1. The Proposal
Added 2025-03-07 02:19:51 +0000 UTCThe Ministry of Magic has a brilliant new idea: In order to boost the magical population, the British Reproduction Enhancement and Enforcement Decree, B.R.E.E.D. for short, is enacted.
Severus Snape would rather be hexed into next Tuesday than get married.
Unfortunately, ignoring the decree isnโt an option. Unless he wants the Ministry assigning him a bright-eyed, baby-crazed spouse eager to fulfill her patriotic duty. Enter Professor Morvan, who is just as furious about this absurdity as he is. Her solution? A marriage of convenience. No feelings. No nonsense. Just enough appearances to keep the Ministry from meddling.
But things are never as simple as they seem.
Episode notes: This is set a few years before the second war. Our protagonists are roughly the same age. Initially Severus will refer to her in third person, but that will change down the line for...reasons. Smut will follow in the next episode.

2025-03-10 20:40:43 +0000 UTCThe ministry should just use AI ( artificial insemination ) and even surrogates for the mothers. It would save a lot of grief and headaches that's for sure but it makes for an awfully short story, right?

2025-03-08 00:24:55 +0000 UTC'And then it got worse' ...Never has so much of my coffee been spread over such a wide area in such a short period of time. I had to go and make another. My own fault for listening at work. The sense of his entire comfortable bachelor life drifting out of his control and every loophole being closed like another draw string on a Victorian night gown around both their clever necks was epically funny! I know it's just a story and it must have limitations but I am very worried about gay and lesbian wizards and witches though since the lavender arrangement isn't apparently feasible. I hope they are exceptions or that someone clever has thought of a magical hack for the diary.

2025-03-07 16:30:42 +0000 UTCI think I'm going to really enjoy this new storyline. Sev's reaction and comments about the rules and regulations of their marriage were hilarious!!
Sandy Clarke
2025-03-07 14:48:57 +0000 UTCOh my god, that new story will be sooo intense and interesting, I love the beginning and that she's not bothered by his sarcasm. I can imagine things will get very dangerous at some point, and also their affection will begin and grow. I love the end of the episode how nervous he is how he's actually imagining her already. ๐๐คญ I will eagerly wait for the next episode, that will be a great story. ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

2025-03-07 14:21:13 +0000 UTCI love it so far. I can't wait to hear more when it comes out. And I was curious to know if the bonding together holds the hands as they were sealed together as husband n wife . Ummm. Is it similar to unbreakable vow? Maybe not death but something else? Keep up the great work Halfbloodprincess!

Violet
2025-03-07 09:36:13 +0000 UTCYou been getting cult material from the Fundies? Warren Jessups or other fringe FLDS/ cultists because this sounds almost like something they would do. The only difference being the age of the woman involved and who she married. And believe it or not a lot of the men involved in those cults are not happy with the wives they are given. Sounds sort of familiar doesn't it? Not sure I'm going to like this story arc but who knows it might get less cringe later on. But I had really hoped for a different story arc but oh well it looks like this has a lot of fans already and so it goes. Good luck.

I loved it when the clerk handed them a brochure that had an article for โFirst Night Jittersโ that below that article was a moving representation of a witch and wizard doing the dirty deed. โAnd it MOVED!!โ ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
