mkay dron nation, i present to you: the fic that stemmed entirely from the offhand thought "ron would have more emotional intelligence than this" while reading a random mention of the sectumsempra scene™ and then summarily took over my entire life.

inspiral

[in which Sirius lives, Harry chills out (relatively), and Ron is forced (by absolutely no one) to pick up the Malfoy-stalking slack.

. . .

Ron paused with his hand reaching for the bathroom door, debating turning back-- back to dinner and his friends and pretending he saw nothing out of the ordinary.

He drew in a final, fortifying breath before easing it open. The sound of sobbing -- choking, heaving, desperate -- was no longer muffled by the heavy wood. A high, whiny voice crooned empty platitudes like backing vocals for the world’s most depressing song, and it was with a creeping horror that Ron realized Myrtle wasn’t the one crying.

5 Things We Still Don't Know About Black Holes (And 2 We Do) After LIGO

“1.) How small are the lowest-mass black holes?

LIGO has yet to detect any low-amplitude binaries, providing no information about this population.”

Beginning in 2015, the LIGO detectors began to see robust, bona fide signals of gravitational waves. Of the 11 signals detected to date, 10 of them correspond to black hole-black hole mergers. Gravitational wave astronomy has not only opened up a whole new eye on the Universe, it’s opened up a whole new world as far as our understanding of black holes go. With these 10 mergers under our belt, and an upgraded data run expected later this year, it’s time to take stock of what we don’t yet know, and how we hope to get there. 

Here’s where we are today in our understanding of LIGO’s black holes.

current chapter progress for inspiral lmfaoo

aka awkward drafts of a letter to your estranged brother (who better not conveniently 'forget' your 17th bloody birthday)

the golden trio dynamics in inspiral are wonderful bc

there's ron just like: ah, i love my two best friends, my two completely platonic besties for the resties, theyre the absolute best, theyre 1001% the siblings i wish i had (instead of the lame-asses i do)

meanwhile, harry and hermione: [loudly scheming in the bg] (to try and get her with ron due to her small, mixed romantic/platonic, partially comp-het fueled crush on a ron who recently got very hot very quickly)

and meanwhile neville is eyeing the two of them nervously as they scheme within earshot bc he's heard ron refer to mione as his adopted sister Multiple times, knowing how weird this all could get exactly how fast

and MEANWHILE ron is Openly rooting for padma patil as she awkwardly girlfailure-tries to flirt with hermione over books and homework assignments WHILE padma hates him for (unknowingly) stringing along the girl she likes for months
