Me

I’ve backslided into Harry Potter again, and now I really want to write the fic where Vernon and Petunia actually try and do right raising their biracial magical nephew, but they still fucking hate magic.

Because just how much would’ve changed if he had a decent upbringing? How much would’ve changed if he had Vernon and Petunia on his side as loving adoptive parents rather than abusive assholes? Harry who grew up in a loving home. Harry who grew up with Dudley as a brother. Harry who spent weekends helping Petunia in the garden or being a happy kid. Harry who fights Voldemort and his Death Eaters not for prophecy, but because they took lives and they robbed his parents and his adoptive parents chances for reconciliation.

Because:

Petunia looks at the baby, reads the letter, rages and rages, and rages.

Petunia buries the Potters alone. But comes back days later to lay flowers only to find a fucking monument built for them. No-one came to bury them, but came to glorify them.

Petunia looks at Harry, who even at one, looks more like his father, but he has Lily’s eyes, and they look at her like an accusation. Petunia looks at Harry again and all she can feel is anger. Is rage. Is despair. Because she was robbed of magic at an early age. She was robbed of any limelight by Lily. And now, and now, she’s been robbed of Lily. Of any second chances with Lily because despite everything she loved Lily. And now she’s being asked to care for Lily’s son. Raise him until he can be sent off into battle too to die.

So she looks at Harry, with James tan skin and James messy hair, and Lily’s eyes, calling for his Appa and Amma, looks at this boy that’s been sent to her to fatten up before the slaughter and decides no.

Harry’s skin and hair and eyes will be his own. He will not be anybody’s goddamn saviour, nobody’s warrior, nobody’s soldier, and nobody’s second chance.

Need so o can find again

do u know of any long, completed fleurmione fics?

I do, indeed! On Teenagers And Love by anamatics (a fourth year onwards fic), One Step at a Time by hphglover (post-war), Destination: Love by xyouaremylobsterx (muggle au and told in second person) and Past, Present and Unforeseen by Jackdawess (Shell Cottage onwards au) are all ones I would recommend. Plus, they are all at least 80,000 words, since you wanted a long fic!

Rachel Weisz talking about her persuit of finding a script with ‘two good female parts’ 

Because they are!

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid. 

THIS IS SO DAMN CUTE!
