Just thought I'd leave this here lol.
-Average novel: anywhere from 60k to 100k words, over that is usually seen as too long
-Your always yours fics: 258k words and counting. The boy in my dreams alone is 61k.
Fun facts:
1) I inicially thought it would be a short story. I was so wrong. I can't for the hell of it write short stories, I don't know why. Except if it's poetry. I am such a sucker for anything romantic ✨
2) Like I know it seems like a super slowburn BUT it's so long that we get so much and I love it. I kinda miss writing The Boy In My Dreams, even when The Boy I Love feels so sweet too in a different and still wholesome way.
3) I wanted them to be a couple for at the very least the same amount of chapters they weren't together. I always wish for more relationship content. (And even funnier, they decided when it was about time, not me lol Harry and Cedric's love is so strong it goes againt outline.)
4) It's not over yet! I am not sure how many chapters are left, but just knowing it's not that far is both exciting and sad. It has been such a ride and there is so much more to happen.
Thanks for the message! I wonder how many words will it be, but at the same time I have more plans for them lol
At breakfast, all of his closest friends and a few others at the table greeted Cedric. Along the letters in the mail, he found some of his friends who had already graduated, his father and some distant relatives he saw every couple of years —and Harry's.
An excited heartbeat skipped on his chest.
Cedric read some of the letters right there.
His father's, Harry's...
He stopped at every word.
Ced, I hope you have a great time today.
I know that I will see you in person and I also plan to say hello, but I wanted to write to you.
I hope it's not weird or something.
I wanted you to know how much your friendship means to me and I wasn't confident in letting you know if I had to say it. I know I'm not the best friend anyone could ask for and I'm sorry. You’re important to me. I don't know if you know how amazing you are, and I don't mean all those things I've heard people talk about you. Yes, most of them are true, but I'm talking about the sides I know I've been lucky enough to know, all the things you told me about yourself and every secret you've confided in me.
It has been a privilege to bump into you that day. Thanks.
Or should I thank my own clumsiness for it?
Adore you, Harry.
Merlin.
He was falling so hard for this boy.
And Cedric could still feel that… he hadn't even hit bottom.

Sometimes you have to choose happiness.
This means writing fanfiction in the middle of the week instead of dealing with your responsibilities. Because otherwise there is no way you go through the rest of the week.
It ain't no lie, baby, bi bi bi ♫
This was the utmost fun!
I got to know a lot of tropes I haven’t hear before.
Thanks! @cielo-paradiso
I'm so tired of people being ashamed/embarrassed over the fanfiction tropes they like because of fear that others will disagree. So, I'm here and sharing all the tropes I like! Normalize sharing and talking about tropes that you like, its such a unifying thing across fandoms, and we should all celebrate our different preferences.
Make yours here!
Tagging a few mutuals! Feel free to participate or just ignore this if you aren't keen on sharing. @impishtubist @howtomakelovestay @immxrtalbi Have fun :)
Friend I'd just like to inform you that your always yours fics are so powerful that I, someone with a pretty short memory, am brainrotting about these literally like half a year after reading them.
Literally I wish you could see my face just now when I thought about this fic and found that it had been recently updated. I am over the goddamn moon.
Anyways I literally don't have the words to describe how much I love your always yours series.
It makes my heart melt knowing this, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and how much it helps keeping up the hard work. I try to post as regularly as I can.
I hope you enjoy the updates! There is so much more to happen... (me trying to be misterious)
PD: I have a pretty short memory too lol but I remember you 💛 and sometimes I really can't believe I am the one writing this fic that some people love, like damn it's all worth it.
Part 1
His father embarrassed Cedric when the topic of conversation he started upon meeting Harry was about the match they had played against each other, and he completely put aside Cedric's part where he established how their victory wasn't fair. He insisted that the best man had won, and words that once might have made Cedric feel validated now pained his expression.
"I'm sorry, my father…”
"He's proud of you," Harry said, not looking upset at all. “So you're gonna tell your grandkids about that match?”
“If I end up having those.”
"I imagine it as: children, Grandpa should tell you that once... a long time ago, when you weren't born... I beat Harry Potter in the most unfair way possible... and nobody let me correct it."
Cedric burst out laughing.
“Sounds pretty close to how it would be.”
"I would be honored if you tell your grandchildren about me."
“I'm sure most people will.”
Harry shrugged as if replying yeah, but still.
"If I had to tell them about a match, I'd prefer it to be a better one," Cedric admitted, somewhat intimidated because he suddenly thought that he would say: your grandfather was not only a friend of Harry Potter, but he had a little crush on him! Unrequited, of course. And there was the fact that he couldn't imagine a woman with whom he had children in the first place. “This year we’ll play on opposing teams again.”
"It will be difficult to play against you."
It didn't sound like the reason was his incredible flying skills.
"Would you let me win again?" Cedric teased sweetly.
"Only if you catch me if I fall again."
The subtle pressure on his chest was because he definitely would.

I totally love rewriting the canon moments <3

"See you soon," Cedric said as he passed.
Harry didn't manage to answer and just stared at him for a brief instant, unable to open his mouth. He even turned his head in the direction he left, as did Ron. "Why would he wish you luck? After what happened at the match?”
"We were on good terms after that," Harry explained, feeling a little guilty for never mentioning Cedric before. “We talked a few times.”
The puzzled expression on Ron’s face needed no words. “Are you two friends ?”
Harry shrugged. "I don't know, maybe.”
"Cedric Diggory," Ron was muttering unbelievingly as they resumed their march. “And you. Friends.”
In truth, Harry didn’t blush this time.
The size of the smile he wore for the rest of the day was too big for him.
He was partly glad Ron hadn't noticed.
What would he have said then?
Part 2
They sit together at the Quidditch World Cup and Harry accidentally places a hand over Cedric’s out of excitement when their team is winning
If seeing Harry wearing a badge that says “SUPPORT CEDRIC DIGGORY” isn’t enough to melt Cedric’s heart, then noticing that it turns into “THE HUFFLEPUFF OF YOUR HEART” definitely is
Harry falling asleep on Cedric’s shoulder in the library while they’re studying for the second task
I could spoil my whole fic this way. Girl get a hold on yourself please
And the last one hadn’t even been posted yet
