Title: Unseelie Heir 13 Jul 2025 3:19 am
Reviewer: queenrinacat (Signed) [Report This]

    slight panic you're right 

     

    HOLY SHIT WHAT A FUCKING ADVENTURE

    i cannot WAIT to see umbridge get what she deserves

    you know, harry's dormant unseelie heritage might explain part of the instant dislike to malfoy and v versa

    probably more instinctive on malfoy's side bc his heritage wasn't locked down

    and ofc malfoy reminded harry of dudley 

    still interesting

    also i LOVE that the consort heard what harry was saying and let him get away with saying what he just did

    they do want his cooperation

    a reluctant leader is never a good one, and one who feels completely coerced is liable to salt and burn the country

    but harry has just enough choice here to participate or not that while his position is unwilling, his participation is his choice

    brilliant brilliant brilliant story i am very afraid to go look and discover there is no more but either way i am so grateful for the hours of delight this gave me

    thank you for sharing with us the work of your hands and mind

    i'm guessing now is probably a good time to tell them where he is

    fudge might fall over himself apologizing or rush to announce where tobias is in hopes of mitigating the damage and currying favor

    oh man oh man umbridge just realized she's been torturing and drawing blood of the HEIR to the UNSEELIE THRONE

    i am so excited and so emotional and so hype and AAAAA I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS

    most of them are "nobody should be forced to be a full-time single parent AND full-time student, especially when they're fucking fifteen" and "less homework for a single parent is fully appropriate if they show they understand the subject matter and keep up in class"

    also i can't believe snape is really treating harry like this after finding out he's his son

    maybe his poor widdle feelings are hurt that harry doesn't think of him as his father but why should he? also even if harry knew snape does NOT fucking deserve it

    honestly? if harry said i have open wounds can i please not do this specific task but said it with james potter's face and lily's eyes i'm not convinced snape would have said okay rather than deal with it your detention is your fault and i'm not going to make allowances for things you did to yourself

    Madame Pomfrey was insisting that my wings were an unhealthy growth, and should be removed. Dumbledore seemed to disagree, but he also seemed to agree with Snape, who was convinced that they would be more valuable boiled into one of his potions. But then there was this weird shadowy King there, who said that the wings were an important symbol of my position in society.


    seems pretty straightforward


    madame pomfrey is a human who things of fae as unnatural and thinks tobias should try to fit in; snape and dumbledore want to use him while keeping him hidden; the unseelie king thinks he should be proud and show off /all/ that he is 


    alternatively, the unseelie king thinks of him as a showpiece and the wings are part of that


    you could interpret the dream as everyone wanting to change or use him


    make him normal, use his otherness, use him as a symbol


     


    i’m concerned zabini is unseelie, but general population


    and that he'd feel obligated to report tobias


     


    aahahaaa if umbridge tries to make him use the black quill tobias will flip out

    too bad sprout didn’t offer or explain but i bet harry could take arithmancy/ancient runes/whatever with the third years


    if he started with the third year class he’d graduate in time to take an OWL in the subjects, and could self-study for NEWTs if he wanted


    shame, though


    divination is a complete waste of time — unless the unseelie have a talent for it? but trelawney doesn’t actually TEACH anything as far as i can tell, beyond tasseomancy and crystallomancy with a crystal ball (the dream interpretation i’m not even counting) 


    hm. wonder how the creatures will react? might be difficult, though, because i imagine that the proper approach for a human is probably NOT the proper approach for an unseelie


     


    gdlfkjd he IS much less dangerous than a hippogriff or unicorn


    actually he's much less dangerous than literally any creature capable of causing harm


    with the exception of people who threaten mo ofc


     


    wonder if the other People will approach him the way Toby latched on?


    also i LOVE toby my precious little boy

    akela


    nice jungle book reference


    not a bad name for a girl, too


     


    aahahaa she's so fierce i love it


     


    also as a pr move hufflepuff is really smart; if there was any house that could render tobias not scary, it's hufflepuff


    ginormous with wings and teeth and horns and markings? dangerous


    ginormous with wings and teeth and horns and markings WEARING HUFFLEPUFF ROBES? completely harmless

    lupin is consistently a coward

    also it's fucked up of him to insist that this is something dumbledore had to know for harry's own safety when he endangered harry's safety by NOT TELLING ANYONE TO KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR A BIG BLACK DOG, BECAUSE SIRIUS BLACK IS A DOG ANIMAGUS

    HE KEPT THAT A FUCKING SECRET BECAUSE OF HIS OWN COWARDICE AND SHAME AND HARRY COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED

    if harry came across a dog and went hey boy! want a sandwich? and in a moment when nobody was looking sirius grabbed him and apparated away harry would be fucking done for

    fucking lupin 

    coward coward coward coward COWARD

    man snape is lucky harry decided against finding out who his biological father is

    a decision i commend him for, actually

    harry rightfully decided he didn't care who his sperm donor was, he already knew who his father was

    anyway if he had then oh man would snape be IN FOR IT

    anyway lupin only did that because he thinks of himself as human with an affliction, NOT People

    one of the People would NEVER have betrayed him like that

    COWARD!!!!

    i am very happy for tobias that he feels safe when molly holds mo

    hot damn

    if the unseelie have spies at hogwarts though and they hear about this tall guy with weird markings--unless there's a glamor that could hide the markings?--and a baby they're gonna go okay pseudonym tobias bâtard GOT HIM and he'll get snatched in hogwarts or in hogsmeade

    or maybe they'll find him and guilt him into coming but that's the queen's style

    the consort i'm pretty sure would just kidnap him

    also harry should be given private quarters it would be ludicrous to expect him to take care of a fucking baby in the dorms

Title: Daddy 13 Jul 2025 1:23 am
Reviewer: queenrinacat (Signed) [Report This]

    oh my god tobias


    and by complete accident too


    he may as well have called himself tobias’ bastard


    snape is gonna hear that and go oh my god i have a fucking half-brother and he’s  taunting me


     


    bats of any type are sacred to the sidhe,


    oh my god the dungeon bat does this mean snape looks like a bat on PURPOSE


     


    haven’t finished the chapter but sincerely hoping harry hangs onto the letter for a little while so they think he’s further away than he actually is


    also i have no idea if they have the ability to put a tracking charm on a letter and just haven’t yet or what but if they can harry doesn’t know enough to avoid it


    mostly i’m concerned about telling them the radius from their location by sending it back right away


    even smarter would be hanging onto it for different lengths of time, so it seems like he’s on the move


    they surely know the average time for a letter to go from hogwarts to diagon and back, and i don’t think there’s anything else with that distance from hogwarts that’s a place a wix can live


     


    you know the person might not report him but if the unseelie court does another sweep and specifically asks i doubt the little fae would feel it's safe to lie


    harry i wish you'd gotten it somewhere they wouldn't see markings


    idk if he has markings on his ankles but i was thinking that might work


    you know harry's a dumbass but he's also fifteen so


    hm


    the child is pretty distinctive


    i wonder if there are glamors or charms or whatever to hide the baby only?


    safer that way in general too in case he gets attacked nobody will be going straight for her
