#I get it they have more/cooler history but that doesn't mean your fave from a completely different house has anything to do with them

[fromtheseventhhell]

The day people stop comparing Aegon/Rhaenys/Visenya to Jon/Arya/Sansa is the day I'll know peace. People hate Daenerys (and house Targaryen by extension) but then always want to steal from her story to uplift their faves. It's past the point of being pathetic 🙄

#daenerys targaryen #pro daenerys targaryen #house targaryen #anti sansa stans #jonsas too #cause they're the main ones who do this #I hate how Arya and Jon are brought into this nonsense when the majority of the people saying this don't give a fuck about them #the obsession with hating Targaryens and then stealing from them is crazy #I get it they have more/cooler history but that doesn't mean your fave from a completely different house has anything to do with them #the targs are evil nasty colonizers...but also look at these parallels they have with my fave lol #this also applies to that specific brand of reddit Jon stan who acts like Jon is the /good/ targaryen and Dany is just a placeholder #I saw this most when the show was airing but I'm seeing a resurgence now #Just another case of people thinking something is evil when it's associated with Dany but good if it's with anybody else #saw someone say that the /direwolf has three heads/ give me a break #the same for people who do this with Stannis and Renly too!!!!!

✩ The Foxing Ring by @vukovich [E, 22k]

Harry's got no magic, one good ear, no great dating prospects, and a nice little wand workshop. Draco's got too much magic, a history of biting off ears, no great dating prospects, and a growing fondness for wandmakers. And a very fetching tail.

why i rec this: this is exactly the kind of fluff i love, and with the absolutely unique details vuk always brings to the table! draco is such a compelling character, and harry is just doing his best and the way they fall into each other is lovely. since i personally can’t read a lot of the subjects vuk writes i am SO glad to have this lovely story full of her incredible talent to sink back into again and again and again :’)

✩ The Lesson of You by thecouchsofa [E, 65k]

Harry likes kids. That doesn't mean he's ready for a small boy to turn up on the doorstep of Grimmauld Place insisting that Harry is his father. That was weird enough, but the child identifying Draco Malfoy as his other parent was something Harry had no bloody idea how to handle.

✩ i kinda wanna be more than friends by @bonesliketambourines [E, 6.9k] 🔥

Draco's managed to keep his feelings for his Auror partner tamped down neatly in a box at the back of his mind for years now. He's got everything under control, and he's able to handle out-of-town missions and Harry's overly-familiar brand of friendship with aplomb. That is, until a trip to the Lake District in pursuit of a wealthy smuggler and an ill-timed early wakeup call shatters the walls he's so carefully built for himself.

✩ Soot and Mirrors by @jalesidor [E, 6.4k] 🔥

Late at night in the DMLE locker rooms, Draco finds an injured Harry Potter requiring medical assistance.

Flutter by @shiftylinguini [E, 4.9k] 🔥

Being back at Hogwarts is not what Harry expected, and neither is what’s going on between himself and Malfoy, but it feels good, and that? Well, that’s what Harry’s chasing this year.

✩ Darling, You’re Wiggling by me and @lou-isfake [T, 4.7k]

Draco has a secret. Harry doesn’t have a secret, until he does. Then he goes to Claire’s.

✩ Flying on Faith by @isamijoo [G, 3.3k]

The science spaceship Scorpius has an important weapon that can help the Federation win The War. Harry and his crew are tasked to protect this ship. But first, Harry wants to see the cargo.

Options by @mintamintathings [E, 2.6k] 🔥

Harry's looking for company; Draco fits the bill.

The Stars on the Calendar by @anaxandria-writes + @mystickitten42 [T, 2k]

Harry accepted there were many things he and Draco would always argue about. He just didn’t think sex would ever be one of them.

right here, all along by me [T, 1.4k]

Harry knows that none of Draco's boyfriends are good enough for him, because Harry knows Draco deserves the best. Surely one day Draco will find the perfect person, but until then, Harry just does his best.

emotional affair by me [M, 1.1k]

“I’ll pick you up from the Portkey office,” Harry says quietly, “when you come back.” Draco, still flushed pink, pointedly rolls away from Harry and off the bed. “It’s just three days, for work. It’s not a big deal.”

Broken by @celilasart [G, 1k]

The one where Harry returns to Hogwarts to get his NEWTs after the war and despite his best efforts to hide his mental and emotional state, someone unexpected realizes what's going on and sets out to help Harry.

✩ witching hour by @primavera-cerezos [E, 917 words] 🔥

Harry and Draco are awake at the witching hour.

✩ An Essay on the History of Unprincipled Desire by @onbeinganangel [E, 5.5k, Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood] 🔥

On My Knees: How a Career-Ending Injury Led to The Best Shag of My Life (First Draft, Final Title TBD), Oliver Wood, January 2009

✩ Boyfriend Dick by @fw00shy [E, 3.8k, Percy Weasley/Pansy Parkinson] 🔥

Percy was the Parkinson accountant. He had no business babysitting Pansy on her birthday yacht. Pansy was turning twenty-one. She was a bloody adult, and she was going to prove it to everyone by fucking the Weasley nerd.
