#moon rite

[isalisewrites]

I'm up to date with Moon Rite now and all I can say is🐔

Just wait. It gets worse for Harry. On all fronts.

Harry: I'm already being sexually harrassed by my future husband, Voldemort. I need my fathers to knock their bullshit off!

[isalisewrites]

Summary:

Ten years.

A dance, an endless terrible dance - fighting against Voldemort again and again; Harry had lost count of the battles. A cruel stalemate.

And he'd grown weary.

"It's true," breathed Voldemort. "It's true."

It'd become a ritual between them, a religious rite of which both were driven by their mad orthodox fervor.

Until Voldemort learned the truth: Harry was his horcrux. With a sudden offer of a ceasefire, the decades long war could be over - lives saved and protected - if Harry swore to one agreement: a magically binding marriage contract with Voldemort himself.

The Moon Rite.

CHAPTER FOUR EXCERPT:

“Hm,” murmured Severus. “Well, it could’ve been worse. At least Weasley had his mind about him when you were clearly decision making challenged. Really, Harry, this is the most asinine of your heroics to date.”

“Hey.”

“Let me see the mark.”

Harry turned his wrist and showed him. Severus gently took his arm, gazing down at it; he paled instantly. “What?” Harry demanded. “What’s wrong?”

Severus shook his head. “It’s… powerful.”

“Don’t give me that—what’s going on? There’s something more, isn’t there? And don’t keep me in the dark here—you never do that to me.”

Severus sighed. “These lines,” he said, brushing his thumb over the mark. “They are a symbol of the strength of the marriage bond. Two lines are the standard. Very rarely will there be four lines for powerful witches and wizards with an intense bond. Six lines? Your marriage bond is unheard of.”

“That’s it?” Harry narrowed his eyes. “No, there’s something more here. There’s something else. What is it?”

Severus’ cheeks dusted with pink. “Never you mind.”

“Severus.”

“I can’t—”

“Sev.”

“It isn’t prop—”

“Dad!”

Severus huffed. “It’s also a counter.”

“A counter? For what?”

“I-Intimacy,” said Severus with a cough. “You’re in for one hell of a wedding night.”

“What?”

“Sevvie, ya bastard, you better be in peak health or we’re breaking up and I’m taking the dog with me.”

Harry let out a laugh while Severus rolled his eyes. Sirius strode around the curtains with a swagger, shoulders tense, but visibly relaxed when he saw the two of them. His magical right arm was currently a yellow rubber chicken.

“No, no, you insane mutt,” snapped Severus, gesturing to Sirius’ arm. “Get out of my hospital space with that monstrosity on your arm.”

Sirius smirked wryly and lifted the rubber chicken. “Aww, don’t like this? Is this better?” The rubber chicken transformed in a puff of smoke, leaving a rather girthy and long pink dildo in its place. Sirius grinned; Severus colored. “Oho, so, it is better—”

Sirius yelped and his prosthetic transformed into a hand. He rubbed his backside with a pout while Severus tucked his wand back into his sleeve.

“Bloody mutt,” muttered Severus.

Harry suppressed a smile.

“You’re all right,” said Sirius softly. Harry scooted on the bed, making space for him. Sirius sat next to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. Harry leaned against him as Sirius took Severus by the hand. In a rare moment, Severus’ features softened with faint affection.

“Poppy exaggerates.”

“She never exaggerates.”

Severus inclined his head and didn’t argue.

“Sirius? Is Severus all right for visitors?”

“Wotcher there, the fam’s here!”

“Uncle Harry, are you there, too?”

Harry stood up from the bed, leaving to give Sirius and Severus some alone time. Just as the curtain fluttered closed, Harry caught a glimpse of a rare, intimate moment between them: Sirius rested his forehead against Severus’ with his hand gripping Severus’ neck.

“I thought I’d lost you.”

“Never.”

Elysium's Sanctuary

Chapters 19 and 20 are unfinished at 1300 words each respectfully.

In major development. 9700 words in the document.

Badger Prey

Chapter 6 is unfinished at 2400 and will be completed for editing sooner than later.

Deathly Embrace

The final chapter is at 1700 words, but it's still in major development and is on the back burner right now.

The first four are definitely my top priorities at the moment. I want to get TBG 56 done soon, as well as BP 6 done. Plus, I really want to make a lot of headway on HoT, my new story.

A writer's job is never done. Hahaha

[isalisewrites]

it makes me laugh how instead of updating terrible but great or/and elysium's sanctuary you post new fics lmao i think it really shows how we authors are like with our projects :D /nm genuinely think it's funny

Hey...!

Okay, listen, in my defense, Moon Rite was soooo overdue for an update. Last time I updated it was August of 2024. And Deathly Embrace has been in the works since January of this year and THEN I've been convinced to give it a second chapter. God help me.

I've been sitting on the unedited completed chapter 55 of Terrible, But Great for a month, maybe two at this point... Mostly because it needs work and it's a little harder on me at the moment. BUT I HAVE ONE PAGE OUT OF 13 DONE!

I wrote 6 pages of Badger Prey 6 during church this Sunday...

And, finally, I have been working on Elysium's Sanctuary chapters 17, 18, and 19 concurrently, so hopefully those will be out closer together.

I have a lot here, lmaoooo.

I can't really say which chapter of what is next, but SOMETHING will definitely be posted sooner or later.

[isalisewrites]

Status update on moon rite, if you please?

It's still alive. The document is always open, haha.

Chapter four is currently sitting at 2500 words, but it's unfinished and unedited. It's definitely on my mind, though. I just have a lot of documents open, as you can see, hahaha.
