#ramables

I saw @eidelvyd and @duplicitywrites post this and decided I wanted to participate as well. I'm only listing unposted WIPs for this (i dont want this list to get too long) but if you want to ask about the others that are posted, go ahead

most of these fics are either tomarry or harrymort in some capacity unless explicitly mentioned.

these are the ones on my "Rabbit Warren" document, aka: the smaller wips i poke at until i have to move them to their own document

Accidental Heir - my Tom/Lily 1980s fic bc i fuckin love this rarepair too much and have read pretty much everything about them posted already

Dungeons and Death Eaters - Harry learns how to be a "proper wizard" from a handful of kids in his neighborhood playing DnD

Just a Blade - twin!harry au, Harry lives in the shadow of his hero brother and catches the attention of Professor Riddle right from the start

Aberration - Obscural-Horcrux harry who is out of control, until Voldemort discovers him [actually a prompt from Penrot that i've saved]

War Ravaged - Post-nuclear war Harry steps back in time and stumbles upon 13 yr old Tom Riddle, and he decides, well, why not tell the boy about the future? Tom Riddle is not impressed with the future.

Love potion soulmate AU - Harry gets expelled his last semester of Hogwarts because he's accused of making amortentia--a potion made illegal by Minister Riddle. Years later, Tom runs into his soulmate who is living in the muggle world.

Timetravel Omegaverse- inspired by a comment and a partial fic i read once: Harry accidentally gets sprung back in time via the diary and meets Tom. He decides they're friends and Tom thinks that having the new Potter heir in his back pocket just might get him past the roadblocks put up in front of him because of his secondary gender

Transplant - Tom's closing up shop at Borgin's shop when a kid flops out of the fireplace and onto the floor. clearly, this is a floo accident.

Eldest Sister Heather Dursley - Tom helps Heather get revenge

Blind Loyalty - Variant of Just a blade, but darker. one or the other of these two WIPs will win out. probably

Single Father of One (1) Flour Child: Hogwarts decides to give the sixth year students a little magically animated doll for six weeks. Harry ends up taking care of his own his own and after the six weeks are up, refuses to give up his little Tommy.

Accidental Father - Tom returns home to England late November first, only to wake up to his wards being interrupted by an unusual delivery: a one year old orphan has been left on his doorstep with a note saying that they're related

Spider boy: Harry grows up with just one friend: Anne, the spider that lives with him in his cupboard.

and then from my actual unposted folder

(he's a) Maneater -- Non-BWL!Harry: he learns his animagus form early from his godfather Sirius and uses it to ...dispose of the sorts of people who make Hogwarts a miserable place. (a Theo/Harry fic, most likely)

Henry and Clover - fem!twin!Harry, left to live with her muggle relatives discovers that she has a family--one who really should have paid better attention to her, even if they didn't give her the love and care they gave to her twin brother (Theo/harry fic)

One Door Open - the Floo system is inexplicably failing and the Ministry decides to ask Former Dark Lord Voldemort to find out why. He agrees, but with the caveat that Harry Potter will be his new jailer. (not a ship fic, for reasons)

Wretched AU - theres so much shit that goes on in this one i honestly couldnt even put it all in a single line. basically its what it says on the tin: Harry has a Wretched time.

You're OK (I'm not OK) - a soulmate au where the marks shared between V and Harry are the lies your soulmate tells

Parental Return - in the graveyard, Harry, somehow, accidentally brings his parents (and cedric) back at the age that they were before they died. Having parents doesn't go exactly as Harry expected it would

Unspeakable Parentage - during the fight at the MoM, two unspeakables come to Harry's aid against Voldemort and later reveal that they are not from this world (tom/lily fic)

dear fucking god i forget how long these lists can be. what am i even doing.

i even omitted any nonHP works (of which there are Several) and even also omitted at least one sequel (EE's wedding fic) and a handful of others that i just dont wanna put on the list.

no wonder i have decision paralysis when i sit down to write lmao

we're doing things a little differently with some hand writing during the week and transcription at the weekends, and so far we're one for one. (yay!)

and even though we're running at the Ultimate Goal, my primary focus is to Finish things. I already went through and made a list of the open WIPs I've posted in order to cycle through them intentionally. i also have unposted WIPs that I'll be working on finishing because I am going to need a Lot of chapters in the end.

posting will likely remain irregular for a while, but yes, I am working on things again. there was a pretty long slump last year, but I'm feeling better these days and aim to take advantage of that for as long as i can.

I'll try to do more frequent updates and snippet posts on here for yall. most likely snippets from when I transcribe things and perhaps ones when i finish a chapter.

at this point the only definitely discontinued things on my Ao3 profile are the ones that are marked that way in the summary. everything else is still up for grabs as far as being worked on and posted.

i havent decided if i'm gonna do a weekly update post or an update as i finish things. if you have a preference, please let me know

did my ao3 wrapped this year. lmao, absolutely forgot how much i posted this year bc its been a while since i could manage to sit down and write anything more than once a week, let alone actually fucking post.

(for the record, 2023's fave fic i wrote was epistolary exchange. i think thats one of my favorite fics over time--and i think my readers agree, since it jumped to 4th place by kudos overall in just a year!)

and one more thing, my most beloved fic (by readers) finally got usurped from its kudo king position this year! force of nature fell to letting it linger, which i suppose just shows that the bnha fandom is pretty bulky these days!
