Fic Recs Wrap Up November 2024 ✩°｡⋆(ノﾟ∀ﾟ)ノ⌒･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*☆

After the Rain Falls by shinigami714 @shinigami714

After the events of the war, all Harry wants to do is forget. For everything to return to normal. But things never were normal for him, and the war left many marks on him not so easily forgotten. When he receives a surprising offer to return to Hogwarts in a continuing education program, Harry jumps at the chance, and despite his best efforts to deal with his problems alone, discovers along the way that quite often, two minds are greater than one. Rec Post

we have heard on high by oflights @oflights

Reeling from the fallout of a bad breakup, Harry decides to find out who his soulmate is. The bad news: it’s Draco Malfoy. The good news: Malfoy doesn’t seem to know they’re soulmates. The worst news: Harry might be falling for him anyway. Rec Post

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Moonflower_Rose @moonflower-rose

One summer evening, Harry Potter vanished in the middle of dinner with his friends. Four days later he came back. Sort of. Draco Malfoy is on the case. Rec Post

The Unplottable Time Conundrum by Writcraft @writcraft

When the past starts bleeding into the present at Grimmauld Place, an old academic article pulls Draco Malfoy out of his life of luxury. Haunted by the memory of a fleeting post-war kiss and thrust into the ghostly spaces inhabited by Unspeakable Harry Potter, Draco’s easy life is about to get a whole lot more complicated. Rec Post

Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well!(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Come As You Are written by  its_the_allure @its-the-allure, art by ItsPhantasmagoria @itsphantasmagoria

When Harry Potter visits a sexy internet chatroom site, he does so with the hope of answering a niggling question: Am I interested in men? He finds more than he anticipated when he stumbles upon a free strip show starring a very familiar person. Just what is Draco Malfoy doing on a Muggle pay-per-view site? And when did he get so fucking fit? Rec Post

You're on Your Own, Kid by bluefay @thesleepiesthufflepuff

In August of 1998, Draco leaves behind everything he’s ever known. With the help of two middle-aged lesbians, a Muggle bookshop, and a new best friend, Draco’s future is finally looking up. That is, until Harry Potter wanders back into his life a year later, undoing everything Draco has worked towards. Or, a tale about healing, forgiveness, and living for no one but yourself.

( •ॢ◡-ॢ)-♡ I hope you enjoy these fics as much as I have! Happy reading! xoxo Carey  (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ ✧*💜💙💚💛❤💗💕💖

fic rec friday 54

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

all i want for christmas by tusslee

“Listen,” Lance squeezes Keith’s fingers in his hands, “I’m as bad at this as you probably are and this is going to be really cheesy, but that’s the way I was raised and I know I act like an idiot around pretty girls, but I’m an even bigger idiot around you. Go ahead and try to guess why that is. No, actually don't do that."

this one is gonna be an xmas special!! even though im writing this before halloween lol. anyways. this was so cute!! lance being all stressed about what he should get keith bc he's all in love w him any everything. so real.

2. You're Here (Where You Should Be) by @blue-wanderer

"And if you’re worried about the cameras just take care of them.” “Take care—! Take care of them? With what, Keith?” “I don’t know?” Keith asks, busily testing his foothold in the gate and generally ignoring the rising storm cloud of ire behind him. “With a gun?” “A gun? This isn’t some sort of black ops storming an enemy base thing! This is a Christmas tree thing!” “I don’t see a difference? You’re the sharpshooter. Shoot out the cameras.” “Let me just pull a gun out of my ass, Keith!” “OK, problem solved,” Keith agrees, taking another step up the gate. “Nothing is solved you dumb country space redneck!”

Or Keith and Lance may be disasters at decorating, but Christmas still manages to work its magic on them.

i bookmarked this like a year ago and let me tell you all i needed to hear was dumb country space redneck and i was hooked 😭😭 and it lived up to the name fr. hate the canon ending? want lance to not be a farmer while still acknowledging his struggles with homesickness? want some whipped keith and meddlesome kosmo? want some cheesy xmas feels? click ahead!

3. make my wish come true by angelbolt

“A world where one has to fight for custody of one’s boyfriend is a godless one,” Lance muttered, slumping so he was leaning against Hunk. Shiro exchanged some final words with Kolivan before the screen blipped out. Ah yes, the ideal Christmas Eve: long boring talks and war meetings. Wonderful. ❆❅❆ keith comes home for christmas.

fun game idea: take a shot every time you see a klance xmas fic with a mariah carey lyric. lol. ANYWAYS yall know me and established relationship + early season dynamics!! i am obsessed!! and this fic delivers!! grumpy lance pov who just wants the rest of the world to fuck off for a couple days so he can have his bf around. he's such a voice of the people

4. i'll be home for christmas by @thespacenico

A severe bout of winter weather threatens to stop Shiro from making it home for his first Christmas with Keith. Shiro is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his promise.

okay this one is from darcy's i've got you brother, which i am obsessed with and have cried over several times, and which just recently updated! this fic is so cute and a adashi with young keith always fucking gets to me, man. they're just so. shiro being so desperately determined to keep his promise to young keith who has had so many promises broken that he doesnt even expect shiro to try. but is happy that he does. sobbing.

5. the greatest gift of all by dumpsterdiva

Keith’s mouth hung open for a few seconds before he stammered, “D-do you really mean that?” Lance looked a bit sheepish as he said, “I… It’s crazy, right? I mean, it’s way too soon. You know I was kidding.” Keith straightened up. “Well, I’m not. Marry me.” “What?!” “You heard me, you coward. Marry me.” “That’s the worst proposal ever!” “Worse than you threatening me with marriage so I would stop talking about how amazing you are?”

YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT PROPOSAL FICS. i feel ksjbskdbqjdbqwlwd about them. okay. and throw in a christmas setting??? and banter?? and a MODERN AU?? i am doing my best, people. this fic had me shoving a pillow into my face and screaming.

that’s it for today!! happy holidays! merry christmas!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

[hopetorun]

Hi! Any 'hockey but Something's Different' recs that you have?

obviously as soon as i saw this question i forgot everything i've ever read in my life. anyway, jess @bropunzeling is really good at this imo, and i've really enjoyed all of her contributions to the genre (supernatural elements, omegaverse, women in the nhl, werewolves, soulbonds)

anyway having perused my bookmarks and crowdsourced with some friends, in no particular order:

jeff/mike where jeff is a demon

ovi + nicky + werewolves

leon + michael dal colle + vampires

pk + carey + daemons

pk + carey + fae

roman + shea + talking animals

usntdp mutants (the fic is jack/nico)

mason mct + connor b + women in the nhl

matthew + leon + animal transformation

there's tons more i'm sure but i reached a point in my bookmarks where i simply could not look at things i saved in 2014 and wonder why i was ever even compelled by those two people together any more. so i stopped. please feel free to share your own contributions!

[spreta-invidia]

Ok I'm at a complete loss of where to go for this; I've been looking for a daemyra fic but I'm at a complete loss & it's driving me up a wall! But I love your fic recs...so I figured you might have read the story I'm looking for. And if not you could point me in the right direction.

Ok so what I remember is 'it's •daemyra •time travel...definitely Rhaenyra & possibly Daemon •Rhaenyra woke up after she was killed in her younger body. I believe that she was red & looked like she was lightly burned, she dressed in black to make it more obvious & joined her father's council meeting. She & Corlys have a small conversation, Viserys enters the room & hurries to her, they talk in high valyrian about her dream... •I think the dragon in him...is creepy as-f*, & Rhaenyra I think ends up going to the stepstones'

Sadly this is as much as I remember. If you could help out I'd be so very thankful, and if you can't that's cool to but I love some direction to search in. Thank you for your time...and sorry if this is a bother.

-Eliza

Absolutely no bother!!! I’m sorry it took me so long to answer. I’m glad you like my recs! I’ve been meaning to do a longer rec list-maybe soon!

I feel like I read this fic! But I can’t find it on AO3. I had a couple bookmarked that have been deleted; maybe it was one of those?? Sorry, @carey-roza ☹️

Read this!

do yourself a favor and read “Oh God, Not Again!” by Sarah1281

it is a harry potter fanfic from like 2009, 160k words, 50 chapters

basically, adult Harry accidentally goes back in time and wakes up on his 11th birthday again, but with all his memories of the future intact

(the way he travels back makes no sense whatsoever but it doesn’t really matter)

harry decides upon 3 goals:

fuck up as much shit as possible

make a shitload of money

save some lives or whatever

it is

H I L A R I O U S

his go-to explanation for how he knows what’s going to happen?

he has a psychic scar

(hermione is SO PISSED about this)

(neville’s like “either he’s psychic, or he’s the greatest conman alive”)

everyone just sort of assumes harry’s insane and he doesn’t do much to dispute this

harry also decides to make it his mission in life to LOSE the house cup every year

“snape is my sole ally”

he also goes out of his way to befriend neville, ginny, and luna earlier this time, so they’re part of the gang throughout and it’s great

even draco is a friend!

(kind of)

(when harry’s not spreading a rumor that draco’s the lovechild of narcissa and snape, anyway)

harry’s motivation for everything he does in this story is basically, “oh, this will be hilarious”

either that or, “it’s probably a tax deductible”

because the way lockhart is written in this story is also amazing and harry ends up teaming up with him to merchandise The Boy Who Lived so he can have cash to burn

(so he gets a LOT of shit done via bribes)

it gets to the point where harry is able to convince everyone that he’s not the heir of slytherin…. because if he was, he’d have found a way to make money off of it

and everyone’s like “yeah ok that checks out”

in this timeline, neville’s boggart isn’t snape…. it’s harry as the minister of magic

harry also decides to make sure cedric lives by quizzing him constantly on what to do if he ends up in a graveyard

harry: by the way, that reminds me – cedric. graveyard.

cedric, not even really listening: run like hell.

the sheer magnitude to which harry does not give a fuck in this timeline is truly awe-inspiring

he mouths off to everyone, and i mean everyone. lockhart, snape, the dursleys, malfoy, friggin’ voldemort

everyone is like “what… what the fuck, harry”

(though by the end of first year it’s more like “… *deep sigh* … fine.

snape is so angry

it’s fucking hysterical and just about everyone ends up better off

here’s the link

thank me later

[keyflight790]

for the positivity, can you tell us about some of your favourite followers?

YAY!!! I’d love to tell you about my four biggest followers (over the past 3 days)

@bowtiesandbowtruckles - one of my first followers that I didn’t know from discord, or from reading their works on A03. And seriously, Mel is just super supportive of the fandom. I smile every time I see her name cross my activity or my dash because her reblogs are on point, and I love that she’s happy with the content I’m spewing. Thank you so much for all of your support, darling. It means the world to me.

@dewitty1 - I met Carey on discord back when I just started writing, and we talked about drarry life. Now we talk almost every day about real life and fics we’ve read and what’s going on, and it’s such a bright spot for me. Plus she has these amazing fic rec lists that fill up my bookmarks and my kindle with delightful and hot works, and her comments on my fics always make me squeal. All the hearts, my friend!

@breathofmine - I cannot begin to say how much Tsun has changed my life.

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good

@fantom-ftnoise - my precious sunflower, I love Fan for every petal. She is such a positive, precious, supportive, hilarious, amazing bean. May we grow together in the garden of fucking on Ministry Time TM. 

Thank you for the ask and letting me squeal positivity this morning nonny!

[jumpboy-rembrandt]

do you have any taz fic recs? especially taakitz or blupjeans!!

i am very sorry for how long this took!! i am an old lady who stores her bookmarks in browser, and after figuring out how to transfer them from phone to laptop, i realized i would have to carefully review all 65!! this took most of the day.

disclaimer: i tried to focus mostly on the ships you mentioned, but i got distracted by some of the really good gen fic i keep around. it’s just. it’s my favorite you guys.

apologies if you’ve already read all of these – i’m not sure what the trends of the fandom are. if all else fails, here’s a link to posts tagged both fic and blupjeans, and here’s one for fic and taakitz. i also have a fic rec tag that includes a few things i apparently never bookmarked properly!! check that out too :)

blupjeans:

watch me stumble over and over by rosesandspades713

2k // the stolen century

lup and barry get together, with taako working both sides into talking to each other

just a little change by writingismycoffee

5k // tsc

barry gets a mustache and lup hates it. mostly silly, but the reason she hates it is much worse than she first thought.

10k // mainly tsc

a very sweet, very well-written compilation of important moments in lup and barry’s romance

the phoenix flame by alatarmaia4

32k // PRINCESS BRIDE AU

i’ll be honest, my shitty memory doesn’t allow me to remember the story very well, but from what i can remember it kicks major ass and julia is in it at the end. also, it’s a princess bride au. of course it’s great.

taakitz:

wouldn’t have it any other way by theplace

8k // between eleventh hour and suffering game

taako and kravitz have a nice night out, except there’s a surprise waiting back at the moonbase. kravitz meets the family, and there’s only some mild angst by way of dramatic irony.

(when i think about you) flowers grow out of my grave by piraete

30k // flower shop/mortician au

krav needs to find a new flower shop for work and accidentally meets a very cute elf who needs a date to his friends’ wedding. taako and magnus are friends with carey, killian, hurley, and sloane, plus little ango is present. very very good fic.

commitment issues by anonymous puzzler

6k // stolen century and post-canon

the twins aren’t used to permanence. here are two times they discuss it. includes teasing and doubt and sappiness. it’s very good.

counting days by violentsarcasm

3k // stolen century and post-canon

sort of the inverse of the previous one: both twins are romantic nerds. also discusses lup’s time in the umbrastaff.

character studies:

i have loved the stars too fondly by quilly

26k // pre-canon and tsc

an incredible character study of davenport. legitimately one of the best fics ever written. i know you’re looking for romance, but this is a work of art.

a character study of lup. “the universe owes lup interest. it owes her fifteen dollars, minimum.”

because that’s what love is (equivalent exchange) by teacuptaako

9k // post-canon

taako and lup recover together

caleb cleveland and the case of the missing memories by vigs

3k // pre-crystal kingdom

pieces set to fall by weatheredlaw

9k // post-canon

i’ll tell you up front. everyone dies in this fic. it is sad but sweet, and you will probably cry.

that being said, it really is a beautiful story about taako saying goodbye.

kindness won’t save anyone by kitahart

pre-stolen century // 5k

taako is sick and his friends are worried! a thb as family fic. angst and comfort.

the game is already lost by altschmerzes

9k // written pre-suffering game

fluff-without-plot. taako needs affection from his friends and doesn’t realize how much they love him. i think this is the top-rated fic on ao3 so you’ve probably already read it, but it was the first taz fic i read and i cherish it.

AND OF COURSE: if you’ve been on my blog for more than a few seconds, you already know this but go here and read everything

[trillgutterbug]

hi!! so, oh my gosh, i just read your fic “concerning flight” and i loved it SO MUCH. i’ve reread it like three times now and i’m in need of more thor/lady loki! do you happen to have any other fic recommendations similar to yours? it’s such an interesting dynamic and i am FASCINATED.

i hope you didn’t send this ask too long ago anon bc i never got a notification for it!!! tumblr is a truly wonderful and functional site (((((:

anyway, thank you for your kind words!!! i am so fucking thirsty for lady loki/thor, or really anything at all that touches on loki’s vague and flirtatious relationship to gender and sexuality, including and especially his apparent obsession with having all kinds of ill-advised babies. there was this very excellent rec list going around a bit ago to that effect which i cannot for the life of me locate now, but let me give you a few of the fics i have bookmarked and maybe other people (like @reserve) can jump in with some add ons?

(excuse the ugly links im stuck with mobile while my laptop does its own rendition of the mariah carey “i can’t read” gif re connecting to the internet)

here’s one rec list that includes a few relevant fics:http://reserve.tumblr.com/post/167591761100/my-friend-i-am-a-devoted-lurker-on-your-page-i

and here are the ones i specifically have bookmarked:https://archiveofourown.org/works/12852915 (exceedingly good and hilarious writing) https://archiveofourown.org/works/12659847 (hot as fuuuuuuuck, pure porn)https://archiveofourown.org/works/465339 (aka loki having ill-advised babies)https://archiveofourown.org/works/268867 (same as above)https://archiveofourown.org/works/437199 (also same as above; this one and the previous one are less about gender stuff and more about loki being a terrible slut and having babies, so idk if that floats your boat or not, but eh)

also here’s some terrible porn i myself wrote a few years ago:https://archiveofourown.org/works/1056703

also also….. im writing something very similar to concerning flight for the thorki bigbang, basically an extended take on the same kernel of an idea. could possibly be taken as a sequel. SO LET’S SEE IF I CAN GET OFF MY GODDAMN ASS AND ACTUALLY FINISH IT IN TIME!!

[a-big-apple]

TAZ Fic Recs

I’m bad at keeping bookmarks or remembering titles or remembering authors’ names, so I’m keeping my TAZ recs in a post instead! There are TONS of great fics in this fandom, and here’s a surely incomplete list of some that brought me particular joy.

Newest additions to the list are at the top, last updated February 2020.

Hey hey, marry me Barry by @qpenguin98 - rated Teen and Up

If you want to just be emotionally shattered by romance in really lovely and positive ways, please read this fic. This might be my favorite Blupjeans story I’ve ever read. It’s beautiful, it’s skillfully and subtly written, it has great emotional payoff, and I cried a LOT. I don’t want to give too much description of the plot because it was really impactful going in blind, but it’s all about Barry and the rest of Lup’s family ganging up to make her (and themselves) really happy, and it’s beautiful.

because that’s what love is (equivalent exchange) by teacuptaako - rated Teen and Up

This fic broke me a little. It’s Barry’s POV on the Starblaster, getting to know everyone, falling in love with Lup, and trying to figure out Taako. This is a FAB outside perspective on Taako’s weird outer layers of personality. Plus Barry is just such a good dude, it’s impossible to not love this trip inside his head!

Dumb Interspecies Relations series by nah_tho - rated Explicit

If you’re into Taako and Brad Bradson, well, you’ve probably already read this series? But if you haven’t, DO. What starts out as a fun sexy romp gets plotty and full of worldbuilding, Taako is a fantastic mess, and Brad is trying real hard. This series is hilarious, hot, sometimes suspenseful, and the final story made me cry.

got a license to kill (and you know I’m going straight for your heart) by @hoothootmotherf-ckers - rated Teen and Up

THIS FIC WAS MY GIFT IN THE 2019 TAZ CANDLENIGHTS GIFT EXCHANGE, I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT. It’s so wonderful!! A multi-chapter assassin AU with some coffee shop and fake relationship in there too, unbelievable. Lup is a badass. Barry is adorable. They love each other, and also get shot at, and also fight Big Pharma. Please go read it, srsly.

After the War by theauthoress - Not Rated

This fic took a twist I haven’t seen before, and I loved it! Dredging up some good angst from Taako’s past and then from Kravitz’s, it delivers a punch and then soothes you again with some good sibling stuff. I don’t want to say more and give away the surprise, but if you like some Taakitz hurt/comfort, do check this one out.

Apogee by @charmandhex - rated Teen and Up

I admit, I am one of those who think Taako won’t ever forgive Lucretia, but that they can be civil again, and maybe even friends. This fic captures that so beautifully, how much history there is between them that neither of them can escape. It’s lovely, and Taako is baller, and I read it twice in a row.

you know, elf practice series by @anonymousalchemist - rated from General to Teen and Up

Yet another one that I can’t believe I didn’t already have on this list. I know the elf practice thing as a meme has mostly vanished into the tumblr ether, but these two fics are on my mind always. They’re just so unusual, and the kind of creepy that’s treated as matter-of-fact (which is the best kind of creepy). What if elves had to, you know, practice? To become elves? Just thinking about it gives me a shiver, I love this fairycore take on Taako and Lup and their upbringing.

the kid, the future forthcoming by @anonymousalchemist - rated Teen and Up

Seriously, how did I not have this on my list already, I reread it all the time! It’s so incredibly hard to make second person work, and this fic really works. It’s a short and compelling vignette of young Taako’s life, and young Taako-and-Lup’s life, and the difficulties of a scrappy teenhood. It’s a little heartbreaking, and full of perfect moments that I think about a lot. Also, tiny Barry cameo that gives me so many feels! Also also, just...the mood of it is so good, the inside-of-Taako’s-head feeling, wonderful.

Taking the dogs home by Anonymous - rated Mature

What an extremely quiet and beautiful story! Set after Story and Song, at Magnus’ house in an almost dreamlike country woods setting. Taako shows up out of the blue, perhaps escaping a problem he won’t discuss, and falls back into Magnus’ small town routine. There’s a lot of subtly layered domesticity and realistic, compelling Taagnus feeling. Also, a dog! 

Heads/Tails by unprofessionalbard - rated Teen and Up

Short and powerful! I loved this fic. A really well-characterized look at Taako and Kravitz, and how their jobs and their personal lives intersect and interfere with each other. I don’t want to give anything away because it unfolds really precisely, I think, so--just go read it! It’s awesome.

and at a certain age the child is grown by bimaukery - rated Teen and Up

This is a really beautiful, bittersweet modern AU. The IPRE family move into Angus’ grandpa’s house, while Angus is still there, and he can’t understand why. He watches them, tries in small ways to interact with them--as they try to figure out what to do about the little ghost haunting their new house. Honestly, go read this and cry over it for a while, it’s lovely.

The Shrike and the Thorn by JoyfullyyoursDav ( @keplercryptids ) - rated Teen and Up

If you haven’t had enough of crying about Taako and Lup, here’s a great fic for you. That Good Sibling Shit, flashbacks, memory loss, beautiful conversations, just...everything I could want in a lovely little package. Also, PLEASE check out this author’s other stories, so many great ones!

(when i think about you) flowers grow out of my grave by @phantomsteed - rated Teen and Up

This Taakitz fic is one of my fav kinds of modern AU: Taako works in a flower shop, Krav is a mortician, they meet cute and fall in love! The ensemble are all there in the background, including a very adorable Angus and a soon-to-be-married Carey and Killian, but what really got me about this is the gentle and steady way our favorite boys fall in love. There are also SUPER lovely illustrations by @karinhart sprinkled throughout!

a fool for lesser things by himemiyaa - rated Teen and Up

This fic charmed the PANTS off me, and made me teary to boot. Taako and Kravitz are new roommates in this community college AU (and, surprise, they end up together). I love the way Taako slowly opens up in this story, to Kravitz, to the community of friends Lup has built that he’s been keeping himself outside of, and especially to Garyl the cat. It feels so real, and like a reminder to myself to be more vulnerable in my own life! Please go read this, it will lift your spirits.

Among the Ruins by @distractedkat - rated Teen and Up

I don’t know how I went so long without finding this fic, and then for a little while I resisted because I wasn’t sure about the description. Finally over the weekend I read the whole thing in a sitting, and I’m SO glad I did. It’s fantastic!! This AU reimagines the canon if Taako’s time post-Sizzle It Up had gone differently. What follows from that is an engrossing and plausible version of events with lots of action, lots of funny lines, lots of feelings, and lots more Lup! There’s a little angst, a lot of twins and Taakitz goodness, and a wonderfully happy ending. If you’re looking for something nice and long to dive into, definitely try this one.

Angus McDonald and the Flight of the Flying V by @mystery-moose - rated Teen and Up

This was one of the first fics I read in this fandom, before I thought to keep track of things I liked or bookmark them to find them again. Then it turned up in @marywhal‘s rec list, and I was overjoyed to find it again! As the rest of this list will show, I have a special weakness for stories about Taako as Angus’ guardian, and this one really shaped my headcanons about their relationship. In the main portion of the story, a grown-up Angus with his own detective agency is working a case--with a bored and lonely Taako’s help. Interspersed with the mystery are flashbacks to their time on the road as Sizzle it Up with Taako and Company, achingly soft glimpses of Angus’ post-finale childhood as Taako and Kravitz’s sort-of-son. I think it was finished before the actual finale aired, so it isn’t entirely canon-compliant, but it captures the same tone beautifully.

i will buy the flower shop by @weatheredlaw - rated Teen and Up

I saved this fic for an emotionally rainy day, because I had a feeling it would brighten things up. It absolutely did! A modern restaurant AU with all the necessary found family feelings, and all of our favorite characters with lives that aren’t perfect but that get better with communication and vulnerability and persistent joy. If you’re looking for something poignant and satisfying, something to lighten a bad day, this fic is an excellent choice.

Taako and Hurley’s Maximum Fun Drive by detectivelion - rated Teen and Up

WHAT A ROMP! If you’re longing to get back to the high speed action of battlewagon racing, this is the fic to read. Set after the Day of Story and Song, the whole crew (Hurley and Sloane included, of course) face off in a madcap race that really recaptured the spirit of Petals to the Metal for me.

Bureau of Badass ( @bureauofbadass ) by @chemicallywrit  and @miceenscene  - rated Teen and Up

This fic almost feels too obvious to rec, and yet I can’t not. SUCH AN ENGROSSING READ! Take all your favorite characters, stick them in the 90′s, give them attitude and relatable problems, and put them on skates--then you’ve got this roller derby AU. I don’t even know what else to say about it, because if that doesn’t make you want to read it, nothing will. As of this writing it’s a WIP, but there are over 100 chapters extant to read and only a few more yet to come!

and the warmth will never die by Junkyard_Rose - rated Teen and Up

This is an extraordinary fic. It’s a modern setting AU in which Taako and Lup were separated as kids and have made lives for themselves while searching for each other, which is wonderful all by itself. What stands out about this one, though, is the non-chronological way it’s told. Every chapter gives little glimpses into the pasts and presents of both twins, sometimes the same events from different angles, revealing a tiny bit of new information each time. I never found it confusing, just extremely interesting and vibrant, and SO emotionally satisfying in the last few chapters! The prose is beautiful too, sometimes I read it aloud to myself!

songs for revelations by @weatheredlaw  - rated Mature

So many of weatheredlaw’s fics wreck me in a variety of ways, but this one is maybe my favorite. It only has two chapters so far, but it’s SO EVOCATIVE and unusual and sometimes I just sit and think about it and wonder what will happen next. It’s the soft-apocalypse-adjacent AU I didn’t know I needed. Or, if you want to get fucked up by something finished, try their series all the way across the universe!

Bury the Lead by @marywhal - rated Teen and Up

Such a brilliant story! High school AUs are hard to do well, I think, and this is one of the best. It’s an ensemble story but from Taako’s POV, filled with extremely relatable versions of all the characters we know and love. There’s newspaper nerdery, wicked cool language stuff, and a million great moments that made me laugh, or cry, or both. Even if you don’t like AUs, I urge you to try this one!

Patterns of Migration by goodnicepeople - rated Teen and Up

Let me preface this by saying that I really want to put EVERYTHING by this author on my list. Their stories are all incredible, soft and beautiful and painful in good ways. It was hard to choose a favorite to list here, but this one is really special and elegantly crafted. It follows Angus and Magnus as child and parent, a progression over time as Angus grows up and Magnus slows down. In later chapters the addition of Taako to the dynamic produces some really lovely scenes, and also some very sad scenes--I cried a TON reading it.

Angus McDonald and the Case of the Mysterious Butter Wyvern by yassan - rated General Audiences

This is one of the funniest fics I’ve read in this fandom so far, and one of the closest in tone to the actual show. THB plus Angus is a great equation no matter what they’re doing, but when they’re shopping for a birthday present for the Director it takes on a whole new level of crazy. 

what can the harvest hope for by lagaudiere - rated Teen and Up

I think this is the first story on this list from Kravitz’s POV, and it’s GREAT. Full of great Reaper Squad interactions and marvelous Taakitz scenes, alternating with a really interesting, sometimes a little creepy, examination of John Hunger in the Eternal Stockade. If you’re into gray-area redemption stories and Kravitz being wonderful, then this is for you.

Oh have you seen my ghost? by greenglowsgold - rated Mature

Let me say first: if abuse or assault with intent to rape are triggering for you, you’ll probably want to give this one a pass. If that’s not an issue, then this is an excellently written and heart-hurting story about Taako’s past with Sazed, as seen through an unexpected and dangerous encounter. It’s beautifully subtle, and the last few lines legit broke my heart.

Reverie - by ltdominic - rated Teen and Up

Update: Reverie is finished! And it’s so beautiful, everything the first chapter hinted it would be. It’s one of my favorite themes, fucked-up Taako recovering from losing memories and getting them back. It’s painful and lovely, featuring a family who can see that something is wrong but can’t quite fix it, intermingled with backstory flashbacks. This story really captures the day to day struggle; there’s a crisis, and improvement, but there’s no perfectly happy ending.

“Cute, but still fucked up.” - by writersstareoutwindows - rated General Audiences

If you’re looking for a short and sweet pick-me-up in your day, this is it! The author drops you into a pitch-perfect and adorable scene between Taako, Lup, and Angus. They’ve captured a teasing-but-loving dynamic between the three that made me grin like a lunatic.

Taste Test (They Were Delicious) - by @marywhal - rated Teen and Up

Another moving and wonderful Taako-centric fic, made up of a series of vignettes set from the Starblaster years onward. Each section features a different meal (with a recipe, which is exciting), and a beautifully-written glimpse into Taako’s relationships. Lup features heavily, as one might guess, but the real through line is Lucretia, who poignantly bookends the story.

it takes a village - series by neverwinter ( @nxymxrjr ) - ratings range from General to Mature

This series is a modern AU full of extremely beautiful and moving found family interactions, told mostly from Angus’ point of view, and heavily featuring Taako as his legal guardian. You will notice if you read through this rec list that Taako and Angus as flawed-father-figure-and-son is MY FAVORITE THING, and this author does it so, so well. There’s some good parenting, some good sibling stuff with Taako and Lup, lovely Taakitz romance, and frequent cameos by the rest of the TAZ family. None of the stories in the series are explicit so far, but mind the tags for things like mental health issues, past abuse, and blood. Also, DEFINITELY check out their other TAZ stories!

with a pace and fury defiant - by redqueentheory - rated Mature

This author explores Taako’s inner life post-finale and the darker emotions that could follow that glorious happy ending. When he locates Kalen, he and Merle plan a road/camping trip with Magnus as cover and set off to avenge Julia. It’s beautifully written, sometimes painfully emotive (in a good way), and describes so much of what I headcanon about Taako’s feelings and how he deals with them that it’s like the author was reading my mind. It’s WONDERFUL (but check the tags, there is some violence). Do check out their other work as well, especially if you are into Bradko!

running into the sun (but i’m running behind) - by @quillyfied - rated General Audiences

Set between Crystal Kingdom and 11th Hour, this is a fantastic THB bonding fic! The bubble cannon breaks and strands the boys in the middle of the Faerun countryside, forcing them into a road trip that alternates wonderfully between sweet moments, drama from the past coming back to bite them, and very funny goofs. Their voices feel really in character to me, and the tone of this story is light enough that it could be a bonus episode of the show. I absolutely loved it, and I reread it all the time! Also, if you are a Davenchurch fan, definitely read i have loved the stars too fondly.

Wizard of Fortune - series by @fiercebadrabbit - rated General Audiences

This author has resisted the temptation to make Taako a Reaper when he dies--instead, he becomes a servant of Istus, creating a unique, beautiful, fascinating version of the far future in the Balance universe. I LOVE IT, so so much. Taako’s unusual personality shines through in all of his interactions, viewed through the eyes of the strangers who benefit from the hand of Fate. The writing has a lovely, mystical feel, which is a style I adore! This author has also written some very charming Taakitz, so check that out as well.

UPDATE: When fiercebadrabbit asked for ficlet requests, I excitedly asked for more Taako as a servant of Istus--and got THIS WONDERFUL GEM in reply! Go read it for excellent sibling sass!

through the days you will dream of losing me and losing you - by @androidsfighting - rated Teen and Up

I love stories about memory, and this one BREAKS ME every time I read it. An exceptionally written look at Taako after the finale and how he recovers (or doesn’t) from the effects of the Voidfish. There’s some really excellent Taako and Lup scenes, some great Barry, some great Lucretia, and lots of very visceral prose about remembering and forgetting and the confusion in between. It’s fairly short, but packs a powerful punch. I feel like this is both the fic I’ve wanted since hearing the finale and also the fic I’ve been trying to write since finishing the finale, so it’s both perfect and intimidating!

Luster - by @lsunnyc - rated Mature

This one is a WIP, but nearly done and worth the wait! After the finale, Taako is abducted from the train on a business trip to Goldcliff. The story alternates between Taako’s perspective, imprisoned but viciously determined to escape, and the rest of the TAZ family trying frantically to track him down when they realize he never made it to his destination. It’s SO DAMN GOOD YOU GUYS. Taako is very in character here and his intelligence and power really shine under stress; the worldbuilding of the “prison” where he’s trapped is also precise and fantastic. Every day that this fic has an update is a Good Day for me. Keep an eye on the tags though, there’s some carefully written dubcon.

Our own, soft hearts - series by @wildgoosery - ratings range from Teen to Explicit

If you, like me, longed to hear more of Taako and Kravitz on dates, then this series is your antidote! They’re so in character, and they’re so in love, and their every interaction is so wonderful. This fic really brings me joy, and also is sexy as hell. Also, the most recent installment is a wonderfully drawn fan comic! The author’s other work is also sexy and great, do check it out!

<3 If you’ve made it all the way to the bottom of this list and want even more fic to read, may I humbly suggest mine? Mostly about Taako, light touches of angst, and hopefully prose that approaches the wonderfulness of the stories I’ve recced here.

Weapons of Massive Consumption by SanderVanSunshine @sandervansunshine

Eight years after the war, Harry Potter lives a life of hedonism: raging parties, huge impulse purchases, and seemingly no worries. But it's Draco Malfoy—former Death Eater, lover of blueberry muffins, and bane of coffee shop workers—who starts to wonder if it's all a front, if something's actually terribly wrong with him. Why else would Potter ask Draco, of all fucking people, to write his biography?

What We Left Behind by peachydreamxx @peachydreamxx

Harry's recovering from an injury. Malfoy's recovering from heartbreak. Beaten down and bruised, Harry takes up Malfoy's offer to stay at his secluded seaside cottage in Dorset. It'll be good to get away from it all. It's only for a few days, and it's only so he can heal. Nothing else. Digging up past feelings will only make matters worse, and besides, Malfoy doesn't feel the same way. Does he?

Take You Home by lq_traintracks (lumosed_quill) @lqtraintracks

Everybody’s a little fucked up after the war, Draco especially. What starts as hate sex after a night out, eventually turns into something else, something more like comfort. And even though his friends all tell Harry he’s just being used, all Harry’s doing is making sure Draco gets home in one piece. He’s not falling helplessly in love.

Vipera Berus by Justlikewriting

Everything was fine. Draco resided at the Manor, made a decent living selling potions and most of his customers actually kept coming back despite his last name. Hence, Draco was fine. He really was. So what, if he was still waiting.

Title & Possession by Kbrick @kbrick

Harry Potter’s life is going well in the aftermath of the war. Sure, his house is dark and run-down and might hate him (while his house elf definitely hates him). But other than that, things are good. Except, yeah, okay, Hermione and Ron are no longer on speaking terms. Worse, they keep trying to get Harry to pick sides. But otherwise, Harry couldn’t be happier. Well. Except for the fact that Ginny is being super weird about their relationship and never wants to have sex or talk about the future. But other than that, Harry is perfectly fine, thankyouverymuch. At least, he is until Draco Malfoy sues him for ownership of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Then Harry really isn’t fine at all.

Summary:

One summer evening, Harry Potter vanished in the middle of dinner with his friends. Four days later he came back. Sort of. Draco Malfoy is on the case.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt under the cut due to possible spoiler...

Excerpt:

“We have three children, Draco and I.” Potter’s voice grew soft. “James, Al and Lily.”

Time seemed to slow, then, to a syrupy crawl. Draco couldn’t take his eyes from Potter. He felt like he might be making a gormless sort of face but caring about that was about as far from his thoughts as possible. Breathing was barely on the agenda.

“James is the eldest, named for my dad. We call him Jamie most of the time, but he’s about to go to Hogwarts so he’s working on a rebrand to make himself seem cooler. Wants us to call him ‘Ruby’.” Potter snorted softly. “His middle name is Rubeus, for Hagrid.”

Potter looked at Draco with a tiny smile. “I don’t know if he’s told you this here, but Hagrid saved us, really. He took me when I was a baby to my aunt and uncle, and he really didn’t want to leave me there, cried all over me, not that I remember it. Saw it in a Pensieve once. But he took me away from them too, right on the dot of midnight when I turned eleven. He was the one who told me I was magic, and told me the truth about my parents, and stood up to my shit family. Hagrid was there for me my whole life. So we named our boy James Rubeus. Hagrid cried all over me again after we told him.”

“I can only imagine the state of your shirt after that one,” Draco said mildly, and Potter huffed a small laugh.

“So. Everyone calls him Ruby at the moment, and Hagrid’s his godfather, and he’s got black hair like me, but he has your eyes.” Potter flinched, then corrected, “Draco’s eyes.”

Draco’s heart felt like it skipped several beats, then returned with a hard thump. “Who’s next?”

Potter smiled again. “Then there’s Al—that’s short for Alphard Alastor. The first bit is after an uncle of Sirius’ who left him money after his parents disowned him. I don’t know much about him but I always appreciated him for that. And the other bit. Erm. I don’t know if you remember Mad-Eye…”

Draco’s eyes widened. “Not the ferret guy.”

Potter bit his lips and rubbed his hand over his mouth, but there was nothing that could hide his smile. “Erm, yeah. I had a bit of a soft spot for him and he died while trying to protect me from Voldemort. I’m a bit sentimental about it. But that one was slightly more of an aggressive negotiation.”

“I fucking bet it was,” Draco said.

“You came around, though.”

“I’d love to know how you convinced me. Him.”

“I have my ways.” And that was so laden with innuendo that Draco felt himself go red, and he abruptly understood how his other self could have been persuaded to name his own son after someone who had turned him unwillingly into a rodent.

“Al is like a little clone of me unless he opens his mouth, and then he’s you to the bone. I’ve never been rinsed so hard by a child since I was at school with you.” It was said with such fondness that Draco almost wanted to cry, to grab Potter, to kiss him and make a fucking baby with him right there in the becrumbed sheets. But it wasn’t this Harry that he wanted to do those things with. Not really.

“And then there’s Lily. That’s mum’s name. Lily Arabella, we nearly made it Arabella Lily but then you quite rightly pointed out that Bella would be the natural diminutive and we both decided we didn’t need that reminder for the rest of our lives. She’s the baby, only two, or she will be soon. We call her Belly, because Al couldn’t say Lily and called her Billy at first and it was just too stupidly cute to correct him, and by the time she was learning her own name she would just scream Belly at the top of her lungs and it wasn’t worth the trouble to correct her when that was also extremely fucking cute. She’s got your hair and my eyes, and your pointy chin and all my sass. She’s so naughty, Draco, it's incredible. We have so much fun.” Potter’s face crumpled. “Fuck.”

“Oh,” Draco said, as Potter’s shoulders started to shake. “Oh, I…”

“What if I can’t get back, what if I never see them again—”

He didn’t let himself think, he just slid himself closer until his arms were around Potter again.

“I’ll find a way, I promise you. I promise you.” Draco’s voice was low, soothing, his hand in Potter’s hair. “I’ve got you. I’ll do everything I can to get you home, Harry.”

“Thank you.” He felt it more than heard it, and he held Potter tightly and murmured to him.

“Your children sound beautiful. Especially the ones who are just like me.” Potter laughed wetly. “Can’t help but notice the names are very Potter-coded. Nothing even remotely astrological. More evidence of your powers of persuasion, I suppose.”

“That was all your idea, actually,” Potter sniffed, and pulled a hankie from his pocket. “You said—Draco said—when they started at Hogwarts they could choose their own constellation if they wanted to and we’d make it official with the Ministry. No more ‘burdensome gothic nonsense’, I think your words were. Ruby is going in September and he’s picked Betelgeuse.”

“That’s not a constellation,” Draco said, scandalised. “Salazar’s manky—”

“That’s what my Draco said as well, but not to Ruby’s face. He’s sticking to this autonomy thing even if it gives him hives.”

“Any early preferences from the other two?” Betelgeuse! His father would roll in his grave.

“Al wants Leo, which is so funny to me because he seems a born Slytherin, but Draco said he told him at bathtime once that it’s because he wants his initials to sound the same as his name does if you said them together—AAL. Such a typically weird and Al thing to say.” Potter smiled, and his eyes were faraway. “Belly’s too young, but her favourite page in the astronomy book has always been Ursa Minor. She’s chewed nearly the whole corner off that page. She’s also a bit partial to Sirius and I haven’t discouraged her. I think that would be pretty cool, actually.”

They sat in companionable silence for a while, and Potter sipped his tea. Draco’s shirt was wet again, but it was about the last thing on his mind. He wanted to ask to see the photographs on Potter’s mobile. No doubt there would be photographs of the whole family, and his curiosity poked at the idea like a tongue prodding the socket of a lost tooth. He didn’t ask Potter to show him that, though. It had been hard enough when Potter had looked on his own. That wouldn’t be fair.

“I always thought,” Draco found the words spilling out without thought. “If I had a son, I’d call him—”

“Scorpius.” Potter smiled when Draco looked at him. “Yeah, I know. I’ve been working on you for just one more. I think you’re coming around.”

“Your Draco is,” Draco said gently. “Potter—”

“Could you please call me Harry?” Potter interrupted. “Please. I promise you I understand that you’re not him, I know I keep getting the words muddled up. It would just be a comfort to me, if you could call me Harry.”

“Of course I can,” Draco said, and his heart tore into ever more numerous pieces. “Harry.”

Potter closed his eyes and smiled.

Summary:

In 2004, when Remus spends two scary weeks in the ITU due to complications of pneumonia and his HIV condition, Sirius walks around the house like a ghost and Harry finds comfort and strength in Draco through a chat in an online LGBT forum. Harry falls for him, but Draco has a lot of secrets and, before long, will need to come clean—even if he believes that no one is able to understand a dragon.

This is a story about falling in love online and about facing the reality of death, but above all, this is a story about hope, finding love and acceptance. (Non-magical / bookshop AU, written for the 25 days of Drarry 2020)

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

“When we met in the forum, I was hopeless,” he goes on, fingers holding tight now. “I thought no one would ever love me or care for me anymore. But then you were there, talking about your godfather Moony, about how scared you were of losing him,” Draco’s voice waivers a bit. He takes a shaky breath. “About how much you loved him, even though—”

His voice catches in the back of his throat and Harry holds his hand tighter, pulling him in back here, now, in the car, in his hands.

“Even though he is HIV-positive.” Draco says.

He takes a long breath. 

Harry wonders. And maybe—

“I met you when my head was still full of prejudices and myths and fear and I was so bloody afraid of being lonely, Harry.”

Harry sees Draco’s face transforming in front of him, and there’s this deep sadness that always accompanied Draco from the moment Harry met him. But this time, Harry can see it with his own eyes, how Draco’s eyes look sorrowful and cold and scared and lost. 

So bloody lost. 

“Harry, I’m...I-I’m—” His lips tremble and his eyes go wet and Harry watches transfixed as a tear slides down Draco’s cheek and he shuts his eyes firmly. 

Lost.

Afraid.

Full of self-loathing.

Scared of not being loved. 

And it clicks. 

Because Harry has lived his whole life surrounded by different kinds of people with these same struggles and fears. He was raised by a man that fought everyday against the constant disgust and discrimination thrown at him. 

Harry watched first-hand how slurs and offences were spat at Remus, how his own teachers have been concerned sometimes about Harry being raised by a HIV-positive gay man. 

He wonders how he hasn’t noticed before.

Draco’s eyes are closed, his lips pressed in a tight line and his shoulders shaking lightly. 

Harry sees him. Truly. For who he is, for the fears he has, for the life he’s been grieving after for all these months.

He understands, finally. Even without the words being said. 

But he needs to hear it.

Harry moves, taking Draco’s face in both his hands, drying the tears with the pads of his thumbs and coaching Draco’s face up. 

“Look at me, Draco,” he asks with a gentle voice. “ Please , look at my bright green eyes and say it. Trust me,” Harry pleads. 

Draco’s eyes open—they look strikingly bright. He licks his lips and sniffs softly. He lifts his hands and takes hold of Harry’s wrists—not aggressively, not to move him away, just holding on, holding still, keeping himself grounded. 

Draco takes a deep shaky breath. The rims of his eyes are damp and reddened. He blinks twice and then looks at Harry firmly, his hold on Harry’s wrists goes tighter. His jaw works and he swallows, licking his lips softly. 

(*reccers note - there is a spoiler from the fic under the cut. I often post the Drarry first kiss as my recs. I don’t think this takes away from the fic at all. You may feel differently. If you decide to read further that is your choice.)

“I’m HIV-positive, Harry.”

Draco’s voice is not shaking this time. It’s clear and louder than before. Resolute.

Harry nods, feeling resolute himself.

“Thanks for telling me, Draco.” His voice doesn’t waiver either. 

Their gaze holds, with intense emotion and spoken truth. 

And Harry understands.

The low self-esteem. 

The depression. 

The weight loss. 

The pain. 

The shame.

The sadness. 

The fears.

The lies .

Harry really understands.

“Draco, I’m going to kiss you now,” Harry warns, a second before he moves forward and presses their lips together.

Summary:

On a stag do in sunny Brighton with the Gryffindor lads, the last person Harry expects to run into is Draco Malfoy. After a glimpse of Malfoy’s Muggle life in Britain’s gay capital, Harry’s curiosity gets the better of him and he finds himself returning to the seaside again and again, drawn to the city, drawn to this new version of Malfoy that Harry barely recognises from school.

Meanwhile, Draco’s just trying to live his big and best queer life: working for the weekend, chasing hot men, getting lost in Brighton's nightlife, and making friends with the neighbourhood cats. Why does his former school rival and crush have to show up and spoil everything?

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

The room is hot; Draco doesn’t normally sleep in his clothes like this.

He thinks of what Potter told him, that he normally sleeps in his pants at home, and he wonders if —

—a sudden cool touch swipes across Draco’s forehead, breaking Draco’s sluggish train of thought. It moves slowly, Potter’s arm momentarily blocking the hazy morning light shining in from the window above their heads.

Draco looks up. 

Potter is staring at him across the pillows, his inky black lashes low, his face sleep-soft. His fingers are ticklish, careful, and when they find Draco’s scar, Draco holds his breath.

Potter runs the pad of his thumb from the point of Draco’s chin to the inch just below Draco’s nose where the scar ends; he follows the path, over and over, warmth and shame and hurt swirling deep in the pit of Draco’s stomach. 

Draco opens his mouth but no words come out. 

Potter’s thumb dips to touch the most sensitive, fragile part of Draco’s throat, his fingers splaying across Draco’s jaw, and he says, his voice rough, “I’m sorry—”

—and Draco says, “Don’t—”

—but Potter says “I’m sorry,” again, and Draco kisses him.

He presses into Potter’s space to do it, pushing a hand roughly into Potter’s wild, dark curls, hooking his thumb onto the hinge of Potter’s sharp jaw. Potter’s mouth opens readily, and it’s hot, so hot, and Draco doesn’t care that he tastes like last night’s wine, he doesn’t care that his own body is grotty and unwashed in yesterday’s clothes, because all that matters is the heat of Potter’s mouth and the swipe of his tongue and the immediate arch of his hard, willing body against Draco’s when he kisses him back roughly, moaning from the deepest part of his chest, hands gripping Draco’s arms—

Bzzz. Beep. Bzzz. Beep.

Potter pulls back, breathless, blinking.

Draco’s lips sting from the scrape of Potter’s beard, his heart hammering hard in his chest, the heat between his legs throbbing.

“What—” he mutters, but Potter’s already sitting, patting his hands wildly around the bedding until he finds it: his phone.

“Shit,” Potter says, rubbing his eyes, pushing his glasses on, peering at the screen. He groans. “Shit, I—Draco, I’m sorry,” he says. He looks at Draco sheepishly. “I kind of have to go. Like right now.”

Draco sits up quickly. He ignores the rush of blood, the sicky feeling in the back of his throat. “Go? Go where?”

“Home. London. I’ve—shit,” Potter mutters, climbing awkwardly out of bed, hopping around to find his shoes. He won’t meet Draco’s eyes. “I’ve messed something up and I have to go.”

“Er—alright,” Draco says, swallowing.

“Everything’s paid for,” Potter reminds him.

“I’m not worried about that,” Draco snaps.

“No—I… I know. I’m sorry,” Potter babbles, running a hand through his messy hair. He shoulders his rucksack. Grips his wand in hand and hobbles to the bed. “I’ll text you, alright?” he murmurs, leaning over Draco. He presses a quick peck to Draco’s lips, then another longer, lingering kiss, and with that, he Disapparates, vanishing from the room with a soft pop.

Draco flops back onto the pillows, head spinning, skin burning with flush. He closes his eyes.

“Fuck.”

Summary:

If someone told Harry six months ago that by autumn he would be single, living on whisky and toast, and dancing the night away with Draco Malfoy, he would have told them to get their head checked.

And yet, here he was.

(੭ˊ͈ ꒵ˋ͈)੭*⁺˚. * ･ ｡ﾟ☆

Excerpt:

Harry peered back down the hallway, and when he saw no one watching, he pushed his way past Malfoy into what turned out to be the toilet, shutting the door behind him.

"What are you doing?" Malfoy asked.

Harry crossed the room to the sink where a cigarette burned, smoke curling from the tip. Harry Vanished it.

"Hey!"

"Your rules, not mine," Harry said, crossing his arms.

"Oh fuck off, Potter. Go torture someone else."

"Since when is being around me torture?"

"Honestly? Since pretty much forever."

"What? Why?"

Harry was used to Malfoy's sharp tongue, unbothered by his cutting remarks, but he thought they were getting along. Maybe he wasn't doing the best job hiding his attraction, but he behaved and kept his hands to himself. That was more than Malfoy could say and he wasn’t even in Harry’s predicament.

"Because you're impossible," he said. "Look at you."

Harry glanced down dumbly because he didn't know what else to do.

Malfoy snorted without humour. "What are you even doing here? Why aren't you off staring dopily at Oliver Wood?"

"He had to leave."

"What a pity," Malfoy said, voice flat.

"What's your problem with Oliver?"

Malfoy's lips pressed into a thin line, colour blooming on his cheeks. "You fucked him. That's what you said when I asked if you were interested in men. Besides an old crush on a dead schoolmate, you said you fucked Oliver Wood after you got out of school."

"Yeah," Harry said slowly, willing it all to make sense.

Malfoy growled. "Shall I be expecting him round the flat tonight, then?"

"He invited me back to his hotel." Harry lifted his hand to show Malfoy his palm.

Malfoy grabbed his wrist a touch too hard, yanking it close to his face though he barely glanced at the writing.

"Are you going?"

"I haven't decided," Harry replied truthfully.

Malfoy's eyes bored into his. "Don't."

Harry blinked at him, surprised, tugging his hand from Malfoy's grasp. "Seems pretty hypocritical for you to have an opinion on that."

"Oh, it is. Completely."

Now Harry was really confused. "Weren't you telling me that celibacy didn't suit me?"

"It doesn't. But that was before."

"Before what?"

"Before I knew you liked cock."

Harry's mouth dropped open because Malfoy had some nerve. "What fucking difference does it make to you?"

"My gods, the answer to that should be painfully obvious, but let me make it abundantly clear." Malfoy's fingers tightened on Harry's wrist, and before Harry could think or react, Malfoy pressed Harry's hand against the front of his trousers, his cock a hard outline beneath Harry's palm.

Explosions lit behind Harry's eyes, bright red flags waving in every corner of his brain because this was more than a bad idea. This was dangerous.

Harry swallowed, throat suddenly too tight and too dry. "So you think because I like dick, I want yours?"

Malfoy bit his lip when Harry's fingers twitched, and Harry felt him throb through the fabric.

"No," Malfoy breathed. "Never in my wildest dreams. But you aren't exactly subtle. I see you watching me. I felt you that night when we danced. You want me."

Harry tightened his grip on the bulge in Malfoy's trousers, and Malfoy's next inhale hitched. Harry studied him with hard eyes, looking for the joke, the lie, a reason why Malfoy would be so cruel as to tease him, but Harry found none.

"I want you too," Malfoy said, his voice a rasp. "Fuck, do I want you."

Harry's last thread of restraint snapped and he crashed into Malfoy, taking his mouth in a rough kiss.

Malfoy gasped beneath him, his lips parting around a sharp breath, and Harry plunged in. He slotted their mouths together licking past Malfoy's teeth as he pressed their bodies flush, needing as much contact as possible because for once, Harry felt something other than a flood of panic at another person's touch.

His hand abandoned Malfoy's cock—the angle all wrong—and instead locked an arm around his waist. He wrapped his free hand around the back of Malfoy's neck, fingers tangled in the hair at his nape to keep him from pulling away long enough to breathe, or speak, or gods forbid stop.

Harry was done thinking. He didn't want to worry about the consequences for once and refused to consider all the ways in which he just made this strange, impossible friendship with Malfoy a thousand times more complicated, because this felt good. It felt right, and Harry was ready to lose himself to a sensation other than panic, fear, or blistering rage.

Summary:

Harry Potter’s life is going well in the aftermath of the war.

Sure, his house is dark and run-down and might hate him (while his house elf definitely hates him). But other than that, things are good.

Except, yeah, okay, Hermione and Ron are no longer on speaking terms. Worse, they keep trying to get Harry to pick sides. But otherwise, Harry couldn’t be happier.

Well. Except for the fact that Ginny is being super weird about their relationship and never wants to have sex or talk about the future. But other than that, Harry is perfectly fine, thankyouverymuch.

At least, he is until Draco Malfoy sues him for ownership of Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place.

Then Harry really isn’t fine at all.

Excerpt:

After, they were back at it, and Potter was dancing so close Draco was dizzy with it. He had his hands in Draco’s back pockets, his nose at Draco’s neck. “You always smell so good. But up close like this? Fucking hell.”

“You do, too,” Draco managed, his voice unsteady. He was so off his game. He was incapable of thinking clearly with Potter’s hands on him. “I like - I like the way your hoodies smell.”

”You’ve smelled my hoodies?” Draco opened his mouth, horrified, but Potter simply laughed. “I looked in your shower and sniffed your shampoo once. I was tempted to use it, so I’d smell a little like you, but I didn’t.” Draco couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t breathe. Potter straightened, looking at him again. His fingertips found their way to Draco’s mouth. “Your lips are so pretty. I love the way the top one goes into this sharp dip here.”

Draco kissed his finger, unable to stop himself. He wanted, he wanted, and he was so bad at doing the right thing.

Potter stopped and stared, and then he lunged.

His mouth was hot against Draco’s, and every bit as soft as Draco had imagined. Draco dragged him closer, his senses too full, full of pounding bass and the taste of Potter, the feel of Potter’s body pressed all along his, Potter’s hip bones under his hands, Potter’s prickly stubble scraping his chin and cheeks.

“I want you,” Potter said after long moments of heady snogging. “I want you to fuck me.”

“Potter, you’re drunk.” He said it with zero conviction.

“Don’t care,” Potter said, coming back to kiss him. “Take me home. I want you to show me. I want you to show me how it could be.”

Potter’s hands were sliding down the back of his jeans now, gripping the bare skin of his arse. He groaned and pressed his cock against Potter’s. He was so bloody hard, had been for the last hour at least.

“Jesus, Draco. When you told me what it was like,” Potter whispered in his ear. “Being fucked. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I want you to show me.”

“Sweet Salazar,” Draco murmured, and then he stopped and thought about what Potter just said.

Potter wanted to experiment. That’s what this was. He wanted to try this on now, while he and the Weaslette weren’t together. It was probably his one chance, because she’d take him back soon enough. Surely, she would, unless she really was a fucking idiot.

If they did this, it would be earth-shattering, ruinous, incredible. And then Potter would return to his actual life, his sweet little girlfriend, and Draco would be tossed aside like trash. “No,” he said, pushing Potter off. “No, you’re drunk. You don’t want this. You’re drunk and heartbroken and—”

“I’m not that drunk!” Potter’s eyes were full of fire. “I know what I’m doing. I know what I want.” He came closer, nipped at Draco’s lower lip, slid his hands up Draco’s shirt, skimming over his ribs.

“Fuck,” Draco breathed, pressing his cock to Potter’s again, feeling how hard Potter was, visions of fucking Potter dancing through his head. Holy hell, he wanted this. He wanted this. Saying no again might actually kill him, but— “No. Stop.”

Potter stopped.

Fic Recs Wrap Up October 2024ꐑ(ꐌ◡ꐌꐐ)࿐࿔࿓ཥ•̬͡•ོཤ(((༼•̫͡•༽)))←～（o ｀▽´ )oΨ

In Another Life (I Would Make You Stay) by aboutmalfoy

Seven years out from the war, Hermione comes to Harry with a way to undo the lasting damage done to the Wizarding World, and save those once lost. The catch is, only Harry will remember anything differently. When Harry wakes up in the world where Voldemort never came to be, he’ll have to navigate the life he never lived as if he’d been there all along. Except, a version of Harry was there all along—and he may not be so easily overridden. (Rec Post)

White Horses by JStevens

They say there are no white horses—those that we think of as white are really just a faded deceitful gray. And if there are no white horses, certainly there are no true heroes who will come riding in on one to save us from all our pain. After learning of the prophecy that will change his future, Harry returns to Hogwarts School for sixth year and finds that not everyone is who he thought they were. It seems that he is not. Definitely Draco Malfoy is not. As he tries to find a path to the end of his time at Hogwarts, he will have to grapple with questions of who to trust and who to love while navigating a world full of threats. This is a story of how we sometimes deceive ourselves and others, but hopefully find something true in the end. (Rec Post)

Recursion by Tessa Crowley (tessacrowley) @tessacrowley

A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two. But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way. ( Rec Post)

To have a Home by Aulophobia

Not quite a decade after the war, Draco Malfoy was happy with his quiet little Muggle life in Oxford. He had a small group of friends from the university he’d attended, and colleagues from the law firm where he worked as a solicitor. He played folk music on his violin around the city. And he volunteered to provide legal services getting mostly idiot teenagers out of trouble with the law. His life was full. He had no contact with the magical world, and all was the way he liked it. And the feeling of emptiness in his chest, the feeling some part of him was missing, was at least better than the alternative. Or at least it was until the last few months when he kept getting called down to the police station to get Harry Potter out of trouble. Indecent exposure and possession was one thing, but the latest charge was for murder. OR Harry and Draco find each other again after the war in Oxford, a completely non-magical city. Together they solve the mystery of the city which hates all wizards but them. (Rec Post)

Here are a few more fics I've read recently that y'all might like to check out as well!(ノﾟ∀ﾟ)ノ━☆ﾟ･*:.｡. .｡.:*･.*･｡ﾟ*:・ﾟ✧

Trade My Heart For Honey by MyNameIsThunder @thunderfiction

A witch who thinks she’s a Seer, a Seer who thinks she’s a witch, a former nemesis-turned-something-turned-acquaintance who thinks they could be friends, and a Scottish village full of Muggles who think this is as much their business as the fair folk in the woods. Draco is going to prove them all wrong. (So so good, and it's for me?!?!? ♡✧( ु•⌄• )💜💙💚💛❤💗💕💖)

Change the Ending by Anonymous for @hd-fan-fair H/D Muggle Fair 2024

When Draco gets hit by a curse that makes him essentially allergic to magic, Harry takes him in as a favour to Ron and Kingsley to teach him how to survive without it while they wait for a cure.

In the Fight for Someone's Heart, the Best Armour is Armani by Anonymous for @hd-fan-fair H/D Muggle Fair 2024

Harry is a famous actor. Draco is his stylist, who can't help but fall in love with him.

[ART & FIC] Starry, Silver Anchor by Anonymous for @hd-fan-fair H/D Muggle Fair 2024
