You know what really shoots my airplane towards the sky?

The fact that if the cultivation world (particularly Huan Hua, but it's a reflection of society at large) wasn't so corrupt, Luo Binghe's post-abyss plan A of "Become a renowned righteous cultivator to get back into Shizun's good graces" would have worked! And there would be less dying and probably would have even taken less time!

I would like to say I was thinking about the Past/Future WxS/N25 thing before

I just didn't WRITE IT DOWN because I wanted to investigate it further

Hypotheses to be tested and whatnot, but.

Yes, the basic idea is "WxS is about learning to appreciate the past, all of it and not just the pleasant parts, to bring about a fortunate future" and "N25 is about embracing the possibility of a future, however potentially painful, to help heal a painful past"

Again, i haven't INVESTIGATED that in its entirety but I wanted to at least put the thought out into the aether

(All) The Potter twins are disasters, more at four

Hi yes sometimes (often) I do the thing where you go 'oh!! what if! My universe! Met THIS UNIVERSE!! Gestures at a beloved fic written by someone else' but today/yesterday it was just... crack. Bc I read a lot of serious, very good, nicely thought out fics ripe with character development and strained interpersonal relations but all I write is just... ah yes. They love each other. It's not romantic, go celebrate that elsewhere. They just. Love. The explosion. Love go brr suckers.

Anyway highlights without stealing from others' fics include:

Potter twin idiots one and two apparently don't pack their own meds, but they have e/os bc obviously they'll manage to take their own meds on time but their bro is an idiot who'll forget his.

"Your meatsuit is revolting against your bones."

H "I am many things and against murder is not one of those." C "No one in this family is against murder." H "Kenny's against murder." C "Kenny has a body count?" H "Those were an accident and we don't talk about them."

Harry opens his mouth. "Harry, I don't know what you're thinking but it's obviously cursed so please don't." Harry closes his mouth.

Connor says something obviously Galaxy brain. "Oh wow, we've been here longer than twelve hours, my meds are wearing off."

Look, Theo and Ron could be enemies. They could be rivals. They could compete. But they're both smart enough to realize that they each have one (1) idiot Potter on their hands so they teamed up instead.

Iris, the Harry from another au, (Cobra Lily) plops down beside Hades (NOPC) and Hawthorne (Hyacinth). "Well, obviously foster kids are the best kids."

C "Wait do we need to eat. How long have we been here?"

Alt: C "Oh sure, this pocket dimension gauntlet from azkaban halts all our bodily functions so we don't need water or food, but I still burn through my Adderall, screw this."

Connor and Harry making fun of the others in sign because there are too many parselmouths to make snarky comments in parseltongue

"Please understand, I am a disaster and Harry is the only reason I'm still alive."

Connor randomly zones out and when someone else asks him what's going on "I'm trying to figure out if my parasite ended up in a pocket dimension too bc Nagini and Voldemort are gossiping about their kid. Pretty sure they don't have a kid." H "No they have a kid. You've met him." C "Wut" H "He haunts his little sister, remember?" C "Wait him? "But he's not a snake?"

Casually breaking the fourth and fifth walls bc Undead Rights

Hades is a master of smiling brightly and 'oversharing' so the others keep writing him off as an idiot, meanwhile he's using his blood to burn through the floor and see if he can get them through this bs obstacle course.

For the record, Hawthorne is having the time of his life, and Iris is very excited to talk to another human horcrux. They're very rare, you know.

(Sorrel and Charlie, the respective twins, are chilling. Sorrel is still pretending he's not related to Hawthorne. Charlie is supporting his sister's dreams of becoming a dark lady.)

I'd like to again bring up that these idiots don't pack their own meds. "Mm let's see," Connor bends his knee up and starts pulling things out of his boot. "Basilisk venom, atomoxetine, a knife, a hair tie, where the heck is my adderall?" Meanwhile, Hades pulls out a bottle of adderall, snacks, a human femur, nail polish, a vial of blood, three knives, a flashlight, more snacks, etc.

Harry routinely spouts disturbing random factoids about the human body. "There's a bone in your ear, smaller than my nail, and if I steal it you'll start walking into things because it runs your sense of balance." / "Oh look, you're shedding your skin." / "Hit him hard enough there and he'll die." / "You can live without a lot of organs you know," / "Eyeballs are just nerve goo that refract light."

"What's a horcrux?" Some poor soul asks. Iris, Charlie, Hades, and Con all zone in on them. H "A cowards way to immortality." Con "Freaking Painful," I "Useful," Ch "Annoying" all, more seriously. "An abhorration to magic's nature."

(Harry, in the corner, pouting bc horcruxes are a disgrace to necromancy: djdkfls I will burn them)

Iris, Thorne, and Hades all grew up with enough muggle influence they use memes to communicate.

snorts. "Soul magic go brr"

The normal ones: :eyes:

"You have outlived kings and empires, be proud." "Harry when was there an empire that lasted less than fifteen years"

"Hiss hiss suckers."

"Wait we've been separated for two hours and you didn't adopt all your alternate selves?" eldritch head tilt

Harry, seeing something that looks lethal: Touches it. (Con: Hades no!)

Con, seeing a really sharp knife: Slaps. Is cut. Proceeds to be excited. Harry: Calls him an idiot and heals the cut b4 also celebrating

Con: We could trade lives but I'm pretty sure that would end in disaster bc there's no way you'd survive my sister. AU person: Squints. I thought you had a brother?

When reunited, they stop for a minute and stare, slowly tilting their heads further and further until they have to turn their necks and then their torsos, going upside down. Outsider: "What are you doing?" Pts: "Ensuring his identity."

Also shoutout to Harry who can just tell it's Con bc his soul is a hot mess n Harry can see souls, but goes through the identity ritual anyway bc it makes Con feel better

"Does this remind you of operation kill the bwl or if it just me?" "It's definitely just you."

"Oh sure, you get impaled one time and no one lets you live it down."

"I'm relatively sure he's died by poison so many times it addled his brains." "This coming from the boy with a maniac sharing his headspace!" "Yeah but I can block out the maniac!"

Connor: Purposefully sets Harry up to spend twenty minutes insulting horcruxes and also voldemort

(threat) "I will end our bloodline." "Harry we're both ace. Our bloodline is ending anyway. This is why adoption exists."

C: "You're why adoption exists."

H "At this point i have like, seven parents, it should be illegal to adopt me." C "Like three of those are actually ancles." H "Please tell me you did not just call the DBs ankles"

H "Sometimes family is you, your dark artifact brother, your time travelling aunt, the dead family members you wanted to keep chillin with, your muggle uncle, your wizard uncle, your mass murdering dog, the serial killer smoke, and the fifteen muggleborn families you adopted to protect from racist politics." C "I think you forgot like... seventy people."

"Yo now that there are more of us I need names. But like, don't actually give me your names, I spend way too much time with faeries for that to be safe."
