I'm interested in the tennis multi-chap, and also any part of any story featuring Fleamont and Euphemia lol.

i just shared a bit about the tennis multi-chap here, but since you mentioned my favourite little side-ship, i'll take this opportunity to gush about a fic from the list that is so special to me and all about fleamia!

i don't know if i'll ever get around to posting the fic i have colloquially named 'for ben' because it may just be too autobiographical hahaha, but it's a little love letter via fic to my prince of a husband, whom i have shamelessly based my entire characterisation of fleamont potter off of 💖 the fic is essentially fleamont and james, through euphemia's eyes! it covers various parenting points as james grows up and becomes the young man we all adore.

here's a little snippet:

tripping and falling are mostly the same & stumbling, though, is not so quick by @gigglesandfreckles-hp

A surprise bonus bind because I couldn’t help myself. I gave this story a reread late this summer and it got stuck in my head. Next thing I knew I had pasted the whole text into a document and started making this. More below the cut!

I’ll read anything Abi writes but I never knew I could fall in love with Euphemia and Fleamont until reading this. “Harry Potter’s grandparents? who cares?” someone yells from the back row. ME, that’s who. Consider me invested and it’s all Abi’s doing.

I wish I could say I had picked up on some motif about growth etc etc and made the vine and tree graphics reflect that, but mainly I just wanted to use a strawberry vine as a section break (and then I forgot to take a picture of it). And NOBODY better point out that the paper is upside down on the back cover. Just ignore that and admire how nicely the spine throws up.

Details:

Typeset made by me in Pages. Illustrations are from a 1889 printer’s catalogue, cleaned up in Sketchbook for iPad.

Printed on 104gsm Domtar printmaking paper.

Bound on linen tapes with 25/3 linen thread.

Book board repurposed from a damaged hardcover.

Half bind with homemade bookcloth and William Morris paper (I took some liberties with the traditional proportions)

Time designing, typesetting, and binding: 47 hours

Always handmade. Never for sale. Keep fandom free.

I loooooved your new fleamia fic!!! I suppose she's what, 13-14 years old and he's 16-17? God I wish I was like at her age! And Fleamont seems less shy in the fic, maybe because later on when he starts working at the labs he sees people less often and he forgot how to interact with humans 😂

thank you! and yes, she's 13/14-ish, while he's 17/18-ish! third and seventh year, respectively. in my longer fic, i have them meet/get married when they're 20 and 25! and ha!! i think his youthfulness accounts for his confidence here and the fact that he's just talking to a harmless, younger student instead of the very-not-harmless, spectacular woman she'll become by the time he meets her again ;-)

Your Fleamia travel fic sounds amazing to me! How is every fic you write or have planned seriously incredible?! I guess I'll just reread Tripping and Falling while I wait for more Fleamia content lol

i am only part of the brains behind this particular fic as my dear friend @ohhevans is cooking some genius up too! but i love that you love fleamia. i know i never shut up about it—but i really just love the potters so much and am always so pleasantly surprised to see other fleamont and euphemia enthusiasts in the jily ranks!!

stopppp I need your fleamia traveling fic yesterday. that sounds unbelievably good. him taking random pictures of her he’s such a perfect husband 😩😭😭

like ok OKAY look!!!! do you see the vision?!?!?

[gigglesandfreckles-hp]

just re-read tripping and falling and sequel for the billionth time. I love love love your Mia/Flea ! I feel like their story is so untapped in fanfiction, or maybe I just haven't seen any others?? Do you have any plans or ideas floating around for any other stories or oneshots with this couple? I just adore them so much

first off, thank you! second off, YES! @ohhevans and i have a (most likely distant) idea for some adventures of young, sexy fleamia travelling around the world :)

like...okay imagine it with me: them on a safari in east africa, snuggled up in their luxury tent, listening to lions roar and monkeys scream all night. or wining and dining their way up the coast of italy, with all the slightly-more-than-tipsy adventures along the way to show for it. or trying to walk as much of the great wall of china as possible, but mia rolls an ankle an hour in and so oh no! fleamont has to carry her piggy-back the rest of the day! and of course they have a camera for all of these adventures and document everything along the way and it's really just fleamont taking pictures of his "favourite view" over and over again :'-)

Oh my goodness! I haven't read your newest fic yet, but I'm so ecstatic about it! You must have read my mind, but I was literally just about to ask if you ever planned to write any stories about Fleamont and Euphemia raising James. I love how you flesh out all of them, and your version of their dynamic is my favorite. ❤️

ah thank you!! my toddler is in a "wake mum and dad up at 5am by jumping in their bed to cuddle every morning" stage right now so i channeled that into the potter family ha!
