Prompt Post #2

  ROUND 2

Seeing as we've reached 4,000 comments in Round 1, it's time to make a new one. Same (lack of) rules apply. Gentle reminder to everyone to refrain from posting extremely long prompts, though. While no word limit will be imposed, take note that it is very unlikely for someone to fulfill your prompt if your prompt alone is already several paragraphs long and containing a number of specifications.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
-(01/14/2016) We now have a TRADING POST where you can exchange fills with people. 
-The prompt freeze is over! You may resume posting prompts. The next freeze is scheduled on February 8, 12:00 AM (PST) or if this round reaches 4,000 comments; whichever comes first.
-Due to popular demand, we now have our first couple of rules!
RULE #1: No prompt must exceed 250 words. Any prompt that exceeds that WILL be screened.
RULE #2: Please state RPF in the subject line if your prompt involves real people.
RULE #3: No kinkshaming.


Also: interested in helping out the kink meme? We are in need of:
-Mods to help manage the kinkmeme itself
-Volunteers to help update the tumblr page

If you have free time to do one or the other, go ahead and e-mail us at fantasticbeastskink@gmail.com.
Thank you to those who have already volunteered, and have a nice day.

...stealing a person's happy memories is *exactly* what a Dementor does; did Grindelwald find a /potions/ equivalent of their effect?! They're regarded as /the/ punishment for the worst crimes imaginable; it only hammers in that what Graves is going through is /excruciating/ to the extreme.

...and unlike Dementors, where simple distance and/or a Patronus is enough to reverse the effect, he won't ever get those memories back.

AA - Yep, it was a potion someone was mucking about with way back when so they could get all the benefits of having dementors without actually having to deal with dementors. Which considering the effects on any guards near Azkaban, I'm assuming a lot of people have tried that.

It didn't quite work because it doesn't suppress anyone's magic and without the constant drain on happy thoughts, it's easy for a strong willed person to mostly brush it off even if they are more prone to severe depression afterwards. It is why I made Graves' character duty-driven. Honour and duty are not exactly happy thoughts, but they'll sustain people with nothing else left and with no hope of reward.

I don't think the potion origin will become relevant later on, but we'll see. I don't really have much of a plan.
