What do you think a relationship between Lord Voldemort and Draco would be like? Would it be very different if it were Tom and Draco?

The age, experience and power dynamics make all the difference between the ships. I have no doubt Voldemort could trample a young Tom psychologically and physically just based on his experience alone. Imagine what he would do to poor little Draco 😂

I think it would be VERY different. Taco are on pretty equal footing. Tom might have magical might, charm and the burgeoning respect of their peers; but Draco holds far more societal power—both through his money and his family's connections and influence. Draco has a depth and breadth of knowledge of the wizarding world that it would take Tom decades to develop (similar to Ron's knowledge vs Hermione's). Voldemort, in contrast, is very much established and doesn't really need Draco for anything.

Voldemort is also going to compare Draco to Lucius, favourably or (probably) unfavourably. Whether he knows Abraxas is up to writer interpretation, but I don't believe there's anything in canon that indicates any familiarity. They could very well have no Hogwarts overlap at all. We know that Lucius rose very high at a very young age in Voldemort's army. Voldemort's treatment of Draco in canon is all about Lucius—humiliating, emasculating and punishing him for his betrayal. For Dracomort to ever stand on its own feet, Draco would need to forge an identity separate from Lucius, and Voldemort would need to see that.

Of course, the easiest way to write Dracomort is horny old rapey sadist gets emotionally attached 😂. Of all of the crossgen Voldemort ships, Dracomort is the easiest to write canon compliant because they... live together. Not writing it as dubcon (at least) is borderline impossible, so might as well go all in. I don't personally see Tom|Vee as particularly interested in sex though so that's my main struggle w/ writing him as a sex pest.

Part of the challenge is that while Draco does have some traits that Voldemort would value, he's far too scared of Voldemort to ever show his better traits around him.

I always think of Taco as not a 'destined in the stars' ship but rather a 'right place, right time' ship. Sure, there are other people they would be compatible with, but this is the love that they found and made work. Perhaps some might consider that cynical but I think realism is romantic. Now, 'right place, right time' makes Dracomort challenging since 'in the middle of the war with a 50 year age gap' does not necessarily meet that criteria hahaha.

#is noncon-to-love the most likely way dracomort would work? uhhh maybe yeah 😬 #asks #anon

3 and/or 30 for the ao3 wrapped?

ao3 wrapped [writers edition]

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

two favourites might be Heritage (dracomort) and Violets Are Blue (al/delphi). with characters i don't write as often, i think there's more opportunity to craft some unique dynamics and situations. this is something maybe i should try and revisit for 2024 👀

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

how much less i wrote than i have in past years 😭 and not finishing any major WIPs 😭

in all seriousness i think i'm surprised that i wrote less crack this year! i think i must've misplaced my funny bone somewhere... time to go dig it up again

#asks #mosiva #ask games #thank youuu 🥰💗

My husband and I stay up way too late thinking up ridiculous Harry Potter AUs. This was last night’s:

Sometime before first year, Harry’s scar-Horcrux manages to possess him like the diary did Ginny. Harrymort.

Young Draco goes poking around in stuff he’s not supposed to touch and finds the diary. Dracomort.

Fred and George find the room of lost things and take things home to experiment on. They can tell the diadem has some unknown power, so of course they test it on Ron. Ronmort.

Hermione lives in the town near the Gaunt family home. She’s an intrepid explorer and checks out the haunted house. Sensing an easy-to-possess magical body, the ring rolls to her feet. She puts it on. Hermionemort.

After a ten year lawsuit, Neville gets possession of Bellatrix’s Gringotts vault. He finds the cup. Nevillemort.

They all meet up on the train and head to school, where, of course, Quirrellmort is waiting.

I have no idea what happens next, but I want to read it. Please tell me it exists?

Now fifteen Draco ships: Drastoria, Drapple, Drarry, Dramione, Drinny, Dron, Dransy, Dracombridge, Drazkaban, Dracomentor, Dradge, Dracomort, Drairon, Draville and Druna??

I don’t care about M*lfoy; Drastoria is fine because we got Scorpius out of it, but most of the others I don’t care for.

Except the full redemption from tom point what according to you is the main difference between tomarry and taco ?

The main difference is that one of them is a crack ship and the other one isn't.

Jokes, but actually it is true. Harry and Voldemort are the hero and villain, protagonist and antagonist, etc. Not only are they enemies, they're fated enemies. Harry carries around a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head for seventeen years; Voldemort spends seven years fixated on killing Harry; Harry learns everything he can about Tom Riddle; Voldemort killed Harry's parents (hot 🥵) etc. etc.

Draco holds a very different role in the narrative. Instead of hero or villain, he is very much positioned as a representation of pureblood wizards as a whole—their bigotry, privilege, cruelty and elitism. He's the youngest Death Eater, sure, and perhaps the only Death Eater of his generation, but recruiting teenagers is hardly a new game for Voldemort and in this case has more to do with Voldemort's anger at Lucius than with Draco himself.

Despite Tom and Draco both being Slytherins with similar views on Muggles, they're far closer to polar opposites than Tom and Harry. Tom was raised in poverty by Muggles in a group home with no knowledge of his magic; Draco was a coddled wealthy only child raised by magical people with little if any exposure to Muggles. Draco grew up in a sprawling manor home in Wiltshire, Tom grew up in the most populated city in England (country mouse, city mouse 🐭).

Harry and Tom start from similar positions and diverge. Draco comes in on the opposite side of the map to both of them. He's far closer to what Tom wants to be than who he was born as. Harry can bring counterarguments to the table that Tom can't dismiss because Harry has also seen some of the worst Muggles have to offer and yet still has no hate for them. Draco, raised in his safe, sheltered, Muggle-free home can never raise any sort of ethical argument that Tom will respect because he has no lived experience.

However, these similar upbringings might actually stifle Tom and Harry in a relationship. Harry doesn't experience unconditional love (that he remembers) till the age of eleven. Tom never experiences it. They're both majorly emotionally stunted and dating each other would not help that 😂. Maybe this is part of the appeal, but it's certainly going to be difference between Taco and Tomarry. I can see Harry as the 'heart' of his relationship with Tom, but only in an ethical sense, not an emotional one. Just... go read the Madam Puddifoot date scene with Cho.

Side note, there's also an interesting indirect-grooming element to Taco which I noticed the first time I wrote the ship. Harry has grown up in a world where he didn't even hear Voldemort's name till he was eleven years old. In contrast, Draco grew up at the heart of the cult. Draco might have tolerance for Tom's behaviour or share views with him not because of his nature or even normal pureblood attitudes, but because all of his family and friends' parents are Death Eaters. Imagine the mindfuck of every adult male role model in your life carrying the Dark Mark. I think it adds a fascinating dimension to their relationship in a time travel context.

#one of them is a crackship and the other one is taco 😎 #asks #anon #ham tacos #another difference is that u can write canon compliant dracomort but not harrymort #this is kind of incoherent sorry #tomdraco #tomarry
