Fanart for “The Neverending Road” by @laventadorn

This fic is pretty old at this point but I reread it so often. Poor Sev just wants to keep Harriet alive but she’s got swords to steal and basilisks to slay. Alternate tittle: “Albus, come get your goddamn bird”.
“Sir?” Harry asked curiously. “D-did I do somethin’?”
For some reason Snape’s lips twitched in to what Harry has decided is his version of a smile.
“I am sure you have,” he said lightly. “But since I have not caught you yet we will instead discuss your summer plans.”

Set at the start of book five. The ever-busy Dumbledore is a little delayed in sending that howler to Petunia, and so when Vernon insists that Harry needs to leave the house as he’s clearly a danger to the family, Harry is packed and down the road with no protest, causing the blood wards to break. The Dursleys instantly become a vulnerable target for Death Eaters, and Harry himself is snatched by a Death Eater, but it’s Severus Snape and this is coming from a Severitus writer so you’ve likely already figured out where all of this is going.
Summary: On Harry’s eleventh birthday, Snape is sent to retrieve him from the Dursleys.

“Mum….?”
This is the piece that got me teary eyed. Snape has been put in timeout by my muses for his crimes against my emotions.
Have a close up of these two cause I’m proud as all hell of Snape’s eyes. -chef’s kiss- 👌
AKA Snape has no idea how to be kind to himself (luckily there are others in his life who do).
Content/warnings: Snape lives AU, Severitus vibes, trauma, nightmares, eating/food, scar mention, negative self talk
I watched Enola Holmes 2 and thought: this is just Holmesbury fanservice that’s a distraction from the plot. I mean I like it, but still.
But on further reflection, it’s thematically significant. Enola is specifically told by her mother not to be too independent. This isn’t just so that Enola can get a boyfriend. Working together is the whole point of the movie. In the end, it doesn’t even matter that Enola solved the mystery because the papers get burnt anyway. But the matchstick girls are able to band together and go on strike to change conditions at the factory. They don’t need Lord Tewksbury to speak for them. They speak for themselves.
And Enola doesn’t need Tewksbury, but she needed her brother and her mother to get her out of prison. And Tewksbury did tell them some theatre trivia and fought for Enola, even if all that effort came to nought. Because even if you can’t accomplish what you set out to do, it’s nicer along to way if you have people helping you fight. And Tewksbury was able to get McIntyre arrested somehow.
Yeah, I don’t quite understand all the nuances of the plot, but the Holmesbury was good, Enola got to bond with her mother and brother, and Sherlock got a flatmate.
I’ve never gotten so many notes in such a short amount of time. For once I’m on trend.
Hey everyone. So, I wanted to make a post about something I've seen in AO3 comments recently and I wanted to let y'all know so you can be careful.
Today, on two separate fics of mine, I got comments from guests with different names that had what looks like a key smash followed by a weird link. They looked like this:
[image ID: two emails from the website AO3. Both show comments from anonymous users with feminine names that show what looks like a key smash followed by a link. The second link says it’s from tinyurl while the first does not appear to be from anywhere specifically.]
Now, it is possible that these are legit comments and these links lead to nothing bad. But, in my experience, this looks like a classic phishing scam or a link to a virus. Honestly, I never open links I see online unless I know for sure I can trust the source. And even then I'm a bit hesitant, since I know that accounts can be hacked. I actually deleted the first email and comment immediately and didn't really think about it again. However, after getting another comment that was almost identical but from a guest with a different name, it makes me think that this might be something bad.
So, if you see these kinds of comments, unless you know exactly who sent it, I'd recommend just deleting them and not clicking on the links. Honestly, even if you know who sent it, I'd still be careful just in case they got hacked. If someone wanted to send you a legit link, they would probably do it with some kind of comment beforehand saying what the link actually leads to. This seems to me like they're trying to prey off curiosity and it can lead to some nasty stuff. Since I know some AO3 writers and readers follow me, I thought I'd post about it here. Similarly, if you see a comment like this on someone's fic, maybe don't click on it either. Again, I can't guarantee this is anything bad, since I definitely did not click on the links, but it's better to be safe than sorry. If y'all could reblog this to spread the word, I'd appreciate it.
Anyway, be careful out there guys! I got burned a few too many times as a kid, so I'm extra careful with links and things now, ha.
EDIT: Apparently, these links are indeed malicious. I checked them in an online link checker, and it detected one malicious source from the link in the second message, but 12 malicious sources in the link from the first message. So, it's pretty clearly a virus or phishing scam. Please be aware!
Hola!! Barging in to rant about Hotch, as usual. Today's fixation: his hair.
One thing about our TG, he's gonna serve dark haired goodness effortlessly. 🤤it's dark, shiny and thick, hmm imagine running your hands through it😻
let's take it further shall we, let's talk about the hair on his arms and the top of his hands🤤🤤lord knows how (and why?) it brings me a warm sense of comfort (is it comfort or is something else chile😉), we once even got a glimpse of his armpit hairs😭 even THAT did something to me, this is neither ok nor normal, but we take it in stride, all things go for our fictional man😻
LASTLY, we have the brief moment he had a beard, me personally- i dreaded that episode because i knew what it would do to me😭😭after that it was official, i was a goner, hopelessly obsessed 🤩😫
i could sit and talk (thirst) about this man all day whewww LORD
First and foremost I just wanna say that your asks are phenomenal and I HIGHLY adore you💕
Completed!!

Rating: T (currently, and probably won’t go much past that) Friends to Lovers
Synopsis: You’ve been friends with Mando for years, and he drops by your hole in the wall bar from time to time to catch up. This time, however, he’s carrying an extra little green passenger with him. They are on the run, which is unsettling because Mando doesn’t run from things. Things run from him. A tracking fob, a dead body, and a confession later, all three of you set out to help the child find it’s kind. (Aka: a really typical Din x Force Sensitive reader plot, but instead of the going from stiff scary Mando to friendly Mando it’s gonna kinda go the opposite way. Not in a bad way but she’s gonna finally get to see what exactly he was running from all those times he came back to see her.)

One think I love about the Enola Holmes movies is how they link the plot to real life events of the Victorian era such as the Reform Acts, the matchmakers strike, Women’s vote…
Idk if it’s because I’m a little history nerd but truly it makes the movies 100x more precious to me
