From The Bottom Of My Heart: Just Because Something Makes You Uncomfortable Doesn't Mean It Shouldn't

hey ao3 can you like give the extra $38k you made from this month’s funds drive to charity

You made it to the end!

I'm so proud of you!!!!!!!!!¡

I would never have tried without you and I'm so glad we did!

A few months ago, I had a few friends join the femininomenon fest, and I had major fomo. I decided to join it and brought a friend along with me (@kelpforestfire). Tonight I posted my final chapter for my snamione fic for the fest.

It was such a fun experience, and I've already started another fic for the Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest. I've made more fandom friends, beta'd more fics, and just really enjoyed finishing this little fic that allowed me to let my inner scientist nerd-out a bit.

I've had the BEST cheerleaders and betas behind me, and I've really loved the sense of community that this has given me. I've loved all the fics I've read from the fest. It really was an amazing and timely idea.

Here is the link if you want to check it out.

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

me, reading my own incomplete writing : *gasp* and then what happened?

i wish all my mutuals lived close by so i could throw dinner parties

Wow

AWESOME URSULA SHE MADE IT ALL HERSELF

I'm always coming across people saying one of two things about wolfstar 1) It makes no sense and 2) it would be toxic as hell if it ever happened...

All of which makes me wonder what on earth set of books they were reading because from Remus's voice shaking with some suppressed emotion when he sees Sirius for the first time in twelve years, to his voice sounding like every word was causing him pain after Sirius's death we see them be nothing but gentle, respectful and affectionate with each other.

Anyway - I'm currently re-reading Bite and Prejudice which is my wolfstar Jane Austen AU and I just came across this paragraph which, although it is written in flouncy regency language (and was paraphrased from another which was originally about Lizzie and Darcy), sums up exactly why Remus and Sirius work so perfectly together in canon:

He thought too how their dispositions and tempers - though markedly different from the other - would suit each other perfectly and bring out only  the best. How Remus’s tendency to self deprecation, his dry wit and steady temper would deflate the worst of Black’s pride, stick a pin in his self importance and keep his readily admitted propensity to take offence and never give up a grudge in check. Likewise, Black’s ardent nature, his loyalty and tenderness, his capacity for love and his great passion for life would pull Remus out of his own melancholy, make a mockery of his self pity, and make him laugh when he was inclined to be maudlin. Together, Remus thought, they made one very good sort of man. Apart they must always be prey to their own weakness and follies. 

Which just goes to show, whatever universe you put them in, wolfstar will always make sense.

why is trying to make a new friend so embarrassing. hi. me again. asking for your attention once more even though i am literally just some random person to you. it's because i want to be not just a random person to you. please understand

Black water rushing through me.
