Pages 7, 8, and 9 for @flonksfest 2020! (+extra R/S lol)
This is it for this year’s Flonksfest! I had a blast as usual…even if the story got a bit out of my hands. Thank you mods for all your hard work! <3
Probably should have uploaded this at the start of @flonksfest
This has been on my mind since I read “other worlds” as a prompt. Give me space ladies being BAMF and in love!!!
Hey comrades! I wrote a thing for @flonksfest because I needed agender Fleur to exist. More importantly check out all the other @flonksfest creations people have been posting for this super-turbo power couple!!! <3
Title: That One Time in Toronto Ship: Flonks: Words: 7792 Summary: It’s hard to be Fleur, dealing with ever increasing gender confusion, while partnered with everyone’s favourite genderfluid icon, Tonks. With cameos by The TTC Stick and a mighty urban raccoon. Tagset: genderfluid!Tonks, agender (questioning stage)!Fleur, moderate/increasing emotional distress about coming out/actualising true gender, coming out, respecting pronouns, 1 instance of unintentional/unknowing misgendering, supportive partners, figuring shit out in your 40s, established relationship, Toronto, tourism, bookwormery, Sci-Fi fan!Fleur, sobriety, queer sober dance parties, the TTC, The Stick, Bloomers doughnuts, Bata Shoe Museum, historical shoes, Merril Collection of Original Science Fiction & Fantasy Art, The Monkey’s Paw, Biblio-Mat, Glad Day Bookshop, urban raccoons, Shut Up Wesley! Notes: Big thanks to @aibidil for the lightning quick and insightful beta and for feeling feelings with me always. Solid thanks and huge hype also to @flonksfest for hosting a fest dedicated to this unmitigated power couple for another year!
I tried to wrap together all of the first three prompts for this one. Sadly, I couldn’t figure out a way to make it otherworldly.
I wrote this as a little love missive to Flonks and to Toronto. But I took a few liberties with the cityscape of Toronto, so please don’t @ me for getting the general location of the IMPROVED Neighbourhood Watch signs wrong or for making Glad Day a retailer of a range of pronouns pins–I mean, for all I know they sell those in addition to books, but I also may have made it up for the fic :) I have no ownership or affiliation with any of the characters or places in this fic. I own only my feelings about it all.
This is a Choose Your Own Adventure treasure hunt with Fleur and Tonks! At the end of each section, you get to decide what comes next. Simply click the link of your preferred option and you’ll be Apparated to the next phase of the journey.

((Here’s a little something for the @flonksfest 2020!! For the prompt of week one: vacation (it’s a bit too late but shh)))
~~~
God, Tonks thinks, aren’t trips to the beech supposed to be relaxing? She looks around, quickly sitting up. Her friends have apparently already gone home while Tonks had been asleep.
Emphasis on had been. She was rudely woken by a beech ball hitting her square on the face. “Hey!”, she yells towards the little girl with the pale blond hair next to her, “Is this yours?”
The girl nods, looking a bit shy. Tonks attempts to throw the ball at her, but it gets caught by the wind. The girl runs after it, and after she’s reached it she looks at Tonks with a toothy smile. Tonks grins back.
Then she closes her eyes and tries to soak in the sun. After the warmth has made it’s home within her core, she slowly opens her eyes again, only to find the little girl staring at her.
Tonks smiles friendly at her, and then goes cross-eyed and sticks out her tongue. The little girl giggles, and tries to imitate her. Tonks raises her eyebrows and opens her mouth in an exaggerated delighted look, and the little girl giggles harder.
Then, and this is where it all goes to shit, Tonks pulls up her nose in a pig-like fashion and wiggles her eyebrows. The little girl laughs so hard that Tonks can still hear it where she’s sitting, and one of the people that had been with the little girl looks up to find the source of her laughter.
This leads to Tonks making eyecontact with the most beautiful woman she’s ever seen. She seems to be the big sister of the other girl, with the same pale hair. She also has gorgeous blue eyes, and she seems almost otherworldly.
Tonks quickly retracts her hand from her nose, but the damage has already been done. The older sister laughs, with a undertone that is most certainly mocking, and then she walks over to Tonks.
“Hello,” she says, and the french accent only adds to the etherealness of her voice. It definitely has some grounded undertones, though. It sounds, Tonks decides, like the sight of leaves blowing in the wind. “I see you are getting along well with my sister.”
Tonks pretends that she didn’t just embarass herself royally, and says, “Oh yeah?”. (Don’t judge her. It’s very hard to make good conversation on a normal day, let alone with someone as lovely as this.)
“Oh yeah,” The women repeats, “You looked very ridiculous. But that was the point, no?”
Fuck. Tonks thinks her bluntness is attractive. As if it makes her more real, somehow? “Well, your sister liked it!”
That gets a genuine, warm smile from the woman. She must care a lot for her sister. (Cute.) “She did. Should I thank you for that, miss? Or is it mister?”
As always, Tonks feels a little spark of joy at being reminded of how androgynous she looks, even though she is a woman right now. “Miss, for now. But you can always call me Tonks!”
A frown appears between two blonde eyebrows. Tonks wants to smooth it out with her thumb. “For now?”
“Well…” Tonks says, one hand coming up to rub the back of her neck. “What can I say? Genders are weird.” Please be normal about it, please be normal about it please be normal about-
The women snorts. “Tell me about it.” Wait what. Also holy hell has Tonks been assuming their gender all this time she should unlearn that habit.
“You are..? Although, you don’t have to share if you don’t want to, of course!”
“I am a trans woman, yes.” She holds her head up high, defiant almost, but Tonks just smiles wider.
“That’s awesome! We’ve got to hang out now.”
She blinks. “We… do?”
Tonks nods. “Yep! Do you know how many trans friends I have?”
“Well?”
“Zero. It’s a tragedy.”
The woman chuckles (it sounds even nicer than her voice). “That goes for me, too. I’ll have to tell my parents we’re “hanging out”, wait here.”
“Your… parents?”
“Yes, I’m here with my family.” After seeing Tonks confused look, the woman laughs, “You thought I was here with my sister, but without the rest of my family?”
It sounds kind of weird, now that Tonks hears it aloud. Not that she’ll admit that. “Well, see you soon then. What’s your name again?”
“It’s Fleur.” the gorgeous woman says, and then she turns around, all flowing blond hair and billowing summer dress.
~~~
Tonks took her to her cousin’s place. They took her to other places too, of course, to the park and movies and whatever caught her fancy, but this one felt different.
(It felt like a milestone.)
Not that they showed it. They opened the door as nonchalantly as ever, announced themselves just as loud as any other time, fell only once while taking off their shoes.
Sirius, after hearing the loud thud, said: “Oh, hi Tonks.”
“Tonks and Fleur!” they corrected him, and regretted that immediately the moment his eyes light up with mischief.

Canon does well in creating might fine witches but, let’s been real, it needs more lesbians. And happy endings. And happy endings for lesbians. Let’s get to that!
This is week two of FlonksFest 2020 - Let’s Escape and we want to see all your fic, art, moodboards, poetry, vids, and anything else you can create about Fleur and Tonks exploring the roads not taken in canon.
Don’t feel too restricted by the theme; it’s there for inspiration, not a rule. We welcome all Flonks content.
More details about this year’s fest can be found here.

Have fun lovelies! As ever, feel free to email or drop us an ask if you have any questions.

I kind of ran out of time so i didn’t finished the pages before hand. So…I’m going to hope I can finish and keep up with this fest.
Literally Flonkfest mods: We be cool.
Me: Imma make this stupid hard.
Hello and welcome to the third annual FlonksFest, a celebration of two of the hottest witches we know, Fleur Delacour and Nymphadora Tonks. We love Fleur, we love Tonks, and we love them together best of all!
FlonksFest is a fun, friendly, low-pressure fest to share the love for this ship, and to encourage all types of fanworks about this iconic duo.
How does it work?
This year we’re making things even simpler than previous years. Didn’t think that was possible, did you? But never fear, your friendly mods remain committed to lowkey femslashing fun this summer!
STEP ONE - FOOTAGE NOT FOUND
STEP TWO - ????
There are no steps one or two this year, we’re jumping right into the good stuff!
STEP THREE - POSTING - THROUGHOUT AUGUST
This year, our event theme is Escapes. In that spirit, each week will have a general prompt:
Post your submission any time during the appropriate week. Or post it in the wrong week, if you prefer. We’re pretty lax about inappropriate submissions.
All works should be posted to AO3 and/or Tumblr. If you prefer to use another social media site, email the mods a link to your submission (flonksfest@gmail.com) and we’ll post the link to Tumblr. When posting to AO3, please add your works to the FlonksFest Collection.
When posting to Tumblr, please tag you post #FlonksFest and @flonksfest us for good measure (just on the off-chance that tags don’t work perfectly, y’know) so we can see and reblog everything. You can do this whether you are hosting your work directly on Tumblr or linking to AO3.
There’s no set template for posting - live free! - but please remember to rate and tag appropriately.
STEP FOUR - PROFIT?
The mods will post a masterlist and we’ll all bask in the warm glow of victory, proud of our roles in bringing more Flonks content into the world. Ahhh.
What can I make?
We welcome all kinds of fanworks. Fic, art, fanmixes, vids, and anything else you can think of. You want to perform an interpretative dance demonstrating your thoughts on how Fleur feels about Tonks’ hair and upload it to YouTube? We are here for that. Seriously, ANYTHING GOES!
There is no minimum word count or any particular requirement for other works.
The only rule is that all works must focus on Flonks. Other background pairings are welcome, so long as Fleur and Tonks are centre stage.
Any other guidelines?
Yes! Please be mindful of portraying marginalized communities respectfully. This page from Writing With Color has a list of blogs and resources that discuss diversity in writing. Any creations submitted in bad faith, or that promote racism, transphobia, homophobia, etc. will not be accepted.
In particular, your mods welcome and encourage trans, nonbinary, and gnc characterizations for this fest. Trans women are women, and their voices must be heard and uplifted now more than ever. Transmisogyny has no place here, or in any sapphic space that claims to be feminist. This includes microaggressions as well; no hint of bigotry will be tolerated.
I have another question/I want to speak to the manager!
Your friendly neighbourhood mods are nachodiablo and shaggydogstail. You can send an ask to @flonksfest or you can contact the mod email account, flonksfest@gmail.com.
