Focus on the road, Potter
"Careful," he gasped. "Airbag."
"What?"

If I ever see any of you in public, the code is “I like your shoelaces”
that way we know we’re from tumblr without revealing anything
I’m just going to say this to strangers until i find a tumblr person

Remember the answer is: I stole them from the president.

Whizz wrote smut: some thoughts
Wow. Focus on the road, Potter has become my most read fic on AO3 and has reached over 1000 hits in the space of 1 week. Thank you to everyone who read it, reviewed, reblogged, followed, subscribed; I am really baffled by the amount of feedback on this one-shot. Here are some unsolicited thoughts:
- It seems clear to me that E-rated stuff attracts people a lot more than other ratings and I find that extremely funny. (Though let's be honest, this one-shot was incredibly tame compared to what is usually floating around in the E tag)
- Writing smut is challenging but fun. Kudos to the authors who have smut in most of their fics. I wrote a couple of very mild scenes for Epitaph but none of them were particularly descriptive, unlike Focus. (Where are their hands? *scrolls back up 25 times* What terms should I use? How do I describe body parts without cringing and shutting my laptop? etc etc)
- I LOVED writing the build-up to the sex, more so than the sex itself. I don't know what that says about me. But joke aside, the goal was to depict an intimate and honest and realistic relationship, with a build-up and banter and foreplay and inside jokes and all the things that make intimacy interesting to write (and interesting to experience, if I may add). And then yeah, I guess some of it was hot, but that's what sex is supposed to be.
- People are so kind??? The darlings on Discord and our convos on privacy charms, especially rockstar @pebblysand who went "yeah why wouldn't you post it" and then seeing as I had no real answer I ended up posting it, lol. I just think readers have been so positive and I love it.
So all in all, this was fun! Don't know if I'll dedicate a full one-shot to smut again anytime in the future but this experience made me more confident with my writing for sure.

The Train
The last train out of Newcastle was almost empty. It rattled across the large bridges over the black water of the Tyne, and for the most part was quiet, just one or two people per carriage, snoozing in their seats or tapping away on laptops, ignoring the ping of the intercom and the Geordie-accented voice announcing the stops.
The exception to this was the very last carriage, where a large family was making a lot of noise indeed. Dressed head to toe in green and draped in scarves and flags and badges with words like 'Harpies rangers!' and 'These witches have talons!', they stretched across two table seats and the aisles behind too, the tables themselves laden with drinks and tubs of food bought last minute from the M&S in the station.

The Will To Change by Bell Hooks fucked me up good
Actually most of words we use for sex are violent, not just fuck. My Marriage and Family professor pointed this out during my freshmen year of college and it’s stayed with me. Think about it…. bang, screw, hit it, pound, smash, rail, plow, pound, like our entire culture has tried to remove the concept of intimacy and vulnerability and emotion from sex by associating violent words with the action. The power of language on culture, perspective, and overall mindset is so incredible. We gotta be more careful and respectful of that.
Interestingly enough, the one term I can think of that isn’t violent, make love, is ridiculed in pop culture instead of used to create intimacy when talking about sex. I never considered that before. This whole post is food for thought.
Reblogging again for ^^this comment. I’d been thinking the same thing. You can say you had sex or fucked or banged but if you say you “made love” then you’re mocked as a naive, overly-romantic, teenage girl virgin or some other sexist bullshit.
I wonder what euphemisms are in other languages. I only know a few, but not well enough to write about them.

and to your left you will see an abuser realizing that his victim might be the last hope he has. you also see a pure, good boy who has limitless compassion contemplate if he does have a limit:
It really speaks to the damage Vernon Dursley has done that Harry actually wonders if he would save him.

b/c i'm an # awful person talk about harry's feelings towards lupin when he offers to help them at grimmauld place ?
i need to preface this by saying i love remus. i love him as a person, as a character, i’m down for it. and i love remus and harry’s relationship and i think remus was wildly important to harry, offering him more tools to help himself than any other teacher. so what i’m saying IS OUT OF LOVE.
by the time remus shows up offering to help, he has repeatedly let harry down. harry’s disappointed that remus doesn’t write him after sirius dies ( and for harry to be disappointed in the actions of others towards him, that says something ). he has repeatedly shown harry that he wants to keep him at arm’s length ( the reasons behind this are probably due to remus’ insecurities / fears but i don’t write remus so i’m not going to dive too much into it ).
harry recognizes this. i think, on some level, he relates very easily to remus. but i think, at the point he’s at in his own journey, he is beginning to see his heroes for what they really are. – remus shows up under the guise of finally stepping up into harry’s life, but harry quickly realizes it’s only because he doesn’t think he’s worthy of being a father or a husband.
so it makes him angry. and remus evoking james’ memory makes him even angrier. one of the few things harry took on the run was the photographs hagrid gave him, he is reminded constantly of the sacrifice his parents made for him. it’s one of the few times harry refuses to let himself be manipulated by someone who knew james better than he ever could. because he’s closer to james than he ever was.
harry sacrificed his relationship with ginny, his chance at personal happiness because of the greater good. because he understands that his personal needs are insignificant compared to what was at stake, but he values bravery highly. remus came to him out of fear. remus also showed disregard to something harry values above all else, family.
harry understands that he needs to make remus angry in order to make him leave, he realizes he might need burn a bridge to make remus feel like harry’s not an escape route, so he does what he needs to do, a reoccurring theme. because there is somewhere remus should be, and it’s not with him. still, he speaks out of anger towards someone he feels ought to know better, acting below himself.

At the last word there was a peculiar grinding noise from above. All of them looked upward in time to see the crystal chandelier tremble; then, with a creak and an ominous jingling, it began to fall. Bellatrix was directly beneath it; dropping Hermione, she threw herself aside with a scream. The chandelier crashed to the floor in an explosion of crystal and chains, falling on top of Hermione and the goblin, who still clutched the sword of Gryffindor. Glittering shards of crystal flew in all directions; Draco doubled over, his hands covering his bloody face. As Ron ran to pull Hermione out of the wreckage, Harry took the chance: He leapt over an armchair and wrested the three wands from Draco’s grip, pointed all of them at Greyback, and yelled, “Stupefy!”
-(Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows)
This passage summarized Harry, Draco and Ron perfectly.
1. Harry will always go for the greater good. He will always try to save EVERYONE over a particular person.
2. Draco will always try to save himself 1st.
3. Ron will do ANYTHING to keep Hermione out of harm's way. At any cost.
I am blown away by the support on yesterday's one-shot! Truly was not expecting this much positive feedback when I woke up today. I will get back to everyone's messages either tonight or most likely Saturday! Take care everyone. - whizz

Six sentence sunday
Thanks for the tags, @missgryffin and @cesays ! It's still Sunday, but I waited until the final chapter of TS was posted. So here's a taste of my August Jilychallenge, which will hopefully be posted in the next two days. 😬
"Let's move on before he says something else stupid."
Lily wipes a tear, trying to get her laughter under control. "Are you sure? It's pretty entertaining."
She thinks I'm entertaining. Me. She likes me! I mean, or likes making fun of me, but the feelings are decidedly positive.
"Please don't encourage it."
"Too late, Moony. I'm already encouraged."
Thanks @theresthesnitch 💋💖
Even though it is no longer Sunday (I sort wandered off yesterday and didn’t come back) this would be from THE NEXT CHAPTER of Possession, Chapter 15:
After what felt like many wonderful hours, Harry finally pulled away and gave her a happy smile, his eyes full of amusement.
“That wasn’t very British of you, I’m afraid. Snogging me in public, what will everyone think?”
Ginny growled at him softly and nuzzled him. “I don’t give a toss what they say. I was suddenly overcome with a huge amount of warm feelings for you, you git. Or do you want me to contain myself properly?”
Harry smirked and pulled her closer to him. “Never.”
“Then shut up when I snog the pants off you.”
Harry chuckled and sat back, eyes laughing at her. “Sorry to say my pants are still on, Red. You’ll have to do better than that.”
(I went slightly over six sentences, sowwwy) Also, forgot to tag someone else… uh… @whizzfizz and @celtics534 !
This is fun, thank you for tagging me @velvethopewrites!
Here are six sentences from an upcoming chapter of Epitaph ;)
“And with the Stone... they’re not really there.”
“What do you mean?”
“They are there but like, in your head.”
“How do you know?”
Harry shrugs again. Ron has no idea what that means; he has no idea what any of it means.
There we go 😜 tagging all my lovely mutuals if you guys are up for it!

Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
Title: Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 Author/Artist: whizzfizz Pairing: Harry/Ginny Prompt: Cuddling Rating: T Trigger Warning(s) (if any): mentions of canon-typical violence, nightmares and very mild allusion to sex
***
Ginny’s worst fear is having to tell her children that Harry is not coming home.
It starts after the war, when Harry is sent off in increasingly dangerous missions and Andromeda is working night shifts. Ginny rocks and soothes little Teddy, whispering words of comfort in the toddler’s ear. As Remus and Dora’s child snuggles into her chest, Ginny contemplates the weight of parenthood. She wonders how she could ever explain to Teddy that he will not be able to see Harry anymore. She wonders if she would ever have the strength for such a task.
She is aware of the risks. This is Harry, for Merlin’s sake. Not just any Auror. She knows his name is and will forever remain an obvious target. She knew it when they kissed by the Great Lake and when he broke up with her. She knew it as they stole that furtive embrace after the funerals and much later, when he got down on one knee in front of her. Ginny knows the fear of losing him will persist like a shadow.
Being an Auror’s wife is not easy. The role involves a lot of patience, a lot of waiting, a lot of worry. Rushed goodbyes on Christmas mornings and midnights lost running down the corridors of St. Mungo’s. It also involves promising her children that Dad will be home very soon, safe and sound, even though she does not know if that is true.
