@ Fic Authors What Do You Personally Consider A Successful Fic? What’s The Bar?

Saying "I love you" without saying "I love you" — some ways your otp can silently express affection

Forehead kisses, and smiling through the kiss

Resting their forehead on the other’s after a kiss

Tucking strands of loose hair behind their ears, with a thumb caressing their cheek

Interlacing their fingers with the other’s when they least expect it

Sleepy back hugs when the other person is busy whipping up breakfast in the kitchen, catching them by surprise

Just doing their own things in the same space; being so comfortable around the other even in their pyjamas

Holding both their hands while holding their gaze gently, just before leaning in for a kiss

Switching positions with the other when walking down a busy sidewalk because your feel the need to keep the other safe

Being playfully clingy in the mornings when one has an off day and the other has to rush to work

Getting them something from the store when they only mentioned it in passing

When one is overseas for a work trip and everything they see reminds them of the other person (bonus: whenever it happens, they take a picture and drop the other person a text.)

Squeezing their hand reassuringly and holding their hand throughout an intense social situation (eg. a large school reunion which the more introverted person is dreading)

Kissing away their tears

^ and letting the other cry on their shoulder even when their t-shirt gets soaked from their tears

Meeting them where they are, mentally and emotionally; never forcing them to do anything they aren’t comfortable with

Wholeheartedly supporting their dreams, and putting that into action by making concrete plans for it to happen

Dropping the other person an encouraging text before an important interview/event

Surprising the other with flowers just because; no occasion and no reason needed

Picking the other person up from work when it’s getting late, and walking them right to their doorstep after

Good morning and goodnight texts

Making the other person a Spotify playlist with songs that remind them of their relationship and growth

Remembering the littlest of things — activities they like and dislike, favourite brands of stationery, go-to ice cream flavour, choice of popcorn

Writing little notes on post-its and leaving them in random pages of their textbook, so that they will get a little endorphin boost when studying

Updates!

Chapter 40 of Heir and Chapter 5 of Heart have been posted. I can't believe the HP fic has 40 chapters now! Holy cow!

my dream as a fanfic writer is to write a story which people want to talk to me about and send asks about afterwards and discuss things the characters did and the symbolism and meanings behind certain lines and I'll be all "hehe thanks" but irl I'll be in literal tears because I wrote something that means something to someone

Updates!

Both Heart of the Dragon and Dynasty Reborn have been updated! Now, the true Marik has been revealed! Mwuahahaha! *cough* Ok, moving on.

Severus looked at Celeste, laughing slightly, “Would you just tell me, so Bella and The Dark Lord aren’t your parents? Who is? There is no familial relations that would make me love you less.”

Celeste cocked her head, “Can I get that in writing first?”

Last piece for a while. In the middle of a move and today was my last day off for at least a month. Enjoy!

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions

Chapter 8 is up if anyone is interested ❤️

I thank Harry Potter to making my daddy issues worse by having characters such as Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape, and Lucius Malfoy. 🤧

“How dare you,” Celeste seethed, “After everything the two of you have been through?! And you dare call HIM a coward!!??”

Tonks stepped forward and laid a hand on her cousin’s arm, “Cece, come now. Getting upset isn’t good for you right now…”
