sleepless nights but a beautiful sunrise

Lilys feelings realization pt 3 per @spillthebea comments on pt 2

trust the process but it’s you starting a new wip not knowing where it may take you or how it’s gonna end yet, somehow, every idea that comes to you (often in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep) falls right into place.

the way regulus knew about the dangers of this very clearly a suicidal mission through Kreacher and yet not only did he not back out, he didn't even have any back up plans?? Or some safety measures?? like?? I have no idea what his exact reasons were for betraying Voldemort, to avenge Kreacher or just because he hates the very existence of a hocrux or to protect his family bla bla bla, but either way, he was so offended, and still, no one was forcing him to do this, he went ahead and used the same elf Voldemort tried to kill, in a way, to steal the hocrux all with the intention to get it destroyed and ofc, got himself killed. He didn't need to do any of this but did it anyways?? like why bro.

he had one goal, steal and destroy the hocrux using kreacher. he did all this out of pure spite, 100% a Walburga trait btw, he's literally her son. gosh what an interesting man you are.

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

D'you ever think Sirius and Lily would gang up with each other and take the piss out of James?

I think they did. I think they did it all the time, and were fucking hilarious.

i feel like the first time i went diving into ao3 i couldn’t find, for the love of me, any blackinnon story that resonated with me.

and swear i don’t know what happened but suddenly i have like a ton of tabs open on my browser of stories about those two i want to delve into (i guess i wasn’t looking that hard after all).

the thing is i’m scared to start reading because i don’t want to feel like i might copy someone but worse than that, im scare to find something so good inside that might make me go: yep, never gonna be able to write that good. might just give up now.

does anyone relate to that feeling? 😂

it’s genuinely the reason i don’t ever write any wolfstar or dramione.

i hc walburga disliking the malfoys. the only other family that is socially considered their equals. but she knows how they managed to establish themselves in wizarding society, particularly in regards to money and properties, doing business with dirty muggles.

it wasn’t arranged but there was an understanding that the two families would be brought closer in the form of an union between walburga and abraxas, but she’d rather died before letting that happens.

she does everything in her power to let abraxas know exactly how she feels about him.

in the end, when the blacks and the malfoys finally merged, she felt that narcissa got handed the short end of the stick.

au marlene survives, sirius gets released from azkaban

sirius: i– i thought you were dead, marls *desperately clinging to her*

marlene: is that why you went full ballistic and manage to get yourself locked in azkaban? azkaban, sirius, of all places! *clasping sirius face between her hands*

sirius: you don’t understand, i thought– i thought– i–

marlene: that peter did it?

sirius: what? how? what the hell marls?!

marlene: it pays to know your secrets, sirius. now let’s put padfoot’s nose to good use and find that coward

there's no better feeling when you’re writing and you become aware of the fact that the plot is actually plotting and it's not just a silly idea running around in your head anymore.
