The Places That Shape Us - The Places We Shape
works with buildings as staples/plot devices/focal points - or with buildings or specific places that are just cool or that i for some reason become attached to - especially magical in nature. (sometimes works with “home” as a concept separate from a place, with homes being in hearts instead of houses.) the difference between house and home, the difference between a bed and belonging. added to entirely based on whim and an arbitrary sorting system called ~feelings~
[image:] as I leave my childhood home I want to ask this old house: “will you miss me like I’ll miss you? will you wonder how I’ve changed since I left? will you keep being my home if I leave my heart behind?”

Bookmarker's Notes
finished. this is one of the best things i've ever read. it had all the good stuff - so much love, love in every shape, and the heartfelt laughter, and unencumbered joy, and plenty of snark, and the happiness that feels impossible sometimes but is so so real. it had all the worst stuff too - the ugly and the bad and the dregs of humanity, hatred and immaturity and selfishness and anger and pain. there was a lot of grief, and there was unshakable guilt, and there was crying - and i cried, too, a real cry, with some tears even, more than a few times, and god it hurt so bad sometimes, but sometimes it was so wonderful. the whole thing was wonderful and unexpected and a strange but fascinating mix of foreign and familiar.
the first person perspective threw me off at first, but once i started reading i couldn't stop, and i got used to it eventually. draco is a very well-constructed, three dimensional, beautiful character in this. harry is not what i expected at all, but neither was anyone or anything else in this (besides draco's father, i think that was pretty predictable). there is an ocean of divide in draco and in his life between the magical and the non-magical. in harry, the line between past and present is blurred beyond recognition. they both have a lot to come to terms with. they both have a lot to get over and to accept.
there is a lot to this. several plotlines and stories all woven together. starting out i had no fucking clue what the hell was going on but as the story unraveled i could not get enough of the world of this story, the people and the places and the stories within them. i fell in love with almost every character (excluding the ones i hated and the ones i could not help but be conflicted about) and there were a lot of them to fall in love with. i think i'm going to miss them.
((((((((((( og character names so i can remember: derrell, jason, ty, roderick, rodrigo, leanna, isaac, joshua, alex, demetrius, evan, dustin moreno, michael, (lyman, mrs. e, mistress teseli) ))))))))))
9.95/10 absolutely brilliant

Summary
“It was a last minute decision. Single parents with children draw attention to themselves in this type of neighborhood, and this department didn’t have a big budget to relocate all the werewolf and werewolf sympathizers that were targeted on this list. We’ve combined a lot of our relocation assignments. It ended up working out that another family, Mr. Stilinski and his son, looked like a good fit for you guys, so you’ll be sharing a home with them for the time being.” Markowski grins at him. “Congratulations! You’re married!”
~
In which Derek and his daughter are displaced just in time for the holidays, matched up with Stiles and his young son in a government protection program.

Summary
Derek is a sleepwalker who keeps wandering into his downstairs neighbour’s bedroom.
Stiles is pretty sure the hot guy from the park is going to kill him in his sleep. He knows he shouldn’t have been so obvious about objectifying the guy’s really fine ass.
Too bad it turns out Derek is easier to get along with when he's sleeping.

Summary
When Stiles is thirteen years old, he falls in love.
She’s over ten feet tall, with gray-green leathery skin and a plump, yellow belly, bright purple eyes and an ungainly wingspan that makes her topple when she spreads them open too wide.
In the time it takes for the dragon to bury her too-warm muzzle in the palm of his hand, Stiles knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her.
Her handler is gruff, dark-haired, wide-shouldered, and scowling down at him. He’s got a burn scar running down the outside of one forearm, and the flight vest open at his throat reveals an angry red claw mark on his collarbone.
Stiles maybe falls a little bit in love with him, too.
