Ozymandias, Chapter 10 Sneak Peek

Hey ya’ll! Been a while but I’ve gotten back to it, while I don’t know the exact release date of this, expect to be surprised within the next few weeks…for now, enjoy this snippet!

“—Can we all just have a nice dinner, please?” Regulus cut in, eyes nervously roving between Walburga and Sirius, “I don’t think anyone here fancies a row.”

Sirius scoffed, “Speak for yourself,” he said under his breath, but dropped the matter regardless. The absence of alcohol had deprived him of some much-needed entertainment in this godforsaken house, so he’d resorted to provoking Walburga at every opportunity as a sort of substitute.

Piss poor substitute, to be sure, but it was a substitute regardless.

They continued to eat, the three of them, in a tense silence. Only the scraping of silver against china could be heard as the plates were cleared and the dessert, tonight a lemon meringue, was laid in front of them.

Each Black picked at the dessert with a sort of dispassionate necessity, though it was evident none of them were in the mood for any sort of sweet. The atmosphere in the house over the past few days had grown only more suffocating, and it seemed that even Walburga, so often the chief organizer of these little gatherings, wanted to get it over with as quickly as possible.

“Bet you’re missing that sherry now, aren’t you, mum?”

The comment from Sirius elicited a gaze that could shatter a thousand windows from his mother, but Sirius, as usual, disregarded the danger in her gaze and pressed on, recklessly.

“Why don’t you bring some over from Neptune House, eh? I’m sure Arcturus hasn’t touched your stores there. Then we can all have a bit of fun—how about it Burgie, fancy getting tight?”

Walburga slammed her hand down onto the table, causing both her sons to jump back slightly. She turned to Sirius. When she spoke, her voice was colder than he’d ever heard it.

“Speak to me that way again. Go on. Do it.”

Do you think about finishing Ozymandias? It's a really good fic!!!

I do! Quite a lot actually, unfortunately life has been a lot busier this past year and a half so I’ve kinda let it fall to the wayside (also this is my first time on tumblr in like six months) but I am constantly thinking about those characters so… who knows? Maybe one day…though I wouldn’t count on an update for a little while.

Read your newest fic, broke my heart in half. Amaizing job! (More cygnus and andromeda pls : (? )

Thank you! And maybe…don’t have any ideas just yet but i really loved writing those two so maybe you’ll see something else from them in the future :)

Your drawings are amazing! Loved the recent one, of Sirius.

Thank you so much! As a token of my appreciation, please enjoy this rendering of Sirius reuniting with his little accomplice. I hope it conveys the warmth I felt upon receiving your message this morning.

The Chained Lady

https://archiveofourown.org/works/36607093

April, 1978. After a night of heavy drinking, Cygnus Black stumbles into a flower shop only to find that the person behind the counter is someone from his past.

Or, Cygnus Black accidentally bumps into his wayward daughter, and emotions happen.

A little treat to hold you all over until I post chapter ten of ozymandias (it’s coming I swear), enjoy!!

Ha! Yes I am very much alive lol, I’ve just unfortunately been insanely busy these past few months—plus I felt weird about constantly posting on here without updating ozy so I stepped back from tumblr for a while.

Happy Xmas (War is Over) Chapter 2

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28099719/chapters/89809468#workskin

Soooo I know it's been a while...but I wanted to give you all a special Christmas gift from me. This one goes out to @izzythehutt, as well as all the people who have supported me while writing Ozy. (I promise that I am getting back to work on it). Lifes been crazy this past few months, but I'm glad that things have settled down some so that I could get back to writing these incredible characters.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Sorry if my writings a bit rusty, it's been a while haha.

Will we find out why Walburga “Had the spirit of a deflated balloon” in the next chapter? Keep up the great work!

Yes, we will. Thank you!

Do you think Arcturus collects anything?

So I see in your story that cedrella is about Arcturus' age so does that mean she had Arthur in her late 40's early 50's and is he the oldest of her children or the youngest?

Arthur was a surprise baby lol, yes he is her youngest. She’s got three sons—Edmund, who has a cushy diplomatic ministry job in France, (born around 1930) and two daughters with an old-money French pureblood wife (he’s sort of the golden child she constantly compares her other sons to). Percival, a ministry grunt (born around ‘35) married to a pureblood, though from a poorer family, with two sons. And then there’s Arthur, who came in 1950—who she constantly nags at for his ‘distasteful’ work and ‘obnoxious’ wife.

He felt bloody awful—on top of the migraine setting in, the humiliation of Arcturus slapping him across the face like some back-alley sally wasn’t helping matters much either.

What does 'back alley-sally' mean? sorry English isn't my first language 😩

It's old-timey slang for hooker. Sirius is basically disdainfully comparing arcturus to a pimp lol.

Ozymandias, Chapter 9

https://archiveofourown.org/works/23655241/chapters/79001122

Arcturus gets deeper into his old diary and has a productive meeting, Dumbledore receives a long-awaited guest, and Sirius gets much more than he bargained for when he decides to day-drink.

Does Belvina have any descendants? I wanted to ask do you headcanon middle names for the members of the House of Black?

Belvina does have descendants, comprised of a secondary Burke branch (soon to be main branch as well due to Burke's granddaughter marrying the heir, her third cousin lol)—currently headed by Belgravius Burke, her eldest son, as well as Arcturus's cousin/lawyer. I don't really headcanon middle names unless it's necessary for me to do so in the story when making up some family history tbh.

Hey all, to answer the asks and messages I've received on my MIA status: God I can't wait until I can get the time to finish this chapter, but life keeps on throwing curveballs at me! My brother just got engaged, which of course meant a (basically) giant week-long party was thrown by my family, so I've had little time to do anything but...well, party lol. I'll be flying back home tomorrow, so on Friday (God willing) I should have the time to knock everything out so I can continue this story finally. Thank you guys for being patient, I'll keep y'all posted, and hopefully you'll all have a nice little surprise this weekend :)
