#and then fucking this week idk what's happening but i've reread it like at least twice this week i think probably more 😂

[evilwickedme]

Ooh, do you have any good Jason fic recs?

anon I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting to see those words!!!! yes I have good Jason fic recs in fact I have so many good Jason fic recs that after narrowing it down I still have fifteen links for you

I have read more fanfic for Jason Todd than maybe any other character ever. I do not understand the hold this man has on me but it's simply the situation we're in. anyway

Jason comes home fics

Make a Little Birdhouse In Your Soul is hands down my favorite. I'm talking favorite DC fic, top fics of all time period, not just from this list. I love this fic series. It is actively and regularly updating, thank fuck, because that little boost of serotonin is everything keeping me going I swear

The 70 Days After Groundhog Day is technically from Dick's POV, but it's about the aftermath of a timeloop that Jason was stuck in. it's. oh my god it's so good. just trust me on this one.

Emotional Motion Sickness is the "bruce goes to therapy" fic series we all want. canon get on this level

Retrograde Motion - I never used to like de-aging fics; not for any particular reason, I just never vibed with them. Recently I decided to see what all the fuss was about (bc there's so goddamn many in this fandom) and I'm glad, because I opened this fic and it's just. oh my god. the use of the de-aging trope here is truly incredible. after a whole week of dipping my feet into the trope I never need to do so again, because this fic made me fucking lose it. this is not going where you think it's going. also, for some reason there's not that much rebirth outlaws fic, and I really like what this author did with that team

matching wounds haha just gonna sneak my fic series on here and pretend that it was an accident, wait how did that get there (some jayroy later in the timeline too which can be read on its own if Jason coming home fics aren't for you)

other non-ship

Too Much Fucking Salt deals with the straw that broke the camel's back. I've read all 22k words of this in one sitting more than once. this is the anti "Jason Todd comes home" fic (this is in itself a whole genre of fic too honestly).

take his name out of your mouth (you don't deserve to mourn) is about Jason mourning himself, which he fucking deserves to. also he smokes a joint with Dick

Sown in Winter is about Jason pulling himself out of a depressive episode partially through the power of Stardew Valley. also technically jayroy, but it's honestly incidental to the story for the most part imo

JayRoy

I do read other ships for Jason but unabashedly this is my favorite, so

A Solid Resume - competency kink. that's all I have to say.

Tenderize is a series of oneshots all of which slowly build Jason and Roy's life together and coparenting lian and I just !!! could also double as a Jason coming home au but honestly that's mostly in the first fic. also a lot of discussion of various chain grocery stores in the united states that I will probably never actually step foot in

Dick Grayson and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Two to Three Weeks (But Who's Counting) is so fucking funny I die every time I reread this. there's a scene early on in a coffee shop that just. I don't even know what to say everything about this is perfect. I AM the girl sticking her nose in their business, at least spiritually.

dust devils on the horizon isn't even the only western au I've bookmarked for these two. something about jayroy and horses, man

unity of time: april 27th, 2020 is just,,,, super sad, man, idk what to tell you. it's f!jayroy, but happens after Roy died in sanctuary during the 24h of Jason's death day, so all of it is very fucking depressing. It's also fucking beautiful. I want to reread it now.

Promise After That I'll Let You Go is a poisonivory fic. I was introduced to poisonivory through the daredevil fandom earlier this year and may I tell you when I found out that this author writes for jayroy I lost my goddamn mind. this is my personal favorite, but I almost recommended at least two more aus. Their jayroy sugar daddy au is one of the only sugar daddy aus I've ever truly enjoyed. also really like the one where roy has had feelings for dick since their teen titans days but still starts a fwb thing with Jason. poisonivory can make me into kinks I'm not even into I s2g. anyway this one has lian literally dragging roy back into jason's life

finally, Reciprocation (or: Sex as Violence) shouldn't even really count as a jayroy fic but I feel weird putting it in the other category since it is sort of a jayroy fic. it's ace-aro!jason, which is one of my personal favorite interpretations of Jason (with so much textual evidence wtf), but there's still like... a lot of sex in this. Jason does not have a healthy relationship with sex in this fic. I would describe this as ending in a QPP for jayroy and lian.

honestly there's a lot of good jason and roy and lian fic out there I didn't rec cause this is already long enough

so yeah this is my very VERY pared down fic rec list for Jason Todd let me know if you want more and thank you so much for asking

[is-this-a-sideblog]

Maybe i'm just super lazy or something but it feels like any time I try to use one of my campuses resources I have to go through a maze or jump through hoops or something. Two great examples of this is:

Trying to request help from a librarian

Trying to get help from the mental health services.

(I get kinda sappy and wierd, just warning you)

For some of my classes last semester, I had to find academic resources as well as primary material for a project. My best bet? Ask a librarian who specializes in the topic I'm covering. The thing is l: I can't just walk up to a librarian and ask for help. Not a problem, because I can schedule an appointment online, right? Maybe, if I ever find which of the hundred links will take me to that leads me to the form. Email them directly? Always get an email back saying they are out of the office. Just walk in and ask to talk to someone, ANYONE. Get an assistant librarian that tells me to look up the sources online (which I've been TRYING to do because the deadlines approaching and I need something) or even worse, directs me to the main website where somewhere, surely, a form to schedule a meeting with one of the main librarians.

Next is trying to reach out to the CAPS services on campus. Idk if this happens to anyone else, but during the day I'm doing pretty well. I have classes and school work to keep me busy and if nothing else, I can go for a walk around campus.

It's at night that I feel like shit when all of my thoughts come rushing in. Without going in to too much detail about whats making me upset, just know I don't have many people that I feel comfortable talking to. My roomate? I love her to death, but not a chance. My best friend? Why bother her more than I need to. My family? Part of my unhappy thoughts involve them. Besides, I wasn't really raised to be that expressive.

So that leads me to the free and (hopefully) confidential mental health services on campus. Every time I feel brave enough to fill out a form to get a meeting, the website says "fuck you pal." It's always temporarily unavailable. Just tonight I've figured out why. You can only fill out a form in between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm. Since I usually feel fine around those times, I never think to do it. When I wake up innthe morning I've got enough to do that I just think I was being dramatic the night before and that everything's fine.

But how many times am I just being dramatic when it's the same thoughts over and over again at least three or four times a week at night?

Idk, just venting about this made me feel a bit better. I guess this sideblog will be my diary now lol. I always feel better when I write this kind of thing down because it gets out of my head and somewhere where I can reread my emotions.

That being said, I'm going to post it with just a few tags so if on the very off chance someone sees this, I can kinda see if it's just me being silly or not.

K bye.

So I've been daydreaming about Steven Grant largely thanks to Stuck and just how wonderfully you write your characters. I just feel so bad that he's so down on himself because everyone treats him like crazy because of his meak personality. But he's obviously so smart and clever. All of his historical knowledge and his eagerness to share it is just so endearing. And he's so kind. You can see it in the way he talks to the school girl in the museum and the way he goes all out for the date (even if that did end disastrously, that was out of his control 💔). I just feel like Steven is the kind of person you could truly be vulnerable with without being worried, you know? He wouldn't make fun or you or tease you. Anything you opened up to him about he'd truly treasure. Even if you were just excited about something you were passionate about, I have a feeling he'd want to learn more just so he could have more in common with you and be able to engage you in conversation more. Idk, I'm just feeling pretty sappy about him at the moment and wanted to share my thoughts on him. I'd love to hear your thoughts on him or anything else if you feel up to that 💕 (absolutely zero pressure and sorry for this wall of text 😅)

- Hera (@edhellen)

@edhellen, my sweet friend, I let this sit in my inbox all week because every time I read it, it made my heart do happy-flips haha.

I don't even know that I have anything to add other than just that you're so perfectly spot-on. Steven seems like the kind of person who is entirely unashamed of his own passion (like, he doesn't fuck with that depressing shit around how we're taught to tamp down our fervour for the things we love at a certain age/point lest we seem childish) and I like to think that, though he's deeply positive and resilient, it must get draining being surrounded by people who don't let themselves love things the same way he does.

Imagine Steven asking you what your favourite novel is. You offer up a standard, short response: the title, the barest outline of the synopsis, and an obligatory "So, yeah, it's really good!"

And he's completely dissatisfied with this. He's just like... "Cool? Okay then? Why is it your favourite?"

So you tell him where you were sitting when you first read it, and how you reached That passage, and you had to stop and look up for a minute because you felt something huge inside you moving—and then, because you were looking up, the entire world changed, as though the one you were living in before you read That passage is gone now, and another one has taken its place, and you'll never be able to go back. And how you've read and reread those words so many times, trying go back and recapture that feeling, but you can't, exactly; at least, not as viscerally. Because it wasn't just That passage, it was also you, sitting in that exact spot, on that day, with the lighting just so and your hands in that specific position in front of you and while you can re-enact it all you want, it's never going to happen again because you changed the very second you read those words.

Of course, then, you realise you've been getting embarrassingly sentimental and you stop talking. You feel an urge to try to nervously laugh yourself off and free him from the uncomfortable need to respond. But Steven's not laughing at all; he's just nodding, absolutely serious, because yeah, he knows. He gets it.

HI HELLO I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS

okay so I've been like thinking these things for weeks but I've been very unmotivated so I'm saying them all now!! so prepare for multiple asks!! or something!!

okay so I've just been rereading my all time fave fics and there was this one like in one of them- 'I’m not *stupid*, I just can’t read' and it immediately made me think of your writing, like kyis, first of all (and actually more on that bc obviously I've been rereading that too as one of the Best Fics Ever™ and holy SHIT it's so good. I cannot believe no one has made a podfic for it yet, bc wow especially after listening to the extract that was read out at the beginning of the podcast episode I NEED someone to read this shit to me so I can savour every bloody word bc dammit I'm a skim reader and its TOO GOOD for me to be skimming the fucking words!!!!! anyways needed to get that of my chest back to the regularly scheduled programming) but then also with wander home, I feel like with sam being able to read its definitely gonna be cashing some form of angst for the other boys, dean I think similar to in kyis but also with all his bucket load of self worth issues it's like makes sense uno. but also with cas, I feel like cas thinks of himself as not that intelligent at all. we know he thinks quite poorly of himself due to his autism, and I feel like he would consider himself not actually smart but rather just weird, especially with him being uneducated and I think his struggles with running the inn, especially before dean and sam would rly effect his opinion of himself and lead to some self-hate. so anyways, then I feel like when sam enters the picture and interacts with cas (once everything has settled down and they start interacting NOT in a life-or-death situation) I feel like he'll add an outsider perspective and realise that actually yeah cas *is* actually rly smart. like, he'll be talking with cas about something - like uno spewing all his knowledge like the little nerd he is - and cas will be following along but as soon sam tries to engage him cas will be like 'I'm sorry Sam, I'm not smart enough to know that' and sam is like grhhh yes you are!! and then he tries to push it bc hes Sam and is like 'but u were just telling me and *insert something cas knows, like about nature or the like* yesterday! and you knew loads!' and cas dismisses it bc that's a result of him being abnormal not being smart and then there's a whole little journey of sam trying to convince cas he's actually smart with many trials and tribulations but eventually it ends up with them having their lil debates/Intellectual Conversations about whatever Sam has recently learned with his lessons and it's all :)) (bonus scene is dean observing them and when they try to involve him he's like 'yeah no not gonna happen, idc if u say I'm not dumb sam, not all of us can be Aquinas okay?')

I justify the aquinas reference bc I had to know him for a subject and now I've gotten my exams back and I somehow haven't flopped them!! which means I never have to do that subject again and I feel the need to at least somewhat reference the worthless knowledge in my brain :')

ok first of all what is the fic ur referring to drop the fic!! (even if its not destiel ill read anything lol!)

also thank u so much ;~; <3 idk no one has ever offered to make a podfic and i am terrible at reading out loud so i def cannot but if anyone ever offered i would totally be down for that!

i think ur so right, i think cas def does not think of himself as smart at all, when he actually is!! and i think he's a giant nerd as well who would def find a lot of the stuff sam rambles about to be very interesting. hes not a Certified Genius like sam and doesnt have the same Desperate Thirst For Knowledge but he also genuinely finds this stuff interesting!!! i think they bond so well over nerd stuff!! but yes!! sammy following him around once he trusts him more bc dean will indulge him but he can tell hes bored to tears by sam talking about like geometry and its just going in one ear and out the other. hes like hmm wow thats interesting sam. yeah that is so cool ur right. but hes like falling asleep. so he starts talking to cas...maybe it starts bc cas overhears him talking to dean and is like ! wow really? and asks like an actual question. and sam is like YES finally and rambles his heart out and cas is actually listening and engaged and sam is like ok i like u now actually ur my friend. and starts talking to him about all the intellectual stuff. and yes him over time convincing sam that his intelligence isnt just a Symptom of Being Weird or even if it is who cares hes still smart???

and do u mean Thomas Aquinas? i have never read anything by him!! congrats on surviving ur exams tho!!!!!

[thefoundationproject]

Heyy so I love The Soft Wars AU (or as I like to call it Actual Canon). Your writing is amazing and some of the best I've probably ever read! The amount of subtext and meaning you manage to pack into every piece is actually insane!!😍😍 I pick up on something new on every reread that brings the story to a whole new level of amazing and I just !!!!!

I reread Journeymen again (it's probably one of my favourites because I love to think that not all of the Cuy'val Dar were assholes and seeing Fenn with baby clones makes my heart go gooey and add that to seeing the Alphas interact with their baby bros my heart just melts. (Also Jet is fighting with the Edee boys for the top spot in my heart ))

Sooo I was wondering if you intend Spar and Fenn to be a thing? Doesn't have to be romantically even but seeing as they raised Jet and Jag together they would care for eachother + that prompt from a few weeks ago with Caleb tells me they kinda stuck together even after Jet and Jag left Kamino?? Do we get to see them on CD? Do we get to see them with adult Jet and Jag? I figured that Fenn had lots of guilt about what happened (PS fuck Priest he better be dead I swear I hate him more than Palpy) no matter what Spar did/said and he always assumed Spar didn't actually want him around so when he heard about Oya Vode he just thought that was it, and he had to figure out what else to do with his life now and then Spar's like "Get in loser, we're deserting. I've already picked out a hilltop for us, don't worry it's got enough room for the Unbowed. Do you want a tooka? " And Fenn's just like *static sound* ?¿?¿?

This is too long I'm so sorry omg I have midterms what am I doing can you tell I need answers help but idk if you've planned something else?

Sorry this took a while!  Finals week was kicking my heinie!  

Thank you so much!  Soft Wars is for sure much less tragic than that canon business at least!  I’m glad you like my lil hidey-habit, it’s super fun to hide random little things in random little places and see if anyone notices.  It’s always SUPER fun when someone comes back months later and goes HOW DID I MISS THAT.  It makes me giggle.

Journeyman was my first time poking at the couple of non-asshole trainers.  The first time I made a reference to them was way way way back long ago, in that one fic where families were waiting in orbit while the Vode figured out the chip.  Heck I’m not sure if I left it in, but at one point I’d intended to slip a reference in way back as far as Ever After, but I think that one didn’t flow super well.  Fenn Rau and Mij Gilmar are definitely alright in my book.

The Alphas got handed these tiny baby brothers and went ‘oh no what do’ and when no one had an answer they made their own.  They just rolled up their sleeves and got their adopt on and the rest is history.  (Jet is a sweetie pie and I adore him verily!)

So I haven’t yet figured out what I’m doing with Spar and Fenn.  Are they Romantic?  Platonic?  No idea.  I do know that they raised those two boys though, and they’re something to each other.  I’m gonna be just as surprised as everyone else when that ‘something’ figures out what it is.  But I DO know that Spar isn’t gonna let Fenn brood himself into a corner that easily.  

So one thing I DO have an answer for is that yes, we definitely get to see both Spar and Fenn on CD.  Unfortunately that one is in a fic with a main POV character that’s been particularly elusive recently.  Eventually though!  I also have another fic planned where we get to find out a little more about Fenn and Jag’s interaction, but that one is deep under the sofa and only occasionally pops up to sniff when I open tuna cans. 

(PS Mij will still get rid of Priest.  I’m not taking that satisfaction away from him.)

[over300books]

I CAN'T STAND HOW FUCKING PERFECT THIS FIC WAS AND THEN YOU WENT AHEAD AND MADE SUCH A SUBLIME ENDING THIS FEELS LIKE THE CHERRY ON TOP OF A HUGE ASS DELICIOUS BOWL OF ICE CREAM I AM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The bench moment in front of the embassy was so tender 🥺 precisely what I think they need - just someone being there for them

I really like that you put a whole week and not just a day after the "incident", this adds so much more yearning and longing 😌😌 im suffering and im loving it

Oh my god don't tell me a drunk confession slash tender moment is coming that's literally my favorite trope ever omg omg

Okay the list of almosts was such a great detail, it kinda wrecked me

I love how you keep bringing up her tics! It's another incredibly smart nuance to add

Omg another hand moment 😫😫 PLEASE

The parallel of covering each other warmed my heart 🥺

"Until lately, he hadn’t realized that it’s not just anyone he wants by his side in that cold, vacant space, but you." PLES

Oh oh oh is it an emotional rain moment that I smell????? 🎵I feel it coming🎵

"After a while longer, you feel the pouring stop and open your eyes, expecting to find a calmer sky. Instead, you find Javier standing over you, holding an umbrella that’s barely big enough to cover you both."  AH!!!!! why did i picture him as an avenging angel towering over her??? Idk but i LOVE it

This moment was so fucking tender i had to reread it like five times to feel like I've fully absorbed all of it. Oh no he's drying her?????? God damnit i can't seem to catch a break 😤

The image of their embrace is so beautiful, their actions in your writing seem so fluid! I feel like I've seen a video of it instead of only picturing it in my head

"You hear him swallow before he gently presses his forehead to yours, his eyes half-closed. “You’re not going to run away again, are you?” Javier teases, but his voice is hoarse, the words cracking a little as they leave his lips. You can’t think straight, simply shaking your head and letting out a quiet chuckle." OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I CANNOT WITH JAVI BEING CAREFREE AND TEASING HER WHILE SMILING OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING

“Javier doesn’t like to take his time with anything, but when your whole body is curved against his like this, he wants all the time in the world." I'm this close to screeching and waking up my neighbors istg

I don't even know what to say at this point. I am immensely grateful for you and your masterful writing and that you shared it. I just. This is one of my favorite fics ever, honest to god. Will you pretty please accept a smooch to your forehead and a tight hug because you have brought me so much joy and good feelings 🥺 and I'm really glad that you enjoyed my reactions and wasn't annoyed by their length lmao it's truly the least I can do ❤️

The Same Coin - Part 7 (finale)

Pairing: Javier Peña x Reader

A/N: This is it, the last chapter of my second series! I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get this out, but I hope you enjoy! Thank you all so much for reading this little story, it’s definitely been more challenging to write but I love these two a lot and I’m grateful for the love you’ve given them❤️

Warnings: mentions of blood/injury, angst

Hi! Do you know of any fics where Harry and Draco are both Aurors and have to work together? I've read quite a few but haven't come across one in a while. Either permanently partners or firced together for a single case, both work for me. (Note: I have read everything by l0vegl0wsinthedark so, much as I love reading and rereading What Real Thing, I figured it would better to warn you :D Thank you so much for all of your recs, they are so, unspeakably helpful! :)

(Thank you @celticrose1989​ and @awesomesauceuniverse​ for the requests!! I decided to combine these, since fics in which only Draco is an auror/cursebreaker are pretty rare. I was planning to also combine this with a request for just Auror!Harry (with miscellaneous Draco) to make a giant Auror Drarry list, but it ended up being ridiculously long, so that one will come later this weekend! This one is already super long as-is, so I’ve tried to limit my commentary to 2-3 lines. Let it be known that it was very difficult, hahaha.)

Auror/Cursebreaker Partner Drarry Recs

What Real Thing? by loveglowsinthedark / @l0vegl0wsinthedark (13K)- They don’t cuddle, they don’t talk about their relationship (or lack thereof) and they certainly never fall asleep in each other’s arms.I know you’ve already read it, but you can’t expect me to just not include this amazing sexy pining fluffy piece of wonderfulness in my auror rec list!!! It includes the BEST AIRPORT SCENE (not at an airport) EVER.

Higher and Higher (Temptation) by birdsofshore (28.5K)- Only Harry Potter could manage to put on a magical collar on impulse and find himself unable to take it off again. Now following Draco’s direct orders gives him intense pleasure, and Draco has a whole heap of troubles to deal with, not least the way Potter looks when the collar has him gasping with bliss. The whole situation would test the morals of a saint… and Draco’s no saint.THIS FIC!! EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED. I STILL REMEMBER CLICKING ON IT AND NEARLY ORGASMING RIGHT THERE and it totally does its description justice! Technically Draco is a cursebreaker here.

Two Weeks by shiftylinguini / @shiftylinguini (22K)- If Harry had to guess which out of he or his Auror Partner, and tentative new friend, Draco Malfoy, would turn out to have Veela ancestry, his answer would be: neither, because that is ridiculous. Finding out the answer is actually him, and that his Veela heritage is wreaking havoc on his ability to work, sleep, and above all be in the same room as Malfoy, is a surprise to say the least. But this is fine. Harry’s been through worse, and he can just sit this one out, regardless of how much his body is screaming for the one person he doesn’t want to ask for help. Can’t he?WONDERFUL FABULOUS YES TIMES 96382!! Veela!Harry but like, read it even if that’s not usually your thing. GREAT pining!!! Phone sex. P H O N E S E X.

Lift Your Open Hand by firethesound / @firethesound (19K)- With Draco Malfoy as his assigned partner for the next six weeks of Auror training, Harry had been prepared for things to go poorly. But getting themselves accidentally bonded to each other in the first twenty minutes of their very first assignment seemed going above and beyond, even for them.What could you possibly need that isn’t in this fic? Includes bonding, domesticity, bed sharing, and Nicolas Cage. Perfection

Sex on Legs in Six-Inch Heels by tessacrowley / @tessacrowley (10K)- Draco Malfoy is a brilliant freelance cursebreaker and the only one who can help the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with a very dangerous case, but more importantly, he’s wearing six-inch heels, and Harry cannot handle it, he really just can’t.One of the first fics I read and STILL one of the hottest! The sex is amazing, as is the fact that Draco wears (surprisingly practical!) heels and women’s clothing in general I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Highlands by Seefin / @seefin (16K)- The tent was a joke, that was basically the only explanation he could come up with as to why the Aurors would send he and Draco on a several-month mission with only their most basic model. Once, when Harry had been on one of the big ones, the kind of mission where there was a little Auror camp out in the wilderness, twenty or so tents all pitched practically on top of each other, he had slept in one with two stories. Actually it was more of a mezzanine level, but still. Their current one didn’t even have a fucking toilet. And if Harry were allowed to communicate with anyone other than Draco then he would definitely be lodging an official complaint right about now.This fic is so sweet and slow (despite being only 16K, idk how she does it!). I love the development of their relationship, and being forced into close quarters is especially w o n d e r f u l.

Little Talks by femmequixotic and noeon / @femmequixotic and @noeeon (11.5K)- Draco’s been shagging the Head Auror for months now, and he’s sure it’s just a fling. Until Harry asks him to a Quidditch match, that is, and things go horribly wrong.AAAH THE SEX. Also the adorableness! And the whatthefuckishappening a real DATE??? But THE SEX! And the fluff! Sorry I’m incoherent, just READ IT!

Something More by thusspakekate (9K)- After a night of heavy drinking, Harry Potter has a love bite the size of Wales on his neck and an unsigned note from the man who gave it to him in his pocket. The only problem? He can’t quite remember who he brought home with him the night before. And what’s got Draco Malfoy in such a strop?OMG pining in this one like crazy. It’s obvious why from the summary, right?? Yeah? Just….you’re already feeling the angst, I know it, just read it and let it be resolved

One Big Misunderstanding by agentmoppet / @agentmoppet (7K)- Draco will be the first to admit that his choices aren’t particularly clever, especially when they involve Potter, but this has to be the worst one yet.OH, DRACO. Poor baby sends Harry and Blaise off on a date together and then becomes a jealous wreck and it’s beautiful.

You Send Me (Honest You Do) by firethesound (37K)- As far as potion accidents go in general, and deaging incidents go in particular, Draco knew this could have been so much worse. Harry only lost about ten years, and all his memories are still intact. But the sight of him looking as if he’s stepped straight out of Draco’s Hogwarts memories has dredged up a whole mess of complicated feelings Draco thought he’d buried years ago, and Draco really doesn’t know what to do with any of it.This is a GREAT use of the deaging trope (without being at all creepy btw, so don’t worry!), and Harry has tattoooooos!! Also more pining pining pining

Tales from the Special Branch Series by femmequixotic (304K so far)- When Gavin Robards asks him to form Special Branch seven-four-alpha, Harry Potter knows they’ll have to work outside the confines of the law–even though they are the law.Are you tired of me reccing this series yet? TOO BAD I’LL NEVER STOP MUAHAHA. This list just wouldn’t be complete without it! Who could ever tire of Draco fucking Harry, his senior officer???? NOT ME!!

All Our Secrets Laid Bare by firethesound (150K)- Over the six years Draco Malfoy has been an Auror, four of his partners have turned up dead. Harry Potter is assigned as his newest partner to investigate just what is going on.Another fic I’ve recced over and over because IT’S THE QUINTESSENTIAL BEST EVER CLASSIC AUROR PARTNER FIC IN MY OPINION so it literally cannot be missing from this list.

It’s the Love of the Chase (That Created the Ride) by lumosed_quill (14K)- Draco and Harry are new Auror partners. It’s a bit dull. Until they finally see some spell action and things get a lot more interesting (in Draco’s pants).Basically adrenalin rushes from cases make Harry and Draco crave sex and it’s amazing One Harry Potter Please (If Possible, Seduced and Ready) by faithwood (62K)- All Draco wants is Harry Potter’s friendship, just to make his new Auror job more bearable. However, after Harry stubbornly pays more attention to his secret admirer, Draco is forced to resort to drastic measures.So nearly all long-term-auror-partner fics have flangst because how could they not?? But this one stands out to me as being the FLANGSTIEST (this is a word now) EVER. Like an adorable idiot, Draco impersonates Harry’s secret admirer.

The Kaleidoscope Charm, or 50 Shades of Rainbow Magic by Omi_Ohmy (27K)- Getting Draco Malfoy as a boss was not the worst thing that happened to Harry; getting a crush on him was.Auror!Harry is assigned to work with Draco (of the Curse and Lock Breaking Dept). Also he owns a giant angel statue that looks just like him. ;D

Like Diamonds We Are Cut With Our Own Dust by raitala (11K)- Draco has borne the mark of the Dark Lord for over ten years. It is familiar to him, but he pays the price for it every day, and Harry has noticed.This fic is just so cool. It’s based on “that picture” by alekina, which I coincidentally reblogged just yesterday and is amazing and HARRY REMOVES DRACO’S DARK MARK YEP
