these fics make me Feel Things
this collection houses the fics that make me feel very specific things. oftentimes, the things that invite the particular feelings are depicted in works of fiction through the discussion on grief and mental illness, the complexity of humanity and morality, and musings on languages and cultures. and, of course, the overwhelmingly powerful nature of love and healing.

Summary
“You’re dressed fabulously,” she acquiesces. “You always are. But you don’t look good, Pans. You look… lost.”
“And you?” Pansy fires back.
Astoria laughs. A bitter, ragged thing that hurts Pansy’s chest. “I’ve been lost for years now, Pans. I think we all have. Difference is, I’m not pretending.”

Summary
She doesn’t think about Draco, locked up tight in his big old house with just his mother, his father on trial. Or Astoria, shoulders squared as she saunters through the halls of Hogwarts. She sinks down underneath the water, stubbornly opening her eyes despite the stinging chlorine and lets out a whoop that turns into a cry.
But she is underneath the water, and no one else can hear her.

Summary
There's a quiet sort of strength in going with the flow. It's easier and safer and, after going through so much in life, it seems far better than the alternative. When Alex Danvers, a singer and media-darling, walks into Fort Rozz Café, she puts an end to Astra's infinity of repetitive days. As the two embark in the intense endevour of memoir writing — all in the middle of a world tour — they find that ignoring one's past is far more difficult when someone else is interested in it.
Or the very long, very slow burn, famous!alex x writer!astra modern AU no one asked for.

Bookmarker's Notes
when astra said “we live in a place that chooses violence” and “i’m ashamed to be here, i’m ashamed to call myself a citizen of a place like that”. when astra gave up her country, her culture, her language. when astra said “i write because it is the only thing that is truly my own” because it was the only thing she had left after she gave everything else up for the promise of a brighter future only for max to take away everything she’s worked so hard to earn-
yes i see myself in astra, what about it -

Bookmarker's Notes
when ”you carry an apology in your chest, a silent unspoken i’m sorry that has somehow stitched itself into your spine, into your heart; into the strongest parts of you, because whenever you wonder where you came from, why you’re here, you think of that apology” described perfectly how i felt about where i came from and it was only page one. and when “you know what she means—your mother bought soy milk for three months after your father died; she would sit it on the shelf where it’s always been, and pretend she doesn’t cry a little when it goes sour without ever being opened” perfectly depicted the little ways in which grief bleeds into your daily life. and when this work inspired me to write the most personal fic i’ve ever written.

Summary
You close your eyes and pretend it’s tomorrow. “Promise me you’ll be okay?”
“Aren’t I always?” There's nothing glad about it, nothing happy.
