Sirius Black is the outsider of his family who chafes against the rigidity of pureblood society and the expectations of being the Black heir.

In a last ditch effort to bring him into line, Arcturus Black has negotiated a match with a pure-blood Italian girl.

Set against the lush backdrop of Wizarding Italy family tensions simmer and come to a boiling point.

This is the story of the week leading up to Sirius leaving his family, setting Regulus on the path of destruction.

The Dog and Deer Detective Agency

If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.

I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.

"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"

It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.

Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.

This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.

THIS THIS THIS

Look, I write A LOT.

I work with heritage organizations professionally, helping tell their histories in engaging ways. It's important work, but it's faceless. My name isn't on most of what I write.

But fanfiction? Fanfiction is an act of COMMUNITY. I write fan fiction because I want to connect with others, to explore our common humanity. These are my words, and they do belong to me, but they belong to YOU too.

If no one interacts with my work, it isn't that it bruises my ego or whatever. It is that I am not making the connection. I share my words because I want to TALK TO YOU about it. And in fact, the community I create in my fan spaces gives me the energy to do the faceless work that I believe is very important but isn't validating to me personally in the same way.

Please, comment, leave kudos, ask questions! Humans are social creatures, so let's socialize.

Exactly!
