omg thank you so much, I appreciate it. I love that my blog can be some sort of Regulus haven for Regulus fans.

But yes!!! Definitely!!! Canon Regulus was done so dirty! :( That’s why it’s on us to keep his memory alive, and also revive him a couple 100 times.

3 ships: I’m just going to take this to mean my three most recently read ships:

Theo/Harry (from Forget-Me-Not)

Keith/Shiro (from With a Heart So Wild)

Anders/Hawke (from Red Right Hand)

Last song:

mad woman - Taylor Swift (folklore 😍)

Last movie:

I watched The Hustle a month ago, it was pretty entertaining

Currently reading:

Just finished reading Alexis Hall’s Arden St. Ives series (50sog but m/m and with excellent chemistry, highly enjoyed it) and might pick up Bonds of Brass (sci-fi, m/m, heard it’s really good) next

Currently consuming:

My teacup is empty, but an hour ago it had some earl gray tea

Food I’m craving right now:

Fresh out of the oven bread

Rules: Share your top 10 additional tags on AO3. Works or bookmarks, you choose!

Thanks for the tag, @sitp-recs​ and @queenofthedagger​ ❤

Works on the left, bookmarks on the right! This feels very on brand for me. I like my fluff and romance and I certainly like my time travel and alternate timelines. It looks like I read more angst than I write it and my bookmarks are slightly sexier than my works. I’m surprised crack/humor isn’t higher in my works, but I think this might be because I’m never sure if a fic is humorous enough to tag humor, so I tend to leave it off. 

Thank you for the ask!

9. Who is your favourite character to write?

Oh goodness. This is so tough but given that Skinny Love is entirely from Tonks’s POV, I’m going to say that for this fic, my favourite character to write has been her. (Because I can’t stop myself, I will say that for Truth or Badger, which uses different POVs, I adore writing both Tonks and Snape.)

17. Post the last line you wrote in your WIP

He opened the front door, and the cold night air wrapped around them. 

26. What is the worst writing advice in your opinion?

How long have you got? The two that I’ll pin down just now are: you must write every day, and don’t use adverbs. In short: the worst writing advice is usually anything involving rules about writing. You don’t need to write every day to be a writer. You really don’t. Also: use all the adverbs. Break all the grammar rules. Do whatever you want with the words on the page. Getting tied up in things like adverbs is one of the ways a story gets lost, the flow falters, and the momentum wobbles. Write what you mean, and know that editing and revision are there for a reason. 

Thanks again for the ask!

Rules: Tag 9 people you want to get to know better.

Top 3 ships: (of the moment)

1. Sirius/Harry. I have endless feels about these two.

2. Phryne/Jack. The movie resurrected my love of this ship like a tidal wave.

3. Draco/Harry. I judge myself for it since for years I wasn’t into this ship, but then Cursed Child changed my mind.

Lipstick or Chapstick: Usually neither.

Last Song: Ashley - Halsey

Last Movie: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (very fun! I also rec the tv show)

Last Book: I just finished rereading Eleanor Kos’ Wine and Song series (I liked it even better on the second read)

Last Show: Midsummer Murders S19E5

Three random things that make me happy:

1. Today is the first day that it’s warm enough to walk outside in a tshirt.

2. My succulents are still growing, undeterred by the fact that I have no idea if I’m over-watering them or under-watering them. (There is so much conflicting information online.)

3. I’m so grateful that I got to see Cursed Child before the pandemic really hit NYC.

Rules: You can usually tell a lot about a person by the kind of music they listen to! Put your music on shuffle and list the first 10 songs, then tag 10 people. No skipping!
