 😭❤️
And now it’s kinda come true????
I can’t even express what an ABSOLUTE HONOUR it is to have them written by you, my friend! I really really really mean it!
But it's too soon to tell Ominis that and scare him away. Besides, he's still sleeping.
Once my eyes are adapted to the brightness, I can see him clearly: his hair, always immaculate, is dishevelled, and the loose strands of golden hair cover his fair eyelashes and eyebrows; the left side of his face is facing up, and the seven moles almost shimmer like stars; his slightly parted pink lips and nose are half buried in the pillow, and his chest moves peacefully.
He's beautiful under the moonlight, yes—but Ominis was made to glow under the sunshine.”

@pikadrawsthings @karajluce Thank you so much for the tags! You both have wonderful taste in music. I also love these music tag games because it means I’m blessed with new music to enjoy, so extra thanks are in store! 💕
Damien has two answers. When he’s free to be himself at Hogwarts (and when he wants to “annoy” Sebastian) he’ll listen and sing at the top of his lungs:
(Sebastian pretends to be annoyed by this, but he actually secretly enjoys it, especially since Damien has a lovely voice. 🫶)
Damien’s go-to song in places where he’s not as comfortable, but in which he still likes to have a good time, is the classic:
Edited to add: IT WOULD HELP IF I ACTUALLY REMEMBERED TO TAG PEOPLE LOL 😝 Sorry, just goes to show where my brain is at.
I write. I daydream. I yearn for love stories and happy endings. This is how I ended up here.
This is the growing library of my stories—completed works, WIPs, longfics and one shots. I write SFW and NSFW (MDNI).
All stories are part of the same universe featuring the same characters. These are the pairings I love so much it hurts:
❥ Sebastian Sallow / Carolyn Morgan (FMC, Gryffindor Player Character)
❥ Ominis Gaunt / Phineas Black (MMC, Slytherpuff, canon-ish but mostly an OC)
All my works are published on AO3 and Wattpad, and you can also find me on Discord (mostly active on the OHL server) and Tiktok!

I know he's rolled on his side because though his voice is low, I can hear it closely, right in front of me. Too close. He says,
"Don't you want to put a face to the person you hate so much? So you can have a clear picture of me while you think about all the loathing?"
As if I need to know what he looks like when I already think about him all the time. "Putting a face to it would only make it harder."
"Make what harder?" He chuckles faintly at his own joke, but I can hear right through him. The hesitant, insecure, and vulnerable boy I once knew is still there.
"Harder to hate you."
Grasping my wrists, he traps my hands between his face and his palms. "Let's make it worse, then."

I stop devouring his neck and shut my eyes to think. Ominis has never done this before, whatever this is. He must be so overwhelmed—we just kissed for the first time a few hours ago, it's not like we are ready to f*ck tonight. (As much as I desperately want to.) There's still a lot to happen in between.
Like, for example, there are so many questions I want to ask first: Is this really happening? Minutes ago, when he said his feelings for me were deafening, did he mean it? Is my heart allowed to burst out of my chest, or is this, whatever this is, just a fleeting thing induced by the heat and carefreeness of summer? Does he want more? As in, does he want to keep doing this for, like, the rest of our lives? Does he want to live by a lake one day, or would he prefer the sea? What are his thoughts on children? Is it alright if I call him my love, or sweetheart, or just Ominis?
But asking any of those questions would be too awkward. I ask the only sensible thing possible.
"Can I blow you?"

I heard Natty entering the dormitory, and the sound of her steps grew louder as she got closer to me.
"The moon is beautiful tonight..." I breathed out.
She leaned by the window, attempting to make eye contact. "I know dreamy eyes when I see them, Carolyn," Natty mocked.
I blushed. "Do you think he knows, Natty? How I feel about him?" I grabbed a pillow and held it close to my chest.
"Well... I surely hope he does. The endless letters during summer. The excessive amount of time you spend together. That canvas right there he gifted you. Honestly, I am surprised you two are not dating yet."
"The canvas?" I glanced at the Iceland painting and wrinkled my nose. "Oh no... I am definitely not talking about Sebastian Sallow."
She tilted her head to the side, lifting one eyebrow. "What? Who are you talking about, then?"
"Natty..." I breathed out heavily. "I... I fell for him."
I gazed at the moon again.
"I am in love with Ominis Gaunt."

I read a lot of scripts. A lot. From professionals to aspiring writers to complete newbies. Features and pilots. Specs and treatments.
And 8 times out of 10 the fan fic that I’ve read over the last, oh, 15 years is leagues better than this stuff. It’s more inspired. It’s more compelling. It’s genre bending and creative and heartfelt. It’s well-paced and intense and funny and sexy and meaningful. It’s smart and thoughtful and good. It’s novel-quality. Better than, sometimes.
Rare is the script I don’t want to put down, but how often have we stayed up until 3am to get to the last chapter of a 100k fic? And it’s not even a fan fic author’s day job. This is what they do on the side. In their spare time. For free.
So my point is, fan fic authors, you’re good. You’re good writers and great storytellers. I know it doesn’t always feel like it, especially if you’re one of the authors who’s not a BNF and doesn’t get the notes/hits that a few do. And because some people still view fic as “not real writing.” You guys know the shit that gets made into movies. You’re better than that. So be better than that. If writing is what you think want to do, then just know you’re already doing it. You’ve already started.
Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Tag as many people as you have wips. People send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!
