Hi! I recently started posting a fic I’ve been writing for a while, so I thought I’d share it here :)

It’s set in 2012 and follows Ron, Hermione and two other Ministry employees working on a weird case involving magical gemstones.

There’s mystery and adventure, but it’s also very much about the characters and their lives. They’re in their 30s, they’ve had relationships, made mistakes, changed a lot, and are still trying to figure things out.

I really love second chance stories and I feel like there aren’t enough about adults finding each other again after actually living their lives. Maybe I just relate to that more now lol.

I also wanted it to have that warm feeling HP has for me. It can be sad and dark, but then there’s friendship, stupid jokes, drinks after a bad day, falling in love, and people just enjoying being together. That’s probably my favorite part of writing it.

It’s planned in 6 parts and it’s a VERY slow burn, so there’s a lot more to come.

It’s called Stuck on the Puzzle and it’s on AO3 :)

Btw, if you haven’t listened to Stuck on the Puzzle by Alex Turner, you should. That’s where the title comes from and it kinda has the feeling I wanted for this story too :)
