Additionally, readers began to ask me if the poems were “true,” by which they meant, “Did they really happen?” which seemed both beside the point and also intrusive. I realized that if they thought poems were biographically accurate, then they could walk away, knowing I was just a sad little man.

The Doubling of Self: An Interview with Richard Siken

After the war Minerva becomes Hogwarts’ Headmistress and so she had to finally clear out her beloved office and dorm in the Gryffindor Tower for the next Head of Gryffindor. Its been years since she started there and she knows she’ll have to go through a lot of old essays, books, and letters.

It was halfway through her cleaning did she discover a bunch of essay she did when she sat all her 7th year Gryffindor down to ask them what their plans are. The essay was simple, answer the question “where do you see yourself in 10 years?”. It’s a yearly thing she does with her graduating students just so she can keep track of where they’ll be and where she can finds them.

Minerva wasn’t sure which batch this essay belongs to so she was a bit excited to see who’s essay it all belongs to and see if they end up doing what they said they will. With a swish of her wand the papers straightened themselves and she was able to see the first essay on top.

Her heart immediately broke.

Sirius Black

I have no plans 10 years from now but inside those 10 years I want to explore the world. I want to see everything until I get sick of it, I want to be everywhere. I want to buy the stupidest shit things to bring home to my friends and hopefully my brother. 10 years is a long time to fix a broken relationship, right?

Minnie knew the other essay will destroy her but seeing these student’s handwriting would give her so much comfort.

Lily Evans

Quite realistically 10 years is a short time to be something great or historical, I wish to explore what this world can offer to me and show it what i can offer it. I want to prove myself more than just my magical blood. I am a great witch and I wish to prove that to the world. Along with this I hope to raise a family of my own, nurture a home that is full of compassion, kindness, and love.

Remus Lupin

I don’t have any great expectations for my future, if I get a stable job then I’ll be okay. What I hope to see in 10 years is that the family I have with me now are still there with me.

Mary MacDonald

10 years from now I hope the war is over and I am free to be a fashion designer for the muggle world and the wizarding world.

Marlene Mckinnon

I want to be the greatest quidditch player there is. I want little girls to look at me and realize they can do whatever they want, I want to give them hope that there is more to life than boys putting you down. I want to show them that there is strength in trying and there is strength in their femininity. I want to be the voice that I spent my whole childhood looking for.

Peter Pettigrew

I hope I’m braver than I am now, stronger than I am, and finally comfortable in who I am and who I become.

There was no controlling the tears that fell from Minnie’s eyes, she couldnt hole them back anymore. There was 1 more essay and she knew whatever’s inside it will destroy her even more.

James Potter

10 years from now, I hope the war is over and I was able to keep everyone I love safe.

Minnie holds the papers to her chest. She never had children of her own but these kids? These children she never watch grow up? These kids are hers.

reasons.

Listen, I hate that stupid ‘The Proposal’ movie. But I do like the concept of a Dabihawks Proposal Inspired AU… Where half American, half Japanese Keigo is the manager (or something) of Touya’s department.

Now Touya and his co-workers/friends despise Keigo. Not because he is a tough or mean leader or anything. But Keigo is so… fake. And is a goody-two shoes. And is such a huge ass-kisser when it comes to dealing with the head of the company. Touya especially hates Keigo and wants nothing more than the man to be demoted. Or fired.

But then, Keigo gets a call that his father passed away and that he needs to verify the body. An already stressful situation made worse when Keigo learns his father passed away in America. The country Keigo was born in. Which fucking sucks for Keigo because he’s on a work visa in Japan. And no, Keigo’s mother will not go verify the body instead because she is “Hoping it’s not him.”

So Keigo goes, verifies the body, and returns to start packing up his life. He had a good run in Japan but unfortunately for him, all good things must end.

Touya’s friends and Touya celebrate this… until they find out who Keigo’s replacement is going to be. None other than Kai Chisaki, a former acquaintance of theirs that used to bully members of their group, ‘The League’. Worse, everyone knows that Kai isn’t afraid to get physical if he doesn’t get his way.

So, in a desperate attempt to prevent Kai from taking over the office, Touya offers Keigo a deal: Both have things they still need to accomplish in the company. Touya needs Keigo so his friends can stay safe while Keigo needs to stay in Japan. So, Touya offers a temporary marriage with Keigo. Nothing long term, just until they accomplish their goals.

It’s a crazy, insane plan but Keigo’s got no better options. So he agrees. However, they’re not in the clear because Kai, suspicious of this very convenient union, begins hiring private investigators to poke around and see if the engaged couple are truly engaged or not.

And what is Keigo and Touya’s plan to get Kai off their backs? Why, going to Keigo’s father memorial in Hokkaido. The island where Keigo’s mom was born, where she met his dad, and where all of Keigo’s awful family members will be in “mourning”.

What follows then are lots of shenanigans, a bunch of greedy family members asking Keigo for money, a suddenly protective Touya, and a mom who won’t even look her son in the eyes. And what’s revealed to Touya are the reasons why Keigo is such a fake-ass, goody-two shoes, butt-kisser.

Oh… and somehow, throughout all this, Keigo and Touya begin to fall for each other. Actually.

“The first note known to have sounded on earth was an E natural. It was produced some 165 million years ago by a katydid (a kind of cricket) rubbing its wings together, a fact deduced by scientists from the remains of one of these insects, preserved in amber. Consider, too, the love life of the mosquito. When a male mosquito wishes to attract a mate, his wings buzz at a frequency of 600Hz, which is the equivalent of D natural. The normal pitch of the female’s wings is 400Hz, or G natural. Just prior to sex, however, male and female harmonise at 1200Hz, which is, as Michael Spitzer notes in his extraordinary new book, The Musical Human, ‘an ecstatic octave above the male’s D’. ‘Everything we sing’, Spitzer adds, ‘is just a footnote to that.’”
