Metamorphosis by Truthwatcher_Vez
Rated Teen, 3000 words, Masaka/Izzy Human girls liked cute things. Masaka liked cute things. …And Izzy, with her bleached-blonde hair and heart-shaped face and often-smiling lips, was very, very cute.
“I’m going to date an alien or two,” Izumakamo announced to the rest of the group, who were all gathered at their regular table at the Noodle Pupil noodle shop. She lifted her chin in determination. “It’s in my dramascope. I’d never date one who isn’t hot.”
Shocked silence fell all around the table. Tojin, Akane and Yumi were all staring at Izzy. Masaka was staring too, but for entirely different reasons.
Izzy was always saying startling, outlandish things. It was part of her personality. So it shouldn’t have been surprising that she’d used the news about the spaceship launch to share her opinions. But this.... Masaka felt a little dizzy at the revelation.
Izzy wants to date an alien?
Akane recovered first. “Your logic, Izzy, is… um....”
“Terrible?” Tojin spoke up.
“I was looking for something more politic.”
“Allegedly terrible?”
“You’ll see,” Izzy continued, completely unphased by their reactions. “When I have both a handsome alien hunk and a curvy alien knockout fighting over me.”
Masaka continued to stare at her, unable to look away. Alien… and female....

Reading List: September
The start of the month was all about Drarry Hurt/Comfort fest (recs are here), oldschool Marauders era fic (wolfstar, starcest & jily) and quite a bit of HP character meta, linked at the end. Then I started a reread of Captive Prince so I wanted fic. ❤️ denotes favourites.
>> August recs <<
Captive Prince
💆🏼 The Tall Kingdom I Surround by yekoc (Damen/Laurent, E, 3,7k)
The first time it happened, in the midst of battle preparations at Karthas, Damen had dismissed it as a momentary lapse. Laurent’s voice, issuing curt orders, and his own involuntary reaction: nothing more than force of habit, the instincts he had trained into himself, deliberately, in order to survive.
Nikandros had noticed then, and had let it go with the circumspect silence of a kyroi to his king. That was as it should be, Damen thought. It was not worth discussing. It was not even worth thinking about.
An exploration of the private, intimate power dynamics post canon. I love the thought of Damen
🌿 Bright as Lightning by blacktofade (Damen/Laurent, E, 33k)
Laurent, Prince of Vere, has always been promised to Damianos, Prince of Akielos.
Lovely arranged-marriage fic where Laurent comes to Akielos to fall in love and uncover plots.
📧 (Not) Meant For You by Holly_Golightly (Damen/Laurent, background Ancel/Berenger E, 151k)
Laurent is just trying to keep himself together and forget about what happened. Damen is trying to keep the press at bay and ignore the scandalous headlines. Auguste isn’t trying at all.
When Laurent sends a hookup text meant for his ex to his brother’s worst enemy, he unlocks a door to their shared pasts that might have been better left closed. With secrets, lies, and betrayals threatening to bring everything crashing down, Laurent has to decide how much he’s willing to risk and whether or not it’s a price he can afford to pay for his chance at a happy ending.
Modern nobility AU with high-octane emotions, blindingly hot smut, toxic exes, drama and secrets, a (very) complicated Damen & Auguste friendship, but an eventual happy end for all.

🪶 So You Sprouted Wings by @hoko-onchi-writes (Drarry, E, 8k)
Like human puberty, Veela puberty can come with its own pitfalls. Uh-oh! Is that a mood swing? Veela hormones are twice as strong as their human counterparts, so you may find yourself dizzily cheerful in the morning and despairing your wretched existence in the afternoon. Don’t worry. It’s all normal. It’ll smooth out over time. Healing sexual touch can help!
❤️🎻 Opus by Spessartine (Regulus/Sirius, E, 4k)
‘Play for me,’ says Sirius.
Mesmerising, shivery prose. So sparse yet it made my brain thrum and my breath catch. Their dynamic is so sharp and aching, and the description of Reg playing violin... jesus.
😠 Just Like Me by shaggydogstail (Sirius/Regulus, E, 2k)
Regulus hates Sirius. Or maybe he wants to be Sirius. Or maybe he just wants Sirius.
🍐 Loam by adistantsun + art by dustmouth (Wolfstar, Teddy, T, 7k + drawings)
Round a bend on Swanston Road, the house slips out from between the trees like it's playing hide and seek.
Teddy wants to know more about his father. So he goes digging.
🔎 Hiraeth by llassah (Wolfstar, M, 5k)
Hiraeth, noun. Welsh. A feeling of yearning to return to a place that may never have existed. An earnest desire.
During the first rise of Voldemort, Remus gets into the spying game. No one told him it would be quite this difficult to lie for a living.
🐕 A Fearsome Business by canis m. (Wolfstar, T, 20k)
Sirius lays low at Lupin's
I used to love lay low at Lupin's fics. This one is a good representation of that sense of fragile hope.
❤️🏰 The Last Enemy: The Howling Nights by CH_Darling (Jily, T, 208k)
It’s 1975 and war is simmering beneath the surface of the Wizarding world...but at Hogwarts, it’s magic as usual as the fifth years prepare for their O.W.L.s amidst politics, pranks, and other poor choices.
Severus Snape wants to prove his worth. Lily Evans wants a fresh start. James Potter wants Lily Evans, though no one is more surprised by this than him. Sirius Black wants to write himself a new story. Remus Lupin wants to survive the next moon. Peter Pettigrew just wants to keep up.
But as tensions bubble over, sides will be chosen, friendships destroyed, families parted, and paths forever altered.
I'm so impressed with how easily this slots into canon and how real (and true to canon) all the POV characters feel. I especially enjoyed Lily, Remus and Sirius.
