Oh September, How You Have My Heart.

Memory Musings

Her heart stilled as she thought of him.

The shine in his chestnut eyes as he laughed at something she said.

Running a hand through his hair as he tried to think of the right words to say.

He was frozen in her memory, forever a twenty-something man with a smile that stopped her in her tracks, and always had.

She wondered if he still thought of her.

If it made him ache to imagine her still singing along to that song.

If it made him feel just as sad to know that memories of each other will fade as they both get older; that jokes shared in the back of a car, late night text chats, and whispered secrets would soon become distant fever dreams of a life that could be.

that one scene in devil wears prada where Andy says that she would have never betrayed anyone like Miranda betrayed Nigel at the end in order to save herself and her position on top in the fashion industry and Miranda Priestly is quiet for a beat before she whispers in that lilt whispy voice ”you already did”…..that was a better written psychologically dynamic scene between two characters than most modern hero/villain scenes you see today in cinema

me trying to decide which of my fav dramione fics to reread tonight

This is adorable.

But also, I'm fairly convinced that toorumlk should be illustrating the entire series and that I would rebuy every book.

Yes! I keep saying he's my fancast for Auror Draco in my head and people go, "Sorry? Who?"

Thank goodness. I've found my people, clearly.

on my dramione hyper fixation again !!!

I made this 😁 and I am so proud of it. My fan cast for Draco is Danny Griffin, please do not judge my decision it is just my opinion. Thank you!

Also if anyone has any fan fic recommendations for me, that would be wonderful!! I just finished Various Storms and Saints and I am not okay, I need more.

Also I think the song Fornight by Taylor Swift fits them SO WELL!!! Omg fr fr

I would be so interested in a prequel that shows Madoc's backstory, what happened with his first wife, and how he and Oriana came to be together. I reckon it would be more political/adventurous, but still. I think it would be so interesting to see how his moral compass actually works and to know more details about what happened to lead to the events of the main series.

Spoilers for The Prisoner’s Throne

Not Madoc giving me the most emotional responses in this book. 🥹

Listen, Madoc is the most complex, the most morally grey, the most treacherous, and yet, I adore him.

I need more writer friends. I need soundboards. I need to know that my characters aren't driving me insane.
