Doodles For Chapter 23 Of Of Saints And Sinners!!!

Harry: Hermione? Hermione: Yes? Harry: Do you know how to use a gun? Hermione: Yes, but why are you asking? Harry: I wanna teach the DA how to use a gun...I think guns would be better than a wand in a fight, with them you don't have to waste time to cast a spell...And it'll be pretty ironic, a group of wix that hate muggles being killed/incapacitated by a muggle weapon Hermione: Hermione: That's...Actually that's a pretty good idea. Let's do it!

Part 1?? of my silly doodles of the newest Of Saints and Sinners chapter!!

I wanted to draw waaaay more but got so busy with work 😔 Hopefully, I'll be able to draw the other drawings I planned soon enough!! But because of how busy I am I decided to post what I already had pfff

@morningstarwrites beautiful chapter as always!! And I was surprised at how spicy it got so quickly 😳 Will be covering that in my next doodles 😏

Additional: a dorky gif of Alastor blinking in surprise as I was trying to figure out how to draw that moment pfpf

I think this fandom doesnt appriciate his insanity enough

Someone call rapunzel!!

And tell her to bring a hairbrush..

I can’t imagine how awkward and uncomfortable the first few weeks post-betrayal must have been for Hugo.

Because yeah, in the heat of the moment after being saved, Varian forgives Hugo. But what about after? No matter how much Hugo apologizes and swears he is loyal to him, that’s such a massive tear in trust. Varian can’t possibly fully forgive and trust him again, no one can. Of course, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love him.

So, they’re a couple, their quest is complete, Nuru and Yong are back home, everything is settled, what now?

Hugo needs to find himself. He needs to figure out who he is aside from a thief. He has a family now, but unfortunately this family doesn’t fully trust him. He has a boyfriend now, but they have a long way to go before they can go back to what they were before and grow as a couple.

Varian spends a lot of time with him but he is clearly uncomfortable sometimes. He sizes him up. Questions what he says a lot more. He doesn’t like having Hugo out of his sight but at the same time, doesn’t really want to be around him all the time. He’s still mad and hurt. It’s like when they first met, but much more bitter because of their previous trust. They have a lot of conversations and it doesn’t take too long to build the trust back up, but now that they’re in a relationship it will take awhile to fully figure that out as well. They still have a lot to learn about eachother, especially in this environment that is completely foreign to Hugo yet so familiar to Varian.

It doesn’t help that Quirin and Eugene are both likely very, very hesitant to accept Hugo into their family. Quirin sees too much of Donella, the woman who took his wife away from him, in Hugo. And naturally, he doesn’t feel comfortable with his son dating a thief who betrayed him.

And Eugene sees way too much of Flynn Rider in Hugo. He’s everything he used to be, everything he hates about himself. A shifty, conniving, loner thief who only cares about himself. Of course he’s against the idea of someone like that dating his baby brother. What if their relationship is toxic? What if Hugo betrays Varian again? What if Hugo breaks his heart again? What if Hugo leaves him at the altar like he did?

Lance and the girls may be pretty accepting, but even they don’t fully trust him. Honestly, I think Rapunzel would be the only one to fully trust him and gladly give him a chance. But even she has her suspicions and doubts. She won’t let Varian get hurt on her watch ever again. 

I think the first few months are very scary and lonely for Hugo. He’s in an unfamiliar environment filled with people that it feels like are waiting for him to fail. They aren’t, they’re naturally suspicious, for good reason, which is worse. He feels guilty constantly. He’s scared. Scared Varian will leave him, scared he’ll mess up and return to his old ways, scared he’ll get thrown out without getting to say goodbye, scared Varian will never trust him again, scared he will be thrown into the dungeons, scared something will happen and he will get blamed. He’s scared, and he doesn’t know who to go to because it’s his fault, right? And he’s lonely because his and Varian’s relationship is still a little strained and they’re trying to figure things out. He has no friends here and all of Varian’s friends and family don’t like him or trust him. Sure, Lance and the princess are friendly, but he can tell they are hesitant to fully befriend him. Quirin is clearly uncomfortable around him. And Eugene despises him.

I think Rapunzel is the first to fully bond with him after Varian, and she helps him adjust to castle life. Eventually, Eugene bonds with him, and helps him adjust to leaving his old thieving ways behind. And maybe he can bond with Cassandra, who helps him cope with the pain of betraying your close friends. And of course Lance is happy to have a new buddy, and the girls are happy to have a new victim. And Quirin does, eventually, see Hugo as his son.

It’s a rough first month or so, but he gets the hang of it, and bonds with his new family.

Me when the slow burn is slow burning

I refuse to consume any (fan-made) Harry Potter content that doesn’t depict the golden trio as punk ass, rule breaking, anarchy loving freaks. I’m talking bitchin earrings and ripped jeans. Middle fingers straight up to the Ministry.

I want Sirius Black to look at all three of them, and genuinely worry that he’s their biological father. And then when he’s sure that he isn’t, he just decided that he’s gonna adopt them and teach them his ways.

Lily: James, what the fuck are you doing to Harry?! James: Lils, don't worry, everything is gonna be fine! Lily: James, you're holding my fucking baby upside down and trying to put him on a fucking broom. A real fucking broom, not a toy one. Which is dangerous as fuck! Harry: Fuck! Lily: James: Lily: Did he just-? James: Yeah. Lily: Now I understand why people don't swear infront of their babies... James: Okay, but you have to admit Lils, it's funny as fuck that his first word was "Fuck".

Hermione: What's the craziest thing you've ever done as a child? Ron: Once I asked Fred and George to help them with their products...I ended up in St. Mungus. I won't elaborate Ginny: I can confirm that Draco: Well, once I refused to go home for months because one of my father's peacocks somehow got into my bedroom and woke me up by trying to kill me...I told my father it was either me or the peacock and then ran to the floo to Pansy's house and refused to leave until my father agreed to at least put some wards in my bedroom to avoid that happening again Hermione: Ron: Ginny: Harry: Luna: Blaise: Pansy: Yeah, I can confirm that really happened Hermione: Alright, let's just move on... Luna: Well, my thing was that I used my art materials to dye my dad's hair a really bright purple while he was asleep Ginny: I stole one of the brooms and decided to fly by myself...I fell, but I was okay though, only a broken arm. Blaise: I helped my mother out on something...I won't really elaborate, but it was something crazy Pansy: I kidnapped a fucking baby Kappa and thought my parents wouldn't notice Harry: Well, I killed a basilisk and survived to it biting me because of Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix and once I ended up in my Muggle school's roof...Oh, and let's not forget that I killed our DADA professor Hermione: It was self defense, so it doesn't really count, Harry Ron: Yeah, mate Ginny: Don't blame yourself for that, Harry Luna: And I'm pretty sure Gin told me that Ron told her that you told him and Hermione that the old Voldy was possessing your professor Pansy: Blaise: Draco: Draco: Okay, but...Can we focus on the "I killed a basilisk" part? 'Cause that's kinda hot, not gonna lie

Hugo's love language is being fucking annoying, it works on Varian, somehow.

These are sketches inspired by Hugo and Varian's Cosplays made by @kristoffs-lullaby and @tomwaterbabies!
