#dyh ask

[mollymarymarie]

I dunno what sort of crack you put into DYH but I devoured it in a few hours!

What an amazing, finger-licking, addictive fic!

This might be TMI but an injured pet I was fostering died in my arms recently and DYH really helped me get through the worst of it. So your fic is very very dear to me.

I was also in a Catholic school growing up and have loads of religious trauma, this fic helped me look at it a bit differently through Remus’ perspective — thank you for that!

Also, I didn’t have a priest kink before, and now you’re making me wanna go to Mass to see if there are any 30-something hot priests around 🤔 extra points if they’re heavily tattooed!! (And play bass goddamn)

Anywayyyy… love ya and hope you’re happy and healthy <3 mwah

Hiiiii friend thank you!! I'm so sorry about the pet you were fostering, it is SO hard to lose a friend like that 💔 but I'm glad I was able to help, in some small way, even if it was only through distraction.

On a happier note, if you happen to find that 30-something heavily tattooed priest who plays bass... I mean, you know where to find me 🙏

Hi!✨ Tell me, is this your work “Dear Your Holiness”? I really enjoyed your fanfic. May I translate it into Russian with your permission? The audience is very eager to read it, and many Marauders fans would be thrilled. Thank you for your response! 🥺

Yes, that's me! As long as you credit me as the original author, I'm perfectly fine with any translations!! Thank you for asking friend! ❤️

i just read dear your holiness again ! ohhh my god i actually forgot how amazing this fic is. i haven't read it in so long because i got caught up in school studies, and i haven't even read a fic since December, so i decided, "why not start with dear your holiness again?" and holy fuck, was that a good choice. i genuinely ranted to my friend about this fic for 30 minutes from how much i love it. like it's genuinely my oxygen and I'll always always always recommend it to people if anyone asks for a fic rec, because holy shit, it is the most poetic fic I've genuinely ever read. the first time i read dyh, it felt like i just opened my eyes for the first time. it felt like the first cigarette someone could have. it felt like i just discovered what fan fiction is. i love it so much, thank you for bringing such a beautiful fic into the world !

holy shit friend thank you so much!! you are far too sweet, i cannot tell you how much getting asks like these mean to me 😭🥹

hello!! i just finished another reread of dyh and first of all, i love it with my whole heart and the scene where the potters adopt harry always makes me CRY. it’s so sweet oh my god. seconddd, it made me think and i was wondering where do you think they would be five years after the end? remus and sirius especially but the rest of the big characters too if you want <3 like how do you imagine them five years down the line? and again i just want to thank you for writing such a masterpiece and all the joy that fic in particular brings me, it’s so dear to me. i hope you have a good day ❤️

Hi friend, thanks for this little spark of joy in my day 🥰

We all know I'm a sucker for a happy ending probably to the point of it being unhealthy lol but I imagine they stay together and live long, happy, loving lives.

Someone asked a similar question a little while back (if I could remember how I tagged it maybe I could've found it lol) and I remember answering with wolfstar getting married, William visits often, Dorcas and Mary get together, Harry grows up happy and healthy, the youth center turns into a huge non-profit. That's the kind of ending I want for them. The one they deserve ❤️

Hello! I recently read Dear Your Holiness and now I'm obsessed. I translated it to myself into Polish, but can I publish this translation on AO3? With all credits ofc. Thanks in advance <3

Hi, sorry this was so delayed, but yes absolutely! Thanks for mentioning you'd credit me appropriately, because that's really all I'd ask for! ❤️

[mollymarymarie]

Ok i read dyh AGES ago but i just found your tumblr so i thought i should let you know that i SOBBED over that fic

In a good way ofc

There were multiple occasions where i fully threw my phone and like freaked tf out bc of your amazing amazing brain

So tysm youre incredible <33

oh my god thank you??? this is so sweet, i am so happy you liked the fic and that you found me here and (hopefully) that your phone didn't crack when you threw it 🥺

Hii there 💕 So I recently read something that was also secret identity / text crush vs irl crush and it just pissed me off so so bad that I had to reread DYH for the third time this year to cleanse my soul. I still found myself in awe of your writing and storytelling. You managed to make the plot soooo exciting and wholesome at the same time. The perfect balance between sexual tension and tenderness. I found myself still giddy and then in tears multiple times even with this reread. At no point in the fic that I felt that there was emotional manipulation even though Remus knew it was Sirius the entire time (which was not the case in the other story that pmo 😭) and I think that speaks volumes of your talent and love for both characters.

On another note: WHAT AN ELITE PLAYLIST. Listening while reading was a 🙏🏻religious🙏🏻 experience. I can't stop listening to Suspension and Stay Where I Can See You. And Ruthless. And The Sun and The Moon. And and and just basically all of them!

Sorry for this kinda pointless ask. I'm sure you get this all the time but I just wanna gush over DYH. Truly changed my brain chemistry with this one. Thank you so much 🫶🏻

Also, idk if you were asked this before, but where did you get your inspiration for DYH? How did you cook up this delicious fic??

OMG this is not a pointless ask!! If anything, getting these asks today was just the mood boost I needed! ❤️

I am so sorry this other fic pissed you off!! That's terrible! (but I'm also pretty tickled that you came back to DYH as a palate cleanser lol that is so sweet of you to say) and I'm especially pleased that you like my playlist 🥰

The FIRST inspiration was Dear Your Holiness (the song by Bayside). It just got my wheels turning in the background and I was kind of tinkering with the idea of a priest fic. I literally had a note on my phone (a running document of fic ideas) that said "GIVE REMUS TATTOOS DAMMIT" and I was hung up on Kenny Vasoli from The Starting Line lol so I said what if we did a kind of You've Got Mail situation???

And I ALMOST made Remus kind of a cynical guy who puts on a mask every Sunday on the pulpit. But I grew up in church and I have a lot of those struggles that Remus (and Sirius) have in this fic.

But I had just lost my grandmother shortly after starting the fic so I was feeling pretty introspective and emotional. It all came out as DYH. That moment when Remus tells Sirius about the nun who comforted him after his parents died was a verbatim conversation with my mom about losing my grandmother.

Anyway this was a very long answer but I love talking about DYH so thanks for giving me an excuse to do it!!

omg i wrote a poem about DYH in class, because it makes me tweak out💔 i love dyh, thank you so much for inventing this fic, because i would NOT be who i am today

WAIT I NEED TO HEAR THE POEM THO 😍🥹
