the dogfather by @nonasuch - a Podfic

I'm so excited for this! This may be my favorite fix-it, my favorite AU, my favorite Wolfstar! It's so sweet and funny, with snappy writing and a plot that moves (but not at the expense of feelings and character development - even from Snape!), and Sirius is a good godfather. Which is why it immediately occurred to me to record this for @goodgodfathersiriusblack fest. I'll be putting out a chapter a week this month and I hope you enjoy!

fic rec friday

the dogfather

by hollimichele on ao3 @nonasuch

“I’m not a reverse werewolf either,” says the man. “I’m your godfather.”

So this is probably the most well known fic I have ever recommended but like... it's amazing?! It's everything I've ever wanted, all my wolfstar raising Harry dreams and just the right ratio of hurt to comfort to fluff!

favourite tropes included are:

found family

Padfoot beeing the bestest dog ever

Minerva McGonagall beeing badass

sensible use of verita serum (aka no unnecessary miscommunication)

Baby Harry

Remus and Sirius are getting adopted (somewhat forcibly (affectionately))

Animagus shenanigans

good and healthy parenting

Harry receives actually useful advice from the adults in his life

Draco beeing a little shit

Wolfstar beeing healthy and happy

Fixing shit (literally and figuratively)

Hogwarts adventures

character growth!!

the golden trio beeing good friends

a magical dog (kinda)

As always, leave lots of love and kudos to the author and have an amazing rest of the week <3

(also please don't ask me why the link tonthe fic looks so strange because I couldn't tell you, stuff just be like that sometimes I guess)

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

How'd you spend your last day of 2023? For me I just read a fic about Harry Potter's dead father and Harry Potter's dead dogfather's long dead brother falling in love over and over again till 4am🧍🏻‍♀️

[mxlfoydraco]

I'd Like to know for Sirius 3, 4, 11, 12, 13 and 28 with Harry

3. Obscure headcanon

Sirius casually bites his friends to show affection. James comes to lay with him after he has a nightmare? Gentle wrist bite followed by giggles and James giving him a hair ruffle. Remus booping his nose to annoy him into waking him up? Catching that index like a flytrap. He once got too comfortable with Lily and bit her without warning and got hexed, it was worth it.

4. Favorite line

“We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.”

Literally the only sane person here. A wise king. Exactly what Harry needed to hear.

11. Faceclaim for the role

I don’t really like faceclaims, he’s an ethereal fae to me.

12. Crack headcanon

Genuinely cannot get over that one post that was like “Regulus probably doesn’t know what a cow is” because they live in the city and cows are such a muggle and working class, country side animal. So, that. Sirius at 11 doesn’t know what the hell a cow is.

13. Dumbest thing they’ve ever done

He was 11, overly confident and attached at the hip with James. Their dumbassery knew no bounds. They probably cursed themselves a bunch of times trying to learn the incantations, got stuck in places they had no business trying to get in/up/down/etc. They should be grateful they’re friends with Remus raised by Mr Lyall Paranoid Dark Creature Expert Lupin lmao.

28. How they feel about [Harry]

Listen just answering this will make me cry. Sirius loves Harry so much. He’s a part of his very own soulmate. He’s all kindness and joy. James was his protector, now Harry is Sirius’ to protect and guide, to look out for and support. He shares with Harry his inner child that was hurt and hidden in Grimmauld. He shares with him the camaderie James shared with him but also the gentleness and diligence he’s received from Effie and Monty. Just. I will cry. He adores Harry so much.

Character asks

[eastwindmlk]

I need someone to write a fic where Sirius tries to raise Harry, but James and Lily are there as ghosts. Thank you.

[hum-suffer]

I stayed up late thinking about how Harry Potter would have a nice life with Sirius and how Sirius would have been able to see Dumbledore's manipulations (please, he's a Black. He grew up with Bellatrix ffs.) And how Sirius would have done everything and anything to save Harry the pain he went through —

I'm not okay

[depressedtheatrekiddo]

I wanna feel Lady Stardust like Sirius Black does.

At this point it's just a need, like I have to steal their gender.

But then ✨ PUM ✨

I was gave Xeno Lovegood gender<3 I love it but I NEED LADY STARDUST YOU KNOW?

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Au where After his parents die, Harry potter is taken in by Remus and Sirius.

He used to be super insecure about his scar but you know who else had a lightning bolt on his face?

David fucking Bowie

And Padfoot and Moony never let him forget it.

they play and dance to all his songs every chance they get, tell him how cool he is with a built-in Bowie symbol.

Harry potter that grew up with a Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane posters in his room, thinking of dancing with his dogfather and Moomy, happy memories every time he looks at it.

We can be heroes Just for one day

[pearlynia]

Sirius "dogfather" Black

Remus "I love you more than chocolate" Lupin

James "it's a stag not a deer🤓" Potter

Regulus "I'm not gonna learn how to swim, you can't tell me what to do! *Drowns not even a year later* Black

Barty "I'm not insane 🙄" (famous last words) Crouch

Evan *DEAD silent* Rosier

[black-occamy]

I love how smug Sirius looks on this pic 🖤🖤🖤

Also, what do you mean, AU, he lives till a REALLY OLD AGE, I don't...

they deserve a happy ending

(AU where Sirius survived at OotP)

[up-to-some-good]

Jily lives prompt:

“may I ask you, fair lady, for a dance with me?”

“Hehehe.. of course, my fair sir”

Sorry this took so long to get to! Thank you for your patience. I hope you like what I've done.

2 years

24 November 1981

The living room was a mess. Sirius and Remus had been babysitting for the day, giving the Potters a day off for the first time since the end of the war. Harry was always excited to see his godfathers, and left a trail of toys he just had to show them in his wake.

Lily decided to clean it in the morning, or leave it for James to do before she woke up. For now, she was just enjoying sipping a glass of wine and listening to the distant rumble of James reading Harry to sleep.

Soon, she heard his voice stop and tracked his movements towards her by their sound: the creak of Harry's door, light steps down the stairs, a small clink as he got his own glass of wine. A record started with a wave of his wand as he sat down next to her.

"Harry asleep?" she asked.

"Barely made it through the story before he was snoring," James responded. "We should have the dogfathers over more often."

Lily laughed. "I'll cheers to that."

He bumped his glass against hers and settled further down, one arm around her shoulders.

The song changed and Lily closed her eyes, remembering their wedding reception. They'd stayed until everyone had left and James had put on this record so they could dance one last dance, even as the decorations were packed up around them.

Gently, James took her wine glass and placed it on the coffee table next to his before standing and offering her his hand.

"May I have this dance, my lady?" he said with a little bow.

She laughed, but took his hand and let him pull her up.

"Of course, my good sir."

They gently swayed around the living room, barefoot and in their pyjamas. The last time they'd done this, Lily had been in her wedding dress with flowers woven through her hair, but James didn't look at her any differently now.

As the song slowed to a stop, she reached up and cupped his face gently, pulling him in for a kiss.

"Happy Anniversary, my love," she whispered.

Year in Review - Fest podfics

Care of Magical Creatures (and sequels) by @arsenicjade for @polypodweek (E, 73k, 8 hours, Hermione x Remus x Severus)

Summary: In the aftermath of the War, Hermione finds her way.

the dogfather (and sequels) by @nonasuch for @goodgodfathersiriusblack (T, 48k, 5 hours, Remus x Sirius)

Summary: “I’m not a reverse werewolf either,” says the man. “I’m your godfather.”

Stay by vendettadays for Femslash February (T, 21k, 2 hours, Hermione x Pansy)

Summary: When Minerva said that Pansy Parkinson was to be the new Arithmancy professor at Hogwarts, Hermione thought she was joking. Then she remembered, Minerva McGonagall never joked. (Or, the progression of Hermione and Pansy’s relationship as Transfiguration and Arithmancy professors during the course of the school year.)

Higher and Higher (Temptation) by birdsofshore for @dracotops-harry (E, 28k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Only Harry Potter could manage to put on a magical collar on impulse and find himself unable to take it off again. Now following Draco’s direct orders gives him intense pleasure, and Draco has a whole heap of troubles to deal with, not least the way Potter looks when the collar has him gasping with bliss. The whole situation would test the morals of a saint... and Draco’s no saint.

Silhouettes by @sweet-s0rr0w for @dronarryfest (E, 17k, 2 hours, Draco x Harry x Ron)

Summary: Draco's trying to fix the Burrow, Ron's trying to grieve, and Harry... well, just what is Harry actually doing, anyway? A tale of grief, gardening, and ghouls, bad memories, bad puns, and bad flirting, and nudity both accidental and very, very deliberate.

An Overly Considerate Friend by @the-francakes for @regulusblackfest (M, 8k, 47 mins, James x Regulus)

Summary: “Remus help! This is your fault!” James tried again. “I didn’t tell you to snog him, Prongs!” Moony snapped back. “TRUE. Technically, you didn’t. You didn’t say 'don’t snog Regulus,' you just said not to hit on him. WHICH I DIDN’T! So maybe protect me a little here please?” James floundered for excuses. Remus debated it for a moment - hopefully that please did itself justice and saved James’ life. “Snogging most definitely falls under flirting,” Remus decided educationally. All his friends were assholes, honestly. After tonight, James was going to start hanging out with Hufflepuffs.

One Night in the House of Black by @sleepstxtic for @ladiesofhpfest (M, 9k, 1 hour, Artemisia Black x Eunon Blackwood)

Summary: When a stranger comes knocking on the doors of her House, Artemisia Black must make a choice. What happens that night will determine the fate of her family forever.

As You Wish by @pineau-noir for @lcdrarry (T, 22k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Draco was raised on a farm in the small country of Wiltshire; his favourite pastimes were flying on his broom and tormenting the hired farm boy. Though his name was Harry, Draco never called him that. On Harry's forehead there was a scar shaped like a lightning bolt, so Draco called him Scarhead. Nothing gave Draco as much pleasure as ordering Harry around Or a story about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, and miracles.

you're alive by @the-houseryn for @harrydracompreg (M, 27k, 3 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: The most boring shift in the world, filled with Muggle car ride games to pass the time, was interrupted by a tow-head boy begging for help to save his papa and ultimately changed Harry's life from there on out. For the better, of course.

Where the Heart Is by @kohakhearts (T, 16k, 2 hours, Harry & Severus)

Summary: After the events at the Department of Mysteries in June—and all that came after—Harry finds himself once again stranded at Number Four Privet Drive. With only his own thoughts to keep him company, he takes to writing letters to the only person he thinks can help, if only he were still alive to do so. As it turns out, though, sometimes help can arrive in even the most unexpected of forms too.

Masks by Inell for DCC Monthly Microcreations (E, 1.4k, 9 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Keeping secrets is tiring.

Clair de Lune by @constitutionalweasleymonarchy for @ladiesofhpfest (G, 2k, 13 mins, Luna Lovegood)

Summary: How wonderful to be seen.

Consequenses and Preparations by ChokolatteJedi for @ladiesofhpfest (T, 1.5k, 9 mins, Lucius x Narcissa)

Summary: Narcissa finds out that Lucius not only let an object the Dark Lord entrusted him with be destroyed, but he was the reason there was a basilisk in their son's school. She decides to prevent any further Draco-endangering stupidity on his part and disposes of him. Not that anybody guesses it's her, of course, she is a Slytherin. And she's going to make sure her son acts like one, too.

the residue of design by @fleurting for DCC Monthly Microcreations (E, 4k, 26 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Rita Skeeter temporarily comes out of retirement to do an exclusive interview with The Chosen One. For some reason, Draco's friends think this has something to do with him.

Fawning Over You by @toxik-angel for @hptransfest (E, 39k, 5 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Harry's not sure which would be worse: Ron and Hermione finding out he buys Draco Malfoy's premium pornography and an extra gift off his wishlist every week, or Draco Malfoy finding out Harry has a horrible, distracting, embarrassing crush on him. Alt title: Whore-ton Hears a Harry.

The Audacity of Lavender Brown by @malpal132 for @ladiesofhpfest (E, 6k, 42 mins, Charlie x Lavender)

Summary: Ron channels his anger through the blades of his skates and the hockey stick he uses on his professional team, but embarrassment isn’t an emotion he’s quite mastered. This disparity between them starts out small, then trickles into everything. For instance, he never kisses her with his tongue. Like, never. She straddles his lap and cards her fingers through his ginger hair, showing a bit of Victorian ankle every time she risks slipping her tongue past her own lips. It’s like his are vacuum-sealed shut. Instead of French sophistication, she’s more like a gerbil suckling from the sippy bottle attached to the side of its cage. She is abundant with nowhere to go.

Tempus Gratiae by @charlotterhea for @harryglots (M, 24k, 3 hours, Hermione x Severus)

Summary: Professor Snape verschwindet während Hermines 6. Schuljahr für eine Woche. Spurlos. Dann kehrt er zurück und alles ist wie vorher. Abgesehen von ein paar Details, die Hermines Neugier wecken. Aber erst sieben Jahre später fängt das Rätsel an, sich zu lösen.

The Chaperone by @annabtg for @ladiesofhpfest (T, 7k, 46 mins, James x Lily)

Summary: When Lily's father won't let her go out alone on a date with James, she has to resort to desperate measures: make it a double date with Petunia and Sirius.

Will you send me to Hogwarts? by @sleepstxtic for @ladiesofhpfest (G, 1k, 4 mins, Padma & Parvati Patil)

Summary: A letter to the Patil twins from their mother.

Tempus Gratiae (English version) by @charlotterhea for @etl-echo-audiobooks Time Collection (M, 24k, 3 hours, Hermione x Severus)

Summary: Professor Snape disappears for a week during Hermione's 6th year. Without a trace. Then he returns and everything is as before. Except for a few details that arouse Hermione's curiosity. But only seven years later the mystery begins to unravel.

A Case of You by @epitomereally for @hd-wireless (E, 97k, 12 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: Draco was doing just fine working as an Unspeakable in Paris, hanging out with his living and ghostly pals, inventing new spells, and definitely not thinking about Potter. Then, Lucius just had to break out of prison and turn his world upside down. Now, Draco has to return to England, where he is forced to confront how family ties bind us—and one infuriatingly fit Harry Potter.

Stick Shift by @stultiloquentia for @etl-echo-audiobooks Fantastic Fandoms Collection (E, 5k, 34 mins, Buffy x Spike)

Summary: Buffy stakes herself a vampire.

Still Clearly Up to the No-Good Things by @snsknene for DCC Monthly Microcreations (T, 4k, 26 mins, Draco x Harry)

Summary: “Tails,” Harry intoned to no-one in particular. “Harry,” Draco said kindly, “perhaps it is getting a bit too late for you. You are gibbering again.”

The Roommate by @romaine2424 for @hd-hurtcomfort-fest (M, 43k, 4 hours, Draco x Harry)

Summary: After one year in Azkaban, and two years of home arrest, Draco is going off to college. Myrrdin College is Oxford’s magical college, where one Harry Potter is currently attending. Both are going for their teaching certificates with Draco specialising in Potions and Harry in Defence Against the Dark Arts. The Headmistress has insisted all incoming professors must be degreed. However, the Board of Governors insist that Draco also must live in a Muggle house with limited allowance and take Muggle elective courses before he can become Hogwarts' new Potions Professor. Harry is coerced by others into helping Draco Malfoy survive in the Muggle world.

[mxlfoydraco]

hey remember when sirius tried to fight for the same for harry and they stigmatized him as “crazy” for his rightful trauma to block him :)

Have a nice day or let me ruin it: james was fighting for sirius' safety and a life without abuse and toxicity while his future son will have to deal with those things alone
