when the fic has 10k+ words, fluff, angst, smut right at the end, friends to lovers, character whoâs down bad for reader, AND Y/N DOESNT ACT LIKE A CHILD
it's so embarrasing adding tags to a post. no please don't look over there please think i'm nonchalant and don't care about whether people find my posts or not me please spare me
when the fics are so good you start getting into fandoms you've never heard of before just because the author wrote for them and you want to read more of their work
also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
ok ok imagine this. the reader and oliver wood (yes this is a request for the best gryffindor out there (fight me)) are proper quidditch rivals but are on the same team. itâs proper âmy strategies are better than yoursâ type thing and everyone on the team is like âoh my god this is the worstâ but behind closed doors theyâre like the sweetest couple ever. youâd not even think that on the pitch theyâre mortal enemies against themselves if you know what I mean!????
Off the Pitch (Oliver Wood X Gryffindor!Reader)
Masterlist | Request Something!
Summary: If someone were to ask anyone of the Gryffindor quidditch team about you and Oliver Wood, theyâd all say roughly the same thing. That when you were anywhere near each other, youâd immediately become insufferable. But they soon learn that your behavior off the pitch is entirely different.
A/N: oliver and reader are 7th years so POA. Warning for drinking/getting drunk ig. Kinda hints at nsfw towards the end

Harry could hear you and Oliver long before he could see you. Your arguing seemed to be amplified by the giant Quidditch pitch surrounding you.
âYouâre ridiculous, Wood, really!â You barked, slamming the brush of your broom on the ground like you were stomping your foot. âA practice session this early is absurd.â
âMay I remind you, Iâm your captain, L/n?â Oliver said with a volume similar to yours, but he tried to have a more composed demeanor. âDonât tell me how to do my job.â
You let out a laugh that completely lacked amusement. âOh, I will. Because, may I remind you, Iâm Head Girl? It would be a shame if Hooch and McGonagall knew how many practices you really schedule. That must be a type of violation, cutting into studentsâ study time and such.â
âThatâs ridiculous!â Oliver stepped closer to you, giving an incredulous look. âI swear, ever since I rejected your play strategies last week, youâve been giving me trouble.â
âWell, itâs certainly frustrating when your captainâs a stubborn man with blockheaded ideas on what to do with his chasers.â
That triggered a louder argument between you and Oliver, and all Harry could do was watch. This was far from his first time witnessing one of your spats with the Gryffindor Quidditch captain, and he doubted it would be the last. Part of Harry wondered how you could function as team members with the constant bickering, especially over how Oliver should run his team. But in the end, as long as Gryffindor was winning matches, he didnât mind too much.
âTrouble in paradise?â Harry suddenly found himself sandwiched between the Weasley twins, who watched the scene in front of them.
âTheyâve been at it for a while.â Harry said with a sigh. âIâd stop them, but the sooner they stop, the sooner we have to do drills.â All three boys grimaced at the thought of what hell Oliver would put them through during practice today.
âOi!â Fred and Georgeâs fiery red hair caught Oliverâs eye, and the young man turned his attention to your spectators. âWhat are you lot gawking at?â
âJust enjoying the view, Ollie!â George grinned.
âOh, yes,â Fred jumped in. âWe just love how passionate you two get.â
Oliver huffed in annoyance, and his cheeks turned pink. âGo get changed before I make you run laps.â Not bothering to see if the boys listened to his instructions, he turned back to you. âAnd you, lass⊠If you know whatâs good for you, youâll stop giving me so much sass.â
Instead of agreeing and running off like any other player would, you gave a sweet, innocent smile.
âAnd if you know whatâs good for you, youâll get your broom out of your arse.â

A week later, Harry was sitting at a table in the common room with Ron and Hermione, hunched over a DADA essay that was due the next morning. He and Ron were the ones scrambling, as Hermione had completed it the other day. She was with them to do some âlightâ reading and lead the boysâ essays in the right direction.
The portrait door to the common room opened, which caught the threeâs attention because of how late it was. Out of the corridor emerged a group of seventh years, clearly filled with giggle water and firewhiskey as they failed to suppress their laughs and loud âwhispers.â Last to come in was the drunk student's herder, Oliver Wood. He seemed to be the least plastered of them all. And there you were next to him, clearly drunk and clinging to him so you didnât trip over your own feet.
The sight was very confusing for Harry, as he had never seen you two get this close unless it was to argue face to face on defensive strategies until you were nose to nose. And Harry had never seen you treat each other so⊠nicely?
âOllie, Iâm tired.â You whined into his shoulder, dragging your feet until you slowed to a stop.
Oliver took your hand, squeezing it before pulling you towards him. âI know, lass. Just up the steps and then to bed.âÂ
Just looking at the start of the staircase, you knew you were too drunk and tired to get to your room. Your eyes were already heavy, and you were still standing up, although that was mainly because Oliver was holding you up and against his chest.
âCan you carry me?â
It seemed instantaneous in your drunken state, Oliver picking you up with ease and taking you up the stairs. You giggled and kissed his lips before settling down with your head on his shoulder. Harry watched in complete shock, but when he turned back, he was met with confused faces.
Harry shook his head so hard that his glasses slipped down the bridge of his nose. âNo, you donât get it. I have never seen them act like that before. On the pitch, they seem like colleagues at best, and thatâs when theyâre not at each otherâs throats.â
âI dunno.â Ron shrugged. âThey all seemed pretty smashed; maybe itâs a one time thing.â
âSo smashed they became different people?â Harry retorted, finally adjusting his glasses and returning to his essay. But he didnât even write a word before Hermione spoke.
âAre you really that blind?â
Harry and Ron looked at her, then each other, then her again. She asks them a version of this question almost every day, and they still havenât come up with a response. So the boys stare at Hermione, waiting for her to just tell them what she knows.
She sighs. âTheyâre going out.â She said in the most obvious, matter-of-fact tone. Yet it still blew Harryâs mind. âHave been since weâve started at Hogwarts, I think. They probably just leave it out of the pitch.âÂ
âThen why are they always fighting?â
âHarry, you know theyâre both mad about Quidditch.â Ron said. âBesides, Fred and George say they mainly do it to get the other worked up.â
Ronâs friends looked at him curiously. âWorked up?â
âYeah.â
âFor what?â
âDunno.â The redhead shrugged. âThey never said. But I have a feeling them going upstairs like that has something to do with it.â
