Coming Soon...
We're happy to announce the first round of the BBC Merlin Rare Pair Fest! This is a prompt-based event that will focus on the lesser explored relationships (romantic & platonic), and run from August until November. For the sake of this fest, any work not focusing on Merlin & Arthur (as either romantic or platonic) will count as a rare pair.
Schedule:
Prompting: August 17th until August 31st - anyone will be able to leave up to 10 prompts through a form we'll share
September 1st/2nd: a list of all submitted prompts goes live
Claiming opens: September 3rd - anyone who would like to create for this part of the fest can claim a prompt by filling out another form. You do not need to have submitted prompts to do this, and submitting prompts does not mean you'll have to otherwise participate!
Works Due: November 5th - all creations created for a claimed prompt must be submitted to our AO3 collection. We will draw up a posting schedule by which works will be revealed over the next few weeks!
Posting Starts: November 13th, with one to two works per day.
As these fest formats somewhat tend to favour writers, the second part of this fest will be a Rare Pair Week run here on Tumblr in November, to give any and all visual artists some time to shine!
Monday, November 6th: Your Fave M/M Ship
Tuesday, November 7th: Your Fave F/F Ship 
Wednesday, November 8th: Fave F/M Ship
Thursday, November 9th: Fave Non-binary/Genderqueer Ship 
Friday, November 10th: Fave Poly Ship
Saturday, November 11th: Fave Gen Dynamic 
Sunday, November 12th: Free Choice 
Artists are still more than welcome to participate in any other parts of the fest (prompting, claiming, etc.) we just hope to make the fest more accessible to all mediums like this!
More detailed information on all parts of the event can be found on our blog, and we'll be sharing regular updates and information. That said, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
We can't wait for a great fest!

Look at this really lovely thing that was written for me for rarepair fest! You should all give it a read and let the author know how good it is!
Summary: Percival meets Gwaine at a winter fair and the two hit it off. Is this destined to be a one off, or something more?

HP Wedding Fest Recs
After a long reading break I’m trying to get my reccing mojo back and found a bit of energy to check HP Wedding Fest last night. If anyone’s up for some sweet shorts, I listed my favorites below. The Fest is still anon so let’s give it some love before the reveals! You can find the full collection here. Next up: Mpreg Fest!
Art:
💐 Wedding Photograph (G) - Harry/Draco
The happiest day of both of their lives.
Humour:
👦👦🏻 It's a Beautiful Night (I Think I Wanna Marry You) (G, 1.4k) - Albus/Scorpius
When his son asks Harry Potter to make a speech on his wedding day, then by Merlin is Harry Potter going to make a speech on his son’s wedding day!
Fluff:
💍 Something Borrowed (T, 3k) - Lily/James
Lily Evans and James Potter want their wedding to be a combination of both magical and Muggle traditions, honoring both of their backgrounds in the face of a society that says she doesn't belong. One particular Muggle tradition that Lily has her heart set on is “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” Simple enough, right?
Rare Pair:
🐸 Something Old, Something New (T, 3k) - Draco/Goyle
Draco said he would marry Goyle if they ended up single.
Angst:
🌊 Leeward (M, 8k) - Harry/Draco
After four years since their break up, Harry and Draco meet again at Dean and Blaise’s wedding. Now, between the turquoise sea and the white sand dunes of Fuerteventura, they will need to face their feelings.

Oops. 😬 Currently reading: Well, I’m going through 20+ pages for TBR on AO3, so there’s a lot to go through! 🤣 Lots of Sterek, and doing catch up on fest pieces for Drarry and HP rare pairs from 2022, tbh. Currently watching: More Teen Wolf 🐺 and Good Omens 😇 Currently consuming: Drinking some cinnamon oolong tea! 🫖 Currently craving: Caramel (and I’m snagging some shortly!) 🍬 Tagging (and no pressure to do this since it’s for funsies): @makeitp1nk, @crazybutgood, @fantasyborn, @vdoshu, @sterekbros, @raisesomehale, @theheadgirl, @vitaminpops, @hchollym, @broomsticks, @phoebe-delia , @phd-mama, @skeptiquex, @mirrorofliterature and anyone else who wants to join in!

Prompting now open!
The prompting form is finally live, please have at it with all the rare pair prompts you would love to see - romantic, platonic, poly, queerplatonic, we want it all!
There are only few rules and you can find them all indicated on the form, so without further ado:
Prompt Submission Form
The complete prompt list will be published after the form closes on August 31st, but before claiming opens on September 3rd, so you'll have time to look through it and decide which ones you'd like to go for. More detailed info on the claiming process will be shared then!
Please remember that while you're welcome to self-prompt, you do not need to submit said idea during the prompting period, and there would in fact be no guarantee that you'll be able to claim it if you do. You'll be able to simply sign up during the claiming process instead.
We can't wait to see what everyone's going to come up with!

🖤 mind tags 💞 so sweet 🔥 sex is on fire 😆 banter, hilarity
Week 4 - Kinkuary / Shipuary
rounded up some of my favs from the last week of these super fun February fests - lots of great rare pairs, SO many good reads! hope you enjoy!
A Different Dynamic by @sugareey-makes-stuff E // 200+art // Perciver // sex work & sensory deprivation // 🔥
"So lean and fit,” Oliver continued, who had to be standing close by now. “And you’re wearing a jock strap."
are you up? ;) by @softlystarstruck & @secretartlair E // 315+art // Drarry // sex toys // 🔥😆💞
im always bent babyyy
Boys Under the Lights by @samunderthelights E // 2677 // James Sirius/Albus Severus // sex work & filming 🔥🖤
“Sorry I interrupted,” James says, feeling his cheeks grow warm again when Albus touches the pearls that are still hanging on his neck.
Catch and Release by @vdoshu M // 1906 // Tomarry // tattoos // 🔥🖤
Lesson No. 1: There are monsters everywhere.
Coming Home by @postjentacular E // 992 // Wolfstar // tattoos // 💞🔥
"Next time," Remus promised, "we've plenty of next times."
Drops of Water by @lumosatnight T // 612 // James Sirius & Albus Severus // 💞
“Need you.” So soft, so small, like a confession ripped open.
I Like Tattoos by @zigster-ao3 E // 2K // Teddy/OMC // tattoos 💞🔥🔥🔥
He’d found a rune he recognised. It was the closest thing he’d seen to the one above Sirius’ heart. He scribbled a copy onto a spare bit of parchment as he read the meaning: safety, security, protecting loved ones.
Kinkuary 2022, pt 22 by @cannibalschism // M // 4K // Drarry // tattoos // 🔥💞
Harry tastes the cloves just as he used to when they were younger and thought there was more to the world than each other.
Light My Fire by @makeitp1nk E // 3K // Drarry // wax 🔥💞
Born of that fated flight above flames in the Room of Requirement, Draco had grown to associate the heat, the danger of fire with mind-altering desire. Harry felt flattered and a bit alarmed, but Draco was so happy with the searing sex, and he begged so sweetly.
nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands by @vocative M // 2K // Angelina Johnson/Katie Bell // hands // 💕
Katie doesn’t respond. It’s costing her everything she has not to lean back into Angelina’s touch. She wants to get closer, wants to let her eyes fall shut at the pleasurable feeling of Angelina’s hands in her hair. But she doesn’t want to scare Angelina away. Their friendship feels so delicate these days.
Obscene by @danni-the-puff E // 1864 // Snarry // a/b/o // 🖤🔥
Alpha. The word sings in the depths of his soul. Alpha, alpha — Severus wants to claw it out.
promise & proclaim by @glittering-git E // 260 // Draco/Harry/Teddy // bareback/creampie // 💞🔥
You think you’ve been ready for ages. Yes, please.
Serving Detention by @thebooktopus E // 1752 // Drarry // wildcard // 🖤🔥
Draco unfisted the hair and leaned back in his chair. "Well, go on then, put your mouth to use. Merlin knows you had no problem running it during class this afternoon.”
There's No You Without Him by @xxynnoxx E // 267 // Jeddy // 🖤🔥
Though, Teddy didn’t mind as much—it was the only time he could be genuine when they did this as he whispered back, “I love you, too, Jamie. So much.”
Vulnerability by @sketchyblondes M // 200 // Cho/Ginny // explicit sexual consent // 🔥💞
Listening to Cho with her raven-black hair and pink flushed cheeks say yes was better than any shot of firewhiskey, any championship trophy.
What are brothers for? by @greenmegsnoham E // James Sirius/Albus Severus/Scorpius Malfoy // 2K // double penetration // 🖤🔥🖤🔥
"I'm not usually one to share, but we are family now. And he seems more than willing."
For more info on my Kinky Shipuary posts, check out this post. I'm doing something completely different for March, more info here!

HP Inspired By Reveals!
Reveals are here! We’re so excited to share who wrote and created all our wonderful fics and art. 
To all our brilliant creators - thank you for your hard work, your creations are truly fantastic. Thank you for making this fest so brilliant. We’ve also sent you an email with some further information about the reveals process. 
Thank you to everyone who followed along with the fest and read, reblogged, liked, left kudos and comments - we know the fest participants appreciate them so much. It’s not too late to check out any creations you haven’t seen yet! 
Thank you for making this fest such a wonderful experience, and we hope to be back again next year. 
Your mods,  @candybarrnerd, @malenkayacherepakha, @shealwaysreads
Full reveals under the read more
Draco/Harry
A Pleasant View | Draco/Harry | 1k | E By Articcat621 | @articcat621
Draco can’t resist watching Harry in the shower, nor can he resist joining him.
Blow-By-Blow | Draco/Harry | 6.4k | E By P1013 | @p1013
Harry rolls his shoulders again, then reaches for the back of his shirt and pulls it over his head. The Aurors around him take a step back, and his side of the room falls quiet as he steps forward.
“Malfoy,” he shouts, drawing the blond’s attention from his friends to Harry. “You’re here for a fight, yeah?”
Malfoy gives Harry another contemptuous once-over. “I’ve yet to find one.”
“My apologies. Didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”
Dress To Impress | Draco/Harry | Art | E By ZandraGorin | @zandragorin
Harry has finally come to appreciate (look forward to) dressing up. It’s all Draco’s fault, really.
Hands of Forever, touch me | Draco/Harry | 3.2k | E By HogwartsToAlexandria | @hogwartstoalexandria
If either of them cared to be honest about this, they’d probably see how much of a long time coming them finding each other this way is. Neither Draco nor Harry were ever particularly good at introspection though, much less at communicating in such subjects as that of attraction, and feelings. So this way it is, and that’s ok.
"You want a tour or are you going to get your hands on me, Potter?”
Kiss me in the doorway | Draco/Harry | 7.7k | E By Primaveracerezos | @primavera-cerezos
“At Draco’s trial, Potter testified that Draco had acted only in fear of his life, for his parents’ lives. When the Wizengamot announced his pardon, hundreds of eyes were on him, but he only felt one gaze. He found Potter’s green eyes in the crowd, where he was insulated by layers of loyal friends. The expression on Potter’s face was painfully open, studying, curious. Draco returned it. He had questions too.”
Needs in the Darkness | Draco/Harry | 2k | E By Keyflight790 | @keyflight790
If he needed, Harry knew he could go to his Master and ask. He’d be rewarded, most of the time.
Ocean Eyes | Draco/Harry | 7.2k | T By Shealwaysreads | @shealwaysreads
Pale skin. Grey eyes. Sleek hair.
Some things are a constant in Harry’s life, and Malfoy is one of them. Until he isn’t—not the way he acts, and not the way he looks.
It might take Harry a little while to get used to it, but eventually he decides that change can be good, too.
push and pull you down | Draco/Harry | 5.2k | E By M0stlyVoid | @bonesliketambourines
Harry’s resigned himself to petty, inconsequential cases and no real connection to his job at the Auror department—after all, what else would he be doing with his time? He’s not happy, not really, but that hardly matters. A chance encounter with a mostly-naked Draco Malfoy exposes him to an entirely different world, one much more colourful than the lonely one he currently occupies—but at what cost?
Reconciliation | Draco/Harry | Art | G By PinkElephant42 | @pinkelephant43
Harry and Draco meet in the dark corner of the library.
Reflections in Moonlight | Draco/Harry | 4.5k | T By Static_Abyss | @static-abyss
A walk in the Forbidden Forest brings forth old regrets about Harry’s parents, about his future, and inevitably, about his past relationship with Draco. On a cold winter night under the moonlight, Harry learns he can find absolution in the unlikeliest of places.
Say My Name | Draco/Harry | 1k | M By HogwartsToAlexandria | @hogwartstoalexandria
Draco could get used to the kind of quiet that comes with having a sleeping Harry Potter in his bed while he sips his morning tea.
Scribbled Confessions | Draco/Harry | 9.2k | G By MotherBooker | @motherbookerao3
Draco finds a diary and discovers that the latest entries are all about him.
The Subtle Art of Arse Eating; or How Draco Learned to Be Open With His Desires and Had Mind-Blowing Sex | Draco/Harry | 4.1k | E By Adavision | @aedwritesfic
Talking about one’s fantasies is so much easier in the dark. With Harry’s gentle prompting, Draco is able to ask for what he wants in the bedroom and is ecstatic when Harry teaches him about the pleasures of rimming.
When you look like that | Draco/Harry | Art | G By Whileatwiltshire | @legendrarry
Alternate Universe where there are no dark lords and no sudden deaths lurking in the corner. But there is still a very blond looking Malfoy prancing about, and when he looks like that, Harry just can’t handle it.
Or,
It’s fourth year and Draco has just received his tailor made outfit for the yuleball.
Sirius/Remus and Sirius/Remus/James
Married Young | Sirius/Remus | 1.2k | G By Bluefay | @thesleepiesthufflepuff
Remus wakes up to a sweet surprise.
Signs of Affection | Sirius/Remus | 8.2k | G By KittyCargo | @kittycargo
“Hello, everyone! My name is-” the professor did something quick with his fingers and the interpreter paused for just a moment before continuing, “-Remus Lupin. I’ll be your teacher for ASL I.“
When Sirius learns that he’ll have a Deaf student in his class next year, he takes an ASL I summer course at his local community college. He didn’t expect the professor to be so attractive though.
Uncharted Slopes | Sirius/Remus, Sirius/Remus/James | 8k | E By Kattlupin | @kattlupin
After spending a week conquering the slopes of the Swiss Alps, boyfriends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin decide to engage in a different sort of adventure on the last day with the help of James Potter.
Draco/Hermione
Carved into the Stars | Hermione/Draco | 5.2k | T By Kiwipon | @donkiwi
In a world where the Golden Trio never existed, Draco Malfoy decides to be the change.
Enough for a Second Chance | Hermione/Draco | 5.2k | T By LadyKenz347 | @ladykenz347
Hermione finds peace in the shadows of the Forbidden Forest and with a Unicorn who seems as lost as she is.
Rare Pairs
Alice Asked For Spicy | Lily Luna Potter/Alice Longbottom II | 1k | M By Motherofmercury | @motherofmercury
Lily Luna Potter eyed the bra on the mannequin thoughtfully.  Just a few days ago, Alice had been saying they should try spicing up their sex life a little.  Lily tended to agree.  She thought of herself as rather a spicy person, but lately sex had been a little bit… tame.  Alice had even gone to her twin, Augusta, for sex advice, and Lily knew for sure that that girl was a deviant.  She could only thank Merlin Alice had left Uncle Nev out of it.
Lily Luna gets some new underwear and wears it to a family dinner in an attempt to fluster Alice.
every touch unravels | Harry/Charlie | 1.8k | E By Gracerene | @gracerene09
Harry’s got a surprise for Charlie.
Luxury | Narcissa/Lily | 2.1k | E By Houseofmalfoy | @malfoy
Narcissa Black had always enjoyed luxury.
Smoke Surrounds Your Perfect Face and I’m Falling | Narcissa/Bill | 3.4k | E By meditationsinemergencies | @meditationsinemergencies
In an arranged marriage with Lucius, Narcissa finds herself miserable, until she’s given a special gift.
The Third Date | Hermione/Pansy | 2k | E By Bluefay | @thesleepiesthufflepuff
For their third date, Hermione was expecting a lovely dinner out. Pansy, on the other hand, had different plans.

Why did you do so little to promote fics or, really, the whole Sandman big bang that you ran? You kept promoting Merlin fic fest while Sandman big bang was running. And yet you barely did anything for it! If you lost interest, why not relegate it to somebody else? There are a number of wonderful fic writers and fanartists who did not get even a fraction of the recognition they deserve because of your own shoddy organisation. And yes, I do know we all do this in all our free time blah blah, but you created this event, and promptly ditched it in favour of another fandom. This is bad fandom ethics, and I think you need to know it.
oh careful babe don't choke on that bitterness you're gurgling there.
real talk for a second because usually I don't answer this kind of shit but let's go there for a moment:
I did reblog SO much sandman bang promo, the round up posts, the masterlist several times even. I did not reblog every individual fic because, and this might be shocking to your sense of entitlement, but even as a mod, I do not read every single fic. i'm not obligated to; you can start paying me if you want to, then we can come back to that point and I'll read whatever you put in front of me. until then, I will keep my preferences while doing my hobby, thank you very much.
The Rare Pair Fest only started up during, like, the last week of the Bang. I've been running that bang for half a year. And i don't know what makes you think that one fest's promo would take away from another fandom's fest posting but ????? it does not. Also people can be multifandon. I get that might be complicated to integrate in such a narrow perspective on fandom, but idk how to explain to you that people can have multiple interest beyond like. touch some grass honey?
Lastly, we did, in fact, promote every single collaboration on the blog and in the server. Individually, again in round up posts, and again in a masterlist. I don't know where you get the idea that we didn't. I don't know where you get the idea that we lost interest, or organized things shoddily. Bangs, and fests in general, don't guarantee you recognition. No one fucking owes you recognition, in fact, not me, not a fandom, no one. And whenever you manage to take a moment away from being an irritating fucking nuisance in other people's inbox, maybe you should rethink your approach to fandom as a whole because you're clearly having issues, and I don't mean this as a burn but as a genuine "this clearly does not bring you joy and maybe you should find things that make you happy instead." You're welcome.
And yes, I do in fact do these things in my free time. Meanwhile you don't even have the courage to put your name to your lil bitch fit. Get better soon.

Hello! It's nearly the end of the month and I haven't asked you for a monthly fic rec in ages! I miss them! I would love to know your most recent one direciton reads, assuming you still read there. At any rate I hope you're safe and doing well! xx
Hello, you! Things here are okay, much better actually--you??? I’ve been reading heavily in the Merlin and Untamed fandoms lately, but I still read One Direction fic if I like the author and/or descriptions and such--here’s what I read slash enjoyed in the h/l category posted in February, many of them *very* new authors, which is always great to see, most of them short as well, which is a win win win! (note: there’s also been some AMAZING trans Harry/other pairings this month, too):
I'm a Mess Right Now, So Baby Help Me Out, maddd13, 1.2k. “Harry's frustrated after a bad interview. Louis bends him over the counter to make him feel better.” NUFF SAID, this feels like a PWP from 2013 in the very best way.
Come a Little Closer, It's Alright, @andtheywerebandmates, 1.7k. I love this fic so much, trans Louis and genderfluid Harry, part of a series, which makes me thank the ao3 gods above for the subscribe button. 
There's Fur Everywhere, LadyLondonderry, 4k. Five times Harry was confused about a bunch of fur in his never-locked car and one time he realizes it's because Louis's a werewolf. Love a good crack fic.
Is It Okay? larry_hiatus, 4k. Gimme gimme gimme Harry exploring nail polish, panties, and makeup and feeling slightly insecure (don’t know what for) about it.
Don't Get Me Wrong, @kingsofeverything, 5k. I can't help but hope a future timestamp shows how Louis's actually a master artist in the future, his terrible high school art is so hashtag relatable (only currently for me, too). 
Tired, habitxgolden91, 6.2k. Harry's insecure (don't know what for, no, I will NEVER STOP), but some dirty talk pulls him right out of it.
blue with the heart of a popsicle, @loveroflou, 6.9k. Sick fic mixed in with some gender exploration is a-okay in my book! The author also just posted Bloom, another soft exploration of gender, this time with flowers, too. Bliss!
There with Open Arms, @cupcakentea, 7.6k. a/b/o dynamics, and RARE is the fic that has beta Louis, but I'm a huge champion of omega Harry, solid gaybo fest vibes is a solid win for all!
you and all of heaven's other wonders, @thedevilinmybrain, 25k. Look, I am not an angel fic fan, but I LOVED this author’s last work, so I gave it a shot and wasn’t disappointed. Start of a series, too? Okay!
Of Mates and Men, bananheathen, tbc. This sweet, soft, warm, fuzzy sweater of a wip updates every two weeks or so, if you’re into a slow burn in your inbox in real time kind of vibe.
