Your stories have changed my perspective on love forever; they are warm, like a blanket. I wish I could make myself small and live inside them. Through them, I’ve discovered things I didn’t know about myself. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.
this is such a kind message, thank you ;~; i discovered a lot of things about myself while writing, and im glad that my stories could be something that helped you do that too. above all i wish for my stories to bring softness to people in whatever form they need

the call of sweet things (december 10)
Draco’s happy with his quiet, lonely life in Woolbury, spending his days working at Pen Pals and keeping his already tidy flat spotless. But when Harry Potter shows up with pink hair and secrets about his magic, Draco’s carefully upheld balance falls apart. He doesn’t quite know how he ends up decorating Harry’s cottage, drinking unreasonable amounts of cocoa, and laughing more than he’s laughed in years, but it’s Christmas, after all– and he finally has a chance to set things right.

(see all works for my 25 Days of Harry and Draco on tumblr here and Ao3 here! ❤️)

hey friends, i'm coming back briefly on here for a message, if anyone is around. i'll be back soon.
there is a genocide happening in palestine. this genocide is being perpetrated by the illegitimate, colonial, fascist state of israel, and aided by every single major western power.
as someone born in the war in bosnia, i want to make one thing clear: every time that the world has let something like this happen over the past 70 odd years, it's allowed it to happen to muslims. bosnia, rohingyas, uygurs, palestinians, countless others. there is empathy in all places as long as they aren't muslim.
i urge you to examine your immediate reactions to a woman in a hijab or the words allahu akbar. i urge you to examine what narratives you've been exposed to even inadvertently.
i promise you muslims are just regular people. our families fight and rejoice and cry in the same ways as yours. we can grow up to be bad or good just like you can. if they kill all of us we won't get the chance to rewrite the story that's been written for us, against us, in our place. please don't let them keep killing us.
fandom is political. love is political. don't underestimate what being open and explicit can do.

Hi! Was curious why you left the fandom, if you don't mind sharing. Or if we can follow you somewhere else? Since you're not using this blog anymore?
short answer:
Tumblr media
long answer: my chronic illnesses have gotten so bad and i am so sad all the time and i barely have the energy to do necessary things let alone things For Fun. and the drarry fandom feels like it moves very fast so everything about being in it (and writing in general) felt like an obligation rather than something fun so. that’s pretty much it :< you can follow my main blog @celestialbee if you want to see pictures and art that i like but that’s really all ive got right now

Trying to capture the essence of one of my favorite genres of fic: spooky/haunted/ghost story. Turns out, it’s really hard for me to do subtle horror?? All I know how to do is throw in a big old skeleton lol
