feeling called out today

Stop this is so perfect
i have this headcanon (that’s literally my roman empire rn) that harry ron and hermione have a way of instantly calming each other down if one of them is panicking
harry’s the center cus he’s.. got the most issues let’s be honest
but they have a secret hand gesture that they make to the other two when panicking, putting their hand on their chest and rubbing in circles (please in sign)
ron will slide behind harry and wrap his arms around his waist, and hermione will come to his front and bury her head in his neck, and everything else won’t matter anymore
it’s something about ron holding him and hermiones hair being in his face, her scent enveloping his senses and he just feels.. safe. like nothing else matters
his two people are here and everything is going to be okay
Amen
u cannot convince me that ron weasley isn’t a mother hen. because while hermione is a child prodigy, she’s breaking laws and committing war crimes half the time when it benefits her. and harry ‘i’m the Chosen One’ potter attracts danger like a flame would a moth.
so while they’re a duo of danger, there’s ron.
who grew up with siblings and spent a lot of his childhood making sure ginny didn’t get hurt playing in the mud.
who’s as nervous as Molly when Charlie works with the Dragons, and panics when Bill gets attacked by the werewolf.
who steals specific concoctions from the twins when they try to prank Percy because it could possibly harm him.
who wraps harry’s wounds when he gets hurt and is too tired to see madam pomphrey. who helps hermione understand why killing Rita in the jar wouldn’t help in the long run.
Ron Weasley, the worrier and moral compass of the Golden Trio. he doesn’t believe how many times he saved the wizardry world by simply being himself. and everyone at hogwarts but him can see it.
Dumbledore thinks about recent events. (It’s a little too familiar to him)
These are not time travel to the 1940s. I have another post for that. These are mostly Harry has a do-over/second chance at life.
✨ Do it Over / 51k / A depressed postwar Harry has taken
Death's hand, reunited with the horcrux he mourned, and traveled into his own past.
Now he wakes up on the morning of his eleventh birthday, ready to do things differently this time. He has no grand plans, just the instinct to be close to the man whose soul he shares.
✨ way down we go / 18k / Harry Potter discovers truths about Tom Riddle and Albus Dumbledore’s past, and he decides to enlist Ron and Hermione's help in travelling back in time to the 1930s and fixing what was broken before Tom can become the infamous Dark Lord.
But once he goes back in time, he can never return.
✨ The Darkening of Your Soul / 260k / Harry is betrayed. Harry gets a second chance to do it all over again.
There is just one catch. If Harry gets to keep his memories from his previous life, so does Voldemort.
✨ The only sound is the overflow / 53k / It was his second time dying. And soon after, it was his second time coming back to life.
Somehow, he was still alive.
And he was living his life all over again
✨ Harry Potter and the Greatest Show / 177k / The last real thing Harry remembers is standing across from Voldemort and watching the killing curse fly at his face.
Then he visited a fluffy white limbo that somewhat resembles King Cross Station and instead of choosing to move on or go back he does something else entirely.
And wakes up in his cupboard on the morning of Dudley's eleventh birthday.
Because that makes sense.
(No. No it doesn't.)
But Harry is going to roll with it anyway.
✨ Tip of Your Tongue / 78k / Getting grabbed around the ankle at the last second by a screaming Uncle Vernon? Not great.
Kicking Vernon in the face while Fred shouted, "Floor it!", thus resulting in the Dursley patriarch falling out a window?
Genuinely a top 10 moment in Harry's life.
After dying and being thrown back into his 11 year-old body with limited access to his memories from his past life, Harry's had to get by with only his ever-present sense of deja-vu to keep him from making the same choices (and mistakes) as he did before. But now that he's more connected than ever with his sixth-sense, the barriers that kept his past from him are breaking down. Dreams and visions are bombarding him more frequently, and just in time. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and as his deja-vu brain keeps saying, "It's not happening like it did last time.
✨ A Change of Fate / 183k / In which soulmates exist and Harry
Potter takes control of his own destiny, and Tom Riddle gets a chance he doesn't deserve.
Soulmates Time Travel AU that starts off in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when Harry is at the white train station).
Or, in which Death hated the Epilogue and gives Harry a chance to claim his soulmate and fix this shit.
✨ Resurrect The Living / 100k / Circumstance makes Harry an offer he can't refuse.
"I can get you the Elixir of Life," Harry says. "But I need your help with something else."
"You," says Voldemort, cautious now, wary now that this confrontation hasn't gone at all like he expects, a little incredulous, "need Lord Voldemort to help you?"
Harry looks right past him for a second, jaw tense. "Yeah. You're the only one who can, apparently."
✨ Tom Riddle and the Quest for Vulnerability / 15k /
They found him in an old house, under the stairs. His face was pale and instantly recognisable.
aka
Auror Harry Potter has eighteen-year-old Tom Riddle bent over the table barely a day after he becomes his ward.
THE bottom Tom Riddle fic. SO SO HOT
✨ In Your Soul is Sealed a Pleasure / 22k / “So confident,” Voldemort murmured, “to be waiting here alone, this late at night.” He let a little menace seep into his tone.
The man merely smiled in return, cocky. “Oh, is this a bad area?” he said. “I hadn’t realised, what with the lack of streetlights and the not-so-distant screams. Silly me.”
***
Harry’s been sent back in time, but he’s still not worked out what it is about this specific moment that gives him the best chance to change things for the better. All he’s managed to do so far is talk to an oddly intense man in an alley and try not to get mugged.
The characterization is amazing, both Harry and Voldemort. They’re ridiculously hot and powerful, and it shows. Loved how obsessed Voldemort was with Harry.
✨A moment of your time / 10k / “I think... it’s best if you go home,” Minister Potter says softly. Tom hears the threat underneath, gentled by the man’s compassion and empathy. Go home, it says. Leave this be.
Tom feels sixteen again, discontent and disregarded. He hates it. He won’t stand for it. “And if I refuse to?” Refuses this refusal of his person. This denial of what lies between them, the mystery of those unreadable eyes, the hum of danger that dances over Tom’s skin like pinpricks of static. He has waited too long for this opportunity to slip away from him.
Hooooot
✨ A matter of Perspective / 6k / Potter shakes his head before Tom is even done talking. “I... Look, I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this. I can’t have sex with you. It’s... physically impossible.”
Tom frowns. “Physically impossible? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means exactly what I said. I can’t have sex with you. Or anyone, really. It just doesn’t work. Don’t look at me like that, it’s the truth!”
Tom curls his lips. “Fine, if you don’t want to help me through my heat, then I suppose I’ll be gone for a while. We’ll just have to hope that the ministry won’t fall apart in the meantime.”
✨ Prizefighter / 11k / Dolohov can predict his tastes now.
Marvolo eyes up the caged, muzzled street-mongrel in his basement. Dolohov's men have done a number on him, sure, and he looks battered. But Marvolo can spot a fighter when he sees one.
And those green eyes.
"Twelve Galleons." He makes his bid. "Put him in the rings."
✨ as long as you come home to me / 5k /
What Tom Riddle and Harry Potter have is not a relationship. It is an arrangement, one where Tom comes and goes as he pleases and takes whatever he wants. Harry seems to understand without being told what to do. He sends expensive gifts to Tom’s flat: endless sweets, luxurious clothes, and rare magical baubles.
Tom provides in return. He provides a shoulder to cry on and a hole to fuck.
✨ Karma’s a bitch / 4k / Tom betrays Harry. Harry’s not happy about it.
✨ Cane Sugar / 14k
Euphoria, invincibility, power — there’s nothing quite like the rush Tom gets when he’s high on cocaine. Nothing, perhaps, except for being with Harry, who also happens to be his dealer.
“Have you ever had one of your clients suck you off, Harry?”
Breath came in shallow bursts as Tom pulled Harry's pants down to mid-thigh. Harry shook his head, his cock springing free just as Tom ran his fingers down the length. When he opened his eyes, he was looking up at the ceiling. “No one’s had the nerve to offer.”
“They mustn’t have wanted it enough.” Tom’s hand was wrapped around his cock, and Harry could feel his breath against the tip, fanning over in soft, quick huffs. Harry’s hand tightened in his hair.
✨ Hit ‘N Run / 17k / His eyes skated over the crisp lines of the stranger's bespoke robes- decidedly fancy evening wear to be clubbing in- and the large black stone set into an ugly gold ring on his middle finger. No other bands- perhaps he was unmarried, or looking to hide it.
Completely sugar-daddy material. Rich, hot and interested.
Harry threw back his drink and leaned towards the other man.
Seventeen was a ripe age for mistakes.
✨ Quid Pro Quo / 3k / Tom is a billionaire financier and buys an entire football club for the sole purpose of signing Harry Potter—the best up-and-coming striker in the British Premier League—to his team. After all, Harry has been the singular focus of Tom’s obsession for the past 20 years.
Creepy stalker Tom, we love to see it
JESUS
Marauders fandom!! You have been summoned. Look! It’s a James! Feast thine eyes! (I’m sorry, do what you want. I’m not the boss of you. Have a nice day.)
Preach
It's interesting how it's more acceptable to be an "evil" character with redeeming qualities than a "good" character with flaws. Both are morally gray, so what's the difference? Aesthetic?
(Ex: Draco vs. Ron, Regulus vs. Snape, Narcissa vs. Molly)
