She said I'll throw myself away...

As I have recently signed up for hd_erised and intend to sign up for hd_owlpost I thought I should finally get around to making one of these posts. (Also, I’ve just wanted to for ages!) Thank you so much to birdsofshore for allowing me to snag the layout from her post (which inspired me to make one of my own). P.S. Sorry the layout is so weird. I copied this from googledocs and to keep the format I went with the visual editor...never again!

DTH posted their reveals and it's time to claim my story!

Title: The Fear is Just an Illusion
Author: _melodic_
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Warning(s): Hand Jobs. Blow Jobs. Anal Sex. Angst. Hurt/Comfort. Alternating POV.
Word Count: 37,805
Summary: Voldemort is dead but the war is far from over. Draco, once again, is torn between protecting his family and doing what is right. Secret meetings, conflicting loyalties, and grey morals bring Harry and him together but it’s also what could threaten to tear them apart.

Lastly, I made a little mood-board to go along with this story. Feel free to check it out here on tumblr

My dearest shiftylinguini:

I hope you have the best birthday ever. As you know my HP muse has all but deserted me lately and I so badly wanted to write you some excellent smut but alas I failed. Instead, please accept this silly video I made you. I love you! <33

come join hp_crossgenfest!

Woohoo, prompting opens today for hp_crossgenfest. I hope to see you all there with your delicious prompts!


and a proper update from me is due soon <3

Even with all the TOS LJ drama going on I still have such a soft spot for this site. Before I had a myspace, facebook, youtube, and all those other sites, I had a livejournal (and a ff.net account, oh boy! haha). I remember you used to need an invite from an existing member and my childhood friend (who I am still friends with <3) invited me and then my entire group of friends (I wanna say I was a freshman in high school) all joined on. Back then I didn't bother with communities or anything like that--LJ was a fun social platform for all my HS friends to make posts, inside jokes, personal stuff, ect. Ugh it's so nostalgic just to think about. Now mostly all my friends have crosses through their usernames or haven't updated in many years but I still like to look back at those old posts.

Anyway, I'm rambling. I know I haven't been around since my last pseudo-cryptic ~I'm leaving~ post but even this past week away has been beneficial for me in a way. I hope I can fully recover and come back and be much more productive/active. Time will tell!

I just wanted to pop in briefly to mention I’ll likely be less active here on LJ/DW/IJ and in HP fandom. I’ve been a bit distant in the past few months for several reasons and (recent LJ drama aside) I’m finding that while a lot of this community makes me super happy there are a lot of parts that bum me out.

I’ll still be doing my modly duties and keeping in touch with those I message/email/g-chat with (your friendships mean the world to me) but I’m not sure how many more fests I will participate in or how often I will post here/interact here. Maybe time will tell.

Sorry for the dark vibes of this post--I don’t want to spread any negativity but just wanted to give everyone a heads up so it doesn’t seem like I’ve disappeared into thin air.

<3

I avoided this for as long as possible but here are some other places I can be found online in the case my journal gets deleted:

DW: x_melodic_x
tumblr: @mugglelissa
AO3: _melodic_(sae)
IJ: _melodic_

I suppose I will upload my masterlist and start cross posting to DW to play it safe.

For those freaking out (understandably so) I really reccomend actually reading the agreement. I've seen a lot of posts of major meltdowns where the user admits they didn't even read the agreement themselves. Yes it's time consuming, some parts are difficult to understand (and it all may not matter since the actual legally binding agreement is only available in Russian) but it doesn't hurt to give it a read before signing and then biting your nails and wondering what you may have agreed to.

As far as I can tell the agreement is not too different from other agreements when joining websites. Legally, you are only beholden to the laws of your resident country (as far as getting into trouble with the authorities) but the power to delete and purge your account (without any provided reason--I did read this part carefully) is up to the new ownership at LJ.

Long story short; the "worst" thing that could happen is your journal is deleted. Which is pretty terrible and makes me extremely sad since I've had this account since 2003. So, yeah I would reccomend backing up anything important and perhaps having an account at an other platform just in case.

Anyway, feel free to add me over at DW! Hopefully I can figure out the cross-posting thing.

Whoops, nearly forgot to post my March Masterlist. Better late than never!

Didn't write too much last month partly because I was out of the country for a bit and partly because I haven't been as inspired lately but I hope to get back into the swing of things come April.

And that was it! Total word count for March was ~8,395, that includes a gift fic written in March that won't be posted until later this week.
