[From Litha to Lammas]: Ever Loyal, Harry/Ernie Macmillan, PG-13, 1/3
Friday, 10 July 2026 20:51Title: Ever Loyal
Disclaimer: J. K. Rowling and associates own these characters. I am writing for fun and not profit.
Pairings: Harry/Ernie Macmillan, past James/Lily, background Severus/Lily and James/OFC
Content Notes: AU (no Voldemort), Hufflepuff Harry, angst, mentions of canonical child abuse and infidelity
Rating: PG-13
Summary: AU. Ten-year-old Harry gets a visit from Severus Snape, his mother’s husband. Snape tells him the truth—that Harry’s not a human child, but a magical construct created by the force of James and Lily’s original marriage, who could dissipate at any moment. Snape promises to supply Harry with potions to put off that fate if Harry hides his identity and never approaches his “parents’” families. Seven years later, Harry Dursley is in Hufflepuff, fearing a possible disappearance, when Ernie Macmiillan offers to court him.
Author’s Notes: This is one of my “From Litha to Lammas” fics for this year, stories being posted between the summer solstice and the first of August. It should have three parts.

Pairings/Characters: Izzy/Ed, Izzy/Ed/Stede
Rating: E
Length: 31,803 words
Creator Links: redshift
Theme: Unreliable narrator
Summary: Izzy has spent years at Edward's side. The occasional petal here and there, the intermittent rasp that makes itself a permanent home in the hollows of his throat, the cough that comes and goes; it's all worth it, to be the person Ed turns to. It's a price he pays willingly.
Now, though. Now, Izzy knows what love looks like on Edward Teach, and it is soft and sweet and open and nothing like what Izzy has ever been able to give. Izzy's place is at Edward's side, and it's killing him.
That's okay. He's always wanted to die for something that matters.
Reccer's Notes: Izzy has hanakaki disease, and I love how the author writes it likes it's an almost chronic illness. Izzy is an unreliable narrator in how he thinks about Ed and Stede and their motivations. We as the reader can tell by their actions that their intentions are not what Izzy probably thinks, but Izzy's thoughts are very much coloured by the experience he is going through and he's not seeing things for how they truly are, and of course he refuses to talk to Ed about his feelings and what going on, which only makes everything worse.
One note, this is canon-divergent after season one.
