THE BIG FIND: DAY TEN

Welcome to the tenth and final day of our anniversary celebration!

The Big Find is a 10-day long Drarry fic-finding marathon to celebrate the blog’s first anniversary. Below is the Day 10 compilation of lost fics, both old and new, that we’ve been unable to find. Our aim is to get as much attention to these lost fics as possible, to help people finally find their missing fics! Anyone can participate by reblogging, reading through each list, providing additional fic details, and informing us the title, author, or link of a fic, and their respective number in the comment section. Happy finding!

10.1 ffn, the plot is similar to “Boys over Flowers”. It takes place in their 8th year, pretty sure it’s a one shot. Draco is being bullied. Neville also has a crush on draco I believe but it’s drarry. (original post)

10.2 I read it on ao3 not more than three years ago. I think it was short. Harry was a bit smug. He and Draco wear each other’s ties, on accident, I think. And that’s how they reveal they’re dating, at the breakfast (I think) when people take notice of it. One of the two was like, “hey this is your tie” and so people were like, “why do you have his tie?“ I *think* Draco sat on Harry’s lap or something like that? Everything had been done in the great hall. I’m leaning into the possibility that Harry approached Draco, gave him his tie and commented on their relationship while everybody was shocked. (original post)

fic is not tie me up in knots by lauren3210

10.3 ffn, Harry realized that he like wearing girl clothes and being perceived as a girl the summer after 3rd year. Ginny and Hermione helped Harry get potions that would basically do a sex change on him and Cedric and Draco were super into the new Harry. I also remember that Harry felt like they had to hide this from Sirius. (original post)

10.4 Draco works in the fashion industry and is really famous. Harry is an auror. Draco is dating one of Harry’s close friends (OMC). Draco breaks up with Harry’s friend and they leave it on good terms. But on one night out, Harry, while being drunk, accidentally tells his friend that he has a crush on Draco. The friend reacts hostilely cause he secretly still has feelings for Draco. At one stage, the friend attacks Harry when Harry keeps making advances to ask Draco out. I do remember that it had 24 chapters. (original post)

10.5 microfic posted on tumblr, it was eighth year and Harry kept dropping things and forgetting to speak when Draco walked by. I think Draco maybe had long hair? And at the end I think Draco asked him out while Harry was being a disaster. (original post)

10.6 ao3, Harry and Draco had a baby, but only because Harry wanted. He wasn’t aware Draco had no desire to be a parent. Both the baby and Draco only liked Harry and disliked each other. It ended with either Harry asking for another child or Draco as pregnant, with a sentence like “if it was going to make Harry happy, Draco could bear it.” (original post)

10.7 Draco is rumored to be very promiscuous and one day he gets attacked but Harry saves him. But he doesn’t believe draco cause of the rumors, which was actually all fake cause an ex made them up since draco wouldn’t sleep with him. It’s drarry at the end. (original post)

10.8 ao3, hurt/comfort, Harry is ignoring Draco brushing him off, either he IS cheating or Draco suspects that’s what’s going on, Harry says cruel things to him and Draco silently decides he can’t take this anymore so he packs his things and gets ready to leave. Harry is suddenly stricken and despairing, desperately begging Draco not to leave him but Draco is crying and he’s so angry that NOW Harry is showing affection to him but he knows he should still go so he does and Harry like falls to his knees and starts to sob. The rest of it is about Harry trying to win Draco back slowly but surely, Hermione and Ron and maybe Pansy all told him he was a fcking ass to Draco and tell him to earn his trust back again before jumping straight into please be mine again. It takes awhile and lots of tears but they get back together and Harry promises to Draco to make up for what he’s done every day for the rest of their lives. (original post)

10.9 one shot or maybe a short fic, harry and draco are physical but harry is a butt and won’t fully come out and say that he’s with draco so draco feels like this dirty little secret but he adores harry so he does whatever harry asks including being hidden one time for uncomfortably long at harry’s flat when a visitor interrupted their tryst and harry shoved draco away. anyways harry puts a hand on draco’s throat during sex i think he may have asked beforehand or it’s implied they’ve done it before after a consent chat but harry gets too rough and in the spur of his big O he pushes too hard literally choking draco and doesn’t even notice, just rolls over and goes to sleep. draco goes to the bathroom and gasps for air then notices the marks on his throat like he’s been attacked, he starts to cry. he slips out while harry sleeps, worried that instead of harry being sad he hurt him that harry will be angry at draco for it. stops returning harry’s owls, he saw pansy and blaise and they angrily told him to stop seeing his mystery man once and for all because emotional damage is bad enough but physical violence is a crime. he keys harry out of his wards too and harry gets angry says whatever says some nasty things until he sees draco out and about and notices under draco’s scarf a thick ring of bruising and he feels guilt. commence stumbling apologies and guilt and makeup sex (original post)

10.10 a rewrite of canon i think (maybe just the last book?) and draco (spoiler) like sacrifices his life at the end of it. i remember ron and him like share a look at the end before ron gets harry out and harry is obviously quite shaken over his boyfriend’s death. (original post)

FOUND! 10.11 ao3, Harry showing up at Draco’s place at nigth, he and Ginny are separated (or so he told Draco) and they start a relationship, Ginny show up one day and result that she and Harry aren’t totally separated, Draco is arrested for something and there was discrimination against ex Death Eathers and slytherins, there also was a terrorist exploding places where known ex Death Eathers were, in jail Ron talk to Draco saying is Geoge but Harry say is Ron, Harry also say to Draco he love him and is going to divorce Ginny to be with him, but Draco doesn’t belive him because he know the Weasleys are Harry’s family and can’t take that away from him, he didn’t expect Harry to chose betwen him and them, but he also doesn’t want to know the result of that choise, Harry promises that IS going to divorce Ginny, because he want to be with Draco. The last time I read it was in a flash back about Voldemort teaching Draco how to revive someone. (original post)

10.12 8th year fic, all the houses are in one common room playing spin the bottle and they can either kiss the person it lands on or drink. It points to Draco and he decides to drink instead of kissing Harry and Harry was jealous cause earlier Draco kissed Justin FF. Later Draco told Harry that he didn’t kiss him because Harry looked like he’d rather die than kiss Draco. They end up kissing later after the game. Draco kisses Justin and Justin develops a small crush on him (wants to kiss him again) and Harry gets jealous and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a long fic. It might have been one chapter or just a few. (original post)

fic is not night magic by kbrick

10.13 Set sometime after Hogwarts. I believe Harry was working as an auror. He and Draco are together, and have been for a while. One day Draco leaves without a warning (to France or Italy) then he comes back to England with a child. Harry was not aware that he had a child. The fic is mainly focusing on the time Draco comes back to England with flashbacks of the time before he left. Someone threatened Draco and their unborn child one time when he left the the hospital. Draco and Hermione are good friends and that it ends with them having another child (original post)

10.14 Takes place after the war and the golden trio including Draco are working and Harry and Draco become really good friends and realize how much they have in common and continue meeting up. (They might be Aurors). Draco tags along with Harry to a dinner with Hermione and Ron and Drarry are sitting next to each other, constantly looking at each other and finishing each other’s sentences and forming a bubble. Hermione and Ron are just staring at each other and throwing looks as they’re so confused and think Drarry are just friends but they’re very much acting like a couple. They later ask Harry questions about the relationship but Harry is just like “what, why? We’re just friends?”. Harry goes along with Draco to his friends dinner and the whole thing starts again and Harry gets along with everyone very well and even mentions how he almost sorted in Slytherin and Draco is just like “what? Why did you never tell me that?”. In one scene Draco goes “oh” and realizes how much he fell for Harry. At some point they do start dating and all of their friends collectively groan because “we told you so” (original post)

it’s interesting that the existence of xg is such an uncomfortable topic for so many people.

if they aren’t openly discredited for being a primarily fem east asian group, then they get misbranded as an act from the country they primarily train & promote in (south korea) aka a kpop group when they Are Not A Kpop Group plus: they’ve have faced various discriminations in sk. if it’s not their use of english in all of their official music, then they’re suddenly not as hardworking as others or are “too comfortable” despite their free documentary showing us how much hell they’ve gone to just to debut the same as nearly every group in the east asian music industry. and of course there’s the ever-prevalent “the group doesn’t even make sense.”

and this part requires even more nuance nuance: xg’s music is written + produced primarily by other poc (rachel west, jakops, poe leos, patrick “j.que” smith & more) & includes heavy aave (african american vernacular english). in recent months there’s also been valid discussion surrounding jurin + cocona’s hairstyles + whether they are culturally appropriate or not. many east asian idols+groups continue to engage in cultural appropriation, but people act like these things are unacceptable when it comes to xg when these are not experiences unique to xg & are part of many east asian music group experiences (ESPECIALLY KPOP GROUPS) for a variety of reasons not limited to racism, wanting to mirror the “western” industry, & racism. there are also a lot of black songwriters+producers working in sk. all poc (especially black & indigenous people) are entitled to their nuanced perspective on the prevalence of cultural appropriation in east asian music industries+culture; it impacts us in different ways & we will have different, possibly changing perspectives on it.

xg’s entire concept is breaking boundaries stereotypes & expectations. english+aave are the primary languages they perform their songs in, & they are known for using korean, japanese, & english on non-official releases. they regularly release dance+music content between promotional periods, showcasing the experience they’ve gained from training + being an active group. they’ve performed at kcon japan + head in the clouds new york & have been promoting in the west on billboard, elle, + more. they’ve collaborated with ciara, jackson wang, & rico nasty. they’re so fcking popular i can’t find their albums! anywhere! plus, xg debuted in march of last year.

if credibility is a concern, they’ve established it. if success is a concern, consider why you think you get to decide what they deserve. and again (with nuance) if you’re a poc, your perspective on the cultural aspects of the group is yours. i know for a fact that xg is especially adored by black people for their music, lyrics, & non-official releases, many of which include covers + samples of poc songs/beats (like “two tens” a beat by j.cole, a black american rapper, that maya+harvey recently sampled). i also know a lot of us were angry+thrown+confused+hurt+etc when cocona + jurin wore certain hairstyles. (girllllll if you don’t get that shit out your head.) for me, there’s no final good vs. evil conclusion to be made bc of how prevalent it (appropriation) is & how much i’ve exhausted myself in moments past attempting to find one.

if you don’t like how xg does things (not the hair stuff)(never again…please) or can’t appreciate what they stand for as a group, then no, you won’t like them & you probably won’t enjoy their content. xg does not exist to make sense to you, or anyone else for that matter.

#xg #blue rambles #xtraordinary girls #xgalx #cw cultural appropriation #does that warrant a cw #i think it does #the next person that says xg is too comfortable is getting an indefinite timeout in the void #i mean it #music

Lol sorry I was reading thru your blog but about your food service post.... its definitely worse than retail. Worst thing about retail is its boring but there is significantly less that can go wrong with selling clothes or groceries than food. I worked at w*lmart and the work I liked but the coworkers were fcking intolerable, worse than customers. Managers getting away with sexual harassment and shit, bullying no one would do anything about. I'm at a chain fast casual restaurant now and the coworkers are slightly better mostly cause they're all women lol but corporate is AWFUL, we're understaffed and normally people who get along are all tense at each other cause of it.... and the customers are FAR more entitled. Last night we literally had a guy take 30 minutes to decide what kind of cake he wanted, my manager was like are you sure, he said yes, came in and returned the cake not even 2 minutes later for another one! Wtf! Nobody reads the fckn menu. I got called rude because a woman felt "rushed" by me but she wouldn't answer if she was doing takeout or dine in. I upgraded a woman to a bowl of soup from a cup for free cause she complained about the price and she still complained about being disrespected??? I always give great customer service and people think I'm either the best or literally a demon. I don't get it. Yeah sorry to rant but unless I can start making big money there soon (the gm is easy to guilt trip and I might get a promotion) I'm probably gonna be out of the industry forever lolllll

Appreciate ur ranting… food service is an abominable industry. I should have known not to go after josh from work. Any 30 + year old happy to work in food service has something wrong with them. Very low empathy high emotional intelligence people.

well hello again friends, it’s madi back at it again with another muse--- this is xan park, the lead dancer and lead rapper of kdi!! i’ll drop his profile here, and i haven’t had time to put together a formal connections page but i’ll leave some ideas under the cut with his background and get around to the connections page later--- feel free to message me for plots or drop a like on this post and i’ll throw this lil meme boi @ ya!!

˗ˏˋ ( kevin moon. twenty one. cismale. he/him. ) alexander 'xan' park is a 98 liner + has been at so!ar entertainment for five years. they are the lead dancer + lead rapper in the group kdi. they are known by their fans to be playful, hard working + understanding but they can also be naive, annoying + oblivious. i hope that they can make it in this industry.

background// --tw: child abuse, neglect

xan was born alexander park in toronto, canada and he’s the youngest of four children

his parents divorced when he was only two years old, and xan and his brother were sent to live with his father while their two sisters lived with his mother

their father, however, took the divorce hard and turned to alcohol to cope, at which point he slowly became less and less fit to be a father, always forgetting to pick xan and his brother up from school, leaving them home alone over long periods of time

but they loved their father, so the two brothers made a pact not to tell their mother about what he was doing when they saw her because they knew she’d be able to get the law on her side and take custody of the two boys

it wasn’t until they were both in high school that their father’s addiction became violent, and as his older brother felt the need to protect him and ended up taking most of the beatings, xan considered the idea of breaking their pact multiple times and calling their mother about it, no matter how many times his brother told him not to, that they only had a few more years left in this town, that they’d be fine

by the time xan’s brother graduated high school he couldn’t take it anymore, which xan found completely understandable, but the fact that he left him to finish high school in canada with their father while he left to take on a fancy new job in korea left xan feeling more alone than ever

he endured his last years in toronto simply staying out late to avoid his father at all costs and ended up joining a dance crew where he learned to project his anger into something productive and fell in love with dance

when he brought up his brother’s occupation, his crew encouraged him to audition for so!ar for the prospect of becoming a backup dancer so that he could leave toronto to live with his brother in seoul

during the audition process, however, the staff fell in love with his distinct voice and offered to initiate him as a trainee if he was willing to learn how to rap

the training process was rough, especially since he couldn’t speak korean well enough to communicate with ease, but he stuck through it if only because he knew if he were to quit or get kicked out, he’d either have to move back to canada or rely on his brother to be able to live in seoul, and he really didn’t want to put that kind of responsibility on him

fun facts//

look at him now!! the lead dancer and lead rapper of kdi hell yea fam!!!!

his vc is lee felix so voice as deep as the ocean y’all

he’s really just a whole meme boi, recites vines and does fckin fortnite dances at every chance he gets ( his personality inspirations are kevin moon and lee felix what more do y’all expect )

he can’t stay serious for one minute unless it’s for practice or a performance, otherwise he’ll burst into laughter at every little thing, be warned

still, he’s a hardworking lil bub, he’s tried his hand in writing lyrics but his lacking korean skills really inhibit those abilities--- he does, however, contribute a little bit of his own choreography

he’s pansexual, and not only that but he falls in love like multiple times a day with so many different people, this boy is just out here with his heart on his sleeve ready to be broken

wanted connections//

foreign!! line!! shenanigans!!!!

other crackhead kdi members to be crackheads on vlive with

someone from a senior group who treats him like a little brother

someone from a senior group who finds him to be really fcking annoying but xan just cannot take a hint and leave them alone

a staff member who can’t stand him

puppy crushes!!!!!!!! bonus points if they confuse each other when they’re flirting bc of the use of idioms in different languages

ex-flings

a ride-or-die best friend who isn’t afraid to get into trouble with him

idk, anything else really!! i’m open to plotting so many things, and i’ll be making a formal connections page later on so i’ll post when that’s done as well

#hqidolintro #i'm gonna start on my replies for hanjae #but lemme know if you wanna plot with xan y'all!!!!!! #my meme bby
