It’s not a question.

It never has been.

“You’re here to find a book.”

He sees her lips move, but this time it’s like she’s saying it to herself, too softly for the words to span the distance between them.

“I am.”

Highlight Day 16

Amber and Vetiver and Cedar by @rideboldlyride

Pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

Rating: E

Wordcount: 6748

Prompts: Reading Nook, Oversized Sweater, Love

Summary: Oh, this was going to be absolute hell today, but she could dress for that occasion: a permanent flush on her cheeks, black leggings and flat boots, and a pretty little black number under it all, as if he was going to see it. If she was going to live in the delusion, she’s going to thrive there. His jumper is the one bright spot in her ensemble, and she thinks it’s fitting since he’s the black hole she’s been circling.

The Fallout, Ch. 38.

For some reason the imagery of waking up in this room clung more vividly than most.

See below for the animation! (And potential spoilers?)

In one line, I love you. Part 7

I continue writing bizarre things based on one line I love from a fic I love to appreciate the writers I love.

This one is short, and just muses on the shared love we have for this ship.

"Please don't stop."

- The Phoenix by RideBoldlyRide ( @rideboldlyride )

It’s the idea that one day, it could all end. 

If one day, as he’s falling, her hand isn’t reaching for him.

If one day, the lightning comes, and he isn’t there to protect her.

It’s the thought that it could have happened, if, if, if...

If you weren’t there.

How could I fall in love if you weren’t there?

Over and over and over.

Her hands grasp his.

He knows any pain is less than the idea of losing her.

We talk of soulmates, of Omashu, of the cycle turning over and over and over and...

They meet in a coffee shop. 

Her first words are tattooed on the back of his hand. 

He is a tyrant king and she is on the run. 

He is soft and she protects him. 

Again and again and again, they fall in love.

Everyday I hold my breath. If one day I wake up at the end of the line.

There’s nothing left. The dream ended.

Please don’t go.

I can’t be left alone again, in a place where love once was. 

Please don’t stop.

I need to hear your song for the rest of my life.

@zkfanworkweek this one REALLY doesn’t count for a prompt but you must understand one thing, I love them.

Modern AU Katara HC: she had a pretty voice but is always a little off key.

Zuko can actually hit every note, but Katara is the only one who's heard him sing since he was a kid.

😭 is he too shy to sing in front of other people beside katara?

this is so cute. do they duet in the car?

DOES HE SING A SPECIAL SONG FOR HER ON HER BIRTHDAY?

i am getting really into the idea of zuko singing. hmmmmm 🤔

❤️🧡💛 tyvm lady.

Six Sentence Sunday

Posted in honor of @rideboldlyride and her fiendish Six Sentence Sunday. I’ve no clue if the below will actually make it into No Map, but never mind that.

Master Iroh had made it clear, gently and kindly as possible, that she would always have a home with him. It was an impressive claim considering the fact that Iroh owned several homes, three farms, a worthwhile vineyard, and a small island off the Cinder peninsula. Under Fire Nation law, Katara could inherit or be gifted none of it. The law did allow for...special settlements.

Special, Katara reflected, was a blanket term. It covered foreigners and bastards equally.

It's Element of Change. Solidly, 100%. I've enjoyed everything you've written, but that plot has been solid and well written the whole way through. ❤️❤️❤️

No words 🥲 My heart and soul (and many many hours of my life) are in that fic. If I could choose one work of mine for people to read it’d be EoC for sure!

Just wanted to drop on in a message on here: I just binged all of Fate Deferred, & had already read your other fic about Zuko and Katara in Ba Sing Se with their minds wiped by Dai Li a while back (my brain has forgotten the title). First off: I would read long-term married Zutara, written by you any day. That is addictive and so refreshing! I'm loving their dynamics!! And secondly: I know from experience that life interrupts, but you have a very excited reader waiting for your updates, jsyk!

Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying both stories. Established relationships are more fun for me to write, personally, than stories about how a couple gets together (though obviously in Fate Deferred I’m doing both). I really think in general we could always do with more stories about married couples confronting challenges together.

I can’t make any promises on an update schedule for either Fate Deferred or It Must Follow right now, as I’m currently focused on trying to finish the last two chapters of Sin and Duty, but rest assured that I very much intend to keep working on them as well.
