Love your recs. Any recs on established Drarry ( several years married), sweet, fluffy and smutty?

Thank you anon! 💗 I hope you enjoy these sweet married!Drarry treats:

On the Balcony by @firethesound (E, 4k)

Life had been hectic for both of them lately, and Harry was looking forward to a quiet evening at home. Having a romantic dinner on the balcony of their flat sounded like just the thing.

Grounding Harry by @nerdherderette (M, 4.5k)

Harry’s in his fifties, and it’s looking like it’s time to retire from professional Quidditch. Draco sets out to remind Harry that he will always be a star in his eyes.

Proves the Rule by @sweet-s0rr0w (M, 4.5k)

The first time Harry spots his husband in another universe, he's arm in arm with Astoria Greengrass.

I See You by @l0vegl0wsinthedark (E, 7k)

They haven’t fucked in over three months now; or maybe it’s been longer. The last time they fooled around at all was a week ago when Harry woke Draco up by sucking him off, before promptly getting interrupted when Scorpius came banging at their bedroom door.

Surviving the Horde by FleetofShippyShips (T, 7k)

Draco has managed to avoid Christmas at the Burrow for ten years, but not this year.

Up the by @shiftylinguini (E, 7.5k)

“I feel I need to point out,” Draco kissed gently over Harry’s Adam’s apple, “that this is the most Gryffindor approach to conception that could possibly exist.”

Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright) by @pineau-noir (E, 9k)

Sex is hard to come by when you're 40 and have kids. Or: Five times Harry and Draco tried and failed to have sex and one time they were successful.

2022 in Fic

I am feeling rather bashful about posting this, but fuck it. I was tagged, and I shall answer. When I look back at 2022 in fic, all I can think of is you, friends.

Perdition - LCD is the fest that got me into fandom. @celilasart, thank you for being so welcoming and patient. I would have been alone on an island without you.

Rebel, Rebel - @ladderofyears, Jasper, and @daisiesfordragons cheered me on, beta read, alpha read, and brit-picked. I felt so loved and cared for--that was my intro to fandom, and I immediately knew I was in the right place. @anaxandria-writes bound it beautifully, and I'm still in awe that I have two of my fics literally sitting on my bedside table.

Grey Eyes and Lies - I got paired with the one and only @veelawings for RBB and got to go crazy/get to know better someone I really admire. Then I struggled since it was my first dark!fic and @m0se helped me to the finish line. I also met @shealynn88 while writing this one, so it's extra special.

Pictor - My dreams came true and I got to work with @crazybutgood, AND I got to keep the physical artwork!!! It didn't get as many kudos and what not as my heart thought it deserved, but @corvuscrowned helped me get past it. I am so grateful for both of you.

The Island Assignment - @lqtraintracks showed me that my writing has the potential to go beyond stereotypes with a simple change of phrase or scene. I'm still mind-blown every time you touch anything I write.

Erised (revealed NEXT WEEK, links to collection) - I was so scared because I tried something new, but @tackytigerfic helped me feel better about it. @skeptiquex beta-ed, and now I scrutinize every sentence I write [in a good way].

Kinkuary 2022 - This collection has @thebooktopus's fingerprints all over it. My first fandom friend! I was so nervous about writing smut, but then I got to beta her incredible Tonks/Charlie fic. It was so empowering and inspired me to write this collection.

Penitent - Where the priest kink so many of you know me for started. I love y'all for tagging me on all the priest kink stuff to this day <3

Green, Blue & Royally Screwed - My first fic to get a bad review in the bookmarks. It stung! @basicallyahedgehog @phoebe-delia were there to soothe my ego and throw things/elbows with me. I adore you two. This I think was the first time I wrote as it was beta-ed, and honestly, it would not be what it became without @curlyy-hair-dont-care, goddess of fandom. Really, truly.

A Dream & An Allen Wrench - A shorty, but this was the first time I poured my heart on paper. I've done it twice now, and the second time was much more difficult. It was as easy as breathing the first time because it was for @geesenoises. I treasure you, friend.

Sex, Love and Skateboarding - Taught me that I need to read squick lists CAREFULLY lol & I wouldn't even be in this fandom without my BELOVED @greenmegsnoham. Cheers to prancing around fandoms together in the coming year <3

A Kingdom or This - I got to play in Wolfstar, write with a partner, AND meet @second-sister. I've been a horrendous partner, but getting back into this fic is the first thing I'll do after I get over this wretched cold!

I started writing without knowing that it would bring me to this community and more love and support than I ever expected. Thank you for making my year. & though it's not exactly fic, I also want to send so much love to @pineau-noir, @phd-mama, @digthewriter, and @sugareey-makes-stuff from the local crew - your friendship means so much to me.

On to 2023.

If you're feeling the love - consider yourself tagged <3

[sugareey-makes-stuff]

A little challenge: pick out your favorite sentence that you've written recently. One sentence. No context. Tag some friends. Thanks for the tag, @vdoshu! Lately, I’ve been knee-deep in Teen Wolf writing mode (though I'm hoping to pick up some HP ficlet and drabble writing again soon-ish). I honestly couldn’t keep it to one line without there being a punch, so oops?! :P Anyway, here’s something for ya I guess:

It was all the distraction and noise he could handle at the moment. Things to pass the time so he didn’t have to think or do anything. Which was all fine. Except it really wasn’t. Maybe it never had been, even though Stiles had tried so hard to convince himself otherwise.

Tagging (and this is just for funsies, so no pressure): @lumosatnight, @kellerific-writing, @vitaminpops, @sterekbros, @anaxandria-writes, @nerdherderette, @crazybutgood, @phdmama, @raisesomehale, @zaharya, @pineau-noir, @makeitp1nk and anyone else who wants to join in! I’d love to see what you’re writing for any and all of the fandoms! <3

Grosperrin MMC 1 Mistelle-type Pineau des Charentes 7 years 17% 750ml

A unique French fortified aperitif, perfect gift for the wine or spirit lover who has tried everything... MMC1 stands for "mout mute au Cognac" or must blended with Cognac. It is made from fresh grape musts, added to Cognac, and aged together for 7 years minimum in french oak barrels. The MMC1 was made at a small estate in Petite Champagne. Bottled without any addition of sulphur nor sugar. Limited quantities.

Straw yellow colour. On the nose, lots of fruit and minerality. On the palate, very soft, not very sweet. Nice acidity, balanced.

[furcafe]

A perfect day to pop into @revelershour for an impromptu birthday dinner as I happened upon Natural Wine Royalty night: tried @sebastianvandesype_winery ‘s Ancestrale Lambrusco dell’Emilia & met the man himself (also had some of @jeanpierre_robinot ’s 2021 Pineau d’Aunis Blend Pét Nat “Années Folles” & met him). Lens c.1993-9, camera c.2019.

💫 - highly recc’d

—

LONG & LUXURIOUS (>10k)

In the Dead of Night by Stargazer_01 [Bellatrix/Hermione, E, 180k] *Featuring a snowball fight (or two).

Hermione discovers something about her professor that leads her to go knocking on her door, late at night.

Hey Dorcas by moonymoment [Marlene/Dorcas, T, 14.0k] *Featuring a spring breeze, autumn flowers, and winter snow.

Halfway through, her hand slips and she accidentally gets blue glitter spray on Marlene’s headboard. It won’t come off, no matter how much they scrub it. Dorcas takes her wand out to perform a Scourgify, but Marlene gently pushes her hand away and says to leave it... Dorcas’s heart skips a beat.

MEDIUM & MESMERIZING (3k-10k)

The Last Train by Midnight_Owlat_Musings [Hermione/Narcissa, G, 7.1k] *Featuring dancing in the rain.

Hermione always catches the last train of the evening. Then she sees her...

Soft as Snow by @lamiacalls [Narcissa/Lily, T, 5.2k] *Featuring a snow day abroad.

It should have been the first extramural match between the Hogwarts girl's Quidditch team and Durmstrang. Instead, the girls have gotten themselves snowed in at a hostel in Norway. Or; Lily tries to bring relief to a claustrophobic Narcissa.

S E A S O N S by ThatFilmGraduate [Marlene/Dorcas, Other Pairings, NR, 4.7k] *Featuring the four seasons of love.

For Marlene McKinnon, Spring means Dorcas Meadowes and infinite love. For Peter Pettigrew, Summer means Dyanola Dearborn and mutual obsession. For Remus Lupin, Autumn means Sirius Black and pure bravery. For Lily Evans, Winter means James Potter and absolute safety.

💫 Days Like This by @ravenclawsquill [Millicent/Pansy, E, 3.1k] *Featuring a dark and stormy night.

Pansy had heard the others talking about Millie's new style, claiming they'd always known she was a dyke, but Pansy was increasingly at a loss as to why that was a bad thing. It wasn't that Millie looked pretty – she didn't – but she certainly wasn't plain any more: she was striking.

Feast by @gracerene [Daphne/Pansy, E, 3.0k] *Featuring a cozy thunderstorm.

Pansy looks good enough to eat, and Daphne's starving.

SHORT & SWEET (<3k)

💫 Nirmal by @crazybutgood [Cho/Padma, G, 2.8k] *Featuring a monsoon rain.

निर्मल [Nirmal] (Hindi) — pure: (1) clean; e.g. The pure water of tropical, torrential rains. (2) complete, total; e.g. The pure joy of running and splashing in the downpour with a loved one.

Biting the Truth in the Dark by @triggerlil [Lavender/Hermione, E, 1.5k] *Featuring a wet and rainy day.

She just has one rule: they never fuck with the lights on. Oh, and no falling in love.

💫 Glory-of-the-snow by @pineau-noir [Luna/Ginny, G, 1.3k] *Featuring a first snow.

The first snow is always the hardest. Ginny remembers Luna.

Looking for Laughter by @paulamcg [Cho/Luna, G, 1.2k] *Featuring a light snowfall.

A week after the Yule Ball, Luna hopes she can comfort Cho.

💫 Beneath the Rain by vendettadays [Hermione/Pansy, T, 1.1k] *Featuring kissing in the rain.

Pansy stepped out from under the safety of the tent and into the heavy rain, uncaring that she was ruining her perfectly-styled hair. A black umbrella covered Pansy and she turned to see Hermione Granger standing beside her.

💫 In Wind and In Rain by @voldiebuns [Lavender/Ginny, G, 528] *Featuring kissing in the rain.

Ginny looked so free out on a broom, wild and happy like that was truly the place where she was meant to be. Even in the drizzle slowly soaking the pitch, she was in her element.

in which i list every single drarry fic i’ve read this week in hopes that you, dear reader, find a fic you like too!

✩ - a fave | 🔥 - hot | 🌼 - gentle read

spotlight rec

✩ Two Trees by @eelwinks [E, 36k] 🔥🌼

In his Eighth year at Hogwarts, part of Draco Malfoy's probation is to see a Mind Healer once a week. Another part, unfortunately, is having to take Muggle Studies. It wouldn't be so bad, really, if it weren't for the mandatory outing—a 'field trip'—booked at a Muggle lakeside retreat for the better part of five days. Draco is determined to get it all over with as painlessly as possible. That is, until Pansy tells him—at the very last moment—that she's schemed to have Draco stay in the same room with Potter for the whole trip. Just the two of them... in one room.

longer reads

You always open (petal by petal) by birdsofshore [E, 65k] 🔥

Harry’s not the kind of person who pays for sex. He really isn’t. Until he is. [H/D Erised 2017]

✩ Lost N Found by @famoustruth [T, 10k] 🌼

The six times Draco writes love letters to Harry without either of them knowing and the one time they do.

short & sweet

✩ (Un)Anticipated by anon [E, 8.3k] 🔥

Though he won't ever admit it—not even years later, when Draco's giving Harry shit about it right before they go to sleep, the bedside light just dim enough to hide the worst of his blush—it takes Harry an embarrassingly long time to realise that something is wrong. [H/D Cluefest 2022]

✩ Draco Malfoy and the Broken Room by anon [T, 7.3k]

A drunk and morose Draco gets trapped in the Room of Hidden Things with Potter of all people. Now, he’s got to figure out how to make peace with the Golden Boy long enough to get out. [H/D Cluefest 2022]

✩ and they called it puppy love by @pineau-noir [T, 5.8k] 🌼

Five times Draco unsuccessfully tries to get his and Harry's Crups to mate and the one time they're successful. [H/D Career Fair]

The Picardy Third by @blue--dreaming with art by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm [T, 4.8k]

After the war, Harry and Draco are both struggling. As events contrive to draw them together, can they help each other move forward? [H/D Erised 2021]

✩ Winning Losses by @shiftylinguini [T, 1.7k]

Draco wins against Potter at something, or at least he thinks he does. It actually really sucks.

✩ The Mirror Room by @lqtraintracks [E, 466 words] 🔥

Inside the room, this is who they are.

Self-Rec Saturday Sunday

Thank you for tagging me, @tackytigerfic, it's so nice of you to include artists in this tag game too! Y'all, make sure to check out Tacky's list HERE 🙌💕

This thing made me realize just how many pics and comics I created throughout my blogging years - it was actually a bit hard to choose my own 5 favorite pieces, but as for today those would be:

drarry pirate!au for @onbeinganangel - my latest pic that I'm self-reccing all over the place but I'm honestly so happy how it turned out that I can't help myself, I hope you will forgive me and indulge this recent pirate obsession of mine some more...

2. ginsy pic for @pineau-noir - it was my first try with no-lineart pic and I loved the result and the process so much I started to do such pieces more often.

3. Just The Way You Are - a Parvati/Lavender/Greg comic I drew for HP Triad!Fest 2022, which happened to be another experiment as I told it without any traditional dialogue.

4. Poetry Smash! fanart - a piece which is over 3 years old now and yet I'm still so impossibly fond of it. In my les mis times my main ship was ExR but it's those guys that continue to live rent-free in my heart to this day and I'm hoping to draw them again sometime soon (hey @pilferingapples, how are you doing, co-captain? dfghjk)

5. Who Do You Call Old - a drarry comic I drew for Erised 2018 - it was my first drarry fest and my first comic that turned out this long and detailed which made me realize that I might not know how to write fics but I can share a story with you all anyway.

no pressure tags to share their own five favourite works for @slytherco @fomalhaut89 @klayr-de-gall @dragontamerdame @maria-tries @reebeex @elyonblackstar @lilbeanz @julcheninred @yasever-art @babooshkart and any of you who'd like to join, consider this your blanket tag 💖

finally after all this years... the four of them are here ;w; <3

Ooh. Do we still do the fic recs based on a word? Can you do cats? Or pets if it's easier? I'm a sucker for stories featuring characters taking care of animals.

Hi anon! Yes absolutely 😍🙌 love these, por que no los dos?? By the way I haven’t read it yet but @oflights’ new fic features ginger kittens and I bet it’s the cutest thing!

Cats

To Tame a Kitten (is to love) by @tsauergrass (G, 14k)

After the war, Harry finds solace in fostering orphaned kittens. One day, a kitten appears on his door step without explanation—and attacks him! Taking it in, he quickly finds that this kitten is nothing ordinary.

With Great Yawns and Stretchings by sugar_screw (T, 22k)

The coffee is very good. Really. And the cats are so cute. That's why Harry goes so often.

Breathe In (and Feel No Hurt) by Constance1 (T, 38k)

A tale of love, loss, and of finding hope again. Or the story of how Draco turned into a house-cat in order to secretly bother a depressed Harry Potter until he was no longer feeling sorry for himself.

Pets

Home is Where the Nifflers Are by @primavera-cerezos (G, 4k)

Draco has a soft spot for animals with nowhere to go; soon his and Harry's small flat is bustling with adorable, semi-dangerous creatures.

and they called it puppy love by @pineau-noir (T, 6k)

Or five times Draco unsuccessfully tries to get his and Harry's Crups to mate and the one time they're successful.

Partners of the Four-Legged Variety by carpemermaid (E, 18k)

The Auror Department is instating a K9 Crup Unit, and Harry is the first to sign up. Turns out the professional trainer is Draco Malfoy, and he has to live with Harry as part of the Crup training programme.

I’m Still Pretending (2020, 1.6k) by @justthingsfromsarah

Draco barked out a bitter laugh, “Potter, I never hated you.” It took a moment for Harry to realize the answering scoff had been his, but honestly, how was he supposed to believe that? Draco refused to meet his eyes, focusing instead on the coffee beans he was grinding by hand. “I didn’t know it was ok to feel like I this, so I pretended I hated you. I teased you, pulling pigtails mother used to call it. 

Always Pray Before You Eat :) by @night-iwan-light

AU gryffindor!draco by @nedjemmm-art & @danasauurrr

You’ve Got My Number (2022, 200 words) by @drarrily-we-row-along

200 words written for @drarrymicrofic ‘You’ve got my number’ (a loose interpretation 😂)

Tonight’s the Night (Gonna Be Alright) (2020, E, 9.1k) by @pineau-noir with art by @pan-da-hero commissioned by @cibeewastaken

Sex is hard to come by when you're 40 and have kids. Or: Five times Harry and Draco tried and failed to have sex and one time they were successful.

Harry and Draco with cats by @egonorainu

Draco discovers he’s literally the most talented person, 1984 & Summer Before Sixth Year by @short666bread

“gryffindor still won” “shut up” by @schnellertod

“Bad” Hair Day by @lilbeanz

Home County (2017, Gen, 10.7k) by orphan_account

Harry is an architect and the reluctant part-owner of his own firm. Malfoy works at The Ministry but doesn’t actually have a proper job title even though what he does sounds as though it’s pretty important. It would probably be harder not to become friends, when they have to sit through endless, dull meetings with each other, and skirt around some truly terrible weather, and deal with Harry’s irrational hatred of his assistant, and build thirty whole houses from the ground up in a wet field outside of London.

Sad boi Draco Malfoy by @luendland

Fic Binding of @sweet-s0rr0w’s Nor All That Glisters by @a-gay-old-time (including art by @fantalf and @deancebra)

“I was always flirting with you.” (1.6k) by @lou-isfake

“I was always flirting with you.” “What? When did that ever happen?” “I mean, I looked at you… And sometimes you looked back.”

eye of the storm by @the-starryknight

Touch my mouth (and hold my tongue) (2019, Explicit, 13.1k) by Etalice

This is the part of the story where everything turns into a disaster. This is the part where the world turns on its head and everything spins out of control. This is the part where you come violently against Malfoy in a dingy back alley, with quicksilver in your veins, ashes on your tongue and eyes shut so tight your entire vision turns to white. Harry doesn't know what exactly he’s doing with Draco, he doesn't know how their unspoken agreement even started, and doesn't know where it will end. The only thing he knows is: they can't ever tell anyone about it. Or I'll never be your chosen one from Harry's point of view

Operation Dragon’s Shenanigans (2022, Explicit, 14k) by @nv-md

Harry's in love with Draco, but it's complicated. Even more complicated than 'I'm in love with my ex-archnemesis and I get dizzy every time I see him smile'. No matter that Harry's an Auror, and always loved a good mystery, he's still having trouble figuring Draco out. And he's the only one who can see that Draco isn't a regular human. So, as he's done every year since he was eleven, Harry sets out to solve the mystery of 'Why is This Shit Happening to Me?'.

HD FangFest Week 2 Roundup

Our second week of bloody treats has wrapped! We hope you've enjoyed the gifts that our authors and artists have bestowed upon us, so far. Check the links below to take a bite out of the pieces that you missed the first time around! Keep your fangs peeled for necks week's offerings!!

Week 1 Roundup Post

Yours in Eternity, The Fangfest Mods 🧛🏽‍♂️

🦇 The Vampire Family by @isamijoo [40k | E]

Draco Malfoy and his friends are vampire hunters working for the Ministry of Magic. One day, they encounter a new threat: a family of vampires who can mask their own scents using their victims' magical signatures. These vampires target wix with strong magical powers, so of course, it's only a matter of time before they start targeting Harry Potter.

🦇 First Week of Eternity by Innerlilith [7.8k | E]

Moving in with the colleague you’d like to fuck is a bad idea for anyone. It’s worse when you’re a card-carrying member of the eternal dead. It’s exponentially worse when your already garlic-obsessed colleague-slash-crush-slash-roommate has recently discovered his distant Italian heritage. In which Draco tries desperately to hide that he’s recently become a vampire, and Harry tries desperately to feed him.

🦇 Hot-Blooded by @violenttulips [34k | E]

Draco doesn't even like Potter. He's certainly not in love with him. Except maybe he does, and maybe he is. He's not about to admit to any of it, no matter how good the sex is. And, to be clear: it's exquisite. In other words: In which Draco Malfoy is a vampire, and Harry Potter is a werewolf, and their enemies-to-friends with benefits-to-? relationship has evolved into something messier. And who are these people killing creatures in the streets? Someone should probably do something about that... It's going to be Potter. It's always Potter, isn't it? Stupid git. Draco hates him.

🦇 And Outta This World by @pineau-noir [3.5k | M]

A look into the life of the residents, human and vampire, of number 12 Grimmauld Place.

🦇 [ART] Nightshade by @short666bread [M]

Draco is dragged into the dark, once again.

🦇 Di sotto in sù by @opalesqueopioid [3.4k | E]

Draco thinks it's best they stop seeing each other. Harry disagrees.

🦇 let me be your sun by @owl-of-fandom [7.8 | M]

“Tell me you love me.” “Oh, darling.” The endearment falls from Harry’s lips as if the affection was his own. As if it wasn’t planted in his mind, in his heart, by me. “I love you."

🦇 Fanged Delight by @drwhoisginnyholmes [2k | E]

Draco’s finally returned to England after fleeing to France when he was turned into a vampire. Pansy and Blaise try to drag Draco's moping ass out of Malfoy Manor, but he’s still reluctant while doing so. Until he stumbles upon Potter’s cafe.

[teaandatale]

Last day of April check in @steggyfanevents​! I have not been able to complete my #steggyfanficchallenge like I expected but I did manage 4 bingos!

I didn’t realize how much I never got around to reading while fighting with my own writing muse, but I tried to really widen my reading and hope to continue it on. I also planned to leave comments on every fic, and a few of you are still owed some AO3 comments from me ASAP 😉

I have tried to tag everyone’s tumblr I could find below. If you haven’t been tagged and see your fic, feel free to let me know to tag you.

a mighty ocean or a gentle kiss by @avengeclintasha​

Comments: An absolute lovely use of parallel stories, with an equally lovely sequel.

First Kiss

Let Me Take Care of You by @rachlovesligers​

30k+ Word Length

Just One Thing by includewomeninthesequel / @cafecitowriter​

Coney Island

Goodbye, Dreamland by @littlereyofsunlight​

Comments: If you need to feel like you can feel sea water, sunshine and summer, this fic will transport you there! A lovely piece about a trip to Coney Island, that manages to be a dream while staying very firmly rooted in reality.

Fix-it Fic

A Second Chance At Keeping Him Safe by @buckywiththegoodhair86​

Comments: One of the comments on this fic was along the lines of “ooh Steve is the damsel in distress” and yes you need that in your life, and yes it is worth it. Truly a lovely bit of hurt/comfort full of my favorite Howlies.
