can we get more info on ur darkworld au 🥹(i love it btw)

Eheh... SO SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY! This has been in my drafts... LETS GO

I haven't talked about the Dark World au in a hot minute and while going through some of my posts I've noticed alot of inconsistencies in the story that I'm gonna clear up in this post alongside yk.. some fun stuff!!! Scorbus, Delphi, the Order, more about Halfblood pets., Etc!!!!!!!!!

CC DARK WORLD AU INFODUMP

- Albus was raised by Delphi, and has very little contact with the big man himself outside of seeing him in the Manor and being at meetings. Additionally, Albus is Voldemorts Wand breaker.

- Delphi doesn't like letting him out of his room unless she wants him to run a task, or she's in a good enough mood she lets him free roam. When Albus gets older, she begins to let him out the room at all times so long as he is back before she is in bed.

- Delphi likes to set up playdates with Albus and her cousin Scorpius. She does it to both be condescending towards Scorpius who she sees as weak and soft despite being infamously cruel, and also because it helps her pet learn pureblood etiquette since she is too lazy to train him now that she's actually working under Voldemort

- They're kinda of like a kid and the dog they got for Christmas that they stop caring about eventually but will throw a tantrum if you try get rid of it.

- Severus has never spoken to Albus face to face, despite seeing him in person several times. They have only communicated through letters that are passed to eachother in the most discreet way they can. This is to avoid being intercepted, since Voldemort has a close eye on Albus' owl.

- The Order don't fully trust Albus but they try to hide it since he is Harrys son. Hermione is the first to mention how she's worried about when he eventually manages to come to a meeting, and that they should find a way to feed him false information atleast for the first few times just to make sure he isn't passing it on to Delphi.

- Adults refer to him as Albus, but Delphi and the Hogwarts students all refer to him as Munin. He doesn't like either name .

- Scorpius is not a good person, but he isn't inherently evil. He believes in what he has been raised to believe in, but his Mother's gentle touch while he was younger stopped him from falling so deep that he'd be irrational.

- Scorpius and Albus run away together at 18, and they constantly jump from place to place because there's always someone on their tail. They eventually return to Scotland when they are older to help The Order, but are in hiding with Ron and Hermione.

- Scorpius secretly loves muggle things, but he is so deeply ashamed of it even after years of being 'reformed' that he never indulges.

- Scorbus is not a healthy relationship, and is built strongly on ignoring what they don't want to talk about. For example, Albus never mentions that Scorpius has tortured Muggleborns, and Scorpius doesn't use Mudblood infront of him (well on purpose, sometimes it slips out. Albus wouldnt mention it anyway.).

- Delphi is evil, but not too far gone. Her ability to love and feel empathy hinders her from fulfilling the expectations she thinks Voldemort has for her. This doesn't mean she is redeemed, but I wanted to mention it so her situation with Albus makes more sense.

- Having Halfbloods as pets is the norm for richer pureblood families. Some find them dirty, but they are a symbol of money and power and having one makes you respectable. Typically, they should be in similar rags to a house elf, but with a richer fabric that has the family crest stitched onto it. It isn't common, but you can also find some that are wearing so much jewelery around their neck that they slouch. This is another way to flaunt your wealth.

- Never have two Halfbloods. It's uncouth and grounds for breeding

- Albus is odd for a Pet, because he's always dressed in beautiful feathery robes and he's well washed and has no bruises on him. Unlike most Halfbloods who are locked in a room until its time to show them off, Albus runs Delphis errands for her and has a way to his walk that makes you think he's important. His speech is clear and he has the accent you'd hear from other purebloods. If he wasn't so clearly branded in Augurey fashion, nobody would assume he was Harry Potters son

- On that note, people are aware he is a Potter, but nobody is allowed to mention it.

- Halfblood pets can be bought, but sometimes they are caught and "trained" by the family themselves. Rare, because mostly they get put down.

- Really quick. Not all Halfbloods are pets, however they have alot more laws put on them and breaking any of those laws no matter how small can have you sent to be trained and then sold.

- The Malfoys don't have a pet, which has brought backlash, but Draco is firm on his decision of it being "too dirty" (he thinks it's a horrible practice)

- Draco eventually joins The Order. This is in the gap where Scorbus have ran away, and he is so concerned for his son and the witch hunt they are setting on him that he goes to Snape and begs for help, and voila.

- Hermione and Ron are strongly against this decision, and that opinion never goes away even when he proves himself. At most, it sithers into them begrudgingly dealing with his presence.

- I'm still unsure of the ending to this au, but right now it's turning out to be hopeful.

OKAY that's all I have rn um IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER THEM OR IF you want more detail on something specific. I will make a whole post surrounding it YAY THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK!!

Leaving my hidey hole to tell all Severitus enjoyers to go read Acid Reigns by Mothboss on AO3 and also the other fic they have in the Storm Surge series "Grease and Lightning".

Amazing fic 400,000+ words so it's a nice long read with lots of fluffy content. Snape acts as more of a big brother but it's VERYYY familial and its extremely sweet and it deals with the whole situation realistically. I'd say it's relatively in character besides Snape (kinda? I think he's in character for the situation) but that's explained in the first fic of the series (43,000 words).

I'd been putting it off because I only really enjoy Father-Son Severitus, but I finally gave it a try a while ago and it was PHEONEMENAL I read it at every opportunity. The original characters are also written great and the whole story is just so well fleshed out. Recommend HEAVILY!!!

Al watch out there's a shrimp on your head

Shrimp Albus (Shralbus) close up down here

[shrimpalbuspotter]

Sorry about my lack of posts gang. I've not lost any interest in HP I've just been unmotivated to finish anything I think of and have drafted anything I make. Also I've been busy with doctor appointments and other such things. Hopefully I'll be up to posting soon!

[shrimpalbuspotter]

The day people grasp that you can criticise a character and also enjoy the character is the day I rest happy.

[shrimpalbuspotter]

I am so sorry for lack of posts on my end as of recent... stuff has been hectic lately and I've always put my wellbeing ahead of my social-media life so I don't wanna rush myself into posting/fixing up drafts/writing fics since I know they won't be very coherent.

In the meanwhile, things I am working on and which will be out as soon as I am out of this slump are:

- "Marauders era Snape centric fic", quite low on my priority list since I have like 5 other much more important things I need to write for my classes and I just don't have the energy to also go home and write in my free time

- "In defense of Albus 'Severus' Potter", have been working on this any time I can, probably my top priority since it something I'm very passionate about but it'll take a while to be out since again, not alot of spare time and also I'm trying to pull up as much stuff as I can to add to it

- "Cursed Child band fic", lowest on the priority list solely because its not really planned and I don't have many ideas for it besides the main plot.

- "Dark Lord Albus Severus", I've written half of my answers for both asks I've gotten on this specific topic but plan to erase one and just link it to the other post. I just keep forgetting to be fair It's pretty low down in drafts...

- "Why Scorpius is a Slytherin and not a Ravenclaw" ok it came to me just last night and I had so many ideas and want it out ASAP. probably will be my next post!

And um... that's it! I don't know why I felt the need to make this post but usually when I blank an account link this it means I've made another one for another media I enjoy more now. This isn't what happened here!!! I still love Harry Potter!!! And to my 3 other accounts, I'm so sorry

[shrimpalbuspotter]

You should start pumping out those snirius and jeverus fics, all your prompts are so juicyyyy

I really should and I'd honestly love to write all the ideas that come to my head but I have so much shit going on at the moment that my opportunity's to sit down and plan and write have been thin and far between :,-)

For the mean time I will throw all my little thoughts onto tumblr for people to eat up and possibly take inspiration from

(Also, thank you anon, tehe)
