Thanks for tagging me @bookwormforalways​

I’m going to start with published fics but I’m also going to throw a couple of upcoming WIP’s at the end!

We Meet Again | Drarry, Harry Potter

Draco Malfoy cannot believe he is being forced to go to this ridiculous wedding.

Unexpected Consequences | Drarry, Harry Potter

At this point, it was simply out of habit that Harry checked his map, searching for Malfoy.

Walking Disaster | Drarry, Harry Potter

As far as he was concerned, Draco Malfoy had no parents.

The Smokey Corner of the Bar | Drarry, Harry Potter

"Remind me again why I'm getting dragged to this bloody club?" Harry asked while fiddling with the crimson tie that Hermione and Luna had both insisted her wear.

So Close | Newtmas, The Maze Runner

You were the first friend I remember having, do you know that, Newt?

The Lion and the Snake | Drarry, Harry Potter

The first time that Harry ran into him was an accident.

The 12 Days of Drarry | Drarry, Harry Potter

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Princess with sweeping blonde hair and emerald green eyes.

Seasons Change (and so do we) | Drarry, Harry Potter

When the war ended, the battle lines that had once seemed so clear began to fade and with them so too did old prejudices.

The Secret Language of Flowers | Bellarke, The 100

Clarke was barely seventeen, two months from graduating from high school and getting the hell away from Arkadia when she first had her heart broken.

Wanna Take a Walk? | Bellarke, The 100

It was over.

In This Town (don’t we love it now) | Bellarke, The 100

Clarke was doing her best to temper her annoyance as she made her way through town.

Number 6, Arkadia | Bellarke, The 100

“Alright,” Monty said as he and Jasper set down yet another large, brown box on Clarke’s living room floor, “that’s officially the last of them.”

Meet Me at the Mistletoe | Clurphy, The 100

The smell of cinnamon wafting from the oven was John Murphy’s first clue that his snickerdoodles were ready to be taken out of the oven and make their way onto the Santa platter that had been set out for his use.

My True Love Gave to Me | Bellarke, The 100

If Clarke was honest, even when she was a child she had never gotten particularly excited about the holidays.

I Want Your Midnights | Clurphy, The 100

To say that John Murphy was drunk by the time the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve would be an understatement.

A One Time Thing | Bellarke, The 100

Clarke Griffin fucking hated LA.

I Just Want (to be where you are) | Bellarke, The 100

Bellamy and Clarke had been best friends since his freshman year of college.

Now for some upcoming projects. You will see these posted within the next week or two!

A Whirlwind of Color | Harke, The 100

At seven-fifteen on the dot, Harper’s doorbell rang.

Mistakes We Knew We Were Making | Clurphy, The 100

Clarke couldn’t stop her leg from shaking as the timer on her phone ticked away the seconds.

Was It A Fairytale (or your worst nightmare) | Bellarke, The 100

All of the very best stories start with once upon a time.

This was a really fun exercise letting me look back at things I’ve written over the years. I’ve noticed I rarely use dialogue at the beginning favoring action, usually by or involving the narrator. Occasionally I give some background information.

As far s favorites, I think my opener from Seasons Change and Meet me at the Mistletoe are my favorites of the two fandoms posted. But the line from Mistakes We Knew We Were Making is one of my favorites because I feel it immediately lets you know what she is feeling and acts well for setup.

Imma tag a few people!

We only have about 10 days left for the fics for BLM initiative prompting. If you are interested in prompting me or any of our other lovely writers and creators now is the time!

Keep in mind, spending money is not your only option! There are plenty of non-monetary options available as well such as writing letters and signing petitions.

We are so close to making our goal and there is still so much good we can do together! Check out our carrd for more info!

Ships: Harke (Harper x Clarke)

Clarke and Harper are celestial princesses whose job is to usher the seamless transition from day to night. Harper is the princess of the night and Clarke is the princess of day. Clarke has sunlight weaved through her hair and Harper's skin is made of starlight. They are worse than star-crossed lovers as their fates are forever intertwined but always doomed to separate. 

 Despite it all, they manage to fall in love and it’s a love for the ages. They get little time together save for an hour or two each day they can be together as day shifts to night and back. Their love exists in these spaces for eternity.
