Summary:

Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece. But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite. Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

Excerpt:

“Did you want a tour? I’m afraid the conservatory is still under construction and we’re remodelling the west wing,” Potter said with a smirk and crossed the room to the icebox. He fished out a couple of beers and offered one to Draco, tilting it in his direction with eyebrows raised in question.

Draco didn’t want another drink, already buzzed, but he stepped up to him, standing too close. He took one of the beer bottles from Potter’s hand, then the other, and set them both on the counter behind him. 

Potter’s eyes narrowed as Draco placed a hand on either side of Potter’s hips, fingers curled around the edge of the counter, caging him in. They stood that way for a moment, not touching, though it was a very near thing. But then Potter inhaled deeply, his chest puffing, brushing against Draco’s, and it was as if something in him broke, because Potter lunged forward, wrapping one hand around the back of Draco’s neck, crushing his mouth against Draco’s. 

Draco sucked in a breath and parted his lips, tilting his chin and slotting their mouths together. At that first wet brush of Potter’s tongue, Draco’s stomach pulled achingly tight, heat flooding his gut and spreading outward until even his fingertips tingled. Draco tightened his hold on the counter as he pressed forward, aligning their hips and swallowing Potter’s responding groan. 

Potter’s grip at the back of Draco’s neck was firm and unyielding, the tips of his fingers pressing into the notches of Draco’s spine, settling between the bones like they were made to rest there. There was no shyness in Potter’s kiss, no sweet swipes of tongue or teasing softness, but rather a ferocity, a growling hunger as he plunged his tongue past Draco’s lips, consuming him. 

It was less of a kiss and more of a war, a fight for dominance, and one that Draco very much intended to win. Draco relished the slick slide of his mouth against Potter’s already swollen lips, sucking his tongue when it pressed past his teeth. He let Potter have his way for a time, let him nip and bite, pressing back against all the places where Draco had him pinned. 

He hadn’t even touched Potter yet, hadn’t reached for flesh or pushed his hands beneath clothing, though he wanted to. He kept his hands on the counter, his knuckles bleached white from the effort. The kiss he returned was controlled; his tongue fucking into Potter’s mouth, slow and languid. He could feel Potter’s frustration and the tension building in his muscles. 

Potter’s hands dragged from Draco’s neck to the front of his shirt, gripping the collar in the hand of his uninjured arm. He crumpled the fabric in his fist, winding it around the back of his hand, and tugged sharply. Draco heard the seams creak, pulled to the point of tearing, and Draco’s hand flew up to stop him, fingers locking around Potter’s wrist in a punishing grip.

“Don’t you dare,” Draco growled against Potter’s lips, the bones in Potter’s wrist grinding beneath his fingers as he twisted Potter’s hand away. 

Potter smirked against his mouth, his tongue darting out to flick over Draco’s bottom lip, then his top, before curling back behind his teeth. “And if I do?”

Draco loosened his hold for barely half a second, just enough time to crank Potter’s arm behind him and pin it against his back. Potter hissed, eyes fluttering. “I like this shirt, I’ll not let you ruin it.”

But then Potter dropped his other hand and hooked two fingers into Draco's belt loop and tugged him closer, rocking his hips up so Draco could feel the substantial bulge in his jeans. The pressure against Draco’s aching cock lit a fire in his belly, and his control snapped like a rubber band pulled to its breaking point.

Draco relaxed his iron grip on the counter, half expecting to see indents left by his fingers, and plunged a hand into Potter’s hair, wrenching his head back to expose his throat. He sucked a mark into the skin, nipping at Potter’s jaw, scraping his teeth across the stubble, his tongue and mouth leaving wet trails in their path. He released Potter’s wrist and yanked aside the neck of his vest, sinking his teeth into the exposed and tender strip of flesh where Potter’s throat met his shoulder. Potter groaned, deep and low, his hips canting up, his cock grinding hard against Draco’s. 

Fuck, it was good.

[kk1smet]

I recently finished Never Mind the Bollocks by The_Sinking_Ship. Since that day, it has been living in my head rent-free, and will remain there. Perhaps for a long, long time.

Every time I try to collect my thoughts to articulate every single thing I loved about a fic, I just end up screaming and dying with the feels. So instead of words, here’s some drawn lines (and more screaming).

#Never Mind The Bollocks #Written by: The_Sinking_Ship #Art inspired by Fic #drarry #draco malfoy #harry james potter #drarry fic #my art #kismet draws #artists on tumblr #Skater!Harry has officially reigned in my system #I am not normal about this fic

[littlewinnow]

Hello, i am un love with your art!! Absolutely besoyted if you will. I was having a pretty bad art block and your sketches are such a help for inspiration! <3

I was curious about what your favourite drarry trope is? Something that you really enjoy drawing and/or reading?

Omg!!! Thank you sm, I'm glad my work provided inspiration!!! 😭😭

In terms of drawing, I adore domestic/Drarry as fathers! I love coming up with tender/funny family comic moments. (I have too many ideas for them hehe)

For reading, there are these two specific kinds of fics(tropes?) that I always enjoyed. One of them is Harry (or Draco?) living away from the city working with animals or just being peaceful and the other ends up involved in their life again. (something along those lines)

Fic examples:

Through the May Air, Over the Ocean by tsauergrass

Sweet Creature by bananagege, bribitribbit

Stop and Stare by Saras_Girl

Another is Draco in a way courting/wooing/ taking care of Harry when he's in a bit of a rough patch? And Harry looking his way and noticing him more?? I'm probably just describing (Soup-pocalypse and the great curry cataclysm by SquadOfCats) but I love this dynamic.

#me #drarry #sorry this got long #i have so many drarry dad wips and ideas my list is huge in my drafts like... #i need to find more fics of Draco doting/spoiling on harry or wanting to drown harry in love #the fic Finely Drawn Lines by The_Sinking_Ship kinda does that

[sitp-recs]

Do you have any fic recommendations where Draco very desperately loves Harry? To the point of wanting to take care of everything for him?

Thank you for all your suggestions i really love reading through them :)

Hi anon! Thank you, I’m happy to know you enjoy the recs 💜 here are some fics with a “hopelessly in love” Draco for you:

And I Know the Spark by firethesound (E, 15k)

All Draco cares about is keeping Potter alive, and he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.

The Green Vial by eidheann (E, 31k)

After months of seeing Harry Potter walk into his Apothecary disappointed and hopeless, Draco offers to carry the baby that Harry can't. Now he's just got to hide the fact that he's been half in love with Harry for years.

The Boy Who Only Lived Twice by lettered (E, 54k)

Harry Potter is an Unspeakable. Draco Malfoy is the wizard who shagged him. Adventure! Intrigue! Secret identities, celebrities, spies! It's all right here, folks.

Tea and No Sympathy by who_la_hoop (E, 70k)

It's Potter's fault, of course, that Draco finds himself trapped in the same twenty-four-hour period, repeating itself over and over again. It's been nearly a year since the unpleasant business at Hogwarts, and Draco's getting on with his life quite nicely, thank you, until Harry sodding Potter steps in and ruins it all, just like always.

Criminal by The_Sinking_Ship (E, 83k)

Things were going just fine for Draco Malfoy. He successfully conned and counted cards across Europe and America, amassing a small fortune, along with a lengthy rap sheet. That was until he made the grave mistake of returning to England for a high stakes card game and got himself caught – by Harry Potter no less.

I Am Not Who I Became by mab_di (E, 93k)

Draco left England after the trials and has travelled the world meeting wizards and Muggles from different cultures and with vastly different relationships to magic, each other, and the natural world. Now he's a fisherman in Finland on commercial vessels. Harry has been struggling since the war and has become a recluse while trying to write his autobiography.

A Thousand Beautiful Things by geoviki (M, 104k)

Draco Malfoy struggles with changed fortunes, shifted alliances, an ugly war, and an unusual spell, with the help of a concerned professor, an insightful house-elf, and an unexpected Gryffindor friend.

Turning Leaves by Kbrick (E, 112k)

Draco and Harry have a one-night stand that ends in disaster after Harry tells Draco he's unable to move beyond their poisonous past. So when Draco finds an unusual Time-Turner in the Department of Mysteries, he seizes the opportunity to start fresh with Harry. Only instead of fixing things, he keeps making them worse.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

By the Grace by lettered (E, 140k)

Harry is an Auror instructor. Malfoy wants to be an Auror.

Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 (T, 302k)

Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

Author rec : The_Sinking_Ship

The_Sinking_Ship is one of my favorite authors. Here are a few recs, listed in alphabetical order.

Chasing Dragons by @the-sinking-ship [98k]

Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either.

Criminal by @the-sinking-ship [83k]

Things were going just fine for Draco Malfoy. He successfully conned and counted cards across Europe and America, amassing a small fortune, along with a lengthy rap sheet. That was until he made the grave mistake of returning to England for a high stakes card game and got himself caught – by Harry Potter no less. Now, Draco is stuck in England under Auror Potter’s guard with no friends, no distractions, and no escape. How the hell will he pass the time? And since when did Potter get so bloody fit?

Dwelling on Dreams by @the-sinking-ship [135k]

Draco thought he could avoid Potter for the duration of his brief return to England. He’d stick to his schedule and be back home in Paris, where he belonged, in a few short months. No trouble at all. He had plenty to occupy him, what with the opening of the London branch of his successful apothecary, his innovative research, drinks with Pansy, a backlog of unread potions periodicals. Except Head Auror Potter is everywhere — in Draco's chair, at his door, in his dreams. All six feet of motorbike-riding, combat-boot-wearing, sex-hair-sporting Saviour of the World packed into one unfairly fetching uniform. Potter won’t leave Draco the bloody hell alone, won’t let him breathe, let him forget, let him sleep. Because no matter how fast Draco Malfoy runs, Harry Potter is always hot on his heels.

Finely Drawn Lines by @the-sinking-ship [61k]

Draco doesn’t consider himself an artist (though the dozens of sketchbooks lining his shelves might suggest differently). Yet ever since Potter returned to Hogwarts, accepting a teaching position alongside Draco, his drawings have taken on a rather singular focus. From the curl of his lips to the exact number of lines that form at the corners of his eyes when he laughs, Draco has catalogued every shade of one Harry James Potter between the pages of his sketchbook. So long as Potter remains none the wiser, Draco will have no trouble controlling his crush. But when Potter comes to him with a dangerous proposition, Draco fears things are about to get so much more complicated.

Never Mind the Bollocks  by @the-sinking-ship [118k]

If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked. And yet, here he was.

Nights With You by @the-sinking-ship [58k]

Draco is mortified when moments prior to departing for the most anticipated destination wedding of the year, he is cruelly dumped. But when he learns that Harry Potter has, at long last, split with his horrible boyfriend, Draco is certain his luck has changed. Never a man to squander an opportunity for revenge (and what would probably be a spectacular shag), Draco vows to make Potter his for the weekend. Now all Draco has to do is convince him.

On Target by @the-sinking-ship [13k]

A charity dunk tank, some sorry excuses for friends, a Slytherin with freakishly good aim, a (mostly) empty locker room, and one very small towel. Because, apparently, everyone is dying to get Harry Potter wet.

Sugar Sweet by @the-sinking-ship [5k]

Draco thinks everyone forgot his birthday. (They didn’t.)

Things We Do by @the-sinking-ship [16k]

Drinking, dancing, and the sorts of decisions made after one too many shots of vodka.

'Tis a Far Better Thing by @the-sinking-ship [37k]

'Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people — or however the Muggle saying goes — because Potter is in need of professional help, and Draco is just the man to give it to him. A Drarry Clueless AU.

The Unspeakable by @the-sinking-ship [24k]

Healer Draco Malfoy took the job at the International Department of Mysteries for the paycheck and the prestige. But what he got was Unspeakable Harry Potter and the most fascinating curse he’d ever seen.

I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did!

An anthology of works by @the-sinking-ship

Volume I includes: Stupid Love, Quicksilver and Phoenix Fire, Criminal, Sweet Indulgence, Like Gold, Intention, Sugar Sweet, ‘Tis a Far Better Thing

Volume II includes: Things We Do, Dwelling on Dreams, On Target

Happy birthday, Sly! When you asked me the other day what project I was working on, I was so glad we weren’t face-to-face because I have a terrible poker face and the truth was I was working on this surprise birthday gift for you. Your writing is brilliant--sharp and witty, imaginative, vivid, full of tension, angsty, hot, tender, and everything else you could wish for--and it’s so amazing to have it all collected in these two volumes for you (minus the two other stories you’ve already got on your shelves). I hope you have a day that’s as lovely as you are!

I got to have more fun with edge speckling, bookmark charms, and multi-volume spine painting for these books which are three of my favorite things to do with books right now! I also went a little wild with water and ship imagery inspired by Sly’s username, The_Sinking_Ship. Like with Tit for Tat, I had the amazing opportunity to work with the incredibly talented @babooshkart on these books--they did the gorgeous wave art that’s found on the spines and on each title page and a whole new piece of art for Intention (more on that in the art post for this book because wow was there a lot of stunning art to include in these volumes)! These two books were made in a whirlwind in the last 2ish weeks, and I’m really happy with how they turned out! Fun fact: the first volume is officially the longest book I’ve bound so far at over 600 pages.

Fic Recs Wrap Up -April 2022

you’ve got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass

When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he’s made it very clear he doesn’t want. He’s never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try. Rec Post

Dress Me Up In My Finest Silk by Hatsonhamburgers @hatsonhamburgers

Draco has a secret. It's soft and lacy, and it hugs his body in a way that makes him feel so sexy.

Harry may have accidentally seen Draco's secret, and now it's all he can think about. Rec Post

Lessons in Grace and Decorum by GallaPlacidia

In Azkaban, Narcissa Malfoy gives Draco lessons in how to manipulate people into loving him. When Draco is released on the condition that he is bonded to Harry as his prisoner, he finally has a chance to put his newfound skills into practice. Forced bonding, eighth year (eventually), a Draco driven slightly mad by grief, a furious, self-destructive Harry, a whole lot of angst and a proportionate amount of comfort. Rec Post

Fast Forward, Two Steps Back by emmagrant01

Everyone knows that Draco Malfoy died in the Room of Requirement ten years ago. So when he suddenly reappears at Hogwarts ten years later, still seventeen years old, Professor Harry Potter’s life gets very complicated. Rec Post

Stupid Love by The_Sinking_Ship @the-sinking-ship

Harry Potter, how does Draco Malfoy hate thee? Let me count the ways. Rec Post

I Want to be With You (I’m Good at It) by punk_rock_yuppie @punk-rock-yuppie

Draco was banned from the wizarding world after the events of the war; he reintegrates himself slowly, with unexpected results. Rec Post

Accidental Magic by vivi1138 @penguinanimagus

After the war, Draco left the magical world. He doesn’t lead the easiest life, doesn’t sleep enough and has another mouth to feed. He doesn’t expect to be forced to go back early, but when his son’s accidental magic threatens the Statute of Secrecy, there’s only one person who can help.

Expectant by loveglowsinthedark @l0vegl0wsinthedark

After he accidentally gets Malfoy pregnant on a drunken fuck at a club, Harry doesn't anticipate that it'd be just as easy to fall in love with him. Rec Post 1, 2

Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well! (ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Vis-à-Vis-à-Vis by Vukovich @vukovich

Harry's assignment was simple. Close out Draco Malfoy's missing persons case so he can be declared dead.

But who's making withdrawals from Malfoy's vaults? How is a death omen-turned-Unspeakable involved? Is an organization known as the Moirai to blame?

Harry brushes it off until he can't. Until The Prophet is flooded with sightings of dead people. Until Robards throws himself on his sword. Until Ron turns on his own family. Until Harry scarcely trusts his own reflection in the mirror and trusts the stranger in his bed even less.

Until all that stands between war and peace is Harry, a name plate, a stadium of murderers, and Draco Malfoy.

God save the Ministry.

DIY Messiah by scoradh

Harry stopped hating Draco Malfoy on Bring Your Kids to Work Day.

Harry Potter and the Chariot of the Sun by Philosopherscribe

Hot on the trail of a Dementor-worshipping cult, Harry plays a dangerous game with an old enemy.

Little Deaths and How to Avoid Them (or Draco Malfoy's Guide to Stop Dying and Start Living Instead) by dustmouth, nerakrose @greaseonmymouth

Malfoy is way too interested in coroner reports for somebody who's definitely not looking for ways to die, Harry wants to be friends with him, and Ginny wants to break up with Harry.

Features: Little League Quidditch, an abundance of bath bombs, happy endings, and gay robots in space.

The Garland Gay by Vaysh @vaysh11

Draco Malfoy has it all – – sex, money, power. But a family secret threatens to become the undoing of the successful head of Malfoy Bank. His troubles bring him to private investigator Harry Potter, who lost it all – girlfriend, Galleons, Auror career – – over a tenacious obsession with a certain blond. Both become entangled in the vengeful schemes of a stranger from the past. As much as Draco tries to resist, in the end, he must make a fateful choice for the man he is destined to love.

( •ॢ◡-ॢ)-♡

I hope you enjoy these as much as I have! Thanks, as always, for being here! ( ᵕ́ૢ‧̮ᵕ̀ૢ)‧̊·*

Happy reading, y’all!

Clubbing (part 2)

hii I’m alive!! finals were horrible but I’m finally done and can come back to tumblr :) hope you guys like these fics :)

Postcards From Italy (iota / @sorrybutblog) (E, 6k)

A pool party, a nightclub, a bathtub. Draco Malfoy is the last person Harry expected to run into the summer before his third year of university, but he's not complaining (at least not anymore).

Little Compton Street (One Rainy Night in Soho) (LLAP115 / @celilasart, Writcraft / @writcraft) (E, 65k)

Draco is lonely, Harry hates the press and it won’t stop raining in London. Harry discovers a magical street that’s close to disappearing forever and Draco realises he’s one rainy night in Soho away from finding everything he’s been searching for.

Take These Lies (pennygalleon / @pennygalleon) (E, 19k)

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.

An Aching Soul (Writcraft / @writcraft) (M, 14k)

I can’t help but wonder if Potter’s really as fine as he claims to be. There’s something strange about seeing the vanilla hero of the wizarding world eye-fucking someone across a crowded bar before slipping off into the shadows

Draco Malfoy escapes to the Muggle world to avoid his parents, memories of the war and Harry Potter. However, some things prove harder to escape than others as Draco realises when his favourite Muggle haunt is rudely invaded by a post-war Harry who is struggling to cope with grief, growing up and the battle with his inner demons.

Things We Do (The_Sinking_Ship / @the-sinking-ship) (E, 16k)

Drinking, dancing, and the sorts of decisions made after one too many shots of vodka.

Hey, Are you aware of any secret relationship fics that are angsty, like people flirting with either or not able to stake your claim. Does that make sense?

Hi, anon! It’s been a while since I last read secret relationship fics so I can’t remember if all of these have the flirting element you’re looking for, but I think you might enjoy these:

Mad Blood Stirring by provocative_envy (E, 3k) - Hockey AU

It's not like they've been angrily hooking up on the sly since meeting at a Juniors skills camp in fucking Manitoba four years ago, except that's exactly what they've been doing.

Intention by The_Sinking_Ship (E, 7k)

Harry really ought to listen to whatever Ron is saying, but it becomes impossible to focus when a familiar figure across the pub curls his fingers around another man’s tie. And when that man leans in with a wolfish smile, Harry sees red, and all he can think is mine.

Kiss by xErised (T, 10k)

For the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, it's not Ron that Harry rescues from the Great Lake, but Draco Malfoy. Hogwarts-era.

And Back Again (Where You Belong) by eidheann (E, 16k)

He thought back on their previous handshakes, and smiled faintly at the fact they always seemed to mean so much more to him than they did to Potter.

This is Never Happening Again by hpleems (M, 32k)

“Potter,” Malfoy said, shaking his head. “Do I look like I care about your holiday plans? Trust me: this is *never* happening again.”

Red Thread (that will lead me home to you) by xErised (E, 35k)

It takes four years of travelling and mutual pining for Harry to realise that Malfoy is the only one for him. Of course, he has to express his feelings in the most scandalous way possible—by stopping Malfoy's very proper, very pureblood wedding.

Far From The Tree by aideomai (E, 112k)

The arrival of Harry Potter’s children—snapped back in time, the children themselves guessed, twenty or so years—was the most interesting thing to happen at Hogwarts for years.

Twist of Fate by Oakstone730 (T, 300k)

Draco asks Harry to help him beat the Imperius curse during 4th year. The lessons turn into more than either expected. A story of redemption and forgiveness.

Summary:

Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.

But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.

Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

What I loved:

Okay, so this is not the first rec I have made of @the-sinking-ship’s work and it probably will not be the last, because I am absolutely in love with their characterization of Draco. He is by far my favorite Draco I have read recently, and his voice is so clear and resonates so much with me, and his inner voice is just so spot on. I adore the way he is written and he makes this story such a stand-out.

Okay, fake dating is my favorite trope hands down. I fall for it every single time, and this story is no exception. Except this time it’s fake dating, but Harry is also a fearless ( and reckless) dragon tamer. That just takes the whole thing up a notch. The story is hot, tender, sweet, filled with amazing moments and has a ton of heart. I love the world- building here, and this author has a way with telling a story that is so emotional and just makes you feel all the feels. I read this in one go, and immediately wanted to just start it over right back from the beginning just to experience it again.

And once again I’ve stumbled on a lovely story supplemented with wonderful art by @babooshkart and @fictional that also needs to be mentioned.
