@sitp-recs was one of the very first blogs I followed on this funny little site we all call home, and I believe can easily be credited as my gateway drug to... well, whatever the hell this is that I'm doing now.
Liv has been doing this for two years. TWO. YEARS. have you seen the absolutely insane incredible amount of recs that she's put out in that time? like, I'm not sure she's even human tbh. putting together a rec takes time, plus a lot of love and emotional energy. trying to corral your feelings about something and then spit them out in a way that makes other people interested? it's hard.
Liv, you're such a gift to this community. I wanted to say thank you - so many of my favorite fics and authors came as a result of one of your recommendations. you're truly such a gem and we are so lucky to have you. I wanted to gift you recs of some of my favorites so far from 2022 that I hope you'll enjoy! For those of you who are not Liv, I've linked to some relevant lists of hers, if these are fics you enjoy!!
✨ Once More With Feeling by @innerlilith // E // 27K // angsty, heavy fuck or die fic that turns so fucking soft and gorgeous. fav tag: origami as a vehicle for sexting.
recommended Liv lists: Fuck or Die, Hurt/Comfort, Hogwarts Eighth Year
✨ The Only Magic Left Between Us by @lqtraintracks​ // E // 24K // I cried over this fic, just a bottomless well of emotions. but in the best way. fav tags: Draco Malfoy Has a Small Cock, Harry Loves It
but seriously check out Liv's lists: Arranged/Forced Marriage, Size Kink, First Time
✨ Pages of You by @wolfpants // E // 54K // pen pals, mistaken identity, background Wolfstar, gay bookstore, this fic has it all. fav tag: lots of Blondie references
you're basically guaranteed to find something you like: Non-Magical AU, Enemies to Lovers, Found Family
✨ Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis by @vukovich​ // E // 50K // I think my jaw was having open by the time I finished this fic, just a bunch of gibberish falling out. I had to question why I even try to write when vuk is out here doing this kind of masterpiece, but here we are! fav tag: Inappropriate Use of Legilimency
I love how specific some of Liv's lists are: Case Fic, Presumed Dead/Disappearance, Drarry Against the World
✨ The Things We Need by @kbrick​ // E // 25K // this was such a gorgeous take on love in its many forms, setting boundaries, and non-monogamy. fav tag: Smut with a Side of Angst
Liv has your back: Polyamory, Exhibitionism, Jealous Harry
✨ Keep Me Here by @academicdisasterfic​ // E // 7K // Harry/Draco/Teddy // gahhhh I've re-read this so many times I can't even tell you. I LOVE this triad, and this version is especially soft and so, so hot. fav tag: as usual these tags have gotten away from me
Ok this list of lists is probably my favorite on this list: Harry/Draco/Teddy, Cottagecore Vibes, Threesomes

Two years ago today, I got a message on Tumblr from @sitp-recs
I had come across her rec blog earlier that month and it had struck me how similar our tastes were. She seemed to feel the same way I did about fics, and she always managed to capture exactly what I loved about the fics she mentioned. I remember reblogging her TOBM rec with its brilliant banner and thinking, yes, this person gets it so profoundly.
Little did I know that in the following two years we'd end up staying up far too late/early chatting about fics, that we'd fall completely in love with the same fics (she recs Far From the Tree here), that she'd introduce me to countless new and brilliant authors and fics (like Polar Night). That we'd bond over our love for rare pairs, for short fics, and for watersports, and that i'd get my own rec that made me cry.
I love Liv's attitude to fandom - her eagerness to explore new stories and art, her vast knowledge of fics to fit every trope and theme, her mix of kindness and strong-mindedness, and her genuine desire to uplift creators and give readers the best fandom experience they can have (hello, beginner Drarry reclists!). The recent #LivLaughLove day showed just how well-loved she is around these here parts. And I treasure her friendship, her unwavering support, and how generous and loving she is.
Livvy, here's to many more years of friendship, endless gifs, dog pics, Drarry, and everything in between. I'm so lucky to have you, a horny dumbass looking to kiss as many people as possible. Lots of love from a mysterious and ethereal horny entity.
I started three separate fics for you and none of them worked out (horrid writer's block). Instead of stressing out, as I know you'd tell me off, I'll just offer a little snip of one of them. It involves Unspeakable Draco (and Harry's ex-auror partner) who can see visions... only his visions are inconveniently mostly of Harry either dying or having sex with Draco (and Teddy, and Sirius... basically all your favourite age gap ships babe!) I will finish it someday.
There was a smell to the air, Harry thought, that reminded him of that time in King’s Cross, or wherever it was. Almost sterile, almost nothing at all, but like it was covering something else up, something more ancient and electric and inexorable, like how the air sometimes smelled as one season tipped into another. Did time have a smell, he wondered? Or was that the scent of all the ways in which they tracked and measured and trapped time down here, doing who knows what to who knows when?
“Umm. Malfoy, please,” Harry said politely to the receptionist, who was sitting in the middle of the otherwise empty room at a magnificent black desk which was polished to an onyx, spilled-oil sheen. “Draco Malfoy?”
“Unfortunately,” the person intoned smoothly, features smoothed out into a careful blank so that Harry knew as soon as he left the room, he wouldn’t be able to pick the person out again if he passed them in the hallway, “we can neither confirm nor deny that we have any person of that name under our—”
“It’s alright, Maxwell.” Malfoy’s voice appeared to be coming out of nowhere, until he stepped out of what looked very like some sort of inter-dimensional portal in the centre of the room. “That’s Harry Potter, for goodness sake. I think he’s probably got clearance.”
Harry coughed uncomfortably. He had in fact got clearance, had engineered an entire case’s worth of paperwork just to get Robards to agree to an Unspeakable consult, actually. It was easier to just ask for things, these days. People rarely said no to him.
“Well, why didn’t you say?” Maxwell sounded chippy, and jabbed his wand at Harry aggressively. With a blink, Harry could finally see Maxwell, and the room, properly. The desk was much smaller, just an ordinary Ministry desk like the one Harry had just eaten a pumpkin pasty over before coming down here. Maxwell’s features coalesced from Unspeakable blank to his real face as Harry watched. He somehow managed to look pert and grumpy all at the same time, and as Harry looked at him, he blew a large bubble with whatever he was chewing, and let it pop. Where the portal had been was just a normal office door, and on it—Harry swallowed—was a plaque that read D. Malfoy. If he craned his neck, he could see a little slice of the room. There was Malfoy’s lopsided spider plant that he’d taken off the desk he used to share with Harry the day he left. There was Harry’s Cannons calendar, the one that used to have their weekly hours scribbled on it but now had been turned to the new month, a fresh blank.
“I must say,” Maxwell told Malfoy, blatantly ignoring Harry now, “he doesn’t look like he does in all the magazines.” His tone suggested that this wasn’t a compliment.
“Give over, Maxwell,” Malfoy told him, and then jerked his head viciously at Harry and disappeared back through his office door.
“I thought we agreed a clean break was needed,” Malfoy said wretchedly. His office was quite nice, actually, though looked far too cosy and Malfoy-ish to belong to this miserable-looking version of him who was standing on the rug with his knuckles white and controlled where his fingers clenched in the skirts of his uniform robes.
“You agreed,” Harry said, wondering when he’d start feeling like a grown up about this whole thing. “I never said anything at all.”
“Well, what are you doing here, then?” Malfoy spread his hands, walking to his desk and perching on the edge. It looked the very opposite of casual, and Malfoy knew it too, judging by the tension in his throat, the twist of his mouth.
“You don’t belong here,” he told Malfoy, and Maxwell called back through the door, “Yeah, that’s what Maur— I mean, Head Unspeakable of the Division of Temporal Research always says about him too,” and cackled mercilessly before Malfoy stalked over and kicked the door shut.
“Yes, thanks for that, Potter,” Malfoy said bitterly. He looked pale and tired, not like he’d been working hard, but like he wasn’t sleeping well. Harry hadn’t even known Aurors could move sideways like this, had heard the rumours whispered in the Aurors’ tearoom but which had almost certainly started higher up. Malfoy had called in a favour, Malfoy used his daddy’s bad name, Malfoy used his daddy’s money to get the new job. Malfoy certainly wasn't trained for this job, that much was true. They’d had optional Unspeakable training at the academy, of course, but Malfoy hadn’t taken any of the modules. Neither had Harry, who wasn’t even sure how Malfoy could possibly be qualified to work here, let alone get an office to himself with his name on the door. 
But that wasn’t what he meant when he thought about Malfoy not belonging here. It was just that Malfoy belonged in the field, with Harry. Yes, the work was brutal, and often boring, and sometimes horrifying and dangerous, but having Malfoy there—being part of a team—had made it worthwhile. Harry thought of him after a raid, sweating magic, uniform stuck to his wet back, blood on his teeth, sleeves rolled up, everything under control. That was where he belonged.
“I just came to see how you are,” Harry said. “I wish you’d come back.”
“You can’t just say that sort of thing,” Malfoy said miserably.

Happy 2 Year Tumblr Anniversary, Liv!!
I'm afraid I can't really express how much your friendship and your blog mean to me - you're one of the most lovely, caring and kind people in this fandom and you absolutely SPOIL us with the amount of recs you created along those years - the variety of which is astonishing! I think I already said that at some point, but you seem to have a superpower to sense when one might need a boost and your well timed tags come to the rescue exactly when they're most needed. You lifted my spirits more than once that way and I'm sure I'm not the only one - thank you so much for being the part of this fandom and for using your reading experience to guide us among the many fics that the super talented people of the Drarry Squad created.
For your blog anniversary I wish for you to always blog in a way that brings you the most joy and that our fandom will continue giving you as much love as you always have for others! 💖💖💖
Now, to get to the part announced in the banner of this post: my wee gift for you is to try doing a rec list myself - and without furter ado, here's a list of my 5+1 favorite rec lists that could be found on @sitp-recs - each of them featuring at least one, sometimes multiple, fics that I discovered thanks to you!
🐕 Pets (17 drarry recs)
Maybe that's because it's so close to how much I love animals irl, but I absolutely LOVE IT when Draco and Harry interact with various pets, creatures and fantastic beasts in fics - and this particular list covers all of those possibilities!
⏳ Time Travel (16 drarry recs)
One of my all-time-favorite-fic-tropes and thanks to this list I have a quick way of finding my fav time-travel!drarry stories (our tastes overlap here SO MUCH!). Also I endlessly appreciate you sorting your recs by the word count!
🐺 werewolf!Harry (10 drarry recs)
I know, I know, I so often say that I'm not a fan of a/b/o dynamics AND YET I can't help it, your werewolf!recs have a certain ability to lure me into reading them anyway AND enjoying the hell out of them! The only reason it's werewolf!Harry and not Draco is because I'm sentimental and one of the very first drarry fics I have read had werewolf!Harry in it.
1️⃣ 1st person POV (13 drarry recs)
This list is SO important to me because I used to be one of those people who would abandon fic as soon as I realized it's written in 1st person - and miss out on so many amazing stories! Here was my chance on finding them again and hopefully it encouraged many people like me to give this form of narration a chance.
🏖️ summer vibes (11 drarry recs)
For a person who can only tolerate summer in the smallest doses I have a super soft spot for fics written in this vibe - I guess it's just so much easier to enjoy hot weather when it's not me melting in the sun? xD And this list contains so many of my ultimate favs too - our overlapping tastes strike again!
+ 💕 Author/Artist reclists (so far 14 rec lists)
For the +1 I'm gonna cheat a little and link a list of recs instead of fics. I'm one of those readers who when they enjoy a fic A LOT will then go on a wild binge read of other stuff by the same author - and those lists give me similar vibe to that absolute need to appreciate a creator as much as possible. Also, I can't express how much it means that you also found a way to recs us artist and that my name features on that list as well - I will never forget the flood of emotions I felt when I first read that post... ;_;
(My list links only a very few examples of Liv's fantastic recs, so make sure to follow to her blog and check out all of them HERE!)

Fandom can be a scary place. Especially big fandoms. There's so much to read, so much to see, so many people who all seem to know each other. It's easy to get overwhelmed.
But then there are people like you. People who are so passionate about fic and art and our silly little blorbos. People who reach out into the community and elevate other people. People who love fandom and support writers and artists and podficcers and mood-board makers and don't spend so much time talking about how good other people are.
I joined Drarry fandom close to three years ago? Maybe? And was both spoiled and overwhelmed by all the creations people had made. There are so many good things given to me, for free. It was a wealth of riches.
One of those creators is @sitp-recs. Now, she's not as active as she used to be, real life being an absolute bitch to us all, but Liv has given hours and hours of her time to the HP community in the two years since she started her blog.
Recs aren't easy. I've done some here and there and it's one thing to read a fic and leave a quick comment (looks at all the times I've typed 'this is amazing/gorgeous/perfect/insert your platitude here') but Liv had always taken that a step further and that just amazes me.
Liv has done individual fic recs, themed rec lists, has been a resource for fic finding, and she's done it all while being a person who has a life outside of fandom.
Somehow (I have no idea how I am so fortunate) I've gotten to know Liv over the last year-ish and let me tell you, she's not only a good fandom friend, she's genuinely a good person. She's funny and snarky when needed, kind all of the time, and her heart is so big it makes mine ache. She loves with all of her heart, and it shows in every rec post she's made and every interactionshe has with her friends. Liv is generous and has given the fandom so much.
So thank you, Liv. Thank you for everything you've done. I'm so honored to know you and call you my friend. You're a lovely, beautiful person and all of our lives are better because of you.
I've always called fic reccers curators of fandom, and everything you've done for us has solidified that statement.
I'm so glad we're celebrating you today, because you've celebrated all of us so much.

Omggg @sitp-recs Liv of all Livness, first of her name, Queen of reccing, the doyenne of fic-reccery. Its your two-year tumblr-versary!!!! 🎉
What can I say about this kind, enthusiastic member of fandom, who raises people up and brings such joy to creators and readers alike? Only that you're a lovely person, and awesome in every way. One who writes recs that make grown adults weep in gratitude over a single carefully crafted sentence about their work. And who's introduced me personally to so many fics I might have missed and converted me to kinks and pairings I might have never sampled. A Drarry fan but also a staunch supporter of rarer pairs, which is why I've strayed from my usual wheelhouse to write a little Harry x Sirius for you, Miss Sit-pee.
I hope you like, Liv!
Mischief Managed
(Explicit, 1.7k words, Harry x Sirius, tags: Cross-gen, age gap, wall sex)
Summary:
Nothing has been said, nothing solemnly sworn, but they both know what's going to happen. They've known from the minute Sirius suggested this weekend away by the beach.
Thanks as always to my wee pal and fellow scone-scoffer @tackytigerfic for the beta.

Dralbus | T | 1.7k | Weddings and storms and the bittersweet feeling when your straight friend and sometime crush gets married (but at least his dad's hot, right?)
Massive thanks to @tackytigerfic for the fab beta <3
Summary:
This is everything, Scorp had said earlier, still giddy from the ceremony. I love you two, you know that? He had one arm around my shoulders, tugging me into him, and the other around Rose’s waist. Everyone I love, right here in one place. He turned to me, then, pressed a smacking kiss to my cheek, Rose giggling behind him. I hope – Al, he said, ardent as ever, I hope one day you get this lucky. You deserve it. Everything you want.
Everything I want.
If only I knew what that was.

I wrote this, my first foray into cross-gen, for the lovely @sitp-recs, who's been gracing fandom with her presence for two whole years now. When I was but a wee-un, staying up late into the night to devour longfic after longfic on my phone, months before I even dreamt of writing anything myself (or even had a Tumblr), I used to check out the latest sitp-recs rec to find my newest obsession. I discovered so many of my faves (and now my friends) through Liv, and I just thought it's worth thinking about the sheer number of people who are probably doing the same as I did, right now. When I finally started writing, I remember thinking to myself that getting a sitp-recs rec would be like the highest fandom accolade. I couldn't believe it the day it finally happened!
I only got chatting to Liv after joining fandom last year; we had friends in common and everyone was telling me how lovely she was, and of course they were absolutely right. It's been great to get to know you, Liv, and to have someone else to shout about all my favourite fics with. I hope you're having a wonderful day and feeling thoroughly loved and spoiled <3
(also, have a banner that I would hate to go unused!)
