HD Sudsfest Week One
Tumblr media
It’s the first sudsy Sunday of November and you know what that means—our first weekly round up of 2022! Here at Suds HQ we have been absolutely blown away by the fantastic creations submitted. So if you haven’t had the chance to dip your toe into this year’s offerings, now’s your moment to jump in, the water’s fine! 🧼
[FIC] Under Giant Mountains by @wolfpants { E | 33.7k }
Harry doesn't know where he's going. Everyone else has their life paths figured out; he doesn't even know where his map is. Who'd have thought Draco Malfoy bathing in a Norwegian forest would be the guidepost Harry needed? In which Harry's trip to Norway to visit dragon-wrangler Ron introduces him to hikes from hell, mysterious natural magic, foraging, magical bathing, a new and bizarre friendship, and the frustrating, heady allure of his former nemesis turned sexy globetrotting field researcher.
❤️ "this is so evocatively written; both the claustrophobia of grimmauld and the expanse of Norway, what amazing contrasts. I want to read this slowly to appreciate the gorgeous details!!! But I know I shall fail!!!" —citrusses
❤️ "God, I can’t even say how much I enjoyed following Harry’s journey throughout this. It was beautiful to see him finding his way, with help and on his own." —virgosun
[ART] Not Again by @caroll-in { M | Digital Comic }
Not allowed a wand and being on house arrest in Malfoy Manor which magic is acting up and won't provide any tap water is a challenge but Draco makes it work. He takes advantage of the summer weather and resorts to bathing in the small stream running through the estate. Everything would be peachy if only his parole Auror would stop timing his monthly probation visits while Draco is en déshabillé.
❤️ "I am WRIGGLING with joy. I love it! Draco's rosy little butt! And Harry's little peekaboo action! And their happy little faces in the last panel! And the scenery is gorgeous." —acari
❤️ "AHHHHHHH!!! OMG OMG OMG!! This is perfect 😭😭😭 you always slay me. I love it so much. Thank you for creating and sharing and giving us something so amazing." —nv-md
[FIC] The Re-Fenestration of Potter by @cavendishbutterfly and @sorrybutblog { E | 7.5k }
Harry wants the Prophet reporters to stop following him and Draco wants Harry to stop climbing through his window at all hours of the night…even if he’s taken to leaving it open, just in case. Everything is bearable until they both get doused with Draco’s latest batch of Wolfsbane, and then suddenly nothing between the two of them is bearable at all.
❤️ "Omg! This is wonderful! So hot and tender and lovely! And the ending. I was squealing in glee for them!" —melrilielen
❤️ "Wolfy Draco is my favourite Draco. Fun, fun, fun, and a perfect pick me up on a gloomy November evening ❤️" —oriberry
[FIC] After sunlit days, one thing stays the same by flightinflame { T | 2k }
Harry wakes up sore after a full moon. Luckily, Draco is beside him, and knows how to handle it.
❤️ "This was so so so incredibly lovely, you managed to fit into a short scene of intimacy so many unspoken words and feelings, I almost felt like I wasn’t supposed to have this glimpse into their lives because it was so private, so sweet. Great job 💜💜💜" —artcele
❤️ "This was absolutely amazing…it really feels like love - REAL love. And that can be tough to manage, especially in a fantasy setting." —coffee-scribbles
[ART] Rubber Drakey by @crazybutgood { T | Origami Comic }
Harry just wanted to indulge Teddy with a bath toy in the tub. Instead, his evening turns out to be filled with lots of bubbles, a frantic phone call, and an angry duck in a bucket.
❤️ "I adore rubber duck!draco with my whole beating heart. I want to squish him (gently) so much asdghjkl. Hope Harry at least got a few “accidental” squeezes in the process😂 Your origami art comic concept blew my mind btw, you have such a creative soul." —vivantesopales
❤️ "This is so gorgeous!!! Cbg your art is so amazing! I love all of this so much! And it's such a cute story hahahaha ducky draco!!!!! 💜 thanks so much for sharing this wonderful art with us! Love your origami so much. 😍" —teacup-tai
[FIC] The Art of the Bath by brit_girl /@drarrysworlds { M | 23k }
As Draco’s housemate, Harry thought him falling asleep in the bath just once after a long shift at St Mungo’s was once too many. Obviously, the best thing for Harry to do was to keep him company, even if it was at odd, post-Healer-shift hours. What could he say? He was nothing if not a good friend.
❤️ "I'm screaming. This was too perfect and too sweet and just exactly what I needed. This is EXACTLY how I see them, I couldn't have written them better myself. God, just all the feels happening here. If I could leave a million Kudos I would."—VictorieintheSmallThings
❤️ "so frickin sweet! and written absolutely beautifully 💛💛" —pansysimp
[FIC] Meet Me in the Daylight by @krethes { E | 6k }
The war has been over for more than twenty years, but despite becoming Head Healer at St Mungo's, the shadows of Draco's past remain in the memories of his contemporaries. A horrible confrontation at the hospital sends Draco right back into his old inner demons, but Harry is there to ward them away and remind Draco that he's not the boy he once was. 
❤️ obsessed with your drarry and with you and this was amazing and you’re amazing. also apple tart having nothing on *this* tart? snorted out loud hahah —keysie
❤️ "I saw Krethes in my inbox, and I was excited, as usual. THEN I saw that it was DRARRY and I RAN here to read this absolute gem of a fic. Bravo bravo bravo SO enjoyable, thank you for sharing this with us!!! ♥️♥️♥️" —booktopus
[FIC] Baby, Kiss It Better by @fuckboyregulus { E | 8k }
Harry has been avoiding his team’s athletic healer for five years now, but a broken ankle requires him to ask for help from his former boarding school enemy, Draco. Has Draco changed? Have Harry’s feelings about him?
❤️"Harry radiating pain under Draco's spell hurts my heart. So stubborn. Love the idea of the bubble ice bath with added rubber ducky. It's too cute. I was all 👀👀👀 at the description of Harry's tattoos and piercings. Very nice! Welcome to the wonderful world of Drarry!" —acari
❤️"What a fantastic ending to a sizzling fic! I loved this! And congrats on your first Drarry! Welcome! Suds is a wonderful way to get an introduction. It's lovely to have you, and I hope you write more of them! Lovely job with this! <3" —lqtraintracks
[ART] 1000 Kisses Deep by @getawayfox { T | Digital Art }
Harry keeps visiting Draco’s soap shop, trying – and failing – to ask him out for dinner. A few fruitless weeks and unnecessary amounts of soap purchases later, Harry finally gets the courage to say the words. Of course, with his luck, something entirely else slips out. Fortunately, Draco doesn’t seem to mind.
❤️ "In love with this world you created here. Gorgeous. My heart is so full, it's just… beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us 💖💖" —rockingrobin69
❤️ "I absolutely adore this!! 🥺🥰 I couldn’t have imagined it any better!! Thank you for creating this wonderful art!! 💕" —cluelesspigeons
[FIC] Phoenix in the Fire by @lqtraintracks { E | 28k }
Harry never expected to have a hot summer fling with Draco Malfoy when he agreed to mind the castle with him. He also never expected that it would all have to end on August thirty-first. What happens when casual sex with Harry’s ex-enemy turns not casual after all? And how the hell is he going to stop Draco from making one of the biggest mistakes of his life?
❤️ "I love everything about this fic! Long hair desi harry and tattoos draco are a couple of my favorite things in general. The story was hot, sweet, and heartbreaking, and then so happy. The conflicting emotions fro.Draco, the desperation, it was all so well written and I may have shed a few tears. Thank you for sharing!!" —sunflowergirl28
❤️ "This fic was sweet and fun and lovely and I love Draco’s tattoos. Also this Harry like 🔥🔥🔥 damn. Thank you thank you!!!" —embrichard

HD Sudsfest: Week Three
Tumblr media
Week Three of HD Sudsfest has ended, and once again we are bowled over by the quality of the brilliant bathing beauties we got to showcase.
If you haven't had the chance to catch up on all the sudsy goodness we posted this week, then here's our weekly roundup - dip a toe in and you'll see, the water's perfect!
[FIC] The Metamorphmagus Needs A Bath! by @aprofessionalprotagonist { T | 4k }
Despite doing their best to avoid each other, Draco and Harry are tasked with babysitting Teddy Lupin... together. That's not going to be awkward at all.
❤️You had me hooked from the first hilarious sentence! Draco's narration is so on point here... It's perfect! The last sentence is such a perfect ending too 🥰 Their banter is so sharp and cute throughout, and Teddy is freaking adorable!!! A true chaos monster 😈 Loved this, thanks for sharing! - InnerLilith
❤️adorable 🥺🥺 i found it so endearing how genuinely excited Teddy seemed to be to be with both of them and have “awesome boy time”!!! SO CUTE! you can just see them slowly getting softer and more comfortable with each other as time goes on! so lovely! thank you so much for writing and sharing 💛- onbeinganangel
[FIC] Possessed by @shah-writes { T | 9.1k }
“I think you’d be surprised, Harry, at how much of him is in me,” he says, changing the subject again. Harry scoffs. “Isn’t it the other way around?” “I think I’m evolving,” he whispers. “I feel every memory, every emotion as if it is my own. Maybe it is my own. The line begins to blur. When you are surrounded, overwhelmed with someone else’s thoughts and perceptions, at what point do they become yours?” — tldr; a sentient curse possesses Draco, leading to a whole lot of Auror action, magical theory, and baths! ft. draco malfoy being smart, a rubber duck, and ron weasley being the love of my life.
❤️omg, i could not put this fic down!! the concepts of the curse and the IO and antibodies were so gripping, and the walls between the IO and draco blurring so the IO falls in love with harry ... what an incredible fic! this line at the end absolutely gave me chills: "I have a ravenous will to live. And you will not stop me from feasting." shah, you continue to amaze me with how creative and unique your fics are. thank you for sharing this one!! - corvuscrowned
❤️Ahhhhhh!!!!! This is such an incredible fic! The world building is so excellent and compelling, and then your writing is so visceral, I felt Harry’s desperation and drive and fear, all underlaid by how deeply he cares for Draco!! I also loved how you tied in this wildly creative sentient curse with canon - iota
[FIC] Or Else a Scar by @rain-beee { T | 4k }
Harry shows up on Draco's doorstep, injured and nearly unconscious. As Draco does his best to fix him, he's reminded of another time he had to wash blood off of his hands.
❤️ This is brilliant!! Its so well written and I think you just get their characters perfectly!! Loved reading Draco's POV about sixth year and how much Harry means to him! Loved that Harry kept coming to him, I think that's very Harry James Potter! This was brilliant, thank you - jawgee
❤️This fic is amazing. I just found it for the first time tonight, but I know I will be rereading it many times from now on. Your writing is beautiful, and I am hereby adopting your description of the sectumsempra aftermath into my official headcanon. This is utterly incredible - WouldItWere
[FIC & ART] Steal/Keep by @shealwaysreads and @babooshkart { E | 4.6k, Digital Art }
The stealing was all Hermione’s idea, though Harry still doesn’t think anyone would believe him if he told them.
❤️Oh this was utterly FANTASTIC! I looooove that they're all criminals together and being gay and doing crime and giving the profit to those who really need it... I devoured this! I'm giddy over the two of you working together! Boo's art for this was INCREDIBLE and fit the vibe of the story PERFECTLY, and I was AGOG from the start. This was sharp and sexy and wonderful, the both of you! <333 - lq_traintracks
❤️Fuck-ing-hell. Just gorgeous. And Draco’s face in the first image, his expression is so pleased. The detail of the jewellery is wonderful. The second image is so hot my eyes melted and I’ll be sending you guys the bill for my replacement eyes - Moonflower_Rose
[FIC] to be a bit of warmth (for you) by @softlystarstruck { M | 9.3k }
As some of the only eighth years to return to Hogwarts, Harry doesn't know how he and Draco will manage to be roommates for a whole year without resorting to violence. But Draco is too quiet, and too thin, and wears layers of sweaters that he tucks over his fingers. So they fall into an unspoken routine, one that soothes Harry as much as it helps Draco, one that's so much easier than Harry thought it would be. Until it all falls apart, and Harry realizes he holds the world in his hands.
❤️This Draco is so soft (I love soft Draco) but also broken, and it made my heart ache. The way Harry reverently cares for Draco, heals him... The last scene in the bathtub is so beautiful and sensual. Intimate. I enjoyed every line. Thank you for such a wonderful fic!✨💙-moonlightmoth
❤️when i tell you i cried, you best believe it was the sideways sleeping, one eye leaking, painful cry because this was so bloody well written and hats off to the writers cause 👏👏👏👏... i could imagine every scene so vividly and thats down to brilliant writing and insane imagery. what im trying to say is... thank you, thank you for writing this publishing it and letting us read it cause its art, it truly is. thank you 💜- turtle
[FIC] Float by @shiftylinguini { E | 5k }
After a night out, Harry wakes up feeling like he slept on concrete, like his body's made of sand, like he accidentally pissed on his housemate the night before. Because he did accidentally piss on his housemate the night before.
❤️This is incredibleeeee 🥵😍 Their voices are perfect, it’s simultaneously so sweet and hot and funny and genuine. I love their dynamic ❤️ - CousinCecily
❤️okay look, LOOK.LISTEN. This was. LISTEN. I'm incoherent. LOOK. I LOVE THIS OKAY? I can't even-- This is. WOAH. You ...it's so hard to write about this kink, right, and you did it so beautifully. I'm absolutely amazed. Everything about it was perfect... I love your Draco. He's so cool and controlled, and respectful! It's the sweetest thing... And...the bathroom scene was so HOT but also sensual, I don't know how to explain? It was perfect. I'm repeating myself but I can't help it. It was everything I needed and more. And, I want this comment to be some more 10000 kudos. I crave this universe fully now. I love you. Like, thank you. WOW. - MarchnoGirl
[FIC] A Portrait of Recovery by @moonstruckwytch { M | 5k } for@the-starryknight
Since he was attacked and nearly drowned in the tub, Draco’s been struggling. He can hardly be in a bathroom or take a shower, never mind a bath. It feels like his life has fallen apart. Harry’s there to help though, and he’s not going anywhere, no matter how long it takes. A story about love and healing.
❤️Oh, this is so soft and lovely and wonderful ❤️❤️❤️ I could almost physically feel Harry's warm embrace at the end there, the descriptions were so sensorial ❤️- OTPshipper98
❤️This was so gorgeously soothing. I love the way you've crafted this story of healing and care, composed through Harry's gentleness and Draco's understandable anxieties. Your Harry is compassionate and careful, understanding and so, so loving, and his patience -- with Draco's anxiety, with holding back his feelings for Draco -- was so beautifully constructed. I love the way you write about Draco's panic, I could feel it bubbling up anxiously in my own chest when you did, which of course made Harry's gentleness feel even warmer. All the beautiful details you incorporated into this fic -- from the Tate to the scones to the smell of Draco's shampoo -- made the story feel vibrant and alive. Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous piece - thestarryknight
[FIC] and i’ll piece you back together with my bare hands (and you’ll kiss the cuts your sharp edges make) by Helpneedmorefanfics / @zarnzarn for Lyssaroses { M | 5.5k }
Draco reaches over and flicks him on the nose. Harry bites his finger. "Don't be daft, Potter." He says, "I've spent years in possession of a mirror. I'm not one to be swayed by cheap imitations of beauty and attraction through pheromones and magic after so long of having to see true beauty." Harry is giggling maniacally by the end of his sentence, making ripples of mirth in the hazy bathwater. Draco smiles. "I have butterfly wings, Draco," His husband protests, although his hands stop shaking. "I look like a bug." "A very pretty bug," Draco agrees seriously, and gets splashed by bathwater for it.
❤️Loved all of the research you did! It was so cool to have such a unique take on the Veela heritage and I always love when Harry is a Veela. Great work!!! Thank you for sharing it with us 😍 - ANW815
❤️Wow, this was such a creative and fabulous take on a Veela fic! I absolutely loved the way the creature heritage manifested itself - your descriptions were so vivid and immediate, I could picture everyone so clearly. It was so uncanny and compelling how you described Harry in particular - and Draco's worshipful feelings when he saw his transformed husband. Your side characters were absolutely brilliant too - every one had such a distinct and characterful voice, and I loved the group dynamic and the way you wove it into the lovely, romantic, yet funny established relationship - tackytiger
[FIC] everything i need i get from you (and giving back is all i wanna do) by @phoebe-delia for Helpneedmorefanfics / @zarnzarn { M | 1.1k }
Revenge wouldn’t undo years of abuse—nothing could. But as Harry’s boyfriend, and a recipient of his forgiveness, Draco could do his best to make Harry’s life as full of love and happiness as possible.
❤️This was so lovely 😭😭 Draco taking care of Harry like that is everything to me! The interactions between them were so wonderful, the bit where Harry was suddenly hesitant and Draco called him on it = perfection, the soft massage and baths around the world and the tenderness in taking care of all the tiny details 🥺🥺🥺 Just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!! Thank you so much for writing and sharing this fic. It touched my heart 💖- RockingRobin_69
❤️This was lovely!!!! I adored Draco taking care of Harry!! The thought of trying different bathing rituals from around the world was so sweet. I always love it when Draco hates the Dursley’s as much as me 😂 fantastic work!!!! - ANW815
[FIC] Maelstrom, the water told me by @onbeinganangel { E | 11.1k }
Maelstrom (noun, /ˈmeɪl.strɒm/, from the Dutch maalstroom): 1. a large powerful whirlpool 2. a turbulent tidal current 3. an agitated and/or confusing situation or state of mind 4. a magical core disturbance occurring on an adult, not directly caused by trauma
❤️This story was somehow heartbreaking, healing, and rejuvenating all in one. Thank you for writing this, it was so beautiful <3 - written_in_ash
❤️Really gorgeous. I adore the POV and the depth of Draco's love and commitment - RoseHarperMaxwell
[FIC] Arches by @sky-is-torn / Ludicrous { T | 12k } for @the-starryknight
If a magic room is full of flames, is it really burning?
❤️Wow, wow, wow, I am just floored. This fic is brilliantly written, every word so thoughtfully crafted to build this stunning atmospheric... Almost ethereal quality? I loved the experience of reading it, and it really did feel like an experience, I was so enraptured with your prose I found myself totally lost in the story, the eerie way of shifting realities so subtly and so thoughtfully... It was brilliantly done! I loved the little nods to canon towards the end, this bit of meta made the whole destabilizing sense of the world shifting around feel incredible to read. And the details of this... oh I was on the edge of my seat - thestarryknight
❤️Wow!!! The magical theory in this whole fic was amazing!!! It’s such a Harry move to rush into danger without care for the consequences. I adored the connection between him and Draco and the different ways Draco could see him. The development of their friendship and then romance was so natural and it felt so tender. I loved the ending, perfect!!! A truly superb fic!!! -ANW815
[FIC] The Abandoned Bathroom by @cluelesspigeons { T | 3k }
Draco comes home after a long shift in St. Mungo’s, craving a warm soak in the bathtub Harry usually has ready for him. This time when Draco opens the bathroom door, the tub is ready but Harry’s nowhere to be found.
❤️I am so wholly obsessed with the idea of tender cat dad Draco - and how this tenderness and fondness suffuses the whole mood of the fic, and extends to his relationship with Harry. It is so sweet how exasperated he is with Harry, yet how it's clear that it's all a cover for the softest sweetest husbandly love! The idea of something feeling unfinished or unsatisfying unless he had Harry with him felt very romantic here, and was a lovely little nod to their canonical obsession with each other! Thank you so much for sharing such a charming, delightful fic - tackytiger
❤️This is amazing! I love how Draco is adorable being anxious about Harry but then doesn't care but still misses him anyway 🥺 Good job, you did so well! I love the story ❤️- Nelween

HD Sudsfest: Week Two
Tumblr media
Here at Suds Towers we can hardly believe that we're already two weeks into the fest. It just goes to show, time flies when you're getting to showcase such a wealth of amazing fics and fantastic art!
There's surely something for every Drarry fan to enjoy here, so please get yourself nice and soapy, and slither into the warm bath of our second weekly round-up.
[FIC] Tastes Like Soap by InnerLilith for @evaeleanor { E | 4.6k }
Harry goes to the foam party hoping to finally have casual sex. Draco goes to the foam party expecting yet another night of casual sex. Harry and Draco do not have casual sex.
❤️ You’ve created such a great atmosphere in the club and in Draco’s flat too, and the continuity of bubbles—first as a kind of orgiastic group sensation, and then as this intimate expression of Harry’s emotions as he and Draco are brought together in this new and unexpected way—is just genius. —shealwaysreads
❤️ Agdhfkglglgl oh I loved this. The songs in the club made me cackle, the banter between Harry and Draco felt spot on, and once Draco took Harry home there was so much lovely tenderness. —cavendishbutterfly
[ART] something in the water by @helle-bored / hellebored for @the-starryknight { T | Digital Comic }
Draco came back from a work trip different, and now Harry's seeing things in the bathwater. Is there something -- someone -- following him? Is there any way to escape it? Can he save Draco (and himself) before it gets them?
❤️ AHHHH i love it so muchhhh. it turned out so perfectly. the way they are looking at each other but the spooky sinister we know is there AHH. the colors are amazing and the details are stunning. every little line is perfection. —apr1cots
❤️ I am constantly just 😱😱😱 at this art. This is amazing and it completely threw me off my chair when I scrolled down and see the other!draco in the water. It sent chills down my back. —bluebutter
[FIC] dive (and have no fear) by@callmegri /callmegri for @softlystarstruck { T | 4.6k }
Draco Malfoy loves baths, but has no access to bathtubs. Harry Potter loves his friends, and has many of said bathtubs. It makes perfect sense to call Draco over to have a bath. ...Right?
❤️ I absolutely adored this journey for them!!! Their friendship and then the realization of their feelings was perfect. I’m so impressed by the art as well! What a phenomenal work!!!! —ANW815
❤️ The tenderness and the warmth and the LOVE. The pining - GOD, the PINING, I'm just, 😭😍 The art - beautiful, wonderful, glorious. —rockingrobin_69
[FIC] intricate rituals, lovingly shared by@glitteringvoids / glitteringvoid { T | 5k }
Harry doesn't like baths. The Dursleys didn't care to make the experience pleasant. Draco though, Draco cares.
❤️ this was so loving and soft, I loved how supportive draco was and how they still bantered with each other while talking about more difficult topics —beforeeternity
❤️ This is such a soft and warm journey, I loved it—Draco so wants this experience for Harry, because he loves him and he wants good things for him—and the way you handled Harry’s reticence and reasons for not liking baths just sets the entire final scene into the tenderest sort of courage. Just gorgeous —shealwaysreads
[FIC] Wonderful Electric (cover me in you) by @lqtraintracks / lq_traintracks { E | 10.9k }
You have to get dirty before you get clean. Or: They’re not fucking, not even dating. Draco hasn’t even decided if he likes Potter yet, but… He likes watching him piss. A lot. Probably too much. Or: Harry and Draco spend a good deal of time getting to know one another better in bathrooms.
❤️ LISTEN FIRST OF ALL HOW DARE YOU SECOND OF ALL HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME THIRD OF ALL WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT. I GOT TURNED ON, THEN I CRIED, I’M IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION. I’M SORRY FOR YELLING BUT OH MY GOD —moonflower_rose
❤️ This is blistering, relentless poetry. I stopped breathing and had to reread it three times before I could go on, and I think the image is going to echo in my mind for days. —julcheninred
[FIC & ART] you look like you know what to do by@thelanguidcat / thelanguidcat { E | 450, Digital Art }
Draco feels, entirely too content. Something like warmth unfurling inside at Harry’s glasses on the bedside table, both their clothes on the floor.
❤️ Beautifully done! I love this glimpse of them, the sexiness, the new romance, the development of feelings. The art was absolutely lovely as well! <3 —lqtraintracks
❤️ i love their expressions, they are obviously soooooo smitten for one another! and your gorgeous ficlet to go with it! beautiful turn of phrase after beautiful turn of phrase! incredible —onbeinganangel
[FIC] Draco’s Idiot-Proof Plan for Harry’s Hairy Problem by @nv-md / ANW815 for Helpneedmorefanfics { E | 3.3k }
Harry's always had issues with his hair, but he never would have guessed that asking for a simple haircut would one day involve being kidnapped by Draco Malfoy, thirty-seven (possibly poisonous) shampoos, and a blowjob.
❤️ Ahhhh! This is so brilliant! It has all of the trademarks of an Ali fic, scorching smut, sharp banter, humor that makes me screech, and ofc a lovely base of love. —pineau_noir
❤️ There are so many things I want to scream at you about this fic - it made me cry-laugh, Harry and Draco's voices were perfect, the setting of the bathroom was masterful. —academicdisaster
[FIC] Happy Anniversary by @starlightspark / sunflake { T | 1.4k }
For HD Sudsfest Prompt #48: Harry takes baths in secret. Draco pretends not to notice.
❤️ this was so gorgeous!!! i loved the direction you took this prompt in - it was so heartbreaking, so tender. draco's speech felt imbued with love —shal
❤️ This was both unexpected and breathtaking, and I love your bold creativity and your Draco! His voice is so full of wonder, mirth, tenderness and personality. —sitp-recs
[FIC] Playing Dirty by @sweet-s0rr0w/ sweet_s0rr0w { E | 8.5k } for @lqtraintracks
As punishment for screwing up yet another mission, and with their magic going haywire, new partners Potter and Malfoy are sent to clean the Auror locker room, the Muggle way. Will they make it out alive? Does Malfoy ever work out how to use a sponge? Do they actually even hate each other, or is it all just misconstrued sexual tension? How long until they accidentally end up naked? For answers to all these questions and more, read on…
❤️ HELP this was BRILLIANT!! All the little details were perfect, from Robards giving them the silent treatment in the first scene to the random mess of things from Poundland... I loved every moment —InnerLilith
❤️ I loved this so much. You’re writing is fabulous and I love the all the uncontrolled, chaotic magic between the two of them, how it’s the magic that draws them together and forces to them to realize the desire between them. —whatsmyline
[ART] The Next Morning, Malfoy Manor by@gryffindorhearts /gryffindorhearts { M | Digital Art }
Auror training has been exhausting, to say the least, and Harry's gotten tired of making do in the tiny Ministry shower cubicles after the daily drills. He's going to prove to Draco that taking him home was the best idea either of them has ever had.
❤️ This is not only super hot but also incredibly beautiful. I love how it's so very clear what's going on, yet there's still enough left unsaid for the viewer imagine the backstory. —nerdherderette
❤️ I JUST MADE A VERY LOUD HIGH-PITCHED NOISE 😂 this is amazing!!! Gorgeously drawn and sexy AF —phd-mama
[ART] Amor Purificat by@julcheninred &@m4g0rtz / julchen_in_red & m4g0rtz { T | paper, vellum, embroidery }
The Room of Requirement has been infested with uncontrolled Fiendfyre for five years. Scores of experts around the world have refused to try to extinguish it, unwilling to gamble and fail. The Fiendfyre long ago ran out of objects to consume, and Hogwarts itself is now showing signs of magical and structural deterioration. An attempt simply must be made, lest the Fiendfyre destroy Hogwarts and escape into the world outside. Professors Potter and Malfoy, despite their youth, are believed to share the requisite power and emotional bond. Shortly after the battle begins, the Fiendfyre lunges at Harry, shattering his spell. Draco sustains the spell that will save them.
❤️ Oh gosh, this is so wonderful! I continue to be blown away by how beautifully you manage to capture things with paper, and the detail and sense of whimsy is just wonderful! —gracerene
❤️ W.O.W. I'm speechless. You're both incredible and I'm in awe. I love everything about this, incl the cute butts. Absolutely stunning —magpie_fngrl
[FIC] A Grey Shrike Alighted upon my Wishbone by@opalesqueopioid / opalesqueopiod for @prolix- { E | 6.9k }
Cursed to forget everything about Harry Potter, Draco has to kill if he wants a cure. “J’existe,” I said, more to myself than him. A simple word: j’existe. How presumptuously it slipped past my teeth, assuming, in the way Boggarts did the hard shape of a truth. "I know,” Harry said between slurred kisses, half-awake on my cheeks. “I know.”
❤️ wow, this fic is so gorgeous! your prose is incredible and makes reading from Draco's perspective really beautiful and especially heartbreaking. —iota
❤️ Oh, wow. Wow. I had to sit back for a long moment as I finished reading this piece just to luxuriate in the intensity of emotion you've crafted here. Your prose is so stunning, and your way of seeing straight to the heart of these characters... my god, I feel wrecked just from reading it. Wow. —thestarryknight
