“Well, even if we went through with it, it wouldn’t work. But thanks for the grand heroic rushing in. A certain element of purity is needed to break it." Malfoy licks his lips, "You’d have to be a virgin.”
Harry keeps every muscle on his face particularly still, hoping it looks to Malfoy as absolutely blank as it feels to him. Half a minute passes.
“No,” Malfoy, already doing a poor job of sitting normally on his chair, bends in half, nearly falling out of it. He’s laughing. “No, Potter, no. No- don’t- you’re twenty-five years old!”
“And?” Harry asks, heat staining his face.
-
Malfoy has a problem, Harry wants to help.

drarry fic recs loosely based on my post: fics where harry has a praise kink / draco's dirty talk makes harry's brain fuzzy and needy.
i especially love fics where draco calls him "sweetheart" or "darling", so cute and hot when he says it so naturally, feels so intimate and loving.
mostly pwps and dmhp fics.
***
the way you say my name by innerlilith (5k)
the inspiration for this post... the reason why my brain chemistry transformed, the reason for my obsession with sweet pet names. their relationship develops in such a real way, the banter is so drarry. you can feel the sexual (and romanticl!) tension build and build until it breaks and the climax is SO satisfying. also really love draco's "unhinged flirt" characterization. harry getting so hot under the collar is just *chef's kiss*.
far from the tree by aideomai (112k)
reason #2 for this post. it's THE fic. need i say more? you just have to read it. draco can't believe harry would want him, yet he's posessive and can't let him go. harry's obsessed and will do anything to protect him. throw in some angst, mystery, kinky times, next gen kids, draco calling harry "darling" (and subsequently changing the trajectory of my life), and voila! a masterpiece.
dinner and diatribes by hephaestiions (5k)
legilimency sex is SO UNDERRATED. another fic that altered my brain chemistry and lives in my mind rent-free. established loving relationship, with draco knowing how to help and ruin harry. be his peace of mind and make him crackle with sexual need and wild magic. it's a truly delicious fic that is filthy, intimate, and comforting. "to forever and a day" is such a devastating declaration of love.
back where we began by cassiara (25k)
oh. my. god. the way it's slightly teacher/student dynamics but not really, combined with accidental bonding and sorta legilimency because harry is impulsive and curious and obsessed with draco's voice in his head. like??!
stamina spells pleasure by lettered (10k)
bonkers multiple orgasms fic with dom draco and magical spells for sexy times! when i say harry deserves to be RAILED and reduced into a needy little mess, i mean this!
knot your average coworker by @thecouchsofa (22k)
werewolf draco and oblivious harry! subtle praise kink, great feisty banter. sweet and hot fic about harry's desire to care for draco, and draco being baffled by that. also, harry's obsessed with his knot 😏 that is all.
bonus fics (not so much about praise kink):
the earth from a distance by spqr / @andthepeople (15k)
genius and competent draco and action-oriented, need-to-be-useful harry! masterful world-building about 16th century hogwarts, lovely speculative twist on life in the past. survival-based co-dependent relationship turned into intimate & loving romance.
paragraph twelve, clause four by innerlilith (15k)
innerlilith knows how to write lust and tension with longing and gentleness. this is all about quidditch player harry and his sexy bodyguard draco, with a silly premise of hearing your love/hate crush wank loudly next door. the scene where draco begs to see more and how his words make harry turn into a puddle... the push and pull, the burning need, you just have to be there, the build up is so worth it.

Favourite Drarry recs (long fics maybe? pretty please?) that are ideally to enjoy this Spring season ?
Hello again! That’s a great ask - I have a long fic rec list that you might find interesting, but this inspired me to do something more specific with Spring vibes feat house renovations, cooking as love language, gardening, domesticity, no angst romance etc etc etc. This is 100% based on my own perception of spring vibes btw, but I hope you’ll enjoy these as much as I did!
💐 Short fic:
magic in the making by @getawayfox (G, 2k)
I didn’t see Malfoy for a year after the trial. When Gin told me that, according to Pansy, he had opened a little posh bakery in Mayfair, I thought she was joking, so I went to see for myself.
Market Saturdays by @sorrybutblog (M, 3k)
In which Harry is an accidental part-time cheesemonger, Draco is an organic farmer and they fall in love. Not an AU.
The Long Fall by @tackytigerfic (M, 3.6k)
It's supposed to be a simple house renovation, and maybe it's just the paint fumes, but Harry is feeling dizzy around Draco Malfoy. And what's the real meaning of family, anyway?
Ice Snakes, Glow-worms and Wolverine Stew by khalulu (M, 8k)
Harry Potter apparently wants to talk to Draco about something, but odd events keep getting in the way of that conversation – and bringing them closer together. Featuring serpentine travels, misbehaving birds, dubious roofing projects, a gay beach, and an unexpected matchmaker.
Life goes not backward by @shealwaysreads (T, 9k)
Harry still isn’t used to gifts, but this one is different. A story of coming home, finding safe ground, and the wild courage of putting down roots.
A Truth Universally Acknowledged by @sorrybutblog (M, 17k)
A year out from the war, Harry agrees to accompany Hermione on a historical walking tour of Pride and Prejudice. Not in the itinerary: running into Draco Malfoy, setting off a summer of stately homes, lavish parties, resentful shagging, and maybe, falling in love.
amid this warm and steady sweetness, orphaned (E, 21k)
Harry is not living in a period drama, no matter what his friends or his new house or Malfoy’s sudden affinity for horse-riding might suggest, and if one more person uses the word courting, he’s going to start hexing people.
💐 Long fic
Moldova's Magical Tea by @aibidil (E, 32k)
Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and—to everyone’s surprise—Draco Malfoy are opening a magical tea shop to revive wizarding tea culture and, hopefully, to bring the community together after the war. Harry, who is unemployed and trying to find his way in post-war society, wants to help his friends with their new business—but that means spending a lot of time around Malfoy.
Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (E, 36k)
According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot.
Follow the Water by @xanthippe74 (T, 40k)
Harry Potter’s life is fine. Maybe a little dull and predictable, but he shouldn’t complain about that, right? When he unexpectedly finds himself at Luna’s house one afternoon, Harry gets invited to join the secret wonderland that she’s creating with a surprising group of friends. Maybe a summer outdoors is just what a former hero needs to bring some zest back into his life.
Through the May Air, Over the Ocean by tsauergrass (T, 45k)
Draco Malfoy never expected to find himself in Scotland or being stuck in a cottage with Potter—but wonders never cease. A story about warmth, a story about falling back in love. A story about a flock of sheep in the distant fells of Scotland.
Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses (E, 46k) - Muggle AU
Harry Potter, returning member of the Oxford University Boat Club, has two goals for the spring of 2005: beat Cambridge, and beat Draco Malfoy. Perhaps not in that order.
Sweeten to Taste by @saintgarbanzo, @babooshkart (E, 51k)
It starts with Draco's buckwheat crepes with honeyed oranges. Or maybe it starts with his porridge with toasted walnuts and homemade apple butter. Or perhaps it starts with the cinnamon buns Draco made from scratch with mascarpone icing. Harry just knows he's hungry for more.
Against All Odds by momatu (E, 54k)
Beauxbatons is hosting the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe, and Harry has promised to enroll Teddy as his birthday present. Meanwhile, Draco is stuck in his office, putting together the first ever Quidditch Summer School for children from all over Europe during, when he should be enjoying summer holidays.
What Branches Grow by @the-fools-errand (M, 55k)
When a run-of-the-mill investigation turns up evidence that the Death Eaters may be resurfacing, Harry seems to be the only one who believes Malfoy has anything to do with it. Yet according to official records, he’s been the poster child for the Ministry’s post-war Rehabilitation program, living in a small muggle town in Wales.
Meet Me at Midnight by @the-starryknight (T, 57k)
Harry was beginning to wonder if he’d ever make anything again when Malfoy stormed through the door of Harry’s furniture shop. Now Harry’s got an impossible Ministry commission to finish, and even less energy than ever to deal with his elusive muse. That is, until he stumbles upon the surreal and beautiful world of a mysterious fae creature…
Stately Homes of Wiltshire by waspabi (E, 58k)
Malfoy Manor has mould, dry rot and an infestation of unusually historical poltergeists. Harry Potter is on the case.
The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy (M, 66k)
How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy. Harry finds himself once more watching and following Malfoy, trying to work him out. When they are drawn together to heal the castle, Harry doesn’t just find Malfoy - he also finds himself.
Home Truths by @skeptiquewrites and @fantalfart (E, 67k)
In the off-season Harry decided to fix up Grimmauld Place and found that Draco Malfoy was the only person who could help him. A demanding career and unrelenting press scrutiny were enough to deal with before Harry added a house with a mind of its own, family history, and a tense, flirty, complicated relationship with his childhood nemesis to the mix.
The Claiming of Grimmauld Place by @bixgirl1 (E, 74k)
When Grimmauld Place begins fighting against Harry’s ownership of it, he decides he needs help to train the historic home — but little does he expect that it’ll be Malfoy who’s most suitable for the challenge. However, as Malfoy and Harry get closer, Harry comes to understand that expectations aren’t always the best path by which to guide his heart — and in the process learns just what is needed to make a house a home.
Knead by laughingd0g (E, 83k)
This is not a story about Harry renovating Grimmauld Place. This is a story about coffee shops and brewpubs, about Ginny and Luna on a farm with creatures, about magical Oregon, coastal road trips, flying, friendship, and Draco Malfoy's lean arms.
Wild, orphaned (E, 92k)
“No,” Harry said, by way of greeting. Malfoy’s blonde head rose slowly, carelessly. “Get out.” “I feel as though we’ve already established this, Potter,” Malfoy responded. “And I feel that what we established was that you telling me to get out of places really doesn’t make me more likely to vacate them.”
Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them (or Draco Malfoy's Guide to Stop Dying and Start Living Instead) by nerakrose, dustmouth (T, 96k)
Malfoy is way too interested in coroner reports for somebody who's definitely not looking for ways to die, Harry wants to be friends with him, and Ginny wants to break up with Harry.
The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 103k)
This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.
Any Instrument by @dictacontrion (E, 131k)
Draco Malfoy wouldn't go back to England for anything less than an exceptional case. Being asked to figure out why Harry Potter can't control his magic might be exceptional enough to qualify.

Do you have favorite Drarry tropes :)?
Hi Anon! Thank you for sending this ask and giving me an excuse to make another self-indulgent rec list. It was so much fun - mainly because I haven’t been reading much in the last few weeks, so revisiting my favourites for this has been an absolute blast. 
I’m a soft bean and while I will read and enjoy angsty tropes on occasion, you’ll more likely find me searching for wholesome stories. And smut. So, here is a handful of favourites for my most sought-after tropes. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I do!
👬 Established relationship
Dragon by @lqtraintracks (M, 356 words) Things get interesting when your husband's Patronus is a Romanian Ridgeback.
It Is I Who Will Surely Expire by @tepre (T, 1k)
I call this: Draco Malfoy is super awake at 3AM staring at the ceiling going over dramatic doom scenarios (while Harry drools on his chest)
Through the Window, Clear Skies by @tackytigerfic (M, 1.4k)
What would happen if Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy moved in together, too soon after they started kissing and then fucking and not hating each other anymore? Will Draco insist on a wine rack? Or: Domestic Drarry with a bare hint of angst.
acts of service by @oknowkiss (E, 5.6k)
Harry's sick, and Draco just wants to take care of him, but they're two idiots in love, so it couldn't possibly be that easy.
✨Bonus: this piece by @bluebutter-art
🤍 Found family
Take the Moon by @tackytigerfic (M, 15k)
Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. Living with Draco (biscuit-lover, no work/life balance, good hair) and his son Scorpius (also biscuit-lover, colour-codes his bricks, proud bearer of plastic swan-shaped garden ornament) gives Harry the routine and companionship he’s always craved. There’s also the matter of the really great sex (because what’s a marriage of convenience without a little fun, after all?) It's just a shame they’d always planned to break up after a year… This isn't the story of the marriage. This is the story of two hurt and damaged men who learned how hard they could work for the sake of love.
Beneath the Wave by @moonflower-rose (M, 30k)
Harry is done with a life in the spotlight. No more adventures, no more mortal peril. He wants a quiet life of food and friends, and family. He even manages to have it for a while, until suddenly there are giant rabbits that need ferrying to a mysterious island, and a handsome Draco Malfoy, and Harry's right back in the middle of the action again, despite his best efforts.
Pages of You by @wolfpants (E, 101k)
Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't. In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire. A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.
Make This Leap by @oflights (M, 118k)
Harry owns a struggling restaurant which is running out of money, and his Head Chef has just handed in notice. He's at a bit of a loss as to what to do until Narcissa Malfoy presents an obvious solution: bring in Draco Malfoy as Chef and part owner. Harry does.
✨Bonus: more art by @bluebutter-art
🍋 Smut with feelings
First Times by @fw00shy (E, 1.5k)
Their first time is in the loo.
Your Breath, My Lungs by @wolfpants (E, 1.7k)
I try not to think of the years we have behind us. School was a lost cause, it was always going to be a lost cause, but in the time since—Eighth Year, all of us cautiously coming together the way we had, how we all ended up, how we are now, nine years later, friends and loved ones and infinitely intertwined—I can’t help but worry if it’s too late for us. Maybe I’ve waited too long to tell him how I feel. - During a friend's engagement party, Harry finally tells Draco how he feels about him.
Flip/Fuck by @shealwaysreads (E, 1.8k)
Switch: to give up (something) and take something else in return
The Night of the Fireworks by @corvuscrowned (E, 6.3)
It isn't easy keeping a relationship a secret, especially when it's so new. So if Harry and Draco can find a moment to sneak off for some alone time, they're going to take it - even if it happens to be during Ginny and Luna's wedding party.
✨Bonus: Cake by the Ocean by @bluebutter-art (E, art)
On Harry's 42nd birthday, Draco treats him to a romantic getaway at the Malfoy's private beach in Sicily.

Woah, I think this is my longest time between fics! I took my time reading this because I had a conversation with myself that went something like, "You need to not just work and read Drarry fanfiction. you're an adult!" Did it work? Only time will tell! (Nope, I just read Drarry)
Grounds for Divorce by Tepre
Main Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy
Type: Post Hogwarts - accidental soul bonding/forced proximity
Spice: 8/10
Word Count: 122,217
POV: Harry
Also this song felt applicable:
My Summary:
After Draco finds a family heirloom that may have been from one of Harry's distant relatives, Harry decides he wants to know more. They find themselves accidentally bonded after touching a letter cursed with soul magic. How will they handle this new link that bonds them together?
My Thoughts:
It's a long one lads and I'd honestly only recommend reading more if you've read it!
TLDR; I'm not a slow burn angst fan, and this has a lot of that. It's well written and has a lot of great moments, but it took me a while to get through. The characters feel so real that I think you feel anxious or angry on their behalf.
I once read that when you turn in something to someone, you shouldn't say things like "this was the worst" or "this isn't my best work" or "you won't like this." The reason for this is that the person will be influenced by that sentence. They will go in thinking it's bad and therefore possibly noticing more of the bad than good because that's what they are expecting.
The author left a note about how much people disliked Harry and that if you think you can't handle the Harry she depicts, not to read it. I went in with a bad impression of Harry because of this. I tried to keep an open mind but every time Harry made a decision I disliked I would have to stop reading. (Why it took me so long to read I think) Everytime something would happen I'd think Harry isn't going to handle this well and I'd just stop reading.
I think its super important though to say that you have to imagine the whole situation. As a reader it was super easy to see how Harry's choices affected everyone, specifically Draco. They are also so young something I honestly didn't think of until the end when they reminded us that when the whole thing starts they are 19.
I honestly thought the writing was very good and the story was engaging and well thought out. Their love story is very real in they way Harry falls in love with Draco only after Draco starts to be comfortable with himself. Once I got through the whole thing I was glad I read it.
I don't entirely agree with how Harry was characterized in this fic but I think I can understand why Harry could be the way he is in this fic. I do think Draco was characterized well but we don't get too much of his thoughts or insight other than what Harry sees.
Even after saying all that, I can't express enough how much I think it means that it can make me think this much. These characters felt so real, and the emotions they felt seeps into the reader in a way I didn't expect.

☆ Introduction ☆
Hi! You can call me Starz! (I have a few other names but this one is funky lol)
I'm 21 years old, I use them/them pronouns and if you just give me a nudge, i Will talk your ears out about my hc about the valkyries and the black sisters. Oh also fuck Joanne, hope you choke <3
Working on a register of marauders nicknames because it gets confusing :(+ new idea for the girls.
I'm mostly into:
✦ The Valkyries
✦ The Black Sisters (and their parents & partners)
✦ The Marauders
✦ And a sprinkle of Slytherin Skittles, Batfamily and Golden trio era (mostly Drarry)
(✦ Merlin is always in my mind but also I don’t wanna interact with it too much bcs they genuinely make me sick like I feel so strongly about them.)
Favorite ships:
Dorlene, Marylily, Pandalily, Jegulily, Quillkiller (+ Zabini on the weekend), Nobleflower, Noblesilver (Narcissa x Zabini), Wolfstar, Poppy x Minnie, and Sybill x Peter.
But honestly I can be sold anything that isn't icky (big age gap, power imbalance, INCEST, etc) if you’re convincing enough. I’m not a big fan of straight ships tho I’m gonna be frl… but any queer ship? Slay!
Fav platonic ships: Marlene & Peter & James, Marlene & Sirius, Moonflower
Favorite characters:
✶ Marlene McKinnon
✶ Peter Pettigrew
✶ Narcissa Malfoy
✶ Evelyn Zabini
✶ and honestly all the girlies ( Lily, Pandora, Mary, Dorcas, ...)
Beliefs, favorite headcanons and stuff under this (take a peek) :)
Things i believe in that can be controversial(?):
Begging people to stop making Peter fucking skinny I'm being so serious, I WILL block you. (also when people don't include Pete as a member of the group like he was chosen as Secret Keeper because he was their BEST FRIEND be frl)
Lily Evans is polyamorous and she's so real for that (with maybe a hint of aromantic vibes tbf)
PANDORA DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME PERSONALITY AS LUNA *cries* no but frl like Xenophilius is right there being a fucking Luna clone and you're gonna give her personality to Pandora?? (i need to get more into how i see her, will make a post at some point lol) Also I don't believe in the hc that she's a Rosier and Evans twin.
If you're gonna redeem Barty and Evan, you cannot go and shit on Bellatrix like let's be serious. You definitely can not like her but why are you over there calling her a psycho (derogatory).. have you seen your boys? (also people are sleeping on the Black Sisters as a whole)
Sybill Trelawney is such an interesting character and I think giving so much of her characteristics to Pandora water them both down. Also the angst is so good? Like come on guys (more on this)
I actually think Severus Snape is an interesting characters.
You shouldn't buy official merch or tickets to events or anything that would give money to jkr because that makes her believe people support her in her views about Trans People.
Favorite headcanons:
✮ Peter, James and Marlene being childhood best friends
✮ Fat Lily my beloved <3
✮ Dorcas and Marlene doing each other's hair every month after getting together (Dorcas dye Marlene's hair blonde and Marlene learn how to braid so she can do new protective styles for Dorcas)
✮ Bellatrix, Rita and Evelyn being the Diamonds and terrorising Hogwarts when they were there.
✮ Peter k!lling Marlene :)
More about me:
My first language is French. I have the shittiest sleep schedule known to man. I am a professional yapper.
I'm absolute shit with tone so might use tone indicator (but tbf the wonder of # here are making this much easier)
If you couldn’t tell from my choices up there, I fucking love angst. I’m writing sad shit and giggling, I’m writing happy shit so the angst is sadder. I Will make you cry (hopefully).
I’m also mad silly.
I have a few others account in the marauders community (Insta, Tiktok, Ao3, ...) but it's a secret (lol)
If you’re interested in what I like to say here, just look up the #starz yap tag, it’s what I use when I have ideas that I write more deeply about. :) + #starz hc for when it’s a personal add on headcanon (lots of them are Sybill actually lmao)
Alright i think that covers it up. Hope you enjoy my account! P.S: idm stalking of my page and spamming lol so go for it (I do it by accident all the time… #starz struggle)
☆Yeehaa☆
oh also i'm a Marlene kinnie. kiss.

Guys…the drarry angst…it’s been hitting so hard recently…I don’t know if I can survive this…
Like…imagine draco keeps seeing Harry and Ron get their homemade Christmas jumpers and he doesn’t even attempt to ask his father or mother for one, because he’ll be laughed and waved off, told to deal with it.
So Draco sits back and watches until third year, when he picks up a couple of knitting needles he finds laying around and some yarn that may or may not be stolen from a certain cat of a certain caretaker, and he gets to knitting.
It’s hard at first and he STRUGGLES but a month in he’s got the hang of it and the late hours of the night are now spent with his curtains drawn and knitting needles in hand.
And when the next Christmas rolls around, he’s got a bit of a wonky green jumper with a D on the front that looks a little more like an O, but it’s okay, cause it’s handmade and he wears it proudly.
That’s of course until Harry Potter walks past him and Ron says “I thought purebloods didn’t wear hand me down clothing” with a snicker and he sees Harry hide a laugh behind his hand and that was it.
Draco shoves the stupid thing under his bed and never brings it out again, certain of nothing if not the fact he’ll never have his own Molly Weasley to knit him a jumper, and he never will, because Harry Potter always seems to have everything, and Draco has nothing.
No real friends, no handmade jumpers, no Christmas to go home to save a few house elves bringing him eggnog on Christmas morning, and no Harry Potter laughing with him, only at him.
WHAT THE FUCK GUYS. IM CRYING SOBBING SCREAMING. I LOVE DRACO SO MUCH. THIS IS LESS DRARRY ANGST AND MORE DRACO ANGST BUT I LOVE HIM YOU DONT UNDERSTANDDDD I FEEL FOR THIS BOY SO DEEPLY 😭😭😭😭

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you so much for the tag @lettersbyelise. loved reading yours here!
How many works do you have on ao3?
63 under my tacky account and I think 2 under my brasstacks account.
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
On my tacky account: 358,302.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Only HP so far (plus, inexplicably, one Witcher fic even though i wasn't even really into the show let alone in the fandom). I have an idea for a Steve x Eddie fic (stranger things) and an F1 fic (i don't know the fandom or the real life people at all but I am obsessed with the writing of @boxboxlewis and have, fatally, had An Idea for a galex fic as a result. pray for tacky, i can't afford another hyperfixation, the one i have is bad enough). but they will probably never get written, alas. i barely get my drarry stuff done!
4.. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I never check my stats - i don't have them blocked or anything, it just doesn't occur to me. I also think it's a really unhelpful way of judging the merits of a fic. Fandom is supposed to be fun, and a fic can be great in many different ways for many different people, and none of that can accurately be conveyed by how many hearts people leave. That said, I appreciate every reader i get so much - I never ever imagined people would read my fics so each person who does gets a whole lotta love from me. However for the purposes of this ask i did go into my stats section to have a look and here we go, it might be a surprising one as i suspect Modern Love is probably my most recced:
If It Takes All Night: quick oneshot i wrote for Lock Down Fest, forced bonding, quidditch buddies, friends to lovers.
A Lick and a Promise: My first long fic, a case fic involving an auror/unspeakable team who go undercover as Hogwarts professors to solve a crime at the school. oh and they also happen to be fuckbuddies already.
Modern Love: My own favourite, also my longest fic (so far, mwahaha). Muggle world Draco, depressed Harry learns to love himself and falls in love with Draco along the way.
Through the Window, Clear Skies: 1.4k of love story. so fond of this one as it's the first fic i wrote where i felt like i had finally clicked stylistically. it was the start of me learning to write in my own style rather than trying to emulate the fics i loved to read.
And One to Play: Gosh, i actually do not really remember what this is about. auror partners? Harry loves clothes in this one i remember. And it's about weather magic. I was so proud of this one when i wrote it and really learned a lot at the start of my fic writing journey.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Just like Elise, I would love to but I fell massively behind after Modern Love posted and never got my momentum back. I am currently about 3 years behind though i do try to reply whenever i can. i absolutely treasure comments and i really miss interacting with readers. at the moment it's a choice between writing new stuff and replying to comments. i also never ever mind when an author doesn't reply to my comments so i figure people will allow me the same grace.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Some people might say it's Last Offices as that's MCD, but my own choice would be The Quiver of a Heartstring because of the sheer hopelessness of it. Depends on your particular flavour of angst i think.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of my fics are cheerful, I suppose Modern Love as there are two follow up fics so you get to see them happy in both of those, as well as in the epilogue?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
not much that anyone tells me about! Someone did feature one of my fics (ironically, the one with most kudos) on some horrible mean-spirited blog about crap mary-sues, which was probably the most out-and-out horrid thing i've come across. i wasn't upset by it, but i did think it was a surprisingly shitty thing to do about anyone's fics! I also had someone leave me very very long comments on one of my fics asking me to explain why I made Harry so mean, and then went on reddit and posted some long posts about the same thing (naming the fics they had a problem with, including mine). bizarre! i have never had out and out hate comments, thankfully. just the usual WELL ACKSHULLY type "concrit" that really just means "i didn't like how you did this, so i'm going to let you know in detail about it". to which i say, off you fuck, buddy, and learn some self-awareness. and brush up on your grasp of fandom etiquette while you're at it.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes i do, not necessarily all the time and sometimes it's more M or T rated hints. I read fic for the romance and sex is part of that. and i write what i want to read.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No i don't, though after chats with my resident F1 expert @sweet-s0rr0w I wondered about writing a racing AU where one of them crashes and ends up in a fiery inferno but walks out of it. only they've come back wrong.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of, i would absolutely hate that though.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
earlier fics yes, but now i ask that people not translate my fics. this is because if i need to delete all my works off AO3 at any point, i would prefer to have them all in one place to scrub them. i know it doesn't work like that but it's just one of those irrational worries i have and it gives me the illusion of control!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes! Body Electric with @shealwaysreads which is a Drarry bodyswap. And Dreaming Skies with @sweet-s0rr0w which was the Dron dragon-tamer getting together fic of my dreams. love a collab, what a privilege to get to work with such talented people!
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Drarry absolutely 100% no questions asked. I've never had another ship and never will. my brain just isn't made that way. it's a pain but it is what it is.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
None, i have quite a few WIPs but I feel like I could go back to any of them at some point. I'd never say never on a fic tbh. if i started writing it, i had a reason. some WIPs i have from years back are: quidditch fic where Draco buys the team Harry plays for, Master of Death Harry fic where he is reckless after the war and Draco dies due to trying to keep up with him, and Harry has to go get him back... umm political fic about a corrupt Ministry where Dudley has a magical baby and Harry and Draco take the kiddo (and Dudley!) and go on the run. i probably have more that i've forgotten.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Not being disingenuous but it's harder for me to appreciate my strengths as I tend to be too immersed in my own writing to have any distance. I think maybe, going by what people have said, I am able to capture a mood? And i write love in a loving way.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
From my own perspective, my weaknesses are being too slow (it takes me ages to write anything), inability to focus for long, and not being a good plotter.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Yeah, I think that's fine! i'm not sure what this question refers to tbh 🤔😂 I mean, if it works in the story then it works. I have never done it myself other than in Our Little Life which is a multiverse fic where Harry gets visions of multiple other lives with Draco through space and time. In it they speak Middle English, Latin, Irish... i think that's all?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter. i actually wrote an angsty Draco x Ron oneshot YEARS ago (it was called Take This Longing and i went by perfidia back then and i can see the link on the wayback machine but the fic itself is lost sadly.. or actually that might be a good thing) but then I never wrote anything at all ever again until i started writing fic in 2019. i have never been in another fandom and i don't think i ever will. i don't know why i've imprinted so hard on these two idiots but here we are. I have also started writing original work in recent years, again not something i ever imagined doing but it's lovely and satisfying in different ways to the way fic writing is! so i feel very lucky tbh.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Probably Modern Love. It is exactly the fic i wanted it to be, and people who read it seem to get what I wanted to give. and you can't say fairer than that.
Tagging @blamebrampton @boxboxlewis @citrusses @epitomereally @maesterchill @mintawasalreadytaken @porcelainheart3 @shealwaysreads @skeptiquewrites @sweet-s0rr0w @teacup-tai if you fancy it! and anyone who wants to play.

Hello everyone, I am ellie. I am new to tumblr and HP fandom. I completed the movies and slowly progressing with books (as fast as my law school allows). I am 21+ and I want my partner to be of same.
I ship drarry and I am looking for some drarry role plays. I type semi lit (can't type much due to median nerve compression so my replies tend to be on shorter side) though I am okay with whatever length you want to type.
I can rp on email, tumblr and discord.
I am okay with anything except gore, infidelity among ship, too much angst fight among ship. I am okay with nsfw, though need to discuss about the details beforehand. Since, I am very pro snape and love him so I won't tolerate any Snape bashing in rp.
I prefer to play Draco but I am open to try Harry too.
Since, I am new to rp so please be considerate and if you want to rp, drop a message. You can even like the post and I will text.
If there is any issue from my side, I would prefer to talk and sort it out. I understand that there is real life so reply speed is not a concern but if you are going to be off for more than a month then please try to let me know. Also, if at any point you feel like you want to discontinue rping with me. Just let me know, I will understand. Please just don't ghost me.
Thank you
Request :
I really appreciate all those who are trying to help my post get reach by liking it. But I would request you not to like the post if you are not interested in rp. Since, I already mentioned for people interested in rp to like the post and I will reach out to them. Actually it's very awkward for me to reach out people and then I get to know they wanted to help me. I really appreciate your help but the entire thing turns out to be awkward for my socially anxious self. So, please don't like the post if you aren't interested in rp. I request you. Also, I am sorry if I sound rude or I hurt anyone. That's not my intention.

Your Reverse Bang mods @writcraft and @gracerene
In the Shape of Things to Come written by @academicdisasterfic​ with art by @kryptidfox​  [Explicit, 15.6k] Summary: Existential angst and chronic boredom are plaguing Harry Potter in his cushy post-war life. However, a chance encounter with a tattooed, pierced, disgruntled Draco Malfoy in the middle of Muggle Camden seems to spark something in Harry again—and he never could stay away from Malfoy.
Ft. assorted methods of body modification, eclectic but loving friends, a wide variety of grunge music, long tube rides, and a whole lot of trans love. -kryptidfox’s AO3 Art Post
Forever Was a Lie written by @thesleepiesthufflepuff with art by dustmouth [Explicit, 22k] Summary: After breaking up with Charlie, Harry heads to Rome for Christmas to search for answers to a previous heartbreak. What he doesn’t expect is for Draco, the man who broke his heart five years ago, to be running the bed and breakfast he’s staying at. -dustmouth’s AO3 Art Post
...And They Were Co-Teachers written by @goblinmatriarch with art by @betty26blue [Teen, 31.5k] Summary: Ten years after the war, Harry leads a contented life teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, with a collection of fellow new teachers keen to make some changes. When Draco Malfoy temporarily joins the staff while he finishes his Potions mastery, Harry is worried his contentment will be short-lived. -Betty26Blue’s AO3 Art Post  
Deadheading the Odd Dahlia written by @peachpety​ with art by @beyondtheclose [Explicit, 8.7k] Summary: Harry is content to spend his days at Draco’s flower stall at the farmers market, burying his true feelings in artisanal coffee and rose bouquets. When forced to find new lodgings, he accepts Draco’s offer to live in a cottage at Malfoy Manor, and his long-hidden crush blossoms out of control. Turns out, proximity makes the heart grow fonder. -beyondtheclose’s AO3 Art Post -beyondtheclose’s Tumblr Art Post
Edificabo written by @doubleappled​ with art by @iaooa​ [Explicit, 18.6k] Summary: Numb and exhausted after the war, Harry returns to the only real home he’s ever known. Hogwarts needs help, too. -Iaooa’s AO3 Art Post  
Déjà Vu written by @maesterchill​ with art by @celilasart​ [Explicit, 11k] Summary: After being released from Azkaban, Draco Malfoy begins having peculiar visions, which turn out to be premonitions. Gradually, with the help of his unusual gift, Draco becomes a rather useful member of society. He also has dirty fantasies about Harry Potter, but that's nothing new. -LLAP115′s AO3 Art Post -LLAP115′s Tumblr Art Post
The Heart Remembers written by @ladderofyears​ with art by @rasha-dee​ [Explicit, 28.7k] Summary: Harry Potter and Draco are married, in love and raising a family. Everything is wonderful but, one day, disaster befalls their happy lives. Harry is hit with a Forgetting Curse and can't remember anything about their romance. As far as he knows, Draco is still the petulant bully he knew at Hogwarts. Harry is frightened, defensive, and stuck in St Mungo's.
But Draco isn't willing to give up on his husband. This is the story of how he wins his Harry back, and helps him to regain his memories. -rasha_dee’s AO3 Art Post
Blame Is Shaped Like A Circle written by @sleepstxtic​ with art by @gnarf​ [Teen, 7.1k] Summary: Harry and Draco take you through the story of their life together. -gnarf’s AO3 Art Post -gnarf’s Tumblr Art Post
The Final Case of Auror H.J. Potter written by @pennygalleon​ with art by @caroll-in​ [Explicit, 14.6k] Summary: Ten years after he started, Harry Potter is packing up, having served his last day at the Ministry.
At least it was, until Draco Malfoy walked through the door. -herman_the_moth’s AO3 Art Post -herman_the_moth’s Tumblr Art Post
Grey Eyes & Lies written by @makeitp1nk​ with art by @veelawings​ [Explicit, 18k] Summary: Twelve years after the war, Harry returns from his post with the International Wizarding Police in the States to find everything has changed. Draco Malfoy, his nemesis and overall Bad Guy, is now uncle extraordinaire, master of desserts, and an honorary Weasley. Fit, charming, and reformed, Harry is, as always, drawn to the man, who despite his charm and gentle nature, still holds a bit of that spark Harry knows so well from their school days.
Until Harry accidentally follows him and sees things that convince him Malfoy never really changed. In his quest to prove that Malfoy is up to something, Harry gains entrance into a world where nothing is black and white, and nobody is golden. -VeelaWings’s AO3 Art Post
Monster written by @orange-peony with art by @pato-roldnart  [Explicit, 71.7k] Summary: “Hmm,” Hermione hums, tapping her index finger against her bottom lip and then smiling at Harry. “A broken music box, you say…”
“A cursed one,” Harry corrects her.
“Well, it’s still a music box that is not working properly,” Hermione points out with a very intent grin. “That will give you a chance to see him.”
She wiggles her eyebrows, making him snort.
As if Harry hadn’t thought about it straight away. As if Harry’s mind hadn’t immediately wandered to Draco Malfoy the moment Zabini mentioned a music box. -p_pato_roldnart’s NSFW AO3 Art Post -p_pato_roldnart’s Tumblr Art Post
The Troll written by @deliciousblizzardshark​​ with art by @sator-the-wanderer​​ [Mature, 5.2k] Summary: “Draco, the Aurors desperately need your help!” Harry cries, doing his best not to break into inopportune laughter. “Quick, put on this outfit.”
Draco looks askance at the shred of cloth. “This is an outfit?” he asks, dubiously.
“There’s no time!” Harry says, urgently, turning his face away so Draco can’t see him smirking. “You need to put this on and pretend to be my prisoner. Quickly! The wizarding world is depending on you!” -Sator’s AO3 Art Post
But We Could Be So Good written by @allwaswell16 with art by @chamomileteafuel [Mature, 12.6k] Summary: When Harry assigned himself to be the Malfoy family’s probationary Auror, he hadn’t anticipated he would sneak into the Malfoy Manor library, play endless games of chess, or buy an entire roomful of magical plants. And he certainly hadn’t anticipated falling in love. -camomiletea’s AO3 Art Post -camomiletea’s Tumblr Art Post
Fool Me Twice written by @sorrybutblog​ with art by dustmouth [Explicit, 38.4k] Summary: The case seemed simple: follow the corruption, bring down the source. Draco just didn’t anticipate Harry Potter crashing in, taking a break from red carpets and nudey-rudey photoshoots to make a giant mess.
Or: Draco is an Unspeakable. Potter is an (unfairly attractive) thorn in his side. Featuring: spies, action, disguises, forced proximity, pining and more! -dustmouth’s AO3 Art Post
The stuff of clouds and skies written by CreepingMyrtle with art by @ledouhua69 [Teen, 7.6k] Summary: Some people go for grand confessions of love. Some send letters, or show they care, or lock eyes and lean in. Harry gets himself cursed so badly he has no choice but to ask Draco for help, and hope it leads to happily ever after. -Jidangao’s AO3 Art Post
Fields of Gold written by @pineau-noir with art by @digthewriter [Teen, 19.2k] Summary: Draco Malfoy is content with his life, post-war. He’s got a decent job, a nice flat, and good friends.When Harry Potter is involved in a mysterious accident which causes wild speculation and gossip in the wizarding world, Draco’s world is forever changed.
A story about shedding past perceptions, learning to embrace change, and being in love. -digthewriter’s AO3 Art Post -digthewriter’s Tumblr Art Post
Spinning Fouettés written by @purplehotmess with art by Mrs_Croft [Explicit, 15.7k] Summary: After the war, two broken souls find solace in each other. But when calamity strikes, will they survive the storm or drown in the deluge?
A story of choosing someone over everything else; of fighting the whole world for the one you love. Falling in love is not enough - it is to grow in love that matters. Together. -Mrs_Croft’s AO3 Art Post
At the Doorway, On the Stair written by @dwell-the-brave with art by @p1013 [Teen, 30.7k] Summary: A year after Draco Malfoy goes missing, his mother has one last option—Harry Potter. Having left the Auror department and made a name for himself as a Private Investigator, Harry cannot help but get involved in the disappearance of Draco Malfoy. Will he discover the truth about what happened? And what could be causing all the strange disturbances at Malfoy Manor? -p1013′s AO3 Art Post
Death Comes for Us All written by @lumosatnight with art by @juliustwo [Explicit, 5.3k] Summary: Burying his face in Draco’s hair, he can smell the smoke from the cigarette, can taste the ashes lingering in his mouth. Harry finds it comforting, a reminder that Draco has seen his worst and still chooses to stay. -JuliusTwo’s AO3 Art Post
a convergence of inks written by @thebooktopus with art by @babooshkart [Explicit, 21.1k] Summary: It’s taken two years, but Draco has finally perfected a replacement for Wolfsbane. He is overjoyed when Lavender, his initial test subject, reports her transformation as less painful, less stressful, and easier to recover from. Despite these obvious improvements, the request for a Ministry trial of the new formula goes poorly when a disgruntled director cannot see past Draco’s last name.
Enter Harry, with whom Draco has been sharing a house and the responsibility of raising Teddy Lupin for the past several years. Harry has been living as a bit of a recluse, running his tattoo studio and generally avoiding the wizarding world as a rule.
A rule he’s willing to break… for Draco. -babooshk_art’s AO3 Art Post -babooshk_art’s Tumblr Art Post
Orb Power written by @maraudersaffair with art by @drarrydoodles [Explicit, 7.5k] Summary: Harry is a divorced father of three with a love for crystals. Draco owns a trinkets shop called Cricklewood’s Trifles. It’s been years since Harry laid eyes on Draco, but he knows he wants him the moment he spots him at a flea market. Draco is not so sure. -Discessio’s AO3 Art Post
Lost & Found written by @gnarf with art by @ladderofyears [Explicit, 17.9k] Summary: When Harry goes missing, Draco is the one Hermione comes to for help. An opportunity he had waited for arises, and if he found Potter through it — even better.
Little did he know that, soon, faking a relationship was the only plan they’d have to get out of this trap. Even if it’s paradise. -ladderofyears’s AO3 Art Post
Statues Crumble written by @xanthippe74 with art by @fictional [Teen, 13.6k] Summary: Between one war and the next, Draco has lost his parents, his home, and his menial Ministry job. All he has left is the secret (and anonymous) work he does to help Harry Potter overthrow another government—oh, and that statue he stole from the Ministry Atrium. -milkandhoney’s AO3 Art Post
WHISKY-TANGO-FOXTROT written by @vukovich with art by @fantalfart [Explicit, 58.8k] Summary: The worst thing about being the Golden Boy is the freebies. Free drinks. Easy sex. It’s all too easy.
The worst thing about being a Malfoy is the expectations. Marriage. Kids. It’s all so scripted.
Harry wants his arse kicked. Draco decides to grab life by the balls. -fantalf’s NSFW AO3 Art Post
To the victor goes the booty written by @alleymichaelis​ with art by @artdecielle​ [Teen, 5.6k] Summary: In retrospect, their relationship was always meant to be about rivalry. Who has the best ship? Whose ship is the most famous? Who is the better captain? Who has the biggest treasure?
Who is the better swordfighter, of course. It always circled back to that, because their first meeting began, as is natural, with a swordfight.
(It ended in so much more than professional rivalry. Or as Ginny liked to mock, in another kind of swordfight.) -Cielle_Noire’s AO3 Art Post -Cielle_Noire’s Tumblr Art Post
luminous written by @softlystarstruck with art by @pato-roldnart [Teen, 13.7k] Summary: It wasn't exactly Draco's plan to be alone with Harry Potter, the crushing weight of their own feelings, and a possibly blood-thirsty baby serpent for the next two weeks. But with Mario Kart, fashion shows, and some conversation, maybe it won't be quite as disastrous as they expect. -p_pato_roldnart’s AO3 Art Post -p_pato_roldnart’s Tumblr Art Post
eager for the sky written by @oknowkiss with art by @upthehillart [Mature, 35.4k] Summary: It was announced, just as the Triwizard Tournament had been, at the start of term feast.
A year-long, international Quidditch varsity match — the inaugural Wizarding Academy Cup.
In which Harry is Hogwarts' star Seeker, Draco is on the bench, and they both have a thing or two to learn about playing for the same team. -upthehillart’s AO3 Art Post
Only getting closer written by @digthewriter with art by @ladderofyears [Teen, 5.1k] Summary: Harry and Draco go away for one final secret vacation before coming out to their friends. -ladderofyears’s AO3 Art Post
The Unspeakable written by @the-sinking-ship with art by @peachbabypie [Explicit, 24.1k] Summary: Healer Draco Malfoy wanted the job at the International Department of Mysteries for the paycheck and the prestige. But what he got was Unspeakable Harry Potter and the most fascinating curse he’d ever seen. -Peachbabypie’s NSFW AO3 Art Post
Dreaming of Snakes written by @deathsdaisy​ with art by @chizumakiii [Explicit, 14.1k] Summary: Draco has fallen out of favor with the Dark Lord, because of his father. The Dark Lord "corrects" Draco for Lucius' mistakes. The images this brings plague Draco's dreams, but a twist in what is normally a monotonous night leaves Draco questioning some things.
Who does Draco turn out to be if his father lost the favor he had with Voldemort? If he was never a death eater, where would he go? -ChizuMaki’s NSFW AO3 Art Post
so sweet. so bitter. written by @nerdherderette with art by @sugareey-makes-stuff [Explicit, 19.8k] Summary: It's bad enough that Draco is admitted to St Mungo's. Discovering the identity of the Healer assigned to his case makes it ten times worse. -sugareey’s AO3 Art Post -sugareey’s Tumblr Art Post
What's in a Name written by JK_Terfling_Can_Suck_My_Silicone_Dick   with art by @maesterchill [General, 15.7k] Summary: Harry and Draco have been married for a decade, but no one else knows. It's time for Draco to examine why he refuses to tell anyone else. -maesterchill’s AO3 Art Post -maesterchill’s Tumblr Art Post
Chasing unicorns, finding love written by @sassy-cissa with art by @navi1088 [Explicit, 27.7k] Summary: When Auror Harry gets assigned a case of missing unicorn foals, it's bad enough that they are going missing in the Forest of Dean, a place Harry never wanted to revisit. But on top of that, Head Auror Dawlish wants to call in an expert from the Unspeakables. And of course, that expert is none other than Draco Malfoy ... -navi1088′s AO3 Art Post -navi1088′s Tumblr Art Post
If You're Cold, They’re Cold written by Dazeventura6   with art by @okay-sky [General, 7.8k] Summary: More than a decade after the war and Harry left the magical world for the muggle one he runs into a down-and-out Draco Malfoy living homeless on the streets and insists on taking him in. -OkaySky’s AO3 Art Post -OkaySky’s Tumblr Art Post
Dead Ends written by @toxik-angel with art by @melcarrianna [Explicit, 18.8k] Summary: Head Auror Harry Potter is the best at his job. Head Auror Harry Potter always saves the day.
But someone has been picking off ex-Death Eaters one by one. Someone has been abducting Harry’s friends right out of their homes. And someone is fucking the Minister for Magic.
The Minister for Magic and Head Auror are both very concerned about it. -Melcarrianna’s AO3 Art Post -Melcarrianna’s Tumblr Art Post
From Behind The Wall written by @nymphadoratonqs with art by @apriicat [Mature, 19.2k] Summary: After the war, Harry gets therapy. Draco doesn’t. They still find their way to each other. -CelestialCat’s AO3 Art Post
And Still I Dream written by @greenmegsnoham with art by @gaudium6191 [Explicit, 41.7k] Summary: Draco was beyond frustrated with the school's preferential treatment of sports programs over the arts. Determined to collect what is due, Draco must come toe to toe with the ever incessant thorn-in-his-side, Varsity Basketball Captain, Harry Potter. Though Draco may not receive the financial support he'd been hoping for, he just might get a boyfriend out of it instead…
OR
When you Dream a Dream, it just may come true… -Gaudium0Xchara’s AO3 Art Post -Gaudium0Xchara’s Tumblr Art Post
the long game written by @ayebydan with art by @inveigler81 [Mature, 5.5k] Summary: Draco has spent his life post-war building a career for his own reasons while Harry has spent his time building a home for them and Teddy. None of their friends understands. Draco’s friends think he is being taken advantage of. Harry’s friends think he is being held back. A new promotion for Draco brings it all to a head. -inveigler81′s AO3 Art Post
right where you should be written by @jokedads with art by @digthewriter [Teen, 16.3k] Summary: Harry looked down at himself. He could see that he was wearing sturdy robes in a deep red, half unbuttoned over a t-shirt he didn’t recognise. “HOLYHEAD HARPIES DO IT BETTER”, the shirt told him. He looked up at Malfoy and realised where he’d seen those robes before. “You’re wearing the same robes as me, Malfoy,” he said, “So either we’re impersonating Aurors together or someone else is having a laugh, but I don’t know which because I can’t remember anything!” -digthewriter’s AO3 Art Post
Beneath the Cloak written by @avenueofesc with art by @apriicat [Mature, 31.3k] Summary: Footsteps echo through the corridor, though they seem to hesitate, slowing until they stop directly in front of him. Draco can practically feel the presence of this other at his side. He groans, using all of his strength to raise his head and open his eyes, to see…
Nothing. -CelestialCat’s AO3 Art Post
Ever Since We Founded Rome written by @ftmshepard with art by @melcarrianna [Mature, 5.7k] Summary: Harry's missing. Draco's the only one who can find him. -Melcarrianna’s AO3 Art Post -Melcarrianna’a Tumblr Art Post
Bad Faith written by Stopme with art by @fantalfart [Explicit, 23k] Summary: There was a slight tug in the middle of his chest, pulling him forward. Harry frowned, confused and intrigued at the same time because of the odd feeling. He stopped walking and leaned back against a stone wall. His magic sparked at the same time a new tug appeared on his chest. The sense of danger crept up in his mind. Danger and fear.
But it wasn’t his fear. -fantalf’s AO3 Art Post (NSFW)
We Were Something (don't you think so?) written by @slyth-princess with art by @celilasart [Mature, 19.4k] Summary: It has been 10 years since Draco Malfoy stepped foot in London. In truth, he would have been happy to never be here again. But when your best friend since birth decides to get married and wants you by his side it isn't as if you can refuse. No matter who you might run into. Get in, get out, and never look back. He's sure he'll be fine.
Harry Potter has always been good about locking away feelings he couldn't deal with. As long as he didn't have to face them he could very easily pretend they never happened. So how was he going to handle seeing a man he had once thought could be his everything for the first time in a decade. Spoiler alert, it does not go the way he planned.
Featuring exs who aren't as sneaky as they think they are, men who don't know how to talk about their feelings, meddling friends who truly have the best intentions at heart, and a whole lot of thirsty Drarry in fancy clothes. -LLAP115′s AO3 Art Post -LLAP115′s Tumblr Art Post
All Over Again written by @aqua-myosotis with art by Mrs_Croft   [Explicit, 36.1k]  Summary: Ten years on and after 10 months of falling in and out of bed on a regular basis, they still barely talked.
New Year's Eve was supposed to be a time for new beginnings. A time for big revelations and starting the year as you meant to go on. For moving onwards and upwards...It most definitely is not supposed to end with a countdown from ten, and an empty bed.
A story from the perspectives of Harry and Draco, as they try to wade through the tangles of emotions being love can throw at you. -Mrs_Croft’s AO3 Art Post
Mushrooms of Wiltshire written by @shiftylinguini with art by @artdecielle [Teen, 5.2k] Summary: There's no point unpacking―Harry's not staying long, and besides, there's just bundled rags in his valise. The illusion of belongings, of a man heading to a new position at a prestigious manor―one beset with rumours of old magic and of impish forest dwellers causing chaos and mayhem amid the phosphorescent toadstool glow.
Bugger the job. Harry's here for the rumours. He's been chasing them for years. -Cielle_noire’s AO3 Art Post -Cielle_noire’s Tumblr Art Post
What Makes a House a Home written by @writcraft with art by @rasha-dee [Explicit, 27k] Summary: Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts Draco Malfoy wakes up in an unfamiliar house owned by none other than Harry Potter. Even stranger is the snow in September and a night sky without any stars. Naturally it’s a matter of life and death, because isn’t it always? -rasha_dee’s AO3 Art Post
Sinking to Swim written by @pheaphilus with art by @drarrydoodles [Teen, 9.5k] Summary: When Unspeakable Malfoy gets his latest assignment at the Department of Mysteries, he can't help but curse his own luck. What are the chances that he would have to seek out the elusive Harry Potter for help?
When Draco Malfoy comes to his door, asking for his input into an ongoing project at the Ministry, Harry is skeptical. When's the last time a Malfoy did anything to help anyone but themselves, anyway? -Discessio’s AO3 Art Post
In Bad Faith written by @fencer-x with art by @secretartlair [Explicit, 62.3k] Summary: Draco Malfoy just can’t catch a break. Between the magical curse upon his bloodline, his hair misbehaving, and that strange pit full of demons in his basement that he had absolutely nothing to do with, it just hasn’t been a banner year for him. Luckily, Harry Potter is here to make things ten times worse. -SoldSeparately’s AO3 Art Post

FIC REC:
A wee spinoff of my lapsed but not dead series, Reading Recs From Friends
I Was GIFTED (!!!)
The Waiting by @oknowkiss w/ art by @babooshkart [Drarry | E | 43k] cw: substance abuse, depression, grief
It’s been almost ten years since Draco Malfoy disappeared during a routine Curse Breaker training exercise. Harry, his partner in more ways than one, is determined to figure out why. As the past resurfaces and the present fades into confusion, Harry discovers the only thing more unreliable than memory is love. inspired by the fantastic song "this tornado loves you" by neko case.
One Sentence Recap: Everyone in Harry's life is trying desperately to drag him out of the past, away from the moment he lost Draco to the unknown, but what if the past is the only thing that will save them both?
"I have waited with a glacier's patience Smashed every transformer with every trailer 'Til nothing was standing 65 miles wide Still you are nowhere Still you are nowhere Nowhere in sight" -Neko Case, This Tornado Loves You
This song is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time--it captures the raw emotion of frantic, seemingly-doomed, mutually destructive love in a way that doesn't deny its potential, all-consuming beauty. There's something painfully sweet about the music, the lyrics, and also this fic that @oknowkiss wrote based on a prompt I submitted for @hd-wireless 2023, and then GIFTED to me! Elaine and I share a deep love of complicated, plotty, twisty stories--I gaze up at them in awe every time I read something new by them because they are such a master of plot and narrative. This story is no exception--the characters are exceptionally imagined, the world is rich and unique, the mystery keeps you guessing in the best of ways, and the twist will absolutely take your damn breath away. I laughed, I cried actual tears, and I had to sit for a long time once I finished trying to figure out how to breathe again. Here are some specific things I loved about this story:
👨🏽‍🤝‍👨🏼 The Relationship Dynamics This particular song certainly opens the door for angst and tension and HOO BOY does E deliver on that front. Harry's depression and grief over Draco's disappearance feels so palpable and relatable. At times I pitied him, felt real heartbreak for him, and wanted to give him a firm slap to the back of the head. Draco is ESPECIALLY magnificently realized in this story--he has every characteristic I love: sharp and witty, scared and desperate, arrogant but deeply unsure of himself. He is the perfect foil to a Harry who is unmoored and craving some sort of connection with someone or something. The tension between them crackles with unspoken resentment, fiery sexual attraction, and the sort of nihilistic self-importance that seems to saturate early adulthood. It makes for some INCREDIBLE smut--no spoilers but there is a scene that begins in a dive bar in Alaska that you will be thinking about probably for the rest of your life🔥🔥. E also crafts some incredible relationships between Harry and the rest of the characters. The dynamics between him and Ron and Hermione are delicious as they worry for his very sanity and try their best to be good friends to him. E's OCs are spectacular--there is one in particular who has my whole heart, I don't even need to tell you which one you will absolutely know.
🌎 The World Building Elaine takes a very cool approach to ministry training and curse breaking that I've never read before--their descriptions of the training camp are so vivid I could picture everything so well as it happened. This story takes us and the characters around the world, and E really takes the time to ground us sensorially and paint us an incredible picture of exactly what Harry is experiencing. His depression and grief come through in the environment that he's built for himself--there are little symbols that reappear throughout the fic that feel like gentle taps on the shoulder--remember this?. It's a really masterful way of making an expansive, potentially disjointed universe feel smaller, traversable, and knowable. It can also be very challenging to describe brand new magical mechanics and theory in a way that a reader can understand, without bogging them down in detail--again, E does this beautifully. I felt totally sucked in to the world they crafted!=
📝 The Plot Look, it is very hard to write a mystery story that doesn't alienate the reader but still holds back some twists and surprises. It's even HARDER to do all of those things when you're writing in not one, but TWO timelines, and E absolutely smashes it with this fic. I had so many (incorrect) theories about what the hell was happening as I was reading--it was so fun to take the little crumbs E was leaving and try to make sense of them while Harry also tried to make sense of them. I am so delighted that at the end, some of the things I speculated about came to pass, but there were many things that I didn't see coming!
🎨 Bonus: The Art @babooshkart NEVER MISSES that is a truth universally acknowledged, one affirmed by the art they created for this story. Pictures, imagery, and the act of looking play such a vivid role in this story and Boo manages to capture so many of the little details Elaine uses to activate her narrative and her characters in a single, incredible image. Looking at Boo's art invites us to step into Harry's shoes, and lets us a little further into his world. The lighting in the photo feels close and intimate to the point of being lonely, the clutter Boo included in the scene echoes Harry's feeling of being crowded and overwhelmed by the case and by life, and as always Harry are (young) Draco are depicted beautifully.
Thank you for writing this story and gifting it to me!

Happy happy birthday darling @wolfpants! I’m so excited to be finally doing a reclist with my Wolf faves. I still remember the sense of awe I felt reading the magnificent Hollow (my very first Remus/Draco, so brilliant and poignant it got me immediately sold on the ship and also obsessed with that verse). Whether it’s Drarry or rare pair goodness, Wolf always delivers top notch cottagecore porn romance with gorgeous settings, captivating characters and a perfect mix of angst, fluff and smut, what else could we ask for? I’ve had so much fun selecting my own favorites for this list. The Drarry section might look small but that’s because I wanted to give a massive shoutout to Wolf’s delicious catalogue of rare pair shorts, which seems to be carefully crafted to meet my personal tastes (you’ll find that I got a soft spot for age gap and Ron thirst but I’ve tried to include a bit of everything and there are quite a few treats from Wolf’s stellar Kinkuary23 collection 🔥).
Dear Wolf, thank you for sharing so many great stories with us. We’re so lucky to have you on this fandom! It’s been amazing to follow your work as you evolve as a writer and explore my most beloved characters and tropes in your unique, creative, fun and self-indulgent way. I hope you’ve had a lovely day and ami excited to see what this new year brings you next! 🎉💜
🐺 Drarry:
Edges (E, 1.5k)
Draco explores the limits of Harry's edges. Harry lets him.
The Farther I Fall, I'm Beside You (E, 2.3k)
What happens when you accidentally kill your friend during a birthday prank gone wrong? You ask your Master of Death boyfriend for help, of course. Check out @getawayfox’s gorgeous art here.
The Holly and the Ivy (E, 4.6k)
This year at the Annual Ministry Yule Auction, Magpies Seeker Draco Malfoy's time is up for sale. When Harry places the winning bid, will their contracturally-binding weekend together heal old wounds, or worsen them?
Look For Me In The Sun (M, 9k)
Harry and Draco are on the run in America after a mysterious string of werewolf-like attacks in the Muggle community causes the Ministry to impose new and harsh anti-werewolf legislation. Giant trees, crashing waves, seedy motel rooms, and the long and winding coastal road awaits them, but will they ever be able to go back home?
Under Giant Mountains (E, 33k)
Harry doesn't know where he's going. Everyone else has their life paths figured out; he doesn't even know where his map is. Who'd have thought Draco Malfoy bathing in a Norwegian forest would be the guidepost Harry needed?
Pages of You (E, 101k)
Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't. In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire. Check out @homoaesthetics ‘s fabulous rec post for this fic here.
👖 Rare pairs:
The Classics (E, 1.1k) - Draco/Sirius
Sirius gets more than he bargained for when he heads to bed after a long day and night in Grimmauld Place.
Viridian (E, 1.7k) - Draco/Blaise, implies future Harry/Draco/Blaise
There’s just something about Draco. Blaise can’t quite put his finger on it, but it’s—an impulse. To poke, to prod, to pick his delicate wings off. To teach him some humility.
Love is a Verb (E, 1.7k) - Harry/Teddy
These days, Teddy loves and hates being alone with Harry. He craves it, and he dreads it, and he thinks Harry’s starting to notice. He wants him to notice.
Hymn to Apollo (E, 2k) - Teddy/Scorpius
It's the night of Harry and Draco's wedding, and Teddy learns Scorpius has an enormous crush on him.
Seat You Higher than the Stars (E, 2k) - Rarry
When Harry tells Ron he's ready to reveal their relationship to their friends, he lets out another confession: that he wants to be completely vulnerable in bed.
Yours & Mine (E, 2.3k) - Dron
Just another Sunday lunch at The Burrow. Featuring French dessert, fond Molly Weasley, flirty Drarry, and Ron's incredulousness.
Like A Brother Would (E, 5k) - Rarry
Ron wants to tell him, again, that he’s not focused, that he’s not planning this whole thing through properly, that he keeps missing things. That they need more structure, that he wouldn’t have lost his temper like he had if only they had the safety of a strategy.
A Bigger Splash (E, 7k) - Dralbus
It's his dad's 45th birthday in rural Sicily, and all Albus wants is to be seen by Draco Malfoy.
The Hollow (E, 12k) - Remus/Draco
They both drink, and Remus wonders how much longer he can stay here. His eyes are already moving around slowly, looking for an escape. Anything to get away from the eerily familiar slope of Draco’s cheekbones, from the richness of the voice that sounds so much like the ghost inside his own head.
Trillium (E, 13k) - Dronarry
Harry and Draco are shagging. Ron’s got a hunch, and the only way to find out is to volunteer his services alongside Harry’s in the Big Malfoy Manor Cleanup of 2010. What could possibly go wrong?
Precious Metal (E, 28k) - Dronarry
Precious metal awaits in an abandoned, cursed cottage on the Isle of Jura. Ron’s illegal hunting ring is on it, but disaster strikes when he runs into a jumpy and suspicious Draco Malfoy, camped out where the treasure is hidden. What happens when they accidentally unleash a bond curse when both of them harbour feelings for the same man?
Tiny Home (E, 30k) - Dronarry
Harry and Ron left the Aurors years ago to travel the world and make up for lost time. When they finally decide to settle roots back in England, together, building a tiny home in the Lake District by hand seems like the perfect plan. What they don't realise is that Draco Malfoy already lives on the plot of land that they choose to build on. Check out @slytherco’s scorching art for this fic here.

Looking for Fandom MxM RPs
Hi there! I'm Matthew (Or Dean), my pronouns are he/him, and I'm 19 and have been writing for about as long as I can remember. I'm an aspiring novelist, and in my freetime enjoy reading and writing rps along with making OCs and art. I'm looking to add some more rps and rp partners! I could probably be talked into doing ocxoc or ocxcanon rps, but mxm is nonnegotiable. I am of course open to transmen and transmasc characters/headcanons. My rps are usually plot and story heavy, but I do include smut and NSFW, so all my partners and characters must be 18+. I am open to dark/angsty plots as well as lighter/fluffier plots. Below I will list some ships I'm interested in and possible rp ideas!
Some of these may be nsfw so I ask that minors DNI or read further, thank you.
Batjokes (DCU)
What can I say, I'm a sucker for angst and disfunction. I have the most experience writing as Joker, but am also able to write as Bruce. Transjoker is a pretty big headcanon of mine, but if you're interested in cismale Joker that isn't a problem either.
A current plot I have in mind can be adapted to a nonsuperhero AU- Joker and Harley are splitsville, and without her Joker finds he has no one to turn to in his time of need. What may be that time of need, you're clearly asking. After being cornered and beat to shit by a Gotham orginized crime team for being late on his payments (again) he realizes he needs some real help with his addictions, and a place to stay where he won't be hunted down. He knows it's a long shot, and he'll probably be sent back to Arkham just for him to escape for the 10000th time, but he figures Batman is his only hope for change.
Open to alternative plots, of course.
Steddie or Harringrove (Stranger Things)
Also open to Steve x Eddie x Billy. I usually write Steve, but am able to write all three of these boys.
Drarry or Draco/Ron (Harry Potter)
I prefer to write as Harry or Ron, but can also write Draco. Alternativley I am also open to Harry x Ron.
Loki x Canon Male Character (MCU)
I'm kind of a multishipper when it comes to Loki, so I'm open to most ships involving him and a canon male character from the MCU. I prefer to write against Loki, but am open to writing as him.
Most of my plots surrounding Loki are dependent on which character I'm pairing him against, so add me on discord to brainstorm with me if you're interested!
Cassidy x Hanzo or Genji x Rammatra (Overwatch)
I have most experience writing the shimada brothers, but have also dabbled on Cassidy and Rammatra.
Arthur Morgan x John Marston (RDR2)
I write usually as John, but can also write Arthur.
My discord is incubae_ feel free to add me and talk to me there!

And here's the last batch of fic recs I have to wrap up @hprecfest and 2023! Feel free to give these some love, or else add them to your TBR for later to kick off your 2024!
Day 27: A Muggle AU Fic
Of Bookshelves and Baby Carriers by poppunkpadfoot (Wolfstar, T, 11.8k)
The customer standing in front of him is quite possibly the most beautiful man Remus has ever seen. Like, he looks like a model or something. He has long, black hair, flattened by water, and just the slightest amount of scruff on his face, and… And a baby strapped to his chest. Okay.
This fic is cute AF! 😍 Doing a reread of this again made me squee about how Remus is such a precious cinnamon roll who needs more hugs, Harry is adorable, and Sirius' flirting is hilarious. So much flangst, this is a bookshop fic, and 1000% a pick-me-up if you need something to brighten your day. A+++ aka go read this ASAP!
Tumblr media
Day 28: An Under-Rated Fic
Chimera by Literallyliterary (Flintbell, E, 11.5k)
Years after Hogwarts, years after the war, Katie Bell finds herself traded from the Harpies to the Tornados and into the hands of team captain Marcus Flint. It’s a lot easier to ignore a childhood crush when you have to take orders from him, right? …Right??
I always love a good Quidditch fic, and this one seriously delivers, especially with all the UST built up from Hogwarts days. The way Marcus and Katie push each other's buttons but are clearly attracted to each other is amazing, and there are just so many Feelings waiting to spill out, especially after they get physical. It's spicy, it's got that fiery Gryffindor-Slytherin relationship dynamic we all love, the mutual pining is for real, and the competitive streak is so alive. For the game, for a chance, and yeah, this was what really solidified my love for this rare pair when I first discovered them. Def give this a shot if you'd like to dip into new ships!
Tumblr media
Day 29: A Post-Canon Fic
Crimson Neon by @xanthippe74 | xanthippe74 (Drarry, M, 20.6k)
Winter, 1999. Harry thought going to New York would help him get his head on straight, but all he has to show for it are sore feet and a fridge full of takeaway containers. And now he’s homesick on top of everything else. It doesn’t help that his mysterious neighbour in 2C keeps cooking dishes that remind Harry of home and all the people he lost or left behind.
I adore fics that include anything senses or food related. And gosh, this one with the angst and food as a love language is gorgeous. The small details really makes this a story I can visually see. Also, Draco cooks! 'Nuff said. And the way Harry and Draco gradually fall in love is so heartwarming. It's on their own terms, in a different country. Love, love, love. Definitely a must-read for a sleepy or rainy day.
Tumblr media
Day 31: A Fav Amongst Favs
Drowned Boy by bmouse (Marcus/Percy/Oliver, M, 4k)
Oliver wants to drown himself. Percy wants to study, but he's willing to be distracted. Marcus probably wants trouble, but it's hard to tell.
Sooo, PoA is my 2nd fav HP book, and any references to that Quidditch game where Oliver tries drowning himself in the shower or missing moments right after are gold. Marcus and Oliver banter at each other as usual, but then Percy gets tangled in their chaos, and it kind of escalates. They're all boys with hormones, and yeah. 😜 This fic is so well written where you can see the attraction between each of them, and the dynamics work. *chef's kiss* (And since I genuinely like to delve into character studies for Marcus, Percy and Oliver, this was the fic convinced me that they're an awesome triad. Hell yeah.)
