oliver wood, unprovoked: so that's why percy weasley is the best person ever, you uneducated -

[mirrorofliterature]

another sneaky sneaky little out-of-context snippet because I crave validation. context? what context? pining? trivago.

Percy had seemed somewhat misty-eyed, almost wistful. If Oliver hadn’t known better, he might have thought it was longing. But he does, so.

oliver, struggling: omg look at percy he’s so perfect!

percy, who is also struggling but is put together: what. oliver, take off your rose-coloured glasses and get me a drink.

okay, one (1) line from my wip as it is a gift fic I’m largely keeping under wraps for surprise factors, because I have been silent-ish the past two months.

a fun contextless little perciver peek: 

Percy always makes him feel vulnerable: like his soul is bared on display for this one man he loves so deeply, irreparably: a man who has seen him sleep countless times

what’s happening? idk; I only work here.

may i suggest barnaby and kiki/kiwi for cat names?

oh, interesting!

probably not for the final names, but I will definitely mention one as suggested by oliver.

and whoops my hand slipped. scene?

-

"What about Kiwi?" Oliver suggests. "They are a beautiful flightless bird from New Zealand."

Also a green fruit with black seeds, but Oliver wasn't going to mention that. Bless pureblood wizards for their ignorance of imported fruits grown by Muggles. Percy may be smart, but he is still fundamentally pureblood. He also has been to Tesco a few times, but hopefully decades of magical indoctrination win.

...

Maybe-Kiwi's eyes are a clear bright green set against her silver tabby fur, almost the exact same shade as kiwis.

Unfortunately, Percy is not convinced, because he lacks the ignorance so many other purebloods proudly harbour. "We are not naming our cat after a fruit, Ollie."

Well, it was worth a shot. "What about Barnaby? Or Bowtruckle?"

"Have you been taking pet naming advice from Ginny?" Percy finally asks in a devastatingly casual deadpan voice, and that is when Oliver finally cracks and laughs, laughs and laughs and laughs until his sides ache.

"So no Pidgewidgeon the Second then, I take it?"

broken moments and hope

But the moment is broken as other people start to arrive, which is good because otherwise, Oliver may have done something foolish like telling Percy he was in love with him.

percy is so reserved, he keeps his emotions close to his chest and can he like... not? it’s making my life hard :(

oliver wood is incredibly intelligent, actually.

coaching, coordinating and theorising sport strategies is not easy. these are also likely cross-transferable skills during the war, such as coordinating smuggling of muggleborns.
