…. Oh god I finally posted it! 🎉 I was so indecisive about the dream panel: the colors, the nightmares themselves, if I wanted to cut them into smaller separate panels- and if I wanted to include MORE nightmare slots than just 2, or if I should change the layout 😵💫- but I think I’m happy with it, I really do. and happy it’s out of the way. 😅
Part 2 will come soon, definitely won’t take as long as I took to talk about and then post part 1 (again, sorry about that). Also look out for some “behind the scenes” stuff like storyboards and initial sketches in between full posts ❤️
As we are quickly becoming amongst the fastest growing fandoms on Ao3 the idea of having an official page devoted to the written works by our lovely authors seemed like the inevitable next step.
Check out our page for more info and posting schedule, and follow us for new updates!
Happy reading!

Had a little Christmas-inspired Sirius Black romp fill my head tonight, and thought I’d share a sneak peek. I hope to have the full piece posted in the next few days. I think I’ll keep it a Tumblr exclusive.
Excerpt contains innuendo and the full work will be hella smutty, because… well… it’s mine. And it’s Gary.
“Do you not take sugar in your tea?”
The voice was quite light and innocent, but it startled you so much you spilled said tea straight through the holes of your wool sweater.
“Fuck!” you hissed. “You scared me, Black.”
He smiled and strode behind you, reaching around your front to grasp a kitchen rag that hung from the lower cupboard handle. He spun you around with hands on your upper arms and promptly began absorbing the spill.
“I scared you?” Sirius mused. “And to think you’re the one breaking and entering and stealing my tea. Which, strangely, you’re sipping black at the moment. Is this because you don’t know where to find the proper accompaniments, or are you simply that odd?”
“Simply that odd, I’m afraid,” you admitted, leaning back against the wooden counter with legs outstretched. “I like it black. Enjoy the flavor.”
This was met with a slightly arched eyebrow, but he recovered quickly and reached around you again to grab his own mug.
“I prefer it quite sweet, and loaded with cream, personally,” Sirius commented, voice still maddeningly silky and light. It tickled over your eardrums like a melody. His tongue snaked out as he tilted the mug to his lips and slurped.
“Don’t you Blacks have to attend some finishing school before you’re sent to Hogwarts?” you teased him. “Don’t they teach you not to slurp there?”
Sirius didn't miss a beat. “You’ll find I’m a bit of a dog, darling. I’m rather noisy and messy with my mouth.”
That rush of heat filled your cheeks again, and you found yourself trembling a little with adrenaline at how quickly things had escalated. Or did they? The conversation was quite innocent, on a service level. Perhaps your building desire for him had you reading things that weren’t there…
So I was told I could post about this, and I kinda want to document what happens (if anything) should I get into a clinical trial for T1 treatment, because if it works…
A friend of mine works for a clinical research center and one night when we were hanging out she started asking me in-depth questions about my t1 history. When I asked why, she said they were starting phase 2 of a trial for an oral medication. I said I’d be interested, send me the info and paperwork so I can read the details for myself. When she did, I was flabbergasted - this medication, if it works, aims to suppress the menin protein that keeps beta cells from producing insulin in T1s. If it works, my beta cells could start producing again, and healthy cells could form and multiply.
IF IT WORKS, I could be making my OWN insulin again.
I cried when I read this. I’ve been diabetic for five years now and it’s become my normal, but for one moment I thought of all the things that could change, even if it only works a little. I thought of my poor husband, who’s had to wake up with me in the middle of the night and help me so I don’t die, and how scared he’s been on several occasions when I was close.
I AM being cautious - I know not to expect anything if I get in, especially if I get the placebo (a 33% chance in this case). But just the concept, and the fact that it’s gotten this far into clinical trials, gives me hope. That at least if this doesn’t entirely work, maybe we’re on the right track. Maybe there will be a day in our lifetimes where type one doesn’t have to entirely consume our lives, or is even curable.
Anyway I wanted to let you all know what is going on, and I’d be happy to keep updating if I get in - I’ll know in a week if I qualify and have to go back for an additional screening. If you live near a research center yourself, maybe see if they’re conducting this trial. I am by no means a scientist, but I’m also happy to answer any questions here or in dm!
I’m late on posting this. I meant to post way earlier today.
But, here is Anne and Gilbert being scandalously in love with each other. All when it started with Gilbert pulling Annes’s hair and calling her Carrots, to Anne searching across the country to find her beloved Gilbert when he went missing in the war. With a little bit in between. I bet Anne didn’t see herself not only falling in with the boy who called her Carrots, but looking for him when he went missing. That’s true love right there.

Favourite "K-12" music video:
My favourite "K-12" music video is "Class Fight". I don't know why i love it so much, i just do. I love the part where Crybaby chokes Kelly with her long hair. It's my favourite. I also love the part where Kelly throws a paper to Crybaby saying "You at recess 🪦😵". It reminds of that one time one of my classmates made fun of me for my teeth and wrote "Tooth gapped btch" on a paper and threw it to me and then started laughing, which surprisingly happens on the "Wheels On The Bus" music video where Kelly throws a paper to Crybaby with the same words when they're on the bus. This is why it's my favourite "K-12" music video. It reminds me of my childhood. 🪦😵💞💕
