Well, here we are again, someone has stolen from the Hope Potter verse.

They made BFI into a fucking video. smh. It and the parent fic LB are locked to registered users, so I know that it wasn't a guest, which is somehow more annoying.

I've already sent a takedown request but we'll see how that goes :(

[harpers-tartarus]

Is there anything you want to write in your fics that you maybe haven't written yet?

oh, so many things!

this throne is not mine:

speaking with Ruvina, which I have not even begun to write

possibly ending up back in the forest of Sylvaire and fighting Arianwen

purposefully planning to take the Last Stand, so they try to level up at least once more (Riz is an extra level, level 14 rogue, level 1 cleric because he had to fight the Court of Stars by himself and killed 8/12)

It coming out that Riz and Fabian are a thing and so many ppl are like??? they weren't dating before???

Futton no Mito:

THE CHUNIN EXAMS, I'm so hyped for it

I've written this but it hasn't been posted yet, but Anko and Iruka being genin teammates and both having the curse seal

Tsunade's return and reconciliation with Mito

Sakura becoming Hatake Sakura and finally getting it at the Chunin Exams when she's targeted for being Kakashi's kid

Mito kisses Shikamaru and tells him she'll only date him when to hits Jounin and he's dumbfounded but 2 weeks later there's a rumor that she's dead until Naruto rushes through the front gates carrying her, somehow alive after being cut by Hidan's scythe.

Mito helping Naruto speak with Kurama and then wandering around in his psyche and finds the Yondaime Hokage, who gives a sheepish wave as she gapes at him

Strongest of the Warlocks

I'm feeding in more Arthurian Legend stuff into this fic and its gonna show

Morgana asks Merlin to find out more stuff about her parents and when she gets back, she's immediately accused of witchcraft bc Uther wants to silence her

The resurrection of Elmet, when it happens, will be so great

Merlin meeting Cian in the flesh on Arthur's quest and Gwaine staying with her to help her dig a grave for his bones than leave them behind

Arthur always impressed by Percival and he has no idea if he's serious when he says that the day they met, Merlin fought off a group of bandits to save his life

A Shift in the Force

Anakin and Ahsoka bonding

Sabe reaching Ossus and spending her fortune on repairing it bc the Force tells her that soon Coruscant won't be safe

Her realizing she's pregnant again and its not the best time, but she'll make the best of it

Quinlan eventually meeting his kid an Caleb HATES him, he's a mama's boy all the way

Tempest

Dick and Amy keeping a low profile when they start dating until they hit three months and decide okay, everything's going well, we should tell our folks

Ariel and Jason are on the anti-Dick squad but Jason's more serious about it

Amy running off to Mount Elbrus for the second time. Katya is ecstatic, except for the reasons that bring her

Amy and Wally fighting bc she won't come back to the Team and won't tell them why

Unexpected Changes

Callum and Ibis dream team. Callum leaves for a few months to train at the Storm Spire

Harrow and Ilmadia courting doing complicated things bc sometimes Ezran calls her Mom and Callum shuts down a few times

Ethari makes Callum a staff and is startled when he starts crying over it

Brace For Impact

Hope getting arrested for using the patronus charm and her wand gets snapped, but when they go to bring her out, she's utterly unfazed, surrounded by madness and decay

Hope and Cliodhna's eventual duel. "You may win against me, but only for a time."

Ron going to the OotP and being Hope's mouthpiece bc he refuses to let her in that place and she has complete faith in him

Sirius and Hope dragging Regulus' corpse out of the lake and Sirius mourning him at long last.

Hope meeting so many gods

Path Built on Graves

Allen coming to the Order and Kanda immediately detests him bc Maria's face goes white when she sees him

Finding out that Allen Walker is Allen Campbell and Maria's just like 'of course my kid would be the one to willingly join up with the Order'

Her brothers finding out that Maria's Allen is still alive and they're so happy for her...tho Tyki's a little irritable that he lost so much money to him

Maria having a contentious relationship with Bookman and refusing to elaborate on why she doesn't like him

The Golden Sun

Eden joining Central City University and becoming Roy's roommate

Ed somehow finding faith in the form of Ishvala

I am the DM of Hope Potter's life, the problem is the kid consistently rolls high or low, which is why she survives near fatal attacks, has the worst backstory and luck

Every time I get a review/comment on LB I'm just like 'ya'll are still here?' bc some days I think about taking it down, but I don't bc some people reread it for nostalgia purposes and it represented to me my first great fanfic accomplishment.

I started writing it when I was 16 years old. I was still in high school. I finished it before I started nursing school. Some parts are bad, some parts are good. The Greek Myths plot wasn't integrated well despite Death's presence throughout, but it gave me Thalia and Aggie in the wedding sequence. I made some comments about therapy that I didn't mean. Hope shrugged off her trauma entirely too easily.

It is not peak writing, and I want you guys to know that, and know this:

Brace For Impact is so much better than Looking Beyond, and I mean that sincerely. Hope's greatest mentors are POC to contrast with her distrust towards Dumbledore, a white man who thinks he knows better. Hope and Dean Thomas view each other as brother and sister regardless of what everyone else thinks. George is a genius at potion-making that nearly failed potions class. Fred is the big brother everyone wants. Hermione's family is from Tunisia and is magical but her father had a falling out with his family. Hope's own family is complicated. Hope gets the therapy she deserves and the anti-depressants she needs.

If you ever enjoyed LB, please turn your attention to BFI, because its so much better, and @e-lysium can back me up on that.

I always /loved/ what you did with the resistance in your first hope potter fic

The Resistance is straight up the best and we’re gonna be even more full-on in ST when we get there and the war is something I’m really looking forward to writing again :)

[harpers-tartarus]

Apparently I was autocorrecting victor to viktor in LB and ended up with this gem omg

[harpers-tartarus]

I just found out that Morea is a huge genus in the Iridaceae family. (Morea flowers look like tiny Irisis without beards). So Hope May have a flower named grandma on both sides of her family lol

Oh that’s cool! Morea was just the name of the mulberry hamadryad daughter Oxylus and Hamadryas, just to reinforce just how Greek James’ side of the family is :)

[harpers-tartarus]

the biggest change between LB!Hope and ST!Hope? Shite vs shit
