Hello! It’s with great happiness that I officially announce that me, @polly-weasley and my dear friend Ladderofyears ( @clemandben ) are going to be opening the doors for a new fest: HD Domesticity Fest!
What is this fest about, you may ask. Me and LoY were discussing about how it would be nice to have a fest exclusively for soft, warm fanfiction that were all about being domestic and warm. A fest in which we wouldn’t have to worry about heavy angst (of course, this is about being domestic, being real, so problems happen and a little angst is inevitable), in which we could have comfort, and a happy ending.
This is a fest about everything nice: being roomates living together, best-friends who become lovers, a newlywed couple dealing with their lives, a family starting to grow, saving someone from a bad situation and keeping them at your home to take care of them, maybe having an accidental bond!? The possibilities are infinite! But of course, they all should revolve around being domestic (which means, being in close quarters to each other!)
Remember: This is aaaaaall about being domestic, cuddling, cooking together, watching the telly late at night, playing games together and generally enjoying living together, be it as friends or lovers or a family.
For the rules of the fest, please click here: HD DOMESTICITY FEST RULES
Prompting starts on the 7th! I know it’s early but we hope that we can have a bit of participation in the first year of this fest. Thank you so much all of you for the support.
So yeah, I've been distant from Tumblr and AO3 as most of you have noticed... It is because I'm writing a book!
Some of you already know this, but I would like to know if you’d like to read my original story! I’m so excited to be able to publish an original now after so many years writing fandom stories. I hope you’d like to read it as you do like to read my fanfiction.
For that, I’ve created an Instagram page! I would love if you guys followed me there!
And of course I wouldn’t allow you not to have anything to think if you’d like to read it or not, so here’s an extract of Growing Love, the first book of an ABO MPREG/PREG trilogy!

Micah Edwards had his whole life figured out. He was going to be filthy rich and pampered for the rest of his life, living lazy and comfortable. It wasn’t the dream his parents wanted for him, of course. His two older siblings – alpha Jeremiah and omega Ruth – were working their arses off and being successful. Jeremiah even had an omega wife and three children, and although they both loved their kids, his wife still worked part-time at a local cafe. It wasn’t the life Micah wanted for himself, though. Of course, he knew in the modern society everybody expected an omega to work and have their financial independence, expected them not to wait for an alpha to take care of them. But Micah couldn’t care less about it. At 22, he still lived with his parents and waited for the right alpha to appear. Micah didn’t wish for love or to have a fantasy film relationship. No, he wanted a rich alpha – preferably a male alpha – that would pamper him, give him everything he could want in life, not expect him to work at all and maybe have a kid or two with him.
Micah guessed it was the only job he was willing to do, after all. Care for children. He loved babies, and even graduated in Pedagogy because of it – and just because his parents wouldn’t stop nagging him about having a higher academic degree. Micah also hated studying – he loved reading, though, and even fancied writing some fanfiction in his spare time, which meant the times when he wasn’t playing video-games, writing book reviews for his blog or recording some book review videos to post on his small channel on YouTube. The fact was that Micah loved to do his own thing, and working would take it all out of him.
He took off his headphones when he heard a soft knock on his door. He paused the game he was playing – a not so scary RPG his friend Eddie suggested – and called out. His mum opened the door, her omega scent embracing him as it usually did. She was all softness and kindness, her chubby cheeks, orange hair and black eyes, just like his, were a comfort.
“Hi, mum,” he said, looking expectantly at her. She usually didn’t come to his bedroom, so it might be important.
“Hi, sweetie. I just wanted to check if you’re going with us to the church charity. A lot of people will be there, and it would be nice to have someone to entertain the children.” She said, her voice kind as usual.
Micah was lazy as hell, but he also hated to deny anything to his mum or dad. After all, he was their late baby, the sweetheart of their house and they loved him so much…
“Of course, mum. When is it?”
“On Saturday, starting at twelve with the collective lunch time and then some games. The local farmers are all going to sell stuff and check what the artisans are going to sell. It’s going to be exciting and we will raise a lot of money for the church. God knows it needs some renovations, and it’s good to have a community feeling since a lot of new families are coming to town.”
Their town was small, with around 5 thousand habitants. Micah wasn’t naïve in any way, or so he thought, but they all had that countryside manners and accent. The town was actually pretty modern, but it was surrounded by farms and ranches, what made everything look a bit like a country song video.
“Of course, I’ll be there,” Micah said, and she kissed his forehead before leaving, closing his bedroom’s door.
He came back to his game, but not before sending a message on the group chat with his two best friends: Eddie and Lily, both omegas that he’d known since he was in his mother’s womb because their mothers were best friends with Micah’s mother.
Small town things.
Are you guys going to the charity this weekend? Mum wants me to watch the small ones.
Soon enough they replied:
Lils: Yeah, I’ll be selling baked goods my mum is going to bake. And she said we can have a box of doughnuts each. As if my hips aren’t already wide enough.
Eddie: Lils, be honest, none of us here are skinny legends. I mean, Mike is the only one who can be considered skinny between us and he’s got a tummy and a huge arse.
Mike: I haven’t got a tummy, Eddie, I’m just soft skinned. Blame it on my mum’s barbeques.
Lils: your mother’s bbqs made us all fat, Mike. My tits can’t fit my favourite bra anymore.
Eddie: ha! At least you’ve got a fat bottom to go with it. Me and Mike have the arse, but our tits are just way too tiny.
Lils: That’s because you’re male omegas, you dumb-hole. I bet you wouldn’t like to walk around with two melons attached to your chest.
Eddie: Nah, you’re right. I’m happy to have small grapes on mine.
Mike: y’all are way too horny, go find some alphas please?
Eddie: spoke the pure Christian boy. Weren’t you sucking on Brandon’s cock four months ago after one of your mum’s charity events?
Mike: He was going to the big city, I wanted to give him a gift hehe Now he’s long gone and I only have dirty books to make me happy. :c
Lils: Maybe you should find an alpha yourself, honey.
Mike: So he’ll take me away from my parents’ house and I’ll have to find a job? Nah, it has to be the perfect alpha.
Eddie: Maybe you’ll have to find a job regardless, chickpea. Your father is almost 60 already. He’ll have to retire soon, and your mum’s work at the church doesn’t pay much. You’ll be happy to live on your dad’s retirement money?
Mike: I wouldn’t be that cruel to them. Maybe I’ll have to find an alpha soon, then. A filthy rich one.
Lils: but if you don’t like him, Mike?
Mike: Lils, I don’t really care for marrying out of love, you know? I just want to have my life style. I know that, when I eventually have kids, I’ll get all the love I need from them. I just need an alpha who will pamper me and take care of me and give me the things I want. Love is overrated.
Eddie: Well, I want to marry an alpha I love. I don’t care if they have money or not.
Lils: me too. I mean, I don’t think I’d love an alpha who isn’t a hard worker, so I guess he’ll have to be an active person. But I don’t care much about money.
Eddie: yeah, what she said
Mike: well, when I’m rich maybe I’ll invite you to my pool parties
Lils: I hope you do, or else you won’t taste my mother’s doughnuts anymore.
Mike: you wouldn’t dare
Lils: try me hahahaha I’ll see you guys at the charity.
Eddie: see ya! I have to help my dad with the TV here.
Mike: night guys
Micah stared at his phone, rereading his messages. His friends were right. His time was getting shorter and shorter. He had to find an alpha, and soon.
Hi, I've seen your reblog about Snape. I read through it and although I think the marauders did bully Snape (I'm not ignoring that), I do not think it justifies his actions towards Lily, and the kids when he turns into an adult. His "love" for Lily seems rather to be an obsession - and I have a long, long argument about why I hate Snape that doesn't fit in this box. What I'm trying to say is: being bullied is not an excuse to be a bad human being, and doing what he did to Hogwart's kids.
Hi! I think this should have probably been directed at the OP of the post.
That being said...
I'm not going to say I agree or disagree with you here. But just say that all we see of Severus' story and his actions are what Harry saw. And we see them through Harry's lens and narration. It very clearly shows though that that Severus was a victim of traumatizing bullying himself. Does that excuse his behavior, no not really. But does it give us some basis for possible understanding of it? Maybe. You also have to think about, did he have any Weasley type figures in his life to help him see another way of behaving? It's doubtful. Neither did Harry, in the beginning while at the Dursleys, and he turned out all right, but then again, that epilogue skips over a good many years, doesn't it? So we don't know what happened. Obviously JKR (in her infinite wisdom, ha effing ha) decided that Severus was meant to be redeemed, like it or not, and that's what she did.
I like Severus for many reasons. He's a complex character. He's a very grey character. He's very clearly on his own side. I don't personally believe he was in (romantic/sexual) love with Lily, but I like to think it was courtly love. But that's just me. She was his first and only real friend. I think he knew he made a terrible mistake with her. And he damned himself for it. I think his protection of Harry was his way of penance.
I don't think he treated the children well, obviously, either, but I also think, didn't Dumbledore know about it? Or McGonagall? Or why didn't Madame Pomfrey say something to the Headmaster herself when the children came with boils, or elongated teeth and things? Well, because JKR didn't write it that way for one thing. Do I personally think it was right, no. Was I subject to teachers bullying me in school, yes. Not to the extent that they would have been my boggart (at least i don't think so - maybe a maths teacher) but it still happened.
Having been a teacher (albeit of adults) myself, I know that we're observed constantly, and behaviors like Severus' wouldn't likely be allowed to go on for long.
Luckily, this is a work of fiction, and we're all entitled to our own opinions of characters we like and don't like for whatever reasons.
Also, I will forever love Severus because of Alan Rickman and there will be no changing my mind about that.
YES. evidence for james being a Good Boy for his friends:
- covers for remus when he’s too sick/tired to go to class and makes notes for him (james never takes notes in class unless remus isn’t there, because he knows that remus gets stressed when he doesn’t have everything written down from every lesson)- casually refers to sirius as his brother so sirius feels like he’s part of a real family- will drop anything in an instant to make time for his friends- spends his lunch money on chocolate for remus when he’s having a shit day- is a very relaxed and good-humoured person but knows exactly what sirius is insecure about and will never laugh at him for it- knows that sirius is very jumpy and doesn’t like strangers making physical contact with him, so james will go out of his way to make sure no one gets too close to sirius if he’s not comfortable with it - will kindly tell people to fuck off if they’re mean to peter- knows that lily doesn’t like writing in pen so always has a spare pencil sharpener in his pocket for when her pencil gets blunt- has reminders on his phone to make sure remus takes his meds
