#Dronarry fanfic

[luna13e-blog]

Apparently I do recs now: Borrowed Time (Dronarry)

I've never wrote a fic recommendation before but the more I read the more I feel that screaming in the comments and leaving kudos is not enough. So, here's my first rec and it couldn't be more fitting the fact that is from @the-starryknight, the first person that welcomed me into this fandom two years ago and made me feel at home. So here we go:

Borrowed Time || E || 8k || by @the-starryknight

Harry finds himself in quite a dire situation, waking up in the wrong bed and in the arms of his best friend's lover. From there is a wonderful trip and, even when the tag says #PlotWhatPlot, I believe that there is a plot in the way Harry gets from a panic attack to extremely horny to 'I guess I could get used to this'. If you like fun, soft and sexy fanfics, this is your cup of tea.

This fic is part of the @dronarryfest and before it, I didn't know I could like Ron. I'm a Drarry girl, most specifically a Draco girl, but this fest has made me want to jump into Ron's lap and purr like a cat. The established Dron (is it Dron? I'm new here, so I don't know what I'm supposed to be calling RonxDraco, sorry) is something I've realized I enjoy very much and if you read this, you would too. In such a small amount of words, Starry portrays a wholesome, spicy, and tender relationship between those two. The cheeky way in which they drag horny overthinking Harry into their hands is amusing. The way Starry portrays the duality of Draco, soft and caring with Ron, and teasing and bickering with Harry is amazing, giving our beloved slytherin a dimension I always crave in his characterization. Harry is a panicking horny mess and who can blame him for that. And finally, Ron, cheeky bold Ron who's sure about himself and what he wants. I want a Ron, I need a Ron, and the way is written here is spot on. So, folks, go read it and let me know what you think about it. Is a short, well-written piece with amazing witty comments that I assure would leave you with a big smile on your face.

And that's all, here's my first rec. I'll probably continue with a couple more Dronarry fics. Let me know if you liked it, please, and feel free to scream your thoughts about the fanfic in my comments or ask ;)

[tenthousandyearsx]

Thanks so much for tagging me @wolfpants, I loved reading yours! I've pretty much only published lots of PWPs so far, and while I loved writing every single fic I've posted, self-recs always feel a bit weird. x_x Anyway, I'll give it a go!

Rules: Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙

​‎ㅤ

Passably Wrecked (Drarry, E, 4.6k)

“Potter,” Malfoy says, sitting down next to him at breakfast. “I think we should have sex.”

Starting with this one because it's fairly recent and I don't think I've shared it here! Malfoy expresses scepticism about Harry's sexual prowess. Harry is having none of it.

​‎‎ㅤ

Keep your hands on me (Drarry, E, 21k)

Malfoy binds himself with a sex curse. Harry cannot get enough (but would much prefer to keep Malfoy for himself).

Still the filthiest thing I've written imo – it's 21k of smut and I didn't self-censor at all, but I ~think~ I consider it porn with character development rather than pwp. I wrote the whole thing in a daze, which is my favourite way to write when the muses allow – and to my absolute astonishment (I was sure it was going to get hate), it tends to get my favourite comments too. ​‎‎ㅤ

Just a trial run (Drarry, E, 9k)

Potter in his living room was a novelty and Draco could not take his eyes off him. He fixed both of them a drink, handed Potter his Firewhisky, then sat on the sofa. “From Saviour to Auror to whore,” he said. Potter choked on his drink. “Tell me, Potter, how does that happen?” In which Harry wants to get into sex work and Draco would prefer to keep him for himself.

I'm very fond of this fic and this Draco. I wrote it while I was working on KYHOM because I wanted to try a somewhat similar premise with the opposite dynamic, with top Draco and a more submissive Harry. It has both a paid sex kink and alcohol kink, which I have no idea where they came from, and while I've been postponing doing some proper edits on the second chapter, I absolutely loved writing it. ​‎‎ㅤ

Trouble with your tie, Potter? (Drarry, E, 6.7k)

The last thing Harry expects when Slughorn partners him up with Zabini is Malfoy shooting them furious looks throughout the whole class and then unceremoniously snogging Harry in the corridor.

My Erised fic from last year! I was actually working on something else entirely, a much longer fic that fizzled and died on me halfway through. I have a self-imposed rule that the energy of a story has to be right and has to be such that the story drives itself – and, specifically for fic, that if I don't enjoy writing it, there's no point in doing it. So when writing a fic becomes a slog, I just go back and delete mercilessly. It still didn't help in this case though x_x, so I started writing "Trouble with your tie" instead, which was an absolute joy to work on and I'm so happy I did. There are some parts I still think I'll probably rewrite at some point, but I really loved writing H and D's dynamic here. Even though I don't agonise over my prose when I write fic, I am super careful about the energy I'm putting out and especially the feeling I'm leaving the reader with at the end, so I'm really happy they hit the mark in this case. ​‎‎ㅤ

Not very gallant (initial Dronarry but endgame Dron, E, 3.3k)

“He likes it when I hurt him,” Harry tells Ron with a smirk. “And then you come in and soothe him.”

I wanted to include a non-drarry fic so here's a very recent one! I think I probably could have done more with it, but I loved writing Ron in this. Please mind the tags!!! Everything is super undernegotiated!!! It's endgame Dron, but Harry is perfectly fine with it. I should also probably mention that Harry is a bit of an asshole in this fic compared to the way I usually write him, but because I usually write Drarry and wanted this to be endgame Dron, I had to find a way for the dynamic to be in character, hot, and sexually charged, but not in a way that made me ship drarry too much. I'm also usually not good with threesomes or poly relationships because I always feel like someone is left out x_x, so I tried to put my own spin on it. This is what worked for me and I loved writing it! Do not expect considerate behaviour for like... most of it though.

Tagging @crazybutgood , @magpiefngrl , @orange-peony , @lumosatnight and anyone who'd like to join!

[simsim54]

Ron: What's your type? Harry: Malfoy heir who has a lot of daddy issues. Ron: I was gonna say the same thing. Harry: Who's mean to me. Ron: OOO. Harry: With a haughty expression that I can't wait to get rid of. Ron: Oo, stunning.

tbh the hp fandom is really sleeping on lavender/hermione... like ok if we're so determined to do enemies to lovers why not them

Complementary To Green - Harry/Ron/Draco Fic by digthewriter

Summary: When Draco had started The Malfoy Fix, he'd expected plenty of fashion-disaster(s) clients and had figured having an open-door policy was good for business. Although, catering to celebrity-Aurors Harry Potter and Ron Weasley was not on the agenda.

Dressing up Potter and Weasley was more humorous than Draco had initially thought. It was also just as nerve-racking. It was true that initially, Weasley had been the one who was more than willing to pick fights with Draco; he was also the one who now actually listened to Draco, trying on whatever outfit Draco would pick out. Potter, on the other hand, questioned everything. "Why does he get the dark blue? I like dark blue." He always wanted to try whatever Weasley was trying and would give clothes selected for him to Weasley. "Purple's not really my colour." "It's not his size." "I'll spell it to fit over Ron's body." At that, Weasley had smirked. What was even worse was that they never left the room to go and change. They didn't even turn around or wait for Draco to turn around. For days, Draco had to endure Potter and Weasley getting naked in front of each other, their playful flirting, finding reasons to touch each other, and on the final day, Draco had to even break off the pseudo-wrestling match they'd initiated on the sofa because Weasley wanted to wear a silk scarf Draco had picked out for Potter. It was ridiculous. It was too much for Draco to handle, and he'd been right, there hadn't been enough Galleons in the world for Draco to endure all of this and come out unscathed. He was also absolutely, utterly jealous.

It’s my birthday! Celebrate with me by reading my top favorite fanfic discoveries this past year. (Feel free to flail with me in DM’s!) I feel so lucky to have found so many wonderful talented friends and amazing stories! 

1. flour and flesh by foxglovetonic (nocturn) Hermione x Pansy, wc: 666 rating: M

(Mind the tags) This sapphic horror fic gripped my soul from the moment I read it and it lives rent-free in my head because of its amazing imagery and masterful use of unreliable narrator. I’ll be forever creeped out by carving pumpkins and pie (but in the BEST way, I swear!) This is the #1 reason Halloween is my fav. 

2. Usually by @lumosatnight Percy x Oliver, wc: 1k, rating: E

What’s not to love about banter, chess as foreplay, and stripping down until there’s nothing left but heart-pounding hot AF sex? This pairing is fantastic, and Lani’s writing is on point, as always, and I was incredibly impressed by the real live chess match taking place in the background. Read it, you won’t regret it! 

3. drink up, boys by @emilyrickman gen work featuring Parvati Patil, wc: 1.5k, rating: M

(Mind the tags) I URGE you give this gripping revenge story a chance! Between Parvati’s confidence and the absolute heartbreaking and empowering ode to sisterly love, this story gave me goosebumps. Emily is such a great writer, and I can’t stress enough how well the feels come through on this one. Also, give the song What It Means To Be a Girl by EMELINE a listen as you read, it will elevate the whole experience! 

4. One Woman’s Trash by @nanneramma Lavender x Hermione wc: 2k, rating: T

My friend Nan can do it all, and I don’t care that coffee shop AU has been done a thousand and one times before, THIS is the one to read! Lavender is to die for in this, and the fluff is pure, gourmet sweetness. It will have you kicking your feet and squealing by the end. 

5. Head Over Heels by @vdoshu Narcissa x Mrs. Zabini, wc: 575, Rating: M

This itty bitty fic is singlehandedly feeding my Narcissa Mommy delusion. I want her to step on me SO BAD! Ugh. Doshu packs a punch with every story, and the punchline of this one is sure to have you gasping like a beached fish. Please come scream at me about it if and when you know what I mean. 

6. Welcome, Peasants by @fluxweeed Draco x Ron x Harry, wc: 15k, Rating: E

It was nearly impossible for me to pick just ONE of my favorite fics from Dronarry fest this year, but I narrowed it down to two. Strap in for an hour and immerse yourself because the payoff is WORTH IT!  This one blends the juicy polyjuice trope with a healthy dollop of mistaken identity and a pinch of jealousy. Better yet is the twisty reveal and the absolutely smut-tastic finale that follows.

7. For I Have Found Salvation by @lumosatnight Severus x Harry, wc: 7k, Rating: E

Yes Lani, I couldn’t resist another! I feel like I have to preface this by saying I’m not usually a Snarry fan, but this filthy Priest AU fic is EVERYTHING. The dynamic of guilt and forbidden church sex (while church is IN SESSION) is so fucking delectable. I’m going to just say it and embarrass myself: Insta-Wank Bank. Yep. 

8. Nightswimming by @sweet-s0rr0w Draco x Ron (x Harry), wc: 5k, Rating: M

…Which brings me to my SECOND Dronarry fest pick from this year, and I love it so much because it’s all banter and hypotheticals. Draco and Harry are a couple, but Draco and Ron share a car ride where it comes out that maybe they’ve been considering a three-way with Ron. They don’t even fuck, but the tension of them just talking about it is too hot to handle. Bonus: There’s art at the end! 

9. Mistletoe Mojito by @amethystheart2421 Sybill x Severus, wc: 3k, Rating: E

This fic knocked me flat on my ass. This lust potion fueled one-night stand fic had me laughing and crying (from hilarity and absurdity and sadness) all at once. Such delightful writing, and the perfect example of crack taken seriously. 

10. All That Is Beautiful, Burns In The Making by @sailtomarina Narcissa x Bill, wc: 8k, Rating: E

Narcissa is hot. Bill is hot. We all know this from canon, but imagine they get together and how much hotter they are as a couple! This fic contains such delights as werewolf Bill, seduction, forbidden love, infidelity, knotting, endless refractory periods, voyeurism, rough sex, and mating. It’s not quite A/B/O but it has a lot of the elements that make it such a juicy AU.

11. A Perfect Answer by @p1013 Draco x Harry wc: 9k, Rating: E

Downton Abbey AU. Harry is Draco’s valet and the love is very much forbidden. Contains: pining, jealousy, decorum, emerald cufflinks that Draco favours, and BATHS. Something about it reminds me of Jane Eyre, though I know that’s a different time period and there’s no crazy wife in the attic. I loved this fic so much because it was a well-written AU and it brought a breath of fresh air to an old favorite otp. The angst is divine, and the ending is such a lovely payoff. Enjoy! 

[hephaestiions]

for the ask game, C, K, N!

thank you so much for the ask, this was SUCH fun to do!

C: a ship you've never liked and probably never will.

my main ship is harry/draco, so i'm always very very picky with ships featuring either of them with someone else. i have (very occasionally) read fics featuring other ships with these characters (thinking of some delicious harry/charlie, even some harry/ginny and draco/astoria & have been a HUGE fan of some harry/draco/teddy and the recent dronarry fest) but i don't think i've read anything that isn't endgame drarry in some form, and i don't think i ever will. the only ship i can think of that actively squicks me and i don't think i'll read in any version ever is draco/hermione— it just doesn't do it for me at all!

K: which character has your favourite development arc/the best development arc?

in hp canon, i personally think harry himself? he was one of my favourite protagonists to follow in any book series, and i think seeing him getting much angrier, much wearier post-gof, much more aware of the expectations upon him and how he was being used as a tool in vaster games was both heartbreaking and really compelling.

in hp fanon, i mostly LOVE what my favourite authors & fics do with the slytherins, mostly draco, but also pansy. some of the most brilliant and interesting reckonings with their role and complicity and guilt in the war are rendered in fanfic and it never gets old! i LOVE watching the slytherins grow up into more complex, interesting, (deeply traumatised) people, it's such a revelation to encounter them/live in their heads!

N: three things i wish i saw more of in fandom.

i think the drarry fandom is such a vast and nuanced fandom that it's very hard to have things you don't see much of, whether in terms of tropes, canon exploration, meta-commentary or general fan behaviour. i do wish, sometimes, that more fics engaged with politics & social commentary and the ways magic interacts with them. there's a treasure trove of fics that do this, and they're my favourite genre of fics, but i'll never say no to more and to new and interesting ways of exploring this. i also ADORE casefics and wish there were more in the drarry fandom— full of magical theory, quintessential red herrings and the difficulties of falling in love while trying to hunt down murderers and dark artefacts. again, there's an array of fics that do this and they're some of my favourites, i'm just always hungry for more! and i just can't think of a third thing, i think fandom does a brilliant job of meeting my specific needs and i love this space so much in that regard!

send me some fandom asks!

Fanfic Ask Game, please: Question Nr. 4, 6 and 12!

Thank you anon! 💗

4. What fandom’s/ship’s fan fiction do you read the most?

Definitely HP/Drarry!

6. What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?

All the good things and the bad things that may be by @maesterchill, a delightful treat from the Dronarry fest!

12. Friends with benefits or secret dating?

Fwb! Fwb! “Fuck buddies gone wrong” is hands down one of my favorite fic tropes and I think it works so well with Drarry, some of my favorite fics are fwb and I love revisiting them. Perfect brand of pining and angst! Even better when both tropes are combined like in A Convenient Impracticality by firethesound, a classic!👨‍🍳💋

Send me fic asks!

[lumosatnight]

Dramione and Draco/Ron please!

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it (and also maybe a fic rec).

Let's start with DRON!

I fucking love Dron. Any iteration of Dron actually. Sixth year sneaking around Dron, Horcrux-hunt Dron, post-war Dron, Dronarry! We can all agree that Draco/Harry had a weird rivalry/obsession with each other in school. I love giving it a Dron spin though and saying Draco was actually trying to get under Ron's skin by taking digs at Harry and Hermione. They're both smart, they're both strategic, they're both purebloods, but they choose to use these traits in different ways.

Also, Draco and Ron running into each other after the war. Ron is no longer 'poor' and Draco is no longer insufferable. Instant attraction. Perfect.

-

My ship rating: Dronstoppable

My fic rec: Ron and Draco Go on an Island Adventure [Gee Thanks, Hermione] by @schmem14 [E, 15.2k]

Draco loves Ron. Ron loves Harry. And Harry's getting married to Theo, which leaves Ron on the verge of a full-on mental breakdown. It's up to Draco to keep Ron company during these trying times. [Oh, and did I mention, Hermione sneakily banishes the two of them to a tropical island for a month?]

-

Up next: Dramione!

Dramione is the ship that got me into fanfic. Manacled and The Right Thing To Do sucked me in immediately. I obsessed over these fics (sometimes still do). Dramione dynamics are fascinating: opposite sides of the war. Draco having to over come his prejudice. Hermione having to forgive her bully. I think the problem is, however, that I loved those initial fics so much that I can no longer picture Dramione any other way. So, I hardly seek out Dramione anymore. I'm happy to see them as a background ship though.

(Also, I started head-cannoning Draco as gay, and once you go gay you never go back)

-

My ship rating: beatboxing in the background

My fic rec: Breakfast, interrupted by Hrair [T, 5.2k]

All Lucius Malfoy wants is to have a proper, pureblood heir and to eat his breakfast in peace. Is that really too much to ask?

[wolfpants]

10 first lines!

Thanks for the tag @oknowkiss! I can't share any WIPs because what I'm working on right now is anon 😅 And instead of sharing my most recent fics, I put all my fics in a random generator. Anything to avoid working on my current writing, eh! If @thehoneybeet @basicallyahedgehog @getawayfox @skeptiquewrites and @kbrick want to play, I'd be keen to see what you come up with! 💖

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway

Harry stares at Draco Malfoy’s half-empty dinner plate and thinks of the things he knows about him through sheer observation alone: he doesn’t like peas; he does like gravy, and lots of it; he has a sweet tooth that could rival Remus’s; he has a thin but raised white scar on his left hand, running and twisting around from the edge of his thumb knuckle to the inside of his wrist (horse riding accident, quite a horrific one, I’ll spare you the details, he’d said clippily that one time Harry had asked about it, before swiftly deciding to stop asking Malfoy anything at all); he hardly ever finishes a full meal; he has three pairs of almost identical pyjamas - all silk, all matching, one green, one grey, one black; he’s always the first of them to shut his curtains and go to sleep. From Aurora (Drarry, M)

[luna13e-blog]

@st-clements-steps has tagged me, so here I go:

3 ships you like: I'm a multifandom multi-shipper without any restraint that jumps from ship to ship so this is a hard one, but well, let's try:

1. Dronarry (especially those focused on Ron and Draco in which Harry is a plot device).

2. Stucky (the name is hideous but the self righteous captain and his best friend corrupted by nazis that are trapped in a century that isn't theirs and only have each other and have swear go with other 'to the end of the line'? Yes, I'll eat that shit up every time).

3. RugaxLeo (it's my tiny pretty ship that is also canon from the Spanish novel 'Cuando vimos la luz' and I'm in love with them so ferociously).

4. Any combination of rosestarkiller/RegulusxBartyxEvan (yes, I don't follow rules and I wasn't going to leave my babies out of this one).

5. Honorific mention to Touyuki because is canon and my childhood and I love them.

Your first ship ever: Alejandro Magno (sorry, 'The Great' is not as cool as 'Magno') and Hephaestion. I was 9 when I read a book about Alexander and they mentioned his best friend that made a vow to follow him to hell and back and used to carry a tooth from the other around his neck and spend nights out in the woods cuddling together and... Yup. I've only cried the way I cried when Hephaestion died three more times in my life. And I was nine. But it was meant to be, I'm a sucker for childhood friends to 'I'd die for you and I'll follow you everywhere' to lovers, so there you have it. I spent the next 5 years of my life consuming all media about Alejandro Magno and being pissed every time they didn't portrait Hephaestion with the importance -and love- he deserved. The Macedonian and the Greeks gave me many beautiful gay ships in my youth.

Last song you heard: Exile - Taylor Swift ft Bon Iver. I'm hiding from the horrors of TTPD listening again Folklore + Evermore in one sitting. In my opinion, that was poetry but I'm too old to die in any hill because of Taylor Swift.

Favorite childhood book: The neverending story by Michel Ende. Yeah, surprisingly it isn't a Harry Potter book. If you poke me I'll tell you how in third grade I was absolutely sure I was becoming Bastian Balthasar Bux (also, isn't his name so cool?). But anyhow, I believe this is the kind of book I can always re-read and find a new detail, a new subtext and a new meaning. And I've been re-reading it for more than 20 years now.

Currently reading: I just finished 'Cuando vimos la luz' by Alba N. F. I devoured 500+ pages in a day and I'm still going back to read passages of it again. I'm also reading fanfic (shocking I know): 'It was rare, I was there, I remember it" by im_still_trying_to_find_it on AO3. Tragic Jegulus (don't look at me like that, Regulus), I downloaded it two years ago but I just started it last month and I'm going through it slowly.

Currently watching: Suits. Don't ask me why. I just finished House M.D and I needed another long enough piece of comfort media to put for background of my tribulations

Currently consuming: ..?! Bread?

Currently craving: For my laundry to be done by elves or a weekend lost in the woods (yes, again).

And that's it folks, anyone is free to assume I tag you and do this.

Prompting

Prompting Opens October 11th Prompting Closes November 1st

You may submit as many prompts as you like, either using your name or anonymously.

You do not have to be creating in the fest to send in a prompt.

Please include any extra prompt details you would love to see incorporated (e.g. a favourite trope).

If you wish to, please include a maximum rating (e.g. Explicit) and any squicks or triggers (e.g. MCD). 

Please note that any prompt details, including wished-for tropes, ratings, and squicks, are for inspiration only, and creators are not obligated to fulfil all of your desired wishes.

Remember that this is a Dronarry fest, and all ship requests must include Dronarry, Dron, Drarry, and/or Ronarry. No other ships are permitted unless they are minor.

We allow self-prompting. You may submit your desired prompt and then take your chance claiming it (with the risk that someone else may snatch it up before you), or you can fill in the special box for self-prompts once claiming opens.

Prompts will be available for browsing once claiming opens. 

Claiming

Claiming Starts November 2nd at 5pm GMT Claiming Closes: February 7th at 5pm GMT

This is an 18+ fest. Please do not sign up if you are under the age of 18 at the time of submission (February 20th 2025).

You may only claim one prompt at a time. If you finish your prompt, you may claim an additional prompt, but you must submit your first prompt as per submission guidelines first.

Claims will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.

You may claim for different fanwork types at the same time, either as an individual or as a collaboration (e.g. art + fic).

Collaborations are welcome! Please only submit one form per collaboration work and include details of all participants. Collabs can be illustrated fics, multi-author fics, multi-artists artworks, etc.

If you wish to create based on an existing fanwork, please submit as a self-prompt. You must ask for the original creator’s permission before submitting. We will trust you to honour this and only ask for proof in case issues arise. As proof we would expect written consent, or a blanket permission statement from the original creator either as a link or screencap.

You can browse blanket permission statements of creators here: https://www.fpslist.org/

Creating

All creations must feature either: Dronarry (Draco/Ron/Harry), Drarry (Draco/Harry), Dron (Draco/Ron), or Ronarry (Ron/Harry), or a mixture of the listed ships. Any other ships must be minor.

All creations must feature Draco, Ron, and Harry as main characters.

Minimum of 1k for fics, with no maximum wordcount. For podfics, the recorded story should be a minimum of 1k words, no maximum.

All fics must be proofread by a beta. Podfics must be proofed before submission. If you do not have a beta, please contact the mods (dronarryfestmods@gmail.com) or send us an ask and we can put a call out for a beta for you.

Please tag your works appropriately and sensitively. We want this to be a fest for everyone to feel safe and included and that means being mindful with your warning tags. If you’re not sure about how to tag something, please let the mods know and we can help. Please also note that we reserve the right to review your tags and add any additional tags to your works. We will always let you know what these tags are.

This is a non-anonymous fest, so feel free to share snippets of your work in the run up to posting!

Submissions must be complete works created for Dronarry Fest. Please do not submit incomplete works or works that are part of a series or a prequel/sequel to an existing work, unless it is a remix.

We encourage you to be inspired by prompts’ additional details, but it is not a requirement to incorporate them into your creation. You are not required to abide by any mentioned dislikes. However, if you plan to gift a creation to the prompter, we may disallow this if you ignore stated dislikes. Please tag your work appropriately.

Submitting

All works must be submitted to the AO3 collection: Dronarry Fest 2025. If you do not have an AO3 account, please contact the mods.

We will not make any other changes to your work, and we will remove the mod account immediately after the fest has ended. 

Please contact the mods if you have any issues submitting your work to AO3.

FAQs

Are other ships allowed?

Theoretically, yes, but they must be minor. Dronarry, Drarry, Dron and/or Ronarry must be the main pairing and focus of your work. You can pair Draco, Ron, and/or Harry with other characters, but these must be background relationships and the story must be centred around one or more of the ships listed above.

Is this an 18+ fest?

Yes, this fest is only open to creators over the age of 18 at time of submission (February 20th 2025).

Liv!! 2, 9, & 19 for fanfic asks! 💛💖

Thank you Danni my love!! 💜

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

Ugh this month has been terrible when it comes to reading, I’ve got so much to catch up with! Next on my list is Among the Elements from the Mpreg Fest. I’m also screaming in anticipation for @wolfpants’ upcoming Dronarry, I’ll make sure to clean up my schedule as soon as that one drops 🙌

9. Fake dating or arranged marriage?

That’s an interesting one because personally I’m not 100% sold on either trope for Drarry! It usually takes me some suspension of disbelief to dive into them but I’ll say I’ve had more fun reading fake dating fics, they’re always very cute with just the right amount of pining and light angst. That being said, I’ll never not mention bixgirl’s brilliant TOBM, a classic arranged marriage fic and absolute must read imo.

19. What’s your favorite character headcanon?

I really like the idea of Draco having Sectumsempra scars, and of Harry and all his friends moving into (and reforming) Grimmauld Place. I’ve seen it so often in fic that it’s easy to forget this is not actually canon 🤣

Send me fanfic asks!
