"Free Lily." "Lily would never marry a man." Damn, sorry to break it to you, but she already did. Willingly. Because she loved him. And had a child with him. And died protecting the product of their love. But sure, go off.
two old idiots share a house for the first time in years
whoops my finger slipped and i did something silly (yes im working on the requests dw)
Remus has always convinced himself he just prefers to be alone. That’s why he gets overwhelmed in parties or feels so small in crowded rooms. That’s why he has gotten used to spending time on his own instead of forcing himself to interact with people.
That is, until Sirius Black appears in his life, and his “alone time” means never being alone again.
Because, as he calmly reads a book, his hand will find its way to a cascade of dark curls and he will enjoy a soft, familiar humming as background music.
As he goes for a walk, he will share one of his headphones with a warm presence next to him and he will blush every time his hand brushes long, cold fingers, and his pinkie intertwines with his other half.
As he needs to cry, gentle arms will wrap around him and a firm caress on his back will remind him he is safe, home.
Next to Sirius, he learns company can be loud, chaotic and exhilarating, but it can also be sweet whispers, a comforting but shared silence and the constant reminder that he, Remus Lupin, can be loved the way he is.
Sirius: I am PUNK, I am SCARY, I am INTIMIDATING, I am a LETHAL WEAPON, I BOW TO N-
Remus: Yes, darling, I'm sure *grabs them by the neck and kisses*
Sirius: *melting* I am also pathetically in love..-
Pick a fun line of dialogue and just cut it there. End the chapter or plonk in a scene break and move on.
Interrupt whatever's going on. You can customize the interruption to the genre of your fic, but it could be as simple as a phone call or a knock on the door or as complex as a parachuting velociraptor wielding a machete. Now your characters have to deal with *that* instead of wrapping up whatever they were doing before.
Find a parallel to another character who isn't there and use that as a transition to write about them in *their* scene. Two characters are mourning the end of their relationship? Smash cut to another character looking at a photo of a lost loved one. Character is in an angst spiral over a decision they need to make? Switch over to someone staring at a coffee shop menu in confusion.
Change the perspective. There's a fight going on and you're tired of writing it? Well, now you cut to a character on the other side of the wall who can hear some weird noises. They can choose to investigate or ignore, as you see fit. You don't want to write smut but your characters are making out pretty heavy now? Their roommate in the room next door decides now would be a great time to take the dog for a walk.
Get to a moment of tension and just... stop. End the chapter. Congratulations, you just wrote a cliffhanger. You can pick up the next chapter at any point you want (conveniently getting you past the tricky thing you weren't sure how to write). Bonus: you might have people yell at you in the comments 😈
Ending a scene early is a great way to get yourself out of a block. Conveniently, it's also an interesting way to write a story.
Feel free to add more ideas in the notes.
