Summary - James Potter is in love with his flatmate. There. Best to get that out of the way before he is accused of being in denial or drowning in obliviousness.

Happy Belated Birthday, @mabeltothknows 😻 Here's the little surprise gift fic that's no longer a surprise because I gave it away without requiring any sort of persuasion. I love you and your mind entirely too much! Hope this makes your birthday a bit better, even if it's late.

helloooo Mabel!

H: How would you describe your style?

tough to say - I feel like I try on a million different styles depending on how I'm feeling that day! I guess I'd definitely say…verbose though, LOL. I'm well aware of the fact that I take two paragraphs to say something that could take two sentences.

X: A character you enjoy making suffer.

OH GOD. I guess probably Regulus, given that it's sort of in his job description? I don't like doing it, but my characterization of him requires a lot of exposition into trauma and undiagnosed/untreated obsessive compulsive tendencies; so I guess he's the one who ends up getting the short end of the stick, poor boy :/

thank you for sending these!!!!

I adore you so much. December is a lucky little bitch (as are we all). I hope your day is/was/continues to be remarkable.

Eeeee I LOVE YOU, thank you so much for making me laugh whenever I've needed it ❤️❤️❤️ you're amazing and I'm constantly in awe of you.

Oh you cuuuute 🥹🥰 ilyy

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

This question makes me feel like everything I write is too ordinary, but here we go. I always pick something from Ret so here's a tiny interaction from so scarlet it was maroon that I'm fond of:

“Hey, keep your eyes open, Potter,” she whispers harshly, patting at his damp cheek to keep him awake. He groans, pained, but seems to be aware enough to follow her command, hazel eyes blinking open blearily behind smudged lenses. She lets out a heavy breath, almost smiles. “Good. Good, good, keep looking at me, okay?”

“Always. Looking.”

Mabel, my love ❤️❤️ Please let's ignore the fact that I'm replying to this ask two months late because I suck at multi-tasking and focus on how lovely you are!

My fingers have cobwebs because I haven't written in eons, but here we go:

Fav fluff: Fashion Disaster even though it's mostly humour

Fav angst: Can't choose between Of Chrysalism and From the Edge

Fav multichapter: Retribution

word prompt: ORBIT

MABELLLLLL 😎🥰🥰 oooooh that's a difficult one, but I'm up for the challenge!

"The sun, the moon, the stars, everything pales against the pull of your gravity," read Lily Evans rather lifelessly from the parchment in her hands. "I'm all but helpless to forever orbit around your heavenly form."

okay i am SO glad you picked up on that because that is definitely a shift that Lily is having in her head, from: do I want answers? to: I want answers. to: I want answers and I want it to end well so we can move forward and heal.
