He couldn't tell who hugged whom first.
Standing in front of the fireplace, they melted into each other in a way he hadn't known possible. That unfamiliar feeling carved a path inside Cedric that he knew he would take frequently from now on. A mixture of peace and storm at the same time, one of those that devastates you in its path and nothing is the same ever again.
The order did not matter, because after that prior conversation so…
Intimate and not at all reassuring, it was all Cedric wanted to do.
Unable to move away, he held on tightly and closed his eyes, letting himself be carried away by the lightness that filled him when feeling Harry's hands behind his back, encircling Cedric with his head in the crook of his neck. It seemed acceptable to say goodbye like that: the limits of their friendship had expanded, as if they had leveled up.
Acceptable for one minute.
The side game where Cedric had his heart in his mouth and so many trapped emotions was another matter.
Two and he stopped counting.
The pounding in his chest was all he could make out as Harry stepped back a few inches. With his face so close to his and his big green eyes watching him with an intensity he could only think must match his own, he heard him murmur his name.
“ Cedric. ”
Like a whisper.
A warning.
And maybe it was because all summer he had Harry in his head.
Because he couldn't escape that bubbly feeling all night.
Because he would have sworn that Harry Potter was about to kiss him, Cedric leaned in an instant, breaking the short distance between them. Harry’s lips were so soft against his, warm and the pressure of his hand on the fabric of his shirt, as if Harry was holding on to him…
Cedric had never felt like this in his entire life.
Trembling, alert and lost at the same time.
Each movement ignited a sensation that grew more compelling. That was the way Cedric would have ever imagined his first kiss. The need that came with each one caught him off guard and it might as well have been ten minutes or ten seconds before Harry pulled away for air.
Then they looked at each other.
What had they just done?
----------------------------------------------
I'm honestly committed to find and post my favorite moments <3
Ao3: Always Yours
Pairing: Cedric x Harry
Ao3: “The boy in my dreams” (Chapter 2)
“You have… Umh, quite a few fans. Admirers," he pronounced, looking at Cedric out of the corner of his eye before assuring, "Girls really seem to like you.”
Cedric raised an eyebrow, impressed by so many reasons. First of all, the vast majority of students supported Harry. Since he had been chosen as a seeker in first year (an incredible achievement), he was without a doubt the star. And he had a good winning percentage. People liked to gamble on winners. Cedric might be popular but he was no sports star. He meant to tell him that, but…
He had something better to ask.
"What about boys?"
So I really wanted to write an Hedric story.
Started off as what I thought would be a short one…
My wish list was:
Unexpected place for their first kiss
All the semi canon (?) moments, like the prefects bathroom ;)
Oh I love so much the goblet of fire trope I-thought-it-would-be-you-under-water in the second task
An epic kiss
Time travel because why not?
I got bored and decided to write some questions for fanfic authors!
[Here’s a Twitter friendly version!]
🍐 Do you listen to music when you write? If yes, what kind? If no, why not?
🍊 Do you have a trusted beta reader or are you more of the ‘Not Beta Read We Die Like Men’ type?
🍏 First person or third person?
🍎 Past tense or present tense?
🍌 How long do your fics tend to be? Short and sweet? Or novel-length?
🫐 Mutli-chapter or one-shots?
🍍 Rarepairs? Yea or nay?
🍈 In character or out of character?
🍉 Favorite trope? What’s a cliche that you just love?
🍆 Do you like reading/writing ABO?
🍓 OTP(s)?
🥝 NOTP?
🍋 Fluff or smut? Or both?
🌶 Does angst get you excited? Or does it make you wanna crawl into a hole and just cry?
🥭 How do you come up with fic ideas?
🥥 Are you a planner or do you just write by the seat of your pants?
🍒 Do you title your chapters?
🍑 Overused words or phrases that just make your eye twitch?
🍇 What’s something that you struggle with as a writer?
🥑 Any writing advice?
and in my head
there is only you
and i don't get why.
i don't know if i want to
run away or
sink deeper in it.
if i want to
get out
or in.
if i am afraid
of winning
or losing.
I don't have an AO3 account so I'm just gonna say it on here-I adore your current hedric fic! I've binge read it all so far in the last 2 days, and I've never read anything like it. It's the perfect mix of cute romance and an interesting plot. I usually don't like stuff involving time travel (or AUs in general) but this one is an exception! It works really well. I hope you enjoy writing this as much as I do reading it.
I very much enjoy writing it and I enjoy it just as twice when I get to know that someone else does too 💖 Thanks for taking the time to write me a message!
I wanted to create what I longed to read in a romance, and I'm so happy it's the perfect mixture of all my favorite things. There is still so much to explore and I'm so excited
Funnily enough, I would've never thought I'd write a time travel plot. I don't usually read that kind of stories either, but when I first came up with the idea I found it a little different from what I knew and it carried the fic towards. Even when the plot has been a challange in so many ways, it's worth it. And their relationship is so damn cute and it's what I love writing the most ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of your series Always Yours. I’m more of a Drarry addict but now I’m leaning to Hedric as well
I used to think there was only Drarry and then I noticed (thanks to a very special person) that Hedric would make such a good couple and since then I can’t unsee it.
So that’s how Always Yours happened.
Hope you enjoy their relationship future content <3
I am happy I got into a point in my life that if I don't like something, I say it. If something makes me uncomfortable, I communicate it. What that person does with that information is another matter.
Someone says something I disagree with? I respectfully share my opinion. I used to keep everything inside just to not cause conflict.
Someone says something that hurts me or I find rude? I speak up.
When my therapist asked me if I enjoyed it and I'm like yeah but, you know, it's hard work but yeah I do.
writing is the most insane hobby it's like,
is it easy? no
is it fast? also no
but is it fun? well,
better than drugs
