"Brooklyn 45"

BROOKLYN 45: This dialogue-driven supernatural drama about being haunted by the metaphorical (and literal) ghosts of the past has a wildly unpredictable story and substantial themes that make it a thinking person's thriller. #PanicFest2023

I was enamored by the sophisticated complexity of “Brooklyn 45,” writer-director Ted Geoghegan‘s supernatural period piece about a frightening séance in post-World War II America and the equally disturbing aftermath. This dialogue-driven supernatural drama about being haunted by the metaphorical (and literal) ghosts of the past has a wildly unpredictable story and substantial themes that make it…

hiii liv!! any soft eighth year recs??

I read nice things and I’m just craving some soft drarry :)

thank you hope youre doing well

Hi anon! Ahh I adore Nice Things, such a healing fic and a perfect read for the holiday season ❤️ here are some soft 8th year fics for you:

Thermodynamic Equilibrium by @dorthyanndrarry (T, 5k)

Harry's far too hot. Draco's always cold. And somehow against all odds, together they create a perfect equilibrium.

What Country, Friends, Is This? by khalulu (M, 8k)

When Harry and Draco are paired up for a nebulous “capstone project” in 8th year, Draco suggests they use it as an opportunity to take a free Grand Tour of Europe.

warmest part of the winter by warmfoothills (T, 11k)

It’s not even a balcony, it’s just a window with a bit of a ledge, and Draco’s read Shakespeare anyway, he knows how this one ends.

Said and Unsaid (or, The Value of Knowing When to Stop Talking) by bryoneybrynn (T, 15k)

When the Interrogator asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, Draco shook his head, his lips pressed tight in a thin line. There was nothing to say that wouldn’t sound like an excuse.

On Our Way by evils (E, 30k)

Draco is trying to spend the summer keeping his head down, but a repair project and a certain snowy owl have other plans for him.

All Things Go by @sorrybutblog (E, 33k)

Draco’s back at Hogwarts by court order. Harry’s back for no particular reason at all. Some things change, some stay the same.

Like Lightning at Your Fingertips by potterwatch (T, 43k)

The problem with living with another insomniac is, eventually, they find out you’re one, too.

The July Tree by @oknowkiss (E, 51k)

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy (M, 66k)

How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 88k)

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Helix by Saras_Girl (E, 92k)

Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again.

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.

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop (E, 113k)

Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

where all the veins meet by @saxamophone (E, 146k)

It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?

Bonus: a smutty Christmas treat 🎅🏼

The Romantic Prawn Who Loved Christmas by bixgirl1 (E, 39k)

When Draco, forced into sharing a room with Potter for the year, finds out that Potter has a sleepwalking problem, he expects the odd conversations and the weird games of chess.

Complete fics posted on AO3 this day

1. Dreary by raspberrybalm [E, 177k]

A vile of Felix Felicis, a Resurrection Stone, and a blond walk into an Avada… The punchline? Draco's life, it would seem. He can't win for losing. His mother's gone, his girlfriend's in love with his mate, and The Order won't take him no matter how many baddies he slaughters. The solution? A Time Turner. The solution to the consequential havoc of messing with time? Harry Potter, of course. Only, the bloke's been dead for fifteen years. Good thing Draco eats Death for breakfast.

2. like an animal in your care by venomous [M, 1k]

Harry wakes up from a nightmare. It’s nothing new.

3. Ouroboros by inkysand [T, 81k]

“But now we’re all trapped in this place with Bellatrix lurking around,” Ron said once he’d calmed down. “And it sounds like Malfoy’s all set on fixing the Compact. But what’s that going to do for You-Know-Who? If we get bumped out of here, do we go back and get killed by a dark wizard who’s got all his power back and is already in control at Hogwarts?” None of them had answers to those questions.

4. till then i'll just pretend by dracosfirstwife [G, 2k]

cedric won't leave harry alone, so draco decides him and harry should fake date so cedric will leave him alone [...]

5. Twin flames by Wizarding_Whatif [M, 561k]

After the war has ended, Harry finds himself at a loss for what to do with himself. [...] Draco Malfoy is also asking the big questions in life after the war. [...] They both get invited back after a year of rebuilding to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. [...] This year, however, the returning students are to be resorted, Harry is but Draco is not. This year an entirely different adventure awaits the two men. With an ancient love spell cast on Harry before School the unknown consequences grow steeper as the year goes on, leaving the entire wizarding world on the edge of their brooms for news of their savior. Can a villain become a hero? Will the hero get a happy ending?

6. When Harry Ate Sally by @chaos-bear [E, 8k]

Dumbledore was right when he said that dark magic leaves traces. Eight years after defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter is Britain's Golden Boy, but the darkness his shiny exterior hides will soon consume everyone he once loved.

Kissing, It Saves Souls by @k-starr-ent-ceo [E | 45.5k]

Have you ever gone to a wedding, then have to quickly save everyone there by getting them to leave, so you fake an affair with the bride (who subsequently is no longer a bride), then have to keep saving people, by kissing said woman, then realise you're in love? No? Me neither, but Hermione did. This is a tale about two women falling in love, then falling into an adventure.

Don’t get her hopes up. Don’t let anyone in. Don’t risk her heart. These weren’t the only lessons the tournament year taught her, but they were the hardest and Fleur Delacour learned them well. Until a girl with honey-brown eyes made her want to forget every one of them.

James Hetfield x Reader

Hii today I wrote another fic, hope you like it! (I had already written it and I lost everything I had done)

Parings: youngjameshetfieldxreader

!Warnings: Attachment issues(from James), fluff, cheesy things, sensitive topics about fear of abandonment, insecurities and that stuff, this not contains smut but James sometimes acts submissive towards you.

This fanfic is based on what is known about the attachment issues that James had as a teenager when his mother died and his father left him and his family (💔).  So, I'm not looking to offend or make fun of anyone, it's simply entertainment.

I almost forgot, I was inspired by Taylor Swift's song "The Archer", who talks about this :3

I'm trying as hard as I can to make fanfics in English, since my main language is Spanish, I'm still learning (I mean I already know how to speak it well but ok)

Thanks for read ⊹ ࣪ ˖

"...But who could stay?" (1981)

reader's pov:

Today is a rainy and stormy day in Downey, California. My boyfriend, James, had plans with his new friends to create a band, but due to the storms, Ron's mother, the bassist of his new band, didn't let them occupy the garage.

The last week has been very hard for James, because it's been a year since his mother died, and he's obviously very down about it, so I try to do everything I can to make him smile, but it's impossible. His younger sister, Deanna, told me that James locks himself in his room all the day, and only goes out to eat. It's normal for him to feel so overwhelmed, but it's hard for me to see him like this.

So today I wanted to accompany James so he doesn't feel alone, so despite the rains I came to his house, I'm sitting on his bed reading a book and he's sitting on the floor tuning his new electric guitar. His room is so messy, and he have so many posters of metal in the walls.

In a moment of silence, I raise my head to see what he's doing, and he continues tuning his guitar, strange, because he's been doing it for too long.

He looks at me and shyly says, "You don't have to stay here if you want. You can go be with Deanna downstairs." His voice was cold and distant, but is like he doesn't mean it.

I look at him again. "Nah..I want to stay here with you"

Then I closed my book and left it next to it, when I was going to get out of bed, lightning struck very close to James' house, and it sounded very loud, which made James get scared by the sudden noise. I was still a little scared, but he was much more scared than me. After the lightning struck, James stayed sitting on the floor looking away.

The lightning took him by surprise, it's not like he's afraid of lightning, but all the stress he's had lately has made him lose focus a lot. He gives me an embarrassed smile.

"Hey James, why that face?" I finally stand up, and I walks towards James for then sit next to him in the floor, I try to touch his arm, but he moves it, so I didn't want to force him and I move my hand. He looks at his guitar, he looks tired.

"It's nothing. Just.. This weather reminds me of when my mother comforted me when I was a kid."

I look at him confused. So I ask. "Why did she comfort you before, hun?"

"Because I was scared of storms and lightings" He says in a shy tone, and then look me in the eyes.

"Oh.." I giggle, because I found it cute. "That's cute.."

He frowns, and e left his guitar on his side, and crosses his arms. "That's not funny, ____. I'm serious.." He gently hit my shoulder, I giggle again.

"I know you are serious! It's just.. It's cute to know that when you were little you were afraid of storms. I imagine you as a very adorable child."

"Whatever.." He looks away. He has always been a very shy guy, and although we have been dating for almost a year, he is still too shy and closed to me.

After a minutes of a comfortable silence between us, I notice he is looking at me. Sometimes his piercing blue eyes scare me, but at the same time I love them.

"Something happen, James?" My voice is soft, I tilt my head and he shakes his head. "What's wrong?"

"I can be completely honest with you, ____?" His voice and eyes are filled with shyness and vulnerability, he plays with her fingers, he always do that when he is hesitant of something or he is embarrassed. He moves a bit his head down, as he plays with his hands.

"You know you can, silly. I'm all ears for my man" He chuckles at that and blushes, everytime I make a silly comment like this he blushes. I know that comments makes him feel better, even if they are just tiny and insignificant comments, he likes them, and that's what matters.

"Alright, thanks..." He makes a short pause and then talks again. "Since I joined Metallica I feel like I'm not enough, you know? I feel like I don't play the guitar well, and that I sing like shit. Dave says that I sing like a old lady with asthma.."

I chuckle just a bit when he say the last thing, almost immediately my tone becomes serious again. "Bullshit" I said. "You are not bad at guitar, you are awesome, James. Don't ever say that again."

"But it's true.. I suck at it.." He looks at his guitar, and then at me with vulnerability. Even if he thinks that of himself, he knows that's not true. He is so good at guitar.

"No. Besides, Dave is stupid for think you sing like a old lady. Maybe your voice doesn't sound perfect, but hey. I love how you sing, I love your voice.." I smile softly at him, he smiles too.

"You say this because you are my girlfriend.." Before he can keep talking I interrupt him.

"Maybe, but I'm not the only one who thinks you're very good at playing guitar and singing you know. My friends envy me for being your girlfriend. They say you're amazing." He opens his eyes a bit, he didn't expect that.

"They really envy you..?" He look and sound amazed, like it was the most surprising thing in the world, but I understand him.

"Of course they envy me, you are so handsome and cool, any girl would die for be your girl, but look at me, I am the lucky one. I am the lucky one who have the best and gorgeous guy in this world."

I make a proud face and he just looks at me in silence, he talks to me in a desperate and vulnerable tone "You'll never wouldn't leave me alone right? " I'm used to hear that, always. God, hearing him like this makes me feel bad.

"Never, I would be with you always." My eyes are filled with affection, he smiles but he still being unsure of this.

"You don't think that I'm boring? Or insufficient?" He moves a bit closer to my body and his eyes don't leave mine. He grabs my hands and intertwine his fingers with mine. I smile at that gesture.

"No. You are sufficient for me, more than sufficient. And boring? Hell no, you are the most funny and pretty guy that my eyes laid on."

He moves a bit closer his face to mine, and he talks with fear "And if one day you think I am.. so much, i mean you get tired of me.. I don't know what would I do...But who could stay? Who could stay if you are not with me?"

I didn't know what to say. I keept looking at him, he looks at my lips, he search approval in my eyes, I nod, and he grab my face with his both hands and caress my cheeks.

And just when he was going to kiss me on the lips, lightning struck again near James's house, and it was too loud, louder than the previous time. James gets scared again, and he hugs me for then nuzzle his face in my chest. Maybe he is still afraid of lightnings, yeah..

"Please don't go, ____. don't leave me..." I caress his back and his long and wavy blonde hair, he holds me tightly. I just keept caressing his back, and comforting him.

"Hey look at me, James." I grab his chin. "You don't have to worry about that, I'm here with you. You don't have to carry all this weight alone." I make a pause. To lighten the mood a little I decide to make a little joke “Besides, if you tried to get rid of me, I would chase you. I’m pretty annoying, you know?”

He rolls his eyes and chuckles a bit, he says in a sarcastic tone "Yeah, I know it. But, I guess I like it." He nuzzles his face in my chest again, and in a soft whine he says "I don't wanna lose you.."

"Don't worry, I assure you that you will not lose me, I will always be there for you. Remember that every time you feel bad you can call me or go see me at my house, you already know that my dad accepts you so there is no problem." I kiss his forehead, then he quickly grabs my face again and kiss my lips in a soft and vulnerable way.

I open my eyes a little due to James' sudden kiss, since I am the one who almost always takes the initiative to start kissing. But, hey, that makes me happy, so I closed my eyes and followed the tender kiss.

We continued like that for a while, kissing and hugging, and me telling him how much I admire him. Until at one point when James was kissing me with a little more roughness and passion, his little sister Deanna arrived, she is almost fourteen years.

"Hey James, I'm hungr-" Before she finish talking, she notices the scene, James and I in the floor, and James almost towering me completely while we kiss, she makes a disgusted face and roll her eyes. "James stop, I'm talking to you, ugh.."

"Deanna, please knock the door before come in, right?" He steps away from my body with a blushing face. "What do you need'"

"I'm hungry. Can you make me something to eat please?" She smiles at his brother, James says in an annoyed but yet not serious tone.

"You are old enough to make your own food, Deanna. But alright. Stay here, ____." He stands up, and walks downstairs with his little sister.

I love him so much, I love how sweet and kind and understanding with everyone. He is a good person, and he doesn't deserve everything that has happened to him.

Besides, he has been addicted to alcohol for almost 5 months, drinking almost all day. He doesn't get drunk, but he says it makes him feel good. I honestly worry about that, but there's nothing I can do but try to stop what he does.

“Alright, that’s enough! Shut it!” I yell from my position in front of the conversing Gryffindors.

At my shout they all shut their mouths.

Finally, thank God.

“Alright now listen to me,” I say to the Gryffindors as I pace the field with rain falling all over me, getting in my eyes and drenching my uniform and hair, “Just because you go lucky enough to be selected for the Quidditch team last year does not guarantee you a spot in for this year. Last year our team was absolutely abominable, we lost to Hufflepuff of all teams. Now that I’m Captain I’m not losing to any team especially not Slytherin. Play fair and play well. The official team will be posted on the common room notice board by Friday night. Have fun.”

And with that everyone takes off into the air and starts playing, some noticeably better than others.

After playing for a whole round,and freshening up, the boys and I meet up with Hermione in the library to study.

“Hey, how were trials?” Hermione lifts her head out of a big dusty book and looks up to see us walking towards us, Ron looking like he was going to collapse any second and Harry with a rare skip in his step.

“They were surprisingly good, loads of potential. We’ll definitely get the house cup this year and our Ron here might just be our new keeper.” I say as I put my arm around Ron’s and he puts his head on my shoulder from exhaustion.

“Yeah ‘Mione, you should’ve seen me on the pitch today, I was absolutely unstoppable…Oh! And by the way,” Helifts his head from my shoulder and looks at me, “You know that Cormac McLaggen guy?”

“Yes…?” I respond, unsure of where this conversation will go.

“Do you think you’d want to go out with him?”

I’m caught off guard with hi s question and stutter my response, “W-what? I…I don’t know, I mean…maybe? I don’t know. What, why?”

“He asked me to hook you guys up on the pitch earlier and I just wanted to make sure you wouldn’t want to actually go out with him before I bash his head against a wall.”

Harry grabs a couple of books from different shelves and puts them down on our table.

I laugh before answering, “No Ron don’t worry about bashing his head, I don’t know him that well, maybe he’s a good guy, I might go out with him or I might not, we’ll see.”

Ron and Harry had always been like brothers to me. And Ron was especially always overprotective. We’d spent almost all of our childhood together his family and I, since I hated being in my h̶o̶m̶e̶ house so much, the Weasley’s had almost taken me in as one of their own and I never felt any more or less than them. I would stay at either their house or at Sirius’, making all of us that much closer.

“Hey Y/N?” Harry says slowly, looking at something behind me. “Why is Nott glaring at you?”

“What?” I say, confused, as I turn around to find the dark haired boy glaring at me, his quill half snapped in his strong hold. We hold eye contact for a second before he breaks away, turns to Blaise besides him, picks up his things and quickly strides out the library, his cologne lingering as he passes me.

“That’s strange.” Hermione recites my thoughts.

“Right? What’s his deal? Anyway,” Ron says before turning to Harry but my thoughts linger to that moment.

What’s going on?

✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚

About a week later in potions, Theo won’t even look at me much rather talk.

“Hello? What’s your deal?” I whisper, waving my quill in front of his blue eyes trying to catch his attention.

He breaks away from his daze and (finally) meets my eyes.

“Hm? What? No I’m fine.” He says, resting his head on his fist and looking ahead at Slughorn explaining the reaction of something.

I furrow my brows.

“Upset with how well our team is doing? I bet you can already tell we’ll kick your Slytherin arses.” I smirk at him but he doesn’t seem to notice my remark and has that laid out look in his eyes again.

“Theo?” I say more gently and brush my hand against his arm lightly.

He immediately flinces away in…pain? Which only worries me further.

Did I do something wrong?

He blinks a few times before meeting my eyes with his blue ones and I can see a slight hint of pain in them as they get slightly glassy.

“Theo what’s wrong?” I say again in the same quiet gentle tone. Luckily we're at the back of the dark room and everyone else is too immersed in Slughorn’s lecture to notice us.

“I…” He starts off, “I’m not sure, I just- I don’t know.” He pauses for a moment before looking away, blinking his eyes and returning, “It’s nothing I’m…I’m fine don’t worry.” he flashes me a forced smile which only deepens my frown.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, of course. And for the record, we’re gonna win this Friday.” he smirks at me, going back to his normal state.

“What? No way, have you even seen your team? And anyway with you as captain, we’re sure to win.”

“Excuse me? We’ve got the best of the best this year, that house cup is ours.”

"With my level of quidditch experience, I can probably-"

"Even with that level of whatever, you're still 5”2."

"HEY-"

“Ahem.” Slughorn inturrepts me as everyone in the class looks back and I cower back into my seat with Theo trying to surperess his laugh in his hand.

Well. At least I made him smile.

“God I hope it doesn’t rain.” Harry says from besides me, looking up at the sky nervously in anticipation of the match in less than five minutes.

“Yeah me too.” I say equally as nervous.

“Alright alright alright! Welcome everyone to the first match of the season. We’ve got the two best teams, in my opinion, sorry ravens and puffs, Gryffindor verses Slytherin!” Lee Jordan calls out from his mic.

“Now we want a nice, clean game alright?” Lee continues with the speech he’s forced to read out at every match and I lock eyes with sparkling blue ones across the field which are already staring back at me.

I mouth “We’re gonna win” at him an he smirks at me before mouthing back, “You’ve got no chance, love.”

“...Alright and with that, let the match begin!”

We all take into the air, getting into our positions almost immediately.

After almost an hour the snitch hasn’t been caught yet by either Harry or Draco and we’re tied 7-7.

Cormac flies up to me when everyone is slow and visibly tired having played non stop at full effort for a while and are all waiting for one of the seekers to catch the snitch.

“Hey Y/N, what are you doing tomorrow?” he asks casually, as if we’re not in the middle of a quidditch match.

“Huh? Oh I don’t know.” I respond trying to flat away to hit the bludger, until I’m followed by Cormac once again.

“Well I was just wondering, you know if you don’t have any plans then maybe you’d like to go to Hogsmeade with me?”

“Yeah sure whatever Cormac.” I say trying to brush him off.

I need to focus on this game. I’ll deal with whatever this idiot’s blabbering on about later. Once we’ve won.

Cormac smiles and whispers a ‘yes!’ to himself and I look across to the goal post where I see Theo staring back at us with a look in his eyes.

It wasn’t anger but hurt?

I shot the bludger as hard as I could and scored another point at which time Harry had just caught the snitch. The crowd erupted into cheer and I should’ve been overjoyed like them but my mind was elsewhere.

What’s going on with him?

I land on the soft grass and am attacked by hugs from everyone around me.

✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚✧ ‧˚₊ ❆ ‧ ₊ ⊹˚

After freshening up I’m met by a drunk Hermione who tells me about a party in the Gryffindor common room celebrating our win.

“Ron’s planned it and of course he’s invited the whole Slytherin team as well and practically the whole school come to think of it. Anyways you know I’m not one for parties or anything like this but the boys have already given me enough polyjuice potion than my water weight so I kind of want to be there.” she suddenly erupts into a mess of giggles and I hold her up as we enter the Gryffindor common room.

It’s flooded with people but a few stand out to me. Harry and Ginny are on the sofa with Ron coming in between them a few of my friends are in small bunches here and there and Cormac is staring straight at me with a drink in his hand and a stupid smirk on his face.

Ew.

Hermione shouts over the music that she was going to get another drink and I scan the room for anyone available that I could talk to so I could avoid Cormac, and my eyes land on a figure reading a book and having a smoke in the corner of the room.

This should be fun.

HP FESTS: Dramione Month (Part 5)

Dramione Month 2024:

Deja Vu by Catmint and Thyme (Languish_Locked_in_L) - E, WIP - Draco and Hermione are both oblivated and remember nothing about magic or their previous lives—however, when they meet again in muggle London, an instant connection develops. Is it love at first sight, or something else?

In Between The Silence by ohthedrarry - M, WIP - Hermione Granger, in an effort to escape her parents' divorce and earn a place at Cambridge, has accepted a scholarship to Hogwarts Boarding School, one of the top-ranked schools in the UK. While there, she meets a group of students her friends call the Fae -- and they live up to their name, practically floating down the halls with their pitch-black or honey-colored eyes while keeping to themselves. Soon enough, however, she learns that they aren't humans or fae at all but something much more sinister. And their presence has awoken another animal so ancient the world had laughed its existence away.

Curse Breaker by writes_and_wrongs - E, WIP - It's been six years since the war ended. Six years of healing. Six years of repairing his image. And six years since he last saw Hermione Granger. But when Muggles are damaged from several cursed Viking items in a museum, Draco and Theo contact the one person who can fix this. The one witch that completely disappeared without a word six years ago. Draco knows that Hermione has secrets. And he's willing to go to drastic lengths to discover them. But when he finds out, will he be strong enough to stay and face them? Or will he run from them just like he's been running from his trauma? This Draco POV story follows an alternate universe after the war, where maybe the story at Hogwarts needs to be re-written. And maybe Hermione and Draco had more history than they let their friends in on. This is a WIP for Dramione Month 2024. I will be updating as often as I can :) I hope you'll stick around and explore these two idiots in love with me. As always, I guarantee a HEA and plenty of Ron-bashing when I'm able.

Won't You Let Me In? by galaxy_skies - E, one-shot - Honestly, Hermione should have expected that something would happen on their wedding night. After two years she’d gotten used to peculiar occurrences – Draco’s “weird fairy shit” that he’d mumble explanations for while not quite meeting her eyes, no matter how many times she assured him that it was fine, that she didn’t mind, that she loved him no matter what. So far, “weird fairy shit” had included, but was not limited to: snacking on rose petals, sneezing blue goo (all over Hermione’s favourite book), keeping a strand of her hair wrapped around his finger like a bizarre engagement ring, having his eyes glow softly silver when he was sloppily drunk and declaring his undying love, not taking his boxers off when they had sex, and loving her with so much intensity that Hermione felt like she could drown in him. And now this.

Fifth Time's the Charm (Plus One) by JessicaLovejoyAO3 - E, one-shot - This was a personal challenge to insert as many prompts from Dramione Month 2024 as possible. See how many you can spot by the end! It was a one-shot that got away from me!

Not the Weather by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - Between one minute and the next, the rain turns from uncomfortable to torrential. Hermione ducks under the overhang of the closest awning – a flower shop, the wilting stems brushing against her coat as she contemplates wringing out her sopping hair. “You can come inside, if you want,” A voice calls, startling her. Hermione turns to see the shop’s owner – presumably – wearing a green apron and a friendly smile as he gestures her through the open door.

Long Nights by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - It was only happenstance that she saw the painting at all – only chance that led her down this street and not another – and she doesn’t want to risk coming back tomorrow only to find the picture already gone. Not when it looks like her. Not when it’s the closest she’s been to him for months.

Crash Into Me by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - Hermione is watching Ginny – only half paying attention, her mind wandering – when a player with a shock of white-blond hair dashes past her on his broom. Thoughts of what she wants for dinner scatter as Hermione sits up straighter and scans the Quidditch field. Ginny – the Harpies – are playing against one of the Irish teams, the Ballycastle Bats, and their black uniforms had reminded Hermione briefly of Death Eaters and Draco Malfoy. And now she could swear she’s seeing him – chasing after the Snitch, according to the announcer – his white hair flying behind him and contrasting against his black robes.

Sleeping With Your Seeker by GreenInk_RedLetters - M, 6 chapters - In which Hermione is so fed up with Ron's fantasy quidditch addiction-yes, a wizard's fantasy football–that she resolves to sleep with his prized Seeker. The only catch? It's Malfoy...and there are feelings involved. (Because of course there are.)

The White Rose by Serpent_Sortia - E, WIP - What if Voldemort realised that Draco’s failure to kill Dumbledore and his weakness for Dark Magic opened the door for him to be useful in other ways? This was inspired by a morning shower thought where I wondered what would happen if Voldemort utilised Draco the way that President Snow used Finnick. [WANRING: Rape/Non-Con]

Striking a Chord by RavenclawViking - E, WIP - When Hermione goes to a concert of her favourite and notoriously anonymous band, she is shocked to discover that Draco Malfoy is the front singer. But discovering that her childhood nemesis leads a secret life as a rockstar is not the only surprise that awaits her.

Only the Ribs Remain by goldengirlwrites, paigetopage - not rated, WIP - The war is over and Voldemort has won. On the one year anniversary of his victory, the Dark Lord introduces the Games of Retribution, where eighteen young Azkaban prisoners will fight each other in a tournament to the death, with the assistance of nine of his own followers as Mentors. Hermione Granger has spent a blurry nightmare of a year in Azkaban when she's retrieved to participate in the Games and then forced to pair up with one of her former peers for survival. With his family’s reputation in shambles, Draco Malfoy sees the Mentorship in the Games as his only chance to regain his position in this new society. What he doesn’t account for is how Hermione Granger’s arrival might affect his chances at winning. They may say it's a game, but someone will have blood on their hands. A Hunger Games/Voldemort wins AU

Seventy-Four by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - Hermione closes her eyes and then slowly opens them again. The headline in the Daily Prophet doesn’t change. DRACO MALFOY FOUND CURSED IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

The Mystery of Elizabeth Dean by RevelRunic - not rated, 3 chapters - no summary

Second Chances by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - “I need a favour,” Harry says on the other end of the phone, and Hermione twines her fingers through the cord. “But you won’t like it.” Hermione sighs. “What do you need, Harry?” It’s her night off and she just wanted to curl up with Crookshanks and relax, but the telephone had rung twice. Not quite an emergency, but not something to ignore. “There was a mix-up with the Portkeys. Malfoy got snagged by muggle police and needs someone to bail him out.” There’s a pause – Harry drawing in a breath – and Hermione closes her eyes to brace herself for the inevitable. “Can you – we’re swamped over here – I barely managed to get away to ring you.”

Nobody's Watching by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - “Hermione,” Theo says slowly, turning the bottle over in his hands. “Can I offer you some unsolicited advice?” “If you let me buy the potion,” Hermione mutters. “Otherwise I’ll just go elsewhere.” With a sigh, Theo sets the potion down on the counter between them. “I don’t know what you’ve got in your head convincing you that your normal hair is some hideous mess, but you should really stop listening to it.” With two fingers he pushes the bottle closer towards her. “On the house, Granger.”

Echoes of Another Life by anna_hawk - G, WIP - Hermione Granger, a renowned curse-breaker, is called upon to face one of her most dangerous assignments yet. What she doesn’t expect is to be partnered with Draco Malfoy, a former enemy and an expert in dark magic. Thrown together by circumstance, Hermione and Draco must navigate the tension of their shared past while unraveling a curse that threatens more than just their safety. As they delve deeper into the ancient ruins, old rivalries give way to an unexpected partnership, but neither is prepared for the emotional and magical challenges ahead. With powerful dark forces at play, they must rely on each other more than ever, facing not only deadly curses but the possibility that their connection runs deeper than either is willing to admit.

Ficlets for Dramione month 2024 by grangermalfoy07 - E - no summary

Lonely Nights by galaxy_skies - T, one-shot - “Harry,” Draco says, trying to sound patient and evidently failing from the way Harry’s eyebrows raise. “She’s my wife-“ “I cannot talk about confidential matters,” Harry says, with a patience that must come from having three small children and that Draco will never be capable of. Draco scowls and swipes a hand between them, almost knocking over his own glass of wine. “It’s been two weeks-“

[dronarryfest]

Here we are on week two of Dronarry Fest 24! We've had some incredible works this week. Here's a roundup of everything from week 2 (last week's post can be found here). Thank you to all of our wonderful readers for commenting and kudos-ing - keep them coming! We've got one more wonderful week of works to share with you from Monday onwards! Until then, why not stick the kettle on and catch up on what you've missed...

[FIC] The Favourite || E || 17k || by @mallstars

On a throne of glitzing clutter, Draco Malfoy sits like a degenerate prince. His robes are the colour of sour champagne, celestial patterns stitched across the sweeping silk where it drapes over sharp shoulders and cradles a spindly waist. A rain of glitter dangles from one of his ears, and his expression is nauseating. The curl of his lip, the upturn of his pompous nose. Draco is a criminal. Harry and Ron are the Aurors who arrest him.

💭 absurdly hot- horribly hot? hotly horrible? perfect - garagepaperback

💭 holy moly this just drips with atmosphere and tension and its glorious... i love love love this fucked up dynamic thats also so sweet and human and morally ambiguous and hot - littlepocketbattleship

[FIC] Nightswimming || M || 5k || by @sweet-s0rr0w

Weasley flicks the light on. “I got off with a guy once, you know,” he says, casually, holding the torch up between his gloved fingers. “What?” says Draco, glancing over sharply. “No, you didn’t.” “I did,” Weasley insists, and there’s an air of mischief about him now. “Just after the divorce.” Draco tightens his grip on the steering wheel and wills his eyes to stay on the road, a dozen different scenarios playing out vivid in his mind. “But Harry’s never—” “Yeah, well.” Weasley clicks the torch back off. “Turns out Harry and I don’t share everything, after all.”

💭 This was wonderful!! The tension, next level 🔥🔥🔥 and I love how Harry is such a big part of this even though he's not physically there. So clever! - lemonlimelea

💭 What a feast - the prose, the dialogue, the teasing curiosity morphing into irresistible want, the clever and careful character development underneath it all. Everything so masterfully crafted and scorching hot I could feel my cheeks burning and they haven’t even kissed. What the fuck. I’m entranced still 🥵 - sitp

[FIC] Welcome, Peasants || E || 15k || by @fluxweeed

Ron was doing Draco a favour by agreeing to investigate him. Better Ron than someone who’d plant something horrific to get Draco sent to Azkaban—or some pervy Potter fanatic who’d spend the whole hour sniffing the dirty clothes on Harry’s bedroom floor. Even though Ron had to take Polyjuice and break into their flat to do it, Harry and Draco would understand. They’d appreciate it. And if Ron had done more “investigating” and less “snogging his best friend while Polyjuiced as said best friend’s secret boyfriend”, maybe it would have all been fine.

💭 Love the dynamics between the three of them - and the reveal that Ron caused Harry and Draco to get together was so unexpected and absolute perfection! Hot and amazing as always, I’m so delighted you choose to share these with us. ❤️ - rainstormradish

💭 I absolutely love that Ron is so absolutely bad at it that they clock him immediately, leaving him with his squirmy, guilty, horny feelings as they rightly should. Perfect interplay of the three of them. Yes! Yes! yes! (One for each of them). - skeptique

[FIC] Careless || E || 2k || by @piximera

They hadn't seen anyone in weeks, making them a little careless about the protective charms. Unfortunately for once they really fucked up, leaving them in the clutches of six Death Eaters. Being caught was bad enough, but then Scabior forces Draco into raping Harry in front of them before the Dark Lord arrives.

💭 HOLY SHIT this WAS dirtyhotwrong for sure! 🔥🔥🔥 Wow. Fantastic job, and thanks so much for the gift 🥰 - Schmem_14

💭 This is so dark and angsty, love seeing this take on the pairing. Thank you!!! - oknowkiss

[FIC] Dick Chicken || E || 14k || by @oknowkiss

This is a story about nothing.

💭 HOW DO YOU DO IT?! Can I climb inside your brain and live there?! God this was so goddamn amazing. I just love it more than I can say. - nv-md

💭 oh my ever-wanking LAMB this was too brilliant. i am going to die of having read this fic. it is simultaneously too funny (in honor of the source material) and too hot (not at all in honor of the source material). - elskan_ellis

[thedrarrylibrarian]

Do you have any recs for Drarry struggling with trauma or ptsd during 8th year? Please and thank you!

Hello! Your holds have arrived!

I took the liberty of giving you MORE RECS and splitting this rec list into two parts! Be sure to check out last week's list for the first part of these recs!

Eighth Year + Trauma 2

A Sliver of Hope by @goldentruth813 (539 words, rated G)

Draco doesn't have much to offer, but he'll gladly share what he does have.

say something by @gallifrey1sburning (1,190 words, rated M)

“The world I was raised for is dead,” he stated, his voice flat. “And good riddance, I suppose, but there’s no place for me here. I was molded to ascend in a society that burned. It might have been better if I had burned with it.”

Destination: Healing by @stargazing-enby (2,027 words, rated T)

As much as he refused to think about it, the truth was something in Harry’s chest unravelled in those dawn-hued moments of quiet when his body was heavy against the bathroom door frame, the Cloak heavy on his shoulders, and his gaze heavier than any of the two on the rise and fall of Malfoy’s breathing.

The Swallows Will Return by @thisbloodycat (4,621 words, rated E)

Harry wasn’t sure what he’d expected from life after the war—peace, obviously, maybe a sense of accomplishment—but it certainly hadn’t been this.

to be a bit of warmth (for you) by @softlystarstruck (9,304 words, rated M)

As some of the only eighth years to return to Hogwarts, Harry doesn't know how he and Draco will manage to be roommates for a whole year without resorting to violence. But Draco is too quiet, and too thin, and wears layers of sweaters that he tucks over his fingers. So they fall into an unspoken routine, one that soothes Harry as much as it helps Draco, one that's so much easier than Harry thought it would be.

Until it all falls apart, and Harry realizes he holds the world in his hands.

Dragons Don’t Talk by @rama-thorn (15,805 words, rated T)

In which Harry can't talk, Hermione soon will have a nervous breakdown, Ron's just confused and Draco has some illwishers (and talks a lot).

Cascade by @avonneslovelies (18,738 words, rated M)

Harry wants to touch, and Draco wants to be touched. If only they could figure it out.

Heartache by @bixgirl1 (25,577 words, rated E)

What if the one person you least expect is the only one who really understands what you've gone through?

Inside Your Mind by lazywonderland (36,376 words, rated E)

Goyle's taken it upon himself to act as Malfoy's personal, one-man guard and Harry can't help but feel like it's only making the bullying worse.

The July Tree by @oknowkiss (51,637 words, rated E)

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

Diffraction Patterns (I Don't Know How to Forget You) by @yourdifferentoctober (93,636 words, rated E)

When Harry Potter, of all people, offers to help Draco erase his Dark Mark, he has no choice but to accept. He wants it gone. He wants to forget. He wants to reconstitute the past. Never mind that erasures leave real marks on bodies, real traces on the world in its becoming. This is not how he expected his eighth year to go.

[sitp-recs]

Thank you so much for your recs—they are fantastic! I wondered if you had any for Draco and Harry becoming friends at (and eventual lovers) at Hogwarts (doesn’t have to start with 1st year, but can!). Thank you!!

Hi there! Happy you’re enjoying the recs 😊 I got a couple recs, the majority is 8th year since I don’t really read canon rewrite AUs. I hope you enjoy these!

Thermodynamic Equilibrium by DorthyAnn (T, 5k)

Harry's far too hot. Draco's always cold. And somehow against all odds, together they create a perfect equilibrium.

Good Company by Greenflares (T, 8k)

With Hermione and Ron always together, Harry's return to Hogwarts to complete his education isn't exactly fun. Somehow, it's his unlikely friendship with Malfoy that keeps him sane.

Stand Back: I'm About to Perform Archaeology by Blowfish_Diaries (E, 10k)

A new Muggle Studies professor takes the Eighth Year students to work on an archaeological excavation. In which Draco is lazy, Harry is sweaty, Hermione is drunk, and Ron turns red.

Nice Things by aideomai (M, 22k)

The first thing that happened was Theodore Nott came back from France.

Makes Me Stronger by Lomonaaeren (E, 29k)

Rita Skeeter’s Harry James Potter: An Unnatural History is a best-seller, mostly due to the fact that Skeeter’s collaborated with a photographer who’s infused the pictures in the book with Harry’s actual memories. As Harry struggles to survive the storm consuming his eighth year at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy becomes an unexpected ally.

On Our Way by evils (E, 30k)

Draco is trying to spend the summer keeping his head down, but a repair project and a certain snowy owl have other plans for him.

Eager for the Sky by @oknowkiss (E, 35k)

It was announced, just as the Triwizard Tournament had been, at the start of term feast. A year-long, international Quidditch varsity match — the inaugural Wizarding Academy Cup. In which Harry is Hogwarts' star Seeker, Draco is on the bench, and they both have a thing or two to learn about playing for the same team.

Like Lightning at Your Fingertips by potterwatch (T, 43k)

The problem with living with another insomniac is, eventually, they find out you’re one, too. When Harry and Draco return for their eighth year, they think they’ll see very little of each other. Then McGonagall assigns them to room together. And the castle starts breaking. And there’s that thing with Potter’s magic.

The July Tree by @oknowkiss (E, 51k)

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail… nor well-meaning friends, nor questionable communication skills, nor seven years of hating each other’s guts can keep Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy from falling in love.

The Promise of Summer by Omi_Ohmy (M, 67k)

How was Harry supposed to know that coming back for eighth year would be so confusing? Everything is the same, and yet not the same. And nowhere is this more obvious than with Draco Malfoy. Harry finds himself once more watching and following Malfoy, trying to work him out. When they are drawn together to heal the castle, Harry doesn’t just find Malfoy - he also finds himself.

Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 88k)

Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that something’s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when one’s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; he’s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.

Helix by Saras_Girl (E, 93k)

Seven months after the end of the war, Harry is feeling lost. Fortunately, he is about to be offered an unexpected and sparkling chance to find himself again.

Changing Tides by carpemermaid (E, 109k)

Draco has spent half of his life spouting the things his father has taught him without much thought about how he feels about what he says. When he unexpectedly comes face to face with the Dark Lord, he grapples with the harsh realities of the world and struggles with his changing views on life.

Written on the Heart by who_la_hoop (E, 114k)

Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.

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.
