Rated M. - 2/6 chapters. - Genre: P with P, Humour.

Tags: Hogwarts 8th-Year, study partners, Enemies to lovers, friendships, medium burn, hormonal teenagers, P with P.

Projected Word Count: currently 11k from ~25k

Summary:

The plan was this: return to Hogwarts, aim for eight O.s, move on with life.

But when McGonagall summons Hermione, her co-head Justin along with the other seven and eighth-year prefects for an extraordinary meeting ahead of term, she just knows the other shoe’s about to drop. And indeed: on the eve of September 1st, Hermione finds herself working to fit Draco Malfoy into her schedule.

Between Ginny (who has her own schemes), Justin (whose actions becomes odder by the day), and Mandy (whom Hermione never thought of as an enemy before), will Hermione manage to retain her sanity, whilst restoring some sense of normality for once— despite Malfoy being around, day in, day out?

Update schedule: pure chaos, but I'm aiming for weekly-ish.

Snippets:

“I must say, Granger, I’m surprised.”

Draco lowered his voice; Hermione edged closer to hear what he had to say.

Tags: Sex Ed, Sex Magic, Sex Toys, Enemies to fuck buddies to lovers, Sex positive!Hermione, Repressed!Draco, post-Hogwarts, EWE.

Projected Word Count: currently 38k from ~50k

Summary:

Because of a lost bet, Draco is forced to visit a Muggle sex shop where he encounters a certain brunette witch, shopping for supplies... When his consequent nights are haunted by several strange and very sexy dreams, Draco finds himself confused and alarmed. What is happening to him? And what is Granger's role in all of this?

Update schedule: Fic is on hiatus. I'm finishing It's Hermione, Thanks and The Seven Year Witch first before I can concentrate on this one again. A couple of future chapters are already written. The plan is, however, to complete the story before posting.

Snippets: [More? Here!]

‘I see you’re about to discover the pleasures of prostate stimulation.’ Granger eyed the butt plug in Draco’s hands approvingly.

Rated M. - 10/11 chapters. - Genre: Summer romance

Tags: canon-compliant, summer story, told from year to year, growing up, slow build, enemies to lovers, love and family, fix-it fic.

(Projected) Word Count: currently 62,5 k from ~75k

Summary:

A boy and a girl have been meeting – coincidentally – for seven summers. While they pretty much hate one another most of the year, for those secret summer moments, they manage to see each other in a different light. But will that be enough to bring them together?

A Dramione story about growing up and changing perspective, told along — and in-between — the lines of canon.

Update schedule: Soon. I know, I know, I've missed several self-imposed deadlines already, but I'm getting there! PTSD is hard, even in a fic that's been generally light-hearted.

Snippets: [more? here!]

‘You have got to be kidding me,’ someone said in an unmistakable sneer.

Like, America has its Disneylands, but the UK, through a sort of symbiotic cancerous fission between tourism and private businesses, has made the objectively far worse decision to turn a large portion of the historic city's most tourism-heavy areas into a sort of distributed Harry Potter Disneyland. I mean, the areas around Trafalgar Square etc have always been a bit of a theme park, but from my perspective it's got a lot worse over the past decade as people try to milk the brand for every last bit of nostalgia appeal, in absence of anything else semi-recent the UK is known for to foreign visitors.

These aren't official Harry Potter attractions, mind. That's why I'll call it slop, because it's all off-brand. You walk the five minutes from Charing Cross towards the West End, and every other shop will be something called "Magyk Emporium" or "Cabinet of Spells", branded with yellow on black text in a slightly-off Harry Potter font, selling a mixture of licensed Harry Potter merchandise, London souvenirs, and achingly mainstream-boring pop-culture merch from other fantasy series (think Game of Thrones merch that would have been tacky 10 years ago).

I cannot overemphasize how numerous these places are, and how utterly identical in form factor. It's like a sort of Harry Potter gothic, in that more seem to show up wherever you turn, all eerily slightly-off like they were generated by a copyright averse AI try to recreate Harry Potter brand materials without ever mentioning it by name. Hell, some of them probably were at this point!

And don't even talk to me about the half of the Kings Cross concourse that has been taken over by the Harry Potter photo-op tumor.

The post you refer to will be gone soon

but

jesus christ West Papua

the entire history of Javanese annexation of West Papua is so beyond fucked. And Indonesian troops are on the reg torturing West Papuan teenagers to death and dumping white phosphorous on civilians who dare point out the sheer fuckery of the "Act of Free Choice."

If not, maybe you have followers who are?

The Gender Census releases all data collected every year so that people can process data about gender-divergent people in their home countries. However, when a country has less than 10 participants we redact the country information for their safety. These countries are all very close to having usable public data!

If you live in one of these countries and your gender is in a blender, please do take our survey. It takes 5-6 minutes, it doesn't collect any identifying information or ask any intrusive/personal questions, and it helps a lot. We have over 38,000 participants so far.
