Helluva Way to Find You, Wasn't It? (Harry Potter || Sirry) -- Complete

Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Sex Magic. When the only way to find your soulmate is via orgasm, you sometimes gotta ask the tough questions.

Part of the 2022 Soulmate Collection and Sirry Bingo 2022.

Demon in the Details -- Do you think you're clever or something? (Harry Potter || Tomarry) -- Abandoned/Discontinued.

She impatient and I'm complacent (honey) (Harry Potter || Hermione Granger/Lavender Brown) -- Complete

Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Divination Practices. Hermione's soulmark refuses to appear. Lavender Saw hers years before she received it.

Trust the universe, they said (QZGS / The King's Avatar || Sun Xiang/Ye Xiu) -- Complete

Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Telepathic/Empathic Bond. Enemies to Lovers. When Ye Xiu hands over One Autumn Leaf's account card, his fingers brush Sun Xiang's, and immediately, he feels a warmth he'd only ever heard of. Figures that it this is the moment he'd find his soulmate. Fortunately, their glow of First Touch was subtle; but the double 'oh shit' echoing loudly across both their minds is not. Written for the QZGS BB 2025.

One-Shots:

Lilyflour and Other Endearments (Harry Potter || Tomarry) -- Complete

Soulmates, Adult/Similar Age, Magical Bakery, Spells & Enchantments, Fluff and Humor.

I may look calm (but in my head I've killed you three times) (Harry Potter || Tomarrymort) -- Complete

Non-Magical AU, Murder Husbands, Crime Lords, Gang Violence. Draco is sick of these boring dinners where the Death Easters are joined by the Hogwarts professors.

The Volume Inside of this Bus (House) is Astronomical (Harry Potter || Tomarry) -- Complete

Same-Gen, Post-Hogwarts, Established Relationship, Curtain Fic, Slice of Life, Fluff and Humor. Tom is at his wits end. It's not that he can't bring Harry anywhere, it's that he can't bring Harry to the Magical Menagerie.

enter at your own risk (Harry Potter || Tomarrymort) -- Complete

Same-Gen, Established Relationship, Non-Linear Narrative, Introspection. Harry works on coming to terms with the moral dilemma of loving Tom more than he hates Tom's (Voldemort's) career choice.

The Loveliest Crown of Thorns You Ever Did See (Harry Potter || Tomarrymort) -- Complete

Soulmates, Soul Flowers, Seer Harry Potter, Ambiguous/Open Ending. Harry has a begrudging fondness for his soulflowers. The collar of black roses is striking, even if also depressing.

you look so perfect standing (sitting) there (Haikyuu!! || Kenhina)-- Complete

Part of the 2022 Soulmate Collection.

scars (to your beautiful) (Harry Potter || Tomarrymort) -- Complete

Dream-sharing, Ambiguous/Open Ending. Harry's life has always been ruled by how other people see him, and the first and foremost thing anyone sees about Harry Potter is the expansive, jagged scar that mars his face. Except, for the past few years, someone has seen past that. In their shared dreams, Tom or Voldemort or whatever combination he's become sees Harry for exactly who he is.

The Puddlemere United Calendar Fiasco of 2002-03 (Harry Potter || Harry/Fred/George, Perciver) -- Complete

Quidditch, Post-Hogwarts, Established Relationship, Fluff & Humor. Due to a little mix up when they hired a new photographer to shoot the annual team calendar, Puddlemere United's 2003 calendar spread took a more suggestive route this year. And to think, the whole fiasco could have been avoided if Harry, Oliver, and their teammates weren't so very, very competitive. Written for Quidditch Fest 2022

I walk the line (Harry Potter || Sirry) -- Complete

Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Polyjuice Potion, Angst, Ambiguous/Open Ending.

Written for HP Soulmates Fest 2022. Part of my 2022 Soulmate Collection.

At least, not until a fearsome creature arrives, offering him a way to live if Harry's willing to provide the requested compensation. Written for the Restricted Section's 2023 Secret Slytherin.

Redacted Hogwarts Parchmentwork (Harry Potter || Harrymort) -- Complete

Crack Treated Seriously, Dark Comedy. An excerpt from the parchmentwork of Alastor Moody, Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor 1994-95, later discovered and annotated by Professor Severus Snape on 31 October, 1996 as he polished off his second bottle of elven-made wine. Written for the Restricted Section's Blind Blood Best Guess Fest.

twin flames or suns or other things that burn (Star Wars || Anakin Skywalker & Leia Organa) -- Complete

Platonic Soulmates, Introspection, Non-Linear Narrative. That is Anakin and Leia, twin flames, two beings burning brighter than the surfaces of all the suns in the galaxy combined. Their heat is not the gentle, life-giving warmth of his wife or his son. No, theirs is a blinding, suffocating blaze that could snuff out all sentience and sapience in its beautiful destruction.

Bay Trees and Gladiolus (QZGS / The King's Avatar || Sun Xiang/Zhang Jiale) -- Complete

Canon Divergence, Strangers to Lovers, Idiots in Love, Non-Linear Narrative. Zhang Jiale doesn't retire at the end of season 7. He's not sure why he decides to talk to Sun Xiang at Season 8 All-Stars, but he's always . . . been drawn, we'll say, to Suns. It somehow goes way better than you'd think, even if it takes Zhang Jiale too long to realize just how good he's got it. Written for the QZGS Reverse Big Bang 2024 based on this gorgeous art created by kl a.k.a plumii.

odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People saying that Shane has no childhood trauma in contrast to Ilya's obvious abuse and home life is first of all crazy and second of all it is not a competition.

Also people saying stuff like this have probably not had emotionally distant helicopter parents who got so used to managing their kid's life from an early age well into an established and strict system into adulthood and it shows.

Everything from their brunch to Shane resting at his parents' house to the penultimate coming out and emotional talk with Yuna is on her terms. Every. Single. Time. She sets the rules about the interactions, she makes assumptions, she decides when are emotions enough.

She is also his real life manager in his career, I'm not surprised Shane has never learned to set boundaries with his parents.

(Just an aside, but Shane melting down at the dinner table is usually talked about in the terms of Ilya grounding him and calling himself Shane's boyfriend which is the joyous part we need to recognise but the shutdown was caused by Yuna locking in on presenting and rattling off the best plans and contingencies for their future - somewhat understandable - while her son has been crying and apologising TO HER for being who he is like 15 minutes ago)

Polyamory is safe for work. Polyamory is safe for kids. Polyamory is safe for day time tv. Polyamory isn’t more sexual than any other relationship and it can be just as romantic, sweet, and healthy.

Aggressively reblogs.

monsieurclavier

feel like i should add: polyamory can also be as boring as other relationships. v important point. someone’s still gonna have to take out the garbage, someone’s still gonna have to do the dishes, and some unfortunate soul is probably gonna have to do the taxes

Okay, did finally manage to finish my Ye Xiu/Sun Xiang soulmate au ahead of the upcoming crop of big bang (reverse big bang, actually, I think?) fics, so finally posting about it. Fic is rated M, wc is 46k, chapter count is 11/11, and this was originally written for the 2025 QZGS BB 😅 but better late and complete than never finished?

Trust the universe, they said is a Soulmate AU ft. a telepathic/empathic bond after first touching, Su Mucheng attempting patience with these ridiculous boys, and chapter titles trying too hard to be punny. Also some incredible art from my bb partner. Like seriously stunning art of their soulmarks. Check it out (or don't, you do you)!

I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

I give my students a LOT of techniques for starting writing when it feels overwhelming or daunting, but one of them is exactly this: dopamine load BEFOREHAND. It may sound weird to people on tumblr dot com, but a lot of people seriously struggle with executive dysfunction when it comes to writing literally anything, to the extent that it can cause such symptoms as panic, depression, and AI chatbot use.

I usually suggest this technique as a "Reverse Pomodoro." In the original Pomodoro, you work for 25 minutes and then take a break for 5 minutes (the times vary, but that's the essential ratio). People with executive dysfunction often find this insurmountable, and they get even more frustrated, and then the task seems even more difficult. So instead, flip those times.

FIRST, spend 25 minutes doing something energizing and engaging that you like to do. Not scrolling social media passively, not watching tv, not napping. Try something like colouring, doing yoga, running/walking around the block, talking about your favourite tv show with someone in real time, playing with the dog or cat, making and eating a lovely sandwich, hula hooping, something active. Having a little treat absolutely falls in this category!

(on the subject of little treats: refusing yourself food until you do work is for fucking Puritans and you can be kinder to yourself)

Then, after 25 minutes (or however long it takes to eat the sandwich or finish the yoga routine, it doesn't have to be exact), spend 5 minutes writing (or doing whatever you're struggling to start). Most people can coax themselves into doing something they find difficult for five minutes, if they have already filled up the joy/energy/engagement bucket. You can put a timer on for the 5 minutes if you want, or if you find that annoying, just work for as long as you like.

The other key is: don't push yourself to keep going when you're frustrated or tired—that will just reinforce the negative belief that you already have, which tells you that this task is painful to do, and needs to be avoided. If you've commonly had to force yourself to do this kind of task, that's likely part of why you think of it as painful and have trouble starting it now. Also, you should just, at a basic level, try not to put yourself in pain for the sake of productivity. So just do it till the good feelings run out. Then start hula hooping or colouring again for another 25 minutes. When the tank's refilled, try another 5 minutes of work, if you can. Adjust times to taste.

Not every technique works for everyone, but I've seen this one work for many students who are genuinely and seriously disabled by executive dysfunction. And many people find themselves getting more and more excited and engaged in the "difficult" task—because the good feelings from the hula hooping carry over, and because they're suddenly able to do the task without feeling pain, and feel accomplishment without feeling pain.

I also like mixing fun tasks in with the hard tasks. Fun tasks aren't the reward! They're still work! I still get breaks in between!

So, today, one of my terrible awful tasks was scrubbing a piece of the flooded basement floor. Not fun. Drank tea first, and played on Tumblr after.

But another task was researching the history of familial terms - aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, etc. - so I could make a fun post about omegaverse alternatives. I WANTED to do this. I LOVE linguistic research! But I was doing it to answer someone's question, so it was work that was benefiting others. Painted my nails first, made myself an electrolyte drink after.

This teaches your brain that work doesn't HAVE to be terrible! Slowly, my brain is learning to stop dreading things just because they were classified as work, and instead dread only the things that ACTUALLY suck.

(And it doesn't dread them as much, either! Mopping does, in fact, suck. But the downstairs den has been a pit of doom for a half-dozen years, and now that I had to throw a bunch of stuff out, I am REALLY enjoying looking at all the space. There's a little thrill when I start mopping, because I know I'll be able to stare around proudly after. That DID NOT used to happen!)

awhile ago a coworker and i were play arguing whether or not the mystery gang were all romantically a thing/polycule or just really good friends (yknow bored at work things) and knowing my bfs interest in scooby doo i texted him asking him to be the tie breaker and he responded “well it depends which canon youre going off of” and just instantly cold sweat knew i was out of my depth

Bringing back the classic:

kaelio

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice

kaelio

the tag game on this post is so strong

mikkeneko

#a lot of the time this happens because someone in their 40’s got into 1 new thing and threw a fic at it before resuming business as usual#like sorry gang they’re not a youth who’s weirdly into your mom’s shows they’re your mom who played genshin impact

kaelio

I ended up marrying the mutual who put this funny tag on my post . true story.

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

howtokillavampire

but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 accounts and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???

cliff marleau and ilya rozanov are best friends not because they’re teammates or marleau was assigned to look after roz when he first got to the raiders, but because, even though it takes so much alcohol to get him drunk, when ilya gets drunk he can only be described as white girl wasted and marly is the EXACT same way. they are in the mens bathroom in front of the mirror like “is my shirt unbuttoned enough for people to look at my tits?” “yeah man your boobs look GREAT! can you tell me if these jeans look good on my ass i think i saw a girl eying me” “marly your ass looks phenomenal and you can trust me on this as i am a well known ass man” “aw man rozzy you’re making me blush”

marshgnome

they share clothes all of the time, not even really on purpose, they just spend so much time hungover together that things get muddled. this isn't a problem until marley sees shane hollander, wearing his shirt??? obviously he immediately accuses ilya of cheating on him (partying without inviting him to join). shane is visibly devastated, ilya is frantically explaining, and thats how marley is the first person in the nhl to learn about hollanov
