"Why doesn't Dick tell Jason he killed the Joker" because taking a life is one of Dick's greatest regrets and to Dick perpetuating the cycle of Joker's violence does not prove that he loved Jason or cared that he died, it just shows that Dick is capable of the same cruelty and disregard for human life as the evils he fights against when pushed. Moreover I don't think Jason would react positively to that info because
a. The Joker is still alive which would again prove to Jason that his death didn't have an impact and
b. Jason wanted Bruce specifically to kill the Joker to prove that he loved Jason/cared that he died, so if anything finding out that not only did someone, who was not Bruce, kill the Joker but that Bruce resuscitated him would probably just hurt Jason more.
TLDR it's not about Jason's catharsis that would not occur it's about Dick's regret at breaking one of the core tenants of his moral code

20 Questions for Writers
Thank you @hoko-onchi-writes and @lucifergraced for the tags!
Username: greattemptation on AO3
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 4
2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 5,606
3. What fandoms do you write for? HP
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Well, of the four, I'll put them in order most to least:
Baggage Claim Pilgrimage A Whole February Morning On the Big, Wide, Pirate Sea
5. Do you respond to comments? I do! I love comments, comments are life. I love leaving comments, receiving comments, and responding to comments. We don't get a whole lot of community action over on AO3, so we should take advantage of it. (Not that there isn't community, but that it's not really the platform for community.)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Um, probably Pilgrimage. Like, it's a good moment for the two of them, but the whole dynamic is still pretty grim, if you zoom out a bit. Could be On the Big, Wide, Pirate Sea, though! Is Harry a reliable narrator by the end?
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? That would have to be A Whole February Morning! Baggage Claim is sweet, but they still have work to do. A Whole February Morning is, as they say, tooth-rotting fluff.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Well, not yet. Let's keep up the good work, everyone! Don't be horseshit to people.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Lol, well, up for debate!! Technically Pilgrimage is about sex, and the whole fic is just sex happening, and there are sex tags, but I have had multiple academic conversations with friends about if it really counts as smut. Is it titillating? Is it meant to excite? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I haven't! I can't really imagine it, but I'm not ready to rule anything out.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Again, not yet. Let's keep up the good work.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope, but how cool would that be!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, but I started one time! It rapidly grew to be a WAY bigger idea that we really had time for, but it's an exciting back-burner type of thing I'd love to return to someday.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Drarry. <3
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I'm not ready to let anyone go at this point.
16. What are your writing strengths? I think I'm good at creating interesting rhythms and cadences in my writing. I have received a few comments that compare it to poetry, and I suspect this is the reason.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I don't do it enough! I want to both practice and just have more output, and not writing doesn't help either of those goals. In addition to that, I'm really trying to experiment writing longer things and being thoughtful of plot and bigger storytelling elements.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? This is the secret reason I have been slowly collecting fandom friends who speak other languages. So far I've got five other languages!
19. First fandom you wrote for? HP! And it's the only one so far.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Oh christ, ummmm. I guess I would say Pilgrimage. And the reason I would say Pilgrimage is that I had an idea, and I wrote exactly the idea I had in exactly the way I wanted to. All of the other ones were more like "let's see what comes out!" which has its place, but it was really exciting and made me feel proud to write Pilgrimage with a lot of intention.
Other people who can play: @alcohen @citrusses @myrtlefics @pl0tty @jtimu @apricitydays-lazynights @sleepstxtic @mallstars @starquestingfordrarry and anyone else!

Luckily, KUKULKAN was fast.
In a moment, weaving her way into an opening left by ASCLEPIUS' confusion, she plunged her fist deep into his chest- right where his Spirit Core would be resting.
Tumblr media
"…You… I'll… I'll exterminate…"
Tumblr media
"You're here to protect your people, I'm here to protect mine. These are the decisions that we have to make as gods, yes?"
Tumblr media
"...'Decisions we have to make as gods', huh...? Is that what you think?"
The two Servants stood in silence for a moment, as KUKULKAN dislodged her fist, the doctor collapsing on the ground in a pile of once-white robes, now turning crimson with blood. His body began to fade, turning to dust as she stood over him, her back turned and her expression inscrutable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I told you... I don't need thanks for doing my..."
You gained an alert.
[ ASCLEPIUS ORIGIN ACQUIRED. TRIGGER KEY PHI ACQUIRED. ]
Quietly, KUKULKAN walked back, holding out her hand to present the Trigger Key.
Tumblr media
"Seven to reach the first level of the core, and we've got our first. We're finally making some progress…"
"Our second, actually."
CONSTANTINE spoke up, before revealing the key that he received from QUETZALCOATL. He took a deep breath, leaning against one of the machines in the laboratory.
Two keys, meaning that there were five more Lair Servants, at least to gather enough to reach the Administrator.
Tumblr media
"We need to catch our breath while we still can. But if you really think that running should be our priority, then…"
Tumblr media
The two of them still looked exhausted- CONSTANTINE only having just woken up, and KUKULKAN having been on the battlefront for an extended period of time. That being said, they were still both on their feet and could get moving if needed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right. PRETENDER might still be in town.
"I'd be willing to explore. The effects of Asclepius falling shouldn't be immediate, so there might be a small window for some shopping before we need to get going."
You've reached a rest point!
Short rests recover 50% of whatever your Servant's maximum HP/MP is! So, if a Servant has a maximum of 10 HP, then they'd regain 5! Short rests have a lower risk of enemy ambushes and potential encounters, however recover less. Additionally, they have the option of letting other Servants explore. When a Servant is out exploring, the resting Servant(s) will be unavailable for contact, and your focus will be entirely placed on the exploring Servant.
Long rests fully recover your Servants, but leave them more open to encounters. However, a higher encounter rate isn't entirely bad! Depending on how you carve your path through the Solar Cell and who you befriend or antagonize, you'll run into either allies or enemies! Additionally, 'Long Rests' allow for your Servants to come up to you with potential questions and conversations, which may present boosts, items, or other benefits!
However, if you don't wish to rest, then you can also exit the area!

Debbie Twice-Born
Tumblr media
“Enraged” © deviantArt user TheBoyofCheese
[This character was an NPC from my Age of Worms game, one of Filge’s undead minions after @canwefixitnoitsfucked​ took Filge from NPC to PC. Debbie’s name and personality were references to “Manos” the Hands of Fate; in that movie, Debbie is the poorly-dubbed little girl who gets turned into one of the undead. Debbie was much more of a joke character than a useful one, although Filge did keep her in a papoose to use her pale aura until she got too fragile to survive the kinds of AoEs they were dealing with. And since I brought Filge back as a weird mutant, I figured Debbie should get the same treatment.
The music box I refer to in the gear is new, but I think it fits well with the character. I assembled a whole huge soundtrack for Age of Worms, and both Filge and reality warping stuff were associated with Philip Glass music. Specifically, Filge’s themes were all taken from the Dracula score. So Debbie’s music box plays the theme from Candyman. ]
Debbie Twice-Born CR 16 CE Undead This young woman has a slight build with powerful and lean muscles, shorter than average but no less strong for it. Her hair is tousled and blonde, and her eyes are black pits looking over a mouth full of sharp, crooked teeth. She carries a bloodstained axe with practiced ease.
Debbie Twice-Born is Filge’s “daughter”. She is a slaymate, created from the daughter of a woman who Filge loved. The woman scorned Filge for his cruelty, and she and her daughter both died from a plague that Filge could easily have saved them from. Through Filge’s adventures, Debbie was quiet and distracted, complaining about the cold of death, and frequently looking for a lost puppy that may or may not have ever existed. When Filge was fragged by his own party, Debbie escaped, and wandered around Alhaster during the short lived Age of Worms on Oerth. When Kyuss died, the waves of powerful negative energy that suffused the region caused her to “grow up”, as it were, and advance from a child of about eight years old to a young woman of eighteen or so. Of course, she was still dead, and still crazy. But now much more dangerous.
Debbie Twice-Born spent a few months as a recreational serial killer before entering the Wormwarrens and finding her equally transformed “father” there. Filge now uses Debbie as his primary agent in the wider world, committing assassinations for him, gathering useful supplies and spying on his former allies. As her powers have grown, Filge has given her a longer leash, and she has made multiple excursions to alternate realities through the depths of the Shadow Plane.
Debbie’s latest excursions have brought her to Castle Xyntillian, where she is a guest of honor and mutually exploited. Debbie has considered merely butchering Aristide Malevol and stealing his role as head of the family, but knows that without finding and destroying his phylactery, that that would be a fool’s errand. Likewise, Aristide is happy to have a powerful pet assassin on hand who is ultimately disposable to him, but also wants to pick her brain about Filge’s exploits, powers and resources. Debbie is somewhat scatterbrained and never paid much attention to the technical details of necromancy, leaving such conversations a source of frustration for the Patriarch Lich. As far as actual friends within the family, Debbie Twice-Born gets along well with Hubert Malevol the Hunter, whose enormous kennels of mundane, monstrous and undead hounds give her plenty of doggies to play with.
Debbie Twice-Born       CR 16 XP 76,800 Female variant giant slaymate slayer 10 (stygian slayer), shadowdancer 1 Init +4; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Perception +13 Aura pale (10 ft.)

Disease (Su) Pale wasting—injury; save Fort DC 20; onset 1 day; damage 1d4 Str and 1d4 Con; cure 2 saves. The save DC is Charisma based. Exceptional Resources (Ex) Debbie has the treasure of a 15th level PC, and has used some of that money to obtain and use a tome of influence +4. These advantages give her a +1 increase to her CR. Grown Up (Ex) As an undead child magically matured to adulthood, Debbie has a slightly different set of abilities than normal for the giant simple template. Instead of gaining a +4 bonus to Constitution, she gains a +4 bonus to Charisma, and a +10 foot increase to her land speed. Pale Aura (Su) A slaymate exudes an aura that empowers necromantic magic. Any necromancy spell cast within a slaymate’s pale aura gains a +1 bonus to the DC (if any) and is cast at +1 caster level. A spellcaster within the slaymate’s aura can choose to use any metamagic feat he knows on a necromancy spell he casts without increasing the casting time or spell level. Doing so, however, deals damage to both the slaymate and the caster equal to 5 x the level the spell would ordinarily be adjusted to. There is no saving throw to resist this damage. Shadowy Mist Form (Sp): At 10th level, a stygian slayer can transform into an inky black cloud of mist. This functions as gaseous form, except it also obscures vision as fog cloud. The slayer can use this ability for a number of minutes per day equal to his level. These minutes need not be consecutive, but must be used in 1-minute increments. This ability replaces the advanced slayer talent gained at 10th level. Spell Use (Ex) At 7th level, a stygian slayer is able to use spell completion and spell trigger items as if they were an arcane caster with these spells on his spell list: darkness, forced quietUM, modify memory, nondetection, obscuring mist, phantom steed, shadow walk , and wizard spells of the illusion school of spell level 0 through 4th. The slayer’s uses their class level as their caster level for this ability. This ability replaces stalker.

RRR Fics Masterpost
If AO3 would be easier, you can find my works here.

The Path From You Already Gone Fade When The Heart Caves In The Holiday
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
yes, i love reading peoples' reactions and i like to think they like reading my reaction to their reaction. to me fanfic and fandom is a community. and what is community but an invitation for conversation?
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Come Back To Me felt like it came to a natural resolution even though it leaves everything really open ended. however, Memories Feel Like Weapons will unseat this when i get around to finishing it.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
i have a lot of wips that are going to have real happy endings but since they aren't written yet i feel like that's cheating .... so i'll go with Enough of Both since it's a happy ending if you know what i mean
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not hate, just rudeness
9. Do you write smut. If so what kind?
hell yeah. all kinds. whatever feels right for the story or the characters. however i think most of my smut scenes are overwhelmingly vanilla and packed full of feelings.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
no, every time i try to come up with one they're too absurd for me to actually go through with
11.Have you ever had a fic stolen?
yes :(
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
no, but would be honored
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
no, and i won't

not a fair question because i have so many ships and so many fandoms and have been betrayed by so many franchises BUT for hp it is a three way tie between hinny, dramione, & panville
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
the holiday :(
16. What are your writing strengths?
eff don't make me say nice things about myself i think i do a decent job at giving the characters a unique voice and giving them character moments within their own internal narration. also what sticks out to readers and what i get good feedback on are my dialogue and fight scenes
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
i get too in my head when a scene doesn't immediately work. i will quit on it instead of writing it out so i can figure out what is wrong and rework it. i think i'm getting better at allowing for a bad first draft but it's such a mess when i first get started that i get so discouraged when things don't work or click right away.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
i would want to work with a native speaker to help me correctly get tense, phrases, slang, speech patterns, etc. google translate has embarrassed me too many times.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
lord of the rings... or was it doctor who.... i can't remember
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
fuck! um ... honest to god i think it's Five Times Ron Interrupted (And One Time He Didn't) i can't believe how much i enjoyed writing hbp harry/ginny while also laying the ground work for The Path From You. i am such a sucker for a prequel. yes pls give as many "it was always going to end this way" foreshadowing as i can get

Happy birthday Framme and Clanne
"The divine dragon looked at me" This line haunting me even in my dream
Our twins the 33rd steward of divine dragon. For their birthday I want to share my experience when I used them.
I used Framme in my first playthrough (hard mode) and Clanne in my 2nd playthrough (maddening). I couldn't lie that I actually dislike Framme and Clanne before engage released. The high pitch voices and the unhinged dialogue line made me uncomfortable and felt embarrassing to hear their dialogues. Part of me want to kill them at my first playthrough. However, I tried to give them a chance. I couldn't handle the amount of embarrassment when used both of them so I pick one of the twins. At least I could handle the amount of uncomfortable fangirling if only one character.
Design wise Framme and Clanne are quite good. I actually like it that they are teens who look like teen so part of me can tolerate their behaviour when fangirling a little bit. I like the colour choices refered to christmas cav. Oh they also remind me with the colour of mario and luigi.
As unit Framme probably had more upper hand since Qi was something new compare to Clanne who was a mage. We already knew what mages do but not with Qi class. At the beginning, through Framme the game taught player that Qi class could heal, break bow and tome, and chain guard. Chain guard caught my attention and it was really cool, it taught us how to create human wall with your units. For example when enemy attack Alear and Framme already activated chain guard before, the first hit of enemy would be deflected and the damage was transfered to Framme. Very interesting mechanic that sadly not aged very well. Chain guarding only allowed when Framme in full health. After she took the damage because of chain guard, she couldn't do chain guard again because her hp was not full. The problem was frame the main healer in the first part and healing other units was more important than chain guarding. Then she just became our staff bot until we recruit jean and yunaka-micaiah. In part 2 I delayed her reclass because other new units need master seal more than healer. I reclassed her as martial master. Framme rarely engaged in combat because fist in this game used (str+mag)/2 so she never dealt meaningful damage. She also was too busy to chain guarding or healing or playing with staved. Mostly healing and using staves. In the end she never felt like so important for me. I just kept using her because it was my first playthrough. I did feel annoyed when i heard her selection dialogue.
Clanne I used him in my second playthrough. Engage is kinda whack with classes and unit. He was a mage but his personal mag growth only 10%. Because my first maddening was fixed growth it affect Clanne performance later. As our first mage clanne actually useful in part 1. He can chip or dealt a lot of damage for armour which i appreciated. In part 2 I reclassed him as mage knight and gave him forged levin sword. Levin sword helped him to keep him relevant. Oh he was quite fast so he could at least double enemies. However due to his low magic stat in the end he couldn't kill general or great knight due to their bulkiness. It was not his fault even pandreo sometimes couldn't finished those enemies however at least pandreo almost kill it while clanne still leaving like half of the hp. In the end as mage knight he just okay but other mages definitely outclassed him.
At the end of the day I still don't feel attachment to Framme and Clanne despite playing this game 5 times and part 1 forced me to use them for like the first 6-7 chapters. Their support conversation actually okay as long as it was not about Alear. I like framme x diamant support and clanne x jean support. I didn't dislike them much compare to pre-release engage but I don't think I love them. Just okay.
Framme
Character: 6.0/10
Design : 8.0/10
Unit performance : 6.5/10 (staves in general just powerful but she was not the only staff user)
Clanne
Character: 6.0/10
Design: 8.2/10
Unit performance: 6.0/10 (still okay until the end of playthrough as MK but i prefer not to use him again)

Tedromeda fanfics
As time goes by I start to think this is the relationship I am more curious about in the whole HP universe. Ted Tonks is the Hufflepuff whose love and patience won Andromeda’s heart. Andromeda is the Black that got away and, despite the hardships, had a full and happy life. Teddy is her shining star, her beacon, in the end. 
Tedromeda is one of the best love stories in canon. And yes, for fancast I really like Keira Knightley and James McAvoy for Andy x Ted. 
Below I leave a (long) list of Tedromeda fanfics, some I’ve read, others are still pending. Leave your suggestions!
Tumblr media
the lost generation (Chapters 5, 12 and 17) by Jennbob | Multichapters - Ongoing | Wolfstar and Jily | I sincerily worship the way Andromeda is portrayed in these chapters, her relation with Cissy, Sirius and Ted Tonks is, in my opinion, brilliantly explored. In fact, this fanfic does an amazing job in portraying the Black family, Regulus and Alphard Black are two other characters I am particularly fond of in this fanfiction. 
Summer of 72’ by @padfoot-prongs-and-polaroids | Multichapters (9 so far) | Ongoing | Tedromeda | This is the story of the summer Andromeda Black and Ted Tonks fell in love. The thing I like the most in this love story is how support characters are developed and their stories intertwined with the two main characters - Andy and Ted. It’s a comforting love story, I am enjoying a lot reading it.
all is quiet in the clearing by slyther_ing | Oneshot | Tedromeda | His one regret, at the end of it all, is that he cannot turn back time and bring them both to the nights when Dora had settled into the deep slumber of a baby and they had watched her ever changing hair. This is a sad-slash-angsty oneshot, but very beautiful and profound about the last moments of Ted Tonks. 
waiting in the dark by amberwoods @merflk | Oneshot | Tedromeda | Andromeda's parents are part of a political movement trying to get Lord Marvolo into power by any means necessary. Sometimes, they take prisoners. It's Andromeda's job to take care of them.However, something is different about the latest unexpected guest. And he might just change Andromeda's entire life. A powerful and beautifully written piece of fanfiction. 
Night and Day by C.Queen | Multichapter (19) Complete | Tedromeda | Andromeda Black is anything but thrilled when she's forced to tutor Ted Tonks, a Muggleborn. The goofy, clumsy Hufflepuff isn't like anyone she's ever met, and he just might be teaching her a thing or two along the way.
Lessons by womeninthesequel @women-inthe-sequel | Oneshot | Tedromeda | No matter where she goes or what she does, Andromeda can't forget her childhood lessons. A powerful oneshot about Adromeda’s decision to leave her family.
Can’t Take My Eyes Off You by @siriusuntiltheveryend | Oneshot | Tedromeda | A short and cute drabble with Ted flirting Andromeda.
They Can’t Destroy Us by @xomarauders​ | Oneshot | Tedromeda | A safety and conforting oneshot about how Ted saves Andromeda, or in other words, how love saves Andromeda. I really like this one too.
Follow your heart by CharisaAce | Oneshot | Tedromeda | The five times Andromeda Black turned down Ted Tonks, and the one time she didn’t.
tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us by thewhitebirds | Oneshot | Tedromeda | Three conversations shape Andromeda Black's love story (one with a sister, one with an uncle, and one with a daughter).
summer in the city by thewhitebirds | Oneshot | Tedromeda | The fateful days before, during, and after Andromeda Black's infamous elopement in summer 1972.
Run Away with me by diva.gonzo | Multichapter (9) Complete | Tedromeda |  Andromeda Black receives a letter from home - and throws her life into a bubbling cauldron of personal ambition versus family duty. And then there is the complication of Ted Tonks in her life. What shall the Slytherin Head Girl do?
Blackbird by artemis15sc |  Multichapter (60) Complete | Tedromeda |  Andromeda knows who she is, but when she's forced into an arranged marriage, she dreams of being something else. Enter Ted Tonks, the spontaneous muggleborn with a quirky grin and a habit of showing up at the worst of times. He's everything she never wanted, but she's still drawn to him. Though with the darkness rising around them, now may not be the best time to learn to fly.
BlackBird Singing by artemis15sc | Multichapter (30) Complete | Tedromeda | Ted and Andromeda thought after everything they sacrificed to be together, the worst was behind them. They couldn't be more wrong. As Hogwart's new out and proud mixed-blood couple, everyone either loves them, hates, or wants something from them. The honeymoon is over. Time to face reality.
Boom Boom by Lilae Kane | Multichapter (5) Incomplete | Tedromeda |  Andromeda Black is always a little too curious about things, Ted Tonks gets a little too sad sometimes, and a chance explosion in a potions classroom will change everything.
How the Badger Courts the Snake by CokeBottleK |  Multichapter (7) Complete | Tedromeda |  She was a Slytherin, he was a Hufflepuff. She was a Black, he was a Muggle-born. They shouldn't have been together at all. But they just couldn't help themselves. Unfortunately, not all chapters are accessible, no idea why. 
Sweat the Battle by ikorous | Multichapter (Ongoing) | Tedromeda | Andromeda was a Black and the whole of the wizarding world knew what that meant- strict social structures, timeless traditions, and a historical linage she was supposed to continue. But Ted Tonks was not from the wizarding world and his interjection into her life made Andromeda question everything she had ever been told. (added to the list 25th April 2021)
the ruler of men by chill_mee | Multichapter (43) Incomplete | Tedromeda | Contrary to popular belief, Andromeda Black was not a well-behaved Black that changed when she fell in love. She always felt asphyxiated by her toxic family. This is her story: growing up, rebelling against her family, running away with a muggleborn, and watching her loved ones die. (added to the list 25th April 2021)
The Princess and the Hufflepuff by smartvpants | Multichapter (25) Complete | Tedromeda | Andromeda Black is an obedient daughter. As the middle child of well-connected purists, she's fully compliant with their plan: graduate with high-level NEWTs, marry Rabastan Lestrange, and settle into a life producing pure-blooded heirs. But there's no room in her parents' plan for her own Slytherin ambitions, and it's not the sense of purpose Andromeda would have chosen.Ted Tonks is a muggleborn. He's gotten too used to lying to his muggle friends about where he goes every school year. The handsome and charismatic Hufflepuff has a lot of friends, but he feels restless. Then Andromeda Black appears in the dungeon corridor where he's chosen to finish off his summer stash, and a fire is lit inside him.It's a bad idea: a muggleborn and the daughter of one of the "Sacred Twenty-Eight"-- especially as Voldemort and his followers become increasingly brazen in their attacks on muggles. But Andromeda and Ted can't keep their hands off of each other, and they're willing to risk it all for a tiny slice of happiness in an ever-darkening world. (added to the list 25th April 2021)
Andromeda Black and the Fight for Freedom by RoLouG | Multichapter (22) Complete | Tedromeda | Andromeda Black has never quite fit in with her sisters. As she starts her fifth year at Hogwarts, she meets Ted Tonks, and she begins to grow apart from her controlling family. But the new life she forms for herself will be anything but easy. (added to the list 25th April 2021)
Let me know if you have any other suggestions to add to this list.

Notice
Based off of the song “Notice” by Thomas Rhett
Fred Weasley x Reader
~4,500
Warnings: None – LOTS of Fluff
A/N: This is my first time posting a fic on here and I’m just now deciding to take a stab at sharing them! I write a lot for the HP fandom and then also for the Marvel Fandom and Tom Holland, so be on the look out for fics later. Please like, comment, or reblog if you enjoy this fic so I can decide whether I want to post more of my work! Happy Reading <3

Fred’s head had been in the clouds recently. He and George had been focusing so much on their booming business that he hadn’t focused on much else. That being said, his girlfriend was feeling a little left out.
“Fred, can’t we just hang out today? No business stuff?” Y/N asked with big, pleading eyes.
“Y/N/N, this is really important. Everyone is wanting our products and I can’t just leave George to send them out by himself. I’ve got to go!”
“Fred, can I talk to you for five minutes without your mind on business? Can you give me that time?” Y/N conceded.
“I can do 5 minutes,” Fred smirked. He reached out to pull her in, assuming they would spend that 5 minutes snogging. Y/N put a quick stop to it.
“No, Fred. I want to talk to you.”
 “Oh, okay. I’m listening.”
“Are you though? You’re spaced out in every conversation we have. I tell you this almost every year. But, you don’t seem to hear all the words I say, let alone spend time with me and it makes me miss you even when I’m sitting next to you. You’ve been acting so easily distracted. I just wish you could focus. I love you, Fred and I’ll always support you, but it’s been a hard year already without you nowhere around.”
Fred watched her eyes, he wished he could say all the ways he did see her and notice her, but he didn’t know how. He knew having Umbridge around was not easy for anyone, but he hadn’t realized how tough it must’ve been on Y/N while he was trying to lift everyone else’s spirits with that toad around.
“That’s all I have to say. Go help George now.”
Y/N stood up and left Fred’s room. She probably was going to find her friends, Angelina and Alicia. It wasn’t until she shut the door that Fred spoke. “No, wait, don’t go!” She didn’t hear him though.
Fred dropped face down onto his bed. He must’ve been like that for too long because George burst into the room looking for him.
“Oi! Freddie! You were supposed to meet me at the Honeydukes passageway 15 minutes ago! I couldn’t sneak all that contraband in by myself!”
Fred just groaned in response.
“What’s up with you, mate?” George asked.
“Y/N was in here.”
“Don’t you, oh, I don’t know, like her? So her being in here is a good thing?”
“It is. I love her, you know that Georgie.”
“I do know that. I just like to think I’m the only one you love,” George snickered.
“Well, she feels as though I haven’t been paying attention to her. Which now that I think about it, I haven’t. But when I’m with her, there are just all these amazing little things about her.” Fred threw his hands over his face.
“There are little things about Y/N other than just her being Y/N?” George asked in a stupid sarcastic manner.
“Of course there are you, git!” Fred threw a pillow at George.
“Mhmmm, I’m not sure.” George rubbed his chin. “She’s been one of our best friends since childhood. I can’t look at her without thinking about her running around the Burrow with a gnome biting her finger.”
 George’s memory made Fred laugh at the image now in his head.
“You’re blind then. Have you ever noticed how she brushes her hair out of her E/C eyes or the way she blushes when she drinks red wine. Then there’s the way that she smiles whenever she tries to bend the truth. That’s why we never let her make up the lies. She definitely doesn’t think I notice all of those muggle songs she sings underneath her breath and how she tears up whenever we all hide in the Astronomy Tower and watch the sunset. Of course there’s that super cute way at parties when she dances just like she’s the only one in the room. She doesn’t think I see all those beautiful things, but I do.”
“Why don’t you tell her that? Doesn’t seem that hard. It’s not like it’s when you were first trying to ask her out. You’ve already been dating for 3 years,” George pointed out.
“But I already blew her off today and told her I had to help you.”
“You idiot, go find her. I’ll get Lee to help me. He doesn’t have a girlfriend and obviously isn’t doing anything.”
“You sure? I told you I’d help you today,” Fred reminded him.
“Dude. I had to come find you after you left me hanging for 15 minutes. Go get your girl.”
 Fred didn’t need anything else. He bolted from the room and out to find his girlfriend. Unfortunately, it was a nice spring day, so students were all over the castle, inside and outside. Fred checked the courtyard, the library, the Great Hall, near Hagrid’s hut, everywhere. Where the heck were they? Where was she?
 “Angelina! That’s horrible!”
 Fred’s head ripped around towards the sound of Y/N’s voice. Her laugh was so angelic as she giggled at whatever Angelina was doing. That’s when he saw her. Sitting beneath a tree near Black Lake with her two best friends. They had their books, but obviously weren’t studying. She was smart enough though, Fred thought, she didn’t really need to study.
“Fred?” Y/N questioned when she saw him.
He must’ve been standing and staring for a good minute before she noticed him and he started to move towards her.
“I thought you were busy with George today?” Y/N asked as Fred sat next to her.
“He decided he could handle it by himself. What’s going on here?”
As Angelina and Alicia filled Fred in on what they had been talking about, Fred pulled Y/N in next to him. He sat with the conversation and let the other two go on a tangent before whispering into Y/N’s ear.
“You know, babe. I don’t know why I forgot to mention to you, but at that party last night you were looking drop-dead.”
He saw a small flush of pink on her cheeks as she tried to seem still interested in the conversation.
Fred continued, “If I’m being honest, it wasn’t even a contest. You were the center of attention.”
“Don’t you think so too Y/N?” Alicia asked suddenly.
“What? Oh– oh yeah!” She had no idea what she was agreeing too.
“But you know, I’m such a jokester that if I had to say every time you looked amazing, you’d think I was joking.”
Alicia and Angelina both broke out laughing, so Y/N quickly joined in with a flush still across her cheeks at Fred’s words. Fred chuckled too, but not with Angelina and Alicia. He chuckled because Y/N was so cute.
The conversation picked up again and so did Fred’s whispers. “I brag about you when I’m not around you and you don’t even know it. Every time you catch  me staring at you, I was probably just gushing about you, love. Honest.”
Y/N had felt herself getting more antsy the entire time. What could she even say back to this right now!
Angelina stopped Alicia in the middle of her sentence. She then looked over at the cozy Fred and Y/N.
“You seem quite uninterested in our conversation.”
 “I’m sorry, Ang. I can pay attention.”
Angelina and Alicia looked at Y/N with knowing eyes. They knew how distracted Fred had been and how hurt Y/N had been by it.
“No, you two go spend some time together,” Alicia chuckled. “Ang and I are just enough company with each other. Go,” she pushed.
“Why thank you ladies!” Fred smirked as he stood up and offered his hand to Y/N so that she could stand up. Fred took her hand and pulled her away to a different end of Black Lake.
“Okay, sit here. I’m going to be right back!” Fred told her.
“What? You’re leaving me here? We just got away!” Y/N was surprised but still laughing. She always was when it came to Fred.
“Just trust me, okay?” Fred asked gently.
“Okay…But you better come back!”
“I will, love. I couldn’t just leave your beautiful self here!” He leaned down to kiss her lips before walking away.
Fred rushed up to the castle and in through the doors of the Great Hall. He was on a mission for something spontaneous.
He made his way to the entrance of the kitchens and tickled the pear that opened the portrait.
“Hello Hogwarts elves! It’s your favorite Weasley!”
All of the little house elves rushed forward.
“Hello! Master Weasley! How can we help you! Can we get some food for you? What would you like?” The questions were being flown at him and the food was already being prepared.
“I could use some food, but not the usual for Georgie and I! I need a picnic basket and a romantic meal. I’m doing something romantic for my girlfriend and need the best!”
The elves all gave a little squeal of excitement and starting chattering. Dobby walked up to Fred and started speaking in his high voice.
“Mister Fred is a very sweet boyfriend for Miss Y/N. She’s a very nice girl Dobby thinks.”
“Thank you Dobby! She’s the best girl!” the red head grinned, throwing a wink at the elf.
“Here you go, Mister Weasley!” another elf piped up, handing a basket to Fred.
“Thank you very much, tiny elves! As always, it is much appreciated!” Fred waved as he rushed back to the portrait.
Emerging back onto the grounds, Fred looked to the spot where he left Y/N. She sat there, obviously in a day dream. She was sprawled out on the grass, looking at the sky and playing with a flower in her hand.
But, Fred’s footsteps must’ve made some noise because she sat up on her elbows as he made his way over to her.
“I was starting to think you’d left me out here to go help George or something,” she laughed.
He knew she was joking, but her words did feel like a stab for a moment. He forgot that she was feeling unattended to at the moment.
“I could never just leave you hanging like that. And I come bearing gifts!” He was pushing through. He was making this all up to her.
“Whatcha got there stud?” she giggled.
“I brought food. In a picnic basket!” 
“All of this for me?” she threw up her hands in the air as Fred sat down next to her and pulled him close to peck his lips. “How sweet of you!”
“What can I say, the house elves really out did themselves this time! It’s a surprise opening!”
“They really love you down there,” Y/N chuckled as she opened the basket to pull out plates and forks. “They put everything in here!”
“You should have seen them when I told them it was for you. They got all excited and went right to work,” Fred laughed loudly as he pulled out and started to serve food. “I even watched one of my favorite elves put some red wine in there.”
The house elves really out did themselves this time. They put in a tart for dessert. The main meal was a pot pie with broccoli, rolls, and fruit. 
“I’m so full that I could burst!” Y/N stretched out and laid on the grass. “Ohhh! Freddie! Look at the stars! They’re so beautiful!”
Fred smiled widely as he looked over at her before laying down beside her.
“I think I can find something more beautiful,” Fred egged.
Y/N turned to him, a grin large on her face. Her E/C eyes sparkled in the moonlight and Fred was so glad that George convinced him to play hooky today.
“You’re more beautiful than any stars,” Fred said softly.
“Oh shush. There are millions of stars up there and they’ve been burning for years!” Y/N explained.
“I don’t think I will ever understand why you know so much muggle science.”
“It’s interesting! That’s why!” Y/N playfully hit him as she turned on her side.
 “Do you want any more wine, love?” Fred sat up, getting the bottle.
“Yes please! That house elf threw in my favorite,” Y/N smiled, handing him her glass. She really couldn’t stop smiling.
Fred poured a proper amount into the glass. Finally, he was doing what his mother had been teaching him all these years. 
“Y/N/N?” 
“Yes, Freddie?” Y/N giggled, taking a sip. He watched as her cheeks turned slightly pinker while she sipped.
“I’m sorry that I’ve not given you the proper attention for the last few months.”
“It’s okay. I overreacted. You are doing so well and I am so proud of you! You know that right, so proud. I still love all of this though,” she giggled as she motioned over to the leftovers of the picnic.
“You’re blushing,” Fred said softly. He didn’t mean to change the subject. He just couldn’t stop thinking about all those little things. 
“Merlin! It’s this wine. It always does this to me!”
“Each time your H/C hair gets in your E/C eyes, you push it away in this very specific way. You blush every time you drink red wine, you blush. It doesn’t happen with white wine, just red wine. I’ve realized after all these years that you always smile when you try to bend the truth, so you never are the one who can cover for us during a prank. It doesn’t even matter if you were the mastermind. I’ve also noticed all the songs you sing underneath your breath and the fact that you still tear up at the sunset over Black Lake.”
“Freddie? Why are you saying all these things?” 
“Wait, wait. My favorite is definitely how you always dance like you’re the only one in the room. We could have been studying, but if your favorite song comes on, you’re always up dancing. It doesn’t matter who else is there. It’s just you in your own little world. It’s perfect.”
Fred watched as Y/N’s eyes began to water, but she was still smiling and doing that lip biting thing that drove him crazy.
“I see all those things and I keep on falling for you every night, over and over again. It’s all my fault that I don’t remind you every day of your life. You’re perfect to me.”
“I love you, Fred.”
“I love you so, so much, Y/N. So much.” Fred felt the need to whisper so that his words were only for her.
 Fred sat there, feeling content, Y/N’s hand in his own.
“I’m really happy right now,” Y/N said, breaking the silence.
“Let’s do something crazy,” Fred said suddenly. 
“Crazy?”
“Out of this world. No one would see it coming, but it’s just right.”
“What are you talking about Fred? You’re talking nonsense,” Y/N laughed, sitting up to look at the boy straight on.
“We’re almost done at Hogwarts.”
“Yes? Good observation there!”
“We should get married,” Fred said bluntly.
“Married?! Fred, we’re so young. We haven’t even graduated yet!” Y/N blurted.
“We will be soon. George and I’s business is doing well. We have enough money to start a shop, I can get you a ring! We’ll do everything right!”
“That’s crazy!” Y/N couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking.
“That’s the point! It’s spontaneous. It’s what our whole relationship has been! It’s perfect!” Fred argued.
They weren’t fighting, but they weren’t having a calm conversation. Fred’s heart was pounding and Y/N’s head was spinning.
“Think about it. I could get you a ring. We can tell everyone over Easter Break. You’re still coming to my house for Easter Break right?”
“Fred. Slow down. Do you hear yourself? What would our parents say?”
“My mother would expect something like this of me. Plus, she loves you. Always says you are the best thing that could happen to me,” Fred shrugged. “I think it’s a great idea.”
“Of course you do, you’re the crazy one that is suggesting this. Do I have to remind you? We are seventeen?”
“I do know that. Look at you being the smart one. We are seventeen, which means we’re of age and old enough to apparate, so in my opinion, that means we’re old enough to get married! We’re adults,” Fred didn’t even stop to think.
As crazy as this was, Fred knew that it was what he wanted. It’s what he’s wanted for a long time even if he didn’t know it until he said it.
 “Obviously if you don’t want to do it, but I will still be buying a ring. I do have the money for it.”
 Fred watched Y/N’s thinking face form. Her brow creased, her lips were puckered, and her nose was scrunched. It was precious. It only appeared when she was making important decisions. Her studying face was different.
“Okay,” Y/N said finally.
“What?’ Fred wasn’t sure if he heard his ears correctly.
“I said okay. Let’s do it. Let’s be crazy. We already are pretty crazy, but let’s top every other bit of crazy.”
“Really?” Fred still wasn’t sure. She didn’t normally go along with his wilder ideas.
“Do you want me to change my mind?” Y/N chuckled.
“No! Not at all. We’re getting married. We’re getting…married.” Fred was repeating.
 “You still have to ask me when you get a ring though.”
“Of course I will! I would propose to you a million times.” Fred jumped up to one knee.
“You don’t need to propose now, love. Let’s wait until you have that ring you keep talking about,” she winked.
“I love you,” Fred breathed out.
“I love you too, Freddie. We’re going to be crazy together!” Y/N squealed.
Fred couldn’t stop smiling. He picked Y/N up off the grass and brought her into his arms.
“You’re a goon, you know that?” Y/N whispered.
“I’m your goon though!” He laughed as he placed his lips on her. It was pure bliss.
“We’re getting married,” Y/N spoke when she pulled away. 
“We’re getting married.” Fred agreed.
“One condition. Don’t tell anyone until we get truly engaged. Not even George. Can you do that?”
“It’s our secret!” Fred crossed his heart to show his promise.
_______________________________________________________________________
 Three months had passed and Fred was packing his bags for the Burrow. All the Weasleys were going to be there in addition to Harry and Hermione, and of course, Y/N.
 He had ordered Y/N’s ring through owl service a month earlier. He was all secret about getting the catalogue and ordering it. He wanted it to be a surprise. She only wore it sometimes because they hadn’t told too many people. They wanted the families to know first.
George did know however. Fred spilled it nearly 3 days after the couple had decided. When Fred broke the news to Y/N that George knew, George had already made enough hints that Y/N knew that George knew. She figured he would be the first to find out.
“Hey love, you almost ready?” Y/N bounded into the boys’ room without knocking. It had become a habit of hers. She was not afraid of seeing anything.
“I am. Just a few more things for the week.”
“Go get them and I’ll finish with your bag!” Y/N moved over to the bed and picked up Fred’s clothes to place in the bag.
“That’s a shiny rock you got there,” Fred smirked when he caught a look at her finger.
 “Isn’t it pretty?” Y/N beamed. She was so excited about this even though she was so unsure when he had first asked.
“I think your fiancé has pretty good taste if I do say so myself…”
Y/N rolled her eyes at the comment before responding with a sarcastic one of her own. “I think so, but I’m not sure if he picked it out or if his brother did,” she winked.
Fred was soon packed and the group piled as many people as possible into a train car. Y/N put her ring away again, but it was nearby for their arrival. 
When the whole crew arrived at the Burrow, everyone rushed inside. Mrs. Weasley was so excited to have everyone home. She hated having the empty house. Even Charlie and Bill made their way there. Percy didn’t, but that was something the family didn’t talk about.
Y/N and Fred stood outside the door. Fred took Y/N’s hand into his own and squeezed it lightly. “Are you ready for this, love?” 
“I’m more excited to be your wife eventually, but telling the family is a close second.” Y/N took her hand back from Fred’s for just a moment to pull the engagement ring out of her pocket and slip it onto her finger. Fred took her left hand back the moment she was done.
“What is taking you two so long?” Ron called, coming up to the door. “Mum refuses to serve dinner until everyone is at the table and I’m starving!”
“Ready?” Fred asked.
“As I’ll ever be!” Y/N beamed.
The moment they walked in the door, Mrs. Weasley was on the couple.
“Ohhh! Y/N! I’m so happy you’re here! You do not visit us enough!” Mrs. Weasley wrapped the girl in a big hug.
 “It’s not like I’m your son and am coming home for the first time in months too.” Fred rolled his eyes.
“Of course I’m happy to see you too, Fred, but you keep this girl too far from us. We must see her more often.”
“Mum, you have other guests too, not just Y/N.”
“Oh, pish posh. Now, come in your two! Dinner is ready.”
Fred pulled out the chair for Y/N so she could sit next to him. He was truly surprised that no one had noticed the ring yet.
“Now, everyone fill me in on the last few months,” Mr. Weasley stated as everyone began putting food on their plates.
“School is boring. Umbridge is a toad. Nothing totally new.” Ron droned as Harry nodded in agreement.
“Oi, I think Fred and Y/N should go next,” George piped up when Ginny opened her mouth to speak. She immediately shut it.
“What has been new with the two of you?” Mrs. Weasley asked, extremely interested. She was finally sitting down with the rest of them.
“Well, we sort of have an announcement,” Y/N started, glaring at George for bringing it up already. “Fred? Do you want to finish?” Y/N pleaded. She had no idea what she wanted to say and Fred could tell. He didn’t quite know what he was going to say, but he would figure it out.
“We do. Thank you Georgie for that grand introduction. If everyone would just let me finish and not interrupt, this will go smoothly.”
Fred looked around to make sure that everyone nodded in agreement. 
“A few months ago, we decided to do something crazy. It was my idea, the craziest ones usually are, but I decided to marry Y/N and she concurred!”
Y/N bashfully smiled as she lifted her left hand to show off the ring. There were quiet gasps mixed in with the overwhelming silence. Y/N broke the silence effectively.
“We know we’re young. At least I know we’re young,” she giggled, “but, we don’t have to get married now or anytime soon–”
“Hopefully sooner than later,” Fred interrupted. 
“Frrred,” Y/N emphasized, “just thought this was a good idea and I’m apparently crazy enough to happily go along with it!”
“It’s a great idea!” Fred broke in. “What does everyone think?” he asked.
“You mean that you two are engaged?” Ron’s mouth was hung open.
 “You’ve been engaged for over a month?” Charlie followed.
 “How didn’t we know?!” Ginny squealed. At least she was smiling.
“You’re still in school though. Where will you live?” Hermione piped up. She seemed concerned.
“You mean…” Mrs. Weasley began. She was silent for a moment before she continued. Fred felt Y/N grab his hand quickly. She squeezed so hard that he knew she was nervous.
“Mum? Could you finish that thought?” Fred asked.
“Oh, sorry! You mean that Y/N is going to be my daughter? Oh! This is so fantastic!” she yelled. The blur that was Molly Weasley was out of her seat and descending on the couple quicker than anyone else could move.
“It’s good to see who Mum’s favorite child is, even though she didn’t even give birth to Y/N,” George mumbled. Everyone laughed and followed Molly in congratulating the couple.
Easter Break was going to be a great one. Fred could now tell the world he was engaged to the most perfect girl in the world. He got excited when Arthur pulled out the red wine. He’d just to see that cute way that Y/N blushed when she drank it. He noticed it. And now that they were going to get married, he would get to notice even more little things about her.
Looking around at his family and the girl he loved, this moment would be ingrained in his mind forever. It was perfect. He glanced over at her hugging each person in the room and caught her eye. When she smiled, her E/C eyes twinkled. Fred melted inside. That was one more thing to add to the list of the little things about her. Her in all her perfection.

so does crozier the 80s DM end up joining the campaign or not? 👀
crozier the 80s DM ends up joining the campaign. he's no one's first choice because he has terminal DM syndrome-- he's very into strategy and rules and mechanics and worldbuilding at the expense of his ability to play a single character, and he asks a lot of questions while the rest of the table gets annoyed that he's slowing the pace of the session, and he tends to say "i'm going to roll such-and-such" rather than asking "what can i see?" or "do i believe them?" or whatever. fitzjames, who is very much towards the other side of the spectrum where he's more willing to engage in the story at the expense of mechanics, is pretty miffed by this.
crozier isn't used to playing an individual character himself, but he spends a lot of time deliberating and asking the others at the table what they're thinking of playing in order to fit himself into the party last; if he's not going to be enjoyable, he can at least be useful. this approach doesn't gel with the rest of the table, who tend more towards play-what-you-want-and-it'll-all-work-out. he resigns himself to absence during roleplay but functionality during combat, and he'll be decent at travel/exploration too. he settles on a good utility character-- a variant human hunter ranger, outlander background, with the observant feat.
he doesn't intend to roleplay very much, if at all. he figures he'll just stick to the back of the party-- with 11 CHA amongst 14/16/18 CHA characters he's hardly the face, anyway-- and wait for combat. during combat he'll do a decent output of damage, and provide good healing during and after. during exploration he'll basically ensure they don't have to worry at all about food or water or getting lost. his character passively makes everyone's lives easier, but he frustrates the players. does francis not like playing? well, there are so many other things he could be doing. if he doesn't want to play he should just leave the table.
this comes to a head during the tail end of their fifth session. fitzjames, who plays a wild magic sorcerer and always manages to come in clutch with a well-placed enchantment spell, begins making digs at his character; at first it's entirely in-game, one character trying to start a conversation with the other, but out of game, it reads more like fitzjames criticizing crozier for not being a team player. he's not invested in the party. crozier tells him of course he's fucking invested, he built his whole fucking character around the party, and it's their fault if they've gone this far without realizing how much he's done for them. the problem is they've not given him the respect he's owed.
23 to hit, 1 + STR bludgeoning damage.
during their next boss fight, crozier decides, pettily, not to put out any healing and only deal damage. blanky's character loses a leg. mcdonald, present for this session after a couple of months of tight scheduling, can only do so much with cure wounds.
after that, they all have some time to think. crozier sits out the next session, feeling guilty over a stupid decision, even one made in character, that cost another player so gravely. it's just one more reminder that his own actions don't just have consequences for him-- the fallout can land upon others, too. when he comes back a session later, he apologizes. blanky's just glad to have another old man at the table again-- all these young lads who've only played 5e don't have the heads for any gamebreaking shit. in-game, crozier's character makes an effort to mend his relationships with his party members, an olive branch from him to the party and from crozier to the table. his level 8 ASI goes into a 2 point CHA boost, sacrificing the utility of a DEX or WIS increase in favor of showing an effort to invest more in the story and in the character interactions.
his character and fitzjames' character have a bit where they decide to talk about their fight in the fifth session. crozier stumbles his way through the roleplay, and fitzjames gives him more slack than he would ordinarily. fitzjames' character's level 8 ASI goes into WIS; he feels this newfound and growing understanding between them has made him just a little bit wiser.
the thing is, crozier's knowledge of the game, his understanding of mechanics, and his knack for using the rules of the game in service to strategy makes him a good leader for the party. now that he's talking more-- both in- and out-of-character-- there's more discussion at the table about how to go about things. if fitzjames drops a silence on such-and-such area they can wait until the guards reach that spot and fight them unnoticed, or if dundy casts animate objects at the banquet hall they've got 10 forks each doing an average of 6 damage for ~60 damage per turn, and such. of course, blanky already knew crozier was capable of this sort of fuckery, but for the others, it's a pleasant surprise. where before they flew by the seat of their pants and happened to come out the other end with a harrowing story to tell, now they're playing both more carefully and more riskily, with bold strategic moves. this is where their game begins feeling more like a narrative, a story they're playing out but know the ending will be satisfying.
this also means it's time to raise the stakes. the survival mechanics become less forgiving. they're out of crozier's character's favored terrain, and long rests are harder to come by. more attacks happen at night, before they can get a full eight hours, and exhaustion begins to play a factor. crozier's character, now at 13 CHA, takes the inspiring leader feat-- this isn't a character decision, but an effort to keep the party alive by giving them 13 temporary hp per rest. it can only go so far. fitzjames' character eventually racks up 5 levels of exhaustion and is unable to move. the party picks him up and carries him with them in the wagon, and he dies the next morning as he picks up one more level of exhaustion.
after that session, they have a talk at the table about whether or not they want to continue with the campaign. there's been one player character permadeath and things look bleak. the decision is made that the party would wish to continue, and so they do. meanwhile, the DM has allowed fitzjames to take up one of the NPCs to play-- a human swashbuckler rogue with the actor feat.

hi, congrats on your milestone, Clara! can I please get a hp marauders era ship? I’m 5”2’, dark blonde hair and brown eyes. I like chess, reading, writing, poems, coffee and picnics. Capricorn, enneagram 3, personality type Istj-t. I’m in slytherin. I’m not good with feelings, I mostly keep them to myself if I can, but I care deeply for my loved ones and would do anything to help them. I’m interested in history and law.
+ I forgot to mention; im a straight female, so I’d like a male ship please.
of course, Amelia! one vanilla milkshake coming right up for you - and I think I know exactly who you could share it with. the one and only regulus black!
Tumblr media
As Hogwarts’ resident History of Magic prodigy (and a little bit of a genius in most other subjects), and a mostly reserved Slytherin, not many people outside of your house dare to associate with you. It isn’t that you are intimidating per se, but your intelligence is enough to scare most strangers away.
(Also, whenever there’s a wizarding chess tournament, you utterly destroy all of your opponents like it is nothing, which both terrifies and f the fascinates the rest of the school)
On the other hand, you are pretty popular among the Slytherins; you are their sigil, their green and silver pride, of cunning wit and ambition; adding to that the prestige of your family name, long inscribed in the archives of the greatest pureblood wizards of wizarding history... you are, unbeknownst to you, one of the most coveted Slytherin students
Which makes it no surprise that the Black family, still hopeful in their youngest son’s future, would greatly encourage him to get close to you and become your friend, in hopes that your “good reputation” would rub off on him
(And tacitly they all want him to woo you into more than just friendship, because that would certainly be a beneficial match, to restore the family’s image, dented by its eldest son’s mischief)
Though Regulus at first has absolutely no interest in approaching you - and his insides twitch at how wrong it feels to take advantage of one of his classmates for his family’s social gain -, he still has a Black conceit and devotion that eventually convince him to set out and force form a bond with you
But you didn’t come down in the last shower; Regulus never cared for you that much, and suddenly he’s striking up conversation unexpectedly and offering to carry your books to the library to study with him? While Sirius is gallivanting somewhere and staining his family’s name? Of course they’d send Regulus to do some damage control. But two can play this game - and you don’t intend on making it easy for the poor boy
But Regulus is stubborn, maybe as much as you are, and the more you resist, the more he wants to know you
Not in a weird, forceful way, though; when he understands that his presence is unwanted (and he has great tact to sense it, surprisingly), he’ll leave you alone without question
But when you’re alone during breaks and, despite your apparent comfort in your solitude, you look like you desperately need someone to talk to, he’ll just walk up to you and ask you the simplest of questions
“Are you alright?”
You look up at him with skeptical eyes, but read nothing but kindness in them. Was it his parents, too, that told him to check up on you?
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I don’t know. You seemed upset.”
“Maybe you’re the reason I’m upset.”
You don’t know what got into you, why you’re responding so curtly, but a bout of anger is flourishing in your stomach and you fear you might just yell into the sky if you don’t calm down soon
“I don’t think so.”
(He’s right. You’re actually a little bit glad that he came over to you.)
He used to despise James Potter for relentlessly chasing after Lily Evans, but... it’s different with you. You’re special.
(He doesn’t realize that he’s just sounding more and more like him. Or like his brother, god forbid.)
But he remembers little details from your almost conversations
And all those little details make him fall deeper and deeper in love with you
In a genuine way, not at all self-serving like his family intended at first
One day he catches you storming past him in the corridors after a History of Magic class that you had together, instead of waiting for him to have lunch together as you sometimes did
He jogs up to you with concern on his features (and Merlin, how in the three hells are you such a fast runner) and sees that your eyes are welling up with tears that you desperately try to conceal
“Amelia? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Now you’re obviously upset. Why don’t you tell me?”
You don’t flinch, don’t give in, still trying to avoid his gaze - but you won’t hold on for much longer
“Amelia, I promise you can trust me. I won’t laugh at you.”
It’s those words he’s longed to hear for so long, for years even, from anyone, from his parents, from his brother, but never heard
But maybe he can break the cycle of disdain and hatred and be the first to say them
“I failed my NEWT. My History of Magic NEWT! Can you believe that? What am I gonna do? I’m an absolute and utter failure!”
And you can’t stop sobbing in front of him until he takes your hand in his
“Hey, hey, stop. You’re not a failure. This doesn’t define you. You’re still the most intelligent person I know.”
And he means it, oh does he mean it, with all his heart
“You know what? Screw lunch at the Great Hall. Let’s go outside by the lake.”
You still don’t know from where exactly he whipped out a full picnic set, with a tablecloth and a basket of fruit and everything, but you definitely won’t complain
(Maybe he had it planned from the beginning, who knows)
As you lean back on your arms and observe the clear sky and the clouds traversing it peacefully, you can’t help draping your hand over Regulus’
(You don’t notice the blush creeping up on his cheeks)
But you think maybe, just maybe, you’ve found the right person amidst the crowd, in the most unlikely circumstances

List of wips - aka struggles
Call Me A Jason Todd fic I started two years ago and still go back to poke at longingly, will the second and final chapter ever be posted? Who can know for sure.
-
I tell myself that I don't need Anyone (But the truth is no one needs Me) Another Jason Todd fic I haven't completed, posted two years ago for whumptober, it was the only day of whumptober I participated in, intended to be full of Captain Atom and Jason Todd interacting during the fall out of Bludhaven getting chemo'd but he doesn't show up in the first chapter and have you ever tried to read Infinite Crisis? It's a fucking mess. With this wip I have a close to justifiable excuse in that I refuse to write without knowing the canon, and reading through all the canon that's relevant is A Task.
-
The Monster in The Man A Merlin fic floating around my drafts, currently at a good bit over 5k wherein Merlin gets POSSESSED by an old enchantment gone mad. Written because a Merlin fic I read ended on a horror style cliffhanger and I couldn't handle it so I charged my way through the first 2k of a sequel and I've been adding to it ever since. Angst with a hopefully happy ending, if I ever frikking finish it.
-
The Dragon Lord In the aftermath of his father's death after Merlin inherits his father's dragon lord abilities he notices some minor changes to his interactions with his friends, the thing is that Merlin is a dragon lord and unusually what he hoards is people, things might just turn out the better for it.
-
Maelstrom A Naruto time travel fix it fic that wouldn't leave me alone until I got the first chapter out, ironically it has left me entirely alone since I finished the first chapter and I have no idea if inspiration for it will ever return or when that will be.
-
You Don't Know Anything Long long ago in a land of asks and a time of legend @paradise-runway sent me a fic request for "one where the other Bat boys find out the circumstances of Jason's death and resurrection and their reaction?" it has been lingering in my drafts haunting me ever since, someday, someday I shall fulfill what has been promised.
-
Of Curses and Covenants A longfic exploring the magical underbelly of Gotham's history, focuses on the intertwined relationship of the Wayne Family and the Zatara Family brought about by how often Waynes through the generations have ended up being cursed. I have an index of all the curses ready, the problem with this one is the plot and the story.
-
Vicki Finds a Bat (temporary title) Vicki Vale stumbles upon a still alive young adult Jason Todd at a wafflehouse on the way back from snooping into Cobblepot's latest criminal schemes. Convincing the young man to go back home to his loving father might prove more of a challenge than she thinks however. (will have a happy ending if I ever fucking finish it, for now it looms in my drafts like an unhappy gargoyle)
-
Hug Deficit A fic about Jason being touch starved and his family fixing it, hurt/comfort all the way, post resurrection.
-
Stephanie Brown and The Mansion of Man Pain Robin Era Steph, she and Alfred have pumpkin spice lattes together, it's their thing because I say it is. Includes, Alfred raised 5 boys counting Bruce, he's not sure how to handle a little girl and Bruce trying to dad plus Steph trying her best. Would be a lot easier to write if I was any good at comedy.
-
Another Time, Another Place Some twenty years or so after their death, Martha and Thomas Wayne appear in the middle of Wayne Manor's ground floor parlour room, the major problem with this? Not only are Bruce and Dick away, Alfred's on holiday in England! Which is why Jason as the eldest has been unwillingly nominated by his younger siblings to deal with the situation at hand. Martha and Thomas in this are heavily inspired by @unpretty's amazing portrayals in her fics with them.
- Queen Blackfire and the Lazarus Lord An au with Soulmate identifying marks: Jason Todd was having an okay time as de-facto leader of The Outlaws, a band of misfits and rebels with hearts of gold (or at least silver) saving the world the best they could and filling in the gaps the more straightforward heroes tended to miss while they were at it. Then he found out he was soulmates with the Alien Warrior Queen bent on declaring war on planet Earth if the Justice League didn't find her soulmate for her. Things with his friend, team mate and potential future sister in law Kori just got super awkward and the only good thing he can find about this situation is how angry (and protective? But maybe he's just imagining that) Bruce seems over the whole thing.
Side note: Kommand'r freaked out during the years Jason was 'dead' and accidentally brought peace to a huge chunk of space and intergalactic society via building up her empire after throwing herself into work to escape the grief.
- To Grasp The Hand of a Fox Naruto and Kurama travel back in time to save the world but unfortunately they land in the same moment that Kurama's just been put under a genjutsu by Madara Uchiha, Naruto has to make his way to Konoha and wake Kurama up before the villagers seal him away inside Mito. Can he save his friend in time to save them all?
-
Those Winter Sundays Mcu fic. Snapshots of Tony working hard for the avengers and no one noticing. Civil War Team Iron Man.
- Salvation Rides a Solar Wind Iron Man fic in a Science fiction / Western style fic where Tony's presence is described through the eyes of the aliens he helps. Au where the war with Thanos goes very differently. The type of fic that needs like 5 multi chapter fics in a single series to truly shine, hence why I will likely never finish it.
-
And We Break Away Again Jason goes back to Talia after Damian is brought back from the dead by Bruce. It's not that he begrudges his little brother his resurrection, the opposite, but he can't ignore what Bruce did to him by taking him to the magdala valley and he can't ignore what Bruce doing for Damian what he didn't do for him, (do for Dick, do for any of them besides the blood related one) means. So he decides to go back to the only person who ever seemed to understand why he wanted to avenge himself in the first place, the only person who seemed to agree that he had a right to be angry that he'd died at all, the only person he can trust to hold him together while he feels like he's falling apart that won't judge him against the heroic mold while they're at it. Not sure if this will be a oneshot or a series but we're going good Talia with this one regardless, DC's been ruining her lately but through fanfic all things are possible so fuck them.
-
Fan The Flames In the aftermath of a magical fire taking hold of the Daily Planet in Metropolis, Superman is missing, can Batman and the rest of the Justice League find their friend as well as the identity of the evil arsonist before Lex Luther does it first?
-
In a Whisper (In a Wish) Ichigo Kurosaki protects people, it's not just who he is, it's what he is, down to the core of his very soul. The only problem is, that a few weeks ago he sacrificed half his soul to protect the world. It aches inside where he knows something important used to be. When everyone he cares for is avoiding him and he's starting to feel more like a shadow than a person, that aches at him too and he can't help but wish, quietly, privately, painfully, to himself if no one else that things were different, that he wasn't so broken or so alone. But if wishes were fishes they'd fill a whole sea (just be careful not to whisper them within the hearing range of the Hōgyoku).
-
An Honest Conversation (Is A Bitter Thing To Crave) Jason kidnaps Bruce but things don't go as Bruce expects. First of all the reason Jason was able to kidnap him was because Stephanie of all people was his insider, why would she support someone Batman knows she's only met once. And second of all the reason he's been abducted - So that Jason can drug them both with the same substance. And when Bruce asks what he's doing this for Jason only responds, "We don't trust each other enough to have a truthful conversation otherwise" and refuses to say anything more while they wait for it to kick in. What will be revealed by this forced honest encounter on both sides? -
carrying the world on thin shoulders Midoriya Izuku deserves better from literally all the adults in his life so this is part whump part hurt comfort part fix it fic that sprawls out from time to time but it's pretty bad tbh, at some point I'll probably make it neater and give it something resembling a coherent plot. Hopefully. -
Trust Issues HP fic. Harry gets dosed with a potion that's supposed to reinforce your strongest survival instinct, the person who drugged him might've intended to be helpful but said potion happened to be at extra strength and he was given what would be a normal fix for the regular version but for this one is twice the recommended amount. Great.. The biggest problem about all this - beyond his internationally wanted godfather Sirius endangering himself by hiding out in a cave near Hogsmeade against all rational advice, his best friend Ron hating him, everyone in school besides his other best friend Hermione also hating him or avoiding him and the entire Goblet of Fire problem - is that he can't bring himself to trust anyone enough to tell them what's wrong.
-
Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies A post marvel avengers story, thor pov probably, made because I like to dive into a pool of thor & loki sibling feels sometimes: Starts off as Thor regales his new human shield brothers with the story of his banishment and return to Asgard ending with Loki falling into the Void and the Avengers have some questions, questions Thor had not thought of, remarks on things that Thor doesn’t know how to explain away.  After he goes to Loki’s cell and asks him some things he becomes more and more angry despite having no one he can punch > Gets drunk and criticises Sif and The Warriors Three after they try to calm him down > mention of Loki still being underage by Aesir standards during Thor 1 seeing as Thor was being crowned due to being of age in the movie > heavy inspiration drawn from queen regnant by peaceheather. “For while the Treason I detest, the Traitor I love still.” Currently just an outline.
-
Separation Split personality disorder Red Hood and Jason Todd, alternatively, Red Hood is a demon/parasite latched on to Jay. A lot of work necessary considering right now it’s currently just an idea inspired by a cool tumblr fanart.
-
A Trinity of Head Wounds The dcu trinity in the aftermath of a fight against some alien invaders (or something along those lines), whump, hurt/comfort, starts with them arguing, ends with them bleeding on each other in a friendship way, whole thing should take place in a single room on the watchtower and be a oneshot so it's gotta be a short and sweet one-two gut punch with the feelings which is difficuuult.
-
A Stark in The Stars an mcu fic, a really over complicated mcu fic, mostly because of Steve Roger's timeline fuckery, Tony's alive but he's not supposed to be, but so are a lot of people who were dead but aren't now you might say what with the snap and the blip. The thing is that Steve's timeline fuckery is making it so that everyone keeps getting confused between the two different timelines of events, obviously more confused the more that their characters were connected to the films/the events that were altered, the punchline of this particular fic though is that Tony's still alive and he's unaware of the timeline of events where he died. And as he's currently in space he's also unaware that everyone on Earth thinks he's dead (because why wouldn't they? he died in endgame after all). That makes this fic super tough to write because like ultimate unreliable narrator right here and not sure how to tie in the whole 'oh wait actually everyone on Earth thinks I'm dead because of the canon timelines' thing in or at what point of the story to do that at. The fuckery of it all gives me a headache. Plot is hard. Also all of that's basically background to the actual focus of most of the fic thus far which is Tony travelling around space in an Iron Man suit up until the point where it won't be background.
-
Magic Chained Merlin au. When you put magic restraining cuffs on Magic himself you don't just bind him you bind all magic the world over. It is therefore, infinitely lucky that Uther Pendragon never became aware of this fact.
-
A Child in The Cold bnha Midoriya deserves better also Recovery Girl and Aizawa have shit to answer for as far as I'm concerned.

Notes: I highly recommend you listen to What If by SafetySuit either before reading or while reading because it fits this chapter so perfectly it took me half an hour to choose which lyrics to use.
"If it makes you sad at me, then it's all my fault and let me fix it please."
"You know your problems won't go away if you hide from them, right?" Lisa asked without looking up from her magazine.
"You know Tiger Beat is a child's magazine, right?" You asked without looking up from your spot on the floor.
Lisa closed the magazine loudly. She huffed and crossed her arms, "As soon as this baby gets out of me, I'm kicking your ass."
"Then who's going to feed Jennie while you're in the hospital recovering from your injuries?"
"I can feed myself, thank you very much."
"I'm not sure you know your left from your right sometimes."
"You're mean when you're scared and upset." Jennie's nose scrunched up. She is not afraid to admit her feelings were a bit hurt. She knew her left from her right, but she was definitely lying about being able to feed herself. She can't cook to save her life.
"I'm not scared or upset."
"You're a pathological liar, too."
"Ladies, ladies you're all pretty! Now, will you shut your traps. My blood pressure is spiking because all of your damn yapping."
"Sorry, mom." Everyone apologized. Even Kameron, who hadn't even been in the original conversation.
All five of you were packed into the medium sized hospital room, save for George whom had to return to work that day.
You sat the closest to your mother, Jennie and Lisa sharing the small cushioned bench built under the window. Kameron sat in an extra plastic chair directly under the suspended 19 inch television, his laptop on his lap currently being used to hack into the hospital's wifi.
"Y/N, apologize for calling Jennie stupid." Maria admonished as she fiddled with the television remote. The buttons were huge, that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the hospital seemed to have only two working channels. Fox News and...oh, the other one just lost signal. Just Fox News.
Maria opted for turning off the television.
"I rather not." You answered plainly. Your knees were tucked under your chin and you still stared at that spot on the linoleum floor.
Maria swatted your thigh.
"Y/N Ariel Y/LN."
You just grumbled.
"Your middle name is 'Ariel'? Like the mermaid?" Jennie started to laugh loudly. She immediately stopped upon the shoe hitting her square in the gut.
"No. Not like the mermaid, Knothead." You gestured for Jennie to give back your shoe. Jennie did so with a scowl.
"Why is she being so mean?" Lisa pouted.
Maria huffed, "Her heat's about to start. So, she's grumpy. Also, she got herself into a unforgiving situation and it's all starting to unravel in front of her." Maria looked as though she had even more explanation to give but thought better of it.
You eyed your mother suspiciously, "How'd you know all that?"
"Mother's intuition."
Lisa's eyes squinted in determination, "Time for 'Operation: Just Pick One! Damn!'."
Everyone nodded along in agreement except for you.
"I've got the Pros and Cons T-Table pulled up!" Kameron gestured to his laptop. Lisa gave him a thumbs up.
You stared at your omega brother, "What do you know about any of this?"
"Oh, Lali and I talk once a week about you because you don't tell us anything. We were going to stage an intervention within the coming week if all of this hadn't happened." He said as though it was obvious.
You just rolled your eyes. Your brother knowing your business was the least of your problems at this point.
"Okay, but if we're going to have this conversation, Jennie has to leave."
"What? Why?"
"Because you're an alpha and you wouldn't get it."
"Try me."
"...Fine."
Lisa clapped excitedly, "Yay! It's finally happening. Kam, make sure you share the spreadsheet with your mom and I." She pulled her MacBook air out of large handbag and then delicately placed Maria's laptop on her overbed table.
Kameron nodded just as excitedly. Maria also nodded appreciatively as the group got their data together.
You wondered when your life got this out of hand.
At least Jennie looked just as lost as you.
"Um, babe? Is all of this necessary? I think you're scaring-"
"Shhhhhh, honey," Lisa blindly pressed a few fingers against Jennie's lips, "I know exactly what I'm doing."
"...ok..." Jennie looked to you with a mildly frightened look on her face. She shook her head slowly as if to say 'I tried. I am so sorry for what you're about to go through."
"Okay. First question! Who have you thought of more recently?" Kameron asked as he typed furiously on his HP.
"I'm not sure what any of this is going to help."
"Answer the question!" Kameron urged.
"God! I'm thinking about them both constantly, but I guess, Rosé because I spoke to her last."
Kameron nodded resolutely and continued to type.
"Next question, if they were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would you save?" Lisa asked, her eyes narrowing intensely at her best friend.
"Jennie, do you feel like this is a trap? Because I feel like this is a trap!" You inquired. You scooted your chair further away from everybody.
Jennie slowly pulled her arm from behind her wife, she then scooted away from her and to the opposite end of the bench, "Yes. This feels exactly like a trap."
"Okay, you don't have to answer that one." Maria glared at Lisa who just shrugged.
"How about this one? Who do you miss the most?"
You threw your hands in the air in exasperation, "Lali asked me that months ago! Don't you think if it was that simple I wouldn't be in this situation right now?! I miss both of them because they won't fucking talk to me! And I don't blame them. I wouldn't want to talk to me either." You sat back into your chair with a watery sigh.
"Can I give it a try?" Jennie raised her hand sheepishly, "Without all the spreadsheets and interrogations." She directed the second part at three specific people.
The three specific people all reluctantly closed their laptops.
"Everyone else is, so why not?"
"Well, first. I think you need to lay off yourself a bit. Yeah, you put yourself and them into a sucky situation, so what? Get over that. There's no going back to change anything, so why wallow in it? Relax and forgive yourself." Jennie spoke softly, her forearms resting against her thighs as she leaned forward.
Your shoulders sagged just enough to let Jennie know she was getting through to you.
"I'm sure you know what traits you value in a partner, and I'm not going to ask you what those traits are because I'm sure Lisa would start to log your answers again. Besides, it's none of our business." Lisa glared at Jennie.
"You just have to apply those traits. Organize your morals which you have clearly been fast and loose with lately. Ask yourself questions like 'Are you really ready to be a family woman? A mother?' And 'Are you okay with your mate having her work really high on her priorities list?' Think about what you want. Think about what you need. Think about who would be the best alpha for you. And then when you have all those answers to all those questions and you're all thinked out. Stop thinking and just go talk to her." Jennie smiled softly as you nodded slowly.
Lisa stared at her wife, her mouth wide opened, "I have absolutely no idea why, but that was the sexiest thing you have ever done." Jennie blushed heavily.
"Yeah, Jen. When did you get to be so smart?" You teased.
"I have a B.S. in Biochemistry from NYU." Jennie deadpanned.
"Yeah but you're a lounge singer. It's not like you're doing anything with it."
"Alright, you got me there."
"Knock, knock. Hello, Mrs. Y/LN. Your discharge papers are ready." The doctor explained as she stood at the door, not wanting to intrude.
"Oh thank God! I was going to jump out the window if it had been another hour."
"Mom!"
"What? You would've too. Now shut up and help me into my clothes."
You did as told.
~•~
Once you were sure your mother was settled at her home with your father. You went back to yours.
You sat heavily on your couch.
Jennie said to think. So, that's what you were going to do.
In the back of your mind, you knew who it was supposed to be the minute Jennie finished talking.
Sometimes, you just need to be told to get over yourself and put things into perspective.
But you chugged on anyway.
If only to double, triple check.
Some thoughts involve Jennie's suggested quandaries and others you came up with all by yourself.
It's about 5 minutes in that you're already noticing a very clear pattern. The same name keeps coming up. Amid 'Yes' and 'Nos' and 'We're just going to have to work on thats'.
It hit you so harshly you're not even sure why this was a struggle to begin with. The revelation just about sucks all the nagging anxiety and subsequent energy out of your brain. This must have been the "thinked out" part Jennie was talking about.
That meant the next step was to stop thinking.
It's easier said than done, but you managed.
The last step.
Just go talk to her.
You nodded with finality.
You were going to do just that, but first you needed to fix something.
~•~
"I'm sorry." You said. You may be done feeling sorry for yourself, but that didn't mean you couldn't feel sorry for others.
"For what?"
"It-I can't keep doing this to you. It's not fair."
"I-I understand, I guess."
"I shouldn't have led you on. Made you think-"
"It's okay, Y/N. It really is. But I'm going to need some time before we can get back to normal if I can ever do that, with you again."
"I get it. I'll see you...later?"
You don't get an answer. Just a pained look and then a sort of wobbly shrug.
You have a feeling that's all you'll get from her for a while. And surprisingly, you're a little more okay with that then you thought you would be.
~•~

5,8,9,19,20!
5. What was the first time you really connected to this character, if ever? Why do you think this moment made the character special to you?
probably just building him. i wanted to make him different than prior dnd characters ive played and i just rly love him :( 
8. What’s one weird personal headcanon you have for the character that’s not addressed or that you haven’t found a way to share yet?
winter tai doesnt like walking so he will like. lean on someone til he gets carted around somehow alskdfj
9. What are your character’s relationships like with every member of their party? Bonus, if you want to write a short blurb on your character’s opinion of them.
aelia- filled the void leaving his sisters gave him. trusts her wholeheartedly and is closest to her out of anyone. spring tai would call her family, summer considers her a confidant. 
alunda- incredibly smart. both of them are very interested in books and research and the arcane, so he can easily relate to her. enjoys when they both get hooked on a thread and unravel the mystery together.
cerise- another fill the little sister void. thinks of her as a little sister. wants to help her and protect her but hasn’t figured out how or if he even can/should. 
sylreth- mysterious, but another islander. wants to know the mystery, but trusts him. spring tai is very friendly with him but summer is a little more suspicious
vigil- mysterious. wants to trust them but doesn’t know if he should. in the meantime, they’re good conversation, smart, and skilled.
19. What bit of character development are you proudest of? What bit do you wish hasn’t happened? Is there any development you’re still waiting for?
hmmm its kinda hard to get traditional character development with tai bc of eladrin nature. i guess the sitting down and talking about stuff part would be it. development im waiting for would be re his warlock patron.
20. How did you think your character would die when you started the campaign? How do you think they’ll die now? If they’re already dead, substitute that in for the second answer.
uh at the beginning with only playing spring tai probably something stupid alskdfj 
now that party development has happened i think he’ll die either
a) very easily (that health)
b) very tragically (because of his hp, members of his party including the fuckin. wizard. have had to protect him so if he dies that doesn’t bode well for the rest of the party)

ik it's a lot but could you do all the hp questions for my baby Cordelia??
I was waiting for someone to ask me this! Thank you Maddie!
1. What’s their blood status (pure blood, muggleborn, etc)? What are their thoughts on the concept of blood status?
Cord is a muggleborn, and when she came to Hogwarts, she was shocked by the whole blood status concept. The shock wore away into disgust, and in the end, Cord thinks it’s just absolutely ridiculous
2. What is their wand wood and core?
Applewood and Unicorn hair
3. Do they bring a a pet to Hogwarts with them?
Absolutely! As a belated birthday present, Cord’s Aunt Andrea bought her a barn owl that she named Horus (after the Egyptian god)
4. What Hogwarts house were they sorted into? Why did the hat put them in that house over the others? Was it a quick sorting or a hatstall? Are they happy with their sorting? What Hogwarts house would they least fit into?
Cord is sorted into Slytherin, which the whole point of her story. When she was under the Sorting Hat, they had a little convo about all the houses and she asked why no one seemed to like Slytherin that much. The Hat gave her a little bit of background, and Cord made up her mind right there and then that she was going to turn around Slytherin’s reputation. She was warned that she might run into some trouble with her housemates, but Cord was determined. Everyone was shocked when the Hat finally yelled “SLYTHERIN!” after their 5 minute conversation. As for which house she would least fit into, I think that would probably be Gryffindor because she values determination more over chivalry
5. What subject is their favorite at Hogwarts? Which is their least favorite? Is their favorite the same as their best subject?
Charms is definitely Cord’s favorite, as well as her best, subject. She loves actually being able to perform magic because it’s something that she never thought she would be doing. As for her least favorite subject, it’s Potions, though it’s not because she doesn’t love the subject. It’s her least favorite because Cord hates Snape (even though he’s her Head of House)
6. What electives do they chose in third year?
Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, and Muggle Studies (she got permission to take more than two electives)
7. Do they earn more house points or do they lose more?
Definitely lose more, because she sasses Snape all the time. Though, around the other professors, she’s usually a really good student, thus earning back some of those points she lost
8. How do they do on their OWLs? On their NEWTs?
Cord does REALLY well on both her OWLs and her NEWTs, she’s neck-in-neck with Hermione concerning top grades in their year
9. Thoughts on Quidditch? Do they play? And if so, what position do they play?
Cord really enjoys Quidditch, and wants to play after first year. However, Malfoy gets the Seeker position in second year, leaving her to wait until third year to try out. She goes for the Keeper position because she played goalie in soccer growing up. Her skill as a goalie really helped her, and much to the other Slytherins’ chagrin, Cord was made the new Slytherin Keeper
10. What Wizarding treat (Bertie Botts, chocolate frogs, etc) is their favorite?
Cord ADORES Cauldron Cakes; she loves any baked goods like cupcakes in the muggle world, so she would gobble up a bunch of them on the train to Hogwarts
11. What is their Patronus? What happy memory do they use to conjure it?
Cord’s patronus is a gazelle (hint hint nudge nudge). As for her happy memory, it’s her, Daphne, Tracey, the Golden Trio, Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Nott all together in a meeting for the Hogwarts Jane Austen book club, laughing and being happy together
12. What is their Boggart? What happens to it when they cast Riddikulus?
Cord’s boggart originally was her parents, but after the Department of Mysteries battle, her boggart became her girlfriend, Cheyenne. Whenever she cast the Riddikulus spell, Cheyenne becomes an old lady with a long gray braid
13. What does Amortentia smell like to them?
To Cord, it smells like the ocean, the Quidditch pitch after a good soak, and treacle tart for Harry
14. What spell is their favorite? Which do they use the most?
Silencio, she uses it to turn off the voices of the Slytherins who make fun of her and her status as a muggleborn
15. If they needed it, what form would the Room of Requirement take for them?
Well, I came up with this headcanon that Cord, Daphne, and Tracey (the Antimony Trio) form a band during their years at Hogwarts, similar to the Hex Girls. After their first performance in third year, they would use empty classrooms to practice. However, after Harry discovers the Room of Requirement for the DA, the Antimony Trio begin using it for band practice on non-DA days. In sixth year, they held a private concert in the Room of Requirement before the holidays for DA members (it was AWESOME)
16. If they trained as an Animagus, what form would they take?
A black panther
17. What do they do/want to do after Hogwarts?
Honestly, Cord wants to work in the Ministry to better Muggle relations with the Wizarding World. She feels like both worlds could learn from one another more
18. Which Unforgivable Curse would they be most likely to use? What would be the reason for it?
The Cruciatus Curse; she actually used it on the Death Eater that killed Cheyenne because she was so upset and furious
19. Which Unforgivable Curse would they hate to have used on them the most?
The Killing Curse; she couldn’t bare to imagine what would happen to her aunt if she were killed since they lost her parents
20. Which Deathly Hallow (wand, stone, or cloak) would they want? Why?
The Resurrection Stone; Cord would only use it to see her parents one more time to say goodbye to them because they were taken away from her so suddenly. She would probably also reassure Harry’s parents, Sirius, and potentially Remus (I’m debating actually killing him off because I hated his and Tonks’ death sm) that she would look after Harry and make sure he doesn’t get into anymore trouble haha

Chapter 5 - Catalyst
Fic series: The Final Straw (HP/PJO Crossover Fic)
Premise: A fight breaks out during first period.
Masterlist
Taglist: @ilvermornymascot, @lukecastellandeservedbetter
Word Count: 1,540
A/N: Back to our regularly scheduled programming! I was up all night last night working on the chapter because honestly sleep isn’t a thing anymore. I think this is my personal favourite chapter by far and yes it is absolutely because I made a “my father will hear about this” reference. Might bring that one up again, but we’ll see XD Hope you enjoy!
"What do you think it means?" Harry asked at breakfast the next day. "The prophecy. I mean, the bridge? What tether? The one I had to deal with wasn't this hard to decipher." 
"Our prophecies never mean what you think," Nova said. "Whatever the bridge is, it couldn't mean a literal bridge. Maybe it's a person. Someone that acts as a bridge to connect both sides." 
"So, you?" Percy raised an eyebrow. 
"Or, it could mean a God," she gave him a look. "Like Janus."
"I never want to deal with him again." The son of Poseidon complained.  
"You never wanted to deal with a prophecy again. Anything's possible." Annabeth said. Percy glared at her and scowled. Things hadn't been patched up between them since the previous night. "I wonder which of us will be the heroes. I hate to say it, but Percy and Harry are guaranteed to be involved." 
"It could be anyone," Hermione snapped. "Harry couldn't possibly be involved in another prophecy. Not so soon." Annabeth opened her mouth to respond until Nova held up a hand. 
"I'm going to stop both of you now before this gets out of hand." The rule Ilvermorny had about students sitting with others of different years and houses expanded to the wizards and demigods. So far Nova was overwhelmed by all the fighting happening around her and wanted to keep that at bay at her table at the very least. Especially while she was still waking up. "We should just drop talk about the prophecy for the time being. It's not helping anyone, and parts won't be figured out or revealed until the right time."
The table agreed and fell silent. Around them, were groups of students having the same conversation Nova just cut-off, or arguing with each other. It seemed that the various rooming situations either worked out really well or went very wrong. Rachel and Luna, in particular, had gotten along right away. "What's a wrackspurt?" 
Hermione scoffed, and Ron groaned at Rachel's question. Harry and Ginny, on the other hand, tried to suppress giggles. Luna's eyes lit up as she explained what they were to the redhead and barely looked up when Professor Lieberman, the Pukwudgie Head of House, handed over their schedules.  
When the Professor got around to Nova, she handed her a small envelope as well. "The Headmaster asked me to give this to you." 
"Thanks, Professor." 
After scanning the schedule, she headed to combat and duelling in the training grounds. The class had a mixture of students from all four houses, a few of which were the transfer students. She tried to mask her annoyance when she noticed Clarisse and Draco were in the class together. Something was bound to go wrong.  
The students made their way to the two professors teaching the class and listened to the introduction. "Hello, class. For those that don't know, I am Professor Sullivan, the flying and duelling instructor. I will be sharing a class with Professor Beaumont as it is vital we teach you, students, every form of fighting." 
"But demigods can't use magic," An Ilvermorny student called out.  
"And wizards don't have any weapons!" A demigod added.  
"Please leave questions and comments at the end of the lecture," Professor Beaumont commanded. The class quieted down, and the ones that were speaking out looked sheepish. "You both make good points. Although some Demigods can use magic, it is just different from the wizards."  
"Our goal in this class is to teach you how to fight against an opponent you would have never expected." Sullivan continued. "However, for today, we will have the wizards with me, and the demigods with Professor Beaumont. Is that clear?" 
"Yes, Professor," the class chorused.  
"Any questions?" 
Nova raised her hand, trying not to feel stupid. "For those of us that fit into both categories – because I know I'm not the only one – where do we go?" 
"Fan of flying?" Sullivan asked.  
"You know I'm not." Nova sighed.  
"Go with the demigods." The Professor smirked. "If you're not afraid of flying, you'll be with me today. If you are, join Nova." 
The groups split off, and Percy made his way next to Nova. "Flying?" 
"Yes, we can fly on broomsticks," Nova braced herself for the teasing. "No, they aren't the basic straw brooms in media." 
"I'm pretty sure I'm the first person to ask you about that," Percy mused. "And yet, you already sound annoyed." 
"I know you well enough to know that I'm aware I'll never hear the end of it," she rolled her eyes. 
"You two!" Professor Beaumont interrupted their banter. "Have something to share with the rest of the class?" 
"No," they said, sheepishly.   
"Great, then I'm going to assume you were listening to instructions," Cassia said. "I don't care who you partner with, just try not to kill each other." 
"Frank, what were the instructions?" Percy leaned over to his friend.  
"Get into groups of two, and practice combat," he told them. "We have an uneven number, though." 
"We could be a group of three?" Nova suggested. "Take turns fighting each other. Third person watches and dictates who wins each round." 
"Sure, why not," Percy shrugged, grabbing his pen from his back pocket. "You and me first, Nova? I miss training with you." 
"You’re on, Jackson," she removed a bronze hair clip and flipped it to reveal Harpe. Percy got into position facing her, and uncapped Riptide. Nova was a bit nervous facing off against Percy. He was the only one able to match Luke in a fight when they were twelve, and she remembered it well. He was skilled, and Nova planned to give him a real challenge.  
The demigod made the first move, almost losing his balance when Nova dodged him. She moved forward, forcing Percy to back up from where he stood. She managed to stay in control of the fight until Percy deflected her blade, and forced it out of her hands. Grabbing the hilt, Percy shrugged and tossed it back to her. Nova easily caught it, and they continued on.    
They parried for quite a bit, neither of them willing to give up. Weaving through the other teams, they swiftly moved across the grounds and stayed evenly matched with one another. Without realizing it Nova and Percy had moved closer to the castle walls. The roles of offence and defence were switching between them constantly. It was as though they were silently communicating as they continued to train.  
Percy was offence when he realized they were closer to the castle and saw it as an opportunity to overtake Nova. He maneuvered their fight so that her back was against the wall, and rested his blade against her throat. His left arm braced against the wall right above her head. "You know if you don't apply pressure, I could easily get out of this hold."  
"If I drew blood, I'd get in trouble," he replied. "And seeing as you have an advantage, why not use it?" 
"Catching my breath, I suppose." Nova lied, blushing.  
"We could stop the fight here." 
"What would be the fun in that?" 
"Touche-" 
"BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU THROW THAT THING!" Nova's attention moved from Percy to the students up on brooms. Draco was descending from his position and angrily marched up to Clarisse who had gone to collect her spear.  
"Better go deal with this," Nova groaned.  
"Clarisse may not listen to you, I should help." Percy insisted, moving away from the wall to let her go.  
"She won’t listen to anyone but Will," Nova shrugged. "Go train with Frank, I'll be fine." 
The Head Girl made her way to the two, as they began a shouting match. "I should be allowed to throw my spear wherever the hell I want, Pretty Boy." 
"And I should be able to have a friendly competition with my classmates without worrying about being killed!" He argued back.  
"Dude, a bludger has the potential to kill you," Nova intervened. "I get your point, but think realistically. Wizard sports are about as safe as weapons." 
"No one asked you!" Clarisse and Draco chorused.  
"Yeah, I don’t care," she crossed her arms. "Here's what's going to happen. Clarisse, you're going to throw your spear in any direction away from the wizards. Malfoy, your father will not hear about it, so shut up and stop being dramatic."  
Both parties stared at her completely speechless, Clarisse reeling in anger. Draco just looked shocked, not having said that phrase since his fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry tried to suppress his laughter as the crowd watched, but failed. "Seriously, Potter?" 
All the Chosen One could do was nod, too busy laughing to say anything. Everyone stood around awkwardly, not sure what was so funny. "Thank you, Nova, but we'll take it from here." 
Nova stepped back, and let the professors talk to the two of them and sort something out. "Since it's the first day, I won’t give either if you detention. However, I will deduct ten points each from Horned Serpent and Wampus."  
"Professor!" Draco whined.  
"Five more points!" Sullivan snapped. "Now get back to your activities and no more arguing for the rest of the period."
