This Is Amazing I Love

I love this more than myself

Regulus goes to an art museum and pauses when he sees a painting that looks almost exactly like him. A figure of pale skin and gray eyes, dressed in the clothes of the 1400s, and a bundle of flowers in hand. Looking at someone who is only seen by the dark skin and messy curls that peek within the canvas borders, back turned to the viewer.

"Encore" Again, it is titled.

He jumps when a man approaches him from behind. Dark skin and messy curls.

"Hello," he smiles.

Regulus feels as if he knows the man. Like a click of recognition. He felt as if he knew the most intimate details of this person.

"Hello," he replies. A knowing feeling in his soul.

His eyes drift from the painting to the man.

"We meet again," James says, his smile as bright as the day they met in the flower fields in the 1450s.

My new Roman Empire is Steve being lowkey thick as fuck simply because of cultural changes

big fan of when stuff is the color green

fanfiction truly being the savior for everyones sanity

You guys know how we have the head canon that James starts to doubt his sexuality in his early years because he has a tiny crush on Remus? 

Well, as soon as the beginning of their sixth year, he would look at Regulus who hit puberty in such a way that only The Black Family would be able to have, that he just turned into the beautiful creature James had laid eyes on. He would have taken one look at Regulus walking beside Sirius at the train station and gone “Yeah, no way I’m straight”

Need.

Genre of character: submissive like a guard dog is submissive

Fellas, fellas

Why on earth are you BUYING PHYSICAL BOOKBOUND COPIES OF FANFICTION????

ACTUALLY WHY ARE YOU EVEN BOOKBINDING FANFICTION TO SELL?!?!?!

IF ANY OF YOU DO EITHER OF THESE THINGS, GET OUT!! I AM NEVER SPEAKING TO YOU AGAIN.

In all seriousness though, authors on AO3 have begun to pull their works off of the site to avoid getting sued by people stealing their works to make a pretty bound book for profit. Entire accounts could be shut down as well.

Listen, I’m all for saving favorite works by printing them out and putting them in a binder, or learning how to make a fancy book for a fanfic, but making books with actual fanfiction in it to sell is where I draw the line.

Literally the entire point of AO3 is that you can read it FOR FREE.

It is DISRESPECTFUL for people to make money off of hardbound copies because guess what, the original creators of these fics get nothing. We are literally only writing fanfiction for our own pleasure.

Buying and selling book-bound fanfiction is also ILLEGAL YOU DUMB SHITS. It’s an immediate violation of copyright law. The original fan work will get erased from the internet.

Fanfiction is already a legal grey zone since they are works being written about are protected by copyright. Copyright holders can in fact go after writers as well as the person who sold the fanfiction.

This also goes for people who steal fanart and, claim it as theirs, and put a price on it.

Don’t make it worse.

Bookbinding fanfiction for profit is literally ruining things for everyone. DON’T.

James didn't die. He lived with Harry and when it was time for him to go with Dumbledore, James fucking joined them. He didn't want to let his son be alone with that man. But when they were at the cave and the first inferi showed up, James couldn't move. Couldn't breathe. Couldn't think.

Harry didn't understand why his father stopped fighting and why he just stared at the inferi with horror in his eyes. But when Harry raised his wand, ready to curse, James grabbed his wrist.

"Please, don't."

James leaned closer, recognised the ring on the inferi's finger and looked at it through blurry eyes before he let out a quiet sob.

"Reg..."
