Stay Tuned

One-Year-Old Isabela

Agustín sat at the piano, clacking away at a melodious tune. He got lost in playing fairly often as his fingers swiftly graced the keys while Julieta and baby Isabela prepared for bed. Some people read before bed to relax, he enjoyed playing a few songs before bed. As he kept playing, a slight interruption occurred. A gentle tug on his pant leg signaled someone was in his presence. A glance down, a tiny face greeted him with a smile.

"Pa," the tiny baby babbled with a wide grin.

Agustín beamed at her, lifting his sweet baby up into his lap. Excited, Isa slapped the keys to the piano. A sound that would make most musicians cringe, he let his little girl play on the keys. Notes flew out from the most thunderous sound to the brightest bing as Isa played. Leaning against the doorframe, Julieta watched the duo clack away on keys. She could hear the encouraging words of her husband speaking softly to their baby.

"Like this, amor," Agustín gently pressed down on the key.

Isa giggled, resulting in more keys being pushed and more fun sounds filling the room. The duet’s laughter and the piano created the perfect melody for Agustín. Here was his sweet baby girl playing happily on the instrument he loved so much. He could only hope she would embrace a love for music like him. Watching his happy baby giggling and smiling, Agustín never wanted the moment to end.

Five-year-old Isabela

"Here is the new sheet music that I came up with. Go ahead and give it a try," He encouraged.

Isabela studied the music and began playing, "Papí, this note doesn't make sense here. It should sound like this," She said, hitting a different key.

He focused and asked her to play the original and the slight change. She played it twice as he listened intently.

"Ay Isa, you are a natural. That sounds much better," Agustín smiled.

Isabela beamed at her father's words. He could feel her pride fill the room as she began to play again. Every note was hit with such grace at the right time. A smile appeared when he noticed the flower petals dance along the keys. It had only been a few months of her newly acquired flower power but a clear indication that Isa was happy playing. Everything from the sound to the petals showed that the little girl was feeling good and at peace. Another moment that Agustín was sure he never wanted to let go of.

Ten-year-old Isa

"It's okay, it isn't perfect," Agustín reassured, turning the sheet music back to the beginning.

The song he had Isabela playing was a challenging piece of music. It wasn't easy, but he would attempt to have her play it. She was so gifted at the piano that he wanted her to at least try.

A frustrated sigh came from her mouth, followed by, "Why can't I get it? It isn't supposed to sound like that!"

She slammed the keys resulting in an unpleasant sound and flower petals fluttering everywhere. He sat back as Isabela's elbow leaned on the keys. Her head fell into her hand as she looked down, not facing her father. She sat there tracing the keys with her fingers.

He sighed. Her perfectionist tendencies have always been there, but since her gift ceremony five years ago, her perfectionism had been in overdrive.

"It's not going to be perfect the first time you play it," Agustin states.

Isabela continued looking down, "I'm not going to get it, Papí. I keep messing it up."

"Isa," He whispered, "I know it's hard. It just takes a little while to learn it. It took me some time to learn this piece."

"It has to be perfect!" She snapped. "I am trying, and it isn't turning out! It has to be perfect, Papí!"

Agustín sighed, pushing her hair off her face. His heart hurt at his daughter's frustration. He would never bring up his own frustrations about how much pressure was put on his daughter to uphold a standard at the mere age of ten. He took a breath and began to comment, "Mi flor, you will get this. Give it some time. I know you can do it. I want to remind you that it's okay when things aren't perfect. Sometimes things take time, and that's okay too." He gave her a reassuring smile.

Isa looked up at her dad and gave him a big grin. She vowed, "Okay, Papí. I will keep practicing, and it will be okay." She began to play the piece again, not getting frustrated when she hit the wrong key, or the timing was off. Agustín would always be his girls' biggest cheerleader in moments of doubt and uncertainty. A constant in their corner.

Fifteen-year-old Isabela

Julieta listened intently to how excited Agustín was for the new piece of music he found to play with Isabela. His voice practically sang. Julieta smiled at how happy her husband was that their eldest daughter played piano with him once a week since she was little.

She darted through the kitchen out of the door, not even acknowledging her parents, who stood there.

He jumped up and hollered after the blur that was his daughter, "Isa! Wait, what about your lessons today?"

She froze and turned slowly, "Abuela needs me to put some floral pieces together for the Contreras's engagement party."

"Well, I can go with you and help, then we can practice," Agustín suggested.

"No, thank you, Papí," Isabela muttered. "Plus, I think it's better if I go by myself. We wouldn't want any accidents." She shrugged, giving her parents a half smile. As soon as the words left her mouth, Julieta closed her eyes, knowing they would hit him like a dagger.

A wave of devastation slapped him in the face. He stared at Isabela with hurt in his eyes. Looking away, he whispered, "Okay, Isa. Have fun."

Julieta watched their daughter leave before looking at Agustín, who had already left the kitchen. Her heart broke for the two of them. Agustín just wanted to spend time with Isabela and do what they always enjoyed doing. However, the little girl, who spent time with her papí, was growing up.

20-Year-old Isabela

Agustín sat at the piano, scribbling some notes on the composition paper. Isabela walked by the music room when he looked up.

"Isa!" He called to her, "Play some bars with me. For old time's sake?"

She paused and grinned, "Okay, Papí. I'll play." Agustín lept up, trying to play it cool.

"Alright, I just threw this together. Try it out." He set up the music on the piano ledge. She looked over the music, sitting down on the bench. Isa studied the music intently while placing her fingers on the keys to play. Like old times, she started to move among the keys. Playing like she never stopped, her father watched excitedly. She fell into playing the melody perfectly. A big smile draped across her face, a smile that Agustín hadn't seen in a long time. A familiar scent found its way to his nose, the smell of heliconia, as flower petals flooded the keys. Agustín followed the music, bouncing between the sheet music and Isa’s delicate fingers. Every now and then, a chuckle or word of encouragement fell from his mouth. Soon, their moment was interrupted by the matriarch of the family.

"Isabela, what are you doing?" Alma asked.

The young woman shot up, fixing her dress. "Ay, I'm sorry, Abuela. I was on my way–."

"I asked her to play the new bars I wrote. It was my fault," Agustín confessed.

"Be sure that you finish your chores before playing around. Señora Guzmán is expecting flower samples for her granddaughter's wedding bouquet," Alma declared, adjusting her earring before walking out.

Isa looked away shyly, upset that she had let herself get distracted. She hurried out of the piano room.

"Sorry, Papí. I have to go. I'll see you at dinner!"

"Isa, I am sorry! I didn't mean to distract you!" Agustín yelled out for her, but Isa was out the door. A wave of disappointment crushed his heart.

22-Year-Old Isa

Agustín had finished organizing the music room in the newly built Casita. Since the fall, the family spent their days rebuilding Casita and making amends with one another. Apologies allowed among the family members allowed them to bond about things. Agustín was happy that his family began repairing their relationships with one another. Mirabel and Isabela cultivated a better relationship with each other that created a better relationship between the Madrigal sisters. Alma and Mirabel amended their relationship after several serious conversations. His heart soared that his family could bounce back after many years of differences. His heart bursted with gratitude at the thought his family healing. He finished placing the last tiple on the wall, startled by a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see his eldest daughter smiling at him.

"Hola Papí," Isa grinned, looking around the room. "It looks great in her better than it did before! I like how the tiple wall looks."

"Ay, thank you. I wanted to try something new," Agustín shrugged, looking at the wall. "I figured that the wall could use more decoration. Why not decorate them with instruments?"

"I like it a lot. Very aesthetically pleasing to the eye,” Isabela beamed before whispering, “Umm, can I talk to you about something?"

"You know you always can. I'm always in your corner. I'm here to listen to you." He was always the best listener, giving his full attention to whoever he was talking to.

"I would like to start off with an apology. Papí, I am sorry that I stopped playing piano with you."

"Isa," Agustín sighed. "You don't need to apologize."

"I do, though. Time always got away from me because of my chores. I never had time to do what I wanted like okay the piano and spend time with you. I hurt your feelings too. I worried about my image that I struggled with wanting to be around anything that could disrupt my image," Isa confessed. "I'm so sorry, papí." Tears rolled down her cheek as exasperated sighed fell from her mouth. Engulfing her in a giant embrace, she cried even harder.

"You have nothing to apologize for, mi flor," her father comforted, hugging her. "I was never upset with you. At times, my feelings would be hurt but I never blamed you. You were growing up. No one wants their embarrassing dad around them."

"I missed playing piano with you. I’m so for everything," she cried, wiping her face, trying hard to collect herself.

Agustín held his daughter, whispering that it would be okay and there was no reason to feel guilty. He assured her that they would be alright and his love for her would never falter no matter what.

Isa pulled away, looking up at her father with a great feeling of admiration. "Pa, do you know what would make me feel better?"

"What's that, mija?"

Isa walked over to the piano and pressed a key. A grin crept on her face, "Do you have time for a piano lesson?"

Agustín's sudden smile lit up the room erasing all the memories of lost time. He leaned against the piano, "Of course. What would you like to play?"

I just wanted to write a wholesome father daughter moment between Isabela and Agustín. @sophiasi1172 told me that it is possible Isa pushed her father away because he is so accident prone. She didn’t want her father to harm her perfect image.

Almost a Squib

Status: Complete

Wordcount: 47k

Rating: K

Harry has just enough magic to get into Hogwarts and barely enough to pass wand-based subjects like charms and transfigurations. He needs to use his other skills like sharp wit, hand to hand combat, familiarity with potions and inventiveness to make up for his shortcomings in the power department.

The story is a rehash of the 7 years with a unique take on solving challenges through the combination of smarts and technology. Some worldbuilding elements like the Kwikspell correspondence course are brilliant and other rather crude like the liberal use of dungbombs to solve various problems. I wished the fic was less of a crack-story and explored more in depth the capabilities of squibs who can wield magical items and are fluent both in wizarding and muggle culture. In this story being a squib is just a vehicle for showing out of the box thinking and ingenuity without doing into any socio-cultural discourse.

With limited length, there is not much space left for characterization, we rush from one adventure to another. It is expected for the reader to fill in the blanks with their own canon knowledge.

It was a pleasant surprise to see Argus Filch in a more prominent role. I also enjoyed to trope subversion, because we've all read an overpowered Harry story more then once.

It's a light-hearted fic you may want to read for the laughs.

6/10

why do i miss something i never had

Read on AO3 | Read on FFN.net

Summary:

Voldemort, the bad guy, the villian, the antagonist craved the only thing he has never had. Magic.

Squib!Voldemort AU

//excerpt from chapter 1//

The curses Voldemort fired at him at the graveyard perfectly matched the color of Dudley’s laser, but did not match fake-Moody’s demonstration or Peter Pettigrew’s cruse at Cedric.

HP headcanons i found on reddit part 2

Oliver Wood and Marcus Flint end up on the same Quidditch team, get into a fight in the locker room when they find out they're on the same team, and then kiss because they actually have a shit ton of sexual tension.

The curse on the Defense position was anchored to Ravenclaw's Diadem.

Harry is Master of Death (when it fits).

Parselmouths have an affinity toward healing magic and that's why Voldemort is never seen using Parseltonue spells because he has no inclination toward healing.

Harry is still a Parselmouth after he dies.

Astronomy is mandatory for all students until fifth year because it is intermingled in almost all other pursuits of magic. Certain potions need to be brewed during this time of the year or this phase of the moon, certain ingredients (for both potions and herbology) are supposed to be gathered during a full moon or new moon, arithmancy takes into account star positions or whatever which helps with runes and spell creation, and all of this other shit that I don't feel like typing out.

Harry has rights to both the Slytherin and Gryffindor name. Gryffindor shares a lot of characteristics with Lily (the red hair and green eyes) and Harry conquered the last heir of Slytherin, making him the new heir of Slytherin via magic.

Luna isn't actually "loony" and the Quibbler is supposed to be read upside down with those glasses she's always wearing. The Quibbler spouts nonsense most of the time to hide the fact that they're actually publishing stories that contradict the government. Not necessarily my headcanon, but something I picked up after reading a fanfiction and full-heartedly agree with.

The Potters are technically a Most Ancient and Noble House but aren't a part of the Sacred 28 because their last name is a common Muggle name. They're descended from the Peverells, who were very powerful in their own right.

The Potters and Longbottoms have been allies for years.

Neville's Mum was Alice Smith, the last heir of Hufflepuff from a straight line, making Neville the heir to Hufflepuff. Hermione is from a Squib line from Dagworth-Granger and she is the heir to Ravenclaw. Harry is the heir to Slytherin or Gryffindor (or both) via his mum or dad (or both). Or Ron is the heir to Gryffindor (because he's a true Gryffindor in personality) and his brothers aren't the heir because all of the heirs must be in the same Hogwarts year because why the hell not?

Snape's hair is super greasy because of potions fumes.

Dean and Seamus are totally fucking. Same with Sirius and Remus.

Voldemort is batshit insane because he split his would numerous times until there was only a little sliver left. Bellatrix is insane because she's done a shit ton of Dark Arts and they corrupted her.

Wizards used to celebrate the "Old Ways" or Pagan holidays, but Dumbledore voted on pro-Muggleborns and he thought that it was rude to have Muggleborns accept non-Christian holidays so he removed the celebrations from Hogwarts, instead incorporating Christian holidays to make the Muggleborns "feel welcome" and having all of the "dark" families celebrate the holidays in their own time. Dumbledore tried to get Muggleborns and Purebloods to accept each other, but since he's not a politician, he went about it the wrong way. Instead of having them all accept one another, he said that purebloods must accept Muggleborns (by incorporating Muggle Studies and removing wizarding holidays) instead of teaching Muggleborns about the wizarding world. The result is that the Ministry now believes the Old Ways are dark but the rest of Europe celebrates pagan holidays and that's why there's the traditional Yule ball (that was celebrated before Dumbledore voted to remove pagan holidays after Grindlewald or Voldemort's first reign) instead of a Christmas ball.

Harry is not completely "light" because he is very good at Dark spells. Sectumsempra is a dark spell that he mastered on the first try.

Harry joins the Auror corp for a few years to find the rest of the Death Eaters before retiring to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Small thing I doodled in class earlier because I had this song stuck in my head. I need to post a full timeline of my plot for Vincent and Snape sometime cus I imagine this probably doesn't make much sense 😭 but basically I was brain rotting thinking about how in the time after Snape kills Dumbledore, Vincent thinks he betrayed him and spirals out of control. And of course Snape is at school miserable too, wishing more than anything that he could tell him why he did it 😭

At first I just wanted to draw what Vincent would look like all thin and worn after escaping Azkaban (he resisted going to trial to have his wand taken because he's muggle born. Well muggle and squib technically but he has no way to legally prove it to the corrupt ministry).

Hopefully this makes sense 😭 I'll post a timeline or something some day for anyone who is curious. I'm trying to write a fanfiction about them too but lord knows if I'll ever post that LOL

I was thinking earlier about squibs and JKR’s flawed rendering of disability in the HP books — and how, sort of in spite of her, exposition about the anti-squib nature of the magical world might actually serve as a sound allegory for social modeling of disability irl — so I perused the internet and found this really interesting academic article about Filch, Arabella Figg, and the quiet pervasiveness of abeism which underlies the series.

I particularly enjoyed this passage at the end, which I think really drives home what can be so radically good about fanfiction. highly recommend reading

#it's a short article!#which should make it more enticing!#shoutout to ms Meghan Rhodes at GW for writing this #discourse #i also have a lot of thoughts about the magical world as a social model for disability #they are half formed but they center around how pointedly indulgent the HP magical world is #as in: so many of the things that are done with magic are done so #for very little reason other than to do them with magic #and i think that reflects the way that tech and development are pointedly exclusionary #towards disabled ppl irl — based on the theory that disability reflects a macro problem #of a state's inability or unwillingness to accommodate people of all ranges of mobility etc #and is not at all an individual-centered issue #anyway i ramble but #pls read this!#esp fic writers who incorporate these characters!

So I have a DP x HP idea,

Danny and Draco twins AU

So like when Narcissa was first pregnant they go see a doctor who says "Congratulation, they're twins !!!" Narcissa and Lucius freak out. There is a curse in the Malfoy blood, of every pairs of twins one will be a squib.

And it's not like they won't love thwir children even if they're a squib because they good parents (not good people) but with the political climat...

Will she is still pregnant they start to chearch for good people to take care of Danny and take him back later (Lucius know about the prophecy and now bet on it for his child).

At birth they use a banned blood rtual to see wich child is a wizard.

Draco is the wizard and Deneb is not.

Cue Danny get taken by the Fenton who have alredy adopted a little girl from Englend.

One year after the Dark lord is defeted and the Malfoy are overjoyed, even is their little boy won't have a perfect lives in the wizarding world at least he will be with them.

So they go in Amity Parck but then they learn something that change everything ;

Danny is a creature

The spell on the Malfoy lineage has let a hidden bloodline on the black side take over Danny D.N.A, so in the end they leave Danny with the Fenton but come back to see him every summer.

They leav him because it's even more dangerous for a creature born from wizard in the wizarding englend that for a squib

Everythin goes like in the serie and the book, only in HP book 5 the order that the Malfoy yearly trip to the US hide something. Cue someone his send in Amtiy Park, of course the Death eater discover it and sent someone too.

Because of that Danny get kidnapped to the UK by the order and he hates them for that.

Some more information :

- Amity park is a city with so much magical people that every muggles that live here know about magic

- When first created Amity park has a big magical immigration in and with time and now it's a magical majority

- Tucker is a were-lion

- Sam is a muggle

- Wes is a seer and psychic

- Draco with the big muggle that Danny was he becomes a some sort of goth

- Even if he his still sh*t at school it's only a cover to protect his brother

- Jazz is the daughter of Fabian Prewett, when her father died her mother has given for adoption

- Jack Fenton is a squib and Maddie a muggle

Addition : forgot but I took the name Deneb for Danny from the fanfiction Stars Aligned by Marsalias

Nelli's Birthday Recs

All credit for this lovely idea goes to @lumosatnight. It's my Birthday today and I want to share some quality stories with you to enjoy. Especially, in those last two years fanfiction and fandom in general became a safe haven for me. A very welcome escape from reality and overall joy in general. So thank you for this 💛

Just like Lani, I'll introduce 12 stories and authors (for each day in July leading up to my Birthday). Except for one, they're all Ron-centric (no surprises there but you probably follow me for that exact reason, so...I guess it's fine ;)). I can only encourage you to read these stories as well as checking out their writer profiles for more.

And I'll never get tired of saying this: Leave Kudos & comments if you enjoyed reading a story. No matter how old the story is, no matter how many Kudos and comments there are already, your comment will make a writer happy. Always (imagine this in a Severus Snape/Alan Rickman voice)!

This is not sorted by ship at all. So, scroll through the whole list, please. Pairings: Romione, Rarry, Kron, Perciver, and a selection of many different pairings from the microfics I recommended.

Holidate by @accio-broom [M, Ron x Hermione, WIP]

Fed up with being single for the holidays, two close friends agree to be each other's platonic plus ones all year long. But will they catch real feelings along the way?

This story updates on every major holiday and finishes on Christmas 2022. If this isn't the coolest idea?

My Microfic May 2022 by @curlyy-hair-dont-care [various ratings and pairings]

Her submissions to @microficmay 2022 were such a delight to read and I was looking forward everyday to read one of these lovely stories.

The Romione, Blairon, and Marthur fics were my favs but all of them are great.

A Perfect Birthday Morning by @hillnerd [M, Ron x Hermione, 1k+]

Ron's 34th Birthday.

Hilly isn't just one of my favorite artists ( @hillnerd-art) but also a great writer. She also organized hangouts during the panini which were such a life saver, especially in 2020.

A Muggle Cliché by @cescalr [T, Ron x Harry, 8k+]

Harry Potter. The squib son of James and Lily Potter. The nephew of Sirius Black.

Ron is never going to hear the end of this from the twins, he realises, with great despair. In his defence, Harry Potter should be dead.

I can't stress enough how great of a concept this is and how well-written this story is, especially how Harry is written.

what you know about love (i got what you need) by @playitaagain [M, Ron x Harry, 6k+]

Ron shows Harry that it's okay to seek comfort, to have someone hold you. He allows Harry the space to cry while showing him how much love can be found in another person's nonjudgmental support.

Five time Ron initiates comforting Harry and one time Harry seeks out comfort.

Beautiful story with the 5 + 1 prompt. (Just as a FYI, I still get notification for this story on the @harryronfest blog almost every day :)).

Treacle Treat by @orange-peony [E, Ron x Harry, 30k+]

Fred's funeral turns out to be quite lovely, Harry thinks, in spite of how heartbroken they all feel. Everyone says something nice or funny about Fred, trying to remember the good moments. Harry can’t get the words out, but Ron is by his side, the back of his hand pressed against Harry’s, his eyebrows scrunched up as he sobs quietly.

“Stay,” Ron whispers after dinner, when everyone gets ready for bed, pale faces looking empty and wiped out. “Don’t go back to Grimmauld Place. Stay here, Harry. Please…”

Harry nods, then follows Ron upstairs, to the room where they’ve spent countless summer evenings, chatting in bed with a laugh and a cheeky grin on their faces.

They lie in the dark in silence this time, and Harry feels so cold.

So much angst, so much smut, so much love. So much of peony's beautiful writing.

A Heart So Colourful by @lumosatnight [E, Ron x Viktor, 1k+]

Rita Skeeter’s article dropped on Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday morning, it was posted all over Hogwarts. Not even Filch’s personal quarters had been overlooked (though why a student would risk sneaking in there, Merlin only knew). By Thursday, even the professors were talking about it. By Friday, the Minister, himself, was Flooing his associates across the pond.

Viktor Krum was gay, and he had asked Ronald Weasley to the Yule Ball.

This is so cute and a really lovely idea. Also shout out to Lani for getting me into writing again with microficmay.

Perfect Strangers by @adenei [T, Ron x Hermione, 5k+]

Ron Weasley is just like any other University student: he attends his classes, plays for the football team, and spends much of his spare time working at the coffee shop that's owned by his best mate's parents. What will happen when an ordinary shift brings in a new customer?

I might have mentioned that I love Coffee Shop AUs right? This here also comes with a Jily lives bonus and adenei's amazing writing.

In Which Landon Is Accidentally Observant, and Peters Misses Quidditch for No Good Reason at All by @constitutionalweasleymonarchy [T, Percy x Oliver, 3k+]

The arguments between Percy Weasley and Oliver Wood are so legendary, a mere glare is enough to clear out the dormitory. The problem is, Landon and Peters live here, too.

(A 7th year Perciver from the POV of their dormmates.)

Usually, I recommend A Counterpoint to Working Lunches by RGF but this story made me laugh so much and I was absolutely delighted about the new ship name she came up with for Perciver.

Right Here, Right Now by @cheesyficwriter [M, Ron x Hermione, 1k+]

Ron and Hermione share a tender moment under the stars during the summer following the Battle.

This was written for the @romioneficfest 2021! As every story written for this lovely fest, cheesy's story warmed me from the inside out when I first read it.

The Handyman by @reallybeth9 [M, Ron x Hermione, 2k+]

She gave me another one of those tight-lipped smiles, and I realized that I desperately wanted to see what one of her real smiles looked like.

“It’s nice,” she said. “Or it will be once it’s decorated.”

I wanted to ask her if she could help me decorate it but I held my tongue, knowing that it would be an inappropriate thing to ask.

Smutty goodness with a twist but you have to see for yourself.

The Quiet by @be11atrixthestrange [T, Ron x Hermione, 1k+]

A father/son shopping trip turns into an understated moment of bonding.

This story will not just make your Romione shipper heart happy but you'll also find yourself shipping an entirely new pairing. My personal headcanons about Hugo's character were also shaped by this story. And Dad!Ron is always a treat, isn't it?
