embroidered fic recs 28/?

Among Ancient Pines by Theartfulldodger (aka @graymatters)

[useless technical shinfo: this one is all satin stitch with a little bit of back stitch for the trees at the bottom. all on plain white cotton, using 25 different shades of thread (this is the most i’ve ever used on one hoop only!!), and a 30cm hoop. all together it took about 35 hours.]

Good god, I’ve been waiting to make this one for aaaaaaaaaages! I first read Among Ancient Pines just about a week after it was first posted and I knew pretty much immediately (or immediately after I stopped crying about it, I guess) that I wanted to make a big beautiful hoop for it. When it finally came to it a few months ago, I knew it was time I tried my hand at a colour blocking embroidery style, which I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I still cannot believe how well it worked.

I have always loved Sara’s writing and to get to bask in its beauty for as long as this fic allowed me to was an absolute treat. The atmosphere is simply gorgeous and you won’t really get a choice but to get fully wrapped up in it and let yourself be taken for the ride.

Can’t go on without mentioning that this fic was written for the H/D Big Bang, which means two incredibly talented artists have made art for it already, so please allow me to direct you to @cambiodipolvere​’s post here with his AAP art, and to @onlytheheartknows​’s own post here! Both their styles fit so incredibly well with the story that I genuinely teared up about it at one point.

Part of the beauty of this fic are the characters in it and even though the Harry and the Draco in this are absolutely perfect (and I really mean perfect), the story goes so beyond them that it fills my heart. I think I can say without a doubt that if I had to pick original characters from any fic I’ve ever read to meet irl, I would pick characters from Among Ancient Pines. 

If you like a masterpiece in building tension absolutely out of control, delicious magical theory, absolutely heartbreaking attention to detail, a stunning Ginny & Draco friendship, beautiful OCs that you’ll be willing to die for, gorgeous setting and ultimately, a story about growing and making the right and wrong decisions, all I can say is, why the fuck haven’t you clicked that link yet?

It’s not unusual to see Hermione studying late into the night at a table in the Hogwarts library, occasionally sneaking a quick nap between subjects.

Harry/Draco (2021, Mature, 74k)

Every day, Draco Malfoy tries. With every fiber of his being he tries. But he doesn’t much think about what he’s trying for. A fic about challenging assumptions, discovering self-worth, the silver lining in failing to meet expectations, and finding friendship, love, and purpose in a small Alaskan town that’s steeped in magic.

“Rule number one”—Draco lifts a forefinger in the air to begin his count—“no feelings.” He speaks the words intentionally, willing them into truth, hoping for a Time-Turner to appear amidst the clutter on Harry’s table.

My first rec outside birthday gifts caught me completely off guard. I’m gonna preface this by saying that I trust @sweet-s0rr0w’s taste with all my heart, and even knowing her rec couldn’t be anything other than perfect I’m still shook by how much I adored this fic. High chances of being my favorite BB together with Home Truths by @skeptiquex, and they are definitely among my favorite 2021 reads. Ancient Pines reminded me a lot of one of my all-time fave fics, A Sword Laid Aside by korlaena - not in terms of characterization or plot-wise (although hermit Harry sharing his refuge with Draco is totally my jam!). No, the similarities are more related to tone and intent. Both stories feel properly adult, mature and contemplative yet light and tender in a way that feels almost poetic.

This kind of writing always gives me chills and makes me feel like basking in a warm bath, it’s so hard not to mourn the experience once it’s over. Here’s to another fic I wish I could read for the first time over and over! Ancient Pines has a perfect mix of so many elements I personally love: Healer Draco, hermit Harry, wand lore, friends with benefits gone (remarkably) wrong, low key emotional angst, found family, comfort food, Draco & Ginny friendship, a sexy amount of sneaky escapades with many fingers going into belt loops, and much more. Harry and Draco’s dynamics are simply fantastic, from the delightful banter to the passionate lovemaking. I’m captivated by this chill, earnest, observant and tender Harry, his good-natured ways edged just a lil bit with the kind of defiant stubbornness he saves only for Draco.

And this Draco is just the perfect match for him! Smart and capable, warm yet overthinking every little step and grasping for control by setting empty rules he’s bound to break. It’s such a lovely thing to watch them come together amidst the wild and evocative landscape of Alaska, with easy familiarity despite having an unspoken past looming over their heads. It’s even lovelier to watch Draco find his self-worth and identity along the way, coming to terms with what he wants and daring to take a leap plunge of faith. What a touching showcase of character development!

Beyond the gorgeous characterization, this fic also has delightful OCs (Meg & Fee own my heart!) and sets a perfect pace mixing delicious banter, detailed wand magic and gentle romance. And it’s so gentle, and fun, and sweet! Their dynamics feel very organic and the way “Let’s have fun” becomes “What can I do?” reflect how much these characters grow to learn and care for each other. Lastly, I wanna give a massive shoutout to the talented cambiodipolvere and onlytheheartknows​ who captured the fic’s essence and gorgeous aesthetics with stunning art pieces! Their work got me even more immersed in this universe and put a big smile on my face. If you’re looking for a soft and resonant comfort read, search no more: this journey is your next read!

🎵 Song prompt: Modern Love

🎵 Summary:

Harry Potter, of all people, knows that life isn’t always fair. And no one gets to be happy all of the time. But surely there’s something more—something better—than a rubbish Ministry job, and a lonely old house, and that feeling that everyone out there is doing a better job of living than Harry is.

And it really doesn’t seem fair that Draco Malfoy is back in Harry’s life, all of a sudden, and even though he’s wandless, and living with Muggles, and making his mother cry with his lifestyle choices, he’s happy. So what’s he doing right, that Harry isn’t?

Because things don’t really change, do they? And if Harry can’t be happy, he’ll settle for a good night’s sleep, some posh antiques, and the opportunity to find out what Malfoy has been up to for all these years.

And that’s what starts it all.

The Old Ways by @fw00shy

In the weeks that Harry leaves, Draco stays behind and talks with the trees, who never talk back except with the wind (soft rustlings, or sweet murmurs of agreement). He tries not to worry about Harry, but of course, he does, in a burrowing sort of way. Draco thinks that he can wait forever, by the lake. He can pretend Harry is eternally on the verge of coming home.

Absolutely thrilled to share my second ficbinding, that of If an Injury Is to Be Inflicted by the brilliant @shealwaysreads . A dramatic and intense story, I fell in love with Bella's sharp characterizations for Draco and Harry and the compelling dynamic between them. I couldn't put this fic down, and now I can page through one of my favorite fics again and again.

This binding is my little twist on a Secret Belgian Binding (tutorial linked from the incredible Sea Lemon), with so many lessons learned from @renegadepublishing @armoredsuperheavy and my endless awe at @queercore-curriculum 's stunning binds. It features paper from Hollander's as a cover, black thread on the outside, and red inside.

And of course, I've included (inset on either side of chapter two) the gorgeous twin portraits by @maesterchill Few know what you are.

If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. Harry Potter disappeared a year after the Battle of Hogwarts, and with him went all hope for true change in magical Britain. Three years later, Draco indulges himself and attends his first Dog Fight—the infamous underground fights with no rules, no referee, and no points system bar blood on the floor. The game was simple: you win, or you die. A glint of green amidst the blood-red changes everything.

#the red marbling was perfect and uhg that slanting bind makes it look dangerous #i just want starry to be the person who dictates what all books look like is that too much to ask #fic rec #drarry #draco malfoy #harry potter
