Found a chargeable and portable light bulb at the store. Right after rewatching DGHDA too. I can feel a cosplay coming on...

Intertwined

I've never really felt I belong to anything always shoved back onto the edges of the communities As if I'm shunned to be just the faintest whisper of a memory a face blurred out, as if I've got something to hide I'm okay with this for the most part, reveling in the solitude but, and I'll never admit this, there are times when I just crave touch

Hands in hands swinging as we walk in the early afternoon sun the sidewalks are veins and there's white blood cells, and red blood cells marching forward and backward upon the concrete paths

I watch from the sidelines as life falls into place for those around me and I cheer them on and celebrate the accomplishments of people who I'm not sure I'm even friends with anymore and, if the truth is something to be told I'm kind of jealous of the cards they were dealt

She smiles and the world is gone Just the shine of her teeth and I want to count them again Like I did that morning Starting things right by tasting your lips

I spend most of my time alone, with nothing but the background noise of ignored sitcoms I always choose something with a laugh track because I need the ambiance of a happy home So I'm not constantly reminded of what my life's become

She's so much more than anyone I've ever known I hate the idea, but do soulmates stick around? She's either going to break me or save me

I don't want to think about this anymore

If you fail to see the Spiritual side of this situation, you fail to see the entire energizing and motivating foundation beneath it.

This is not merely about pedophilia. It's not merely about sex. It's not merely about money. It's not even merely about human beings having power.

The foundations are what really need to be exposed. And you need to understand them.

why is your pepsi tag "everything's connected" ? ive been trying to figure this out for months from the post content and i cant

it's another song reference actually! a line from Redesign Your Logo by Lemon Demon, which is then based off a bizarre leaked pepsi design document that's been floating around for years

Everything's Connected (44.297 words) by mizdiz

Rating: Mature

magical realism AU, boarding school AU

Summary:

When he's seven years old, Sirius Black has a brief encounter with a strange boy in the woods, who, in their short exchange, teaches him an important lesson about the nature of the Universe, only to then disappear without a trace.

Nine years later, Sirius, along with his two best friends, is a student away at boarding school, with a brand new transfer student as his roommmate--a foul-mouthed, astronomy nerd named Remus Lupin.

Between school, hormones, relationships, and the fact that he is keeping a (magical) secret away from everyone--Sirius' year starts to go a little off the rails.

Not to mention, there's something familiar about that Remus Lupin kid that he just can't seem to shake…

Comment:

I love stories that incorporate magic in a different way than canonical hp magic, and this one was full of beautiful magical realism, and just generally a great boarding school AU!
