Hello! Here's the second part of the poetry reclist series! Part 2's recs are all by me, featuring more works written as specific types of poems. Banner is by the lovely @getawayfox! Find Part 1 here

Trochaic octameter:

Once Upon a Midnight Drarry by @mxmaneater (T, 1155) (Draco/Harry)

"Once upon a midnight Drarry, while I penned some snark from Harry..."

Yeah, I'm not kidding. I rewrote all 18 stanzas into a Drarry short - come read some meter and boys kissing!

Ballad:

Peeves’ Ballad by @mars-bar81 (T, 217) (Draco/Harry)

Peeves witnesses something interesting during the night...

Acrostic poem:

A Map Of Us by @peachpety (T, 332) (Draco/Harry)

Toe-to-head landmarks lead Harry on a journey through his relationship with Draco.

Sonnet:

Sonorous Sonnet by @vukovich (T, 150) (Draco/Harry)

For Drarry Drabble Challenge, August, 2021. Prompt: "Hold My Butterbeer."

[POETRY] Sonnet: "You bathed with Luna, too fatigued to care" by @julcheninred (NR, 106) (Hermione & Luna) (CW: Implied/Referenced Torture)

Hermione and Luna share a rough first night at Shell Cottage.

[POETRY] Sonnet: "They sent us to the greenhouses today" by @julcheninred  (NR, 105) (Draco/Harry)

There's nothing like a big whomping thunderstorm to clear the air.

Pantoum:

heartstrings/concentric by @softlystarstruck (G, 182) (Draco/Harry)

Ouroboros, eating my own tail,

circling around my affection;

afraid to cough it up at his feet, yet

terrified that the words will never come.

[POETRY] Pantoum: "The air is thick. I’m sweating through my clothes" by @julcheninred (G, 152) (Draco/Harry)

Draco contemplates the subtle science and exact art of brewing metaphors.

Blackout poetry:

Blackout poetry of @magpiefngrl’s fics 

Blackout poetry of @floydig’s microfic 

Blackout poetry of @phd-mama’s fic 

Mixed/Others:

The Thing I Hate About You by @diligent-thunder (M, 1030) (Draco/Harry)

An epistolary of a poet and his future lover, in which Draco is annoyed, Harry is a messy little shit, Blaise is a Bad Friend, and shit goes down in a flood of gin and hot chips. Ultimately, Draco laments his inability to master his heart, and oh so dramatically falls apart.

[POETRY] Terza Rima: "...Then Pansy threw a snowball at your head" by @julcheninred (NR, 107) (Draco/Harry) (CW: Grief/Mourning)

Crabbe's birthday is difficult for Draco.

[POETRY] Sestina: "Sometimes I dream I'm bleeding from my scars" by @julcheninred (NR, 332) (Draco/Harry) (CW: Implied/Referenced Abuse, Suicidal Thoughts) 

Draco's not okay, but he will be.

[POETRY] Villanelle: "The map says Malfoy's sneaking out at night" by @julcheninred (NR, 150) (Draco/Harry) 

Harry's just keeping a concerned, helpful eye on Draco, is all.

JULY 2022 UPDATE

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NORTH AMERICANS

Tim and Elliott will be available in Canada and the US on the 1st of January 2023!

It’ll probably get banned immediately in some states, possibly burned, but California should be fine? Get it shipped from there?

No Eggspectations

Hello all, I’ve had to hide Exceeds Eggspectations, as I rewrote it for a novel competition and I was worried they’d do a plagiarism check and think I’d plagiarised parts of my own fic. The new novel is 10k longer and has a totally different setting, new characters, new magic system, etc. It’s quite different, but there are sections the same as the fic (mostly Meggan, lol).

If you were partway through reading it, or want a copy, let me know, I don’t mind emailing them to you or whatever.

12 JUNE 2022 UPDATE

The Español version was released last week in Spain and Argentina at least (I got tagged in Insta posts)!

Thank you to all the Spanish speaking readers who’ve been so lovely on Instagram 🥰🥰🥰 You guys are amazing!

“You’re Asexual, so how could you possibly enjoy watching/reading/engaging with sexual content?!?!”

The same way I’m able to enjoy horror movies without having murdered an entire cabin full of teenagers before, Barbara you pedantic piece of pipe cleaner.

[diligent-thunder]

100% accurate.

I’m writing another oneeeee!! Almost at 50k, so, like, gimme a week.

Do you like YA stories set in magical high schools, but you're tired of End Of The World stakes? Well, I've found you a book.

Tim Te Maro and the subterranean heartsick blues - H.S. Valley

All your classic fanfic tropes are here - enemies to lovers, bed sharing, secret boyfriends, bonding magic, the posh one will only refer to the stubborn one by his last name, snarky friends, a lil bit domestic fluff, a lil bit crack, a whole lot of kissing, drunk courage, and mutual pining by idiots who don't communicate.

I dunno Tumblr, it feels like it was made for you. It'd be a shame to miss it just cause it also happens to be kiwi AF.

#i joke #orig is so slow #kill me

Lol, I wrote this.

Hi!

Just wanted to say I really loved your book! I was wondering do you have a playlist of all the songs you use for chapter titles? I love all the songs but I’m worried I’m not finding the right ones or missing some 😅💕. No worries if you don’t just thought I’d ask ☺️

Hiiiii. Sorry this took me ages to get to! First: Thank you 🙏 Second, there are two playlists, I will finish the second one (which is the chapter name playlist) and share it hopefully soon. The first you should be able to find on Spotify by searching the book title. That one is the VIBE playlist I used while writing the book :)

Ok, so, the ebook seems to be available in a few places internationally , including Barnes & Noble, Kobo Canada, etc. however… it shouldn’t be and I don’t know how long it’ll stay there. So, if you want the ebook, be quick.

In general it’s doing quite well in Aussie. NZ went it to a book less lockdown a few weeks after it was published though, so… yeah.

Any questions, ask away. X

I just came home to find a mysterious package from Australia on my doorstep and I was very confused until I remembered. I am going be reading this right now!! I am so excited! Just thought I would share.

Wo0000 it lives! Love it, such a buzz seeing it out in the wild! Thank you!!!

All of those would be cheaper than imprisoning people, so if you're against it, it can't be because of money.

Title: The Crane Lord of Gringotts Artist: @crazybutgood Media: Origami and harvested vines Author: @vukovich Length: 31k Rating: Explicit

“Draco?” “Hm?” His placid expression can’t hide the flush in his cheeks or his darting eyes. “Can I kiss you?” It’s eons and milliseconds before Draco draws a breath to answer, and a bead of water makes its way from his hair, down his forehead, to dangle off his nose just above Harry’s face. “If you mean it.” Harry swallows twice and lets his hands slide up Draco’s chest, into his soaked hair. “I mean it.”

Read on AO3.

Seems relevant

when I publish my novel I want you all to swear to me that you’re going to write uncomfortably erotic fic about characters I didn’t intend to have sexual tension 

swear it

swear to me
