the most memorable scene you’ve written in my opinion, is the scene when harry confronts simon after learning about nathan’s illegitimacy and simon’s betrayal from orion

the ✨angst✨

the ✨drama✨

the ✨need to punch simon in the face✨

Ahh yes, that's a spicy scene indeed! Harry's anger and protective feelings towards Nathan are so sweet to write about. Harry is, at his core, so wonderful in that he can feel so much love towards someone he's never even met. His capacity to just empathise with someone is one of my favourite things about him.

And when he turns that defensive nature against the person who hurt someone he cares about? Ohhh boy do I love exploring that. If you fall under his protection, you literally could not be safer. I love him so much.

Also, Simon is a little prick and I got a lot of vindictive pleasure in making him squirm.

The scene I always think about is from IBTY/YBTM where Harry as Nathan comes bak to Slytherin and within the first ten minutes flips a kid, breaks another nose and elbows the last.

It it so well written and perfectly action paced that I honestly see it like a moive in my mind and it's what got me hooked on the fic.

Everyone's reaction to it is great to but the fact I knew just how they felt through Harry pov just proves how great you write!

We do love a competent Harry! I had to do a little bit of research on that scene, and had to ask my sister for some medical knowledge about the nose-break, but yesssss! It sets up Harry so well, in my eyes. The introduction of sassy-takes-no-shit 'Nathan' to everyone else was such a delight to write.

And the knowledge that that fight was more like a little tussle to Harry (when you see just how strong he is later on) is hilarious to me.

Thank you so much! 💕💕

the scene in the ether w death is ybtm (ibty) - tbh that whole section with the going into hogsmeade, the fight, the ether. makes me scream every time i reread it

Ooohh yes, that chapter was so hard and yet so so fun to write! I don't often reread my own stuff, but that's definitely a chapter I actually like to read through!

I especially love going through the comments though on that one because the chaos and excitement is delicious. Watching everyone lose their minds was such a reward for me!

I just read “The ‘Bill adopts Harry’” as ‘The Bill adopts Harry’ and immediately wondered why I didn't remember this clear gem of an au where the Muggle police force, either through an individual or collectively, adopt a runaway Potter. Absolute genius, I thought, imagine the aurors and the muggle police interactions, I thought. Then I read along and came to my senses.

btw my most memorable scene you’ve ever written is honestly through the Voltron fics which is how I found you- when Zarkon is just replaying the security feed of Keith again and again.

since then YBTM has stolen my whole heart and my most memorable moment is when Nathan gets Caught TM by Dumbledire.

anyway thank you for all of your amazing stories, you are so good at what you do that you managed to make me believe ‘The Bill adopts Harry’ would be a grand masterpiece without ever reading a line or the idea ever existing thank you and good night.

What a wild idea! very different, but I can see it so clearly hahah. The police get called on the Dursleys one day, Harry gets taken out of their house and is adopted by a police officer who has issues with this magical school bullshit. She absolutely tries to shoot Voldemort at least once because "fuck all of your crazy, you Halloween store reject". Beautiful. Harry not wanting to get involved in the wizarding world, instead wanting to grow up to be like his new badass mum. No one knows what's happening anymore and it's chaos. I'd read it 😂😂

And omg my voltron fics are so old and unrefined but such a fun throwback! I both cringe away from them and am oddly proud of them!

And oh yeah, Harry is really bad at the whole 'avoid notice' thing. His conversation with Dumbledore was so fun to write because I knew going in that he was going to say something Extra Dumb and was so excited for it hahaha

I'm so happy you've liked my stuff so far! I seem to be able to get people very invested in ideas that I'm very bad at coming through with, but it's all part of the fun, I guess! 💕💕

the most memorable scene in your figs for me is when Harry touches a shade at the black lake in ybtm!! it's probably my favorite subplot after the MoD reveal and all that sorta business.

That scene actually came out of nowhere! It wasn't supposed to go like that - or happen so early in the story at least. Poor Harry was Big Confused and only a little traumatised, but it worked out well!

Thanks!

Most memorable moment : ybtm (ibty) I remember being so excited when the new chapter came out and I read this particular scene time and time again - when Harry conversation with death as he realised that he wasn't in the "past"

Ooooohhh yes! The chapter that completely changed the story! I was so nervous when I posted it hahahaha but the response absolutely blew me away! I was so relieved that people liked the twist!

Everyone already said mine!!!! I would also say the hogsmeade scene, the Nathan Simon confrontation, and Nathan breaking that kid’s face from ybtm ibty as the three most memorable scenes for me.

I also love all of your Orion scenes (when he holds Harry’s hand, when he’s like “wow you have a dirty mouth” the centaur scene. Just all of it. I love your Orion).

And the scene where Harry teaches that girl protego and she’s like “why would I listen to you? You suck at magic” and then he shields himself from Tom. Oh and when he flings the gryffindors down the hall and Tom is like hmm this isn’t Nathan.

That’s a lot of scenes haha but they’re all so good I couldn’t pick one!!!

I just love the scenes people pick from ybtm! They are so varied and it's so awesome that so many different scenes are so memorable! And yes, Orion, the loveable sociopath. He's the breakout character for sure!

Thank you so much! I love hearing these! I've been feeling a little down lately, so reading all of these has helped remind me how fun writing is!
