Sorry for the delay!
Claiming is now open for DTH 2025!
This post provides the information on how to make a claim for fic/art/podfic for the @dracotops-harry Fest 2025. Please read carefully.
Claiming will close on March 28th
Please make sure to read the rules before claiming a prompt. Rules are here.
The PROMPTS are here: Draco tops Harry Prompt List 2025
SIGN UP as an author/artist here --> LINK
SIGN UP as a podficcer here --> LINK
Reminders:
• Prompt claiming is on a first-come, first-claimed basis.
• Sign-ups are done via a Google Form (see above).
• You must state your first, second, and third choices for a prompt when you claim.
• Each prompt can be claimed once for art and once for fic. A prompt can also be claimed for fic AND art.
• Please state whether you are claiming for fic or for art.
• Yes, you may claim your own prompt. :) Just tell us in the Sign-up form.
• You can claim only one prompt at a time. You may claim another prompt once you submit your first fic/art to the mods. You may claim up to three prompts. (Exception: You claim a prompt for both fic and art.)
How prompt claiming works:
If your first prompt choice still needs to be claimed, it's yours! If your first choice is already claimed, you will get your second choice. If your second choice is already claimed, you will get your third choice. If your third choice is claimed, we will ask you to submit another three choices.
If you only want to request one prompt, that is perfectly fine. Take the risk of it being claimed, and you start over.
Once you fill out the Sign-up Form, you will receive an email from the mods about which of your claimed prompts you got and how to submit your fic, art, or Podfic. Please be patient. It may take up to 48 hours until we manage to send out all emails to fest participants.
We will update the Prompt List ASAP to indicate which prompts have already been claimed.
How to sign up to record a podfic:
Please make sure to read the Info Post about Podficcing before signing up to Podfic for the dracotops_harry Fest.
Reminders:
• All podfics must be H/D and top!Draco. In this Fest, switching between the boys is not allowed.
• You need to get permission from the author before you submit your Podfic to us.
• If you would like to Podfic a story but haven't decided yet, please sign up now and let us know which story you have chosen before March 28, 2025.
Any questions or concerns? Please email us at [email protected] or comment on this post.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Posting is NOT anonymous, but sign-ups are anonymous. This means that after signing up and receiving your assignment, please refrain from informing the world what you're writing or creating art for. You can discuss in the open that you're writing for DTH and may ask friends for help, but please use your discretion. Do not be like, "OMG, I GOT PROMPT 88 FOR DTH--" But you can discuss with your friends in private or in chat forms (aka discord) - we still want to have some secrets, anonymity, and fun.
If you have questions, please email us at [email protected]

Why did Harry use only Expelliarmus on Voldemort but Sectumsempra on Draco? Also, if Expelliarmus was Harry's go to spell why use Sectumsempra when he could use it against Draco's Crucio?
Harry fights Draco really differently than he fights everyone else.
So okay. Normally when he fights, Harry's go-to spells are:
Impedimenta (slow down)
Petrificus Totalus (paralyze)
Stupefy (knock out)
Expelliarmus (disarm)
Which means his strategy is get away from/incapacitate his opponent as quickly as possible and that's IT. Harry is not a flashy or creative fighter the way Dumbledore, Voldemort, and heck even side characters like Percy are. Which makes perfect sense. Fighting has never been a game for Harry. It's never been abstract. He'll do all these badass things but when he talks about fighting (like we see during the DA segments) he's not thinking about it like it's something interesting or cool. He's picturing going up against a more powerful opponent, probably while injured and scared. And what's the best thing to have in that situation? Four useful, all-purpose spells that you've practiced enough times that you don't have to think about them anymore.
Zachariah Smith gives Harry a hard time for relying on a spell as "basic" as expelliarmus, which tells us that in-universe, Harry's stripped-down dueling style might be considered kind of plain or boring. But Harry's a very effective duelist, probably because he is so practical. He doesn't care about showing off, looking powerful, or intimidating his opponents.
... except when he's fighting specifically Draco.
When he's fighting DRACO MALFOY, Harry brings out the fun spells:
Rictusempra (tickling)
Furnunculus (boils)
Leg-Locker jinx
Levicorpus (levitate by ankle)
Toenail-growing hex
And also Sectumsempra, which he THINKS is going to be another embarrassing/fun spell, because levicorpus and the toenail-growing hex also came out of the Half-Blood Prince's textbook, and Harry thinks this third spell is going to be another one like that.
So my conclusion is that Harry just kind of... uniquely enjoys fighting with Draco. He's not trying to end the encounter as fast as possible, there probably is some element where he wants to show off, hit Draco with something new or something clever. Harry and Draco have a dynamic where it's *fun* to one-up/get the upper hand over each other, and duels are perfect for that.
To me this is a very natural extension of Harry's "lets plot hypothetical ways to get Malfoy expelled" (which he does with Ron, for fun) and "lets try to figure out what Suspicious Thing Malfoy is up to now" (one of Harry's very favorite pastimes.) So long story short - when Harry fights Draco, he fights like a teenager. When he fights anyone else, he fights like an auror.

When it's been three hours already and your husband just popped his hip

I did this piece for @julcheninred and the Draw Drarry Badly Challenge, which I have never participated in before for an unknown reason?? !! I've wanted to try drawing for a long time but never got around to it, so I have almost zero experience, so unfortunately I did spend three hours trying really hard on this, LOL. I am extremely thrilled to finally use the tag MY ART. Behold, ye mighty, and despair!!!

Thinking about this fest <3 <3
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8493ff625328923383a2ab369ba79134/eb1dad560ba74f63-eb/s540x810/13aa628df7ac5956cd0df72515d5a76dae94f7b3.jpg)
Hello everyone!
I'm Gin and I have been granted the privilege of taking over the Draco Tops Harry Fest for 2025. It was run amazingly for many years and I'm hoping we can continue that.
As for why I'm posting: I wanted let everyone know that DTH will be coming back in 2025, however, we do not have dates set yet. My co-mods and I have to get together to discuss and determine the timeline. As soon as we have everything solidified, I will be posting a Save The Date announcement on here along with the Fest Rules. Please leave an Ask if you have any questions.
Thank you for reading and I really hope you can join us for DTH Fest next year!

Lovely!! So glad you enjoyed my gift. I’ll need to check out the other recs 💕
Shivvy's favs of HP Secret Santa Rare Pairs
In December I participated in HP Secret Santa Rare Pairs 2024!
I read a lot (but not all) of the fics, and I would like to highlight my favourites 💕
As of Jan 8th, I have read about 103 fics out of the approx 129 of the creative writing category works! The remaining fics I either skimmed and decided they weren’t my cuppa or I still have them on my to-read list.
Again, this is completely just subjective and to my own particular tastes (which lean very heavily towards queer content). All of the writing and other creations were amazing contributions to different corners of the fandom and I know we all did our best to create amazing gifts for our giftees! Reminder: I don’t wish to receive any comments that fall out of the range of the three basic fandom courtesies: YKINMKBYKIO - Your Kink Is Not My Kink, But Your Kink Is Ok || SALS Ship And Let Ship || DL;DR - Don’t Like; Don’t Read
Yah so - if you don’t like, don’t read, n' don’t reply anything negative at me. Thank you! 💕 * But if you notice some info or link errors please let me know (tired eyes). 💛 = my brief squee/comments
Gifts I Received
Thank you so much to my gift writers! I included so many ship requests and was so happy to see I got Severus twice kekeke. 🎁 Fragile Bonds by @picklesonjupiter / picklesonsaturday 💕 Sirius/Severus || T || 309 words Sirius seeks healing from Snape, but their complicated history and growing feelings make the process more challenging. 💛 I love Severus’ hands… I love Severus being adept at using his hands… I love Severus being adept at using his hands on another man…! On Sirius! LOVE. 🎁 No Need to Hide Under These Friday Night Lights by @maraudersaffair / maraudersaffair 💕 James/Severus || E || 5,096 words James Potter is the most popular boy in school. He's even the star quarterback on the football team. And for some strange reason, he won't stop staring at Severus Snape. 💛 I swooned when I realised I’d get non-magical High School AU Princechaser!! It is so sweet and so smutty, I love it!
Fics I Went Feral For (reverse alphabetical by pairing)
🎁 the gift that keeps on giving by @the-invisibility-bloke / the_invisibility_bloke 💕 Teddy/Draco/Harry || E || 12,993 words There’s only one thing Teddy wants for Christmas: to lose his virginity. 💛 I went feral for this fic and am now obsessed with Tedrarry - the wit, the pacing, the pining, the smut…! All the comments for this are rave reviews, please read it and other fics by the author! (they write a lot of Sirry and other pairs too)
🎁 Hold onto this lullaby (even when the music's gone) by @knotsnuffles / objectlesson 💕 Sirius/Harry || E || 8,345 words The truth is, Harry doesn’t just want Sirius buying him fine robes and dressing him in them—in his heart of hearts, he wants Sirius to take him out of these robes, too. 💛 Another unstoppably fantastic Sirry fic by objectlesson! Mind the tags and if it’s your jam, curl up for fluff/smut and Sirius taking care of Harry.
🎁 speeding through red lights (into paradise) by @the-invisibility-bloke / the_invisibility_bloke 💕 Sirius/Harry || E || 9,975 words Just before fifth year, true to form, Harry does something very brave and very foolish. 💛 This turns the dial for ‘Harry Pining for Sirius’ up to max Brilliant prose by the author, highly recommend if the tags make it seem like your thing.
🎁 Pink Aster - Days Gone By by @trueliarose / Trueliarose 💕 Severus/Charlie || E || 45,664 words Fire melts ice, or so they say. Severus just hadn't thought that that applied to the ice in one's soul as well. Or, When Charlie Weasley came to Hogwarts to accompany the dragons for the triwizard turnament, he met Severus Snape. But can a short affair turn into a lovestory? 💛 This long fic has my whole heart! Severus is written wonderfully, the sex is spot on, and the atmosphere and Charlie’s care is just chef’s kiss! It spans canon and my heart aches along with Severus and Charlie as they fall in love amidst the war.
🎁 Rematch by p0intless_p0et 💕 Pansy/Ginny || T || 2,239 words In a cold, dark Hogwarts, ruled by fear and suspicion, Pansy Parkinson and Ginny Weasley find an unlikely spark on a makeshift Quidditch Field, and, much to everyone's amusement, only one of them can play Quidditch. 💛 The characterisation is just perfect, the atmosphere of Book 7 Hogwarts is stunning, and I thoroughly enjoyed this and reread it already, perfect Ginsy rivalry.
🎁 Teacups & Tankards by @schmem14 / Schmem_14 💕 Madam Puddifoot/Madam Rosmerta || M || 9,589 words Bea and Ros are best friends who learn love and trust as they suffer loss and heartbreak during the Second Wizarding War. 💛 AAAH ITS SO SWEET AND EMOTIONAL and they are perfect for each other, please, come meet these sweet ladies with their slow romance kicking off during the hardships of war. It’s infused with so much heart and sexiness, I cannot recommend this enough!
🎁 Rotten Roots by p0intless_p0et 💕 Neville/Draco || G || 2,335 words Draco Malfoy has everything he needs to complete Snape's potions work, everything but the ingredients. Neville is the Herbology professor at Hogwarts, he'll give Draco what he needs, at a price. 💛 Draco laced with guilt, and Neville's gentle hand guiding him close, showing Draco he knows him, and can be there for him. It’s suuuch a brilliant set up for a Dreville, it makes your heart ache for Draco, and Neville is so solid and steady and supportive!
🎁 Carry A Piece Of Me by @skywatcherrose / sky_watcher_rose 💕 Narcissa/Minerva || M || 3,471 words In the aftermath of a lost war, Narcissa and Minerva are just doing their best to survive - and perhaps take a little pleasure along the way. 💛 These two women, loving each other and holding strong as part of the feeble underground resistance… I love the tenderness of their intimacy during the darkness of war. Amazing portrait of these women!
🎁 A Tale of Two Tonks Women by @midnightstargazer / MidnightStargazer 💕 Andromeda & Nymphadora || T || 3,632 words Throughout her life, Tonks defies her mother’s expectations. Andromeda couldn't be prouder of her. 💛 I felt like I never understood Andromeda until this character study piece which is all about Tonks and her mother’s relationship. Very worth the read, thought provoking!
Fics I Want to Highlight (reverse alphabetical by pairing)
🎁 Brightest Witch and Brightest Star by @jinrosemoon / JinRoseMoon 💕 Sirius/Hermione || M || 511 words
🎁 The Tabby Teapot by @celestemagnoliathewriter / CelesteMagnolia 💕 Seamus/Dean & Minerva/Poppy || T || 8,768 words

🎁 The Heat of the Moment by @schmem14 / Schmem_14 💕 Marcus/Percy || E || 8,638 words
🎁 Live for Today by @schmem14 / Schmem_14 💕 Marcus/Oliver || M || 2,273
🎁 Ron Weasley: GILF Hunter by @alyceofthetogas / AlyceoftheTogas 💕 Madam Puddifoot/Ron || E || 2,456 words
🎁 Look What We Found by @daydreamingfoxglove / DayDreamingFoxglove 💕 Luna/Pansy || T || 3,048 words
