I love two faes

I love a fae
As fair as the sun
Armed with a kind heart and gentle smiles
With searing heat that comforts.
As with the sun, I live to see you
Soar in the morning sky
(Bright and free, you shine on)
Kindest, you remind me that I live.
So I can watch, breathless, your journey

I love a fae
As fair as the night sky
Gentle, beautiful words and simple silvered beauty
With a face alight with stars and unseen paths.
As with the moon, I live to see you
Bright and clear
(Halo in darkness)
Promises of sweet dreams and the midnight wolf’s howls
You remind me
That there is beauty to be found in dark times
Of songs gone unsung
That only your lips remember.

I love two faes
                         My moon and my sun

Hey did you know

Hey did you know

That my heart feels like such a pitiful thing
That I see you two on the other side of the world
happy and being adults
and my heart hurts as I remind myself.

“They only like me before I transition.”
“I’m safe, I’m too far away to be a threat”

Truth is.

Despite all reassurances of the contrary.
I’m still afraid of being myself.

And

         Still

                 Being

                             Loved

                                         (despite what I am)

That’s on me. I’m learning.
I’m getting better.

But I watch your smiles
Shared complicity.
With both fear and longing

                                                                                Hey did you know…

Tick tock

Tick tock run the seconds

And yet I can’t stop writing.
My ink-stained fingers cramps.

Tick tock goes my heart

Thinking of losses, what ifs, and of a small apartment in LA.

Tick tock goes this year.

Painfully long, and yet not enough time.
(I can’t prepare, I can’t do this).

Tick tock.

Time passes.

As always

And letting me wish I had more and scramble to make it advance faster.

Tick.

         Tock.

There’s an itch under Severus’ skin – one that doesn’t go away no matter what.
He loves dresses and skirts, but still know it’s wrong – up until a fiery girl shows him that it doesn’t matter.

OR

Severus is a transgirl and everything in canon is changed, and everyone is supportive.

First work in Harry Potter for like… years? I’m glad to have finally worked up the courage to do that.
It will be multichaptered, and I’m still working on the next part! It will probably be about Regulus and Sirius.

Fic was beta-read by @twitter-hikari who’s the most amazing twin ever! Many thanks to you ❤

Team Shi excerpt

Status: First chapter is nowhere near finished. But I have IDEAS and shameless enablers.
(you know who you are @thecrackening)

Below is a. Thing with Jiraiya, Team Shi, Hizashi and Oro. Hope you like it!

“Hokage-sama!”

The four cries in concert just made Sarutobi sigh heavily. Which problem required his attention now?

On the side of the room, Jiraiya, (who was a few seconds from giving his report), was now smirking and leaning against the wall, leaving the desk completely free for-

Well for the three genin of Team Shi and the brother of their sensei.

Hiruzen could just feel the headache coming. What had the cursed team done now?

He didn’t have to wonder for long as Hiashi slammed the desk with both hands. “Hokage-sama, I ask that you get your student here and get him to confess what he has done to my brother.”

The monkey summoner lost his pipe.
What now? He glanced at Jiraiya but he only got a helpless shrug in answer. Whatever happened it wasn’t his fault.

“Which one? As you may be aware Hyuuga-sama, I have three of them.”

The venomous glare of the Hyuuga head of clan just left him tired.

“The Snake sannin! My brother’s genin tell me that he’s been prowling around Hizashi for weeks now and my twin wasn’t here at their meeting this morning. And we seem unable to find him.”

Hiruzen sighed deeply.

“While I am sure Orochimaru-kun had nothing to do with it, I’m willing to humor you. Jiraiya-kun, care to make sure Orochimaru-kun doesn’t have Hizashi hidden somewhere?”

Jiraiya just grinned at his sensei before making a bastardized salute.

“Sure thing sensei,” he said before leaving by the window.

Jiraiya opened the door to Orochimaru’s apartment with a grand kick, announcing his presence to not only the inhabitant of the place but also all the neighbours.

Not that there was much of that since it was Orochimaru but eh. Intentions and all?

“Soooo Oro-teme, mind telling me why there are three munchkins besieging Sensei, who apparently believe you have managed to kill off their sensei?”

The pointed silence answering him was all the answer he needed.
Oh shit.
Did he really kill the brother’s of the Hyuuga head of clan?

Well, he thought while kicking the bedroom door open, he could at least be generous towards the bastard and help him.

“Oro-teme, if you need help hiding the body I can-”

His horrified stare stopped on the bed. With two people in it. As in. Two people who had got up to an obviously active night and very active morning.

Oh gods.

“I,” said Jiraiya dramatically, quickly slapping his hand over his eyes, “am never going to be able to unsee that. I am scarred for life, you bastard.”

He could feel the unamused glare of his teammate which. He didn’t deserve that, okay.

“That’s what you get for barging into people’s room uninvited, you fool,” was the dry response of Orochimaru. “Let alone their apartment.”

Jiraiya waved his other hand as if to dismiss Orochimaru’s argument. After a few seconds of dithering he decided that the wall was a preferable sight to what actually greeted him in the first place.

“So yeah, like. You probably should warn Sensei not to worry about Hizashi, because three genin and his twin are currently assaulting the desk. They are completely certain that you want to kill him, you know as opposed to fucking him.”

The mortified sound Hizashi made the mental scarring Jiraiya almost worth it.
