The Smith- Lupin family 

Family background 

This isn’t really a family more like an add on from Hendricks’ consequences. Now when Hendrick was in secondary school he had this girlfriend who was named Odett Smith. From Australia she and him were introduced by their parents since her dad dealt in the trade of priceless artifacts. They broke up because she cheated on him. After graduating and being MIA from each other then run into each other at a party in the end of 2004 after Arthur was born and he and Millie weren’t tougher . had a one night stand that ended in Odette becoming pregnant with both Sydeney and Aris. Now through the years Hendrick didn’t have a clue of this because his parents hide it after finding out about June and Arthur and him keeping them secret. They saw he had this perfect life and didn’t want to be the reason for running it. So Isla and the rest of the family lied for years. Until 2020 when before lockdown he found out about them and he and Odett finally had that conversation. Now he never mentions the fact he’s married with two other kids and has been since that day juggling keeping it from them to it finally breaking out and June and the rest finding after a family friend sent June an article. Now they have been playing happily ever since and he has been moving back and forth from Massachusetts and Australia to keep his life from crumbling.

The Barclay Family

Family background:

This is by far the most interesting other than the Finch and the rest of the Lupin family. This family dates and can be carried back to the Dark ages starting with Alastair Evander Barlcay. He is the True king of Scotland and seen as one of the most prominent people in Scottish history. Long story short he basically defeated the British emperor over a war that lasted six years. The very long story will be posted later. 

He was said to be the son of a god of war and a mortal woman. Freeing his and the world from the iron shackles of a greedy nation. It was said that during this war caused all the magic in the world to disappear (which June believes to be true because of the stories her Ducky has told her and shown (cheeky side eye) ). Now with that being said over the years the Barclays have lived a private life and slowly stepped back from the public. Now being pub owner and a farmer Arthur Evander Barlcay the 3rd has been protecting his land so that one day when the day comes the true ruler may rise and magic will return. Having three kinds ( 2 sons and 1 daughter) with his true love (may she rest in peace) Sorcha Barlcay. A woman who was described to have bubbly personality and a strong will to live life to the fullest which managed to melt Arthur's stone cold heart.  Sadly she passed because of a storm while helping a neighbor like in her good nature.

He distanced himself from the family because of how he grew upland his family and kids are like foreign  to them

The Lupin- Barclay Family

Family background:

This is June’s dad's side of the family. So this started with Elenor Barclay and Emmerick Lupin meeting in secondary school. They both went to this private school that used to be for boys until Elenor got in from the fact the school worked with her dad and got her a grant. Then later on even though they would annoy each other to death they soon later fall in love and have five kids. First Keegan and Hendrick, next Isla, then and last Leonora and Alderic. They are seen as perfect since they do represent the whole kingdom of the UK. Which means that they're under pressure from the standers from other people which then lead to the family kind of breaking and chipping away. Especially when they found out Hendrick fathered two kids with a foreign woman who wasn’t of any status and nothing to her name.

Winnie aka Fleur Aeria was born and raised in Kentucky into a bourbon making business which her parents raised from the ground up to give her and her siblings a better life.

Family description: 

The OG love story of enemies to lovers. After a 19 year old  Mille Lovegood and a 20 year old Hendrick Barclay meet at  a party due to their best friends dating, they have what was supposed to be a one night stand. Which then soon later turns into something more really quick. After sobering up and releasing who they were they decided to go both ways without even needing to discuss it. Then a month later Millie found out she was pregnant. So after two months she confesses her cryptic pregnancy to Hnedrick over coffee. She didn’t expect him to stick around for the account of the money and stuff but he did. Through the ups and downs of an on again and off again relationship for the next few years they welcomed their first son Arthur Lovegood and then two years later June Lovegood. Once they turned the aged five and seven they decided to make it official and get married. Even though their family might not be perfect they will always find their way back to each other.

The War Is Almost Over… but Our Struggle to Rebuild Has Just Begun.

Every day here in Gaza feels like a year carved into our chests. The war isn’t like it was in the early days—the sky is quieter, the air carries less smoke, and the nights hold fewer explosions. But the pain… it still lives under the rubble, inside our memories, and in the empty spaces where our loved ones once stood.

I’m writing this today not because the war has completely ended, but because for the first time in a long while, it feels like the horizon is opening a little. A small space where we can breathe, gather ourselves, and try to rebuild what’s left of our lives. Yet every step forward feels like walking on wounded memories, and every stone from our destroyed home whispers stories we never got to finish.

We lived through nights so heavy we thought morning would never come. We lost things that can never be replaced—homes, dreams, pieces of our hearts. But we are still here… holding on, trying, fighting to stay standing despite everything.

And in the middle of this long road… there is a house. A house that once carried laughter, warmth, noise, and life. Today, all that remains is an image holding a memory—and rubble longing for the people who once lived inside.

Today, we are trying to rebuild—not just the walls of a house, but an entire life that was shattered. We are trying to create a new beginning, to live with dignity again, to give our family a sense of safety that we’ve been missing for so long.

We’re not writing this to mourn what was lost, but to ask for a chance to start again. We ask for your support because rebuilding after a war is not something one person can do alone—it is a human effort, a shared act of compassion. We need you. We need your hearts. We need your help to stand again.

Abedmajed’s Hope: Rebuilding Our Family’s Life in Gaza

My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.

Because Gaza has no working banking system, we use my brother U.S. Stripe account to safely process donations for our family. Nothing is hidden — every dollar goes where it should. We are ready to show proof of anything, at any time.

Every contribution—no matter how small—makes a difference. It becomes part of our story, part of rebuilding a home, part of reviving a life that nearly faded.

The war may be almost over… but our journey back to life begins now.

🌿✨ Thank you to every soul who still feels our pain, and to everyone who reaches out a hand to help us rise again.

One thing golden era Wattpad writers had going for them was that they knew the importance of a buildup. I'm of the opinion that the sexual tension is WAY more satisfying to read than the actual sex and quite frankly there is a serious lack of non smutty writing.

Like I really miss reading fics/ x readers that start from scratch. Meeting the characters, initial reactions getting to know them, the tension the jealousy the TENSION the freaking tension.

Looking and looking away when they get spotted, touches that feel like they linger but perhaps they didn't and they're both so hot for each other that they think it's wishful thinking. And I don't mean just sweet sunshine romances, darker works can have a buildup too but it seems like so much is just about getting to the smut instead of the psychological aspect.

Bring back the build up!!!!!!!
