Eroteme?

Oh Boy Born to Die. This would be a series starting in fourth year going through the rest of the books and potentially an epilogue. Where Draco is a Seer and prophecies the return of Voldemort and death of Harry very publicly in Fourth year and is forced into divination class. Harry being exempt from his end of year exams is then forced to tutor Draco in last years divination where Draco keeps unknowingly predicting the outcomes of the tasks. (Harry’s POV)

Cursed Blood. This is would start at the end of the Third book continuing on through the whole series. Draco gets bit during the events of the end of the third book and is forced to revisit his outlook on life after losing his blood purity. (Multi POV mainly Draco’s)

Heir to the House of Malfoy. This would be a whole series rewrite. Lucius gets sent to Askaban for life after the first Wizarding War and Draco is raised by Narcissa alone. He is a lot more reserved as to not further tarnish the family’s reputation and his first meeting with Harry goes differently causing Harry to be sorted in Slytherin. (Multi POV mainly Harry’s)

Ghost of Astronomy Tower. This would take place after main canon (screw the epilogue). After returning for eighth year Harry finds Draco’s ghost haunting the Astronomy Tower and falls in love with him a little too late. (Harry’s POV)

I like to think that Eddie stands for Edmund. Like his mom was a huge fan of the book Narnia and named him from the book. Eddie keeps her worn annotated copy under his bed and reads it all the time that it’s what opened the door and got him into fantasy.

heyy, roommate here (@gh0sty-exe). i was asked to give a small explanation for The Lonely in tma. Somewhat Spoilers for those interested but The Lonely is the fear of being alone. Not just physically but also mentally or social. So The Lonely can apply to those who are physically isolated or to those who feel disconnected from others. But it manifests in tma as typically a fog that hangs around the victim but we've made a few changes to the manifestations to fit into the Stranger Things universe and this iteration of The Lonely is connected directly to the Upside Down just like the other fears in this au. roommate out 🫡

Will is the most connected to the upside down, he's shaped it and its shaped him. We see Will is constantly alone even when he is surrounded by his friends and family. None of them actually understand him. The closest we've gotten to someone understanding him was Mike, but that was before El came back, before they started dating. Now Mike and Lucas are constantly distracted by their girlfriends, and couldn't care less about the one thing Will still has. D&D.

The way the lonely affects Will

Constently forgotten

Unnoticable intentionally and unintentionally (theoretically could just walk out of a class mid class and have no one notice

Literally sucks the color out of a room. (rooms he is in appear desaturated and most don't notice till he leaves)

He not bound by physical barriers (He can walk through walls sort of like season 1 but actually sucsessful)

Ultimately he could send people to the Upside Down (I don't think this is something he realizes he could do nor would it be something he would do outside of a panic reaction)

So it'd be a bit different from how the fears work in TMA. Rather then the fears being their own seperate thing they would come from the upside down. The more experience or exposure to the upside down the more likely you are to become an Avatar.

We're also looking more around season 3 for the show since that's when the party starts to become more proactive in seeking out the upside down rather than reactive because something has happened to someone. (Joyce noticing the Magnets. Nancy seeking out about the Rats)

I'm just going to list which characters would become Avatars of what Fears. Later I think I'm going to go more in depth for each character and why we picked that fear for them, and how their connections affect them. How they learn about it and how it might change the course of the Story.

How do people balance life and their fandoms?

I have a 7 to 5 job that requires a lot of me mentally. Then I have all of my obligations outside of work and it seems like I don’t have to sit down and work on my fics, or even enjoy the fanspaces they belong to.

It feels like I’m not doing enough. It’s been a year and a half since I posted the first chapter of my work but I only have three chapters out. Then there’s a part of me that’s unhappy with those chapters because writing has never been my forte and they don’t seem to match this beautiful story I have in my head. But I can’t do anything about it because I don’t have anyone that would be able to beta read it for me.

I feel like I’m abandon these boys, but I don’t want to because they do mean so much to me.

I don’t really have anyone that can beta read for me or to run ideas by so I tell my roommate about my hypothetical fic ideas like they are actually finished works. They’ll let me do that if I let them rant about their tragic gay podcasts.

The problem comes from the part where they are started to get into fanfic and want to read the unwritten fanfic I’ve been talking about.
