Sequel to Intoxicating (original ending) Olive Good, American portraitist, is given the task to to paint the portraits of the 52 lives lost at The Battle of Hogwarts. It is tradition for witches and wizards of note to sit for portraits, so their legacy can be retained long after they've passed, hence why Hogwarts is covered in the frames of countless figures from wizarding history. But while each painting has its own unique personality true to their sitters' real lives, some are more textured than others. Since the people that are being painted can not be present for the painting process, Olive has come up with a process through meeting with all the families to learn as much as she can about them, to make the paintings as lively as they were when they were alive. This is where she meets a certain twin, who she helps grieve the loss of his brother and best friend. She gives him closure, and he gives her something she never expected, love. Post War Besides Olive and Maeve, all characters belong to JK Rowling,

What they had was never very clean, but things usually do get messy in the kitchen. // !MATURE CONTENT AHEAD! (lots of smut, mental illness, swearing, etc.) Read the disclaimer for specific details. This is a slowish burn fic for mature audiences. The main love interests are George Weasley & Dean Thomas. Not always canon with books. Set in an AU after the war where Fred survives because I say so. // All rights for the HP characters, places, spells, etc go to JK Rowling, but I do not support her views on certain topics. // cover credit: @lovelygraciee // best rankings: #2 in bakery - 02/22/21 #1 in fredweasley - 03/13/21 #2 in originalcharacter - 03/31/21 #1 in georgeweasley - 04/06/21

WARNING: THERE ARE A LOT OF EXPLICIT 18+ SMUT SCENES! (+ depictions of consensual sex, non con sex, violence, crude language, mature themes, etc...) Some flames destroy. Others teach you how to burn. Calista Warrington has never belonged anywhere - not in the Muggle world she was raised in, not in the Slytherin common room, and certainly not in her own skin. She's built her life around keeping people out and keeping herself alive. But falling in love with George Weasley changes everything. Their connection is immediate, reckless, and real. Something neither of them were ready for in a world already breaking apart. As the Second Wizarding War brews, Calista's relationship with George becomes both her greatest strength and her deepest vulnerability. Together they face grief, family secrets, and the slow realization that her bloodline ties her to everything she fears. **Takes place starting in Prisoner of Azkaban all the way until post-Deathly Hallows** For obvious reasons, George and Calista, along with the others in the same year, are all 18 at the start of Prisoner of Azkaban (5th year). Due to mature content and themes, I don't feel comfortable writing them off as 15 year olds like they would be in the books/movies. Therefore, if you ever get confused by ages, it is most likely because of this. Not everything that takes place in this story will be perfectly canon. i.e, certain original characters from the books/movies may be in a different year in this story, specific events may or may not take place, and character personality may differ. ~start date: november 14th, 2020 ~end date: tbd Disclaimer: All original Harry Potter characters, storylines, as well as the occasional use of direct dialogue from the books and movies belong to J.K.
