“No spells, no charms, no potions,” Hermione said, idly twirling the curl that always fell down first from her chignon. It wasn’t lost upon him, as she’d intended and he’d understood, based on the gleam in his grey eyes.

“O ye of little faith,” Draco said.

“I don’t need faith, I need proof-of-concept. Evidence,” she replied.

“You won’t when I’m done,” he said, one hand cupping her cheek gently, the other possessive at her waist. “I don’t need fucking magic to make you come, Hermione Jean.”

“God, don’t stop,” she gasped a little later. 

“Now you’re a believer,” he murmured.

Happy happy birthday! The world is a better place with you in it being yourself and living your best life, even if that life somehow involves getting yet another graduate degree. Big hugs!

Look, I... have nothing to say in my own defense, except that a) it's free, b) it's great (the school is ranked in the top 12 in the WORLD for the degree I will be doing), c) it will open up a lot more possible career paths, and d) at least it is part time alongside my usual job; I will be taking two classes at a time at most. It will still be a lot, but I am excited about it and yes, yes. Here we are to literally nobody's surprise. Alas. Sometimes (by which I mean often) I am in fact very predictable.

And thank you, my dear -- it was a nice birthday day and I hope you too are doing well. ❤️

Hello, I have a scene(s) stuck in my head, but can't remember the context or rest of the fan fic. I think there is a crime/espionage theme overall, but I can't be sure. What I remember is Draco keeps being photographed while out on a boat with some attractive women. I believe Hermione gets irritated seeing the photographs in the paper. Later on, it is revealed that the women were secretly photographing another boat to get evidence of a crime and the flirtations on the boat were a ruse.

Anyone?

Edit:

Thanks!

I love everything you write. I'll read anything you write in any fandom because I know it will be amazing. If you ever want warm fuzzies because your bad brain is being an asshole lying liar who lies, ping me. I'm happy to tell your bad brain voice to fuck the fuck off because you are in fact one of my very most favorite writers in any fandom ever.

ARTIELU 😭😭😭 this is such a kind message and i am brimming with warm fuzzies, so thank you very much for that! i will most certainly take you up on that offer at some point in the future. i am so, so happy that you love what i write. that means the world to me. THANK YOU AGAIN 🥰💖

  Hearing how you and your spouse decided to get...

All true but also, divorce is not a Horrible Thing. Like, don’t stay in a bad marriage Beccar you’re embarrassed to get divorced. Now that I’m almost 40, lots of my friends are divorced, some on second marriages.

oh yeah for sure. most of my friends are divorced too and tbh you should feel able to leave any relationship--that’s part of trust and security with a partner as well

artielu replied to your post: garciaflynnismyspiritanimal: ...

Wait holy fuck you’re back???

Sort of....? I am still pestering @support to restore my main account, which was deleted with no communication or follow-up three-odd weeks ago. It is.... hmm. An exercise in developing saint-like qualities.

This is my backup account for now, which I am hoping is only temporary, because you know, I want six years of content and followers and work back. We will see. I tried tagging you in my signal boost post, but tumblr doesn’t appear to let new users do that OR show up in tags. Fun.

I'm so sorry that you were plagiarized. I thought really liked Kismet and it turns out that what I really liked was Message Sent. I have no idea what Dragon Age is but I've bookmarked your fic. I see it's a WIP that last updated over a year ago and would like to politely inquire whether you might be planning to complete it and/or how close you might be to completion? I see it tagged UST and I'm not gonna lie, 81k amazing words of great UST but no RST might make my brain pressure combust.

No the UST is the ride not the destination. I actually plan to devote my entire december to getting MS done. 

Also listen, I don’t need or really want Kismet readers to slog through Message Sent like a punishment. I don’t want my fics to be an obligation. Especially when there is a TON of lore/politics specific to DA in that fic. I don’t want readers to suffer or be forced to read thngs that arent what theyre looking for just cause they got tricked. Thats not fair to them or to me. If anything Kismet readers, read Thrust. Thats Reylo and I wrote that. Its not a text messaging AU but its at least the fic I wrote, for, and intended, as Reylo. If I were to write a Reylo Texting/Wrong number AU, it wouldnt be at all like Message Sent anyway. It would be like, in universe, where Rey finds a broken FO comm on Jakku and gets a message from Kylo Ren and they begin talking to each other across the universe. Or heck, like I said before, a modern one where Rey is a clepto thief who crashes parties and steals/sells rich kids stuff. And she steals Kylo’s phone and he has to use Hux’s or his moms to technically text HIMSELF trying to convince rey to gve his phone back but they start an affair...?? idk. The point is, I don’t want guilt to be the reason people read through my fics. I want it to be because they like the idea or the writing.
