Sorry for the wait on this one, Anon! Assuming you don't mean their handwriting styles, here's what we came up with.

Alice: Comic Sans (the Canva equivalent). Bubbly and friendly but mocked for being basic, despite being an accessible dyslexia-friendly font.

Flo: Freestyle script. Fun and easy-going, pretty without being too complicated.

Frank: Times New Roman. Classic, strong, dependable. The standard that never fails, and looks great in a suit.

James: Showcard gothic. Bold. Strong. Upside down triangle shaped. Approachable.

Sev: Onyx. Two sides to him, duplicitous. Narrow(-minded).

Sirius: Poor Richard. An attractive font, but perhaps one written with restraint. Classic and stately.

Remus: Limbo. It's artsy but a little messy and probably doesn't drink water, either.

Mary: Lot. Aside from the fact that she's A Lot, it's bold and strong, fun and in your face.

Lily: Lovelo. Organized, neat, direct.

Bellatrix: Shadow Script. Chaos, a little spiky, but still very pretty.

Hard to believe we're 150k words in already! Buckle up, this week is exceptionally smutty. (I may have sort of been dropping all of those drabbles in preparation for what lies ahead. :D)

Chapter 22, a Valentine's Day Chapter!, coming ~7 AM EST Feb 14!

How do we pronounce Sisi and Bebe?

I'm a little confused about Grimmauld Place vs. The Hall. Who owns what and where does everyone live, and where did everyone grow up?

How do you possibly manage to write a fic this length and this cohesive with a partner? Like what's your actual method for writing it? Do you alternate chapters? Do you each write certain characters? Did you plan the whole thing out and then execute it or did you keep each other guessing throughout? I'm so intrigued!

Also, I think you might just be the nicest person I've seen on Tumblr. You're so supportive of everyone's creations and I think it's just lovely.

Hi! Lovely seeing you here! You can always me questions, I love them!!

Sisi and Bebe rhyme, and they're long Es, so "See-see" and "Bee-bee".

Grimmauld Place is where Sirius and Bellatrix live. It's owned by the Black family, but most of them reside in the Hall. It's based off of the real Haddon Hall, but Arcturus rules the roost there and is where Regulus and Narcissa live and are privately educated. Think of it like: Grimmauld is the city house, while the Hall is the country estate and the seat of power. It's enormous!

As for the creation of the fic, it sort of just fell together. Fantismal and I have similar enough writing styles that we were able to mesh well, which IS NOT always the case, lol! (You can still usually tell which narrative bits are mine by the em dash abuse, run-on sentences, and alliteration.)

We started with the premise: how do they get each other's numbers? What compels them to keep communicating? What would be interesting to read?

We had broad ideas in mind: Remus loses his phone, Sirius finds it, they start texting. James comes into Remus's life after being separated from Sirius's. Remus and James become friends. Remus and Sirius meet (somehow), and the rest can be spoilers, lol.

Starting in June 2021, we wrote a lot over discord and then in a shared Google doc. We split up the characters to give a balance to conversations, and a lot of the actual smaller scenes in a chapter were off the cuff. We knew where we WANTED to get to for that chunk, but wouldn't plan out the minutiae of the conversations. This mostly bit us in the arse for Flo & Mary chats (absolute chaos) and me with Bellatrix, because no one tells Bellatrix Black what to do.

The narratives were written by the "owner" of the character, but the action beats and dialogue of other characters were done by their owners. So the Halloween scene, while in Lily's POV, had dialogue for James, Alice, Frank, Flo, and Sev written by Fanti.

I've never written something this large before, let alone with someone! We got stuck a few times with plot points and would rework them and do "what if?" scenarios that get dropped on the Discord Server (18+) every so often, until it felt right. It was an amazing journey, and we never thought it would take off this successfully or fast.

(Spicy 18+ excerpt today ;))

Padfoot knew exactly what he was fucking doing, he had to, had to know what this was doing to him, the sublime, horrible, beautiful, disastrous thing that was happening to Remus. It had been less than five minutes and he was sweating and panting like he'd been teased for hours, but he was getting used to it, the weird shave and a haircut, five bob pattern, in the way one gets used to a massage chair or a hot towel on the face: too much, too pleasurable, and then just nice. Good. And then he came. It took him completely by surprise. The rhythmic beat suddenly turned into a solid, long, powerful vibration that he would swear he felt in his fucking teeth. His entire body tensed, drawn tight like a coil, curved in on itself and his orgasm hit him (literally, hit him in the chest) like a sack of bricks, and about as disorienting. His vision whited out and Remus choked on his breath, gasping for more air as he came because he couldn't catch his breath, couldn't think, couldn't even reach out his hand to stop the thick ropes from sinking into the carpet. "Oh fuck," he wheezed, his body twitching and starting to hurt when the buzzing didn't let up. He liked the oversensitivity, normally, if it was someone actually fucking him, but this was absolutely too much.

Chapter 30 is coming ~7 AM EST March 2nd!

You're not far off! Here's our faceclaim for Flo. :)

A very special bonus chapter (one of three!) to assist with our posting schedule~

"Hmm, one piece or two? Crotchless? What even is appropriate dress for a threesome!?" [Flo] twisted to look over her shoulder at Mary, her mouth dropping open. "Ohmigod, you have to wear that backless robe! With the lace? Your bum is popping, and he felt that pressed all up on his big shoulders!" Mary held up the robe in question and smiled slowly. It was quite the piece, demure in the front with a show-stopping cut-out in the back. "Yeah, I'll do this one and- oh! Yes, that pink one there, with the feathers!" Mary stripped down to her knickers and bra and, after a moment's consideration, tossed those as well. They'd ruin the effect of her robe, and it's not like she'd be wearing either for long, anyway. "Ugh, Flora, it was so hard to be good while I was up there!" she pouted as she slid the robe on. Mary looked at herself in the mirror, turning this way and that, shamelessly admiring her own body. She worked hard for her physique, and had come to love her wide hips and thicker waist, layered with firm muscle from teaching yoga. Yeah, she looked good. "Lily did say she was good with this. I wasn't just bluffing so he'd say yes." Mary wasn't sure why she needed to reiterate that fact to Flo, but again, Mary was determined to not feel any annoying guilt about tonight! Lily had had plenty of chances! Hundreds, really. It was her loss. Remus might be scared off by the unspoken code of not going after someone your mate fancied, but if your mate wasn't being up front about it and refused to even entertain the idea...all bets were off!
