“I’m A Writer” I Mumble To Myself As I Type “what Defines A War Crime” Into The Google Search

I don't ship Harrymort or tomarry, I just don't really like proships, but if that's your tea, go for it.

What I would like to see more of though is Voldemort realizing Harry's a horcrux so he's just like "Guess I'm a dad now??" And just like, adopts him?

Bonus points if it's around the age of six or seven

SUPER bonus points if there's hurt/comfort w/ happy ending.

Super duper bonus points if Voldy loses his mind against the Dursleys.

god this scene i haven’t written would be so emotional if it came with 50k words of context i also haven’t written

GOOD NEWS: you just discovered magic. BAD NEWS: you specifically just discovered magic, there's nobody more experienced who can explain how to clean up the mess.

the holy grail types of fanfic

Some idiot: "Why are you reading your own fic, that's shallow and stupid"

All fanfic writers and writers everywhere: "Who the fuck do you think I wrote it for?!"

Severus is a like an overprotective girl dad to Harry and I will die on this hill.

Harry: Dad, this is my girlfriend!

Awkward silence ensues.

Snape, looking the girl up and down: What are your intentions with my son?

Girl: Isn't this supposed to be reversed—

Snape: My house, my rules.

Harry: Seriously! She's fine—

Snape: I wasn't taking opinions, now, what are your intentions—

Cut to a very brutal interrogation scene.

Severitus promptish stuffs

Severitus where Harry is deeply hurt/affected by Severus' strict/old-fashioned/etc parenting styles.

Severus is always portrayed as strict, sometimes bordering on straight up abusive, but then because he's better than the Dursleys, readers and authors alike tend to agree that it's okay. (IF THAT'S WHAT YOU LIKE, THAT'S FINE SO LONG AS THERE'S A DISCLAIMER.)

But arguably, most often, his tactics are rather harsh. Maybe he's firm on the whole open door policies, or washing mouths out with soap, I've seen a lot with spanking as well, but there's never any after effect, so make there be one.

Oh, he washed his mouth out with soap? Now he's scared to talk.

Spanked? He doesn't see the difference, frankly I don't either, though, so I don't have much to offer here.

No door policy? He feels watched.

Whatever you decide, there should be a point of realization that this is harmful. However that decided though differs.

Make Harry write an essay about Scary Things, and instead of writing about something normal, he writes about how he's terrified of messing up.

Maybe Severus discovers a diary.

Or, and something that I find worked with their personalities, is a massive fight. Harry messed up, and now Severus is threatening whatever, and Harry loses it. "I want to go back to the Dursleys, because at least I know they're cruel, with you it's a mix up."

It's so angsty, om nom nom nom.

Tw brief mentions of sexual assault.

It makes me mad that Skip Westcott isn't in the movies. Male victims have almost no representation, and the ones we do have are just jokes or not even recognized as assault. He doesn't infantalize victims, he shows it can happen to you and still be normal, which would have been amazing. It's definitely something a lot of kids out there need, especially young boys who are completely left out of the conversation.

Fun fact, AI struggles with writing or creating pathetic, sad, men, or just any man that isn't macho and super masculine, ESPECIALLY pathetic or sad men in straight relationships, so go forth, write your stories with a sad man and some Mafia boss women.

I love fanfic.net, but everyone in the reviews is SO critical. "Great story! However, you used the wrong your, so, I have to report you, call the cops, alert the HOA, and upload this onto twitter."
