I write fanfiction. I do cosplay. Welcome to my crazy corner.

So I'm really hoping to find some decent Romione art because I am not a decent drawing artist.

I've looked on redbubble, etsy and Google. Romione art is rare. Dramione is way more popular, which baffles - sure, have your headcanons but does no one actually draw canon?? Shouldn't surprise me, it's rare to find canonical fics either.

I know what I really want but commissioning it is a bit out of budget right now.

I wanna write Remadora again....

So I am....

I'm writing a new story about the first time they meet and it's my favorite kind of story, a hurt/comfort story. I also think Lupin was very intrigued by Tonks from the moment they meet - opposites attract and all!

what do we think so far??

"It's not that big of a deal," she protested. Her pale face said otherwise and both men gave her a look. Then Remus realized he had no idea who she was. "Ah, Moody," he started to say, knowing full well Alastor Moody would never bring someone into the Order headquarters without good reason. "This is Nymphadora Tonks, my partner and protege." Moody sounded proud and worried. "Don't call me Nymphadora." His partner said from the couch, where she had decided the cushions were the most comfortable things in the world and she didn't intend to get up for a very long time.

Wedding Crasher

Author: @eclecticmuses​​, @mrsleopoldfitz​​ Rating: Explicit Chapters: 3/31 Relationships/Characters: Leo Fitz/Jemma Simmons, Will Daniels, Bobbi Morse, Lance Hunter Additional Tags: Alternate Universe, Light Angst, Fluff, Explicit Sexual Content, This Plot Gets Derailed By Smut, Background Huntingbird Summary: Jemma Simmons has her life turned upside-down when, on the day of her wedding, her best friend confesses his love for her. Making a rash decision to run away with him, can she put her life back in order? Can they put their lives back in order, and get past the pain they’ve caused to find happiness in their own right?

Excerpt from Chapter 3:

Jemma couldn’t even imagine doing anything for fun right now, but she appreciated Fitz’s attempt at levity. Maybe it would provide a suitable distraction from the shambles of her mind once they were there.

She followed Fitz downstairs and outside back to his car, unable to keep from looking around as though she’d spy Will’s car, or Bobbi’s, or the rental her parents had. She didn’t relax until she and Fitz were in his car with the doors locked and the engine started, his hoodie crumpled in her lap.

Fitz carefully backed out of the spot and directed them into traffic. He waited until they got onto the highway and into the flow of things before he reached for his mobile and fired off a text to Hunter asking him to take care of his suit in the morning. That taken care of, he left it in the center console and reached to take Jemma’s hand in his once more. 

“Are y’ hungry at all?” He wasn’t sure if Jemma had eaten anything that morning or if she’d been too anxious. “Should we look for somewhere t’ stop along the way?”

🌸 Fluff Monthly ~ March 🌸

Springtime is here - and so are five fresh prompts for all of you 😊

🌸 Each month of 2023, you will get a new bingo board which will have the following mix of prompts:

  • the month itself, which you can either use as an actual prompt or as your typical "free space" on bingo boards
  • two prompts (more or less) related to the month/time of year*
  • and two general prompts

*March 18th is World Sleep Day, so you get a 😴

🌸 Whenever we prompt a line from a song, you can either use it as such or you can simply listen to the song and let it inspire you for your creation.

🌸 You can fill as many or as few squares as you want - and you can also fill one creation with multiple or even all prompts!

🌸 Since this is a year-long event (with the exception of Flufftober itself, of course), reblogging will not happen daily! It will happen the first three days of the month and then every weekend.

🌸 Aside from these special event rules, our usual blog rules still stand (you can find them under the cut).

🌸 Posting

  • Please use the tag #fluffmonthly
  • Since tags are wonky sometimes, make sure to also tag @flufftober in your post
  • To make reblogging easier, make sure to add the following tags: #fluffmonthly #[fandom] #[ship and/or main character(s)]
  • If you're posting on ao3, you can add your creation to the collection Fluff Monthly

We hope you will all enjoy this little event and that we can keep our blog active over the entire year 🥰 so as always:

🌸 Happy Creating 🌸

Just realized I didn't tag anyone back in the 10 lines game......

To be honest I'm always leary of doing so. I once tagged someone who didn't want to be tagged and she went off on me in the comments about how I don't have permission to tag her and she doesn't want to be tagged and on and on. I always try to pick people i think would be interested but after that incident it made me quite nervous to do so.

Also if you get tagged in something and you don't like it, ignore it. If you'd like the person to not tag you, just send a DM, no reason to make it a public big deal.

Thank you for the tag @celestemagnoliathewriter I love getting tagged in things like this :)

Rule: Share the first lines of your ten most recent fics and and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy--share anyway ❤️.

(I wasn't sure if it meant by publication date or update date so I went with publication date.)

  1. "Christmas in Scotland is almost magical, Fitz." Jemma Simmons told him. From my Fitzsimmons Secret Santa story, Almost Maybe
  2. Ellie paced the small bathroom. Back and forth, back and forth. She leaned against the bathroom counter, looking at herself in the mirror. How was she was supposed to tell Alan? This had certainly never been in the plans. From Life Finds a Way, a Jurassic Park story.
  3. Daryl thought about that. He'd never thought, not in a million years, that he would be teaching a five year old the right ways of doing life skills. From Good Days, a Walking Dead story, where Daryl realizes just how much those kids have come to mean to him.
  4. "It's always the same excuses, Remus!" Tonks shut the door and practically shouted at him, she wanted to stomp her feet like a toddler having a tantrum. From Now or Never, a Remadora one shot that follows immediately after THAT hospital scene
  5. She wore his hoodie. Somewhere in his jumbled brain, Fitz recognized the hoodie as his, although he couldn't have managed to tell her that. from the QuakeRider challenge, Five Times Leo Fitz noticed Jemma Simmons
  6. He didn't have any sort of plan, seeing how his plan for the day had been quietly reading alone in the library and that plan got completely upended by a pink haired auror and a box of kittens. from An Afternoon to Remember, in which Remus Lupin meets Nymphadora Tonks for the first time
  7. Clint briefly thought about what Laura was going to say when he came home with the kid in the ninja suit. from All I Know, which is literally the most popular story I've ever written. Fandom is Hawkeye!
  8. Hermione was usually right, but when she was wrong, she was really wrong, and he was a bit afraid to contradict her. Making Memories, from a HP discord secret santa challenge.
  9. No, he decided she might might actually care if he showed up in a turnip sack. from The Next Right Thing, a Romione story
  10. Suddenly the big Christmas tree in the corner popped on with blazing lights and Jemma herself wiggled out from underneath it. From Five Fitzsimmons Christmases & One Fitzsimmons Family Christmas which was my Fitzsimmons Secret Santa entry last year

okay, what I've learned from this list is I write for a lot of fandoms and I don't publish nearly as often as I think I do.

Went on a job interview. For context, I've been in retail on and off for 20 years. I've been the nightshift supervisor at my current job for 5 years.

I was literally told I don't have enough experience. LIKE WHAT THE HELL ELSE DO YOU WANT?

It was for a retail assistant manager position. Sorry that I was kind of hoping to come up in the world and I was hoping for enough money to live on and not need two roommates.

I disappeared from Tumblr for too long. I was a bit ashamed to continue posting if I hadn't finished the Fitzsimmons Secret Santa. It is finished and posted now and I can return without embarrassment

I am sorry to @ravenpuffheadcanons for the long wait for the remainder of your story. I do hope you enjoy the rest of it!

I am also sorry to @eclecticmuses as I kind of broke the already slack rules of the secret Santa by not finishing until March!

give me two characters who are each other’s home. two characters who feel completely safe, warm and protected in each other’s presence, and who are completely respected by the other. two people who, on some level or another, were missing that little extra spark they needed to feel fully confident and accepted as their whole selves until the other came along. they don’t “fix each other” or “make each other better”–they give the other the support they need to build on what was already inside them. sure they might kiss, or make goo-goo eyes, but they can also just…talk, and make each other laugh and smile, because for once they feel comfortable enough in themselves and with each other to be vulnerable in that way. two complete people who finally find someone to share all of themselves with. and no matter what they do or how far they go, they’ll always have each other to come back home to.
