PACKLEADER'S SPEAKERVERSE: INTRO

Hello Stayville and Army!! My name is Packleader! I am making this blog for the fanfiction series I am writing, The Speakerverse. I've been a Stay for about 4 years and an Army since last September. I am so excited to finally begin sharing this universe with you! As more of the universe is revealed, this will be the main master post I will update.

First off, I would like to welcome you all on this journey! My bestie @blondemagnolia has been helping me plan this story for the better part of half a year, and I'm finally at a point where I can begin sharing the outline of the universe, snippets, and mood boards! I hope you'll follow along!!

Would this grab your attention?

Nothing is posted yet and I'm not sure when it will be because it's taking more brain power.

I'm working on a new idea that is going to be eventual romance between Draco and Harry (with some side pairings thrown in. I love those!) I'm attempting something different from what I've written before, exploring trauma Draco might have from being in Azkaban, which causes mental health problems, such as age regression. Would any of this grab you? Some of my favorite parts so far.

***

Summary:

The Ministry’s attempt to fake Harry’s death had exploded spectacularly, and public fury was nothing compared to the heartbreak inflicted on those who loved him. At least Harry had managed to persuade them to trust Ron and Hermione with the truth. Desperate to save face after their repeated failures to keep Harry safe, the Ministry seemed eager to sacrifice the Malfoys, hoping to distract the public from their mistake. To help Harry, Hermione enlisted the unlikely help of Dudley and Oliver to expose the Ministry.

***

Harry collapsed into their arms, his knees striking the floor with a jarring thud, though he was numb to the pain. “I-I… no! I can’t let that happen,” he growled, jaw clenched. “They claim it’s for my safety being here, but it’s killing me… slower than any Death Eater’s curse, yes, but I’m...ugh! I might as well be dead already.” He shot a furious look at the wall and began to pace. “I won’t let them execute the Malfoys. Not even Lucius.”

***

She lifted her mug and sipped carefully. Though not made with magic, the tea’s aroma and warmth were more magical than anything Narcissa had faced in weeks. “It’s about Draco. I know you want to wait until he wakes to share your story, and I respect that. But you must understand... My Dragon...” Narcissa paused, swallowing hard, fighting her tears like her upbringing urged her to do. “He’s... not himself, you see. Not fully, at least, not all the time."

***

Harry and Narcissa entered the living room quietly, each instinctively careful not to startle Draco further. Their wariness proved unnecessary. Draco, lost in tears, grasped Kreacher, who cradled him with an awkward tenderness and didn’t notice Harry and Narcissa at all.

“Kreacher is being drowned by tears. Kreacher is not minding.” He patted Draco’s head. “Kreacher is going soft.”

Narcissa knelt next to them, her voice gentle. “Dragon, do you remember? We escaped that dreadful place for a sunnier home. It is clean and safe, with beautiful blue walls.”

Draco blinked, rubbing his eyes as memories from the day came back to him. “Oh… I-I’m sorry.” He shivered, moving closer to Kreacher without thinking. “Am I really being cuddled by a house elf?”

“Yes, by the great and powerful Kreacher. Don’t tell the other elves. Kreacher will never live it down,” Kreacher said, his smile wide and goofy.

***

Kreacher carefully set Harry’s glasses back on his nose, his gaze moving between Draco and Narcissa. “Kreacher must shop for clothing that suits his new Master and Mistress.” With a disapproving click of his tongue, he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

“A house elf is going to shop for me?” Draco muttered, his voice filled with disbelief and a hint of gratitude. “Thank you for helping us, Potter.”

“Yes, thank you, Harry,” Narcissa echoed warmly. “I am curious what styles Kreacher will choose for us.” She found herself surprisingly unconcerned if the clothes ended up garish.

“Mother, you’re calling him…” Draco’s cheeks flushed as he stared at his lap. It did make sense. They kept rescuing each other, after all. “Alright, Harry.”

Tell Me Tuesday:

Background Characters Edition!

Sooooo I know the usual Tell Me Tuesday rules are about picking a scene from one of your fics and adding commentary, but I'm changing things up a little bit this week! I'm getting into the planning stages of an All My Friends Are Sad & Bright sequel/companion fic centered on Taash and Harding, and it's got me thinking a lot about background relationships. IMO, they're an integral part of making most fics feel fleshed out and real. Your main characters probably don't exist in a vacuum, right? There should be other things happening with the other people in their lives while all their drama's going on in the foreground.

So here's my spin on TMT this week:

Pick a background relationship (platonic/romantic/whatever) between two characters in one of your fics who are not your main characters. Tell me about them! What's going on there? Does that relationship impact or influence the main characters' relationship? How does it add to your world? How does it support the themes of your fic? Whatever else you feel like adding!

Casting a wide tag net for this, so no pressure if this isn't your jam. If you want to play but need to be pointed in a direction, lemme know! Tell me stuff: @dags-over-caravans, @blightwashed, @adejareve, @epiphany-jones, @gloaminghagette, @slothquisitor, @gingervitus, @skogrr, @jukkaricity, @jenn2d2, @khayr, @cravingcoconutredbull, @genjyoandgojyoandhakkai, @serstolas and anyone else who sees this and wants to play!

What begins as Ori only intending to share a bed roll with Fíli for warmth one night, eventually turns into the acquaintances becoming curious about each other after, then falling in love over the course of the quest despite others wishing they would just leave each other be.

Meanwhile, Thorin is doing his best to be a good example for his eldest sister-son and not act on the urge to let himself be wrapped around one specific Hobbit Omega's fingers. However, he fails spectacularly.

The rest, as some say, is history.
