I just revisited and did some good editing on my StarPrince Marauders Witch Hat Atelier AU ✨

It’s been over a year since I published it and girl, it was actually so meaningful for me to go back and find things to be proud of and things to improve (and I’m sure I’ll feel the same way a year from now haha). I often feel like the skill to tell a shorter story eludes me, that I can never end the work… nevertheless, I think I did a good job with this one and with the editing the flow has improved. I’m proud of it!

I love Severus and I love Sirius (and all of the ensemble cast really), and I think one of the greatest things we can achieve as writers (be it in fandom or original works) is to love and be delighted by the characters we’re bringing to life. To read your own words and find yourself captivated ♥️ I think social media has tainted a little of my individual experience with my own creation, so it was good to be reminded of this feeling! Low stats don’t mean it’s bad! Seems silly, but go tell that to the voice inside of my head, no one hates me more than her 😩 anywhooo

With the new revision Salt and Snow sits at 12k words!

ships: sirius/severus, lily/bellatrix, narcissa/james

Every year eager apprentices and their renowned masters gather at the Hogsmeade Yuletide Fair in order to showcase their advancements to the people of the land.

So, it should come to no one’s surprise—really—that one Sirius Black would find this to be the perfect opportunity to test out his latest creation. Nor should any person be astounded—at all—that Severus Snape, by consequence, ends up having a terrible day.

Or does he?
