Our first NottPott fanwork festival is ready to launch this Sunday, June 14th!
The theme is Love at First Sight. The Love at First Sight NottPott Festival is about celebrating two things:
The moment you fell in love with the pairing
The moment Harry and Theo fall in love with each other
More Details Under the Cut ⬇️
This is a prompt meme! That means if you already have an idea rattling around in your brain for a one-shot, a meet cute, a drabble, a poem, a song, a podfic of a fic you have an idea for, a piece of art, comic, sketch, WHATEVER - then this festival is for you! If it captures the moment Theo has that sinking realization that he's somehow fallen way too deep for Harry and he has no idea when he got there, or if it's the day that Harry loudly (and maybe violently) declares to the world that Theo is his and no one is allowed to hurt him, or maybe it's simply the first instance they felt butterflies for each other, or maybe it's them apologizing after a fight, or maybe....
Okay, you get the idea.
In this prompt meme, you can submit as many ideas as you like! Tropes, tags, situations, inspirational quotes, anything. You must submit a prompt that loosely describes your own work if you plan to self-claim.
But! If you want some outside inspiration, you can also claim some open prompts and go wherever your muse takes you.
This festival is meant not only to highlight our two favorite characters, but also to highlight the moment you fell in love with NottPott (or Theorry or Runeseeker, however you like to name the pairing!). Whatever it is about NottPott that just does it for you, chase that trope! Write that one-shot!
Prompting and Claiming will open simultaneously on Sunday, June 14th.
Creators have two months to work on their piece for the festival. Please join our discord server (submit an ask for the link!) to join a supportive community of writers, artists, and readers 💗💗
Claiming Closes and Submissions are due on August 14th.
All works will be revealed the following day, August 15th, and everything submitted to the collection on AO3 will be highlighted individually one day at a time!
Start thinking about your ideas for works and prompts. Rules and details will be posted on Sunday and and stickied to this blog.

Series: Part 3 of All The Bitter Mistakes
Summary:
Mistakes were made. Harry Potter is not one of them, despite how many acted. Theo isn't a mistake either, even if Harry's twin doubts it at first.
Mistake are the eyes turned elsewhere, the child set free on his own accord, even if it's to make his own mistakes.
(all of them have consequences)
Voldemort is dead; that's the least of their problems.

❝He starts taking note of Nott outside of their study sessions, ... he doesn’t think that Nott is up to anything suspicious. He certainly doesn’t think that he’s trying to kill anyone. He just... wants to figure him out. Nott’s still a mystery and Harry likes mysteries when they aren’t trying to kill him.❞
