Hi! Do you know of any fics where Draco is a rich/powerful businessman? Maybe muggle au’s?

Hello! Your holds have arrived!

I think I've got the exact kind of vibes you're looking for! I hope you enjoy these fics! And as a bonus, be sure to check out this excellent art by @ano-ka-ba.

Rich/powerful businessman Draco

The Potters' Pool Party by @darcyshire (7,453 words, rated T)

When 12-year-old Scorpius is invited to a pool party, worried father Draco insists on tagging along for the sake of safety. By the time Draco realizes whose family is hosting, it's too late for him to back out.

i stay by @hogwartsfirebolt (9,104 words, rated M)

The darkening sky is dangerous for the shape of Harry’s desire, it makes it seem reasonable, as though it were a natural conclusion of having Draco once again within reach, rather than the mirage it actually is.

Seeking: pet carer for Bartholomew (four-year old rescue greyhound, no special needs) by @gallifrey1sburning (14,694 words, rated E)

When Draco’s boyfriend ends their relationship rather abruptly (and, frankly, extremely rudely), he leaves Draco with full-time responsibility for their rescue greyhound, Bartholomew. Draco loves his dog with all his heart, but the long hours he works at his law firm mean that he can’t possibly be home as much as Bartholomew needs. Enter Sirius Pet Care, an app designed to solve this very problem! When Draco books Harry, he’s relieved at how quickly the man and his dog bond. He’s less relieved by how unexpectedly, distractingly attractive Harry turns out to be… and how Draco’s afternoon meetings keep being “mysteriously” cancelled, meaning that he JUST HAPPENS to be home when Harry comes by. After all, it’s not appropriate to ogle one’s employees… right?

to be where I'm going (in the sunshine of your love) by theweightofmywords (19,080 words, rated E)

"He imagined Draco’s smile, all gums and slightly crooked teeth, his hair slicked back with Pacific water, and he knew: He’d travel as long as he’d need to if it meant he’d see that face. If it meant that Draco would hear the message he’d been carrying for so long. Maybe he didn’t have to travel the road alone anymore."

Draco and Harry go on a road trip together. It's about the journey, not the destination.

Uptown Downtown by Sbpagel (29,134 words, rated E)

Draco Malfoy is the spoiled, entitled, pretentious heir to Malfoy Constructions. James Black is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma and tied together with a puzzle.

it was a bad idea ('cause now I'm even more lost) by @all-drarry-to-me (36,446 words, rated T)

When Draco is told his green card is denied and he must return to England, he does the only thing he can think of and starts a fake relationship with the one available person in the room: Harry. The plan is simple — until feelings get involved.

When Trust and Truth Collide by silvergalaxy (47,374 words, rated E)

Harry meets Draco for the first time in the employee break room on a boring Wednesday morning and they immediately hit it off. Chance encounters turn into dates, and dates turn into feelings.

Oh, yeah. Draco's also Harry's boss. Harry has no idea.

Burn the Witch by @lettersbyelise (95,800 words, rated E)

When Harry Potter is sent in to investigate Draco Malfoy’s successful potions company, posing as Draco’s bodyguard, he doesn’t know the case will launch a series of events that will change his life — and Draco’s.

A story about choices, scars, Chopin piano pieces, and finding all kinds of love in the most unexpected places.

Pages of You by @wolfpants (101,717 words, rated E)

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.

In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.

A story about trying to figure out who you are, where you're going in life, and who you want to take along with you.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

[gallifrey1sburning]

I've recently been super into the idea of Timothée Chalamet as a head-cast for post-war Harry, and then I found this Vogue Italia photoshoot and I couldn’t resist.

Worth a Try by @lqtraintracks (2021, E, 3k)

“Why the fuck is this so good?” Harry asks. Malfoy slips his hand down, cups Harry’s bum cheek, squeezes it. “Oh Potter,” (like he’s stupid) “you know why.”

Ink (My Skin With Your Name) by Kandakicksass (2019, M, 22k)

fly like paper, high like planes by @harryromper (2019, M, 47k)

Harry Potter, Head Coach of the Appleby Arrows, is very content leading a quiet life. The absolute last thing he needs is a fit, tattooed, and wildly talented Draco Malfoy back from living his life on the margins.

Bonus: tattooed Harry!

What I'm Missing by agentmoppet (2015, T, 5.6k)

Stars Around Your Scars by xErised (2020, T, 11k)

'Tis a Far Better Thing

Author: The_Sinking_Ship (AO3) (Tumblr)

Pairing: Draco/Harry

Rating: E

Wordcount: 37,526

Tags: CLUELESS AU, fashion designer Draco, powerful Harry, getting together, gratuitous fashion references, movie easter eggs for DAYS, humour, banter

Summary:

'Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people — or however the Muggle saying goes — because Potter is in need of professional help and Draco is just the man to give it to him.

Excerpt:

“I’m not coming out,” Potter says, and Draco can almost hear the scowl in his voice.

“Why the hell not?”

“You’ve got the size wrong. It’s too bloody tight.”

Draco and Pansy share a look and she purses her lips around a smile.

“Lucky for you, I wield tailoring charms professionally,” Draco says. “Don’t make me vanish that curtain, Potter, because I’ll do it. Don’t think I won’t.”

There is some unintelligible grumbling, and then the curtain is thrust aside.

“Oh!” Pansy gasps. One hand flies to her mouth, and she looks to Draco, who is trying very hard to continue breathing and blinking normally.

Because Potter isn’t wrong. It is tight. And Draco finds himself completely distracted by the way the fabric stretches across Potter’s chest, the fine, dark wool straining as he recrosses his arms. Potter certainly isn’t the paunchy old goat Draco was hoping for — in fact, he’s bloody built, the lean, hard lines of muscle visible beneath the thin fabric. Draco can practically count his abdominal muscles from where he’s standing. And the trousers leave almost nothing to the imagination — at least, Draco doesn’t think he is imagining the perfect shape of Potter’s arse or the bulge against the zipper.

This fic is dedicated to @fictional who is sweet, funny, endlessly supportive, and who I love dearly. Thank you for indulging me, my darling!

A big thank you to @gallifrey1sburning and @fw00shy for the beta work, cheerleading, and being wonderful humans.

Bonus: Lynn did art for the fic! Pansy and Draco featuring the yellow D&G suit, and Harry pre-makeover.

Fic Recs Wrap Up  -  November 2020 (੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆

Survival of the Species by Romaine 

Draco approaches Harry on the 9 ¾ platform, after their sons have boarded the Hogwarts Express, and invites him over for tea. The discussion they have leads them on an adventure that neither could have expected. Rec Post, Art Post by @artisticentropy

The Light More Beautiful by firethesound @firethesound

Thirteen years after Draco accepts Potter's help escaping the horror of his sixth year, he returns to England where he makes the unfortunate discovery that Potter is still as obnoxious as ever. And worse, more than a decade overseas hasn't been enough to dim Draco's obsession with him. Rec Post

parapraxis by pasdexcuses 

Harry doesn't think much about the fact that he and Malfoy have been exchanging dares for the better part of a decade. He doesn't think much about Malfoy's dares being this constant thread in his life. And he especially doesn't think much about how daring Malfoy is close to the only thing making him feel alive after the war. Rec Post

He Who Must Not Be Normal by lettered @letteredlettered

Potter has fame and fortune and posh clothes and all he wants is a simple life. Draco has a flat and a cat and a steady job and all he wants is a complicated life. Which makes you think this story has something exciting like body-swapping, but it doesn’t. Instead it has Indian takeaway and a blue jumper and people wanting a whole lot of what they can’t have, discovering themselves as they discover each other. Rec Post

Super Rich Kids by trishjames @thusspoketrish

Draco Malfoy has become disillusioned by the glitz and glamour of the scandalous lives of the Post-Second Wizarding War Pureblood Elite. Enter: one existential crisis, one group of thieving cynical friends, and several terrible, terrible decisions. RecPost 1, 2 Art post 1, 2 by @junk-ren

It Takes a Village by Saras_Girl 

Eighth year isn’t exactly going to plan. Harry is definitely not running away, Draco is definitely not impressed, and it’s almost definitely not going to stop raining. Rec Post

Turn, Drop, Fall by Tessa Crowley (tessacrowley) @tessacrowley

In his father's world of staunch traditions and strict gender dynamics, presenting as an omega is the worst thing that could happen to Draco, although accidentally bonding to Harry Potter and being forced into a marriage with Antonin Dolohov both come in close second. Rec Post

Black Holes and Revelations Femme (femmequixotic) @femmequixotic

What was meant to be an unexpected one-off in the loo of a Camden bar turns into something rather different, much to Harry and Draco's surprise. Rec Post

Here are some other great fics you might enjoy! 

(ﾉ^ヮ^)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

Starkissed by Zigster @zigster-ao3 

“Your tattoos!” The intruder says, boldly stepping over Ron’s chaise and crossing in front of Hermione to get to Harry, eyes wide and hungry. Harry immediately sits up, pulling the towel draped across the back of his chair down over his shoulders. “No! Don’t cover them. They’re beautiful.” . Harry hopes an indulgent trip abroad will help shake him out of the doldrums of his life. What he finds once he gets to Venice is more than he ever expected. Fic Claim Post 

Asking For A Friend? by RoonilWazlibMalfoy @evenmyzefronposter

Asking for a friend? Don't be shy! I'm Genna Russ with advice!

Draco Malfoy, drag queen and agony aunt for the Daily Prophet, is very happy with his life. He loves his job. He loves his drag queen persona. And he loves the fact that the wider Wizarding world doesn't know who is offering them sassy advice with their morning news.

When he starts receiving letters from one Harry Potter – letters that are too racy to publish – he does the only thing he can do: he replies. His carefully constructed secret life is at risk of being blown wide open, but he just can't help himself. Draco never did have any self-control where the Prat Who Lived was concerned.

All I Have to Do by fluxweed @fluxweeed

The Patented Daydream Charm (Adult Edition) allows you to enter a top-quality, highly realistic thirty-minute sexual fantasy. Solitude and privacy spells advised.

or: Draco finally has some alone time; Harry just needs to nip in for a book. Fic Claim Post

On Your Shore by xanthippe74 @xanthippe74

Clearing out a remote house full of cursed collectibles in the Outer Hebrides? Not a problem for an experienced curse breaker like Harry Potter. Spending a week with the straight, happily-married man that he’s starting to have feelings for? And sharing a bed with him at night? Surely Harry can handle that, too. But both the house and Draco Malfoy have secrets to uncover, and Harry might be in deeper water than he thought. Fic Claim Post

The Kisses Don’t Count, If No One Else Knows by oldenuf2nb @dianacopland

Minister for Magic Harry Potter does not love his job. The one bright point in his life is his secret relationship with Quidditch Super Star Draco Malfoy. When they're 'outed' by a peeping tom with a camera, Harry has to decide what's really important.

You Do Your Body Work, I Feel My Pulse Working Overtime by VeelaWings @veelawings

Harry did not have an addiction to watching Draco masturbate on camera. He could stop any time he wanted to. Really. Fic Claim Post

Take All That You See by GallifreyisBurning @gallifrey1sburning

Draco Malfoy has only two goals for his eighth year are Hogwarts: 1) stay as invisible as possible, and 2) get enough NEWTs to be accepted at a university abroad and get the hell out of the UK. Everything is going according to plan until he is unceremoniously outed by the Daily Prophet and subsequently disowned.

Finding himself the unexpected focus of unwanted attention and harassment, he is suddenly dependent on the good will and protection of the last people he would have expected — Harry Potter and his gang of do-gooder Gryffindors (plus Luna Lovegood). With his world turned upside down, how will Draco make it through the rest of the year? And worse still, as he grows closer and closer to Harry, how will he get out with his heart intact? Fic Claim Post

Always by Ischa @ischa-posts

In which Draco is the (in)famous erotica writer H.J. Belladonna, writing successful scandalous novel after successful scandalous novel and hiding his true identity, and Harry is questioning his sexuality after reading one of Belladonna’s books. Until ten years after the war their paths cross again, and Harry doesn’t only question his sexuality, but also the meaning of his obsession with Draco Malfoy.

Let's not wait for France by gnarf @gnarf

All Harry had wanted from his Eighth year at Hogwarts was a little peace and a little privacy but, from the moment that he stepped onto Platform 9 3/4, it was obvious that nothing was ever going to be that easy.

An accidental bond with Malfoy that resulted in them having to stay together at all times was the final straw.

Things couldn't be worse. So much to a quiet year in Hogwarts.

♡✧( ु•⌄• ) I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!  

So sorry for being a bit late posting this one!

As always, thank you so much for  following, reading, and reblogging! Your support means so much to me!

HELLO!

Sorry to bother you guys, but I was wondering if there are some fics where Harry and Draco are both professors, but they are dating

Bônus points if some students don't know

My patrons are never a bother! So glad you've come to visit the library, and just in time! Your holds have arrived!

Professors List 2

Drarry by @drarrily-we-row-along (1,138 words, rated T)

Harry closed the door and looked around the hallway. “They’re shipping us!” he hissed.

“Pardon?”

“The kids!” he exclaimed. “I overheard them. They’re smashing our names together!”

Is it true what the rumors say, Professor? by @drarrily-we-row-along (1,876 words, rated T)

Draco knows without a shadow of a doubt that hiring Harry Potter to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor midway through the school year is going to be an unmitigated disaster.

Still, when he sees the other man struggling with being a first-year teacher, he can't help but take pity on him and see how he can help.

Unspoken Affection by @janieohio (2,616 words, rated M)

Harry finds a stack of post-its, and what starts as simply leaving Draco a reminder with a bit of romance turns into a lifetime of memories.

The Decoy Date by @gallifrey1sburning (3,750 words, rated T)

Harry wants Draco to come with him to an upcoming charity gala. Draco can't figure out why Harry would want him, of all people, to be his fake date for the evening. Surely there must be better options?

Bubbles, Baths, and Bad Luck by @manixzen (5,004 words, rated E)

A poisonous potion covering Professor Potter nearly head-to-toe would normally be a pretty big deal. It should be as bad as his day gets. But that’s before he’s informed that the cure involves a steamy, hot bath with an unrequited crush.

The Ghosts of Hogwarts Past by @writcraft (30,071 words, rated E)

Draco has hardly had time to bask in his promotion to Head of Slytherin House when he gets news of Harry Potter’s return to Hogwarts. With his increased workload, the reappearance of the ex he never got over, the ghost that won’t let him sleep, and some curious coded diaries, it’s shaping up to be a hell of a year.

Water, Shadow, and Stone by Omi_ohmy (53,206 words, rated E)

Potions professor Draco notices DADA professor Potter’s increasing absences. He hates himself for caring, but where is he going? What is he doing?

Can't Afford to Fall by @p1013 (100,543 words, rated E)

Looking at Harry Potter, the Savior of the Wizarding World, curled in on himself on a classroom floor, Draco can't help but think of that scared sixteen-year-old version of himself. All he wanted was for someone to help, to save him from his own choices. And here he is, with Harry Potter pooled before him like blood on tile, needing the same.

Draco takes a hesitant step forward. He's on the edge of something, though he doesn't know what it is yet. But there's a choice before him, one he almost doesn't want to make.

Bolts by @lqtraintracks (114,500 words, rated E)

Harry joins the Hogwarts staff as the new History of Magic Professor, while Draco has already been teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts for the past year. When Samantha, a first year, is being bullied one day and throws a made-up Truth curse at her harasser, only to accidentally hit Harry instead, Harry becomes cursed to tell the truth, and not only that, he has to regularly tell it to Draco Malfoy. Samantha is clearly gifted, maybe the most powerful witch or wizard to ever come through Hogwarts, and yet she has no idea how to take the curse off. As they work to remove it—and also teach Samantha how to control a power that's becoming more dangerous by the day—will Harry's truths become too much to handle? And will whatever’s going on with Draco just make everything exponentially worse?

All Life is Yours to Miss by Saras_Girl (114,741 words, rated M)

Professor Malfoy's world is contained, controlled, and as solitary as he can make it, but when an act of petty revenge goes horribly awry, he and his trusty six-legged friend are thrown into Hogwarts life at the deep end and must learn to live, love and let go.

For those going back to school soon, I'm sending you support! I know many teachers have been working to get their classrooms set up for weeks. I know students have been buying supplies and textbooks and beginning to feel nervous. I wish everyone luck for the new school year!

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Happy Reading!

Top 5 of 2020

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (ish) favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works! 

I was tagged by @tackytigerfic @maesterchill @bonesliketambourines @sitp-recs @peachpety @lazywonderlvnd @ohdrarry @gallifrey1sburning and @pineau-noir ❤️ thank you all for the tag, it’s been a joy to see your own reflections on your work this last year, and an interesting one to mull over for myself, too!

2020 has been such an absolute bruiser of a year that I feel proud to have created anything, and I love every word I’ve written because, frankly, every word was a tiny step forward into imagination and creativity (rather than the cavernous sinkhole of anxiety and stress that I was tip-toeing beside). But, that said, here are my top five fics in chronological order:

Speak (and may the world come undone) is a 26k story born out of a tiny little 120 word drabble, and I am still really proud of exploring this concept of canon divergence where Draco’s loyalties shift earlier. It was a real challenge to handle canon this much, without simply re-treading it, and to balance the despair of war with the hope of survival and the realities of life beyond. It was also the first time I’ve written a first time, and doing that justice was so important to me. What I’m proud of: this Harry and his courage to have faith, the moments of weakness they all have, the dreams, Fleur and Harry’s conversation, Draco’s subtle but granite-firm loyalty, Harry grasping a moment of self-possession and pleasure.

Life Goes Not Backward was an idea that sprang fully-formed into my mind at about half past midnight when I was supposed to be focusing only on writing Speak, so I had to wait a month or so to sit down to the concept of Harry and settling down roots, and of Ruby. It’s a shorter fic, at 8k, in which I packed Harry’s life post-war, his burgeoning relationship with Draco turning into something solid and lasting, and then Ruby herself into just six days. What I’m proud of: giving this a light touch, exploring a Harry who’s older, and ready to come home after abandoning Britain, of the atmosphere—it’s warm and gentle and soft and hopeful and everything I needed this year—and of the naming. 

Catch and Release was written for my darling @tackytigerfic’s birthday, and what started out as a little 2k fic grew into 11k of Draco’s pov and me toying with the tropes of accidental bonding and there was only one bed. The Draco in this fic is very close to my heart, there’s probably a lot of me in him, and Harry is everything I think he could grow into—powerful but restrained when he need to be, protective but not coddling, still carrying his wounds but always and ever reaching out. What I’m proud of: the tension, the slow build of trust, the contrast of touch starvation and tactility, the moment’s of understanding, and the way Harry and Draco find someone they can just be with.

If an Injury Is to be Inflicted was written for @hd-hurtfest and is my longest published fic to date. It was also a real experiment for me, writing something sharper and wilder and a little darker than anything I’ve done before—I was totally inspired by @quicksilvermaid’s prompt and this world was in such sharp definition for me so quickly, I loved writing it. What I’m proud of: the pacing and the tension, the fight scenes (my god that was an adventure to write), the exploration of every character and how they might respond to this post-war reality of corruption, and most of all I’m proud of Draco and Harry and every moment between them.

Breathe You In is such an indulgent fic, written for the inaugural @hpsudsfest and gifted to the lovely @mai-und-regen —but I first had the idea for it in December 2019 (thank you @maesterchill you know what you did). This was such a pleasure to write, to imagine as I tinkered on it, and to submerge myself in the warmth and hedonism of the lazy Sunday afternoon I gave to Harry. What I’m proud of: the details, the warmth, the atmosphere, the intimacy, and that bath. (I want that bath)

I’m sure you’ve all already been tagged (because I’m late enough to be doing my 2020 tags in 2021) but if you guys want to play then @slytherco @p1013 @veelawings @practicefortheheart @bogglebeans @clotpolesonly @hedwig-dordt @hogwartsfirebolt @onbeinganangel @dragontamerdame @bluebutter-art @ladderofyears @xanthippe74 @zigster-ao3 @gnarf and literally everyone who sees this and wants to do it—tag me if you do so I can come and peep your faves! ❤️

OWL GIFTS for @pineau-noir!

(Creators will be revealed on January 8, 2021.)

Gift from: anon Admire on AO3: Gifts for Molly Summary: Harry and Draco are at the shopping centre picking out Christmas presents for Molly. They get caught on camera after leaving the loos. Quite suspicious. Art Medium: Digital - photoshop. Rating: G Notes: Dear @pineau-noir, you said you liked purple :D so I hope you like this. You're a wonderfully kind person and this isn't good enough for you! ♥

Gift from: anon Read on AO3: I Think He Knows Summary: In which Draco expresses some Big Things and Harry overreacts and has a meltdown (you know, just Harry being Harry). Word Count: 2897 words. Rating: G Notes: Beta by @gallifrey1sburning.

Gift from: anon Be Amazed on AO3: [Ficbinding] In Love With the Ferret Link to Fic: In Love With the Ferret, by @pineau-noir​ Summary: Harry has never been the most observant bloke. Sometimes to the point of him not realising his feelings for a particular pointy, pale git. And it's not his fault if literally everyone else knows about said feelings except for Harry and the git in question. So it's really not his fault, when faced with the scope of his feelings, he suddenly has a hard time talking to one Draco Malfoy. Or looking him in the eye. Or not being a total weirdo around him. Craft: fanbinding Rating: G for binding | Explicit for fic Contains: Fanfic bound in custom bookcloth and marbled endpapers using a Coptic binding.

TOP 5 OF 2020

Rules: It’s time to love yourselves! Choose your 5 (ish) favourite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. Tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

@dragontamerdame @caroll-in @bluebutter-art @xanthippe74 all tagged me for this so, like thanks!!! I'm really excited to know you all and to be in the fandom with you and all the amazing people in Drarry fandom

So, I published a ton this year, but a lot of it was written 2019. I changed fandoms and started writing primarily Drarry so this list will totally reflect that.

1) a little chocolate now and then for the incomparable @triggerlil and my first porny fem-slash. Featuring baking Pansy and jock Ginny who have a lovely afternoon doing things with brownie mix that would make Gordon Ramsey filp.

2) As You Wish my VERY FIRST DRARRY!!! In which I fell in love with writing Scorpius and I got to steal the plot of my favorite movie of all time, The Princess Bride. This fest was where I met Lily and @cibeewastaken who are some of the best people in the world. I loved writing the dual plots of Harry and Draco with the bedtime story Draco is telling about how they fell in love

3) Ex-cons (and feds) just wanna have fun based on the sweetest art by @whatthefoucault (found here) and the only Marvel thing I wrote this year. However I adore it and I wrote it in a fever haze one day and it still makes me giggle, un-betaed that it is. I just love writing flirting dorks 😍

4) In Love With the Ferret my most popular fic this year and probably my favorite fic I've ever written. I love Jason Mraz and @parkkate and awkward flirting and so combined, this was probably the easiest thing I've ever written. And then I got art from Caroll-in which legit made me cry at work and it was hand bound into an actual BOOK for an Owlpost present which made me cry at home and I met my beautiful friend @static-abyss through the fest and they make me cry on the regular because of the beauty of their writing and their kindness. I also got to lurk in Cibee's and Lily's fics for Wireless. So between the joy I had in writing, the reception I got, the gifts 😍, and the amazing people, this was the pinnacle of my creations this year.

5) So... I can't link or name these, but my Owlpost gifts that are still anonymous. There's one specifically that I'm really proud of and I can link it later. Fun fact, Cibee was kind enough to read it for me and she had emotions at work??? I'm not gonna say what emotions because again, anon, but there was a reaction and I was quite happy because she's made me feel all of my emotions so it's only fair she had to feel something 🤣.

I'm going to tag @drarry-quite-contrary @static-abyss @the-sinking-ship @p1013 @veelawings @fangqueen @ladderofyears @pauleonotis @triggerlil @bonesliketambourines @shealwaysreads @gallifrey1sburning and anyone else who wants to do this, please tag me! I'm sorry for any duplicate tags, I honestly can't remember anything
