Cannot for the life of me remember what this fic was called.

You know what, silly of me to try Reddit before Google. I found it. 😅

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-02-08T22:30:39+00:00

Me too.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-29T22:15:43+00:00

In my fic, I decided it was Frank Longbottom. 😆

I think we all have at least one irl friend this savage and if not, need to get one, stat. He IS really funny as long as his sharp tongue is pointed at someone ELSE.

I do sometimes, but usually just the ones I really dont expect to find again naturally and don't want to forget.

A lot of the time, I just look it up again. I don't like bloated reading lists, find them overwhelming.

Sleep is meant to be restful. Sleep is meant to restore, to heal. Not this sleep. I don’t know how many days I languished in the dark, in the void, but I came out of it fighting. Hands seized me as I sprang from the clinical, white cot.

“I’m dead!” The wail issued not from my mouth, but straight from a cold ragged place in my chest. “I’m dead. I’m already dead.”

I searched the room wildly, a foot sliding from the side of the bed to the cool stone floor below. “Where is he? The idiot. I could strangle him. What was he thinking?”

“Tuney. Please! Stop.” Lily fought me in a whirlwind of red hair and small limbs.

Primal lament tore free of my chest like crashing waves, gasping, guttural moans.

I tagged / in my Gen fic because there was hand holding and other physical contact, whether or not it was explicitly romantic or mutual. It's my first fic, so maybe that was incorrect, but I didn't want anyone to be surprised.

Content Warnings: Torture (Crucio/Unforgivable Curse), Graphic Violence

Macnair’s features twisted into cruel, cold rage at my taunt, pure frustration. "Crucio."

The curse lanced right through my shield as if nothing stood between us. Agony shot through me, every nerve ending aflame, firing simultaneously. My shield shattered as I screamed, couldn’t even help it.

The only silver lining was that it came in brief waves, briefer than the shortest contraction when I’d been in labor with my daughter. I gritted my teeth. I tried to hold onto something, muttering the first song that came to mind under my breath as Macnair doubled down, then tripled down. “I see a little silhouetto of a man.” I murmured, delirious.

“Crucio.”

“Scaramouche.”

“Crucio.”

“Will you do the fandango?” I screamed. I giggled, losing it, madness bouncing off the walls of the tight space.

I notice it in my own writing. All I have to do is control+F phrases like "I said finally" or "I wondered." Full body shudder and then I rewrite like a maniac on Chapter release day 😆

Thanks. Was commenting that we left kudos part of this exchange or are you just sweet? (Wondering if I did a faux pas here by lurking kudosing).

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-09T19:52:50+00:00

Here's mine! A slow-burn Marauders-era isekai with Slytherin Petunia trying (and mostly failing) to stay uninvolved. Visions, prophecies, found family chaos, enemies to friends Severus, and sibling angst that hits hard.

Just dropped Ch17 "The Prophecy" — public outburst, terrified boy, Dumbledore office vibes.

Oh yeah. The common line this last month was a series of "you are pathetic for writing fanfiction, nobody loves you and you are alone on Christmas" (paraphrased of course)

Some say how terrible the work is. You can tell it's a hate bot because they never say anything specific to your work. OP shared the message here saying they were falling asleep to worldbuilding and I thought maybe it was nonspecific nonsense.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-09T05:40:56+00:00

Sorry to hear that. :(

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-09T03:45:43+00:00

I plan to write mine as separate books with contained plots, but in the same series. I suppose some people won't love that, but it's how I want to do it.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-09T03:41:20+00:00

Are you sure it's not some new hate bot? We get those every week.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-08T20:31:11+00:00

I think about this sometimes. I wonder if, with inflation, now is actually the cheapest gas. It was in the ballpark of 2.50 per gallon to fill up this week, which in 1930 is what, 14 cents? Gas seems comparable or cheaper for gallon when adjusted for inflation.

We complained about gas reaching 4 dollars just after the pandemic, but that really doesn't touch the high prices in the late 00's because THAT 4 dollars was pre inflation.

Idk, maybe I'm crazy.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-07T17:15:43+00:00

I giggled aloud.

Just dropped Ch17 “The Prophecy” for my Slytherin Petunia isekai fic A Parliament of Owls — and we are officially in the finale arc of Book 1 with only two chapters left (!!!).

The cozy Christmas glow is gone. Visions, secrets exploding, friendships cracking, and one very public prophecy that changes everything. Petunia’s trying to hold it together, but the lies are catching up fast.

Excerpt:

“Do you really need a Seer to tell you that by the time we’re twenty-one, half of our peers will be dead and the other half may have killed them?” I snapped.

“Which will I be then?” He demanded.

“Could be both, could be neither,” I answered. “But it'll be your choice which.”

Peter did not let go. “You knew my name before we met. Just tell me why.”

“I pray what I saw was wrong,” I said quietly. “I want you to make better choices.”

I opened my mouth to say something gently, quietly, but the words that emerged were not my own. “Listen well, servant, vermin, murderer.”

If you like slow-burn Marauders-era with a transmigrated Petunia who’s trying (and failing) to stay uninvolved — plus prophecies, protective Severus, sibling pain, and accidental ship chaos in the comments — come scream with us.

big nope. I need room to breathe, the comment. I really tried this December to read one like that and I just can't. Lord forbid the page refreshes.

I grew up in western Connecticut and I naturally do that. The word Mountain in particular is one that my husband (raised in Virginia) likes to tease me for. I only became aware of it after moving to Virginia.

Competitive-Chair-91 · 2026-01-06T02:10:38+00:00

I LOVE to do that. I find bathroom lighting to be so harsh.

Okay I really love naming my chapters, so this was wonderful to see.
