LOVE IS
bandaged hearts and full moon scars. and chest scars and forced smiles and days of dysphoria and holding each other through it all whispering soft promises of “we’ll make it, we’ll make it, we’ll always make it.” and they do because maybe he’s a werewolf and maybe they’re from a broken home but they have love they have so much love. and everyday it gets easier and every day their pronouns get recognized more often and every day they get misgendered less often and they forget the days when they thought it’d never get better because it has gotten better.
LOVE IS
three hearts working as one. three hearts so filled with love they can add another one and they’re still a family they’re still whole it’s not weird it’s not harmful for the little one because for them it’s natural it comes natural. because having two daddies and a mommy who all live together is awesome he says because regulus is just as much his father as james is and their is enough love for all of them and it’s natural, it’s all so natural.
LOVE IS
long red hair tangled in a messy bun, resting on the lap of the one you love. butterfly kisses and whispers of nargles. loud laughter and brave minds. creativity and plant vines wrapping around your heart, your arms, growing into you, becoming a part of you, being you, being with you. and her sexuality is valid she is valid they are valid even if she dated him it doesn’t matter because now she’s dating her and someday she might date another boy or she might not and that’s okay too.
LOVE IS
proud and loud and finally out after years of being pushed back in. because being a mudblood being a woman being black being anything but white is a sin. and then she fell in love with a woman and she was scared because on top of it all she was committing the “number 1 sin” but she found comfort in her arms even when she found fear in her heart because she’s a pureblood she’s the perfect daughter and everyone is telling her she’s ruining something so pure but she kept moving and moving because she is proud and she won’t be silenced anymore. they won’t be silenced anymore.
LOVE IS
his laugh, his hands, the way he moves across the room, the way he flies on his broom, him, him, him. spending years of hate spitting words he wishes he could take away but they’re still there they’re still fresh but they work through it and they find happiness. and maybe it seems crazy maybe people think they’re making a mistake maybe they think what he’s feeling is fake because what about the girl with the red hair? well the girl with the red hair and the boy with the scar both fell for a blonde but they aren’t worlds apart there is still so much love in their hearts even if they’ve moved on and that’s okay. they’re okay. because he has him and she has her and they’re so happy so happy so happy.
LOVE IS
his family and his friends and his small one bedroom apartment that he lives in by himself with a window full of plants and a garden ‘round back. and people ask if he gets lonely and he smiles because they’ll never know that he is never alone. he has a heart full of love and his friends visit often and his plants need to be watered and harry needs a babysitter and luna wants to go out and have tea and he doesn’t need a partner to be whole, because sometimes love isn’t just one person sometimes love is an entire army of people who keep you together. and he’s perfectly content living out his days with his plants and his friends and his family and his little apartment with a garden ‘round back.
LOVE IS
all of them and more and people who have been lost and people who will be lost in the system and lost in themselves. love is proud. love is wild and random and completely out of the blue and it fills us like an ocean and it sweeps us off our feet and no matter what it will prevail we will prevail because
LOVE AND LOVE CANNOT BE KILLED OR SWEPT ASIDE.
THE FEELS I CAN’T *break in tears*
