The Language of the Stars

I'm sensing a star theme with me... My entry for the quidditch fest, a gift for dear albuss. Aerial circus is one of my passions and as soon as I saw this prompt I just had to draw it.

🗡🗡🗡

I am so excited to be finally sharing this with you for the Quidditch Fest author reveals. Writing this has been a blast, and I can gladly say that this is my favourite fic that I’ve ever written so far. HRHR is the epitome of my brand: angst and darkness galore, and I’m very proud of it.

A million thanks to my friends @inksplashedsky and @darkharryjames, you besties were the first people to hear about this fic when this was just a teeny tiny baby idea. HUGE thank you to my betas @nv-md and @m0srael for helping me make this fic more coherent, lord knows I have no idea what I’m saying sometimes because English is hard and you both have been so much help. Thank you so, so much.

And of course, massive thank you to the incredible @quidditchfest mods, it’s been an adventure and honour writing for this fest!

Thank you so much to those who have read, commented, and kudosed already and to those who are about to read, I hope you like this fic as much as I loved writing it.

I often make playlists for my fics, so here is the Spotify playlist for Hands Red, Hands Red if you fancy listening to the songs that inspired this fic :)

30/10/21 Update: @e-vangeiion made a book cover art for this fic! Thank you so much lovely ❤️ You may check it out on the first chapter :)

Quidditch Fest Rec List

There were SO MANY delightful fics for @quidditchfest and I read them all and these are four of my favorites:

Split Figs in Summer by @the-starryknight (Drarry, E, 8k)

Have you too never fully escaped your classics phase? Do you love lush descriptions and innovative, brief world building? Then this fic may be for you!

Once a Flier by Albuss (Flintwood, E, 4k)

Do you also have sports-related trauma? As a former competitive runner, this fic *hurt* in just the best way. This is the type of fic that makes me so happy fanfiction and fandom exists as we heal and create together. 

Something Good to Always Keep by @seekercass (Cedric/Harry/Draco, E, 17k)

Harry deserves a nice throuple. End of story.

They Bought a Sports Bar by @fw00shy (Cho/Ginny, T, 2.3k)

I’m not just recc’ing this because it was gifted to me, but I’m highlighting this fic because it’s a brilliant and perfect addition to the steady growing good ship of Cho/Ginny. The structure is so perfect - so harmoniously formed. Read it!

A Descent into Delicious Delirium by J_Amethyst for swisstae

Title: A Descent into Delicious Delirium

Rating: M

Wordcount: 27,273

Content Tags: Quidditch Player Harry Potter, Quidditch Player Draco Malfoy, Enemies to Lovers, Angst with a Happy Ending, Slow Burn, Unresolved Sexual Tension, Resolved Sexual Tension, Implied Sexual Content, Sexual Humor, Drinking, Clubbing, Drunk Harry Potter, Bets & Wagers, Pining Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter in Denial, Period-Typical Homophobia, Quidditch Seekers, The Daily Prophet.

Harry makes a few piss-poor decisions. Malfoy’s still a rich prick. The lesson to be learned here: Don’t engage in a disastrous game of chicken. Unless, of course, you enjoy the idea of a naked photoshoot, and the entire Wizarding World believing you get off on Malfoy. The following is a recount of the course of events that unfolded. *All named persons have consented to the retelling of this story with stipulations of authorial dramatic flair. The author does not condone the views expressed and reflected by Rita Skeeter, The Daily Prophet, and other associated entities.

Now to thank some truly wonderful people, and a customary over-the-top spiel about how sappy I am about this fic.

I am unbelievably over the moon to finally talk about and share this fic with everyone. Writing this was such an amazing experience, and is possibly one of my favourite fics I've written to date. I feel like I say this every time a new fic gets revealed, but honestly speaking, every time I think about this fic I feel all happy inside.

Now that this fic is revealed, I can finally share that this Several Sentence Sunday post that a lot of people seemed to like is actually the deleted scene from this fic.

I want to thank everyone who helped make this story possible, so without further ado, give it up to all these phenomenal people: My alphas, @manixzen and @fantalf, you are both wonderful and were absolutely integral to this fic. From helping me with the tone and the pacing, and perfecting the events of the story.

To my beta @cam-the-chameleon, I don't even know what to say, because no words seem enough. Without you I don't think this fic would have even be possible. You are so thorough and your suggestions are always genius, some of my all time favourite moments in this fic were from your brilliant mind (WAGGLY, Horny Porker, doesn’t seem so inclined to keep away from big pairs of balls!) -- just to name a few.

Seriously, I am so proud of this story and I hope that everyone who read it enjoyed it as much as I did writing.

To the @quidditchfest mods, thank you for creating such an amazing fest. This was the very first fest I ever signed up to, and all I can say is that I am so glad to have participated.

Finally, to @swisstae. Your comments on every chapter of this fic were amazing, I am truly astonished. Thank you so, so much for all your love on that fic, I can't stop myself from going back and reading your comments... And dying a bit inside.

This fic was a lot of firsts. For one, it went through many, many changes during its infant stage. The time skips and the Prophet Article titles actually came a lot later on in the writing process. I was about half way into the fic when I completely changed the whole timeline, shifted scenes around, and decided to try the time skip headings. It was all a bit experimental, I had no idea if I was going to keep it in the final cut, but at the end of the day I'm so glad I did, because the time skips make Delicious Delirium what it is.

For the first time, I tried my hand at a little more light-hearted humour. Most of the fic is just me trying to make myself giggle with my shitty twelve-year-old humour. I'm so glad that my beta Cam shares this same humour, because we really did bounce off each other perfectly. Re: Horny Porker, doesn’t seem so inclined to keep away from big pairs of balls!

The Prophet Articles were also really entertaining to write, my favourite one is the Lockhart article. If you've read the fic, you know the one. Am I allowed to give myself a pat in the back for coming up with that Lockhart joke? Because I love it, and I was absolutely grinning when a commenter pointed that one out.

Thank you to everyone who engaged with the fic, it means the world.

Fic Claim - Stars (around her scars)

HP Quidditch Fest 2021 💫 Rated T

Summary: Ginny used to be famous, the star Chaser of the Holyhead Harpies. But after an old injury from the war reawoke, everything changed.

A few Prophet headlines later, she became the new Flying Instructor at Hogwarts. Next to the exciting life of an international Quidditch player, a life of teaching teenagers seemed dull and monotonous.

The meeting of a certain Charms professor might just change her mind...

“I’m the new Charms Professor, Cho Chang. Pleased to meet you again.”

Cho extended her hand and Ginny shook it without really thinking. She remembered obsessing over the Ravenclaw Seeker, watching with envy as she got to hold Harry’s hand. It seemed like forever ago, now.

“Of course I remember you, sorry. I just didn’t recognize you. You–” you’ve become so beautiful, I never noticed the jut of your collarbone or the dimple near your mouth before… “You’ve changed.” Ginny finished lamely.

I am so excited to finally talk about this fic! Writing this story was just so much fun! The inspiring prompts pushed me to go out of my comfort zone, and I’m really happy with the result! Thank you to the @quidditchfest ​mods for hosting such a wonderful fest!

Of course, this story would be tragically unfinished if it weren’t for the best of betas and friends, @curlyy-hair-dont-care​! Her lovely notes and compliments are the reason I didn’t succumb to the crippling anxiety of writing characters for the first time!

Anyway, if you’re curious, you can read this on Ao3!

Fic Claim for @quidditchfest: Something Good to Always Keep Prompt #: 21 Rating: Explicit Pairing: Cedric Diggory/Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter Word Count: 17,500k Warnings: Recreational Drug Use, Recreational Drinking, References to Depression, References to Dementia (not C/H/D) A/N: Written for @mystickitten42 who gets all the love for their amazing prompt. Thank you all for you reading and your comments. I fell in love with this pairing far more than I could ever realize. You've not seen the last of them.

Harry knows he can’t have Draco or Cedric. Or whatever is going on between them for that matter. He has always been good at pretending, a skill he perfected when he was younger. Fantasizing about things was a comfort to him on the hard days. Nowadays, he lets himself hope a little; that Draco wants more than just a soft mouth, a body to sleep next to at night. And just maybe, Cedric wants Harry, too. It shouldn’t be this overwhelming. To want both of them so much.

Or, Harry sees Cedric for the first time in years at Oxford. He’s the captain of the volleyball team and Draco is their setter. Harry joins the team for more than just selfish reasons. He’s broken dozens of rules before, what was a few more at the expense of his own heart?

Read on AO3!
