Nothing is ever gonna be better than Draco running in front of Voldemort to throw Harry his wand.

[beloved-child-of-the-house]

Harry is an orphan, so nothing has to be more important to him than his own sense of what is right. And having always had to rely on himself to get through life, he is self possessed and self directed enough to have a very strong sense of right and wrong. And he holds himself to that scrupulously. He always does what he sees as the right thing; he will not be talked out of it. There isn’t anybody he wants to make happy more than he wants to do the right thing.

For Draco, his obligations to others, his family specifically, is the sum total of his idea of the right thing to do. From his perspective, his social and even moral obligations are limited to safeguarding the wellbeing (and when possible the prestige) of his family.

People think of Draco as a bad boy, but he’s actually very conventional. He’s a dick, but his views are not at all controversial in his social circle. When Draco realizes that toeing the party line has brought him to a place where he has to face MUCH more violence than he is capable of tolerating, he has to start thinking for himself and. Well he gets his shit absolutely rocked.

He’s working his ass off trying to protect and uplift his family, but they didn’t show him the same courtesy, not in the ways that matter. Like he got seven top of the line broomsticks when he was twelve, but also. His parents brought home a mass murderer to live in their house and taught him that this was a consummation devoutly to be wished.

And once he meets Voldemort and gets put to work for him, it’s clear that Voldemort is volatile and capricious and his goodwill cannot be counted on as reliably as his explosive anger and vengefulness. And if Draco can see it now, he must think that his parents had to have seen it before.

He has to confront the fact that his parents will cheerfully witness and participate in a level of violence and destruction that he cannot countenance. He can’t be directed by them anymore. He can’t be like them anymore. So what’s his guiding star? Who can he be? What is he supposed to do with his life if not what they’ve asked of him?

There is such an interesting contrast between the two of them! Their characters are at odds in such a fun and fascinating way! After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry has discharged his most significant and pressing obligation, and it’s time for him to heal and regroup and figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life. And Draco is in the same place but arguably with an even more significant blow to his sense of self. Neither of them can go back to the way things were, but for Harry that’s a huge relief, and for Draco, it’s terrifying.

Harry is an extremely empathetic and generous person, and I think he would see himself in Draco’s rudderlessness and feel impelled to commiserate. And I think Draco would no longer have much reason to pretend that he hasn’t always found Harry incredibly magnetic, before he even knew who he was.

BEHOLD! MY ATROCITY!! 😂

It took me 3000 years to do on my phone, Gantalf! Worth every second! 🥳

Last year I created my very first abomination for the Draw Drarry Badly Challenge even though I was late, the challenge was over but I thought, "What the frack? You can never have too much badly drawn Drarry!" I took the plunge and never looked back! I create little monstrosities for all my fandoms while cackling like a demented goblin!

Thank you so much for hosting this fun challenge @julcheninred, it makes me so happy to inflict my nonsense on the fandom! 😁

I think I failed to post this sketch a little while ago when I made it whoops! Sort of a spur of the moment doodle before I had to commute to work so I think the total time spent was ~10 minutes.

Tomarry AU where Tom HATES this book he read because his favourite character dies a miserable death. So what if his favorite character was a no-named side villain? Why does it matter that he only had like seven lines (seven is Tom's favourite number anyways)? He was still gorgeous, smart and strong and beautiful — and it doesn't matter that others think he isn't all that because they would never know him— understand him like TOM DOES.

An AU where Tom has a healthy obsession with a character named Harry Potter, a no named baron's son who was the first to go against the king (MC's father, and the mc who is incidentally known as Draco Malfoy, ahem anyways); he tries to “poison” him. But he gets caught or to be more precise he ends up sacrificing himself for the common girl Hermione Granger (the female lead, I'm sorry guys but imagine the fucking drama.) who gets blamed for his transgressions.

But that is not why Tom falls for this weak villain, no — it's because he respects how this no-named orphan became a baron on his own two feet without anyone being there for him especially in a world where old money and title is everything— and he hates how he had to give his life for the MC to notice the female lead? (Harry is better looking and smarter than her anyways — Tom, in an online forum perhaps.)

Anyways, now imagine Tom dying (he hated it so yes he ends up looking for immorality anyways.) and waking up in the world he hated. Now imagine, Tom Riddle, waking up in the body of a Duke who wasn't even given a name in the novel. (He would know because he has a photographic memory, ok? It's totally not because he read it more than 14 times) and then saying fuck it and owning it.

Just think, Tom taking over the world slowly with his worldly knowledge while trying to keep Harry alive because even though he was right about Harry being smart; the guy treats his life like Draco treats his money - you get the idea.

Seamus: I don’t spit Draco: Sea we did NOT have to know that your gay ass swallows Seamus: Dean already knew Neville: *spits out pumpkin juice* Dean: Oh, so YOU spit, Nev? Seamus: Spitting is for the weak ones. Harry: *chokes on his drink* Dean: Ay, Sea, doesn’t that look familiar? *smirks* Seamus: Shut up. Dean: Make me Ron and Draco: *high-pitched shrieking* Seamus: Well if spitting is for the weak, then you’re the weakest. You don’t spit OR swallow. Draco: *cough* bottom *cough* Dean: Shut up both of you Harry: *still choking* Draco: Why is he still choking? Man doesn’t know how to spit does he?

"Narcissa your exhausted, why don't you take a nap?"

It was Regulus, but that wasn't right-

"Seriously Cissa, your exhausted, I'll take Draco for a bit and you can relax at the very least."

Then her baby cousin was coming out from behind her and taking the fussy toddler into his arms. Regulus, with an ease she never expects from the younger boy, starts bouncing and cooing at the blonde bundle in his arms.

Draco was nearly two now but was still so clingy, he would grab onto anyone he could and just hold on for hours. Normally it was just about Narcissa's favorite thing but her and Lucius have been fighting lately and she's just been so alone and-

She must doze for a while because when she wakes she sees her two favorite boys playing out in the garden. Regulus sweeps a giggling Draco up into his arms and swings him around. The youngest Black brother smiles more these days and always has a grin around his godson and Draco always smiles back at him. He sets the little boy back on his on two feet, the tot manages to stand on his own for a moment before collapsing into a pile of giggles.

Dropping to his knees Regulus blows bubbles into the squirming toddlers stomach, making a real show of it to. Draco all flying limbs and clumsy fists but still manages to escape his laughing uncles clutches and starts sprinting towards the house screaming "Mummy uncle Reggie is mean! MUMMY-"

And then Narcissa wakes up.

Draco is still screaming, Lucius is nowhere to be found, and Regulus is dead.

Werewolf Draco Malfoy, Angst, Creature Fic, Obsession, Light Stalking

Summary:

Potter smells of pure magic, and Draco is teetering on the edge of sanity

A lil snippet:

The Forbidden Forest. Stonehenge. Dragons and thestrals and the Whomping Willow.  That is what Potter smells like. Like frozen pine sap. Like heated metal. Like every phase of the moon.  And it calls to Draco — to his bones, to his blood, to his essence. The call is a million hooks pulling him apart, towards something that isn’t there — or is there, sometimes, when Draco is subjected to existing in the same space as Potter. The scent of him is almost corporeal, then, as it always is on the mornings after a full moon.

It’s kinda awkward having a problematic alter (fictive)

Sometimes it’s only problematic in some circles? Like having an MHA alter. You kinda have to explain you aren’t from ‘that’ side of the fandom

Then there’s the ‘vastly popular media with a crappy creator’, current or old. People are gonna be mad at hazbin hotel alters and they’re also gonna be mad at Harry Potter alters

Sometimes they just have you know, inconspicuous enough names. Or they change their names to separate from their source. Our Alastor (conversational protector) you wouldn’t know it was him unless we told you. Deku and bakugou chose to be called clover and kat, and other than being cringe (they’re teenagers) aren’t really like source.

BUT DRACO MALFOY. he’s not proud of Rowling, and has explicitly stated many times he prefers the fan fictions to the original fiction because they’re ’far more accurate and in depth’ but also he’s a wizard and he’s a slytherin. Also would hex any sort of bigot on sight, but ITS SO AWKWARD TO EXPLAIN.

‘Hi, this is Draco. Yes he’s the weird rival from the problematic wizard series. We formed him when we were 8. And didn’t even know twitter existed. He was just relatable to us. And he told us how to say the right things. He’s still around. He’s still one of our most functional alters. But he’s also Draco malfoy. Even we don’t know how to feel about that.’

After more than a decade away, I rediscovered one of my foundational ships recently. You all certainly know how to angst and toy with my emotions, I'll give you that.

[spiffy-sea-dragon]

ATTENTION DRINNY FANS

I’m really, really depressed and going through the worst break-up. I need good rom-com movie and book reccs. As fellow Drinny shippers I trust your taste, please help me out.

I’m open to a lot. Bonus points if it’s enemies to lovers. If you’d recc the movie Holidate then you’re the person I’m looking for.

@sevhalfbloodp4 continue from here

Severus's dark eyes flicked over the boy, and he could not help the smirk which curled at the corners of his lips. Draco may have fooled everyone else, especially Potter, hell, even himself, but Severus had a gift for seeing through people, and he was not fooled, not even in the slightest, no matter how hard his god son attempted to protest.

"You...are at your wits end..." he said, in a slow drawl. "I beg of of you, to let me assist you...do you have any idea how far I've gone to ensure your safety? I have taken...the unbreakable...vow.."

You are at your wits ends. Alright, this was exactly the sentence he emotionally, mentally, physically KNEW exactly, inside every degree of his soul, than he didn't wanted to hear, especially not from Snape. There always had been consciousness he had been carefully watched by his eyes, which could be deeply problematic concerning his little meddling business … What if, within their double act together, in their separate and different union to protect Potter, he considered that he was going a little too far on the traitor's plank ? Well, actually, he was an traitor --- but it wasn't an knoweldge he wanted concerned villains to know. For one second, as remembrance it concerned Snape and not someone else, he forced himself, deeply within desire of immediate answer of his features, to bring frontal dark glance. I beg of you, to let me assist you. That would have been perfect if Potter wasn't the one insisting within the world of shadows to do the exact same thing, in which he pulled illusions further and rejected what necessery help he needed … ❝  I need to ensure your safety too, just in case you forget. ❞  Immediate bounce back enjoyed that sentence as good manner to an slight discreation. He didn't wanted someone else to be sacrified than him, and nothing could save him than taking somehow, somewhere the responsability about how he was condamned in long term to death … ❝  I just have trouble sleeping, it's not a big deal, really, I'm very, very fine. ❞  He attempted in a rough way.
