Howdy y'all!

It seems like I can only find the wherewithal to post on Sunday these days. Please don't stop tagging me for Wednesdays, though! I have hope that I'll build up the free time for it again!

Thanks to @prettygoododds, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, @larkral, @wellbelesbian, @artsyunderstudy, @nightimedreamersghost, @rimeswithpurple, @shemakesmeforget, @whatevertheweather, @ileadacharmedlife, @facewithoutheart, @cutestkilla and @alexalexinii for tagging me over the last couple of weeks!

First things first, To Heal A Broken Mind is in the homestretch, y'all! It ought to be done in the next two weeks, and then goes to my beta, and then I finally get to share it with @yellobb-old and the rest of the world! Here's a bit of softness from the final chapter:

“I love you!” I blurt, and then squeak and hide my face in his shoulder. But he doesn’t let me hide, just chuckles and lifts my head up so I’m facing him again. . 

“I love you too,” he says solemnly, and I feel tears burn at the corner of my eyes. “But hold that thought. After tomorrow, say it to me again. And I’ll do the same. And we’ll start our new life…or, at least, my new life, with you in it. For good this time”

Westward Son is also on the downhill slide, both in the story and in the completion of it! I estimate that the final chapter will go up before November. Here's our crew getting to know a new friend:

Acorn knows where all sorts of forest gleanings may be had. He shows us berry bushes that still have ripe fruit, though chilled by the frost. He digs up squirrel hordes of acorns (his namesake, he chuckles), along with other nuts and seeds. And, while he is strictly a plant eater, he isn’t offended when we hunt the beasts of the forest. He even shows us the best places to set traps or string fishing lines. 

When I ask him if he’s bothered by us eating meat in his presence, he’s philosophical. “Should I grow angry at the puma or the wolf because they consume the beautiful deer and rabbits? Their needs are not mine, and so I am content with eating differently from humans, because I am not human.”

The next chapter of Saving Simon Snow is coming soon, lol (and so is Simon) (warning for smutty snippet below):

It’s harder than you’d think to roll your eyes and sneer in disgust when the love of your life is rocking in and out of you, and you feel so full that you’re certain you’ll burst. But I put in the work. 

“Consummated? You’re a moron, Snow,” I grumble, even as he steadily takes me apart. 

He laughs. “I feel like you should call me Simon when I’m fucking you,” he says, panting. 

“You’re a moron, Simon,” I repeat obediently. 

Here's a little bit of tension from Snow Fox (next chapter also up in a day or two!)

Gareth comes into view, his pistol now pressed to the back of Malcolm Grimm’s head. “I tied up the Lieutenant, Sir. Shall I give the rest of these blackguards the same treatment?”

Forgive me, Baz.

“As you please,” I tell Gareth, keeping my tone light. “And no need to be gentle.”

From my CORB, The Heart in The Well, Baz is in a spot of trouble.

A sharp pain in my skull, and I found myself facing a hobgoblin. He was holding me up by my hair. Hobgoblins are related to goblins, but their skin is more greenish-grey than green, and they’re far uglier. But they eat people, just like their prettier cousins. I wondered if I was about to be their next meal. 

I hoped they’d choke on me.

From what I am currently calling "Simon the TikTok Dancer" (which will absolutely not be its final name), try to guess who Simon's teacher is 😉

At least Snow’s obvious progress makes what I have to tell him tonight easier. I’ve been dreading it all day. San Diego State University starts up again on Monday, and so our dance season is over. I have to say good-bye to Snow, at least for the school year. 

I indulge myself in watching him dance, not eager to bring down the mood already. 

I can see spots where his control is rough, and areas where he needs more precision, but truly, he’s already beautiful to watch.

And finally, a little Simon and Baz bonding from Stars, Flowers, and Children:

Simon is bubbling over with excitement, and I can’t help being infected with his enthusiasm. The moment we reach the pond, he spins to face me with a wild grin and says, “We’ve found Blackbeard’s lagoon, Baz! His buried treasure must be nearby!” 

I stare at him. What on Earth is he on about?

Simon’s smile fades a little. When he speaks again, it’s in a softer, more coaxing tone. “Come on Baz. Haven’t you ever played a game of make believe?”

Is that what this is?  “I didn’t grow up around many other children,” I admit, stiffly. 

Simon’s expression softens into something that looks very much like pity. It’s intolerable. 

I'm actually posting well before midnight for once, so I'm going to tag generously. Welcome and join me if you'd like, friends!

Earthshot

I'm pretty sure Scobie hinted at it in Endgame. I've only just now made the connection after seeing this post from @sassyfrassboss and William's announcement for Cape Town.

What makes the House of Windsor unique with this dance with the media is the competing households within it, all with their own agendas, and all doing their best to please their bosses. Up until the Queen's death, there were three houses, each with a team assigned to work with the media: Kensington Palace for William and Kate, Clarence House for Charles and Camilla, and Buckingham Palace for the monarch. There were also smaller teams under the BP umbrella who worked with other family members like Edward and Sophie, Princess Anne, and (pre-departure) Harry and Meghan. Though all part of the same institution, the rivalry between these teams is real in many ways and often derails a unified message. Each house is often angling for the same space in newspapers, hand-waving for attention with regards to their work, grabbing the ideal dates and locations for their tours and engagements, or scrambling for first dibs on charitable causes. And this rivalry often causes rifts, problems, and confusion downstream after a particular household offers breaking news or choreographs a PR operation. It was an 'absolute headache' when Charles, William, and Harry all wanted to do similar high-profile environmental work, an aide once told me. 'None of them were into the idea of collaborating; they all wanted their own big moments away from the other...It was all about competition, and the households were purposefully holding information back so others couldn't try to get ahead,' they explained.

So going down the rabbit hole:

Summer 2019 (July or August) - Harry announced Travalyst.

December 2019 - William announced the Earthshot Prize.

January 2020 - Charles announced the Sustainable Marketplaces, which evolved in 2021 as Terra Cotta.

The only reason I think these charities are what Scobie is alluding to is because of how butthurt and bent out of shape Harry got when William announced the Earthshot Prize. I can't remember what he did anymore - was it that new picture of Archie with the mountain/lake behind him or was there something more? - but whatever he did, it was immediately apparent he didn't like William's work at all.

And now with hindsight, Harry probably thought he had called dibs on environmental work when he launched Travalyst, so it wasn't fair for William to have co-opted it with the Earthshot Prize a couple months later and then it equally wasn't fair when Charles threw his own hat into the mix.

But I think the joke is on Harry. William and Charles's projects were fully developed when they launched, to where now, 4 years later, they're very successful and have name recognition all over the world. Meanwhile, no one knows what Travalyst does, people think it's a grift for Harry and Meghan to write off all their travel expenses and accept travel freebies under the guise of sustainability, and Harry's been kicked off the board. He's still listed on the website as Founder and Patron, but it's been made vrey clear in a couple of articles when the website was updated that Harry's not involved in the company anymore other than being a lightning rod for controversy.

GP Memories: 2021 Italian GP ↳ Oscar and the Nutella biscuits saga

Paul: so we went in the uhm, autostrada... like, autogrill stuff to eat something on the way. Michele looked at me- [can you finish your panna cotta, please?] no, no, just tempting you a bit more.

So, Michele stopped in a- uuh, and looked at me with the Nutella stuff and says "this is for us" so I say, "yeah, good idea!". So, we start to eat and then came the last two ones, he looked at the tube and was like, "f*ck you, you ate everything... it was for Oscar!" what? No, you didn't say that!

#oscar piastri #oscar #f2 #formula 2 #f1 #formula 1 #op81 #mine #gifs #my edit #gp memories #the prema videos have hard subs on them and i hate how they look so i keep having to cut AROUND them and... well the quality is already bad #but it gets worse when you try to do anything like this to it #well oh well really all I care about is Oscar eating sweets lol

[sitp-recs]

hi hello i’ve been compulsively playing hayday for the past 48 hours and am in desperate need of farm / cottagecore drarry, if you’ve read any new ones recently (bc i’ve literally gone through everything on your list you’re actually a godsend) i would appreciate it soooso much if you shared xxxx

Hi anon! That’s the cutest ask I’ve ever received haha I hope you enjoy these farm & cottagecore recs :)

To the Rhythm of the Waves by @tsauergrass (2020, G, 2.7k)

They found a lot of things together: the cottage, the garden, their lives, each other. Then one day, Harry finds a hammock.

Home is Where the Nifflers Are by @primavera-cerezos (2020, G, 4k)

Draco has a soft spot for animals with nowhere to go; soon his and Harry's small flat is bustling with adorable, semi-dangerous creatures.

Country Roads by maraudersaffair (2021, E, 8k)

On his farm, Harry grows magical crops and keeps magical creatures. His Muggle-Repelling and Masking Charms are not doing well and he’s attracting unwanted attention and suspicion from his Muggle neighbours. The Ministry sends Draco to make sure that everything abides to the International Statue of Secrecy.

the treehouse near primrose downs by @softlystarstruck (2022, M, 14k)

Draco and Harry have been roommates for years, so buying a magical house in the countryside shouldn’t be a big difference. But in between fresh loaves of bread and beds of wildflowers, things start to fall into place.

Life Is The Flower (For Which Love Is the Honey) by @bafflinghaze (2016, T, 15k)

The Malfoy Manor lands are lush and verdant. Bees hover over carpets of flowers, and ducks paddle in the pond. It is a place far removed from bustling London and pesky reporters; it is a place where Harry finds what—and who—he didn’t know he was missing.

amid this warm and steady sweetness by warmfoothills (2019, E, 21k)

Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.

What Makes a House a Home by @writcraft (2022, E, 27k)

Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts Draco Malfoy wakes up in an unfamiliar house owned by none other than Harry Potter. Even stranger is the snow in September and a night sky without any stars. Naturally it’s a matter of life and death, because isn’t it always?

On Your Shore by @xanthippe74 (2020, M, 35k)

Clearing out a remote house full of cursed collectibles in the Outer Hebrides? Not a problem for an experienced curse breaker like Harry Potter. Spending a week with the straight, happily-married man that he’s starting to have feelings for? And sharing a bed with him at night? Surely Harry can handle that, too. But both the house and Draco Malfoy have secrets to uncover, and Harry might be in deeper water than he thought.

Through the May Air, Over the Ocean by @tsauergrass (2019, T, 45k)

Draco Malfoy never expected to find himself in Scotland or being stuck in a cottage with Potter—but wonders never cease. A story about warmth, a story about falling back in love. A story about a flock of sheep in the distant fells of Scotland.

The Bolthole by aideomai, GallaPlacidia and Tepre (2020, E, 54k)

Harry is a hoarder, Draco is grief-stricken, and both are capable human adults who can definitely spend a month in a cottage in the Cotswolds together without ever talking about the time they slept together in eighth year. Yeah, no, totally.

Sweet Creature by bananagege, bribitribbit (2018, T, 63k)

Harry loves his sheep, his dogs, the tranquil countryside farm he's turned into a home. He doesn't need Draco Malfoy screwing it all up. But, god, what else is he supposed to do about Draco Malfoy sleeping with a lamb in his bed?

The Kitchen Thieves (and the Kitchen Herself) by @potteresque-ire (2018, E, 67k)

In a deserted cottage miles away from Hogsmeade, two young spirits waited for a new owner to call the place home. One day, Auror Harry Potter bought the cottage. One evening, farm wizard Draco Malfoy showed up to spend the night with Harry...and steal a pepper shaker from the kitchen. Maybe Kate can tell you all about them? She’s the spirit who looks after the kitchen, and she’s got quite a bit to say…

all the western stars by @oflights (2022, E, 78k)

Draco is a Seer who has been struck with terrible, uncontrollable visions of the deaths of everyone around him, triggered by touch. He retreats to an Unplottable Black family cottage to research his condition and fix it. Things are going relatively well until Harry Potter shows up at the cottage with a furry condition of his own.

Knead by laughingd0g (2020, E, 83k)

This is not a story about Harry renovating Grimmauld Place. This is a story about coffee shops and brewpubs, about Ginny and Luna on a farm with creatures, about magical Oregon, coastal road trips, flying, friendship, and Draco Malfoy's lean arms.

Wild, orphaned (2016, E, 92k)

“No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.” “I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”

WIP Wednesday

or tuesday i guess, because tumblr started glitching when i scheduled this and clearly got the day and time wrong

thank you for all the tags this past week @confused-bi-queer @cutestkilla @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @fatalfangirl and @ileadacharmedlife

here's some of chapter three for my @carryonthroughtheages fic. i'm making pretty good progress on it, considering how i usually procrastinate until the last minute for fic events. i mean, i still haven't even finished my 2021 fic. it guilt haunts me, and i promise i'll get to it eventually.

but for this fic, three chapters and various smaller scenes done! yay! i'm hoping to have at least the first five chapters written before the first chapter is due to go up, and i have a poll i need answering regarding how i should post it, but i'll put that after the wip:

Already, he’s looking through the shelves, pulling random books down and tossing them aside when they’re not what he’s looking for.

“Hey!” Niamh shouts. “Quit wrecking my shop!"

"What are you after?” Gareth asks from his spot on the floor.

“Maps!” Simon shouts back, head buried in the stacks.

“Uh, what’s going on?” Agatha asks me. I shrug, as lost as her. Niamh and Simon continue to argue.

“Where the hell are your maps?”

“This is a queer bookshop, why the fuck would we have maps?”

“Uh, there’s a map book right here.” Shepard says, pulling the right book out from its place. Simon falls upon it and starts flicking through the pages rapidly.

“We need a mining town. We can go over the union’s head, give directly to the people!”

“That’s mad.” Niamh shakes her head.

“It’s brilliant!” Penelope says.

“Just mad enough to work.” Gareth agrees, getting to his feet.

okay, so my question is, once the COTTA posting period is up and I can post the rest freely, should I have a weekly release schedule, or drop all the completed chapters in one go then release whatever is left as i finish it? each chapter is about 1,600 words, btw.

i'll tag everyone who tagged me on sunday, as well as @prettygoododds @imagineacoolusername @ic3-que3n @forabeatofadrum @facewithoutheart @bazzybelle @theearlgreymage @aristocratic-otter @blackberrysummerblog @hushed-chorus @ebbpettier and @youarenevertooold

LADY GAGA TAKES THE STAGE AT U2 CONCERT IN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

In a jaw-dropping surprise performance at The Sphere in Vegas last night, Lady Gaga left the audience in awe as she joined U2 on stage, delivering an unforgettable rendition of some of the iconic U2 hits. To top off the night, Gaga wowed the crowd with her chart-topping sensation, "Shallow." But it wasn't just her vocal prowess that had everyone talking; it was her fashion statement that stole the show.

Known for pushing boundaries and setting trends in the fashion world, Gaga chose a distinctive look for the memorable night. For the occasion, she veered away from Celine, opting instead for a piece from Alexander McQueen's menswear collection.

Gaga donned the Spring/Summer 2021 classic black grain leather biker jacket, a statement piece with a price tag of $4,250. The jacket featured signature snap buttons, hammered stud zipper detailing, and a luxurious quilted red silk lining.

Shop:

Alexander McQueen Classic Biker Jacket ($4,250.00)

Her slim cat-eye black acetate sunglasses are the brand new Terra Cotta by Korean eyewear label Gentle Monster ($320).

Shop:

Gentle Monster "Terra Cotta" Sunglasses ($320.00)

To complement her bold ensemble, Gaga sported her signature sky-high Flamingo-1020 black vinyl platform boots from the exotic footwear brand Pleaser.

WIP Wednesday

Thanks for the tag @hushed-chorus, @martsonmars. and @cutestkilla. I’m loving reading everything you’re posting (and Demi, can we just with the latest chapter of What Remains After the Storm?! Because it was incredible!! Check the fic out if you haven’t already!)

I actually managed to finish writing a scene for part two of ASR this week that’s been bugging me for months. I lost the previous draft in a USB crash back in 2021, so to say it’s a relief to finally have it finished ready to be torn apart in editing is ... maybe relief is the wrong word, but we roll with it.

Here’s a snippet I’ve reworked slightly that I already had written.

“What’s going on?” Aira asked.

Lauren turned to find her staring wide eyed between her and her dad. Right. The last time Aira had been in a situation like this, they’d been running for their lives from an explosion and avalanche, Lauren’s blood freezing in the wind chill.

A floorboard creaked out in the hallway.

“Duck,” Lauren said.

“What?” Aira squeaked.

Lauren swept her arm to the side, using the air to nudge Aira out of the way, before one of her throwing knives was flying through the air. The blade found its mark in the man’s thigh, and as he reeled with the impact Lauren shoved a column of air that sent him tumbling out on to the landing and over the banister. A chorus of shouts rose up from the ground floor.

This second part of ASR is rough!! Like, oh my God I can’t believe how rough it is. It doesn’t flow, the villain motivations and actions are so unclear/dull, it needs some serious work, and hopefully my editor will be able to help with that. You know when you’ve just been staring at a problem for too long and can’t make head nor tail of it anymore? Yeah, that’s where I’m at.

Thank God I have COTTA to bounce back and forth from for the next few months.

You all are writing such interesting things! So many brilliant AUs (my favorite!)

Welp, I'm still on seven WIPs, though I'm on the last chapter of two of them, so there's hope of that dropping soon. Here's a snip from each (except the secret one).

From my WIP where Simon is a Tiktok dancer (among other things):

Snow steps cautiously closer and looks down at the screen of my phone. He’s silent while the video plays, and then gestures for me to play it again. I do. After the second play-through, he steps back. Then he lifts his hands in imitation of the clay character in the video, and lets them flow through the motions the character made. I nod. He’s got the motions down perfectly, even if he’s not got the speed or abrupt pauses. He’ll learn, though. 

From: The Snow Fox (new chapter up tonight!):

“Let the boy go, Redcoat,” I growl. Best not let him know I recognise him. He’s never seen me, as me, before. Though I’ve seen him several times over the last year, from the protection of various disguises. 

Tarleton’s hand twitches towards his pistol, so I jerk my gun at him. “I’d hold still if I were you, Redcoat,” I state casually, as if we two were just having a conversation. “I’ve really got no reason to keep you alive, but if you try for that gun, I’ll definitely have a reason to see you dead.”

From Stars, Flowers, and Children:

 I start by cutting away all the extra length that’s getting in his way. But then I spend a long time with my comb detangling his sun bleached curls and trimming them until he’s got a head full of bouncy sunshine. 

Simon lets me do what I want. In fact, I find that when I finally set down the comb and snips, he’s snoring gently, having fallen asleep as I worked on his hair. So I take a risk and indulge myself by running my hand through his curls, pulling each one straight and then releasing it to coil back against his skull. He sighs in his sleep and I freeze, but all he does is press his head back against my hand and mutter, “Don’t stop, feels good.” 

From Westward Son:

I can’t help but smile at Simon’s machinations. “Got plans, have you?” I tease. 

His eyes glint in the light from the fire I’m still holding. “Do you blame me?”

I snort. “No. I’d almost certainly be plotting along the same lines if it were me waiting.”

From To Heal a Broken Mind

“I am thinking about it,” I admit. “My mind just has the capacity to do both.”

He laughs gently and lifts his arm up from where it’s encircling my rib cage. He brushes my hair out of my eyes and leans forward, letting his lips brush against mine. “I must be doing a shit job if you can think about more than my mouth on your skin right now,” he whispers. 

I shudder. He’s got a point.

From Saving Simon Snow (new chapter this week!)

Simon pulls back so abruptly that I’m dizzy. “Baz,” he says urgently, “do you still hate me?”

It takes me several seconds to recover my wits enough to understand the question. I’m still fighting the urge to pull his gifted mouth and tongue back to my neck when I realise what he’s asked me. 

My mouth opens and closes uselessly for a moment before I sigh. 

“Simon,” I croak, and then pause to clear my throat. “Simon, I never hated you.”

2, 3, 6, 7, 15, 18, 21 💖‼️‼️

HI JULIAN ILY 💖✨

2. Album of the year?

It's not an album from this year, not even close, but Departure Songs by We Lost The Sea. It's one of my favourite albums of all time and one that I come back to very often. It helps ground me when I get too anxious and was a much needed source of comfort for a pretty rough year

3. Favourite musical artist/group you started listening to this year?

I mostly stuck to old favourites for this year so I don't really have a good answer for this one :((( (send me songs you think I'll like!!)

6. Episode of TV or webisode that defined the year for you?

Oof... it's gotta be Moonlight Chicken ep 7. Death, grief, community, support, love, carrying on.

7. Favourite actor of the year?

It's been a year of comfort rewatches for me so once again I'm going with an old favourite that I still stand by - Tatiana Maslany, my queen. In my eyes nobody will ever be able to beat her. If you haven't watched Orphan Black, add it to your list and WATCH IT, even if it's just for her - 90% of the show really is just her so it all works out

15. What's a bad habit you picked up this year?

You and @dribs-and-drabbles have yelled at me about it enough this year (with very good reason, ily you both, thank you for looking out for me 💖) to know that it's my complete disregard for sleep as a concept. I'm hoping to change that this year.

18. A memorable meal this year?

Two highlights!

The first is this espresso panna cotta, shared with my best friend in our favourite restaurant in the town we went to college in as our final meal before she left the country to pursue a PhD. So proud of her, miss her so so much 💖

The second I don't have a picture of, but I learnt how to make tom yum soup (thank you thai qls for the cravings!). Paired with some egg noodles, my ultimate comfort food for this year.

21. What's something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?

There has been a tray with about 8 different balls of yarn that has been a permanent fixture in a corner of my room for the past 2 years now - my temperature blanket from 2021. For some reason, it just seemed never ending and I had almost given up hope on it ever being a completed project. But I finally finished it about a month ago and have moved on to different projects. Now it's a cozy blanket that I can cuddle under (and scream into) while I watch my fav shows

(I typed this out listening to Departure Songs wrapped up in this blanket hehe)
