Drarry 2022 Roundup!

Just some drarry I loved in 2022.

Love to do year round-ups weeks after the year ended and with zero system or approach except scrolling back through my bookmarks and being like "aw yeah, that one! Nice!". Anyway, here are 16 drarry fics that got me through 2022.

Contretemps by @moonflower-rose (8.5k)

This was my erised gift and it's perfect! Some really fun magical lore, a perfectly fumbling bumbling Harry with a crush, and the rare oblivious Draco. It's quick and witty and sparklingly awkward.

The Unknown Door by waterwings (70k)

This fic was in a class by itself! The house magic was eerie and Draco's post-war fate was bleak, and then there is a slow, glorious healing of everyone through a community of misfits. Really imaginative magic and a lot of finding of lost ways.

The Stuff of Clouds and Skies by @myrtlefics (7.5k)

Harry with an obvious crush and ANOTHER oblivious Draco, truly 2022 was my year in that regard! And then there are the 17th century ghost bros, and Draco helplessly finding himself having to do things he thought he'd never do again to save Harry. And THEN Draco has to spend a bunch of time stumbling through an Auror investigation with a competent Ron and it's all just.....unf, so good.

Romp and Circumstance by @wolfpants (35k)

Like drinking champagne while horny. Such a sexy, fun fic, which makes sense as it's from Bodice Ripper Fest. Draco as the virginal ingenue meeting Harry's rake seduction head-on was delicious and overwhelming and full of 'technically' not crossing any sexy sexy lines, which, if you're into that, is hot as all get-out. (Spoiler: I am into that)

Eager for the Sky by @oknowkiss (35k)

Hogwarts AU that puts Harry and Draco on the same team and also makes quidditch have some level of strategy, a feat in and of itself! Harry is a confused, bumbling seducer who is so bad at it that Draco has no idea, which means......another oblivious!Draco! It's funny and insightful and poignant and well worth a read.

In Free Fall by @kbrick (81k)

Harry is an adrenaline junkie doing stunts all over the world. Draco is a big old nerd. They grow to understand each other and make space in one another's lives. This was really thoughtful and insightful about like....mm, maybe what it's like wanting things different from the standard, and I was enthralled by the way Harry shaped and reshaped his life. Honestly don't think I'm doing this one justice, just read it.

Yours Truly by @skeptiquewrites (14.5k)

Ahhh this one is so much fun! Fake dating! Fake dating! And then a furious but handsome Draco, a community of friends, some very cool magical jobs, and Drunk Hermione my love.

The Truth about Love by waterwings (52k)

Pureblood magic and rituals being dismantled! All the fun of learning about ancient, complicated snobby binding rituals AND the joy of Draco's personal growth being in dismantling them. Lots of great friendship stuff, with Pansy and Hermione especially as affectionately mocking allies.

I have not yet forgot myself to stone by @elskanellis (3k)

Absolutely haunting Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind LCDrarry crossover. It's ambiguously tragic and lovely and fragile and beautiful. It takes the trope of them finding each other over and over no matter what and turns Harry's utter faith into a tragic flaw.

Welcome! Everything is Fine! by @melociraptor (12k)

A smart and funny Good Place @lcdrarry fic with pitch-perfect character voices. Truly worth a read for drarry encountering Jason Mendoza alone, and then there is EVEN MORE to love beyond that! It's sort of picaresque scenes from a year, varying between hilariously silly to startlingly poignant, and it's worth a read even if you're unfamiliar with the original work.

Our Time by @mosrael (40k)

Another fic with astonishing world-building and deeply cool magical lore. I've never seen the work it's based on (Arrival), and I did not care. The driving magical mystery was exciting, and the drarry relationship develops naturally and joyously alongside it.

Silverpoint by @tackytigerfic (8k)

I could have linked p much any tackytiger fic I've read this year buuuut this one is most recent in my bookmarks so it gets the shout-out 😂. It's a lovely, short, second-person look at Harry's observations of Draco over the years. Read it and then also the rest of tacky's fics.

Tis a Far Better Thing by @the-sinking-ship (37k)

This Clueless AU sent me on a tear through all of Sinking Ship's fics, and I stand by that choice. Draco's voice blends beautifully with Cher's, and Draco as the lost, confused fashion plate socialite discovering himself is absolutely perfect. This reclist could maybe double as an oblivious!Draco one because guess what he's here, too, and I love it.

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them by @dustmouth-blog (96k)

Comfort read that feels like taking a long hot bath then crawling into clean sheets for almost 100k words! Harry has some mh stuff to grapple with, and there are some gentle negotiations around sex and relationship stuff, and it's all so careful and soft and soothing.

Exposure by @margeurite (6k)

Suuuuch a hot fic omg. Draco accidentally discovers Harry's exhibitionist streak alongside Harry himself awkwardly realising oh no he is into this and it's just. Hoo boy. It's steamy.

Come as you Are by @peachpety (3.5k)

Peach is a master of texting/social media in fics, and this was the one that made me fall in love! Sweet little high school AU with awkward sexuality and a lot of fun online gossip

Potential Gravity by zeitgeistic (32k)

This one stands on its own; I can't really compare it to any other fic. Harry's lack of care for his own life is in full effect, and Draco is so angry at him for it. Some cool looks at magic and magical govt outside of England (in Beirut!) And also there is a baby manticore.

Knead, then let rise by @softlystarstruck (7k)

I guess another theme of my year is soft, gentle, soothing fics of healing. Real mystery, that, cannot even guess why that might have been 😅. Anyway, it's lovely and domestic and sweet.

And that's all, folks! Read em, don't read em, but those were my favourite fics that I read in 2022! Thanks to all the authors for making me laugh, cry, or soothe myself to sleep!

WIP Wednesday

Tagged by: @thequeenofthewinter @rainpebble3 @elavoria thank you, friends! Finally off work with a chance to read/write, and I'm going to have so much fun catching up on all your work 💕

Tagging: @atypicalacademic @kookaburra1701 @nientedenada @thana-topsy @justafoxhound @dumpsterhipster @sylvienerevarine @snowberry-crostata @nuwanders @wispstalk @gilgamish @tallmatcha @zomboidatomic @skyrim-forever @viss-and-pinegar @chennnington

I'm repurposing a once-abandoned WIP for a Tes Fest prompt (maybe, eh it's a little too self indulgent).

The brass mirror on the wall is dull, reflects a face he can’t quite recognize. Has he always looked this way or has he become smaller, whittled down and folded by the gnarled hands of fear? Tonight, he is more mirage than manifest, and does he look the same as he did in the daylight, the same as when he met her? The same or sheerer, here but hardly, faint as gossamer, a ghost? The stench of Bravil wafts in through the cracked window, and for once it is a grounding presence letting him know he hasn’t yet dissolved. She stirs in bed, his Nimileth speaking in strange tongues. Or a woman shaped like his Nimileth. A creature wearing her skin. Though the night has stolen the pigment from his eyes, she is the only thing not bathed in a bleary gray. The world around him is hazy. He must be dreaming. He must be dreaming because though Masser’s beams bleed upon the wall, it is a haggard, dust-mantled gleam compared to the lurid light spilling freely from her pores. “Come back to bed” she says, but the voice is not hers and the legs carrying him closer are not his either. Still they approach. He pulls himself closer, then he is astride her, and she is not here but everywhere, bottomless and abyssal, the ripples growing on the dark surface of her eyes. And Nimileth loves in madness. She drinks his color, ever thirsting. They say to be touched by a God is a gift, but this… When his palms slide over her, something stirs deep to the skin. Lucien will never see it so long as he remains here. He will never see it, neck craned and head braced above the water, holding his breath until it burns, until he tries to scream but can’t. He will not see it until he joins her, lets go, releases. He will see it only when he drowns.

Some more Nimileth bumbling through godhood, tormenting Lucien while she's at it 🥰

Let's dive in!

☆ Always be my Master by jiminthestreets_bonesinthesheets @jiminthestreets-bonesinthesheets

[Explicit - 5,402 w]

Anakin has just been knighted, and both he and Obi-Wan are having a hard time with what that could mean for them. Neither of them are looking forward to the distance that could be put between them once they start taking on separate missions from the Council, but Anakin has a little something planned to hopefully help Obi-Wan feel a bit better about the situation.

☆ Don’t Bully Anakin He’ll Cum :( by StarryAri (damndameron) @starryariart

 [Explicit - Fanart]

Anakin getting railed while wearing a silly little shirt. Based on a prompt for Top!Wan Obikin Fest!

☆ The Only Sacred Part of Me by MoonyRoony

[Explicit - 5,052 w]

Anakin Skywalker, a newly presented omega, goes to the Halls of Healing for his first gynecological exam. Healer Obi-Wan Kenobi guides him through it with a slow and gentle hand.

☆ Get My Way by Darkwhisperings @dark--whisperings

 [Mature - 6,711 w]

Normal was good. Normal meant that everything was right in the universe. This… this was decidedly not. Or. Five times Obi-Wan watched others lust over his very… pretty padawan, and one time he staked his claim.

♥ love’s a hand-me-down brew by amadwinter @amadwinter

 [Explicit - 19,431 w - chapters: 6/8]

Obi-Wan has a steady job teaching at the university, a low-rate mortgage on comfortably sized condo in a nicer part of the city, and a respectable social circle. He has no criminal record, no sordid past he’s hiding, he’s in relatively good health, and his friends tell him he would make for an excellent romantic partner. But Obi-Wan’s not looking for love. That’s far too big a commitment. If love is to find him, it will have to hunt him down and kidnap him first. He usually satisfies himself with pretty young things he meets at bars, but unlike his usual taste in lovers, the doe-eyed graduate student that Obi-Wan keeps finding in the wrong library doesn’t seem to notice his flirting. He might have to spell out his intentions if he wants something more. Though Anakin is far from the only oblivious one in their library.

☆ No more blind dates by jiminthestreets_bonesinthesheets @jiminthestreets-bonesinthesheets

[General Audience - 2,835 w]

Padmé sets Anakin up on a blind date… again, and despite his annoyance he goes and of course he gets stood up, let alone waiting at the movie theatre looking like a lost puppy. Thankfully someone else finds him.

☆ Bunnywan & Nyanakin by StarryAri (damndameron) @starryariart

[Explicit - Fanart]

Furry-ified bunny Obi-Wan is entering his mating season and just wants to fuck his catboy Anakin all the time!

☆ It’s Always Been You by boguspreston & StrangeLilBat

[Explicit - 12,601 w]

GFFA-verse Unable to admit to their feelings, Anakin and Obi-Wan seek alternate means to relieve themselves of their sexual frustrations. or The idiots are in love and too stubborn to do anything about it. In classic Obikin bumbling style, they accidentally end up picking each other at a gloryhole.

♥ sleep won’t come the whole night through by veloursdor @veloursdor

 [Explicit - 9,910 w - chapters 4/5]

Anakin Skywalker had been in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi since he was nine-years-old, before he even understood what love was, or what being in love actually meant. But while Little Ani had always dreamt of romance and a happily ever after where Obi-Wan was concerned, eighteen-year-old Anakin knew a fuck without expectations of more was all he’d ever get with the man that would always have the biggest piece of his heart.

☆ Art by @yatsukisakura

Obi admires Ani’s perseverance against the odds, and using food as love language - after all, food will be more enjoyable with someone you love.

☆ Out of Sync by grapenehi @grapenehifics

 [Explicit - 8,441 w]

Anakin may have the worst timing in the entire Jedi Order. First, he spends one incredible night with Obi-Wan Kenobi - his best friend, the most handsome man in the entire galaxy, and his former Master - only to immediately be sent away to the Outer Rim sieges. Then, just when Obi-Wan finally manages to come visit him, Anakin screws up on a mission and is put on house arrest. Ahsoka and Kix try to cover for them, which is exactly when Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi Council arrive for a surprise inspection… Kriffing timing.

☆ because it brings me back to you by amadwinter @amadwinter

[Explicit - 12,182 w]

Obi-Wan stumbles back to the Temple drunk and tired, but the padawan asleep in his bed is too tempting to leave alone.

♥ the song has ended but the melody carries on by veloursdor @veloursdor

 [Explicit - 4,040w - chapters ½]

They only found a lightsaber when all was said and done. After the dust from the battle had settled, when the field had been cleared, Anakin had been nowhere in sight. Obi-Wan had refrained from searching high and low for his former Padawan, deciding instead to trust in the Force’s will and in his Padawan’s ability to survive almost everything. Because to think otherwise was something he couldn’t even consider.

♥ to love is to choose and be chosen in return by veloursdor @veloursdor

 [Explicit - 11,530 w - chapters 2/8]

“Have you ever heard of sugar babies?” Anakin Skywalker, a part-time student and part-time intern at Stewjon Motors, enters into a contractual arrangement with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the CEO of Stewjon Motors, to become his sugar baby. The catch? Love is off the table. For both of them. But Anakin has been a rule breaker since the day he was born.

☆ Anywhere Else is Hollow by calico_sky @underacalicosky

[Explicit - 26,779 w]

Past experiences have shaped Anakin’s trust issues with sexual partners and wariness of relationships, but he meets Obi-Wan and begins questioning everything he thought he didn’t want. The only problem is, Obi-Wan has his own scars from his past that further complicate the process of earning each other’s trust.

☆ life imitates art by innominatta (ineptia)

 [Explicit - 6,752 w]

Anakin has been practicing his art ever since he got top marks in one of his extra courses as a padawan. He good at drawing two things: faces and hands. He finds he’s even better at drawing these things when they’re Obi-Wan’s hands and face. Anakin’s art turns from simple hand studies to putting Obi-Wan’s likeness in a multitude of sexual situations. Anakin keeps these drawings stashed away until one day Obi-Wan finds them.

☆ Abuse of Power by athecai

 [Explicit - 14,673 w]

Obi-Wan has been charmed by his young and troubled patient, Anakin Skywalker. At first he thinks little of these feelings, but once the obsession settles in, he no longer cares about the risks it takes to satiate his hunger. Or, Obi-Wan is Anakin’s therapist and falls in love with him in the worst ways possible!

Daybreak is barely visible above the towering skyscrapers. You can barely make out the golden haze of the rising sun through the buildings, but it’s there, greeting you as you stand and wait for the morning transport. You sway a little on your feet, still a little drowsy without finishing your caf. You grip the metal cup in your hand tighter and take a sip, just as your other hand is squeezed. You lean into him–gently, he kisses the side of your head, just below your temple–and together, you listen to the sounds of the city-planet waking up.

The thrum of morning traffic surrounds you, the engines of the speeders and transports that zip between the buildings a cacophony of high-pitched whines and low-toned hums. Your building is nowhere near the starports, there are no mechanical roars, no ear-splitting throbbing that is so typical of interplanetary, long-range ships. No, the largest craft in this sector of the planet are the public transports and the boxy cargo barges that float between shops and warehouses like bumbling pollinator nano-droids.

There’s a daycare in your building, somewhere on the floors that stretch above you, and you can hear the sounds of children, grumpy to be awake so early in the morning, sad that their parents have once again left them with their caretakers. You feel for them. You, also, would rather be home in bed right now.

Your transport arrives unceremoniously–no rush of wind, no honk of a horn, just a relatively quiet downshift of the motor and the hiss of doors opening. You step into the transport, your right hand trailing behind you, fingers laced loosely in the grasp of the man that follows. 

It’s warmer in here than it was on the platform, the planet’s cold season just beginning to dig its claws in. And as you settle into a seat, you burrow your way into the man’s side to bask in his warmth, too. Yoongi chuckles softly and adjusts how he’s sitting so that you’re comfortable, and shifts his own caf to his other hand so that he can pull his datapad out of his bag.

His hand rests on your thigh, the caf he clutches is warm against your leg. He scrolls through the day’s news on his datapad, dark hair falling into his eyes as he reads. Normally, you’d read over his shoulder, humming when you were done and ready to move on to the next article. But today, you lean against him and look out the window.

You never thought you’d get used to living on Coruscant. Not least because the planet is just one large city, its surface covered from ground to what feels like the edge of space in endlessly tall buildings. But no, there’s something so different in the energies of the planets at the center of the galaxy. A kind of buzzing, restless energy that used to keep you up at night. Fest, though busy in its own right, was sleepy in comparison. And while you rarely got rest with the rebellion, your time there felt more like clawing your way back from the brink–desperate and hungry for something better. 

Here, though, life is easy. You enjoy it. Maybe that’s what you’d been reacting to, all those years ago.

When Commander Vela had approached you with the prospect of heading up the Imperial records dump and moving to Coruscant, you’d fought him. You wanted to be in the field. You wanted to finish what you’d started–you wanted to squash the remains of the Empire. The Emperor was dead, but his followers were still out there. Eventually, he’d worn you down. 

Or, more accurately–and more predictably–Yoongi had worn you down.

A safe place to land after a decade of interplanetary espionage was hard to pass up. A cushy job running a massive data library on a warm planet with any amenity you could dream of? You’d be an idiot to say no, he’d said. And how could you argue with that? Especially since he’d offered to come with you.

The transport slows outside of another building, and more people shuffle on. An older woman slides into the seat facing yours. Her dark skin is weathered and aged, but the most prominent lines on her face are on either side of her lips–such deep laugh lines have to indicate a long, happy life, right? She smiles at you warmly, her eyes drifting from you, to Yoongi, to where his hand rests on your thigh. Briefly, you wonder what she’s thinking, but you’re interrupted by Yoongi’s pinky rubbing against your knee. 

“Gonna be another late night,” he mumbles, angling his datapad slightly so that you can see the message he’s reading. You don’t even have to get too far into the missive before you come to what he’s referring to. “Twenty standard years of data,” Yoongi reads, and already, he sounds exhausted. 

He’s right, though. That data is getting transferred straight to you and your team. You sip your caf and sigh out, “Gonna need you to make me another one of these in like an hour.”

He laughs, dark eyes disappearing into happy crescents behind his glasses. “I can do that.” He leans in, lips brushing your hair quickly.

The old woman smiles, but you barely notice, your mind too preoccupied with the sudden influx of work now on your plate.

The hand on your shoulder scares you. You place your hand on your chest in a helpless attempt to calm your pounding heart. There’s a soft ‘sorry’, and a gentle kiss placed to the top of your head as Yoongi massages your shoulders.

“Take a break,” he mumbles, nose pressing into your hair. “Come eat.”

It’s cute. He’s learned not to tell you to walk away, to hang it up for the night. He’s grown since the Academy, where he would tell you to end your studies for the night. Now, he’s transitioned into convincing you to take breaks and eat meals. You suspect partially because it’s easier–a way to save both of your sanities.

You sigh, push yourself away from your desk, rub your eyes. You’ve been staring at your monitor and your datapad for what feels like hours. It probably actually has been hours, because you can’t see sunlight through the slatted windows in your office. Yoongi’s fingers press into a knot in your shoulder and you groan, head lolling forward a little.

“Come on,” he coos, pulling you to your feet. You groan from the effort, muscles stiff and aching now that you’re actually using them. He tugs you forward and you let yourself fall into his arms. He hums, arms tightening around you. “How far’d you make it?”

“Not far enough.” Your voice is muffled as you bury your face into his shoulder.

His hands skim up and down your back–his touch is feather-light, yet it leaves fire in its wake. It’s been four years, and still, a simple, gentle touch from him leaves your skin tingling and your heart fluttering. Perhaps you haven’t grown so much since your teenage years, after all.

“You’ve done well.”

Slowly, he walks you out of your office, arms still around you as he guides you into the library’s employee galley. It must be late. There’s no way he’d act like this if any of the rest of your team was still there.

“I sent everyone home,” he says as he pulls out a chair for you, answering a question you hadn’t even asked. “They were done, for the most part. I finished up for them and figured we could do the rest together.”

Your team is not large–just five people not including you or Yoongi–and you oversee and organize naval data taken from the Empire’s records. You have analysts, encryption experts, historians, sociologists. And what you don’t know, you all learn together. You love your team, but sometimes, when you get slammed like this and the sheer volume of incoming data overwhelms you, you forget about them. They’re self-sufficient, and you work like a well-oiled machine, and it’s easy to get absorbed into your own little bubble of analysis and reports.

And in those moments, among almost any other moment in your day, you’re grateful that Yoongi is there to take care of what you can’t.

You shoot him a look that you hope conveys everything you’re feeling. Bless you. You’re amazing. Thank you for picking up my slack when I can’t. All of it. More. He simply kisses the top of your head and hands you a container of warm food. It smells delicious, and immediately, you know it’s take-away from your favorite place in the north sector. You sigh.

“I don’t deserve you.”

He hums. “Not true.”

There are moments like these where you feel a little twinge of guilt, the ghosts of your past still there, haunting you from the corners of your memories. You haven’t forgotten the fact that you’d left, nor the tenseness of your first weeks reunited. But you’ve come so far since then. It’s hard to believe that five years ago, you’d been so venomous and cold to each other. Looking at him now, at the doofy, gooey, honey-warm look he’s giving you, it’s almost hard to believe the journey you’ve been on together.

When you’re done eating, you sit together on the library floor, surrounded by the stacks of digitized records and books. They cast a cool, blue glow over the room, and you open the shades on the window so you can look out across the city-planet. Aside from your offices, the library is one large room, with stacks and terminals to navigate the information contained within. It’s on the 115th floor of the building, housed among other New Republic offices and resources, so the view out the windows–though you rarely see it–is something to marvel at.

Below you lights twinkle and shine like stars. It’s strange. You can’t see the stars above. Between Fest and the stations and ships of the rebellion, you’d gotten so used to seeing the stars. But you don’t mind them being gone. Coruscant is a marvel, especially at night, and there’s a certain beauty in watching the lights of the speeders and delivery trucks that run ‘round the clock as they buzz and weave around and through the buildings. It’s raining, and the falling drops only serve to make the lights glisten more.

You’re tucked into Yoongi’s side once again, legs resting over his own. He has one arm around your shoulders, holding you close to him. His thumb traces small patterns into the meat of your arm. His other arm–his left arm–rests across your legs. He hasn’t said anything, but you’re sure it’s bothering him. Physically, he’s completely healed from your final run-in with Grafner, save for a small scar, an angry silver against his otherwise lightly golden skin, and the ache that comes when there’s a change in weather.

He’s staring out the window, watching the rain roll down the windows. You watch him, admire the softness in the curves of his face, his button nose, the fluffiness of his hair. 

“Hey Yoon?” you breathe, finally breaking the silence of the moment. He hums, and it takes a brief second for him to pull his eyes away from the window to meet your own. Butterflies erupt, and your insides do an excited little flip-flop with the eye contact. “I love you.”

It’s not the first time you’ve said it–at this point, you’ve lost count–but the grin that spreads its way across his lips is just as shy and incredulous as it was back then. You can see the flush creep across his skin, a ruddy red-pink that blossoms up his neck and up to his ears. Usually, you might tease him about it, but today, you stay silent, instead reaching up to tuck an errant strand of dark hair behind his ear.

“I love you,” he repeats, leaning in to kiss your nose, then your forehead. He lingers there for a moment and he sighs, content. He pulls away slightly, lips finally meeting your own once, twice, three times. His eyes sparkle when they meet yours.

“What do we need to finish to go home?”

so uh... that was the end. what do we think? I wanted to make sure we ended on a high note. I think mc and Yoongi deserve it after everything. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and the entire fic! do we want more? I could see me coming back to this universe for some drabbles in the future. they're so much fun to write.

Blind Dates 2024: Patsy Harangody

Pasty is the secretary you wish had, but she's not going to put up with your foolishness - even if you were the most beloved Marine officer in the PTO.

A shout out to @shoshiwrites for being an absolute peach and for beta reading my fic. All remaining errors are entirely my own. And thanks to @mercurygray for being my Andy Haldane sounding board and for creating and running the @blind-dates-fest for all of us to enjoy.

Fandom: The Pacific (AU, postwar)

September 1947

Chicago, Illinois

He didn’t interrupt while she finished typing a memo. That was the first thing Patsy Harangody noticed about Andy Haldane, before she even got a proper look at him. Most of the coaches at the University of Chicago simply walked up to her desk and started talking, even if she was in the middle of work. At the very least, they faked a cough to get her attention, as if she couldn’t see them out of the corner of her eye. But Andy Haldane pretended to be interested in a photograph on the wall until he saw her pull the sheet of paper out of the typewriter.

“Welcome to Chicago, Coach Haldane,” she said after he introduced himself. She could tell by his accent he wasn’t just new to the university but the city as well. “Please take a seat until Mr. Carlson is ready to meet with you.” She gestured to a nearby chair. “Coffee?” she asked as he sat down. 

“No, thank you,” and he trailed off as he looked at her finger. “No thank you, Miss Harangody.” The nameplate on her desk simply read Patricia Harangody, not giving away her marital status. While she addressed visitors with their titles - coach or mister, sometimes dean or professor - rarely did anyone return the respect. Just Patricia. Just Patsy. Just a secretary.

She opened a drawer and took out a file, pretending to look over its contents. Instead, she watched him continue his recon exercise. She saw him look at the photos on her desk, one of her family on the steps of their apartment and the one with Ginny and Abigail and Flo when they had leave and took the train down from Washington to Virginia Beach. He took in the sorry plant struggling to stay alive despite her best efforts and the sociology textbook she bought last week, storing these pieces of information away, in case they could help him later. He looked up at the clock on the wall behind her and compared its time with his wristwatch, frowning ever so slightly at Mr. Carlson’s lack of punctuality.

“Any words of advice before I go in there?” She looked up from her reading and saw him smiling at her. 

As the newest assistant football coach, it was now his job to meet with Don Carlson, the assistant athletic director, twice weekly - on Mondays to report on the game just played over the weekend, and on Thursdays to preview the game ahead  The assignment always fell to the newest coach, just as her position fell to the newest secretary, as it was common knowledge that Don Carlson was the stupidest man employed by the University of Chicago. 

Patsy could only guess what he had heard about her boss, and while she certainly had strong opinions, she wasn’t about to share them with a stranger, no matter how polite he was and how nice a smile he had. If she shared anything negative about Don Carlson and it got back to him, it would be her job on the line, not Andy Haldane’s. 

“Coach Haldane, please understand how important discretion is to being a successful secretary. While I haven’t seen your resume, I’m confident you have the education and work experience befitting a University of Chicago football coach. I have no doubt the meeting will go just fine.”

She caught him off guard for a moment, but he nodded, a sign of respect for what she refused to say.

Seconds later, Mr. Carlson came bumbling out of his office. “Coach Haldane, Don Carlson,” he said as he shook the younger man’s hand.” He turned to his secretary. “Patsy, why didn’t you tell me Coach Haldane was waiting?”

Patsy looked at the new coach, and she tilted her head to the side ever so slightly and rolled her eyes. 

I didn’t tell him you were waiting because he specifically told me not to interrupt him. He said he wanted to show you who was in charge here.

No actual words were exchanged, but he seemed to understand. 

“A pleasure meeting you, MIss Harangody,” he said before he walked into the office. 

When he walked out forty-five minutes later, he gave her a look.

What the hell was that? he silently asked her.

She shrugged her shoulders and looked down so she didn’t start laughing. He shook his head and walked out of the office, still in a daze.

The next morning, Patsy saw Coach Haldane on her walk from the train station to the athletic department office. 

“Miss Harangody,” he called out. “Do you have a minute?”

“Not really. I took a later train than usual this morning.” He nodded, understanding but seemingly disappointed at the same time. “You’re welcome to join me,” she added, and he smiled as they walked side by side.

Patsy loved this time of year, when you could almost smell the leaves change colors in the brisk morning air and motivated students gathered around the Gothic-style buildings, talking about classes and classmates. 

“It makes you almost forget we’re in Chicago,” he said. 

“What does?” she asked. 

“The trees and the buildings. The parks and the lake.” He waved his hand in the direction of the water. 

It was like he just read her thoughts. She felt unsettled and intrigued in equal measure.

“Were you in intelligence during the war?” she asked. 

He laughed. “Hardly. And my lack of intelligence is why I wanted to talk with you.” He put his hands in his jacket pockets. “I put you in an awkward position yesterday. I shouldn’t have asked you to divulge anything about your supervisor. It was disrespectful and unprofessional of me. I hope you’ll accept my apology.”

“Of course, Coach Haldane. I’m sure it’s difficult being in a new place. I don’t begrudge you trying to get an advantage, but I’m glad you understand my situation,�� she said.

“Thank you,” he said. He pulled out an envelope from his pocket. “These are for you. Two tickets to the game on Saturday. It’s one of the perks of the job, and you’re the only person I know here who isn’t part of the team.”

“I’m not sure about my weekend plans …” she trailed off. She didn’t care for football, but it felt rude admitting that to a football coach.

“Take them, just in case,” he said.

She grabbed the envelope. “Alright. Just in case.”

“Miss Harangody.” He looked at her a moment longer than necessary and walked on.

She walked into her building and saw Lorraine, her friend and a fellow secretary, in line for the elevator.

“Hiya, Pats,” Lorraine greeted her. “How’s things?”

She thought of the envelope in her purse, his patience before walking up to her desk and his apology when he knew he was in the wrong. Even if she didn’t like football, there were always the trees and the tailgate parties and the coach on the sideline who she knew would be scanning the crowd for the secretary who accepted his tickets. 

“I know it’s only Tuesday, but what are you doing on Saturday?” Patsy asked. “Two tickets to the football game just fell into my lap.”

HP FESTS: Truly Madly Deeply Fest

Truly Madly Deeply Fest 2023: 

Eyes Locked to the Tide by Abraxas52 - M, WIP -  Being the apprentice of an evil Sea Enchantress is nothing like the stories you read within the pages of your dry and dusty books. There are dark creatures to hunt and lowly merfolk to terrorize and Hermione is all too eager to please her Master. That is until she makes a bold request: “You said we could continue my training on mind control.” “Very well.” Serefina moved away from her student, her expression pensive. “You are to swim to the surface. Humans are easily influenced. Find yourself a sailor and persuade him to swim to his death.” Will the eager Hermione be able to complete her task, or will her Jolly Sailor Bold  prove to be just as formidable an opponent? Dive into the depths of the Aegean Sea to find out if her ambition will outweigh an entirely new feeling– love.

Iris by AuroraNyx - E, WIP - "And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am."Draco Malfoy finally has the girl he's dreamed of being with as long as he can remember. Hermione Granger is his. But he never anticipated having to share her with Theo Nott and he absolutely hates it.He doesn't want to share her. He CAN'T lose her. What's the youngest Death Eater in history going to do to make sure the girl he loves is his and his alone? [Draco x Hermione x Theo]

Saltwater Lilies by Elishadoesdramione - E, 10 chapters - *** A small, barred window was set into the wall just above the ground. She was here. The girl jumped back as he approached. She was scared of him, he realised. He did not approach her again. Her fear smelled bad. It made him feel sick and drowned out the scent of lilies and sea water. Perhaps we’ll take her to the seashore. She smells like she’d like that. The wolf began to pace. He would not leave her. ***when Draco Malfoy is turned into a werewolf as punishment for his families failure to capture Potter the last thing he expects is to find his Mate, he definitely does not expect that Mate to be Hermione Granger. As Hermione and Draco attempt to survive the Dark Lords regime they find themselves changing, not necessarily for the better. Lord Voldemort's influence cannot be escaped within the confines of the Manor. [READ ALL WARNINGS]

The Lynchpin by Silver_26 - E, WIP - He had plenty of time on his hands. That, coupled with the boredom that came from the isolation left him itching to do something. Weasley’s bumbling nature with his too-big feet and gangly limbs…Potter’s ability to get away with anything, and Granger’s piercing laugh… That was aggravating enough and he wasn’t sure how much more of it he could put up with. Now though…a new idea was forming in his mind, and one he hadn’t given much merit until now.He did owe the trio one for taking his peace of mind, for ruining his chance of happiness and freedom. He had that particular favour to return to them.Draco Malfoy did not like owing anyone anything, after all. No true Slytherin ever did.And as for him?Well.He was a Slytherin through and through.

The Balance Of A Soul by Astrangefan, LiloLilyAnn - E, WIP - For Truly, Madly, Deeply Fest Prompt (song): Author's Choice: Creep by Radiohead******Five years after the war, Draco still finds himself struggling to keep the darkness at bay, a darkness he's certain comes from his association with Voldemort and the vile things he did in his service.

Love is Like a Shadow by LadyMorphia - M, WIP - Once upon a time there was light in her life, but now there’s only love in the dark. “I’ve caught you…Granger,” he snarled, pulling her closer still.

A Fate Worse by MyPrivateInsanity - E, one-shot - He could sense her now. Could smell her, find her, even in a city as large as London.He enjoyed the chase.

Belladonna by thisisanomdeplume - M, WIP - “Did you know when you married her? About the blood curse?”“Yes,” Draco said, a bitter clip to his voice.This surprised Hermione in more ways than one. Sure, Astoria Greengrass was a pureblooded witch, but Hermione thought something like a blood curse would have made her a less attractive choice for the Malfoy heir.She couldn’t stop herself from asking the next part, politeness be damned. He’d come to investigate them for wrongdoing, perhaps he could do with a little interrogating as well.“Did that make it easier, knowing it was coming?”He hadn’t looked away from the garden all this time, but she saw his throat work slightly before he answered.“No.”

'Til Death Do Us Part by bienfaeng - E, one-shot - She’d been feeding the boy poison for weeks. Angel’s hair, silver-grey and grown from seed in church soil, crushed in holy water with baby’s breath plucked under a new moon.

She was going to reverse it.Hermione and Draco have a marital spat on the night of their anniversary.

Crazy in Love by riddikulus_puff - E, one-shot - Hermione Granger had slowly been destroyed by the destruction that was the Second Wizarding War.

Everything had been taken from Hermione. Her mother. Dead. Her father. Dead. Her best friends. Tortured then murdered. Her dignity. Ruined. Her virginity. Nonexistent.

because you're mine by nyquilsquirrel - E, one-shot - Danger was an illusion, easily avoidable in reality if one was a methodical planner, methodically accounting for any potential degrees of deviance– quick on their feet, able to adapt at a moment’s notice– recalculating and recalibrating accordingly.Draco’s life– his heavenly, wonderful life– could have been rife with danger. But it was not.Nothing stood in his way. Not where Hermione was concerned.Nothing motivated a man more than his family– more than his wife.Nothing motivated Draco more than Hermione.

[ladylooch]

Okay here is an idea for Timo and Emma

Somewhat angsty lol

So maybe life is really busy with the 4 kids and it’s been a little while where Em and T were able to have some time alone. So maybe every little either Timo does or the kids do sets Emma off and she is easily irritated and annoyed. Like maybe making lunch for the kids and they don’t want to eat what she has cooked or Timo is gone longer than he said and Emma missed her workout class. So Timo is like okay obviously you have some tension let me help you loosen up 🥵and so they run off during the kids nap time

By Emma’s calculations, she should be about to her cooldown right now in her pilates class. She should be sweaty, but relieved to have gotten a work out in with how crazy the family schedule has been this week. Instead, she is sitting on the couch, monitoring Logan and Liam as their play time borders on becoming a slap fest. 

Timo is still not home.

He was supposed to be home two hours ago. Emma keeps getting texts from him with updates. 

I’m going to be a little later than I thought.

Still going here, babe. Need a bit more time.

15 minutes or so and I’ll be on my way.

I just left. I’m getting home as fast as I can. 

Fuck, I’m so sorry!

Emma believes him. She knows those RPMs on that Mercedes of his are going to be roaring through the streets of New Jersey. She had asked for one thing this week. ONE THING from her now retired NHL player of a husband. It was to make sure that he was at home by 1:00pm so she could hit her pilates class. Emma knows he is doing hard work right now. He is getting more involved in his friend’s clothing company that he has invested in for years. Now, that Timo  has the time, he has been asked to be more of a decision maker. Timo is very excited about the prospect and Emma is supportive. But she has needs too. Very hot ones that have not been met by her husband in weeks. 

“Logan.” Emma murmurs, watching him start to pat at his brother. A string of words in Swiss German and English come bumbling out of his mouth with none of them being coherent. “Baby, no. Hands to yourself.” The twins, who practically came out holding hands, do not understand this concept. “Be nice.” Emma finishes. Another thing they don’t understand as two year old terrors. 

“Baby! I’m here!” Timo calls into the house before he looks around. His eyes land on his wife so close. “Oops. Sorry. I thought you would be upstairs.” He flips his wrist, looking at his watch. “Can you still make it?”

“At 1:45? No.” Emma snaps. 

“Okay. Fuck. I’m so sorry. Is there a later one you can go to… or…” Timo purses his lips at the irritation puling her eyebrows together. “No? Okay.” He scratches at the back of his neck. “Um, how can I make it up to you?” 

Emma gives him props for the awareness and recognition and the genuine apology. But she doesn’t feel like she was asking for too much. One thing. In the millions of things that she has sacrificed for him in his career. Today she wanted one fucking thing.

“Make it on time tomorrow, please.” She says tightly.

“Yes, I will. Promise.” He comes to the living room. He kneels down by the babies then drops a big palm on each of the twins heads. “Hannah coming today?” 

“No, she is on vacation with her friends. It’s us against the kids.”

“Oh yeah, Tulum.” Timo grins. “Good mems, eh?”

“Mhm.” Em agrees. Timo craws over to her on the floor, literally on his knees. 

“I’m really sorry. You know that?” Emma nods. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Okay, can you just yell at me?” Timo groans, putting his forehead on her thigh.

“No. I don’t want to.” Emma shrugs. 

“This feels worse.” 

“Than me yelling at you? Good lord. We needed therapy more than we knew.” She leans forward, cupping both his cheeks. She kisses him deeply, letting her tongue swipe along the seam of his lips. He sighs, reaching a big hand around to the back of her neck. They make out like that, touching tongues and soft moans to each other until they’re both worked up. Liam comes to smooch their faces, breaking them out of their trace as Logan comes too. 

“Gonna bend that sweet ass over my knee tonight. When all the babies are in bed.” He murmurs hotly in her ear so the boys can’t hear. Emma smiles at him as he settles into the couch next to her with Liam. Logan curls into Emma’s arms. His little feet go over to his brother and he starts kicking. Liam begins to do the same immediately.

“Hey!” Emma and Timo say at the same time, grabbing the feet of the respective twin in their arms. 

“They just had to be boys.” Emma chuckles, leaning her back into Timo. He wraps an arm across her chest, gripping her opposite shoulder to keep her close.

“The universe knew I couldn’t have three girls.” Timo laughs as Logan starts to gnaw on Timo’s arm. Emma cups his little chin, wiggling it so he releases his dad’s skin. Emma smirks at the sweet grin he gives her. He looks like a little dinosaur with his jagged teeth. 

“Yeah, that is probably true.” She finally responds. 

Two more Livys would surely put Timo in an early grave.

HP Soulmates Fest 2022 : Masterlist of DRARRY fics

@hp-soulmates || official masterpost || AO3 || ∑ = 40 works (art, fic, podfic) The Mods + Banner © : @melcarrianna's Heartstopping Soulmate

1. Believe by @athousandpagesyettowrite [G, 4k]

His head screams with thoughts of it'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shimit'shim and it takes all of his willpower to concentrate enough to hear the boy’s- his soulmate’s- next words. “Oh. Oh no.”

2. The Bonny, Bonny Shores of Strathy Bay by elinor_snapdragon [M, 7k]

There is an enchanted beach in the north of Scotland, where if you visit one special day each year, the spirits are said to awaken and whisper the name of your soulmate. A gang of Gryffindors decide this might be a lark, and sneak away from a Hogwarts school trip for a giggle. They never expect it to work.

3. Chilly Feet by @orange-peony [E, 13k]

It all starts with a pair of chilly feet under Harry Potter’s bum.

4. Finding out what is Draco Malfoy up to - A Misguided Guide by Harry Potter by @purplehotmess [T, 17k]

Draco Malfoy is up to something - Harry knows because the git didn't come to work today and didn't even tell Harry— Or two idiots in love who bumble, fumble, and stumble their way into finally getting together.

5. Little Lost Things by @flightinflame [T, 10k]

Draco has been waiting his entire life for the first treasure from his soulmate. When he's six and a Muggle coin appears, it seems like everything is going to go wrong. Harry is confused to find a beautiful feather dipped in ink when he's cleaning the Dursleys' kitchen. But things like this happen to him. [...]

6. Needs and Wants by lilaced [M, 11k]

Draco finds out he’s a vampire, right before he finds out that his Fated is none other than Potter. It’s a purely magical bond, unable to influence feelings, but Draco is Draco and pining ensues.

7. Steady as you go by @deliciousblizzardshark [E, 21k]

When Harry is diagnosed with fatal soul-damage, the only cure is to bond him to his soulmate, who turns out to be Draco Malfoy. But Harry and Draco are both married with children. What is going to happen to their families when they decide to do the only thing that will save Harry's life?

8. The thin line by @nelweensfic [M, 10k]

After the war Harry felt different. His heart was lighter. Or that was what he thought. Seeing Draco Malfoy on the train to their eighth year did something to his soul. And he'll learn that there is a thin line between hate and love.

9. This Could Be Good by @cassiaratheslytherpuff [E, 6k]

As a child, Draco had always loved his mother’s tales of soulmates, but he never thought he’d experience it himself. The universe, apparently, has other plans. Or, the one where Draco saves a dog and gets a soulmate.

10. What's Right in Front of You by @orpheous87 [T, 7k]

When a spell cast in the eighth-year common room goes wrong, Harry's life is thrown into chaos. He wasn't ready to come out yet, but it turns out he didn't need to worry. His friends are very keen to show him that he has their support, but it gets a bit much. Seeking solace in solitude, Harry is reminded that he's not the only one affected by the revelation. As he and Draco spend more time together, they come to realise that maybe the spell wasn't as rubbish as they first thought.

CREATOR REVEALS DAY!

Creators have been revealed! Thank you all for participating, whether writers or readers, and for bringing all the sparkle to this fest!

Here are all the works:

DAY 1:

a straight up hoax by lola_prongs

Nick/Charlie, Tara/Darcy

Rated: NR  

Word Count: 7,572

Is it possible for two of the gayest people ever to pretend to be a straight couple for one night?

Charlie is roped into playing Darcy’s boyfriend during the company’s party where both her crush and his are attending together, since they are (supposedly) a couple. Neither of them is good at being straight so things don’t go as planned… but perhaps, that might be for the best.

*

two can play this game (and win) by thirteenick

Nick/Charlie

Rated: T 

Word Count: 5,342

Charlie Spring is a Twitch streamer and Nick Nelson is a YouTuber, they meet, fall in love and... Well, they try to keep it a secret. They manage, for a while. And then they don't. It's totally not Nick's fault that that happens (it is).

*

Friday Stagecoach Gold (and Blue) by planttaxonomy, MalD, ghostfern, KareliasKiss 

Nick/Charlie

Rated: T 

Word Count: 6,481

Once a week, for a short but glorious window, Nick Nelson and Charlie Spring catch the same bus to work.

Or

Four times Nick and Charlie almost speak to each other, and one time they do.

This is a group-authored fic we worked on together over the course of an intense 48 hours. The process has been poetically described by one of the authors: "It’s like one of those conspiracy theory evidence boards with all the yarn except it's a gay bus romance."- [redacted]

Please have a listen to Nick and Charlie's incredible Spotify playlist of commute bangers.

Thank you frogcakes for the beta read and cheerleading ✨

retriever? i hardly know her! by @benwvatt

Nick/Charlie

Rated: G 

Word Count: 2,243

'Oh god, oh god, he’s wearing rainbow shoes. Is he gay, or just extremely unaware that gay people exist?'

So there’s this boy. Man?

Boy? Fellow? Gent?

Cute Park Guy™ is either a professional dog-walker or someone with a large, bumbling group of pets. This is probably his day job; he plays tug-of-war with leashes and chew toys and, from time to time, Nick’s heartstrings.

In which Charlie is always at the dog park with a group of dogs, Nick is there with Nellie, and they both pine after each other softly from across the field.

They studied together most nights, one of the study rooms in the uni library becoming their unspoken spot, and hung out most weekends.

She also had another best friend, an ever-elusive boy named Nick, who he’d yet to meet but was assured did exist.

mastermind (none of it was accidental) by thirteenick

Nick/Charlie

Rated: T 

Word Count: 2,387

“They totally have a crush on each other.” Her friend Jesy whispers, poking her arm. Marti, distracted, looks back at her with a questioning look. “Mr. Nelson and Mr. Spring. They totally have a crush on each other, don’t they?”

“They totally do.” Marti giggles. “I thought I was the only one who noticed that. (...) We should do something about it.” She pops her head up, leaning into Jesy’s shoulder to whisper quietly. At the friend’s confusion, she gestures with her head to the teachers, engrossed in a conversation inside their little bubble once again. “Try to get them together.”

“I’m not sure if meddling is a very good idea when we’re talking about our teachers.”

or

Martina can't help but notice the infatuated way her French teacher, Mr. Nelson, and her Music teacher, Mr. Spring, look at each other. The sparkles are definitely there and her idea is good, so she figures the meddling will be smooth and easy. She's right - it is easy... But not for the reason she thinks.

Nick/Charlie

Rated: T

Word Count: 4,142

“What’s the last thing you remember? Of us, like the last thing we did together?”

“Um…” The curly boy stops, the weird question making a wave of anxiety hit him in the gut. “We played in the snow with Nellie, at your house.”

“Charlie that was… Over a year ago.” Nick says in a low voice. “We’re together now… I’m your boyfriend.”

Thank you for the tags today @artsyunderstudy @cutestkilla @you-remind-me-of-the-babe and Sunday @theearlgreymage @fatalfangirl

I have been strong-armed by @larkral although I wasn’t originally planning to post today because I haven’t written all that much and felt bad about it. In fact, I’m very grateful that @martsonmars posted about focusing on writing as a hobby because reading through their post and comments helped me take a little bit of pressure off myself too.

Here is some from “Escape to Space” which is pretty slow-going right now ACK!:

“Baz…” Snow wavers like he actually is injured again, “You’re wearing jeans.”

I tilt my head, “I am. And your hand is still down your pants.”

He immediately throws both arms in the air like some fugitive caught red-handed, “It’s not- I’m not- my sword!”

It takes him a moment, but then he grows even redder.

“Not my sword, but my sword. Like my actual blade.”

And here is actually some from a remix of @yellobb “48 Hours of Hell” I may never publish/finish but exists mainly for me to work out my own past 48 Hour Film Fest angst lol:

Penny thinks I’m jealous of Baz. Of course I’m jealous but I’m never admitting it out loud. He’s rich. He’s talented. But, I’m convinced he’s only talented because he’s rich. If I had his resources I’m sure I’d book gigs filming weddings and concerts and my ex-girlfriend's sorority recruitment video. Instead, I have to rent out all my equipment from the same place I bust my ass for minimum wage. Well, fine. It’s not a challenging job. I get to work on my homework during most shifts. Still, Baz is one of those music tech majors who thinks he’s a god for being in the conservatory and treats media production majors like bumbling idiots. It pisses me off.

Anywho I hope you all are live, laugh, and loving it up! I’m gonna go grab some dinner with friends and try to start the semester off strong! I don’t know if y’all have published today but idk I’m just going to throw out some usernames @ileadacharmedlife @moodandmist @onepintobean @palimpsessed @raenestee @simonsnowsfreckles @thewriterxj (BECAUSE I’M LOVING YOUR CURRENT SEASON TO TASTE WIP EVERYONE GO READ IT YOU ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED BY LAW FOR READING THIS POST) okayyyyyy byeeeeee

[onehundredflamingos]

For @theadultfandomproject back to Hogwarts fest

sticky and sweet / NSFW (explicit sexual content)

When James had started dating again after Lily, he didn’t ever feel guilty about it when it came to Harry. Maybe it was because he never felt a true connection with anyone, so it was never bound to effect his son at all.

Regulus, however, threw a wrench in that.

It was hard to say why exactly dating Regulus stressed him out: if it was because he was Sirius’ little brother, or if it was because he was Harry’s potions professor at Hogwarts.

Probably both, if he was being honest, but the latter felt a bit more consequential.

Being with Regulus made James feel like he was a teenager once more, sneaking around kissing classmates in broom cupboards or jacking them off in the locker room. He found himself asking to borrow his own invisibility cloak from his son so he could “play a prank on Sirius.”

Harry had brought it home after the winter holidays, and James had been sneaking through Regulus’ floo and using the cloak to walk around with him, either around the grounds, or even within the campus to catch students out past curfew.

Today, James had finally convinced Regulus to let him accompany him into Hogsmeade, since Regulus was forced to go as a chaperone for the students anyway.

“I’ll stay under the cloak the entire time, I swear,” James said, holding his hands up in a placating manner.

Regulus quirked a brow, giving him a very pointed look. “You are the most mischievous person I have ever known, James.”

“Please,” he begged, a bit petulantly. “I just want to spend time with you away from Hogwarts. If you won’t floo back to my house then this is the only way.”

“Why don’t you come back another weekend, and we can go to Hogsmeade then?”

“Reg,” James tried. “I’ll do whatever you want in here once we get back.”

“Whatever I want?” Regulus eyes darkened instantly, the proposal clearly enticing him.

James nodded. “Anything.” He leaned forward and kissed Regulus deeply—a promise.

“We’re gonna have to go to Honeydukes.”

****

James had somehow underestimated Regulus’ desire for fun in Hogsmeade.

First, Regulus dragged him into the stationary shop, insisting he needed new quills—raven feathers and eagle feathers, ones that would surely stand out from the children in the room.

“Flourish and Blotts next?” Regulus asked, and James was grateful for the cloak hiding his expression. He wasn’t as interested in leisurely reading as Regulus was.

He would’ve rather smuggled a beer from the Hog’s Head under his cloak, or sipped tea at Madam Puddifuts.

“I’ll wait for you outside,” James said. It wouldn’t do for him to bumble around invisible in a bookstore, anyway.

“Meet me at Honeydukes,” Regulus countered. “Pick out whatever you want for later and I’ll come grab it all in a bit.” His tone was suggestive, and James wasn’t entirely sure what was in store for him for later, or even what he should be looking for.

James swallowed thickly. “Okay,” he said, practically in a whisper. “Anything special?”

“Chocolate,” he said, without even a second of hesitation. “Anything with chocolate.”

James felt his cheeks pink and his cock twitch, and was once again grateful for the cover of the cloak.

“Go on,” Regulus said, nodding toward the candy shop. He must have recognized that James' feet hadn’t yet shuffled away.

“Right, okay,” James agreed, and Regulus immediately turned on his heel and walked into the book store.

James made his way into Honeydukes, scanning all the walls and displays for everything chocolate: chocolate bars, chocolate syrup, chocolate truffles filled with liqueur.

Once he had a long mental list, he stood by the door and waited for Regulus.

****

Considering the chocolate had been Regulus’ idea, James had assumed that Regulus would want to take charge, not that he would want to be covered in it.

Not that James was complaining.

James felt a bit out of his league, but he refused to let it show; instead he lined up bits of chocolate down Regulus’ chest and stomach, down to his public bone, drizzling chocolate syrup everywhere else. He coated Regulus’ cock with the stuff, thick and dripping to ensure his time licking it up would be ample. They had also bought the small liqueur filled truffles, little rewards to pop into Regulus’ mouth whenever James saw fit.

“Clean me up, James,” Regulus commanded, once James was finished, tone breathy. Clearly James had been staring for too long, taking in the sight before him.

James felt his body heat at the tone, blood rushing rapidly down to his hardening length.

“Mhm,” he agreed. He popped one of the truffles into Regulus’ mouth. He wanted to praise that tone, he wanted to be commanded by Regulus more.

James dipped down, nibbling a small chocolate bit off of Regulus’ sternum before licking a long strip of syrup that was coating his right nipple. James inched up and kissed Regulus, pressing the chocolate sauce into his mouth, forcing him to taste it.

“Mmm,” Regulus hummed, licking the edge of James’ bottom lip.

James got back to work, nibbling more bits of chocolate off Regulus’ chest, licking a line up his left nipple. He kissed Regulus once more—the last taste of sweat-tinged syrup Regulus would get.

The rest was for James only.

He made his way down the remainder of Regulus’ torso, scooping chocolate up with his tongue, smearing it with his lips.

Eventually, James gave up on cleaning him fully, skipping down to his cock, jutted out and leaking at the tip. James licked up the sides, relishing in the twitches and the moans he was getting from his partner.

Another truffle for Regulus.

James never wanted to stop hearing those sounds.

All at once, James took Regulus’ cock in his mouth fully, chocolate syrup squeezing out at the corners of his mouth lips, but James didn’t bother licking it up. He bobbed his head instead, cupping Regulus’ balls with one hand and stroking the base of his shaft with the other, every inch slick with chocolate syrup and James’ saliva.

Regulus dug his fingers into James’ hair, pulling lightly at the roots as he thrust up off the bed and into James’ mouth.

James continued working Regulus, sucking and licking, cheeks hollowed out, until Regulus showed the telltale signs that he was about to come. Pulling his mouth off, James worked Regulus with his hand the rest of the way.

Regulus came with a loud groan, his come landing on his chest and stomach, mixing with the remaining chocolate—something sticky and sweet that James couldn’t wait to lick up.

James fed Regulus one last truffle before diving back in, licking the chocolate and come off of Regulus’ body. He licked up and down his stomach, along the span of skin below his navel, in the crevices beside his balls.

James cleaned every bit of Regulus’ body before falling beside him on the bed, mentally cataloging all of the items he had seen at Honeydukes, and all the ways he planned to eat them off Regulus’ body.

☆ Always be my Master by Anonymous [Explicit - 5,402 w]

Anakin has just been knighted, and both he and Obi-Wan are having a hard time with what that could mean for them. Neither of them are looking forward to the distance that could be put between them once they start taking on separate missions from the Council, but Anakin has a little something planned to hopefully help Obi-Wan feel a bit better about the situation.

☆ Don’t Bully Anakin He’ll Cum :( by Anonymous [Explicit - Fanart]

Anakin getting railed while wearing a silly little shirt. Based on a prompt for Top!Wan Obikin Fest!

☆ The Only Sacred Part of Me by Anonymous [Explicit - 5,052 w]

Anakin Skywalker, a newly presented omega, goes to the Halls of Healing for his first gynecological exam. Healer Obi-Wan Kenobi guides him through it with a slow and gentle hand.

☆ Get My Way by Anonymous [Mature - 6,711 w]

Normal was good. Normal meant that everything was right in the universe. This… this was decidedly not. Or. Five times Obi-Wan watched others lust over his very… pretty padawan, and one time he staked his claim.

♥ love’s a hand-me-down brew by Anonymous [Explicit - 9,662 w - chapters: 3/8]

Obi-Wan has a steady job teaching at the university, a low-rate mortgage on comfortably sized condo in a nicer part of the city, and a respectable social circle. He has no criminal record, no sordid past he’s hiding, he’s in relatively good health, and his friends tell him he would make for an excellent romantic partner. But Obi-Wan’s not looking for love. That’s far too big a commitment. If love is to find him, it will have to hunt him down and kidnap him first. He usually satisfies himself with pretty young things he meets at bars, but unlike his usual taste in lovers, the doe-eyed graduate student that Obi-Wan keeps finding in the wrong library doesn’t seem to notice his flirting. He might have to spell out his intentions if he wants something more. Though Anakin is far from the only oblivious one in their library.

☆ No more blind dates by Anonymous [General Audience - 2,835 w]

Padmé sets Anakin up on a blind date… again, and despite his annoyance he goes and of course he gets stood up, let alone waiting at the movie theatre looking like a lost puppy. Thankfully someone else finds him.

☆ Bunnywan & Nyanakin by Anonymous [Explicit - Fanart]

Furry-ified bunny Obi-Wan is entering his mating season and just wants to fuck his catboy Anakin all the time!

☆ It’s Always Been You by Anonymous [Explicit - 12,601 w]

GFFA-verse Unable to admit to their feelings, Anakin and Obi-Wan seek alternate means to relieve themselves of their sexual frustrations. or The idiots are in love and too stubborn to do anything about it. In classic Obikin bumbling style, they accidentally end up picking each other at a gloryhole.

♥ sleep won’t come the whole night through by Anonymous [Explicit - 4,740 w - chapters 2/5]

Anakin Skywalker had been in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi since he was nine-years-old, before he even understood what love was, or what being in love actually meant. But while Little Ani had always dreamt of romance and a happily ever after where Obi-Wan was concerned, eighteen-year-old Anakin knew a fuck without expectations of more was all he’d ever get with the man that would always have the biggest piece of his heart.

☆ Art by @yatsukisakura

Obi admires Ani’s perseverance against the odds, and using food as love language - after all, food will be more enjoyable with someone you love.

☆ Out of Sync by Anonymous [Explicit - 8,441 w]

Anakin may have the worst timing in the entire Jedi Order. First, he spends one incredible night with Obi-Wan Kenobi - his best friend, the most handsome man in the entire galaxy, and his former Master - only to immediately be sent away to the Outer Rim sieges. Then, just when Obi-Wan finally manages to come visit him, Anakin screws up on a mission and is put on house arrest. Ahsoka and Kix try to cover for them, which is exactly when Chancellor Palpatine and the Jedi Council arrive for a surprise inspection… Kriffing timing.

❤️ because it brings me back to you by Anonymous [Explicit - 7,744 w - chapters 1/2]

Obi-Wan stumbles back to the Temple drunk and tired, but the padawan asleep in his bed is too tempting to leave alone.

♥ the song has ended but the melody carries on by Anonymous [Explicit - 4,040w - chapters 1/2]

They only found a lightsaber when all was said and done. After the dust from the battle had settled, when the field had been cleared, Anakin had been nowhere in sight. Obi-Wan had refrained from searching high and low for his former Padawan, deciding instead to trust in the Force’s will and in his Padawan’s ability to survive almost everything. Because to think otherwise was something he couldn’t even consider.

♥ to love is to choose and be chosen in return by Anonymous [Explicit - 5,140 w - chapters 1/8]

“Have you ever heard of sugar babies?” Anakin Skywalker, a part-time student and part-time intern at Stewjon Motors, enters into a contractual arrangement with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the CEO of Stewjon Motors, to become his sugar baby. The catch? Love is off the table. For both of them. But Anakin has been a rule breaker since the day he was born.

♥ Anywhere Else is Hollow by Anonymous [Explicit - 9,033 w - chapters 1/3]

Past experiences have shaped Anakin’s trust issues with sexual partners and wariness of relationships, but he meets Obi-Wan and begins questioning everything he thought he didn’t want. The only problem is, Obi-Wan has his own scars from his past that further complicate the process of earning each other’s trust.

☆ life imitates art by Anonymous [Explicit - 6,752 w]

Anakin has been practicing his art ever since he got top marks in one of his extra courses as a padawan. He good at drawing two things: faces and hands. He finds he’s even better at drawing these things when they’re Obi-Wan’s hands and face. Anakin’s art turns from simple hand studies to putting Obi-Wan’s likeness in a multitude of sexual situations. Anakin keeps these drawings stashed away until one day Obi-Wan finds them.

☆ Abuse of Power by Anonymous [Explicit - 14,673 w]

Obi-Wan has been charmed by his young and troubled patient, Anakin Skywalker. At first he thinks little of these feelings, but once the obsession settles in, he no longer cares about the risks it takes to satiate his hunger. Or, Obi-Wan is Anakin's therapist and falls in love with him in the worst ways possible!
