290 | finally finished Thousand Autumns!! + a fic rec
Saturday, 26 October 2024 07:47 pmReading: just finished the final volume of Thousand Autumns, and have now started a nonfiction read about Artisans in early imperial China.
Listening: High Rollers Aerois, ofc
Playing: getting very close to beating Pokémon Scarlet!
Watching: keeping up with my usual YouTube subscriptions, but beyond that, nothing at the moment
Writing: nothing actively, but fingers crossed that I change that later tonight!
► As stated above, I’ve finally finished the official translation of Thousand Autumns! Also marking the first time I’ve read the story in its entirety. I freely admit to having neglected so many things in my life in the past week or so due to this novel—including, memorably, my deciding to read “just the opening chapter” of the final volume before going to bed last night, and instead staying up way too late reading all of the main story + the epilogues. I’m currently very tired, but also very happy. ( more beneath the cut )
►It took me a hot minute, but I finally got around to reading
slashmarks’s new Bellatrix-related WIP (this time Bellatrix/Hermione, featuring time travel!!), and, unsurprisingly, I fell madly in love with it, so now I’ve come here to make a rec for it! It’s currently at 17 out of a planned 19 chapters, and the most recently posted chapter ended at a point that left me screaming. It’s great <3 Though do please do note the content warnings mentioned in the author’s note.

swallow some of their history (Harry Potter, Bellatrix/Hermione, currently 94K)
A clash in the Time Room in the Department of Mysteries sends Hermione back in time thirty-three years, from 1996 to 1963. There, she's forced to contend with a drastically different pre-war Wizarding World where blood-based prejudice and rigid class structures rule the day, and maybe worse, Bellatrix Black as a classmate. But getting involved with Bellatrix Black in any capacity means dealing with her family's problems, too.
