They’re so canon but not canon at the same time 🫠🫠🫠

The thing about Harry in the books, and how he notices Malfoy so much, is that like.. the tone of it is just so different to how he notices other characters that he (actually) doesn’t like.

For example, we get much more of a sense of Harry’s reluctance to be near Lockhart, his distaste and distrust of Lockhart, any time he has to interact with him. And Harry even notices that Lockhart is good looking, but he notices it in more of a sense that it’s not something he’s personally drawn to. Kind of similar to how he notices the Veela at the World Cup. He recognises it in passing, because it’s objectively noticeable.

And yet the tone of how he notices Malfoy is so different. His gaze is constantly drawn to Malfoy. He notices Malfoy anytime he’s around - whether it’s across the hall (surrounded by literally HUNDREDS of other students) or in the busy thoroughfare of Diagon Alley. And he’s not noticing Malfoy’s looks in a kind of.. dismissive, passing way. He’s hyper focused on Malfoy’s expressions, his underlying mood, the way he’s carrying himself. He’s always noticing how he looks, his pointy features, the flash of his hair. He recognises him instantly even from a distance.. even though I’m sure there were plenty of other blonde students at Hogwarts. He’s constantly drawn to him, in a way that Harry is not drawn towards other people he actively dislikes or hates. THAT’s the difference. Harry wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone else he dislikes; but with Malfoy, he’s completely drawn in, even when Malfoy is doing his best to avoid being noticed.

OMG ok so Harry is glamoured for some reason and bumps into Draco and it Piques™️ his interest so he keeps going to meet w Draco until they get closer and closer.

Then one day Draco’s like “Goodness, am I glad I met you, Thomas. I don’t think there’s anyone else I’d rather be with right now.”

Harry’s sweating as he adjusts his collar when he says, “Really? Nobody?”

Draco shakes his head. “And Thomas is such a superb name. Draco and Thomas. It flows so fantastically, don’t you think? I thank the stars that you were named Thomas.”

“Uh. But what if I wasn’t? Called Thomas, I mean. What if I had a different name?”

Draco blinks at him. “Is this some sort of philosophical question? Because if so, I shan’t indulge. Now, pick up my bags, we haven’t finished in Madam Griddles yet.”

Harry reluctantly does as he’s told as he lowkey thinks Draco only specifically wants to date Thomas’. In reality, Draco’s known it was Harry all along, he’d be able to pick his mannerisms out from a crowd away, and Harry also sucks at acting. But he’s keeping it up for the bit until Harry can pussy up and reveal himself.

I was late (you were early)

These was commissioned by @dodgerkedavra for her fic “I was late (you were early)”

These scenes took place in two different time, the first and second one when they were 19 and the third one when they were 29. A portrayal of a ten years story. I’m really happy with the way the colors turns out and finally drawing the auror robes I had in my head haha.

The three small part of the fic that I used to illustrate these scene was

Malfoy pulls Harry’s other hand away from his ear and places it over the buttons of his jacket, his fingers warm over Harry’s shaking ones. His chest rises and falls under Harry’s palm, and he can feel Malfoy’s heart beating even through his uniform.

One second his hand is flat on Malfoy’s chest and the next it’s a fist. One second he’s against the wall and the next he’s crumpled forwards into Malfoy’s arms.

One last stroke, and Harry leans into Draco with a contented sigh. He inhales the scent of roses and early summer heat and Draco’s soap. Birds titter in the branches nearby. Draco’s heart beats against Harry’s back. The rhythm never falters, never stops.

There’s a second part to this story which was told from Draco’s pov which is angsty as well 🥹. It was “I’ll find you again (I always do)”

Working on these reminds me again how I loved drawing with red colors. I hope these illustrations manage to brings out or at the very least showed glimpse of the emotion these two portray in dodger’s wonderful fic ;-;

What's the trope name for when someone finds out they're the Chosen One(tm) and is like "No, thank you" and goes and does something else

being a fic writer is just sitting bolt upright every six months or so shouting "OH SHIT MY FIC"

Ever have a scene from one of your fics just…stuck in your head? Like, I have this scene from my latest WIP that just keeps playing over and over again:

Harry, groggy, hung over, stumbling into Draco’s (too bloody bright) kitchen to find Draco at the kitchen in JEANS AND A T-SHIRT…COOKING BREAKFAST??? Scorpius is there (Harry vaguely remembers that Malfoy did in fact have a son a few years back) but he also has pets - he has 2 dogs and a kneazle (which he DID NOT know and is having a hard time picturing even though it’s right in front of him). Draco is making chocolate chip pancakes -Scorpius’ favorite - and dancing…to MUGGLE music…and it’s just so messy and loud and domestic and Harry should NOT think it’s the most adorable thing he’s ever set eyes on. He shouldn’t. He doesn’t. Any evidence to the contrary and he will blame it on the alcohol from the night before. He isn’t even sure how he got here in the first place - in every sense of the word. He also vaguely remembers being at a club the night before and that maybe Auror training hadn’t gone so well and MAYBE he’d drank a little too much…just a little.

Harry is confused, beyond confused, but he’s hung over, the food smells good, and whatever Twilight Zone version of Draco Malfoy this is hasn’t hexed him yet so…he sits down.

He doesn’t know it at the time but making that decision to sit down changes the whole trajectory of his life.

And I keep thinking to myself - with all that I have planned for this fic - that this moment is the one I’ll be writing the entire fic for. That one tiny decision that leads to all the others, a domino effect that ultimately leads him back to that table again and again and again and again. Life is like that, isn’t it? You make one, small, tiny decision in the moment and months down the line, years down the line, it winds up meaning everything.

I think there’s a beauty in that. I love seeing life reflected back at me through fanfic. I love being a part of this community that manages to spend hours upon hours pouring back into the people that are engaged with it, showing us the intricacies of existence in this silly, beautiful thing we do with our spare time.
