When Harry gets his first place after Hogwarts that actually has more than one floor, he comes home after getting a load of boxes to find Hermione using a sledgehammer on the drywall beneath the stairs. And Ron’s like, “Look, mate, I borrowed this stuff from my dad, I’ve got a DRILL and a – what’s it called again, Hermione?” “A stud finder.” “Right, one of those, and we’re going to fix your stairs.” Harry’s like, “But there’s nothing wrong with them.” “Yes, Harry, there is.” Harry’s just sort of standing there in total bewilderment while Hermione totally demolishes the wall. “We couldn’t have done that with magic?” “No, Harry, this is personal. You two take this mess out to the skip.” And then Harry stands around a while longer and Hermione puts in support beams in the appropriate places so the stairs don’t fall in, and Ron’s very excited about using the stud finder even though Hermione won’t let him use the drill. When they’re finished, Harry has this set of shelves. So he says, still completely confused, “I thought we picked this place because it had loads of storage.” And Hermione says, “Go get some of my books. I know it’s just shelves, but it’s not a bloody cupboard.”
And every time Harry moves for the rest of his life, Ron and Hermione are there on moving day and they knock out anything under the stairs, even if it’s just a wall. Hermione reads a lot of books. Ron learns to use a miter saw and a carpenter’s square and practices the nail hammering spell until he can do it perfectly on the first try. And sometimes it isn’t very practical but it looks nice…
And sometimes, when they all get older and have children, it’s cozy and has a purpose…
And eventually Hermione gets the trick of there being nothing under the stairs at all…
Which is the story of how Harry Potter never lived in a house with a cupboard under the stairs again for the entire rest of his life.
Inspired by @omgericzimmermann‘s Halloween fic-a-thon for the Check Please fandom, I decided to make Valentine’s Day fic-a-thons in the spirit of the holiday and love in general for both Check Please and Shadowhunters. Here’s the SH one, with special thanks to the SH Heart and Soul Writers Network! ❤
To start are the prompts:
Feb. 1st – This World Inverted (set in that episode’s universe)
Feb. 2nd – Friend Love (friend dates, support, gifts, memories together throughout the centuries, etc.)
Feb. 3rd – Admissions/Confessions (didn’t mean to say i love you yet, explaining their partner is bad in bed, admitting feelings, etc.)
Feb. 4th – Shadow World Traditions/Customs (does the shadow world fo vday?, color meanings [green = heartbreak, gold = weddings, etc], do seelies have other love celebrations? vampires? warlocks? nephilim? werewolves? who knows!, etc.)
Feb. 5th – Aro/Ace Appreciation (being calm while everyone else freaks out about vday, intimacy without sex, coming out, etc.)
Feb. 6th – Everyone refusing to use ‘Valentine’s Day’ because of Morgenstern (the word, the day, people making up new name’s for it, etc.)
Feb. 7th – Plans Gone Wrong (ruined surprises, things not going as planned but ending up better, being one uped, burned dinner, etc.)
Feb. 8th – Past Valentine’s Days (immortals’ most memorable ones, first ones with SO, comparisons, etc.)
Feb. 9th – Anniversary (plans, traditional gifts and meanings, forgotten, etc.)
Feb. 10th – Familial Love (lightwood siblings, the frays + luke, lewis’, etc.)
Feb. 11th – Magic (love spells/potions, soulmate bonds, destiny, literal sparks from a kiss, etc.)
Feb. 12th – Alone on Valentine’s Day (single and bitter, left behind, ‘no one should be alone today’ queue netflix with friend(s), vday after a breakup, etc.)
Feb. 13th –
Everyday Moments (love in the little things, domestic fluff, details in caring for someone, etc.)
Feb. 14th – Free for all! (anything you want! fluff, smut, meet cute, soulmate AU, etc.)
Next, do the thing! Write/draw/whatever you please for the prompt related to Valentine’s Day or love. This can mean fluff, smut, ships, no ships, self-love, lack of love, breakups, getting back together, and so on! Pretty much whatever you want to make of it! You can do as many or as few of these prompts/days as you please. There are no length requirements.
Posting: On the day of your prompt, post it on either tumblr or on the AO3 collection (which you can join at any time to help give me an idea how many people we have) with the tag SH Love Fest and tag or @ me (achilleanragnor).
If you have any questions, feel free to message me or send me an ask! Please reblog this to help spread the word! ❤
