FIC CLAIM

Sing Me A Song

(Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter; M; ~15k)

Gift for @khb-writes

My submission for H/D Erised 2023.

Millions of thanks to @porcelainheart3 for helping me beta this fic! I don't know how it would turn out without you =v= Probably nothing good.

Summary: On his birthday, Draco Malfoy discovered that he was a half-siren and had a mate. The problem was his mate was none other than the famous Harry Potter, aka his sworn enemy who despised him. What would he do next? On a side note, why was Harry Potter so annoyed that a certain obnoxious blond git had stopped antagonising him?

“Can’t run away anymore, huh?” Potter slammed a stack of documents on Draco’s desk. His grin looked a bit too savage for a little friendly chat between co-workers. Draco unconsciously pushed his chair back a bit. Where was the mouthy bint when Draco needed her? He was going to demote her! “I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” answered Draco with a tight smile, trying not to let his panic show. But Merlin, Potter looked good. Gone were his usual dopey smiles; the smile he had on right now was full of teeth. It looked wild and downright dangerous, like an untamed beast, especially from the angle Draco was put in. And he was so close. “You don’t understand?” Potter arched an eyebrow, faking surprise. And then, he leant in until their noses were almost touching. “About how you’ve been scurrying away like a rat whenever you see me?” It turned out, Potter didn’t just look good. He smelled good, too. ‘Calm down, Draco. You’re better than that,’ Draco mentally scolded himself. ‘Stop acting like a bird in heat.’

Fic Claim for Martyred

Erised 2023 reveals have finally come and, in addition to finding some new favorite authors and artists to follow, I get to claim my own work written for @kbrick!

This was an incredible fest and I’m so lucky I got to participate for the second year running (and in the last year for the outgoing mods and the first year for the new ones!). It’s really the end of an era (and I’m seeing clearer🎶). I enjoyed writing this work immensely and, even though I wish I hadn’t run out of time to properly polish it, I don’t think I’d have finished the fic without the structure & timeline of Erised there to push me. So I’m forever grateful to this fest.

Without further ado:

Martyred

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Rating: Explicit

Wordcount: 80,000 Approx

Summary: Harry Potter only wants one thing: to take care of the people he loves. After Teddy’s abrupt departure from his role as Andromeda’s caretaker, Harry decides it’s finally time to step up and handle the job himself.

Castoff Manor, an old Black family estate, has never seemed as sinister as the stories make it sound, but it’s there that Harry stumbles upon ghosts, haunting family secrets, and a familiar, snarky blond gardener hell-bent on chasing him out. Maybe if Harry sticks around long enough, he’ll finally learn why all of Andromeda’s previous caretakers have fled without looking back.

Fair warning: prepare yourself for horror (written by a scaredy-cat), ghosts (of the ancestral variety), ogling (of the excessive, ‘is Draco Malfoy actually wearing Muggle clothes?’ variety), and a 55 year old, adrift Harry Potter diving headfirst into a bunch of ancient trauma. Full tags on AO3

Kbrick, you were a joy to write for. Your prompts were engaging and I was absolutely absorbed by every one of your fics (including this year’s fest fic, before I even knew it was you—whoa!) I’m so glad I got to write this, perhaps mostly because I ended up enjoying the story more than I ever expected.

Big thank you to use_it_well for the beta read. I know we both worked faster than we thought possible to get this done.

Thank you most of all to the commenters, both on the official Erised Header and on the fic itself. You left really touching, encouraging, hilarious things. You’re all fantastic and I thank you for giving my fic a shot.

Thank you so much to the @hd-erised mods for organising a brilliant fest; to my beta team @thehoneybeet @getawayfox @citrusses for being the most encouraging friends; and of course to @writcraft, my giftee - it was such a joy writing for you.

When Draco returns to the UK after two decades of building his career as an internationally-renowned artist to look after his ailing, estranged father, he crosses paths with his former flame, Harry Potter, in the most unexpected way.

Harry wanders in and out of view from an upstairs window, pushed open to let the fresh air in. He stops, obviously sensing a stranger in the vicinity of his wards, and Draco grips the handle of his rucksack hard, his head tilted back, his face flushed from the rain and the sun, his lungs tight. It’s as if Draco knew where, exactly, to look. It’s as if he knew, where, exactly, he’d find the still point of the turning world—Harry, who at thirty-nine is rose-golden and everything and too much and at this moment, too close and too far away, somehow. Harry leans out of the window. His hair is as wild and curly as ever, his beard dark. He’s filled out a little, but his glasses are the same, his scar is the same, and his stunned expression is the same expression Draco recognises from a lifetime ago, and when Harry opens his mouth to speak, nothing comes out. Draco feels the magic around him sizzle, then slip off, like a wave approaching the shore only to disappear again. “It’s you,” Draco breathes.

The Unplottable Time Conundrum

Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy, E

When the past starts bleeding into the present at Grimmauld Place, an old academic article pulls Draco Malfoy out of his life of luxury. Haunted by the memory of a fleeting post-war kiss and thrust into the ghostly spaces inhabited by Unspeakable Harry Potter, Draco’s easy life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

By the time he knocks impatiently on the door to Grimmauld Place, Draco is even more infuriated. How typical that it would be Potter thrusting him headfirst into a dusty haunted house for the foreseeable future. “This is an absolute farce.” Draco pushes his way past Harry when he opens the door, dumping his cases on the floor with a huff. “An absolute farce.” “Is this how you treat all your lovers?” Harry closes the door and leans against the wall, watching Draco. “Just out of curiosity.” Draco splutters with indignation. “You’re not my lover. You’re my…ugh.” “I see.” Harry tries (badly) not to laugh. “I’ve never been someone’s ugh before. Does it come with any special perks?”

[magpiefngrl]

hey! curious new writer here. which fix of yours were the easiest to write and which were the hardest? in what way?

Hello anon! Thanks for an interesting ask.

OK I'll start with the disclaimer that every fic has its difficulties as well as moments when it flows, but there have definitely been some that poured out of me with great ease than others which were a constant struggle.

The Miseducation of Draco Malfoy, my first drarry, was written at the height of my obsession and it poured out of me. I wrote like a fiend all day and would go to bed at night and reread what I wrote. I breathed that fic day and night for the weeks it took me to write it. It was also the most fun I had writing, prob because I was a complete unknown and there were zero expectations from me. Similarly, The Full Monty, written just after TMODM, was an easy fic to write. I remember I read the prompt and was immediately assaulted by images and started laughing on my own and was like, OK I need to claim this, the fic is writing itself.

Similarly but in a more tortuous way, dirtynumbangelboy poured out of me too. More tortuous because it took me ages to find the right beginning, and by then I was behind with my deadlines and got stressed. Also, I wrote it in a sort of dread of the Erised fest, because it had some amazing writers that year and I was intimidated. I remember my goal was to "at least not embarrass myself" .

But, aside from the doubts and stress, dnab itself flowed like nothing else. There are passages that I really love, even now years later, and they are exactly as they came out the first time. I did very little editing (compared to other works).

With The Boy Who Died I made a fun post on tumblr about a mdzs AU of drarry and then the idea wouldn't let me go so I had to sit and write it. Luckily it was summer and I didn't work and I could spend my days writing it. There were moments I got stumped but it mostly came out easily.

Finally, a lot of my short fics poured out of me in one go and came out almost perfectly formed. The Dare, A Perfectly Normal Reaction, and my MCD The Death You Carry are good examples.

Fics that took ages at first:

so my thing is that I have to find the right opening to begin the story, otherwise I can't proceed. I don't plan; the first scene/chapter is my plan. And sometimes I get stuck for yonks. With The Unquiet Grave I began with a Draco POV, him being a politician and Harry his bodyguard, had an interesting first scene and then---nothing. It's like I hit a wall. Zero words come. When I have this feeling, I know I need to go back and revise. Long story short, it was when I changed the POV to Harry that somehow the whole gothic mood came about and I felt the auspicious click: I got it. That's what the story is. A gothic romance. After that, it was easier.

The same thing happened with Hush, darling. I rewrote a first scene fruitlessly several times until a random bit of inspiration fell into my hands: the visual of a card game. I began with it and I let it guide me and the whole plot/stakes/cast fell into place.

Fics that needed a LOT of work and had to be dragged into existence:

The Gift is the first that comes to mind. First couple of chapters were pretty easy and then I was stumped. Writing it felt like dragging myself up a slope, step by step and also not being happy with anything, so that was fun. :/

The other is 9 ½ Days, which took actual years to finish. In that case the middle part was the hard one. I wrote the beginning fairly easily and the last chapters, the plotty ones, also flowed. But the middle. Zeus almighty. It took me years and I thought and thought and thought about it a lot. Finishing this fic was an immense relief but also a source of pride, especially because I really liked the result, and judging by the comments I get, people seem to love it too.

Thanks for an unusual ask! It was good to ponder about my fics and my writing process. The same issues seem to crop up with my original works too, and it's helpful to remind myself that I got over those issues before and I can get over them again.

It’s just that being good had turned out so incomprehensibly boring. Now he's thirty-five, a fully redeemed member of society, the darling of the wizarding social pages, and a newly minted consultant for Gawain Robards' Investigative Research division. In his spare time, he enjoys good whisky, casual sex, and moonlighting as an art thief. His biggest score yet is fast approaching and he's got everything planned down to the minute. Everything, that is, until the unexpected appearance of a newly-divorced Harry Potter. Now that Potter's in the picture, Draco's no longer certain if he's the pursuer or the prize.

rosie!!!! SURPRISE!!!! this was so much fun to write, and tbh it was even more fun pretending i didn't write it directly to your face. ;) but seriously, writing for you was an absolute delight. your prompts gave me so many amazing fun things to sneak in (thigh holsters?! please!!). here's to gifting you many more things in the future!! thank you so so much to @citrusses for the incredible beta, and to everyone who has read and commented and shared throughout the fest. it was truly such an honor to participate in erised's 10 year anniversary. finally: - draco's first steal is this painting - the paintings in the Big Heist are this series - the monet lilies room at l'orangerie is here - you can find my fic inspo playlist here: spotify - the banner above is from the 1915 silent film serial Les Vampires, and was the image that first inspired this entire story.

fic claim: we have heard on high for hd-erised

Summary: Reeling from the fallout of a bad breakup, Harry decides to find out who his soulmate is. The bad news: it's Draco Malfoy. The good news: Malfoy doesn't seem to know they're soulmates. The worst news: Harry might be falling for him anyway.

Featuring: troublesome soulmarks, woodcutter harry, a lot of trees, a lot of chocolate because it also features chocolatier draco (also ferret draco and choir enthusiast draco), christmas songs in august, pressed flowers, dating, sex up against a tree, tattoo artist ron, and love as a choice.

Notes: hello! not only was this my first ever @hd-erised fic, it was also my first ever soulmate fic! that feels wild because it's one of my favorite tropes, but i'd never gotten around to writing it before so i was grateful to get the chance to do so! i'm similarly grateful to @doingthechachaslide for providing such a good, detailed signup that helped guide this fic to that idea, and to the mods for their wonderful help and great communication (with a special shoutout to @thehoneybeet for birdpicking 💕). thank you for such an amazing fest and for allowing me to be a part of it!

H/D Erised 2023 fic claim: True Love Gave To Me for @bicholsdrarrysideblog

It’s the first of December, and all Draco wants to do is make Christmas lovely for Scorpius. But then Harry Potter shows up, asking him to save the world, and it turns out they’ve almost saved the world a couple of times before. One-hundred and forty-four times, to be exact. Or: what happens after the time loop?

BICHOL, I had the absolute best time writing this fic for you. I spent about five million years trolling your bookmarks (which are hilarious & you have the best taste jfc), and lovedlovedloved pining Harry + doesn’t-believe-he-deserves-good-things Draco. Add in Scorpius and just a pinch of a plot and voila: this fic was born! Thank you so much again for pinch-hitting for Erised this year ♡

This fic took a gaggle of Christmas elves, angels, ghouls, and Krampus to drag over the finish line—@citrusses and @mallstars for their incredible alpha work, and @queenie-jinny and @sleepstxtic for pushing me to fix my tenses, catching all my typos, and generally betaing this fic on a timeline that I cannot even comprehend for myself. All of you are so so so appreciated.

a little Christmas snippet ♡

It’s only as he’s pounding on the door, Scorpius holding his hand in his most darling emerald wool cloak, that Draco begins to question his actions.

It’s too late though. Harry Potter answers it.

“Draco?” He’s still in pyjamas, red and covered in tiny fluttering Snitches. They look like childrens’ pyjamas magically sized up, with how Potter’s knobbly ankles show. “How’d you get past the Fidelius?”

Draco waggles his fingers, and says, “Loop magic?” Then he immediately remembers how absolutely idiotic Pansy looks when she does that and drops his hands to his side, lickety-split.

“Hi, Potter!” Scorpius waves.

Potter’s face lights up instantly, and the gnawing ache grows inside Draco. It’s just—how can anyone just wear their feelings on their face like that? It’s not fair: not fair to Draco, not fair to Scorpius, not fair to Potter. Not fair to Draco’s heart—144 days sounds like an eternity, but it doesn’t feel like enough for Potter to—for whatever Potter’s feeling, right there on his face, for the world to see. For Draco to see.

But Draco knows he made the right choice as soon as Potter squats onto his knees and starts chattering to Scorpius. Scorpius is unusually gregarious with Potter, and Draco wonders if perhaps the finger-waggly loop magic may actually have something to do with it—the easy way Scorpius takes Potter’s hand when it took him ages to warm up to Blaise when he’d returned from abroad. Or maybe it’s just Potter: his palpable warmth, the way he acts genuinely interested in what Scorpius has to say, how his smile lights up his whole face and his eyes say I could love you; let me love you.

Murder in St Mungo's Explicit, 80k words

Murders, cults, and Ministry corruption oh my! Dead bodies were popping up all across Great Britain. Nothing connected them, no eyewitnesses, no motive, and not a single suspect in sight. Junior Auror Harry Potter was not given the cases nor asked to help, but that wasn’t going to stop him from getting to the bottom of it. Even if he had to work with the Ministry’s least favorite employee, Draco Malfoy.

Pairing: Drarry Rating: E Word Count: 64k Summary: Harry Potter has had a headache for seven and a half years.

I just really REALLY really had a fantastic time writing this because I love when Harry and Draco are both just in pieces and must fix each other out of love, and I also got to look back on all the other stuff I've written and hide little references throughout. I just can't quit. Désolé, but not désolé.

Structurally (not to get all scholarly) I am so ridiculously proud of this fic. In inceptum finis est. I cried when I got to the end because it turned out just how I imagined it would but also because I felt quite tangled at the beginning of this year, and now I feel that my ley lines are back in place.

FIC CLAIM: H/D ERISED 2023

What a joy it's been creating for and participating in @hd-erised this year!! I've had a blast reading and commenting on (almost) all the works and freaking out about the amazing artwork. Seriously, this community is so talented.

This fic is based on one of my favorite rom-coms, especially Kate Hudson in that iconic yellow dress. The early 2000s had some absolutely hilarious movies, so I tried to capture some of that feeling in this fic. I also made a fun little fanvid to go with it because, well, why not? It's not like I'm already super busy or anything 😂

Thank you to the mods (old and new) for running this mammoth of a fest. And thank you to @melcarrianna, my wonderful giftee, for requesting a fluffy Drarry fic with lots of laughter and lots of love.

Do you have any fics that really took you by surprise? I mean, the ending was something you didn't see coming at all. If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear :)

Hi anon! Yes, absolutely - some fics took me by surprise throughout the narrative as well (and not only with a surprising ending). I’m listing a few here, hope you enjoy!

Through His Teeth by @dictacontrion (M, 2.8k)

"C’mon then, Potter. Don’t tell me there’s nothing you’ve ever wanted to do to this body.”

Not Waving by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 3k)

Draco and Harry have been together for a few weeks now, and everything's going swimmingly. Or is it?

The Other Cottage by @corvuscrowned (T, 6.5k)

If Pansy wasn’t shagging Ginny Weasley, Draco would never have been dragged to Luna’s ridiculous Halloween party in the first place - meaning he wouldn't be sitting in the corner of the room with Harry Potter all night.

Our Little Life by @tackytigerfic (M, 7k)

Sometimes Harry dreams. Only they're not really dreams at all, and Malfoy is always in them. It's time travel, but not as we know it, and Harry just needs a good night's sleep.

Saltwater Stain by @the-starryknight (M, 9k)

Seven days stuck on a boat investigating a rogue ghost wouldn't be so bad if Harry didn't want Draco so much. Draco has his rules and Harry's content to follow them, but the air feels different away from the shore. Is it possible that the sea could offer Harry something impossible on land?

And Save Me From Bloody Men by @blamebrampton (T, 10k)

Draco Malfoy once watched others fighting to stop the world falling apart. This time, he's not just watching.

The Good Guys by Frayach (E, 26k)

The Second Voldemort War is limping into its fourth year, and the Forces of Shining Light are slowly turning into the Forces of Expedient Grey. When Draco Malfoy is captured red-handed trying to sell an illegal potion to a clerk at Borgin & Burkes, he is handed over to the Department of Essential and Necessary Truth’s newest interrogator.

In Our Blood by @secretsalex-blog (E, 38k)

Draco is an accomplished pure-blood curse breaker, and Harry is tasked with accompanying him on his latest job—cleaning up the Van Boer mansion, which has been under a devastating fertility curse for seven generations.

If an Injury Is to Be Inflicted by @shealwaysreads (E, 45k)

Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain.

REVOLVEVLOVER by @firethesound and @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 46k)

The work Harry does is justifiable. It’s justice. He works for his country, and his country is a republic—the magical side, anyway. It’s not laudable work, it’s not work he’s proud of, but it’s necessary work. Harry has always taken the necessary jobs that no one else has the stomach for.

Timecode by Rasborealis (M, 73k)

Harry Potter has been dead for two years, and Draco would laugh in the face of anyone claiming differently. Well, anyone but Hermione Granger.

Dwelling by aideomai (T, 83k)

Curses, James and Lily Potter ride again, several Ministry balls, a teenage Summer of Love, a grim young adult dystopian winter, a few different Draco Malfoys, secrets and the problems re: not having any, alternate lives, impossible lives, real lives, allusions to Dirty Dancing, and just because it's not called the Mirror of Erised doesn't mean you shouldn't know better.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

Forgive Those Who Trespass by Lomonaaeren (E, 135k)

Harry Potter was convinced he had an ordinary, if inconvenient, life. Then Ron and Hermione vanished in the Department of Mysteries. And the only person who may know where they are is a mute Draco Malfoy.

a tiny excerpt ^.^

“Aren’t you supposed to be taking notes already?” he said slowly, seductively, while sliding his trousers down the length of his legs, until they dropped to the floor with a soft thump.

He didn’t miss Potter’s worried wince at the translucent line across his hip and right leg, which had continued to expand during his absence. The guilty act. Draco had learnt to recognise it well.

He hitched his bad leg up on the sofa. To rest it – of course.

Potter’s eyes looked like they were about to burst out of their sockets. He was putting on a valiant fight but clearly failing at the sight of Draco’s crotch and long legs on display. Draco knew his best assets well.

“Are you doing that on purpose?” Potter asked dumbly.

Draco smirked. “I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“But… why? Are you enjoying torturing me?”

He looked so defeated, Draco almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked at him. “When did I ever not?”

Life got really crazy for me around the time I submitted this, and I gave yet to really be able to sink my teeth into other works, or read/reply to the comments on even my own! Can’t wait to dive in!

Daily Blog June 22, 2023

So that was fun yesterday in starting this blog. I seriously do hope that as time goes by that others will start doing the same. :) I do want to add that in my posts I will be adding some fandom history now and then. Today is one of those days. I may have been a bit self-indulgent. *blushes*

What I'm Reading:

I'm trying to savor the Ginny sorted into Slytherin story I mentioned yesterday. In my first read of it, I raced through it and know that I probably missed enjoying it in it's complete form. I'm on a few Discords and one of them being Harry Potter Fanfiction Club. They have a vote every month to choose what fics the members can read together and discuss. This month they chose for Drarry aideomai's Dwelling. I'd read this masterpiece before but decided to look for a shorter fic by this amazing author. I chose Nice Things. OMG all 22K of this fic is such a treat. If you ever need a warm, dreamylike fic, choose this one. It's an 8th year fic where only 7 of the classmates come back. Ron, Harry, and Hermione are in the mix. Draco is there along with Theo. They are assigned to live in a cottage on the grounds of Hogwarts. The progression of Harry and Draco's relationship is lovely. Read it now or Bookmark it for later when the need for this type of fic hits...as we all know there are times it's needed.

Tumblr Posts of Interest:

I only have one today and that's just because I have a bit to say about it as it holds a special place in my fandom heart.

HD Fan Fair (Career Fair) is open for prompts! They have openings for 250 prompts and so far have 153. Prompt closing is on June 30th. Claiming begins on July 1st.

First of all, I think we need to give a huge shout-out to Fan Fair mod @phoenixacid. This will be her 10th year of modding this fest. I do believe she worked on it even earlier. Anyone who's modded a fest before knows the dedication it takes to see it through. Her co-mod, @sassy-cissa has been involved since 2018.

Here's a little history about this Fest

This fest has been going on annually since 2009, with the exception of 2011. It was conceived by @marguerite26 and myself, with @vaysh11 and Jamie2109 soon joining in. I was unable to mod for personal reasons that first year and only partially the second...after that I pretty much left fandom. Back then, you really couldn't just start a fest when other established fests were already on the calendar. It was considered impolite and it would be posted on LJ about what an arse you were. LOL When hd_inspired closed shop, we jumped in and took their spot in Autumn. Fan Fair started with Career Fair and then moved on to Travel Fair. Since then, they've had Book (books mentioned in HP), Sex, Food, and Pottermore Fairs with repeats for Career, Travel and Food. Both Inspired and then Fan Fair were novel in being a prompt fest as opposed to an exchange fest like @hd-erised (back then it was hd_holidays). We felt it gave greater control to the authors to write to a prompt they liked as opposed to be assigned one, which from personal experience can cause angst and meltdowns. That is why it was called a Fair as opposed to a fest. A fest usually meant an Exchange Fest.

When I came back to fandom, I about cried seeing that @Phoenixacid had not only kept Fan Fair alive but it was thriving. I wrote for it that first year I came back in 2021, and I made a promise to read and comment on every fic and art piece posted for the Fairs. I only skipped one fic last year. It was brilliantly written but was beyond my comfort level for psychological horror. I don't listen to Podfics, I'm sorry to say. When I used to commute hours to and from work, I could but now I don't have the where-with-all to pay attention.

So go PROMPT!!!!! And give tons of love to the two mods!!!! Mods are the backbone of fandom.

Tumblr Drarry Fic/Art Resource:

Did you know the amazing @snowgall created and maintains a Drarry fanart archive at @snowingalway. She had noticed that fandom art of old was being lost and artists were leaving fandom. The pieces available for viewing are those that the artists have given her permission to archive. She personally contacted the artists to ask for such permission. I think when you visit the sight and view what she's saved, you too will be thrilled and indebted for what she's done for Drarry fandom. Please not she also posts and collect current works, too!

Last Tidbit:

I mentioned yesterday that I'd be reccing a fic today. I'm going to hold off on that until tomorrow. This is long enough. *blushes again*
