FANFICTION
I sometimes wonder why I’m so unhinged, but then I remember that I started reading fanfiction when I was 12 years old.

for the ask ship game: drastoria, jeddy and romione
Tumblr media
romione: i feel like i shouldnt even talk and let the books do the talking for me. the slowburn was ferocious. the relationship building ate every other hp couple up. with each installation the verse puts out that includes them in it they’re even more in love. it makes me want to rip my hair out that so much romione content is sidelined for other ships and only exist as a side pairing to other ships. ron is so clearly the only one who makes sense for hermione and vice versa hermione to ron. i have never seen a good argument from a romione anti about why they shouldn’t be together or how they would not work out realistically. i can chalk every argument up to classism, a critique of ron’s portrayal in the movies, or a misunderstanding of character flaws that are exacerbated by PUBERTY and the general emotional instability of an average teenager. you look me in the eye and tell me you have never tweaked out when you were teenager. you look me in the eye and tell me that having magic wouldnt make that worse. i’ve actually already made an essay-long post about romione so lets not even get me started on it LOL
drastoria: i’ve already screamed about my reasons here.
jeddy: jeddy is hard because teddy and james sirius are mostly fanon so it’s difficult to ascertain whether they would make sense or not based on personality. we basically know nothing about teddy’s personality and get a handful of lines from james in the cursed child. they seem both to have a rebellious side— james opting to disobey his parents to have a good laugh and the rita skeeter article written about teddy at the quidditch world cup final (which could have been complete slander knowing skeeter) but from what little we do know— teddy is very close with the potter family (lily basically calls him family), presumably since he was born or at least very young since they consider each other family. teddy is also six years older than james. going off that alone, if teddy was around when james was very young, or even when he was born, then no, jeddy doesn’t make sense. it would be a bit creepy, no? fanonly, i’m 50/50– i’ve read some pretty shit jeddy fics but it comes with the territory of liking scorbus so i have to suck it up 😭 but yeah, its a no from me.

I love it when other characters refer to James Sirius Potter as ‘Jamie’. Like his name is great and all and literally a ship name for your bi dad and gay godfather, Harry 🙄 but Jamie gives James Sirius an identity outside of being named after Harry’s parental figures; outside of the shadow of the saviour's son and his quidditch captain mum.
James Sirius has his father’s eyes and hair but has his mother’s freckles. Jamie has dyed his hair blue highlights and got an eyebrow piercing from a muggle piercing shop. Jamie likes art and music more than he likes quidditch. Jamie wants to be a musician but not like Celestina Warbeck, more like Mick Jagger from The Rolling Stones. Jamie prefers e-cigarettes rather than traditional ones, despite Teddy telling him it woud rarely make a difference when you’re burning your lungs away.
James Sirius gave Teddy handpicked flowers from Molly’s garden when they were small children. But Jamie gives Teddy a handmade onyx ring set on platinum.
“Don’t flatter yourself,” Jamie says. “I’m not proposing yet.”
Teddy laughs, hair turning fuchsia to match the flush on his cheeks. “Love you too, Jamie.”

Lord, I just filtered through the jeddy tag on Ao3 and it kinda looks like I really am the only person degenerate enough to write something this dead dove with them, I'm —
Like I had someone comment that they had trouble finding much angsty James centric fics and I was like "what no surely there are more" but nah.... nah it's just me who's fucked up ✌️😐
Anyway I'm gonna go back to giving Jamie a hard time, salvete.

banner created by the lovely @getawayfox 🥰
I absolutely adore short stories, and I thought I'd use the spotlight saturday concept to spread love for them as much as I can. I will try my best to make this a monthly thing,, sometimes more or less frequent. I hope you find some bite-sized bits of escapism to enjoy through these reclists. Today's features stories to curl up cosily with for a good laugh, some hurt/comfort, or softness—take your pick! And as always, please check the tags and author notes. Have a lovely weekend~
At The Top by @moonstruckwytch (Draco/Harry) (G) 
written for hdcandyheartsfest 2022 day two: first date
Sinking/Floating by @andithiel (Draco/Harry) (T, 966)
After the war, Harry once again dwells so much on dreams of the past and those he lost, that he forgets to live. Draco helps to remind him.
For All You Give (I’ll Give it Back to You) by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (Harry/Ron/Hermione) (T, 7144)
A birthday, a beach cottage, a love confession (or two). All Harry can wonder is why it took him so long to figure this out.
Flushed with love and romance by toutcequonvuet (Draco/Harry) (M, 3011)
Harry has been eagerly anticipating the perfect proposal Draco is surely crafting. Nothing can put a plug on his excitement. When he finally gets it, he’s in for a surprise of the accidental (and hilarious) variety./Featuring: wordplay, bath bombs, and theoretically attractive plumbers
From Sunset to Star Rise by @schmem14 (Harry/Ron) (M, 7618)
Ron stops in his tracks, trembling from head to toe as he points his nose to the clear blue sky, feeling the autumn chill bite his fevered skin./He’s in love with Harry, and he only just realizes it./I have to conquer this is his first thought./I have to tell him is his second./But I’m afraid… lingers longest of all./Ron and Harry move to New England to get away from the aftermath of war, buy a cozy cabin in the woods, and fall in love under the stars of an autumn sky.
Dancing with our eyes closed by Patriceavril (Ginny/Luna) (T, 2517)
Ginny ditches the wedding and her stupid heels, expecting to drink her bottle of stolen champagne alone. When Luna appears, Ginny decides maybe she doesn't want to be alone after all.
Destination: Healing by @stargazing-enby (Draco/Harry) (T, 2027)
As much as he refused to think about it, the truth was something in Harry’s chest unravelled in those dawn-hued moments of quiet when his body was heavy against the bathroom door frame, the Cloak heavy on his shoulders, and his gaze heavier than any of the two on the rise and fall of Malfoy’s breathing.
bloom for me by dynazty (Pansy/Luna) (T, 824)
It was a flower garden. That’s what Luna told her.
Strict Essentials by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (Draco/Harry) (M, 3884)
Harry and Draco go shopping for a new kettle.
The List by @onbeinganangel (Remus/Sirius) (M, 1400)
A story where the to-do list is too long, the weather is terrible and Sirius is seriously trying his best not to have to leave the house.
Marshmallow Kisses by @samunderthelights (James Sirius/Teddy) (G, 889)
James has been working on a surprise for Teddy, but it doesn't go as planned.
Bind by @gallifrey1sburning (Gin/Luna) (T, 2088)
Gin's binder is beginning to affect their career. Pansy's still struggling to figure out how to support her partner through their dysphoria, but she's learning.
The Music of the Stars by @gallifrey1sburning (Draco/Harry) (G, 556)
“It’s almost like music, isn’t it?” Draco looked down to catch Harry’s eye, seemingly unperturbed to find him staring, and Harry wondered if he’d known all along./“What is?”/“All of this. The sea, the wind, the stars.”/Harry laughed. “The stars don’t make noise, you weirdo.”/“They do,” Draco argued. “You just have to know how to listen.”
Beneath the Wisteria by @thealmostrhetoricalquestion (Draco & Scorpius, Albus Severus/Scorpius) (G, 2589)
Scorpius likes the wisteria best of all. He likes the pretty colours and the way the petals fall like rain, and he likes when Draco lifts him up to push his small fingers through the heaps of flowers. It’s Draco’s favourite too, so he sits with Scorpius by the pond often, under the full, soft petals, and watches Scorpius scoop at the water with a conjured green fishing net. He uses his magic to make the petals fall close to Scorpius, and they kiss the water and unfurl inches from him, until they’re scooped up by the net and placed in a pile on the grass./Scorpius laughs each time he catches one, patting his chubby legs with glee./It makes Draco feel warm.
The Darling Curse by @orange-peony (Draco/Harry) (E, 9209)
It was just a slip./Harry didn't mean to call Draco 'love' in front of the other Aurors, especially because they have no idea they're a couple./Well, Harry could always pretend to be cursed and use pet names with everyone./What's the worst that can happen?

James... really grew up. To Teddy’s sudden realization.
I was super lazy and this is a remake of Shadowhunters’ fanart. It seemed like a perfect fit for one particular Jeddy fandom’s HC ❤️

My favorite!: Smutty Dialogue
Rules: pick any ten seven fics, select some smut or pre-smut dialogue, and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, feel free to share anyway!
Thanks for the tag @ghaniblue! This is fun. I knew I liked writing talking and laughing during sex (anyone who has read any of my fic probably realizes I do not think sex is a Serious thing), but it's been fun to see the things that pop up again and again (pun intended). I also think it's interesting to think through all the ways that people can put into words/actions what they want to do—how it's possible and sexy and funny to communicate in this way. 🥰
🏴‍☠ Here be smut:
Always Already (Harry/Draco, 170k)
"I can't say I care how we finish," Draco breathed, his lips brushing Harry's ear. "You could touch me with your nose right now and it'd still be the best sex I've ever had." Shit. That was way too revealing.
But Harry, eyes still shut and turned to the side, grinned. "Do you have a nose fetish? It's because of your war wounds, isn't it? Anyone with a nose turns you on, after having witnessed him without?"
"The only way this could end unsatisfactorily," Draco said, rolling his hips, "is if you ruin my orgasm by talking about Voldemort. Why don't you tell me what you want?"
Harry opened his eyes. "I really want to suck you off."
****
"Are you ticklish?" Draco asked, caught between teasing, fond amusement, and desire so strong it hurt like he'd been punched in the gut.
"Not really," Harry whispered. "I never realised I even had nerve endings in all these places you're kissing."
"I'll wake up all your nerve endings, baby," Draco drawled, making his voice as ridiculous as possible even as he helplessly pushed his groin against Harry's thigh to relieve the pressure.
"Oh my god," Harry said, laughing.
Smiling, Draco pushed up on his knees to bring his face in line with Harry's. "Tell me," he said, brushing his nose against Harry's cheek, "how do you want to finish this?"
Harry tilted his head back against the floor, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed and said, "Any way. Whatever you want."
"Teenage fantasies aside," Draco whispered, "that's not an answer. What do you want?"
(Un)wanted (Harry/Draco, 37k)
"I'm sorry!" Harry says, still idly thrusting into the air even as he does feel bad about choking Malfoy.
"Don't apologise," Malfoy rasps, tugging him back down. "Do it again."
"Not today, Satan," Harry says despite all his instincts screaming at him to comply. He scoots down until his face is even with Malfoy's and flops onto the bed next to him. "You'll like, go tell the papers that Harry Potter likes to choke people with his cock."
Malfoy raises one thin eyebrow. "Don't you?"
"No!" Harry says, unsure whether to be offended or to laugh. Maybe that's the key to Draco Malfoy that he's been missing all these years—he's supposed to laugh instead of getting offended. "I mean, it felt good. But it's not like I sit around fantasising about choking people."
"Suuure," Malfoy drawls.
****
"Hullo," Malfoy says, and Harry kisses him.
There's an exhale, shoulders relaxing, hot mouths. There's a body under Harry's hands and it's this ridiculous, dramatic prat, and fucking hell, Harry is hot for him—and how did that happen!?
Malfoy pulls away. "I want to note that you said you didn't want casual sex with me."
Harry doesn't answer.
"I'm therefore checking that you actually want to do this. Because you did say that. And we still have to see each other in class or whatever. And we're not drunk. This isn't like last time. This is rather, well, premeditated. Yes?"
Harry nods, hating talking about it but ploughing ahead anyway. "I want to. I don't particularly want to like, define anything. Do we have to? It seems—premature." What he doesn't say is he doesn't think he can manage that discussion. He doesn't want to talk about if they're a couple. If they're boyfriends. If he needs to define his sexuality and come out in the newspapers. Fucking hell. No.
Draco frowns. "Ah, I suppose we could just agree that—it's not casual?"
That's doable. Nothing has ever been casual with Malfoy, has it? "It's not casual," Harry echoes, nodding.
"Oh thank fuck," Draco says, tugging Harry closer, pressing their mouths together and rucking up Harry's shirt, snaking his hands around Harry's back.
again, for the first time (Harry/Draco, 14k)
"I actually…" Draco swallowed. "I don't think I've ever had sex sober."
"Oh," Harry said, and then in a teasing tone, "so am I taking your virginity?"
"I've had so much sex," Draco said, unable to stop himself from breaking into a fit of laughter. "Harry, I have had so much sex. How is it that I feel like a noob?"
"It's different," Harry whispered. "Because you have to be there, if you're sober. Because I see you."
Draco let out an embarrassing noise that he refused to dwell on. "Right. So it's scary, but also, it's so fucking hot. I think I want you to see me. I see you, too, you know." Unable to wait a second longer, Draco pushed his hips off the bed, rolling their groins together.
When Times are Dire (Harry/Draco, 130k)
Draco laughed, unfastening Harry's trousers. "You're so easy."
Harry nodded. "Ah yes. I'm a cheap date. All it takes to get me in bed is to almost kill each other, survive a war together, work together over decades, have children who fall in love and get married, get married for political reasons, pretend to be in love for two years to all friends and relatives, become grandparents together, and take a controlled substance to open up enough to tell each other the truth. That's all."
Draco grinned, pressing his lips together to quell it as he pulled Harry's penis out of his pants. "It didn't require the last one to get you in bed last night."
"It did to get me in bed now," Harry said, raising an eyebrow and then ruining the smirk with a guileless smile.
"We're not in bed," Draco parried, and really he should've seen it coming—Harry grabbed Draco's bicep and Apparated them directly onto their bed.
"We are now." Harry reached behind his head to tug off his t-shirt.
****
"You're the head of the party," Harry said, attaching his lips to Draco's neck, "you can do anything."
"That is…that's not how it works. And I can't do that. I don't disagree that it's fucked up, but—" Draco let out a low moan as Harry dragged teeth over his neck in time with rolling an arse cheek against his erection. "You do realise this isn't what a day at work is like for me, right? I have zero experience discussing policy whilst—nghhhh." Draco let his head drop back, propping himself up on his arms.
"Oh come on, according to those books you love, interns and students and beseeching public figures are always fucking powerful people in their offices."
"You love those books too," Draco defended, trying to keep his voice level despite Harry's best attempts to wreck his composure. "And no one's ever been fucked in my office."
"Say you'll make it part of the platform to ban magically binding entails," Harry whispered, hot in Draco's ear, his tone like he was saying something dirty—and maybe he was, insofar as corruption was 'dirty'.
"I can't," Draco moaned. "Harry, you know I—"
"I'll fuck you in your office." Harry's tongue was so warm—
"You can't influence the policy of the entire LabMag party by bribing me with a workplace tryst," Draco choked out.
"Can't I?" Harry asked. "I don't even feel bad about it, because I'm right."
"I didn't know you believe the ends justify the means, Potter."
"Your end justifies my means."
Calamity's Child (James/Teddy, 43k)
James comes first, thrusts faltering as he presses his hips flush against Teddy's arse and lets his head fall against Teddy's collarbone with a wordless moan. A second later, he blinks. "Sorry, you didn't come yet—I—"
“Shhhh.” Teddy lets go of his cock and rubs a hand up and down James’s back, pulling him forward into a hug so he can have a moment to come down. James starts to sit up and Teddy pushes him away, dislodging his penis, and says, "Don't you dare apologise for coming first. I plan to keep you coming first for a long time, Jamie."
James sits back on his heels and smiles, his penis hanging long from his groin, the full condom tight around it. “Is that so? That’s the worst pickup line I’ve ever heard.”
Lost In My Own Home (James/Teddy, 105k)
Teddy laughs as James throws a piece of fabric at Teddy. The Invisibility Cloak. "Throw that over your head in case Albus or someone sees us walking to the bathroom."
"It's not long enough to entirely cover me," Teddy says. "They'll still see feet."
"Well yeah," James says and shrugs. "I don't care they know I am about to get off with someone in the shower. They just can't know it's you. So…"
Teddy smiles and shrugs. "Okay." He throws the cloak over his head and follows James to the door.
James cracks open the door, stark bollock naked, and peeks into the corridor. "Coast is clear," he says, throwing the door open and walking to the bathroom. Teddy follows him, feeling extremely exposed to be naked in the corridor of the Potters’ house, even if most of his body is invisible.
"Er, James?" Albus's voice says from behind them, and James turns.
"What?" James says, unabashed. "I'm going to take a shower."
Albus gestures at the disembodied feet and raises his eyebrows.
"I'm going to get off with these feet," James says. "See you later."
A Hag, a Hex, a Tale of Redemption (Harry/Draco, 43k)
"Come on!"
"You're pretty demanding," Draco said with a smile, pressing forward again until he was all the way inside.
Harry laughed, eyes still closed. "I'm willing to bet that when we do this the other way round, you'll be just as demanding." His eyes flew open. "I mean, not to assume that you'd—"
But Draco grinned. "I would. We will." Then Draco needed to actually get on with the fucking and stop their laughing. "Can we banter after we're done here, or do you want to—"
"For fuck's sake, Draco, yes! Go, fuck me."

First Line Game
Thanks for the tag @tackytigerfic loved reading your opening lines. Some absolute crackers in there - it feels like we only did this recently but I checked and it was 8 months ago! My previous one can be found here.
List the first lines of your last 10 stories (if you have fewer than 10, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 people!
OK my last 10 fics opened like this:
1. Punkie Night (Drarry, T, ~600 words) Draco is very fucking irritated.
2. Desperately Seeking (Drarry, E, 34k) (not sure if this counts as I started posting it in Dec 2021, but I eventually completed it last month) To the surprise of many (except, of course her brother Al), the brave and fearless daughter of Harry Potter got sorted into Slytherin house.
3. The Gift (Draco/Harry/Teddy, M, 496 words) It was Draco's idea, of course it was.
4. Déjà Vu (Drarry, E, 11k) “Ah fuck… not Gringotts.” 
5. Thunder Moon (Drarry, E, 3.6k) Harry hadn't asked to be a monster. 
6. Nothing Compares (Drarry, T, 3.1k) The first time Harry hears it after Amsterdam, he’s in a pub in Covent Garden.
7. A Quickening Hope, a Freshening Glee (Drarry & Wolfstar, T, 3.9k) "You did it!" Sirius bounded out of the courtroom after Remus and linked arms with him. 
8. Mischief Managed (Harry/Sirius, E, 1.7k) They don't even make it to the bed.
9. Be careful what you hiss for (Drarry, E, 5.6k) It's a little unnerving the first time it happens, but after the eleventh occasion (and yes, I’m counting), it's beginning to get tiresome, not to mention annoyingly erotic, and as well as realising I’m slowly losing my damn mind, I’m beginning to wonder if Potter is quite well.
10. Good Intent (Jeddy, E, 11.9k) It all starts on the camping trip when James gets his dick out in the tent.
OK there you go! I cheated a bit with Nothing Compares, that's actually the second line. But the first line is a song lyric ('It's been seven hours and fifteen days'), so it's not a line I technically 'wrote'.
My favourite is probably the one for Mischief Managed... or maybe Good Intent. I really don't like the Déjà Vu first line and am annoyed with myself for that one, because I wasn't happy with it either at the time and never bothered to change it.
Tagging @wolfpants @kbrick @lettersbyelise @academicdisasterfic @saintgarbanzo @thebooktopus @aibidil @lqtraintracks @skeptiquewrites and anyone else who fancies doing it!

I will never know what it’s like to watch movies/tv-shows or read books and not immediately go to Tumblr/Ao3 when I’ve finished it.
Sometimes I don’t even have the patience to wait until i’ve finished it and I end up seeing spoilers …

my year in fic 2022
thank you to the lovely @maesterchill for the tag!! I wrote way more this year than I realized, and this was a fun way to revisit all these fics...and put them in a handy lil list for myself :)
February
Just Talking | friends to lovers flirting over text
Draco rolled his eyes. “Mostly I do insufferably posh things like go to galas, and then I go on very bad dates.”
Harry sipped his coffee. “Like this one?”
March
The Ever-Changing Room | ‘them fatale’ draco does detective work
"I am a bit of a bitch," Draco admits, "If I want to be."
"And you want to be, right now," Theo says meaningfully. "It's time."
song from the morning birds | smitten winter cabin trans adoration
Draco had grinned when he first saw them in the long skirt, one of the usual evenings that he turned up at their cabin unannounced, and Harry knew that they'd blushed more than they'd ever admit.
June
Glowing | ace vampire harry and trans veela draco do crochet
He leaned close to Draco's neck, and breathed in by accident. Fuck, he thought. Draco smelled sweet, like vanilla.
Best in Blue | enby teddy and head-over-heels disaster james
Harry ruffles Teddy’s hair, which is a bit longer and bright purple today. “I thought you two might like to see each other more.”
“Your son is a menace and I may not survive him,” Teddy grumbles.
July
To Make A Way | fuckbuddies to lovers angst in London
Harry can't think for more than two seconds before his legs are moving in Draco's direction, until his hands are wrapped around Draco's waist, and Draco’s smiling, the rouge on his lips looking almost black in the dim club lighting. 
quelque chose de fort | harry having sex about his feelings
This, the dim bathroom lighting, outlined hands pressing into Harry’s bare skin, this is everything. He’s close, already. They’ve barely touched him.
August
Harry Potter and the Ghost Sex Conundrum | somehow both crack and pwp
“We’ve got what, fifty minutes? Want to find out what ghost sex is like?”
Draco scoffed, loudly. “Sounds awful.”
November
The Re-Fenestration of Potter | horniest ever werewolf draco
His hair is mussed fromall the commotion, and there he is, naked, stepping into Draco’s shower, looking like sex, with a scent that Draco still hasn’t managed to get out of his sheets all the way. He’s sublime, and Draco wants.
Inertia | eighth year enemies to lovers with a gut punch
He wound his fingers through Potter's slowly, just in case he might want to snatch his hand back, in case Draco was somehow doing this wrong. But Potter just watched. He let their hands rest in his lap. Draco tried squeezing. Potter squeezed back.
December
As it was written | weepy hurt/comfort enemies to spooning
Harry appeared one night in a warm sitting room after a harrowing dream about Bellatrix Lestrange and her silver knife. There was a fireplace flickering on his right side, and that familiar silhouette sitting cross legged in a green armchair.
"Malfoy," Harry said. Somehow it wasn't much of a surprise.
no-pressure tagging @corvuscrowned​​, @sorrybutblog​, @saintgarbanzo​, @academicdisasterfic​, @geesenoises​, @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm​, and @softlystarstruck​ if you’d like to do this too!

I just want to say I have never played Hogwarts Mystery before, but in my research for all my fics, I've learned who Chiara Lobosco is, and I will always always always write about her in my fics if I can. Anyway she's mentioned in TBOTS because I gotta. I mean cmon. She was friends with Tonks and she knew Remus. Look me in the eye and tell me she wouldn't fucking adore Teddy. You can't, next question.

Paying It Forward 13.06.2022
Tumblr media
Since my return to fandom back in 2018, one thing I’ve always wanted to do was to put together a rec list of fics I like and share it with this beautiful, crazy place I’ve come to call home, but I’ve always been too shy to actually go and do this…why, you ask? That I know not. But what with today being a very special day for me, I decided to pay it forward and share some of the stories that have brought me feelings galore. Perhaps my worries are also rooted in thinking that some of my favourite stories have already been included in many other lists. But then again, this is my list and I'm going to pour a bit of my heart into it.
💜A Holiday in Provence by dracoismytrashson (E, 32K, Drarry)
I seldom have the energy to return to stories I’ve previously read, but this is one of the few Drarry tales I periodically find myself rereading. I love the setting, the food, the getting together, the fact that this is salt & pepper Drarry…It’s absolutely perfect.
💜Packing the Flat by @marguerite26 (E, 6K, Drarry)
It starts so perfectly on point and is such a beautiful rollercoaster ride from beginning to end. Fills me with fondness.
💜The Four Ds of Apparition (or: Destination, Determination, Deliberation, and Dicks) by eidheann & @firethesound (E, 36K, Drarry)
I mean, I'm not sure if I really need to say anything about this. It's pretty much a fandom staple, I guess. It's also one of the stories I go to when I'm in need of a pick-me-up because it always delivers.
💜you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass (M, 20K, Drarry)
This was/is so bittersweet and thoroughly perfect. I love the red string of fate and the hurt/comfort. It moves me in all the right ways, a true gem.
💜Higher and Higher (Temptation) by birdsofshore (E, 28K, Drarry)
I'm almost embarrassed to admit exactly how many times I've read this story, so let's just say it's been a good few. grin I love just about everything about it, which is to say, it's wonderfully written, hot, and truly gripping.
💜Sex, Lies, and Veritaserum by @letteredlettered (E, 17K, Drarry)
I mean, what can I say besides that I'm truly enamoured by the entire concept of this story, the fact that two people take the time to open up to each other and negotiate about what exactly it is they want is truly inspirational, and the summary is just about epic.
💜You open always (petal by petal) by birdsofshore (E, 65K, Drarry)
I cannot resist a good rentboy!trope fic and this one delivered so beautifully and in every imaginable way possible. I think it's actually been a while since I read this and I would very much like to dive right back into this world which I think I will do just as soon as my own commitments are taken care of.
💜The Darklist by dysonrules (M, 87K, Drarry)
I honestly don't know what's not to love. The beautiful ways how this is built on The Blacklist yet retains every bit of originality and perfect characterisation? The writing? The everything? I'm just in love.
💜Aural Gratification by birdsofshore (E, 10K, Drarry)
This is stunningly beautiful in so many ways. It's also hot. Very hot. And amusing, very amusing. If I am not entirely mistaken there is/was a podfic for this and while I usually prefer reading, I thoroughly enjoyed listening.
💜December Never Felt So Wrong by @maesterchill (E, 50K, Drarry)
This fic, while being Christmas-themed, is one that captured me so and to this day I am still thoroughly enamoured with it. Such exquisite work, such a thoughtful writing process and the chapter titles that went with each image. I am completely in awe and I will always remain that way.
💜My Name in Your Mouth by @lqtraintracks (E, 18K, Draco/Harry/Teddy)
Probably the first triad fic I ever read because something about LQT's writing always feels safe and wholesome, even if it's explicit sex. I just know I can trust that I am going to enjoy myself. Part of the reason is probably also that I have a major crush on their writing and know that they are a truly wonderful soul, but yeah, this fic is glorious!
💜Draco Malfoy: Toilet Supremo by who_la_hoop (T, 26K, Drarry)
This is probably a fic that changed me in a way I do not know how to explain. The summary alone was enough to crack me up and the fic did not disappoint. I loved every second of my reading time. Such fondness. Also, THE TWIST.
💜when evil blooms by thedoomofvalyria (E, 83K, Drarry)
I will never stop screaming about this fic. It is everything. Draco's purple waistcoat still kills me (I really need one in RL and I have no idea how to get my hands on one) and the art is so utterly stunning.
💜Chasing Dragons by @the-sinking-ship (E, 98K, Drarry)
This story probably embodies everything I love. An absolutely fantastic plot that kept me hooked from the second I started reading. The character development is amazing and the descriptions are absolutely breathtaking, also DRAGONS!!! Nuff said.
💜Burned Silk, Buckled Leather by @ruinsplume (E, 12K, Sirius/Draco)
I only just raved about this fic to a friend today and they are equally as excited. I'm dying to read this again because not only is this a a rarepair I didn't think I would enjoy (or thought about at all) but it's also so beautifully written that it brought a tear to my eyes when I first read it.
💜Wonderful Electric (cover me in you) by @lqtraintracks (E, 10K, Drarry)
I don't know how to be normal about this fic. I screamed when the notification dropped into my inbox and ran right over to read it. I just had to indulge and I have no regrets nor will I ever have any regrets. This is so beautifully written that talking about it here makes me tearful.
💜The Beauty of Thestrals and Other Unseen Things by @writcraft (E, 63K, Drarry)
Such a beautiful take on a heavy topic and given that it's pride month, so so so valid. I absolutely loved reading this story and I wept a few times, it was/is so stunning.
💜Who we are in the shadows by @quicksilvermaid (E, 99K, Drarry)
I very distinctly remember where I was when I read this fic. I was still in China and I read the entire thing sitting on the fluffy rug beside my bed while my cat was sleeping beside me on the bed, hugging my forearm. And I raved about it to anyone who would listen and in at least one comment. It was one of the first stories I read upon my proper return to fandom and I love love love it so so so much.
💜Freedom to be by @quicksilvermaid (E, 169K, Drarry)
I devoured this story and I think it was right around the time of reading this that I coined the term unputdownable, which became my go-to description for any fic I would and do give up sleep for.
💜Modern Love by @tackytigerfic (E, 61K, Drarry)
I think I lost it after I read this fic. Tacky has the uncanny ability to transport me to any place they write about and the feeling is so intense and so beautiful that I'm continually stunned by it. Also, Tacky is one of the loveliest people in fandom and I've been crushing hard for a very long time...I've just been keeping shush about it. But I guess the dragon's out of the bag now.
💜F*ck! by shushu_yaoi_lj (E, 28K, Drarry)
I am also struggling to be normal about this fic, because bloody heck, this is one ride I know I will take again and again. I'm quite certain I shouted loudly in the comments about the awesomeness of this tale.
💜Loverboys by @corvuscrowned (E, 84K, Drarry)
I cannot even begin to find the right words to explain how I feel about this story. I love absolutely everything about it, which is very helpful when writing a rec, I know, but this is personal to me and as such, all I can do is share my own feelings. The truly and beyond beautiful execution of this fake/pretend relationship trope fills me with so much love. And the plot!!! OMG.
💜Lovesick by @corvuscrowned (T, 7K, Drarry)
Yet another fic I don't know how to be normal about. Never mind that Crow is like the nicest, kindest, sweetest, loveliest person ever, this fic killed me in ways I will not even try to explain. Because I do not have words. Only feelings, loads and loads of feelings.
💜Criminal by @the-sinking-ship (E, 83K, Drarry)
Omph. The slow burn. The writing. The story, the...the...the everything! I need this fic to be a movie and I wish to watch it at least once a day.
💜Seeker's High by @corvuscrowned (M, 40K, Drarry)
Besides the fact that this story is like 40K of pure dopamine and serotonin, I do not know what to say. Also, it's Crow. And I may just be a little in love. Or a lot. In a normal sort of fandom way.
💜Sweeten To Taste by @babooshkart & bigblackdog (E, 51K, Drarry)
The tag 'a truly astounding amount of cooking' drew me in, and the rest is history, truly, completely, utterly. Such a feelgood read, such stunning art.
💜Fond Regards from the Stars by @famoustruth (T, 30K, Scorbus)
I'm besotted with this fic and the astounding amount of work that went into creating this gorgeous piece of art is mindboggling.
💜Nobody Tells You How by @thirdeye1234 (E, 34K, Drarry)
Gosh, I cried ugly tears over this fic and fell in love with it with no less than probably, uh, I don't know 10 times? And then I promptly ran into my friend's DMs to sob about missing my dear dad even though the fic and my dad are completely unrelated. Still, this fic is utterly gorgeous.
💜Licurici by @lou-isfake (E, 133K, Draco/Charlie/Harry)
Lou is truly an exceptional writer, they created this beautiful piece that changed me in such a beautiful way that I will absolutely and unequivocally never stop screaming about this story. I've always loved Charlie with either Draco or Harry but Lou went and put them all together into the most beautiful triad and they also wrote the most stunning tale of love, empathy, self-discovery, and acceptance. Also, the smut is out of this world.
💜Grounding Harry by @nerdherderette (M, 4K, Drarry)
This was a very recent rec because I'm currently (and actually have always been) on a salt & pepper train and it's such a beautiful sassy piece of writing, I will never get over this.
💜First Week of Eternity by InnerLilith (E, 7K, Drarry)
Absolutely everything InnerLilith writes is pure gold and I am quite possibly quite deeply in love. For one because InnerLilith is a fabulous person, and two, because of THAT EPIC TWIST and three because Interpersonal Relationships Year 7, Unit 3: How to Have Sex Like a Responsible Adult exists in my world.
💜What Have You Been Hiding Under Those Robes, Professor Malfoy? by @thebooktopus (E, 15K, Drarry)
If I actually said everything I want to say about this fic and the art that exists for this, I will still be writing this post this time next year. I am so utterly in love with this story, it's positively unreal. Also, Maddy is the bestest!
💜Glowing by @cavendishbutterfly (T, 9K, Drarry)
Love, love, love. Is that a sufficient reason? My list, my rules, so yes. Cav is a beautiful person, this whole story is beautiful and I'm in love.
💜As You Wish, Minister by @nv-md (E, 1.4K, Teddy/Draco/Harry)
Ali is one of those people who will drop a fic like that right out of the blue to ruin me. Granted, she did not write this specifically for me but I am one of her very enthusiastic readers and as such, I feel she very much intended to AK me by creating this gorgeousness. Thankfully, she's a good friend and allows me to regularly scream about her gorgeous work so it's all good.
💜Take These Lies by @pennygalleon (E, 18K, Drarry)
The summary reads as follows: "There’s a portrait of his godfather in Draco Malfoy’s potions shop and Harry needs to know why. But that’s not why he keeps coming back." I ran so fast to read this that had I been driving I would have gotten at least one speeding ticket.
💜Euphoria by by birdsofshore (E, 22K Draco/Albus + Scorbus)
I am quite certain someone screamed about this fic in a Discord server and I promptly demanded t read it. It was fantastic, utterly brilliant. I am in love. Truly, madly deeply.
💜Strawberry Wine series by @phoebe-delia (T, 3.5K, Jeddy)
When Pheebs dropped the first part of this, I died, screamed myself hoarse and responded with keyboard smashes galore. Then art appeared and Pheebs wrote more and I died again and, of course, I begged for a sequel and Pheebs (because she's truly awesome and a dearest friend) delivered. I am not normal about this story or the fact that this cactus is my friend.
💜You Make Me Melt by @phd-mama (E, 4K, Drarry)
I cannot stop raving about this story. It's beautiful, it's tender, it's HOT, and it brought a new friend into my life, two actually, and when a story does that to me, it goes into the collectables jar and that's where it stays for all eternity.
💜Tiny Time by @wolfpants (E, 30K, Draco/Ron/Harry)
I am forever changed by this story. I never considered this triad a possibility but it's perfect, amazing, wonderful, truly, truly, perfect. I am so so so in love with the story. And I've been so very vocal about this story's amazingness and I will continue to be very vocal about it.
