“He’s just a boy.”

Yes, Draco, the answer is yes. ❤️

Mr. Hopeless Romantic over here is very sensitive this time of year 😂

Valentine’s Day Post Number 1!

Headcanon that when they get married Draco asks for a condition — that he gets to be overly romantic on Valentine’s Day and get her as many extravagant gifts as he wants since she normally protests and won’t accept them.

Hermione agrees because though she finds the actual gifts unnecessary watching Draco get flustered and excited to give them to her is the actual gift of the day 🎁❤️

I'm excited to announce that I have signed a book deal with Del Rey at Penguin Random House in the US and Michael Joseph in the UK for my debut novel, Alchemised, a standalone dark fantasy set in a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy, in which a healer with amnesia is taken as a prisoner of war and must fight to protect her lost memories and the secrets hidden among them. It will grapple with themes of trauma and survival, legacy, and the way that love can drive one to extreme darkness, and it is, as you may be able to tell, a reimagined version of Manacled.

I know I’ve been rather quiet about my publishing journey, and a lot of that has been because I didn’t want to spark any concerns or worry that I might be abruptly taking away a story that is such a deep part of myself and that I know has meant so much to so many people. This process has unfolded very slowly and quietly because I have tried to be mindful as I could be in every step of the way. 

As most of you know, I have been a reader in fandom long before I ever began to write. Fanfiction is incredibly special to me, and I have tried to do my best not to undermine its legal protection or allow my works to do so either. During the last several years, there has been a growing issue with illegal sales of Manacled, putting both me and the incredible community that shares fanfiction freely in legal jeopardy. 

After consulting with the OTW as well as other lawyers, it has grown clear that as a transformative writer I have limited options in protecting my stories from this kind of exploitation, but I wasn’t sure what to do; I didn’t want to just take the story down, in part because I worried that might only exacerbate the issue, but I didn’t know what other options I had. Then I suddenly had this idea of alchemy, which was peculiarly appropriate; an academic world filled with unique transmutational abilities, and a necromantic war against people who had discovered the secrets of immortality, and I could see a path to reimagining the story while still holding on to as much of the original spirit of Manacled as possible. 

I began redrafting the concept privately around Christmas 2022, and then as if the universe had aligned, just as I was finishing, Caitlin Mahony and Rivka Bergman of WME reached out to me and were delightfully enthusiastic about concepts and ideas for my new alchemical world and the ways I had reimagined the story. 

I'm thrilled to be working with Emily Archbold, my visionary editor at Del Rey, along with Rebecca Hilsdon at Michael Joseph in the UK, to polish this novel for publication in Fall 2025. I feel uniquely privileged that both my publishing teams are familiar with Manacled and understand how special it is to so many people, and how important it is that this reimagining captures the same spirit while also having its own wings. 

Manacled is not going anywhere at present. It will remain online throughout 2024, at which point it will, if you’ll pardon the pun, alchemise for 2025 and be removed from AO3. 

I'm so thankful to all of you who've enjoyed my works, and I hope that I can continue to rely on your support as I take my next steps as an author.

#this made my ENTIRE FUCKING DAY #BEST NEWS EVER #I AM CRYING #I’m so proud of how far you’ve come as an author (i say this as if I know you personally lmfao) #BUT I’M PROUD NEVERTHELESS #manacled #dramione

“I didn’t tell a soul, Granger.” In the daylight, he looked even paler. He moved closer to her until he towered over her. She guessed he was 6 feet 5. She lifted her head in defiance. She wasn’t scared of him. “Because if I was the one who ran my mouth about this, I wouldn’t have left out a single detail.” He leaned in closer, whispering next to her. “I would have told them I watched you touching yourself for several minutes in the dark. Skirt hiked up. Dripping wet.” Her eyes scanned the crowd around them. They couldn’t hear him but she still felt heat rise in her neck. “I would have told them how you came with my ring between your legs. Tell me, can you still feel my insignia against your clit?”
