Mermaid AU Where They Are Each Other's Only Friend, But Harry Is Very Curious About Life On The Surface

There isn’t enough Tom raises Harry Au out there

nothing is better than crying in your enemy's lap

Oho, my, my... It would appear that I've upset some people tonight. Oho, how delightful.

Truth tends to do that, I've found.

My intent with my new JKR's writing analysis series is to help others improve their writing. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not a series where I'm trying to bitch about anything. I'm just obsessed with writing. I love helping other writers become better and stronger.

I don't actually care about JKR.

We can always dissect other authors after I'm through with her.

As a teenager decades ago, I used to idolize her and her writing. However, I learned that when I copied her, it weakened my writing. I quickly outgrew her.

I wish to prevent this mistake for others. My desire is to help young aspiring writers to critically analyze JKR's writing (and potentially other authors) without putting this woman on a pedestal.

After all, we don't need the canon texts anymore. Fanfiction writers as a whole have so greatly surpassed her on a glorious scale. The writing skills of fanfiction writers far exceed JKR. If this idea and concept triggers you and makes you angry, then you might want to take a step back and self reflect on that personal issue.

And if you still have a problem, then this writing series is obviously not for you.

That's okay.

If I'm the only brave person around here to dissect J.K. Rowling's writing and reveal its true nature, then so be it.

Class is in session. See yall next week for Part Two.

Yeah, Tomarry haha :D

A commission I bought from https://www.deviantart.com/anko-sensei

student au

can we please get a snippet of the Grindelwald!Harry AU?? Maybe Gellert tracks Harry down and like wants to apologize for being absent but Harry’s like you’re not my dad!! And Gellerts like o.O my son hates me so much that he won’t even acknowledge me.

orrr something about exactly WHY everyone thinks Harry’s Gellert son

Or literally anything. I’m obsessed

This is the first thing that popped into my mind 😂

——————————

“I’m sorry - what?”

Albus took a calming sip of his tea, humming in appreciation at the pleasant taste, before placing it back on the saucer and looking at the young man across from him. There was nothing of Gellert in him, not in looks or personality or even in the flavour of magic that emanated from him; and it only solidified the suspicion in his mind that this was not the long-lost son of his old friend.

Certainly, Gellert never would have allowed such a…gobsmacked look to cross his face.

Amusement bubbled merrily in his gut at the expression on Harry, though. This was a man that had never learned or never cared to mask his emotions before, and it was refreshing to witness someone so unashamed or concerned over how he was perceived.

Albus had been spending far too much time around politicians lately.

“I said that for someone rumoured to be Gellert Grindelwald’s son, you were remarkably easy to find.”

Harry’s eyes - a brilliant, lovely green - suddenly narrowed and sharpened. He still did not resemble Gellert, but the abrupt shrewdness of his gaze was as dangerous as it was compelling. Albus hid his smile behind the rim of his cup.

“Grindelwald.” It wasn’t even a question, just a flat repetition.

“Oh yes,” Albus said, more jovial than the situation perhaps warranted. “The wizarding world is positively abuzz with news of your existence. It’s quite a scandal.”

“But I’m not Grindelwald’s kid,” Harry replied, with such aggressive honesty that it made a well of fondness appear in Albus’ chest. Truly, it seemed he had stumbled across a wonderful gem of a human being. Even just this brief conversation told him all he needed to know about young Harry’s character.

He took another sip, waiting deliberately to see where this would go.

Harry inhaled, his lips already opening to say more - when he just stopped and huffed. His eyes pierced Albus, and some weary amusement snuck on the other’s face. “And you know that,” Harry said, rolling his eyes and sighing. “You just wanted to see how I’d react.”

Marvellous! Not only a sincere man, but one with a clever mind. There was a temper there, Albus had been able to tell that after Harry’s initial response to his arrival - the bright burst of anger in his eyes when he first saw Albus, the way the green darkened, his jaw clenched and his fingers twitched - but it was tempered by such an overwhelming blanket of kindness and good humour.

He should get out of the office more often.

More Tomarry doodles 😌✨️💚❤️

Au where Harry is constantly struggling bc of Tom's good looks and gestures of affection. He totally has a crush but really REALLY doesn't know how to deal with it.

He's seen either frowning or looking constipated whenever he's by Tom's side and people naturally mistake it as distate/hatred (which technically wouldn't have been wrong back in his old timeline).

In reality, Harry is so down bad for his past nemesis that he's always close to hyperventilating at the proximity between them. With Tom manoeuvring situations behind the scenes so that they can constantly be near each other/are partners in every class they're in, Harry has no chance to relax his heart at all and thus, suffers. It just so happens that his face, misleadingly, reflects that pain. Lmao.

-end (tbc?)

Probably my last doodle (of them?) for awhile bc I really need to finish my other wips and I have an upcoming bday project to work on hhhh. Like I'll still make time for them but right now? it's a challenge. /n
