I struggle with what to say, when I know well that words are not enough to express my gratitude. You saved me from the darkness… and guided me back to the light. Thank you, Professor. With all that I am, I thank you.

Just a regular morning in the Greengrass garden. They just never received letters from Wiltshire before…

“I’m sorry I wasn’t here. Not just tonight, but everyday. I haven’t been here. I know that now.”

“I would sell my soul for another minute with Astoria”

The Wisteria in the background inspired by the fic Beneath the Wisteria by @thealmostrhetoricalquestion!

“Listen to me. I don’t care. I don’t care. I want you.”

Astoria tenderly kissed the part of him that he hated most and, after a long time, he felt truly loved.

Finally Some Good Fucking News

[fromtheashesofvalyria]

The concept of the Entities was good, Mr. Jonny Sims, because you’ve managed to combine primal horror with the primal love of sorting people and things into categories and then arguing with your friends about those sorting choices, like Hogwarts Houses for serial killers and bags of teeth. God I fucking love sorting.

the summer after the war, all pansy wants to do is get out. home isn’t home; her parents don’t understand, could never understand, and every single thing in the house reminds her of her mistakes. she doesn’t quite know how to respond when she recieves an owl inviting her to the burrow. she’s both surprised and not, somehow.  she packs her bags and leaves the next day, and as she knocks on the door, heart pounding, she tells herself if they hurt her as revenge it would only be justice. instead, she is welcomed with open arms. the house is warm and messy and a little quiet. pansy has the softest summer she’s ever had. ron weasley sits next to her in the big yard almost every day; sometimes he holds her, and he understands. they sit together and allow themselves to heal.

ron/pansy, for the @hprarepairnet & @slytherdornet summer challenge

So do you think enemies to lovers isn't toxic?

It can be toxic but for that matter any ship can be toxic. It is not inherently toxic which is the interpretation many have of it. I cannot find the thread right now but I saw a great discussion about it a while ago:  

When people compare enemies-to-lovers to abusive relationships it's laughable because "in what world does your abuser present themselves to you as your enemy?". That is an integral part of an abusive relationship, the gaslighting and this thought you have that your abuser loves you, that they cannot be mistreating you. 

Enemies-to-lovers are not that because enemies are often and usually on equal and opposite playing feels. There is no idealization, there is grit and determination and a sheer want to overpower and hate that person. You do not try to hate your abuser. You can wake up one day when you're fifty and realize that you have spent your life in an abusive relationship you did not realize was one.

Yes there are bad examples of enemies-to-lovers where there is no clear resolution from one character earning a redemption arc, but there are also plenty that are well done. In the well done relationships, both people have seen the worst parts of each other and love each other despite that. They love the part of the other person that can hate, and they do not idealize their significant other.

They see each other as flawed humans. How much less toxic can you get than that?
