Swirlsnap’s favourite Scorbus fics on AO3

• Let Go by sebastianL

Let Go is hands-down the most impressive Scorbus fic ever written on AO3, if not the most impressive Scorbus fic PERIOD. The characterisation of each character, both major and minor, was so well-considered, impressive and realistic. Albus’ constant internal monologuing was all at once: hilarious, heartbreaking, and real as fuck. The progression of Scorbus’ eventual relationship, and their various trials and tribulations, were indescribably well-written. Every moment had me on the edge of my seat and/or kicking and screaming.

And that hardly begins to touch on the intricacies of the plot. From the very beginning of this 190k word fic, SebastianL crafts a web of details and clues that culminate in impressive reveals, and great emotional pay-off. To spoil anything would be a disservice to any future readers, so all I have to say is (if you haven’t already read Let Go) is: READ IT!

• A Love Like Old Boots by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion

A Love Like Old Boots managed to break my heart and glue it back together again in as much as 20k words. Tender and disquieting, but so, so hopeful and optimistic at the same time, this is one of my favourite fics for the Scorbus pairing. The rift that had grown between the two boys, and the careful mending of that rift as men was so visceral that I felt like it mended something in me.

• Sugar Dust by gobstoneswithhector

Have you ever read a fic so sweet that it made your teeth ache? I don’t even know where to start with this one; Sugar Dust is an endearing 20k word story from the perspective of Scorpius that never met Albus in Hogwarts - he was homeschooled. The meet cute between this adorably magnetic couple in a small town culminates in the most blindingly cute way. Sugar Dust is practically what the plot of a Scorbus romantic comedy film would be. Super cute!

• The Pumpkin Peddler by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion

I always, always come back to this fic whenever I need a Scorbus-themed pick-me-up. The Pumpkin Peddler is the perfect 10k bite-sized Scorbus fic. The worldbuilding is so whimsical and perfect, it really has that Studio Ghibli-feel of other-worldliness, while still staying grounded in its relationships. I haven’t read a fic like this before finding The Pumpkin Peddler, and I still haven’t found another since. Super original and adorable!

• You and I by shiftylinguini

In You and I, shiftylinguini manages to expertly capture the sublime beginnings, stormy seas, and fairytale ending of Scorbus’ relationship over the course of over a decade. An incredibly impressive 31k word undertaking, I absolutely fell in love with shiftylinguini’s version of Scorpius and Albus, and their interactions that were just so clearly full of intimacy. I especially love the bathtub scene; no spoilers, but I think I’ve come back and reread this fic specifically for that scene about 15 times.

• Purposeful Accident by [a now-orphaned account that I won’t name out of respect for the author]

Purposeful Accident manages to toe the line between seat-gripping and sickeningly sweet for the entire 15k word ride. If you had seen me read this fic for the first time, you would have seen a person smile like an absolute maniac for about 30 minutes straight. The slow build of Scorpius and Albus’ relationship over the course of the fic was wonderful to witness, and I especially loved Lily in this one. She’s so under-utilised in fics that it’s downright criminal!

• A Dream We Share by Tonks914

Another delightfully short-and-sweet fic, A Dream We Share managed to make me kick and scream and squeal like a little girl for the entirety of its 4k words. I can hardly gush about this fic without spoilers for the ending, but what an utterly charming surprise it was!

• there must have been some supernova i missed by thumbsupemoji

DO YOU WANT A CHARMING 30K FIC TO READ? (yes, you shout!) DO YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOU’RE EXPERIENCING A HEART ATTACK FOR AN HOUR DUE TO THE SHEER AMOUNT OF SWEETNESS IN THIS FIC? (god yes, you cry impassionately!) Then look literally no further than this thoroughly incredible fic by thumbsupemoji! Scorpius as a narrator was an absolute delight to behold, and I loved his slow (or not-so-slow, really) realisation of his feelings for one Albus Potter. One of my favourite aspects of this particular fic is how true it stays to the characterisation that Cursed Child provides; I felt like the dorky Scorpius and somewhat sullen Albus that I saw on stage really turned up in this fic. I honestly can’t sing thumbsupemoji’s praises enough!

• Where The Apples Grow In Winter by Thealmostrhetoricalquestion

Thealmostrhetoricalquestion’s Where The Apples Grow In Winter felt like the cold air on your face when you walk outside on a Winter’s day. It felt like the person you love most in the world giving you a tight, warm hug. So soft, so sweet, and so impossibly soothing. 14k words of two boys finding love in each other in the most charming way.

There are totally more Scorbus fics that I love just as much as the ones mentioned above, but I couldn’t bring myself to write anymore. How the hell do you fic writers write over 10k words? I’m actually in awe. I hope that whoever is reading this is able to find as much joy in these fics as I clearly did!

kiss-my-azkaban:

A Cursed Child Theory: Albus was sorted into Slytherin because Scorpius was.

HEAR ME OUT OKAY!!

The facts:

• The sorting hat will take your wishes into account if you feel strongly enough
• Albus felt very strongly about not wanting to be in Slytherin
• The hat wasn’t sure at first: “He puts his hat on ALBUS’s head – and this time he seems to take longer – almost like he too is confused.”

So why was he sorted into Slytherin?

Because Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, and Scorpius asked him if he wanted to be called Al or Albus.

We know our boy hates people calling him Al.

We know he feels an intense pressure to be who his family wants him to be.

Scorpius’ first instinct was to ask him what he wanted to be called. In Albus’ eyes, Scorpius was the first person in his life to put his wishes first. PLUS, we can only assume that after the scene cuts the two had the time of their little lives chatting on that train journey.

So when Scorpius was sorted into Slytherin, a little subconscious part of Albus’ brain went “if he’s in Slytherin, it’s okay if I am too” and that’s why the hat decided Slytherin.

In the first alternate universe (in the original script) he’s in Gryffindor. Why? There’s no Rose to force him to try and make a friend on the train, therefore no meeting with Scorpius, therefore he gets put in Gryffindor because Slytherin now has no redeeming qualities to him.

Scorpius’ kind lil soul is the reason Albus Potter was put in Slytherin.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

The fact that they’re still tight about this after all these years is so funny to me like they must think about it every single day

Man it wasn’t even the copypasta. I saw folks eviscerating the guy for daring to write YA stuff. Teen love for teens. And how that made him a pedophile. Like that’s what’s being talked about here. Not the cock monologue. It was the endless hate and vitriol like I remember distinctly my dash being flooded with “he’s a grown man who writes stuff for kids. That’s super sus of him” and him literally being called a pedophile and other such smears. Like the cock nonsense was the absolute least of what happened. Don’t be a derisive dick. If you’re referencing that then obviously you were around to see all the toxic bullshit too and you should know all of this

But oh noooo! It was obviously the goofy taste of balls post that did it! Because tumblr is good and always correct /s

It is particularly cruel to me that John Green was harassed essentially off of the internet in the way that he was because the poor man has OCD and is very open about it.

The way he was treated is horrible and disgusting for anyone at all, but John Green has for years and years (along with his brother Hank) tried to make the world a measurably better place while living with a horrific mental illness. A mental illness that makes something like being called a pedophile over and over again horrific in ways that unless you have OCD, or are very very close to someone who does, you will never understand because OCD targets whatever you value and makes your world a living hell over it.

And you know what? He still writes his novels, and he is still out here doing absolutely everything he can to make the world a measurably better place. The cock monologue was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

–

Also if anyone did this to my brother I would never ever forgive anyone involved. Never. The fact that they are still engaging with the internet in the way they do, with vulnerability and kindness is remarkable.

The notes on this post are shit so just to be clear: if you’re following me and you think it’s funny to harass someone, or that it doesn’t count if the victim is above a certain age or if the harassment happens online, or that it’s worse to speak out against harassment than to harass someone, unfollow me because I don’t fucking want you to interact with me

On the positive side, here’s two replies that are actually decent:
