Need so o can find again
do u know of any long, completed fleurmione fics?
I do, indeed! On Teenagers And Love by anamatics (a fourth year onwards fic), One Step at a Time by hphglover (post-war), Destination: Love by xyouaremylobsterx (muggle au and told in second person) and Past, Present and Unforeseen by Jackdawess (Shell Cottage onwards au) are all ones I would recommend. Plus, they are all at least 80,000 words, since you wanted a long fic!
If Janet from The Good Place can wear dresses and have long hair and use she/her pronouns and not be a girl, so can you!
Ginny is a loud parent. She grew up with 6 brothers in a house that was never quiet. She is loud. Her children are loud.
There is always some sort of shouting going on in the Potter Family Household. Even if no one’s angry or upset. They’ll have conversations whilst on different floors. Or raise their voices because they’re excited. The only time the house is quiet is when no one is there or absolutely everyone is asleep.
The dogs love this. They too will shout at their favourite humans if they want scratches or to play.
Harry loves this too. He is also the quietest person in the house.
He never raises his voice. Ever. If Harry is raising his voice everyone shuts up and listens.
This carries over to his work in the Auror Office too.
He’s the quietest-spoken Head Auror in living memory. He is also one of the most effective.
The Potter kids are very well-trained in the practise of not talking back to Mum.
But it’s when they’re in trouble with their Dad that everyone freaks out.
Harry doesn’t get mad. Harry gets disappointed. Everyone agrees that this is ten times worse than Mum’s shouting.
Harry and Ginny don’t fight with each other often but when they do it’s always over something petty and tends towards the explosive. It usually ends in a cold war that lasts until one of them apologises
They take turns in apologising first
Every single Potter child has at one point tried to refer to Harry and Ginny’s various misadventures, rule-breaking and/or that time they committed treason/a crime to get out of trouble
This strategy has never once worked
Harry and Ginny have lived together since they both graduated Hogwarts
Andromeda has lived with Harry even longer
She moved in with him with baby Teddy right after the war ended. Her house was empty and full of memories. So was his. She needed help with Teddy and liked having someone else to take care of. He needed someone that would team up with Kreacher and force him to take a break when he got tunnel-vision.
This arrangement was intended to be temporary. Andy never moved out.
She was very happy to be de-facto grandmother and go-to babysitter to all the Potter children (she may have cried when she realised)
Molly and Arthur Weasley babysit as well of course, but they have 9 other grandchildren besides and everyone understands without talking about it that Andy only really has the Potters.
The Potters actually have two houses. They lived in Number 12 until Lily-Lu was born and they realised that with 3 small young children and 1 larger but still young child (not to mention the three dogs) they needed more outdoor space
They found an old farmhouse cottage with an attached barn that they renovated to be livable (after Grimmauld Place it was easy - especially with Kreacher and Winky’s help)
This house was called “Firedrake Cottage” when they bought it.
It took less than 3 weeks for the kids to start referring to it as “Dragon House” and Number 12 as “Star House”
They use these names so often that Harry and Ginny change the floo connection between the houses to accept these as destinations
It becomes so common that Harry accidentally tries to floo to “Dragon House” from the office and gets thrown out of the floo violently
NO ONE lets him forget it
This actually happens more than once
Ginny only does this once before contacting Percy and insisting that he change the official floo addresses
She fails to inform Harry of this
He spends 3 months apparating to and from work before being confident enough that he won’t get the floo address wrong
Teddy’s first word was “Nana”. She remains his favourite person to this day.
She’s also the only person he goes to for romantic advice, his parents, aunts, and uncles all being hopeless in that regard
Nana Andy is not much better but absolutely no one ever tells him this
He calls Harry “Dada” for the first time less than 5 minutes after he first says “Nana”
Harry cries
Ginny also quickly ends up being “Mama”
This freaks her out for exactly 30 seconds until Teddy starts crying because she’s not picking him up. She very quickly adjusts because dear Merlin he’s loud when he’s upset and she never can stand hearing him cry
He’s enrolled in every muggle primary school after the first as “Potter” because after the first 6 times Harry has to correct the teachers and the other parents about calling him “Mr Lupin” despite the fact that Teddy looks like his son and calls him “Daddy” he nearly has a breakdown (it’s been nearly 4 ½ years since the war ended but sometimes it hits him so hard that he can’t breathe)
Teddy is 4 when Harry and Ginny sit him down to explain that they’re not actually his parents. He is inconsolable until they reassure him that they’ve always loved him like a son. Neither will admit how touched they were when he asked if he could still call them “Daddy” and “Mummy”. The answer is “yes” of course
Teddy is 6 when James is born. He spends the last 2 months of Ginny’s pregnancy terrified that his parents won’t need him anymore, despite all of their reassurances. It isn’t until James is born and they introduce him to his “big brother” that it sinks in that he isn’t being replaced.
2 weeks into his first year at Hogwarts Teddy breaks into his Professor Granny Minnie’s office (he shouts different names from the War Memorial until the Gargoyle opens) and begs her to change his name on the registers to “Potter”. She does so without asking why. She’s seen more than one child go through these halls with a name that hurts, she no longer asks for a reason.
He’s nearly 14 when he sits his parents and his Nana down and explains that even though he knows they’re not biologically his, Harry and Ginny are the only parents he’s ever known, and he wants that to be recognised by everyone, not just people who know him. He’s tired of being “Lupin” every time the anniversaries roll around. He loves the man who gave him the name in an abstract way and he knows his Dad misses him but he wants people to stop seeing the dead when they look at him and start seeing him (afterwards Harry takes him aside and tells him about growing up as an orphan and constantly getting told he looks like his father with his mother’s eyes and how there were times when he wondered if that was all anyone ever saw when they looked at him)
He’s 9 when he realises he’s actually a girl sometimes. He still uses he/him pronouns all the time because he’s never felt like they don’t suit him. His parents take it in stride when he tells them and his Nana tells him that his bio-Mum was exactly the same way but with female pronouns
He sometimes refers to himself as a Black when they’re in Star House. He doesn’t really feel like one but it always makes his Nana smile
He’s always known without being told that he’ll inherit the Headship of the Black Family and all that that entails when Harry dies. He doesn’t like to think about it
When he becomes an Auror his mentor is Lavender Brown
He doesn’t understand why everyone is so scared of her because Auntie Lav-Lav has been a staple in his life since he was 6
This lasts until the first time he witnesses her make someone cry and his Dad has to interfere to get her to back off.
He’s Jamie’s favourite person in the world
This is thrilling for the first 6 months. Then it becomes the most annoying thing in the world
He decides pretty early on that he wants to adopt. Tori agrees to this pretty quickly after he tells her but insists that they have multiple children
They end up being foster parents for magical orphans and children from abusive homes. They don’t get to keep all of them but every child that doesn’t have decent other family becomes theirs.
They do end up having 2 children that are biologically theirs. Both pregnancies were accidental.
Teddy and Tori do not differentiate between any of their children. They are all theirs after all
All of their children get to choose what surname they would like to use when they go to Hogwarts.
Jamie is inseparable from his cousins Fred and Louis practically from birth
By the time they can walk this is very difficult for Teddy because he cannot go anywhere without tripping over three toddlers
And he doesn’t have the best balance in the first place
Jamie falls for a muggleborn that ends up in Hufflepuff but he’s sure should have been Slytherin
The muggleborn is not shy about the fact that he hates strongly dislikes Jamie
They end up married anyway (somewhere in heaven James Potter and Sirius Black are laughing) (history has a funny way of repeating itself)
No one loves their siblings more than Jamie Potter loves his brothers and sister
He will fight anyone that disagrees
Also anyone that upsets them
Also that one guy that insulted Lily-Lu behind her back and then made a vulgar comment about wanting to fuck her. He learned to respect women quickly (he’s lucky it was Jamie that taught him and not one of his siblings. Teddy is a scary good dueler and Lily-Lu is just frightening. Al is inventive)
Al doesn’t actually know that his new friend Daisy is his second cousin until he gets to Platform 9 ¾ at the start of the Christmas Hols
There is no Potter that can be left unsupervised. Ever.
Al might not be as quidditch mad as his brother but all of the Weasley cousins can play
He and Rose are a particularly unbeatable pair of Beaters (Scorpius isn’t a half bad Keeper)
Al’s best subject is potions. To literally no one’s surprise he becomes a Potion’s Master (his siblings are surprised that it takes nearly 4 years after his Mastery to blow something up badly enough that it destroys his lab)
He fully lives up to this part of the Potter legacy (somewhere his great-grandfather Monty is ridiculously proud. Severus Snape is turning in his grave)
In much the same way that everything else in his life comes as a surprise to him, Al is the last person to find out he’s dating Frankie Longbottom
True to form he finds out when Rose asks him what their plans are for their second anniversary
He panics and finds out that literally everyone else including Frankie, his siblings and both of their parents thought they were dating (spoiler alert: they are dating, he just somehow never noticed)
Lily-Lu manages to be more dangerous with a wand than her mother, biological grandparents, and her godmother put together
She’s far more interested in politics and law than she is in dueling though (there is a not insignificant number of people who are very very grateful for this fact)
She plays seeker on her house team
There was an Incident in one match where the other seeker saw her flying towards him and promptly flew in the other direction as fast as he could. Neither would share why. (He was harassing Violet Brown. Lily does not put up with such shit. She makes this fact known. He regrets his actions very much)
Her favourite person is her godmother, Auntie Lav-Lav.
This is unrelated to the fact that Lavender Brown is the definition of the phrase “steel fist in a lacy glove” and may or may not have something to do with the fact that Lavender Brown is the first werewolf Auror, maintains one of the highest solve rates in the DMLE, (second only to her Dad and Aunt Susan) and puts up with no one’s shit
Lily-Lu wants to be Lavender Brown when she grows up
She doesn’t marry but the Prophet reports that she spends a suspicious amount of time with the Zabini Heir – notorious flirt and famous for being born out of wedlock to two parents in a constant on again off again relationship
Harry prays that this is just a rumour
Ginny just hopes she gets more grandbabies out of it
Lily-Lu not getting married is mostly unrelated to the fact that Jamie bet her that she wouldn’t manage to be the last DA kid to get married (Jamie already knew at the time that Benny Jordan was aroace and had already decided to get married never when he could just work with dragons instead)
At this point she’s persisting out of sheer spite
Everybody talks about children of divorced parents but let's talk about the true soldiers. Children of "will you pls get a fucking divorce" parents
#well mark me down as scared and h*rny
Just want to remind everyone of this
No powers supercorp AU where Kara is a war correspondent for CatCo Media and Lena is her photographer. Some background: Lena was adopted by the Luthors as a young teen, not a four year old, and she absolutely hated it, so as soon as she turned 18 she struck out on her own to make her own way without any support from her father's family.
She changes her name to Kieran Walsh and pays her way through college and ends up quickly making her way through the world of photojournalism. She actually wins a Pulitzer before even meeting Kara.
They meet on the edge of a war zone, in a hotel that hosts most of the journalist contingent assigned to the conflict. Kara is disenchanted with the world and is pretty caustic when they meet, begrudgingly agreeing to partner up to meet mutual goals with this photographer she doesn't recognize and therefore assumes is a newbie.
She doesn't even learn Lena's-- Kieran's-- name until they get back to the hotel after, and another journalist greets Kieran by name. Kara quickly puts the pieces together and shoots Kieran a look between anger and awe.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she demands.
Kieran smirks. "So I could see that look you have your face."
Kara slowly smirks back. She likes this woman, and she knows then they've just sparked the start of a beautiful friendship.
They continue to work with each other, soon being partnered on every assignment. They maybe have some casual, no-strings-attached sex occasionally when they need to blow off steam, but they still classify themselves as friends only.
After years of working together, however, they run afoul of a brutal regime and are captured by paramilitary forces. They're questioned (tortured), but they have no information to keep secret. They're simply journalists investigating the conflict to shine a light on the civilian toll.
Their captors eventually accept that they're not spies/saboteurs, but decide to make an example of them anyway with a televised execution. Before they do, however, they plunk Kieran and Kara in front of a live video feed to share their identities, their capture, and their sentence.
Kara stoically delivers the script they've been ordered to follow, but when it comes to Kieran, she gives the camera a deep, intense look.
"My name is Kieran Walsh, a photojournalist for Catco Media." She pauses then, then commits to her decision.
"I am also Lena Luthor, the only daughter of Lionel Luthor. These men have arrested us under false pretense, and we call upon--"
The lead captor cuts the feed and immediately cracks Lena across the face with the butt of his rifle. The blow dazed her with a broken nose, but Lena quickly recovers and shoots the man a bloody grin.
She chuckles.
"You guys are so fucked."

for the sharing a bed prompts, 35 and Malvie? (or whoever you feel inspired to write!)
Absolutely! Thanks for the ask, Anon!
35. “I wanna be big spoon this time.” “But you’re tiny.”
Mal bites down on her lip as hard as she can, trying her best to stifle the giggle buried in her throat. She swats the relentless fingers digging into her side, ones with pretty, long red fingernails that only make the tickling feel even more merciless with every deliberate jab.
"Eves, stop it already!" Mal gasps, grabbing at the girl's wrists and shoving them behind her. “Cease, desist! Uncle!”
Evie pulls back long enough so Mal can roll over and face her. She’s gasping deeply, her laughter coming out in breathless wheezes, and Mal can’t stop herself from smiling a little at the sight of Evie’s brightly flushed cheeks and wide smile.
“Ok, ok, have you had your fun now?” Mal quips. Evie nods silently, still trying to catch her breath. Mal pulls at one of her hands, bringing it close to her chest and stroking it lightly with her thumb.
“You know, if I didn’t love you so much Princess, that sense of humor of yours could get you in some big trouble.”
“Oh come on, Mal,” Evie whines, leaning in to peck her lips lightly. “I was just having a little fun. Besides, your skin is so soft, it’s hard to resist a little tickle when I’m hugging you like that.”
Mal rolls her eyes at that, and Evie bursts another giggle as she buries her face into her girlfriend’s neck, her nose scrunching as purple strands brush her skin.
“Whatever. Then it’s my turn next. You know, you’ve got soft skin too, Eves.”
She nudges in a little with her nose, letting it graze Evie’s jaw and prompting more giggles. Evie pulls back then, eyeing Mal and perking a curious brow.
“So, you’re saying you want to be the big spoon, then?”
Evie smirks when Mal nods back vigorously, planting a hand just over Mal’s shoulder so she can lift herself up. She hovers over Mal and leans in close, letting their noses just barely touch.
“But, babe,” she coos, smiling wide when Mal snorts at her nasally tone. “You’re...tiny.”
“What?!” Mal’s eyes blow wide with shock, and Evie lets out a quiet chuckle as she boops Mal’s nose with her finger.
“Oh stop, you know you’re still the biggest baddie at this school,” Evie scoffs, letting her hand cup Mal’s cheek. “You’re just, the littlest...biggest baddie, too. And that’s not a bad thing!”
Mal thrusts her hips up, knocking Evie back in a fit of laughter. She’s quick to overtake the bluenette, swinging a leg over her hips to straddle her and taking her wrists in both hands.
“You’d going to pay for that, princess,” she growls lightly, and dips down to pepper kisses up and down Evie’s face and neck. The girl’s laughter comes in short bursts as she gasps for air under Mal’s assault, bucking half-heartedly as if she’s trying to throw Mal off of her. But not really.
“Fine, you win!” Evie groans, whipping her head from side to side until Mal finally relents and sits back up. She doesn’t let go of Evie’s wrists though, and just continues to stare down at her, grinning triumphantly.
“I win? So, I get to be big spoon?” she declares as she lets herself flop to Evie’s side.
“Yes,” Evie snickers, turning her body to face Mal. “You can be my littlest...biggest spoon.”
Mal groans and smacks a hand to her face, dragging it down to fix a glare at Evie’s too-proud smirk.
“Fuck, you’re lucky you’re so cute, you know that?”
Evie hums happily, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on Mal’s lips.
“Hm, yes. I’m lucky you’re mine, too.”
Mal sighs and reaches out to stroke her fingers through Evie’s soft blue strands.
“You know just what to say to get yourself out of trouble, don’t you?”
“Yep.” Evie admits, making sure to pop her p. “You taught me well, big baddie.”
Mal chuckles and shoves at her shoulder, pushing forcefully to turn Evie back around. When her back is to Mal, she makes a show of slinging an arm and leg over Evie’s body, pulling her close and kissing her cheek from behind.
“That’s big spoon to you, Eves.”
Send me an ask!
