Fic Recs Wrap Up - August 2020 (੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆
A Convenient Impracticality by firethesound @firethesound
Somehow Harry ends up agreeing to a fake relationship with his ex-nemesis-turned-friendly-acquaintance-with-benefits, except for some reason it involves an awful lot of actual dating and, sadly, not much sex. Confused? Harry is too, but when has anything with Draco Malfoy ever been as straightforward as it seems? Rec Post
A Series of Neighbourly Epistles by slytherco @slytherco
Harry finds himself in a very awkward spot when he calls the Aurors on his neighbour… having very loud sex. As in not actually killing anyone. He writes him a disgruntled note and thus begins a very interesting exchange. When they finally decide to meet, Harry’s not quite prepared to find out who his mystery neighbour turns out to be.
Or for everything that happens next, for that matter. Rec Post
Cassiopeia Lily Malfoy by GallaPlacidia
In eighth year, Harry had a toxic fling with Draco Malfoy. Ten years later, a little girl shows up, begging for Harry's help. Could the two be connected? And did Harry misunderstand what Draco was trying to tell him, the last time they spoke?
Feat. angry 8th year Harry being truly horrible to Draco, Draco writing a lot of letters he never sends Harry, and the most Gryffindor-Slytherin hybrid ten-year-old you've ever seen. Rec Post
Sex, Lies, and Veritaserum by lettered @letteredlettered
This entire fic is one long conversation about sex. Rec Post
Will you be my daddy? by SasuNarufan13
After Draco divorced from Daphne, Scorpius is set on finding a second daddy, because Draco told him he only loves men. He has even made a list. Then he meets Harry and he's dead set on getting him as a second daddy. Will he succeed? Rec Post
As Souls From Bodies Steal by Femme (femmequixotic) @femmequixotic
Hope may be found in the oddest of places, even in the bleakness of winter. Rec Post
Gravity by _Melodic_ (Sae)
Harry hasn't seen Malfoy in nearly two years--not since that thwarted kiss during Eighth year. When he stumbles across him working at a bookshop, his whole world is turned upside down. How does he deal with all these feelings that have come rushing back to the surface? And what about the pesky matter of Malfoy's new boyfriend? Rec Post
IDK My BFF Hermione? By lettered @letteredlettered
Draco's a hot mess. Harry's lovin' it (hell yes). Rec Post
₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ Here are some other fics you might enjoy-
It Gets Better by kaikim @thoroughlycollected
As much as the big picture matters, it only comes together if the details are all right.
Ten years after The Second Wizarding War there's a mysterious curse plaguing Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Ron, Hermione, and Harry come together again to save the school. When the evidence starts to point towards Draco Malfoy as the only one who can break the curse before it's too late, the three friends agree to convince him to help. But first, they're going to have to find him, and no one has seen or heard from Malfoy in five years. (note- I have not read this at this time, but it’s on my MFL) Art post by @zigster-ao3
Running on Air by eleventy7 @tinyhistory
Draco Malfoy has been missing for three years. Harry is assigned the cold case and finds himself slowly falling in love with the memories he collects. Art post by @saleiba-tu Art post by @bluebutter-art
Where I Feel Safest by Ladderofyears @clemandben
Draco has a mild phobia of thunderstorms. His boyfriend Harry comforts him. Art post by @miakagrewup
A Different Kind of Meaning by p1013 @p1013
The ceiling doesn't hold any answers, but there are cobwebs scattered across the corners with shadows tangled in their threads. The rug against his back is rough and scratchy, threadbare and devoid of colours other than various shades of brown. Harry takes it all in, absorbs the dingy and depressed state of his home. There's a pointed moment of decision, a note about to be played, a silence about to end, and then he rolls to his feet and sets to cleaning.
It's the first constructive thing he's done in years. Fic Claim Post
Modern Love by tackytiger @tackytigerfic
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. Fic Claim Post
Returning Tides by Zigster @zigster-ao3
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives Art claim post by @zigster-ao3
Keep Holding On by gnarf & MaesterChill @gnarf @maesterchill
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry and Draco both fall into their own battles with their mental states. Draco is sent to Azkaban, and Harry turns to drinking, hoping to forget.
Months later, Harry visits St Mungo’s new ward on the request of a friend, only to find Draco in a deep vegetative state.
Not willing to give him up, Harry stays by his side, while simultaneously dealing with the Ministry's newest grand idea to make everything worse.
Making new allies, and losing old ones along the way, will hopefully be worth it in the end. Fic Claim Post
In Love With the Ferret by Pineau_noir @pineau-noir
Harry has never been the most observant bloke. Sometimes to the point of him not realising his feelings for a particular pointy, pale git. And it's not his fault if literally everyone else knows about said feelings except for Harry and the git in question. So it's really not his fault, when faced with the scope of his feelings, he suddenly has a hard time talking to one Draco Malfoy. Or looking him in the eye. Or not being a total weirdo around him.
There's nothing to do but take the advice of his friends and try to woo Draco over dinners with friends, Ministry cases, and an unfortunately named Italian restaurant.
Harry just can't stop the flutter in his chest when he sees Draco smile. Art Post by @caroll-in
That’s all I’ve got for you at the moment, my lovelies! I hope you enjoy these! I’ll see you soon with more recs. As always, Thank You for reading, following, liking, & reblogging!

Key - 4.3k
Harry’s a cute barista, he wore some atrocious neon green crocs, and his sole purpose in life is flattering you. You’ve got to quarantine, so you consider buying a monkey and painting the cafe. Two proposals and several cookie deliveries later, and still nobody knows what’s happening with quarantine. But you and Harry will figure it out together. Written for the Quarantine Challenge!

...In Love - 2.5k
A little while later, and there’s a double date. Harry has a thing against pencil tapping, and this wasn’t his plan at all. One more double date, and a little switcheroo, and you’re a fool in love. [part two of Like a Fool]
Meant to Be - 1.5k
It’s cheesy, but true: you and Harry were meant to be. You just hope your first fight won’t ruin everything. Written for the Boyfriendathon!
fireworks - 2.5k
A reader insert featuring lots of fireworks, a lack of wine, and a New Year’s Eve party. Harry doesn’t like fireworks, but he gets them anyway. He should dye his hair pink. Some failed dates, a birthday surprise, a summer wedding.

Only Angel - 2.3k
She loves old rom coms, and she used to play piano, and she’s got Harry Styles wrapped around her little finger. She’s pandemonium, and there’s nothing she can do about it.
Meet Me in the Hallway - 1.8k
She’s still pandemonium, but she’s breaking his heart. Over and over, but Harry can’t let her go, because she may be the pain, but she’s also the antidote. Arabella’s gotta get better, Harry needs his morphine, and purple is the color of royalty. [part two of Only Angel]

This is late. And was supposed to be up last month. Well, no time like the present! Time for more Fic Recs!
Fic #1
The Voice of Life by thegreatroshen
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12627348/
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Word Count: 165,188
Chapters: 32
Published: August 24th, 2017
Last Updated: October 31st, 2018 (Complete)
This one is an OC fic, and part one of two. Part two is ongoing, and was last updated August 22nd. And hoo boy, is this a doozy. Basically the author saw funny FF7 list fics, and wondered who cleaned up after the idiots. And that is how this fic was born. The OC is Sephiroth's secretary, has a one-sided rivalry with Genesis, and has the entire SOLDIER division wrapped around her pinky. It's hilarious.
Fic #2
Her Rival by CasualOne
Fandom: Pokémon
Word Count: 85,525
Chapters: 6
Published: June 22nd
Last Updated: June 22nd
A Rayshipping (Ash/Cynthia) with a dash of Time Travel. The catch? Ash is not Ash anymore. This story is excellent. It plays with your feelings, and makes you incredibly invested in the world being crafted through the story, and most importantly, making you care about the characters. 10/10 Absolutely reccomend.
Fic #3
Drawn to Life by NickTheHuman
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Word Count: 188,158
Chapters: 45
Published: February 26th
Last Updated: December 3rd
Midoriya has a Quirk. To breathe life into his drawings. Which gets powered up by One For All. And he's childhood friends with two of the 1-B girls. ...To be honest, it's a bit difficult to think of something to say about this fic. I liked it, and found it entertaining, but it's not that memorable. Except for All For One. The guy is a genuine threat here, managing to outsmart Nedzu.
Fic #4
An Asura Is Born by TheNexus97
Fandom(s): Boku no Hero Academia/Kengan Ashura/Baki the Grappler
Word Count: 99,794
Chapters: 10
Published: April 5th, 2020
Last Updated: November 25th
Midoriya is basically Tokita Ohma. That's it. Oh, and Tokita Niko survives. And we still don't know what the fuck happened in that forest. Ahem. Okay, this one was highly entertaining. Seeing Midoriya grow from a pitiful street rat into a battle maniac was fun, and the pairing is also very interesting.
Fic #5
The First Pillar by NorthSouthGorem and Soleneus
Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Word Count: 187,808
Chapters: 10
Published: November 16th, 2020
Last Updated: October 31st
Another Midoriya has a Quirk. He possesses a telekinetic field that extends two inches from his skin, and allows him to control minerals. And he finds quite the creative applications for it. Not much to say about it, other than the fact that there are crossover characters. Not the characters themselves, mind you, but they share appearances, names, and personalities.
Welp, this is it. See ya next time!

AUGUST 2020 | #3
Every month, we ask our reader members to rec us some BTS works they’ve enjoyed. The works can come from any source (AO3, Tumblr, Twitter, Wattpad, etc.), can be either a fanfic or a SM AUs, and don’t have to be from our own writer members. We’ve compiled this month’s recs in this list; Happy browsing!
SFW | Fanfic
Acclimatization by peonyswamp
college au | roommates au | oneshot
Summary: Acclimatization or acclimatisation is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment.In which an individual organism is a sometimes grumpy university student and his environment involves a new roommate, a dog barking all night and other terrifying ordeals.
@taerseok said: Okay,,, this fic was absolutely everything and i love the dynamic between sope. it's so cute (mickey stole my heart in this one) and adorable and i was laughing pretty much every time i read the next dialogue. it was so so sweet at the end and for a second i almost expected an angsty ending which i wasn't ready for but then they confessed and i felt so relieved??? the dialogues are top-notch, the characterization is chefskiss, and the plot is just perfect. it's a great story to read when you want something to cheer you up!
NSFW | Fanfic
Chemical X by jvante
fluff | smut | humor | angst | oneshot
Summary: Jeongguk signs up for cooking classes and meets the love of his life. Seokjin teaches cooking classes and meets his mortal enemy.
@joopiterjoon said: This is a feelgood fic. If you are having a bad day, a sad day, a lonely day, read this fic. The friendships are chaotic, the love is silly. Jungkook has the fattest crush with terrible metaphors and he ruins so much food you won't get hungry reading about cooking. Jin has the sass and the class. Vmin are the best worst friends we've all had. It had me lol'ing the whole time.
forever rain by kimlinebiased
angst with happy ending | fluff | misunderstandings | implied smut | poly | oneshot
Summary: Namjoon made a big mistake six months ago and has been hiding from the confrontation he knew would result. The rain can’t hide him forever.
@httpangelicjimin said: i found this gem when i should've already been asleep. what draw me in where how beautifully the first few lines were written. i got so emerged in the story and with plot that i couldn't contain myself. i would love to see a second part of this~ oh, and i recommend that you read it while listening to forever rain. you will cry a lot like i did but smile in the end. The rain had finally stopped.
how to talk to other humans (and other valuable life skills) by drawingspaces
fluff | smut | angst | single parent au | completed series
Summary: If love is a word, let it be a song. People rarely get a second chance at growing up. Somehow, Jeongguk lucks out.
@hoeuseok said: taekook meet as a student/prof but their relationship doesn’t start until well after that’s over but just in case that makes any one uncomfortable, series. tbh i didn’t know how i’d feel about single dad jungkook but wow did this author pull it off. the characters and their growth in this fic are so beautiful. jungkook trying his absolute best to be a good dad and feeling like he’s falling short and taehyungs endless patience and understanding through it all. just phenomenal writing. this fic wrapped me in a warm blanket and told me it loved me and my flaws.
i like us like this by tendershipping
nsfw | smut | light angst | soulmates | camboy au | BDSM | completed series
Summary: Camboy Jimin’s usual playmate cancels on him for an upcoming livestream. Roommate Taehyung volunteers as tribute.
@joopiterjoon said: Jimin needs a sub (pun intended) for his camboy anniversary filming. Best friend Taehyung jumps in to save the day and so much more. I LOVE this series for so much more than the smut. The author focuses a lot on the bond creation and responsibility of a dom even though this is told from the sub (Taehyung's) perspective. There is such a strong emotional connection between these two that is only amplified by the discussions of safety and trust exercises, and the descriptions of Taehyung enjoying being a sub are written so naturally. This is really soft despite the plot content!
kiss me hard before you go by 77735
childhood friends to lovers | roommates | fluff | oneshot
Summary: yoongi and hoseok are childhood friends who live in a terrible apartment with min holly. they are also in love with each other. and bad at context clues.
@j-sope said: listen. hear me out. i wasn't gonna read a sope fic this month because i wanna explore other pairings more. BUT. this fic. i'm crying first of all the flow of it is insane, repeating certain words here and there is just wow (okay i'm seeing it implemented for the first time now and roy peter clark would probably scold me but it was genius). you sort of just fall in love with their friendship and their shitty apartment from the very beginning and THEN of course the fact that they're in love but are being total dumbasses. okay why am i spoiling the fic lmao, the point is. there's not much more than kissing going on for the most part but it feels like the most intense, wonderful, beautiful thing and i'm here for it okay. i love sope so much (and yoongi you perfect dumbass hobi would never leave you istg) i did feel like crying at one point which just shows that it's a good fic. you feel stuff. and you also smile like a dork the whole time, like i did. 10/10 would recommend (also ot7 moments are hilarious as always) ahhhh i love them!
Shipwreck by Anonymus
angst | fluff | smut | completed series
Summary: Taehyung is a scientist who goes to one of the last remaining forests that have werewolves hoping to study them and understand their morphology to better medicines for humans in the city. Alternatively, Taehyung loves his job but falls in love with Jungkook, the heir of the largest remaining werewolf clan.
@absoluteyoongit said: This fic is tarzan meets werewolves. I love this taekook fic and how two opposites slowly fall in love with each other. Plus I am a sucker for werewolf/mate type stories and this one just makes me so happy
SFW | SM AU
None this month
NSFW | SM AU
Dick Picturesque by pornographicpenguin
smut | angst | multi-chapter
Summary: youre pretty cute tho
also why were u sendin some dude who u never texted before nudes
that’s like
a really bad idea
u shold be smarter
i’m drunk
@megahwn said: I go back to this smau ALL the time, it's so raw and real and reminds me of deep conversations I've had with strangers in my own lifetime. The banter is funny, the smut is sexy and sweet at the same time, and the ending is so satisfying to read. 10/10 would recommend!

2020 Creator Wrap
Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
(Thank you for the tag @convenientalias, @rain-hat! 💗 And at least one other person I’m forgetting, I think- I’m sorry! 😅)
I wrote one thing (questionably) worthy of posting in an afternoon, eight years ago... and then this year happened! Ao3 tells me I’ve written 265,911 words this year (and I have another ~22k in WIP purgatory...) So that happened?
the world in your eyes (Goblin : Grim Reaper + photos - July) - I watched Goblin through the end of episode 11, deliberately paused, and wrote this ‘perspective’ fic because I wanted to capture what and how the Reaper was before I knew anything else (and I knew I wouldn’t be able to go back to that old headspace, after). It remains one of the most unintentionally funny things I’ve ever written, to me, because the very next episode revealed a major twist about a side character that changed parts of the tone-- I had no idea when writing it, but it still works imo. haha
Entanglement (The King: Eternal Monarch : Lee Gon + about 15 others’ works + quantum mechanics- July) - Everyone who I drug into this (without asking for permission) was much kinder than I deserved. Because I couldn’t just go leave comments like a normal person. This led to my meeting a bunch of A+++ folks on Tumblr, though! Despite studying others style, I still have not mastered workplace comic-drama as well as @sadviper; playful-yet-emotional-character-development as well as @drivingsideways; or anything/everything (but especially the mid-scene seamless perspective shift) as well as @rain-hat; really go read their fics instead.
(Still irked that the best thing this show could think to do with time loops was not-very-bright doppelgangers and a flower seed metaphor that didn’t work. Come on.)
Messenger (My Country: New Age : Nam Seon-ho/Seo Hwi + AU Canon Divergence - July-September) - You ever watch a scene in a show or movie and it’s not even over yet but you’re like: “Come on!! That is NOT-” Nam Seon-ho should have noticed Hwi’s last arrow at Liaodong. That’s how Messenger was born, and then I entered into a dare with the lovely @staidwaters. “If you start writing your fic, I’ll start mine...” The last chapter, especially the friendship between Nam Seon-ho and Hwang Sung-rok, remain one of my favorite things I’ve ever written-- it feels like pure sunshine to me. 🌞
The Beginning is the End is the Beginning (My Country: New Age : Yi Bang-won + Post-Canon - August) - I free handwrote this in about 3 hours, then cleaned it up and sat on it for a couple weeks because everyone else in fandom seems to kinda like Bang-won, generally, and I didn’t want to harsh anyone’s fun by posting. But I stand by it, and (sorry not sorry) this is closer to the version of the character in my head. Absolute power and the patriarchy are not cute, to the oppressed.
the wind, the flood, and the flame (The Untamed : Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian + Post-Canon / AU-ish - January; written Oct-Jan) - In late 2019, I was in a bit of a funk. I remembered I used to noodle around with writing fic. But after years of short memos and emails for work, I was suddenly afraid I’d lost the ability to write anything long-form worth a damn. So I launched into a “slight” re-write of the ending of The Untamed, and over 100k later...
I put a lot of things that felt like risks into this, and a lot of personal things I wanted to see for the characters, philosophically & emotionally, too. I have no idea if it really works. In the larger scope of that humongous fandom, this has done tiny numbers so maybe not. The readers who have taken a chance on it and left comments are the utter best, though.
Occasionally, it will pick up a new reader who will 'yell’ at me about the plot twist -- which always makes my day. (If you commit and want the full experience, don’t open the comments.)
I feel really awkward talking about my own writing so much, but thank you for the opportunity! (Maybe I’ll start a rec tag-game thread next-- that would be fun too!)
I think I’m late to the party on this, but I’m tagging @sadviper and anyone else in my mutuals who wants to... I love reading meta about others’ works! 😃
