So how many of my drinny mutuals are reading this masterpiece??

I literally cannot recommend this fic enough! It’s a masterpiece. The author is updating it regularly and the slow burn is truly off the charts. Chemistry is oozing!

To top it all off the world building is insane! It’s set in a universe where Harry doesn’t exist, or at least there was no chosen one to stop Voldemort and Voldemort has already died after creating a world based on blood purity.

The descendants of 13 “Sacred” pure blood families who originally helped Voldemort in gain power are running the world. Draco is obviously the top 1 % and Ginny’s the descendant of Blood Traitors.

If you all get a chance please read it! There’s resistance too, in the form of Order but they’re mostly secretly operating. I don’t think I am doing justice to how engaging this fic is. Please read the fic rather than reading my inadequate attempts at explaining this masterpiece!

Surprise! Here's chapter 9 of Through a Long and Sleepless Night!

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Ginny Weasley

Rating: T for language and innuendo

Summary: He chanced upon it much like the others did. By simply wandering about the streets of Dublin; somewhat safe from the bloody awful mess he created back home. A portal that led to a place where every dream became reality. As if that wasn't strange enough, why was Ginny Weasley the only person he could interact with during these dreams?

Chapter Snippet: He took a step forward to make his way to the front door when a side door burst open, allowing for what sounded like a herd of wild animals to stampede through.

He heard an almost shrill, high-pitched giggle emanate from the front of the pack and that’s when he saw her.

She was tiny, not quite the lanky girl he was used to seeing, but it was unmistakably her. She confidently strode in front of the pack, wiping away stray hairs that wouldn’t stay locked into her messy ponytail. She already had scuffs on her knees and he thought he saw a missing tooth on her top row, but there was no mistaking the crimson locks glowing in the afternoon sunlight.

I loved this artwork so much, I wrote a drabble for it!!!

Draco wasn’t sure how he’d seen her from such a distance. Flying high above the stands of Hogwarts’ Quidditch pitch, he had the best view of the grounds, the castle, the lake, and the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The sun was starting to set, casting a rich honey glow over the landscape. The light must have been angled just right because a glint of gold drew his attention to Ginny Weasley’s hair as she snuck into the forest alone.

Nothing about her movements were particularly sneaky as far as he could tell, but students were, well, forbidden to enter the forest unattended.

Draco abandoned his solo flight to follow her. He landed on the ground just outside of Hagrid’s—what was a polite way to say this—rustic abode. His broom would probably be safe in the groundskeeper’s care; it wasn’t like Hagrid could ride it anyway. So Draco stashed his broom outside the patch of pumpkins that would soon be turned into Jack-o-lanterns and pumpkin pasties and pumpkin juice for the Halloween feast.

He hurried into the line of trees and hoped he would pick up Weasley’s trail easily. That setting sunlight filtered through the leaves, hitting the ground like spotlights with tiny bugs and floating dust particles lit up by the glow. The sun worked in Draco’s favor because he saw a glimpse of the iconic Weasley red hair glinting in the light from between the trunks.

He followed while trying to keep his footsteps light, his breathing even, so as not to alert her to her stalker. When she sped up, so did he; when she stopped to observe a shrub, he hid behind a tree. This went on for so long, it was a wonder it hadn’t grown dark yet. After a while, Draco started to suspect she was leading him in circles.

As soon as he thought it, he lost her, as if she’d silently, impossibly, Apparated out of the Forbidden Forest.

Draco’s heart was pounding in his chest from the excitement of the chase, and now it pounded with dread from being left alone in the forest. He spun in a circle, looking for the way out or a path of some sort and hoped a centaur—or something worse—didn’t find him first.

Of course, this is when the sunlight began to wane, the spotlights of sunbeams growing smaller.

When the tension began to sizzle under his skin, prickling the back of his neck, he was tackled from behind by a red headed witch with a glinting laugh.

Draco tugged her off him, keeping her restrained with a tight grip on her upper arms. She was remorseless, laughing at the clear fear in his eyes with that irresistible sparkle in hers.

“Gotcha,” she said with a self-satisfied smirk she had learned from him.

Draco was afraid his heart would give out, but his relief at her presence kept the muscle beating in his chest.

“What are you doing out here?” he asked. His relief was starting to turn into anger. His jaws and his grip on her both tightened.

“Luring you into the forest. What else?”

"For what purpose?"

But from the look in her eye, he already knew. His suspicion was only confirmed when she said, "This," in a low voice and used his grasp on her arms to tug him closer.

Their lips touched, and Draco let go of her immediately, only to wrap his arms around her body, keeping her close, keeping her warm. The growing darkness hid them from prying eyes. There was no more perfect place for forbidden love to meet than in the Forbidden Forest.

Draco felt her smile against his mouth, so he kissed her until she was too breathless for smiles. When she finally pulled away, he rested his forehead on hers and breathed in tandem.

The sunlight was perfect and so was she. That glint he so loved danced in her eyes as the honeyed light faded, illuminating their secrets, but only for one more moment.

They do here 😏

draco and ginny should fuck nasty.

[irrealisms]

tall trees bend and lean liner notes

fic here if you haven't read it!

title is from Kingdom Come by the Civil Wars. for a long time this was the primary canonical di!will song to me... i think this is no longer true but it was true for a long time. post-wardens i never really felt safe, i was always running. the contrast also of where you will still be all alone with i'll be waiting here for you... yeah

i recommended this as a good starting point but i'm realizing now it might not be.....it kind of assumes knowledge of some Major Events (e.g. seventeen wardens)......sorry.......if you have passing familiarity w divorcesteal/my character it should be good though and u can always ask me stuff ^_^

i spent. SO much of divorcesteal sick and/or injured. and-- i do not consider myself physically disabled IRL but there is a sense in which di!will is? like IRL the severity of it is temporary but .... so's the minecraft server, right, it ended while i was injured. and even before then, i do in fact have scoliosis such that my computer time is nonzero limited by it and pushing myself too hard will hurt my back, i've got motor skills issues that don't affect me much day to day but make me worse at video games than average... so much of my arc was balancing "irl physical pain that pushing myself Worsened" with "i have things i want to do that bring me joy and that are important and have deadlines", or struggling w "i need to do things to Make Up for the things i'm bad at". which is. a disability mood. and ofc i am psychiatrically disabled both IC and OOC... i think one of the reasons blue's jab abt me dropping out of school hit so much is bc. like. i failed out for disability reasons. like it was also hitting on the boredom thing which was absolutely smth i was struggling w at the time dmgw! but idk, i didn't actually realize how much this fic was Disability Themes until it was written and then it was like Oh this is about disability.

i've mentioned this before but. when i talk about the warden nightmares in the fic. those were real. i had nightmares in real life about this. and then chips betrayed and i instead had a nightmare abt that LOL... this wasn't constant or anything but probably like once a month i would have a divorcesteal nightmare. minecraft roleplay does sick shit to the human mind

the fact that i wrote "The thing she can’t imagine is prefacing a confession with please don’t be mad, please don’t hurt me, please don’t abandon me. She can imagine what she would say instead: I understand if you’re mad, if you want to hurt me, if you want to leave me. I’m sorry I keep getting you hurt. I’m sorry for being worse than useless. [...] She remembers the blunt force impact of Chips’s hammer going through her skull and tries to let it comfort her. The memory feels right, feels just." like over a month before chips betrayed me is crazy.... i was so correct about how i would react tbh. someone betrays me and im like Yeah that's fair i get it. you can kill me and leave me if you want. Sorry

there are some crazy moments in here actually that are related to me writing it at the time..... i comment that chips would Never kill me, or that evi4 and betty are teammates in every way that matters, and . ummmmmmmmm . that aged!

smth this fic revealed is that i DID consider betraying for pathogen a couple times and most of why i didnt was just like, i just didnt know them that well..... tbh there was a stretch of time where literally any team could have basically stolen me if they had made a point of reaching out and including me. but the team that ended up in fact doing that was sunset SHOUTOUT SUNSET i love u guys!!!

seri already knows basically everything in this fic LOL shoutout serapy

smth that's been kind of fun Throughout divorcesteal is that like....a lot of my insecurities will Start ooc. and then i deliberately make a mental move to Make them part of my character & character arc. and then i'm actually much less ooc insecure bc instead i'm looking at it as part of my character and her story? it's neat

also rereading this fic is interesting bc i was in such different mental places when i wrote parts of this? "chips and jay might be quitting" had such a huge mental impact on me and then neither of them ended up quitting and it's easy for me now to sort of forget how impactful that was compared to the things that did end up happening. or like i still very much remember that "i only joined thousand suns bc i thought chips was quitting" was a Thing but the feeling of "it feels like everyone is quitting the server and i'm left alone here refusing to quit even though i have nothing to do and i'm scared that if i try to do things i'll just drive people away even more" was something i kind of forgot about. but bc i wrote this it is preserved like amber....

i feel like this fic is too nice to me in places tbh..... i have an idea for a scene in my next fic that should balance it out though, where chips and i FINALLY are able to log on at the same time and it's like less than an hour after i've talked to betty and i am thinking the whole time "i should . tell chips about things" and then i DON'T and instead i in fact leak one of the things chips did to thousand suns, without asking chips, bc i was afraid that they would find out and change their minds about wanting me. i was not solely an ~innocent sadboy here lol it's just that by nature of being mostly 2am ventfic it's about Times I Was Soooooo Sad :(

something i've been thinking abt is like. even in other improv e.g. TTRPGs you don't normally get this sort of conflict? like you get "ooc conflict over scheduling and unavailability" a lot but "a player's unavailability or two players having conflicting schedules is now something that is an ic conflict between them" is much less common than in mcrp. in mcrp if someone can't log on, or if two ppl have schedules without much overlap, that's-- something that often exists in-story & matters to the characters. i wasn't originally planning on confronting them about it IC but i ended up doing so bc...it's part of my character? it can't not be, due to how the medium works. it's like how when i overheard them i couldn't just-- go "whoops blooper" and move on and pretend i didn't hear them. it was real & it happened & it impacted the world. if one person doesn't log on the world continues without them & there isn't enough ooc/ic divide for more traditional resolutions to that? what happened "ooc" just.... happened. one of the coolest things about mcrp to me

smth i want to be clear abt is. a lot of this fic is abt being alone but by the end of divorcesteal i felt the least alone i've felt in a long time. ultimately i DID talk to a lot of people & made so many friends. the fear was OOC incredibly fun and motivating for me. back still hurts though :(

these feel like worse liner notes than my usual ones even though theyre just as long, i think most of this is either stuff already in the fic or stuff i've already talked about elsewhere. sorry about that i thought i had more new things to say than i did. OH WELL POSTING ANYWAY

EDIT: another thing that's interesting to me when writing any divorcesteal fic is the .... amount that i am going "okay i want to Show my thought process and character to fans and participants who don't know me well". like i'm not adding things that aren't in the original i'm trying to . share the original w people? since obviously i didn't stream & some of this you get from chips and betty streams/recordings but (a) a lot of people didn't watch all of those (b) a lot of ppl weren't allowed to watch all of those. and some of it was just not in anyone's pov!! bc i didn't stream!!! but i care abt di!will and i want other ppl to . care too, i guess. understand her.

[idreamofdraco]

I have a job interview on Friday, so here's a collection of all my coworker or job/work-related Draco/Ginny fics. :)

[strangeauthor]

not so much a defense as it is a clarification: it's based on the little girl's favorite food pre-war. it's still a horrible idea dmgw

kinda reminds me of cutesy chibi art of godzilla who's meant to be roughly based on america nuking japanese civilians

isnt marketing great

[idreamofdraco]

Anyone recognize this fic?

Does anyone know the fanfic where Draco is an auror and has to go undercover at a sexclub, I can’t remember if Ginny was also a auror or not but was with him?
