Writing Prompt #2352

"Can't you think about anything other than vengeance? Have you tried finding happiness any other way?"

"Have you tried having to live with knowing everyone you've ever cared about was killed just because you love them?"

[scarheadelf]

This is the kinda news that should be on mainstream media, instead of the nonsense being spewed there

Menaka Guruswamy and Arundhati Katju if you wanna find out more about them!

Can the world just be run by gorgeous, brilliant, heart-lead lesbians already?

“Whatever You Want, Draco Malfoy” [Tumblr - Ao3 - Wattpad] chapter 30, commission for @dorthyanndrarry 💕

[scarheadelf]

I just read a post that said “what if there’s a parallel universe where fictional characters are real and real life characters are fictional characters and your favourite character runs a blog about you”

Does that mean that my author is sitting somewhere in a parallel universe in a dark room with drink in their hand and staring at the FUCKING BLINKING CURSOR and got no idea what to do with me next?

Is that why my life is stuck in the same spot all this time? 🤔🤔🤔😪😪

2021.07 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3

1. Two Houses by @keepcalmandexpectopatronum934 [E, 231k]

►[…] Harry and Draco have returned to Hogwarts to complete their final year of education, and both are unhappy to see the other. But when they are cast in the starring roles in the school production of Romeo and Juliet, they begin to see each other in a new light.

2. Under Dragon Wings by @bafflinghaze [T, 182k]

►Being able to turn into a dragon is not all its cracked up to be, not when Draco has to navigate an increasingly fractious Hogwarts, Death Eaters, and anti-Death Eaters—and lead his Slytherins to safety through all of it. And if Potter becomes one of his Slytherins, then he’ll have to…treat him nicely too.

3. I Beg Your Pardon, Potter? by Riyan_Blue [M, 164k]

►Harry asks Malfoy on a date. On a dare. What’s the worst that could happen?

4. The Liars Department by @dorthyanndrarry [T, 101k]

►This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it’s not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry… Harry couldn’t just leave well enough alone.

5. In Memory, Eternally by @samyistrying [E, 93k]

►Seven years after the defeat of Voldemort, Harry Potter leads a terribly dull life. When an old diary by Draco Malfoy surfaces, his life takes a turn and he soon finds himself stuck on a rollercoaster of emotions. // A story about finding courage, about the freedom of change and about love.

6. the Dragon Killer by cafesdeshanghai [M, 76k]

►Life as the owner of Shanghai’s highest-ranking bars and nightclubs isn’t an easy one, but Draco lived it well enough. […] Until the day he catches sight of a familiar face in his bar… Harry fucking Potter. Turns out that there’s a killer on the loose, and MI6 Agent Potter is in charge of the case. Against his better judgement, Draco once again finds himself entangled in the underworld, but as the mystery deepens, realizes that the Dragon Killer might be closer than he originally thought…

7. Draco Malfoy & The Philosopher’s Stone by Acacia_Laurel_Potter [?, 54k]

►Draco’s first year in the past.

8. the devil wears malfoy by @softsams [T, 50k]

►It’s a morning like any other at Atelier Malfoy for Draco, the most celebrated couturier in all of wizarding Britain. (In all of wizarding Europe, if you ask him.) That is, until he receives a request from a would-be client claiming to be Harry Potter, in need of a full bespoke ensemble for the Battle of Hogwarts 25th Anniversary Gala in the spring. Harry Potter hasn’t been seen in ten years. So of course Draco takes the request.

9. draco malfoy & the philosopher’s stone by @softlyblues [T, 48k]

►When 17-year-old Draco Malfoy accidentally uses a magical storm on the night before his death to communicate with his younger self, the ramifications on an 11-year-old Draco are huge. Entering Hogwarts with a warning ringing in his ears and a strange voice in his head, one small shift in attitude might change the Wizarding World forever - but for good, or ill?

10. The Curse of Wanting by @nothing-left-sacred [E, 46k]

►Draco is a Potions Master on a quest to collect a rare ingredient in the seas of Southern France. Harry is a Curse Breaker who mysteriously disappeared after taking a job in France, who hasn’t been heard from since.

2021.06 ~ Top 10 longest fics posted on AO3

1. The Boy Who Lived and The Boy Who Survived by willdrewapicture [G, 171k]

►[…] Draco died in battle during the war. And that left Harry devastated. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter has yet to unlock the powers of the Deathly Hallows. Rumor has that the Deathly Hallows gives the owner the power of life and death. Can he gain this power to resurrect Draco? Or will it all be a lost cause?

2. Floating Black Petals by Grace_28 [G, 153k]

►Ever since his third year, Draco has come into terms with the fact that he was going to die by the most poetically evil (and historically nonexistent) curse he’s ever heard of: Hanahaki. There’s no cure for the disease, no one that Draco could tell without feeling humiliated. […] But when Pansy sneaking into his dorm sets of a chain of oddly not-unwanted incidents, Draco finds himself confronted by the fact that maybe there is a very thin line between love and hate between him and Harry Potter.

3. Kai’s Gift by @starry-eyed-sky [E, 133k]

►Harry starts his eighth year with the help of his service animal, a young snake with the ability to eat negative emotions. He’s desperately looking forward to a normal year at Hogwarts without Voldemort sharing his mind. Except he can’t seem to get away from Malfoy, who is back for his eighth year as well. // Draco, he’s just trying to finish his N.E.W.T.s so he can try and get a Potion’s apprenticeship. All he has to do is keep his head down, study hard, and of course keep his eyes off of Harry Bloody Potter for longer than five minutes. But who the hell keeps cursing him?

4. If We Could Get to the Moon by Snoflinga [M, 121k]

►Draco has successfully hidden his odd feelings for Harry Potter until the Yule Ball makes them suddenly burst out. Harry notices there’s something new about the Slytherin, but he can’t quite figure out what.

5. Sincerity is Scary by @poetryobsessedgay [E, 86k]

►Harry finds Draco Malfoy crying in the bathroom. Instead of going in curses throwing, he goes in with the intention of helping. Malfoy wants desperately to get out of the task the dark lord has given him. Together they try and make things work. Malfoy becomes Draco and Harry realizes some things about himself.

6. In What Universe? by @amywaterwings [E, 70k]

►Draco accidentally triggers a curse that pulls him into tiny glimpses of different universes. This would all be fine—what does it matter if he semi-regularly flaunts the laws of space and time? Except that in every universe, in every iteration of every possible world, Harry Potter is in love with him. And that will not do. At all. […]

7. The Importance of Being Draco Malfoy by @upon-poppyhills [G, 66k]

►The answer to the age-old question, “What if instead of a scratch on the arm, Buckbeak had stomped on Draco’s head instead and caused tragic memory loss?” It was a truth universally acknowledged that the path to reforming a Slytherin prince never did run smooth.

8. Pop Up Pals by bambimoss [E, 62k]

►Draco Malfoy leads an ordered but rather unfulfilling life, working in a Ministry basement and residing in his cramped Muggle flat. Feeling underappreciated and horribly lonely, he purchases some special charms that allow him to conjure imaginary friends. Unfortunately, after becoming a suspect in a potions smuggling investigation, Draco is forced to surrender a month’s worth of memories for a Pensieve Probe. […]

9. Your Secret’s Out (And The Best Part Isn’t Even a Good One) by @ladderofyears — ART by @iero0 [E, 55k]

►Draco is struggling to make end meet after the war with both his parents imprisoned and too proud to talk to anyone about his struggles. When Harry discovers that Draco is offering special services to the men of Muggle London, he can’t resist the temptation – but his friend would never agree to sleep with him, would he? Polyjuice is the answer to that question. It makes for a night neither man will be able to forget.

10. Like the Son Holds the Moon by @lou-isfake [M, 49k]

►Narcissa Malfoy is missing. Harry has no idea why the Unspeakables want him tagging along on the investigation, but he’s not complaining. His job has never been this interesting. His job has never before involved observing a fit, long-haired Draco Malfoy around the clock, or noticing how good he smells, or burning his breakfasts. They’re not paying him to ask questions, or notice when something is terribly wrong, or take matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, these are the things Harry Potter does best.

※ HONOUABLE MENTIONS :

11. the all and the many by @sunny-writing [E, 43k]

►Harry needs someone to love. Draco needs someone to love him. While Harry is looking for someone to date, he settles in a friends with benefits relationship with Draco. And it works until it doesn’t.

12. Anatomy of a Wolf Heart by wendlaa [E, 40k]

►[…] Inside sources have uncovered that the Malfoy heir has been found alive. Aurors recently went undercover to expose a fighting ring involving illegal potions and unregistered werewolves. Among those rescued was Draco Malfoy.
