I was tagged by @tsundanire for this bit o’ fun. I shall preface this by saying I posted only three works last year; the Snupin I wrote for a gift fic exchange back in 2018 kind of zapped my creative juices. So I’ll just be listing those fics here:
(Also, MY NAME IS OLLIEMAYE AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY lol I got a bit long-winded with my notes, so forgive me!)
A Different Kind of Magic [T, 795 words, Hagrid/Flich]
Summary: Being a Squib isn’t easy, but Rubeus shows Argus that you don’t have to have magical powers to work your magic.
Notes: This fic came about as a response to some hate a piece of fanart, depicting a half-naked Hagrid and Filch, in a loving embrace, was getting. People were commenting on it saying “oh, my eyes!” or “I can’t unsee this!” or just straight up “NO”, and it really distressed me. As a bigger person myself, I always notice when people look at me with that slightly disgusted look on their face (it still happens, folkx, even in today’s more body-positive climate). I wanted to take these two characters who aren’t normally viewed through a sensual lens and show that everyone deserves to find, and can find, love and understanding. *steps off my soapbox now*
Love, Reign o’er Me [E, 2583 words, Remus Lupin/Sirius Black]
Summary: After more than a decade separated from one another, Remus has moved into Number Twelve Grimmauld Place with Sirius, and it seems that some sparks don’t die out, no matter how many years have gone by.
Notes: @upthehillart had posted a beautiful piece of Wolfstar art that really inspired me. The way Sirius held onto Remus in the piece, the want and the angst they both portrayed really spoke to me, and I knew I had to write something. Also, I had recently seen a fantastic video on * a website ;) * and needed to put Wolfstar into that scene lol
I Saw Harry Kissing Santa Claus [E, 8879 words, Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy]
Summary: Harry and Draco have a magical Christmas Eve, but Teddy sees something magical, too.
Notes: Sure, it’s a little on-the-nose, but isn’t that what you want from a Christmas fic? This was written for the Pen15 Is Mightier 2019 Gift Fic Exchange. I had also participated in the exchange in 2018, when I wrote my (slightly) infamous Snape/Lupin fic that zapped my creative energy for almost a year. I kind of don’t ship Snape with anyone, but this fic drove me to get past my hangups with Snape and appreciate the complexity of his character. However, this year I got to write for (one of) my OTP(s) and it was a joy to do! Getting to write Harry interacting with little Teddy was also a wonderful experience, too!
If you read all of that, I def owe you a coffee and a cookie XD
It’s been a great year of reigniting my love of writing and learning to love what I write. Here’s hoping 2020 brings more growth for us all!
