Narcissa: Draco just gave me his Christmas list for this year
Lucius: Of course, he’s twenty and he still has a Christmas list. What is it?
Narcissa: He wants two new brooms. Five new robes. Another pair of shoes. And Potter
Lucius: Potter? As in Harry Potter?
Narcissa: Yes, he said here he wants “Oiled up Harry Potter, wrapped in bowties and put in a Christmas box as a surprise”
Lucius: Is he absolutely serious?
Narcissa: Yes, so when are you doing it?
Lucius: …
Lucius: All right, I can do the bowtie and the box and the kidnapping for Christmas, but I’m not oiling him up

first lines
List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have fewer than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag some people to take part.
Thank you for the tags @softlystarstruck @kbrick @cavendishbutterfly @theonlywolfpants @onbeinganangel - I loved reading all yours so very much. I've decided to just go with the standalone fics (not drabble or microfic collections) that I have on ao3, plus a few of my WIPs 👀
Completed fics
1. Keep Me Here (7.9k, Teddy/Draco/Harry)
When I come back from France, Harry picks me up.
2. Sweet Things (2.1k, fem!Drarry)
The baking was an accident, at first.
3. Twenty Years (2.3k, Drarry, Wolfstar)
'James told me what happened.'
4. Crawl Back Into Your Open Arms (5.6k, Drarry)
The first time Draco sees him after the war, Potter has just broken someone’s nose.
5. A Melody of You & Me (64k, Drarry)
Draco doesn’t get angry much, anymore.
6. The Malfoy Manor Christmas Extravaganza Vendor Manual (1.6k, Drarry)
Some things never change.
7. The Dog and the Drunk Slytherin (1.8k, Drarry)
‘Harry has wanted a dog for a really long time,’ Cormac explained in his nasally, horrible little voice.
8. Homebound (1.8k, Drarry)
The rocks here are orange.
9. a tolerance for pain (<1k, Drarry)
Dear Harry,
It’s a bad pain day today.
10. a capacity for love (1k, Drarry)
Harry was on a mission.
11. like the sun came out (3k, Drarry)
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the moment Harry realised Draco loved him.
12. Seasick (3.7k, Drarry)
Draco spotted a perfect shell not too far from the water.
13. Career Day (1.1k, Drarry)
Albus Potter really just wanted two things: that new edition of Hogwarts: A History that Rose had been taunting him with all summer, and for his father to stop being so weird about the Career Day next week at Godric’s Hollow Primary School.
14. you are good (1k, Wolfstar)
It was all far too loud, was the problem.
15. Sourdough (17k, Drarry)
The scent of freshly baked bread settled across Draco’s apartment on a Thursday afternoon.
WIPs
16. Better Kinds of Love (Drarry)
Draco did not take much when he left his husband.
17. Next Winter (Wolfstarbucks)
Sirius went missing in the autumn of 1928.
18. A Pretty Boy Song (Drarry)
Twenty eight looks good on Harry Potter.
19. original short story maybe idk
Meabh was long gone by the time I returned home.
20. aaaaaaand....novel. The Novel.
It was only when Ronan was balancing the red velvet cupcakes on sixty-two Hamlet essays, helium balloons tied around his waist, searching for his keys in the pouring rain, that he realised he may not have planned this out as well as he should have.
Jesus Christ alright - I love how my thing is a short, snappy first line, but in the work I would like to actually put my name to, it's run-on chaos (much like Ronan himself. bless). I think my favourite is Crawl Back Into Your Open Arms - it's probably the best in terms of setting up the story, and setting the tone.
I'd like to no-pressure tag whoever is reading this! Please tag me if you do share <333

My Favorite Fics 2020
Alrighty. I read a decent amount of fanfiction this year (mostly thanks to Wizards Hearts/Game of Drarry), and I’m here to list out some of my very favorites. Thank you to all of the creators out there who put so much time, effort, and energy into creating beautiful stories, and here’s to lots of reading in the new year 💜 also, this is in no particular order and all rec notes are from my personal fic tracker spreadsheet (if anyone wants details on how I set up my spreadsheet, etc. please feel free to send an ask!) 💕
1) Change on the Horizon by Static_abyss / @static-abyss [Explicit, 118.6k,]
When things settle down after the war, Harry has trouble figuring out who he’s supposed to be and what’s expected of him. At the same time, Draco finds himself having to decide between what his parents want and what he wants for himself. Together, Harry and Draco embark on a journey to figure out who they are as individuals and what that means for their future together.
A canon AU drarry fic based on the relationship between Mickey and Ian from Shameless.
Hands down one of the best fics I've ever read. Ana did the most amazing job at translating Micky and Ian's relationship to Harry and Draco, although it’s definitely not necessary to know Shameless in order to enjoy the story. The writing is stunning, and I loved every single bit of this
2) I’ll Play Your Game by JayseHasNoGrace [Mature, 52.2k]
After quitting the Auror department at the ripe old age of twenty two, Harry Potter finds a nice, uneventful job in an apothecary. At least, it's uneventful until his old rival Draco Malfoy comes into the shop.
They strike up an unlikely friendship, which evolves into an increasingly convoluted scheme, which then snowballs spectacularly out of control into a tangle of lies and blurred lines.
They'd agreed to a fake relationship — in Harry's case, to get the wizarding world to take him off his 'perfect saviour' pedestal, and in Draco's case, just to be given a chance in wizarding society at all — but neither of them expected just how difficult that might really turn out to be. Especially when the stakes grow ever higher, and they both start falling for each other. Just a little bit.
FAKE DATING!!! Ugh, this was so good. I love the media aspect of it, and the way that everything comes together is just brilliant. A must-read for anyone who loves fake dating!!
3) I Can be Your Lighthouse by orpheous87 / @orpheous87 [Teen, 4k]
When Harry gets called to investigate reports of Dark magic, the last thing he expects to find is an almost unconscious Draco Malfoy. After multiple instances, he resolves to find out what's going on.
inspired by the song The Lighthouse by The Used.
So, so sweet. I love Harry's determination to figure out what's going on. This is such a lovely fic, and I enjoyed every minute of it
4) Freedom to be by Quicksilvermaid / @quicksilvermaid [Explicit, 169.5k]
Harry Potter is the Boy Who Lived.
12 years after the war, he's become the Boy Who Lived For Everyone Else. He has the perfect wife. The perfect house. The perfect job. The perfect friends.
Only nothing feels perfect.
Until one day he stumbles across a club called Release and begins a journey of self-discovery that takes him to a very different place.
This left such an impact on me, and it’s a fic I think about often. I can't even begin to explain how incredible everything about this is.
5) Dear Diary by AWickedMemory (TeddyLaCroix) [Teen, 20.4k]
// This can’t possibly go worse than the last time I kept a diary. //
After the war, Harry picks up a journal to write in… and it writes back. Luckily, it’s not a Horcrux on the other end this time.
Absolutely amazing. The relationship that develops between Harry and Draco as they write to each other was so soft and wonderful, and I would easily read 100k of this!
6) Grounds for Divorce by Tepre [Explicit, 122.2k]
Malfoy finds a coin. Harry finds a letter.
A story about histories, a story about families. A story about a lemon tree somewhere in Upper Egypt.
I loved this. It was so angsty at times, but well worth it. An absolute classic that I’m so pleased to be able to say I’ve read.
7) Nero Su Bianco by Zuzallove [Explicit, 40.5k]
September 1997. Hogwarts is under the regime of Voldemort and the Carrows. Finding himself alienated by both his friends and his supposed enemies, Draco puts quill to parchment, and writes letters. He addresses them to the only person he can think of, as Hogwarts rapidly falls into chaos and ruin: Harry Potter. He goes to great lengths to ensure the letters are never discovered, and he’s pretty certain he’s done a great job.
Until the day of his trial.
The letters were so much fun to read, even though they were heartbreaking at times. I loved Draco’s characterization in this, as well as how his relationship develops with Harry.
8) Thunder by Keyflight790 [Explicit, 21.5k]
The storm will disappear; the rain will subside; but what's left in its wake will last forever. A story of love and loss, redemption and thunder
I really loved how well Draco's addiction was written. I'm not a huge fan of past relationships, but this was done in such a beautiful way. Plus, talking to dragons!!!
9) dirtynumbangelboy by magpie_fngrl [Explicit, 39.4k]
After Harry’s unfortunate encounter with his ex, Draco Malfoy makes him a proposition. Draco wants his parents to stop matchmaking him and Harry wants to make his ex jealous. All they need to do is simply pretend they’re in love. Problem is… Draco already is.
Amazing. This has absolutely sucked me into the world of fake dating. I could ramble about this forever, to be honest. Simply incredible, and I love how snarky their relationship was. It was the epitome of a good Drarry fic.
10) just tell me when it’s alright by M0stlyVoid / @bonesliketambourines [Explicit, 23k]
Harry’s been fighting tooth and nail for any bit of normalcy he can get his hands on. He’s sick of feeling like something’s wrong with him, tired of feeling different. He thinks he’s finally gotten to the root of it, and has settled into a routine that makes him happy. Naturally, that’s when Draco Malfoy walks back into his life and upends it once again. Has Harry bitten off more than he can chew with his former rival?
YES!! I genuinely loved Harry’s clinginess. This fic was absolutely amazing, and the secret dating was lovely. Plus, bi awakening!!
11) When Hippogriffs and Pygmy Puffs Collide by oldenuf2nb [Mature, 32.7k]
Harry Potter bakes cakes, brilliantly. Draco Malfoy inks tattoos, brilliantly. Owls deliver post, including messages from clients, with an occasional lack of brilliance.
I was really surprised at how much I loved this, especially since I’ve not really read many fics with odd jobs. I absolutely adored the fact that Harry was a baker and Draco was a tattoo artist, and the characterizations were absolute perfection
12) You Send Me (Honest You Do) by firethesound [Explicit, 37k]
As far as potion accidents go in general, and deaging incidents go in particular, Draco knew this could have been so much worse. Harry only lost about ten years, and all his memories are still intact. But the sight of him looking as if he’s stepped straight out of Draco’s Hogwarts memories has dredged up a whole mess of complicated feelings Draco thought he’d buried years ago, and Draco really doesn’t know what to do with any of it.
I absolutely adored this, and I thought the de-aging aspect was done is such a tasteful way. Such a good read.
13) Highly (in)Compatible by daisymondays [Teen, 36.8k]
Draco’s been shagging The Prat Who Lived on and off for a few months when his soul mark starts to change. Draco’s had to accept a lot of adjustments to his life, but accepting that Harry Potter could be his soulmate is one step too far. It can’t be true? Can it?
I LOVED THIS! Oh man, that ending! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant
14) Kiss the Joy (Until the Sun Rise) by ICMezzo [Mature, 37.8k]
The Room of Requirement was severely damaged in the war, but not so much that it could not provide for one lost student and another young hero—especially when they needed each other most of all.
An amazing, beautiful, tender fic! The ROR has given them the gift of each other, and I honestly love that it's just the two of them and no other characters. An incredible and soft read
15) December Never Felt So Wrong by MaesterChill / @maesterchill [Explicit, 50k]
'Twas the month before Christmas and sixteen year old Draco Malfoy had never felt worse. His attempts to kill Dumbledore were failing and, as usual, Harry Fucking Potter was a constant thorn in his side.
All that suddenly changed when Draco woke up 15 years in the future and discovered that not only was he allegedly shagging Harry Fucking Potter, he also had thinning hair and a five year old son, and no fucking clue how he got there.
Truly brilliant, and I was laughing from the start. The combination of the aging up, Harry’s off-tune singing to Muggle songs, and soft parenthood were all things I immediately fell in love with. Will be reading again and again
16) Catch Me If I Fall by keeli_marie [Explicit, 38.2k]
When Draco Malfoy collides with Harry Potter one morning while dropping the kids off at school, things don’t go quite the way either of them would have expected.
Another absolute gem, and I'm still reeling from how amazing it was. I'm always a bit hesitant with kid fics, but this is one of the best depictions of love between Harry and Draco that I've read. I love how supportive Astoria is. Such a lovely fic
16) Love Found by Peachpety / @peachpety [Explicit, 7.5k]
During Harry’s sixth year, Draco Malfoy joins the Order as a double-agent and continues with his task to get the Death Eaters into the castle as assigned by Voldemort. Draco succeeds with his mission the evening Harry returns from the caves with Dumbledore. The boys reunite on the Astronomy Tower and, with the Death Eater’s arrival, are forced to engage in a fight, driving Harry to come to terms with his feelings about true friendship and romantic love.
SUCH a good rewrite of the astronomy tower scene. I can’t describe how much I love the pre-existing relationship, which is a trope I typically steer clear from. And the snark!!! Such a good fucking fic
17) Taro Milk Tea with a side of Depression by Veelawings / @veelawings [Mature, 1k]
Draco sat through twenty grievous minutes of Ministry-mandated group therapy for Newly Registered Magical Beings & Creatures — then promptly stormed out.
Okay, I loved this. The play format was so cool and fit the narration so well. Absolute perfection and SO. GOOD.
18) The Dragon At The Bottom Of The Garden by Zopno [Explicit, 52.3k]
At 25 Harry Potter's life was simple; he flew, sculpted, and had the vault in the back of his mind to keep all unpleasant business. It was stable, but when Draco Malfoy literally hit him with a giant rock; all that changed.
I loved the storyline, especially Animagus bird Harry!! This was such a unique take on an Animagus and post-war fic, and I loved reading it so much
19) Exposure by GallaPlacidia [Mature, 26.9k]
When Seamus uncovers Draco Malfoy's camboy profile, he, Harry and Ron decide to anonymously book a private show so as to humiliate him later. Fascinated by Draco's confidence, Harry keeps booking private shows under the disguise...
Self prompt: Draco is a camboy. Harry betrays him.
I can't give this enough praise. The hurt of it all was so brilliant. A new favorite for sure
20) you've got the antidote for me by Kandakicksass [Mature, 20.7k]
When Harry Potter unintentionally severs their soulbond before it can fully form, Draco Malfoy resigns himself to a slow death and decides not to burden Harry with a soulmate he's made it very clear he doesn't want.
He's never been selfless before, but for Harry, he can try.
Fuck. Like...fuck. This was so sad and angsty and perfect in all the right ways. Watching everything unfold was so painful but so worth it. Another new favorite
21) A Room Up There (And You In It) by thestarryknight [Teen, 59.2k]
When Preservationist Draco Malfoy was assigned to work on Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, he was excited to delve into the gorgeous Black family antiques. His excitement quickly ended when something in the House decided it did not like his presence one bit. Featuring a grumpy antiques lover who most certainly did not sign up for this, encounters with a vengeful apparition, and a healthy application of Christmas spirit.
Absolutely fucking fantastic. This fic reads intimacy all over, despite there being no sex. I love preservationist Draco and the way in which information about Harry unfolds. I can’t say enough how much I loved this advent fic, and Starry did such a great job
And now for three fics that I have yet to read/need to emotionally prepare myself for:
1) Modern Love by Tackytiger / @tackytigerfic [Explicit, 61.2k]
Harry Potter, of all people, knows that life isn’t always fair. And no one gets to be happy all of the time. But surely there’s something more—something better—than a rubbish Ministry job, and a lonely old house, and that feeling that everyone out there is doing a better job of living than Harry is.
And it really doesn’t seem fair that Draco Malfoy is back in Harry’s life, all of a sudden, and even though he’s wandless, and living with Muggles, and making his mother cry with his lifestyle choices, he’s happy. So what's he doing right, that Harry isn’t?
Because things don’t really change, do they? And if Harry can’t be happy, he’ll settle for a good night’s sleep, some posh antiques, and the opportunity to find out what Malfoy has been up to for all these years.
And that’s what starts it all.
2) Dragons Don't Know Paradise by tainara_black / @teacup-tai [Explicit, 50.9k]
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)
3) Aeternus Solem by onbeinganangel / @onbeinganangel [Explicit, 36.9k]
On December 1st, Harry Potter gets sent halfway across the world to attempt to break a possibly fatal curse on an unnamed British Unspeakable — except said Unspeakable is not unnamed at all and Harry has been in love with him for over four years.
{If anyone spots any mistakes in this list, PLEASE let me know! I hope you all have a lovely New Year’s, and may 2021 be less of a dumpster on fire than its predecessor 💜}

First line game
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20 stories, just list them all). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors. If you’re seeing this, YOU are tagged!
I was tagged by the lovelies @the-starryknight and @tackytigerfic and while I’m very flattered that they thought my recs somehow deserved to feature on this mighty thread, I could not pass the opportunity to celebrate these works some more, so I cheated a little bit and decided to make it about the quotes I chose to illustrate my last 20 recs. Hope that’s okay :)
As for my favorite opening line from one of my own recs, I gotta go with “Haters will say I gave this fic the big spot because it was written for my birthday... and they would be right”. This was written for Tacky’s Collapsed in Love, that I recced on Valentine’s Day ❤️
1) The Snitch-Maker by Omi_Ohmy:
He understood then that he’d thought of Potter as hero for years. An ache twisted through him, and he wasn’t sure it was for himself, or Potter. Or maybe for everyone who’d lived through those awful years.
2) Unfinished Business by cupiscent:
He'd looked up with those haunted eyes, and Draco had almost faltered in that moment, even after he'd thought himself resolved. He'd known that Potter. Mocked him, challenged him, hated him - but known him. This icon on stage was a stranger.
3) Like Gold by @the-sinking-ship:
Draco grinned so wide his cheeks ached and he practically ran the rest of the way. He snagged the matching black helmet off the seat and jammed it over his head, as he’d done a hundred times before.
4) Absurd by Blowfish_Diaries:
“I’d do anything for you, Harry.” I used to hate how easily he drew these sorts of blunt, honest confessions from me, but I’ve made my peace with it.
5) On the Balcony by @firethesound:
“I’m trying to be romantic.”
“You’re trying to get your hand on my cock.”
“Is there a difference?” Draco asked. He ate another bite of custard, practically fellating his spoon in the process.
6) A Hyperactive Fruit, a Nasty Neighbour and a Love Story by synonym4life:
A top that looked as if a homeless person had worn it, threw it away (because even homeless people had standards), and then another homeless person took the rag from a bin for his dog to lie on, threw it away as well (because even dogs had standards), and only then did Potter pick it out from the trash and decided it was as good a garment as any to wear to the Ministry.
7) Collapsed in Love by @tackytigerfic:
He worries about Teddy all the time, especially since he started school, and Teddy, who’s been loved all his life and is confident that he always will be, has no compunction about being a little shit to the people who care about him. And Harry cares about him the most.
8) Our Ordinary Days by Lomonaaeren:
And the greater life, the greater spirit, running through his body as though through his veins? Draco liked to think that came from all of them, Harry and himself and Teddy and even the Weasleys.
9) Student Digs by Lokifan:
He gave me a sharp look and I felt myself wither. Not because of Harry’s expression, exactly; but because I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years putting up with things because I was helpless to change them.
10) Misguided at Best by agentmoppet:
“What was that?” Draco asks, because he's a bastard, and because it's his role to give Potter what he wants, and Potter wants to beg.
11) A Charitable Christmas by Alisanne:
Throwing his head back, Malfoy laughed. “So,” he said once he’d sobered, “it seems we both have stories to either prove or debunk.” Draining his glass once more, he stood up. “Well? Shall we?”
12) Exiled by A_factorygirl_69:
"I miss England," Draco said, crossing his arms and stubbornly staring out the glass. "Doesn't usually rain here. Not like it does at home—England, I mean." Draco said 'England' much louder the second time, trying to cover up the word he said before it.
13) Cold Like Fire by @queenofthyme:
“Auror Potter” Draco said - how Harry hated being called that - “I’m not about to tuck serviettes down my shirt and eat with my hands just because it suits some absurd purpose of yours.”
14) Day Shift on Diagon by @prolix-:
Draco comes to realise that he had fallen for a caricature of the man. As a barista, Harry was uncomplicated, quiet and unfailingly kind. Faultless but flat. It's a joy, learning just how complicated the man really is.
15) The Art of Seduction by playout:
If letting Draco take him to the dance floor had been a Very Bad Idea, Harry fisting his hands in Draco's shirt hard enough to tear it in two and snogging him with the ferocity of several years' worth of pent up sexual frustration and chronic vexation was a colossally bad one.
16) Autumn Drarry Drabbles by @peachpety: this is actually a collection I recced on a collab with @thedrarrylibrarian, but if I had to choose only 1 (one) quote it would be this one from her drabble #12 - Manor House No.7:
Draco holds his gaze, absorbing the sunshine smell of him, like happiness and contentment. The terrifying pull in his gut takes hold, opposing magnetic poles attracting, urging him to reach out and capture him, to click perfectly into place. The moment expands, a pause at the end of an exhale, lungs empty and still.
17) Of toenail clippings and designer underwear by @andithiel:
“I just… I like your hair a little messier,” he added quietly, as he shrank into his book, unable to help himself.
18) Big Hands by @fw00shy:
Draco thought about those colossal hands delicately making their way through his piece, and wanted with such an intensity that he nearly collapsed over the piano bench.
19) Voices from the Fog by @noeeon:
“How are you going to find out what either of us wants if you don’t stay?”
20) Special Edition by Leela:
Years of hard work to restore the Malfoy name and he'd tossed it away for what? His stomach began to roil as another memory swam into focus, of him kissing Potter, of Potter kissing him. His hand shook, spilling lukewarm coffee over his skin.

First line tag game + origami fic recs
Thank you for the tag @vukovich, @elvenwinters and @thejadewritergirl ! I'm sorry this is so late, I was super busy 😅 (in other news, I've achieved 3 major things that I'm so relieved about) Since I don't write fanfic, I figured I'd do origami based on fics. Featuring first lines and quotes I like from 4 of the fics I've recently read that got me through this crazy time + 3 from 1 fic each of the lovely people who tagged me.
Here's the actual rules lol: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!
Please click on the images for better quality! Also please note, some of the origami quotes contain potential spoilers. For this reason, I have put my spoiler-free rec of the fic first followed by the image of quotes on origami, and also individually flagged potential spoilers where I think it might be needed. If you would like anything else that I missed to be spoilered, feel free to lmk ❤️
Ok, on to the fics! (Below the cut)
1. Please, Take Your Time by @dracothecupcake (Drarry) (T, ~2.3k)
Summary: Draco's made it halfway through Eighth Year by way of reliable routine. All he wants is to be lonely in peace, thanks very much. It's really not that sad.
Enter Potter and his gang of devoted and overly organized minions.
Inspired by Vina's ideal cupcake as mentioned in this ask. This is a super sweet fic of 'Potter and his gang' plotting a scheme to help Harry cheer a sad Draco up. I loved how everyone got together to make the plan happen, especially when it was Dean's turn 😂 (Also I've literally been binge-reading all of Vina's works and they're great for comfort reading, do check them all out!!)
Video has plot spoilers!! (pls don't unmute lol tysm)
2. Through The Night by @thesleepiesthufflepuff (Linny) (T, ~2.75k)
Summary: Ginny tells herself that she's content with the way things are.
Luna proves her otherwise.
This fic has a special place in my heart. Featuring pining!Ginny, Luna and Ginny having weekly car rides together (which is 1000% my jam), soft and serious conversations, and coming to terms with feelings. The gorgeous description of the scenery and their road journey will make you feel like you're there with the two.
Bonus song suggestion: I loved reading the fic along with listening to the song referenced (Wild Horses), and also a second time with this song (Khaabon ke parinday) which I personally think fits the vibe of the fic really well. Feel free to give either/both a listen while reading if you'd like to!
3. Sugar Sweet by @the-sinking-ship (Drarry) (T, ~6k)
Summary: Draco thinks everyone forgot his birthday. (They didn’t.)
What the summary says 😌 This is officially one of my favourite birthday fics. Featuring scheming yet caring friends, snarky and witty banter, an absolutely delightful oc (Mrs Marchbanks), sweet birthday treats and sweeter moments between Draco and his loved ones.
If anyone's interested, here's how it looks from the back:
4. Flying Without Wings by Rasborealis (Drarry) (E, ~3.7k)
Summary: Harry has a Really Good Idea for that undercover Auror mission, and it involves boarding an airplane with Draco Malfoy.
He may not have thought this one through.
This hilarious and hot fic features Draco's first time on an airplane, scheming, snarky and dramatic Draco, and Harry trying (and failing) to focus on just their mission 😏
Potential spoiler in image!
*spoiler ends*
5. Rocks At My Window by @thejadewritergirl (Drarry) (G, ~5.54k)
Summary: All Harry wants to do is snuggle up in bed and dream of warmth and kisses and a silvery eyed someone. Too bad that someone has other plans.
Have I mentioned before that I'm obsessed with this author's writing? This heartwarming feel-good Christmas fic features Draco who has a Plan, a hilarious Ron, Harry enacting one of my favourite 'doors are for people with no imagination' scenes (Skulduggery Pleasant reference 🙈) and lovely Christmas traditions.
Plot spoiler in images!
*spoiler ends*
6. lyric-kissed by @elvenwinters (original work, gen) (T, ~1.3k) (WIP) (warnings: implied/referenced self-harm)
Summary: Two friends writing about love.
This poetic fic features two writer friends trying to figure out the perfect way to write about love, showing the ideas they have, the struggles of writing, and soft moments between the two. It's so beautifully written, and this is just one of the quote-worthy scenes I adore:
7. Pearls Make the Girl by @vukovich (Ron/Hermione, Harry/Hermione, Draco/Hermione, Draco/Harry, polyamory) (E, ~19.7k)
Summary: Security Advisor Granger is having a strange day at work after being recruited to collaborate with a certain handsome Head Auror, a gorgeous Curse Breaker and a... Ron.
Filth, fluff, and Furbies.
Omfg this fic is a wild ride. An intellectually and sexually frustrated Hermione tries to figure out the significance of said strange day at work as well as the rings the three men are wearing. The personalities and dynamics between the four are so on point. Super hot fic with a brilliant emotional ending.
#if anything pls lmk!#but please be nice :)#sorry this is so late#i had the whole thing planned#and then life happened#so it took a while to execute it#im so out of it lmao#sleep is my best friend#ugh#anyway#cbg fic rec#origami#i attempt#art#tag game#potential spoilers#spoilers#drarry#linny#romione#draco x hermione#harry x hermione#original work#fics#reclist#mine

First Line Game
Tagged by @drarrelie, @thejadewritergirl, @aedwritesfic, @jackvbriefs and @ihavesomeideawhatimdoinghere - thank you all! ❤
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favourite authors!
The following are all Drarry fics except 19, which is a Harry & Teddy fic:
1. Blood-red Moon (microfic): They moved as one in the shadows of the night, synchronised in body and mind.
2. Invitation (microfic): “Fuck you,” you growl.
3. Confession (microfic): You cross Potter in the Ministry hall—an occurrence that's been your morning ritual for years now.
4. Joy (microfic): The sinking feeling of Harry's sadness has become natural as breathing for Draco in the weeks they've been bonded; the heaviness of his boredom just a background buzz during every class.
5. Mirror (microfic): You look in the mirror and you see failure.
6. Light (microfic): An hour after Harry kills Riddle, Ron's still crying in his mother's arms.
7. Harry Potter, District Twelve (microfic): The cannon reverberated around him, but it was the closeup of Harry's face on screen that made Draco shake.
8. Heavy (drabble): “Ever since the Battle…” Harry's words are heavy with exhaustion—Draco's fingers in his hair his only silver lining.
9. Colleagues, Flatmates, Fiancés, HUSBANDS? (one-shot): “...And we’re still unsure whether the situation will be safe enough for us to marry in spring, so that’s why we haven’t organised much yet.”
10. Their Own Private Christmas Day (drabble): On the 26th of December, Draco and Harry celebrate their own private Christmas day.
11. Little By Little (drabble): “Wouldn't it be funny if this was my last Christmas?”
12. Love for a Kitten (drabble): “Hey there, love,” Draco said, sitting down on the couch beside the fluffy black kitten that was looking at him with wide eyes.
13. The Spark of Our Love (drabble): “Oh, the horror!”
14. Never Too Many Presents (drabble): “Draco, sweetie.”
15. A Lifetime of Memories (drabble): Two weeks after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry found a box in the cellar of Grimmauld place filled with letters from his parents.
16. The Scarf Thief (one-shot): “That’s my scarf.”
17. Destination: Healing (one-shot): “Shh, it’s okay.”
18. Watching You (drabble): A flash of lightning illuminated the cloaked sky, and Harry closed his eyes and counted the seconds, hands grasping the soaked handle of his broom.
19. Sometimes (drabble): “Uncle Harry?”
20. Yours for the Taking (one-shot): “We can assure you, Mr Riddle,” his father was saying, adding just the right amount of pride into his business-like tone to make it clear just how valuable he had raised Draco to be, “his medical record is pristine.”
I can see a few patterns here: I often start stories with dialogue lines, and when I don’t, I usually start with an article (the, a, an...) or a pronoun (you, they...). Most of my starting lines are short, although there are a few exceptions (particuarly 4, where the starting line is the entire first half of the microfic). I often use matter-of-fact statements as first lines (3, 5, 6, 10, 15) rather than narrating actions or descriptions (which I also do sometimes, like in 7 and 18, but even those beginnings are short and to the point). This also made me realise I haven’t written many things that aren’t microfics or drabbles lately 😅
I wouldn’t say I have a favourite, but I’ll go with 14 purely because of Pansy’s sass XD
Tagging: @ununquadius, @april-thelightfury115, @drarryruinedme7, @tsauergrass, @drarryangels and anyone else who wants to do this :)
#harry potter#drarry#drarry squad#drarry fic rec#drarry fic#draco x harry#harry x draco#tag game#fanfic tag game#I'll be honest i don't feel super great about my writing right now :( every time I try to write I end up frustrated and anxious#This hobby is hard sometimes#😂😭😂

First line game
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!
So I only have a dozen or so Harry Potter fics, so this will be multi-fandom. I'll be sure to tag everything. Oh, and I fully expect most of my opening lines to be dialogue. It will be interesting to see if that ends up true
Thanks so much to @glittering-git, @bonesliketambourines, and @tackytigerfic for the tag!
1) 2 Much Booty (In Da Pants)- (Drarry, not rated, 318) “Hey,” Draco says. “It’s that guy.”
2) Almost-but-not-quite- (Drarry, gen, 2.1k) Potter and his merry little band of misfits have won the war.
3) The Snuggle is Real- (Drarry, mature, 2.2k) “Remind me why we’re here and not at our nice warm flat,” Draco said with a wry smile.
4) Bob Weasley- (Drarry, gen, 1.4k) Draco walks into his flat with Luna on his heels.
5) A Very Tipsy Christmas- (Drarry, teen, 1.6k) “Harry,” Draco slurred. “Harry, I thought everybody here was going to hate me.”
6) Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)- (Drarry, explicit, 9.1k) Harry doesn’t really like to travel, but when the Ministry tells someone they want them in Paris, in August when the weather is perfect and their children can stay elsewhere, that person had better well take their spouse.
7) Only Happy When it Rains- (Drarry, teen, 13.6k) In the twenty-nine years Draco Malfoy had been on earth, there were exactly two things he had done of which he was proud.
8) a little chocolate now and then- (Ginsey, explicit, 4.2k) Pansy loved her girlfriend.
9) In Love With the Ferret- (Drarry, explicit, 21.9k) "Dear Merlin, you're in love with the ferret," Ron says, apropos of nothing, one sunny May morning.
10) As You Wish- (Drarry, teen, 21.9k) The sun has long since set and Scorpius is dragging his heels when Draco finally insists that it is bedtime.
11) The Heart of a Mother- (Molly Weasley character piece, gen, 2.4k) Charlie, Your father and I are hoping to visit you at the end of the month, if you are available.
12) Ex-cons (and feds) just wanna have fun- (Scott Lang/Jimmy Woo- Marvel, teen, 1.5k) What was Scott thinking?
13) You Can't Spell Awesome Without Me- (Spideypool- Marvel, mature, 25.3k) The day Wade Wilson met Peter Parker was the day he died.
14) Dream Daddy- (Stucky-Marvel, mature, 16k) “Dad!” Amanda’s voice was loud in the empty hallway.
15) everything we do, we do it big- (Kate Bishop/Gwen Poole-Marvel, teen, 5.2k) If there was one thing Kate Bishop knew, it was being a superhero.
16) All I Want for Christmas- (Stucky-Marvel, mature, 8.3k) Steve was really enjoying his post-Avengers life.
17) When you Move, I'm Moved- (Stucky-Marvel, explicit, 15k) I sit down with Steve Rogers in his apartment over a corner bodega.
18) When I'm Reborn- (Stucky-fem!Steve-Marvel, explicit 20.1k) His turgid manhood throbbed.--HA! so for reference, this is a book Stevie is reading, not actually part of the story. The actual fic starts with, “What rot!” Stevie shouted as she threw her book on the ground.
19) Bad Ass. Smart Ass. Great Ass.- (Winter Soldier + Deadpool broship, Stucky-Marvel, mature, 2.8k) Wakanda was nice.
20) I Need to Tell You Something- (Spideypool-Marvel, Mature, 21.2k) “Let’s start the story several years ago.
Wow, so I was SOOOO wrong about starting with dialogue! I did notice that all of my Drarry fics started out talking about Draco in some way which is hilarious to me because I have yet to write a whole fic from his POV. I also noticed that my first lines usually set up something else. So they're a bit short and tend to not say much? But then the next line will explain more? (I hope)
I would have to say my favorite HP line is from In Love With the Ferret, which I know is such a broken record at this point, but it was so much fun to write! ALSO IT'S RON AND I LOVE RON!!!!!!
And my favorite non-HP line is from You Can't Spell Awesome because I adore Wade Wilson and his tendency to exaggerate. A lot. (Like me.)
But this was so much fun! I'm sorry if I'm tagging people who have already been tagged but @cibeewastaken @static-abyss @slytherco @drarry-quite-contrary @the-kellephant @gnarf @maesterchill @thejadewritergirl @digtheshipper @cassiaratheslytherpuff and anyone I've forgotten, please tag me if you want to do this. I have a horrible memory and I love you all, I just forget user names!

Thank you, @prolix- for the tag!!
Nothing to Declare Here. (Drarry, T, 1.1k) – You watch him balance his mother’s bone china cups– white, with blue flowers and gold leaves– on the narrow windowsill of your living room, right beside the emaciated corpse of the plant you bought seven months ago.
Dinner and Diatribes (Drarry, E, 4.8k) – "You're in a mood."
You Are Safe (I Know) (Drarry, E, 42k) – Harry finds Parvati sitting on the steps to the Divination Tower, Lavender’s curly head cradled in her lap.
You’ve Got A Second Chance (You Could Go Home) (Jeddy, T, 16k) – “I need to talk to you,” Teddy says, smile plastered on convincingly for any errant eyes watching, but eyes sharp and serious to the point where a spike of alarm surges through Harry.
My Hands Are Of Your Colour (Drarry, E, 7.9k) – Julian was undeniably one of Harry’s best fucks.
Though Your World Is Changing, I Will Be The Same (Drarry, E, 15k) – Draco has discovered Firewhisky to be an excellent houseguest.
Every Breath You Take (Drarry, M, 19k) – The day Scorpius wakes up knowing he’s going to die, there are two people in his bedroom.
You’re My Oasis (Blaise/Theo, E, 2.6k) – “I can see the Thestrals now,” Theo says, the words falling from his whiskey laden lips like thick sludge, weighing down the air between them.
Sanctify My Body (With Pain) (Wolfstar, M, 23k) – The silent stillness of the night, broken only by faint church bells is fading into grotesque dawn that lightens the horizon despite the absence of sunrise.
You Couldn’t Have Loved Me Better (IronSpider/Starker, M, 14k) – With the sound of the approaching car bumping along the stones of the driveway growing louder every second, Peter jumps off the bed, grabbing his discarded shirt from the bedpost, hurriedly drawing it back over his shoulders.
I Will Wait For You (Drarry, E, 5.6k) – Harry returns home late on Saturday evening, his Auror uniform sticking to his body like a second skin that is both uncomfortable and undesirable, to find Draco fast asleep on the couch in front of the fireplace, a book on his chest.
(You Are A) Shooting Star Across My Sky (Drarry, T, 10k) – Dear Mr. Potter, Please note that alongside all the necessary requirements detailed on the shopping list sent to all eighth and seventh year students, eighth year students are required to bring dress robes and formal shoes.
All I Need (All I Could Wish For) (Wolfstar, T, 10k) – Christmas used to be one of the times of the year Remus used to care about.
No patterns are becoming apparent to me except that maybe I like to start with a little bit of intrigue like a siren luring unsuspecting sailors into a sea of thousands and thousands of invisible plotlines and angst. As someone who has spent literal months agonising over a single opening line... this game was therapeutic, because hey! They aren’t half as bad as I tend to think they are!!
I’ll tag @onbeinganangel @amortentiaboys @shealwaysreads @xanthippe74 (i have a feeling you guys might have done this/been tagged already, but <3) @/anyone who sees this and wants to do this because it is very cool

First Line Game
I was tagged by my darling, taste-twin @shealwaysreads and okay let's all pretend for a second that I have enough stuff to do this because I REALLY want to ok? okay ❤️ they're mostly tumblr drabbles that I am nonetheless very proud of
Rules: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favorite opening line. Then tag 10 of your favorite authors!
1. by which we must be saved - Draco dreams of the forest.
2. Senses - “It was a disintegration curse,” Harry tells the nurse as soon as he regains consciousness.
3. Loud, so everyone can hear - They fell in love on a Wednesday night like any other, almost without noticing.
4. Timebomb, WIP: The day Harry sleeps with Malfoy for the first time, is also the day he bruises his knuckles punching his boss in the nose.
5. Bond - “Fuck, you look amazing in uniform.”
6. Omg they were roommates - This is how it goes: Ron and Hermione are together, Neville and Hannah are together, Luna and that guy Rolf are together, Ginny and Cho are together—which is just hilarious, honestly, Harry finds it simply hysterical— and now they’ve got their sharp little eye on Harry.
7. Tangled - The first time Draco saw the thief, he thought perhaps he’d imagined it.
8. Persistence of the soul, WIP: He first learned about it at twenty seven, six years after he started working at the Department of Mysteries, two years after being promoted from Unspeakable to member of the elite force working the Life Chamber.
9. In A Past Life - It’s very early on a Tuesday the day Draco Malfoy walks into Harry’s office and says, “I found your mother’s ring,” sending Harry’s world spiraling with his words, because yes, it is his mother’s ring, but no, it never belonged to Lily Potter.
10. Home - When they apparate into the front lawn, hand in hand, it’s half past five and the evening sky has acquired a pale blue colour, almost as if someone diluted it with white paint in order to bring out the handsome house standing proud at the end of the driveway.
11. Through A Song - Depending on which member of the crew was asked the question, the answer was a bit different.
12. Harry Potter's Biography, by Joanne K Rowling - “No,” Draco said.
13. Carefree - Why, is what Draco thinks as dawn breaks.
14. Wrong tie - Harry treasures these moments.
15. Hades - “I could corrupt you,” Harry says, his voice carries the fire of the underworld, the dichotomy of death, every bit as frightening as it is compelling.
16. Shall We Dance? - Mrs. Klinefelter’s perfume smelled as if a bouquet of roses had been dipped in mead and left to rot, and every second she spoke, she leaned closer and closer to Harry, making him feel faint. He thought he might throw up.
17. Liquid Courage - “-come here, lemme just…” Draco leans over him, a hand braced to the wall next to Harry’s head, effectively trapping him, “‘gotta tell you something,” his voice is low and his words slurred, and they make something pool in the bottom of Harry’s stomach, something he’d rather not think about.
18. At the gala - The annual Christmas Eve Ministry Ball had always been rubbish.
19. The Chime Of The Clock - “You used to look at me like that, you know.”
20. Mafia, WIP: Draco Malfoy did not need a bodyguard.
I'm not sure if I can see a pattern, but I seem to establish the character I'm talking about fairly quickly, every time :O
I'm tagging YOU, YOU READING THIS, that's it you're tagged and you just tell people I tagged you, and it will be the truth!

my wolfstar fic recc
29 of my favs, plus 2 comics :)
sorted from shortest to longest, series at the bottom
i like long fics, i like raising Harry AUs, i like Lay Low at Lupin’s fics, i like marauder era “we’re 70′s trash fics”, i like angst, but i also love “everybody lives”, kind of a mix of everything but seriously a lot of raising Harry AUs because it fills a need i guess
some super popular, some relative unknowns i think
all fics that characterize wolfstar for me :)
JKR has disappointed me supremely, but fan works will hold my love forever
part 2 because i forgot some
STANDALONES
1. A Day Like Any Other by dustmouth
(a comic, not really a fic, just hosted on AO3)
The one where Sirius keeps receiving unwanted mail, Remus drinks a lot of tea, Peter's out on a hot date, and James is offering unwanted make overs.
(Or the answer to the question of exactly how many cursed letters can you flush down the loo).
2. To Keep a Star by dustmouth
(a comic, not really a fic, just hosted on AO3)
Daily life in the Intergalactic Postal Service. Or the one where Sirius is a postal star and Remus lives on a spaceship.
3. in your bedroom, during the war by lupinely
There’s the bed, there’s the room, and there’s Remus. This, at least, Sirius knows for sure. (4Kish)
4. Home We’ll Go by appalachian_fireflies
"I can't, I don't know how," Remus stuttered as Molly dropped the infant into his arms, who immediately ceased crying and stared up at him with wide eyes.
"Nonsense," Molly said. "Be a dear and keep him from falling while I feed Ginny."
"Ba!" Ron giggled, and slapped Remus in the face.
Molly is the emergency contact for the Order when those listed can no longer be reached. Remus' life finds a different path. (10K)
5. A Store of Happiness by coyotesuspect
Harry spends the summer after his third year living with Sirius and Professor Lupin. (10K)

Remus' lycanthropy has caused his body to seriously deteriorate over the years due to the constant stress of the transformations, and by his fifty-sixth birthday, it's certain that he won't live to finish out the year. However, a cure has recently been discovered - but what if the cure is just as bad as the disease? (11K)

In a world where Dumbledore defeated Voldemort during the first war, the wizarding community is picking up the pieces and getting back to their lives. Remus Lupin becomes a person of interest in a murder at the bookshop where he works and Sirius Black and James Potter, aurors, are sent to investigate. As they navigate the crime itself, Remus and Sirius realize that there is something to their instant chemistry. But they need to keep their newfound attraction under wraps while trying to find the killer and stop them from claiming more victims. (36K)
14. Paper Wings by Krislaughs
(not hosted on ao3)
What if Sirius Black sent a final message from Azkaban? Enter the home of the last Marauder in the days following Voldemort’s downfall. Lost and alone, Remus asks a question of the void, a question whose answer will send him around the world. Meeting puppies, Kneazles, dementors, and nomads, Remus learns more about himself and his friends than he ever thought possible. Learn the secrets of the Marauder’s map and the world’s best chocolate, how various Death Eaters occupied themselves after the fall of their lord, and why you should never leave Remembralls lying around.
15. Uncreated Night by earlybloomingparentheses
Remus can drift through whole worlds in his own mind. Sirius lives in his body, electric, ablaze. In 1979 and 1996 and 1978 and 1981 and in many other years and many different places, they search for the bridges between them and the spaces they can share. Time after time, they fight their way back together, head and heart, mind and body.
And in 1998, Remus stands before the veil, wondering if he should finally stop thinking, and just act. (41.5K)
16. Lemon Chiffon Yellow by Spklvr
An unplanned night between Remus and Tonks ends up changing their lives forever. (42K)
17. The Weather Inside by earlybloomingparentheses

How he wants, though. How he wants. (43K)

Growing up is hard to do -- but the journey is better if you take someone with you. (53K)

Or, a love story—backwards and forwards. (54K)
21. A Series of Sketches Done in Black Ink by mustntgetmy
Non-magic AU. Sirius had always imagined the aftermath of falling in love would mean lightness, and an escape from all the horrors of his childhood. But the past never leaves, and even love can't stop bad memories from resurfacing.
An almost year in the life of Sirius and Remus's first year as a couple replete with art and tangled sheets, and containing the following: filled sketchbook pages from people lost and people found, terrible biscuits from an excellent therapist, mismatched music records, expensive hot chocolate, a lost brother, photographs (some invasive and some invoking terrible memories), a reckoning with the past, a promise of the future, and yet another ridiculously over the top Halloween party. (57K)
22. Alt Ed by NachoDiablo
“Remus? Who the bloody hell is Remus?” James is scrambling to straighten his chair as McGonagall glares at him from the head table.
Mary smiles innocently. “Oh, just a new friend that Lily met over the holidays. He’s homeschooled, just moved into her neighborhood it seems. She says he’s very clever. And I hear he’s quite fit, as well.”
AU where Remus and Lily become friends outside of Hogwarts, setting James and Sirius on a quest to learn more about this mysterious newcomer. (61K)
23. Indiana Lupin and the Search for the Conqueror by nekarose
Remus Lupin is an undercover archaeologist for the British Museum and is sent to Greenland to investigate a Roman shipwreck. In Greenland he meets Sirius Black, makes a real discovery and soon enough the two of them are racing through the world in search of the remains of the Library of Alexandria with Remus’ arch-enemy right at their heels. (66K)
24. Le Mot Vagabond by ironicallyinternational
(It all starts with Peter Pettigrew dying twice.
First, Peter kills Wormtail (discreetly), and then Sirius kills him (less discreetly).
Losing a friend is never easy, even amidst the ravages of war, but losing the last of your childhood alongside him is far worse.)
War is a complicated, messy thing. The Marauders have their fucked up shit to deal with, but they also have each other, and that counts for a lot. (151K)

25. The Hole in the Ground by sostrata
(5 works) A series of fics about Sirius and Remus raising Harry in their home, The Hole in the Ground. (18k)

28. Lycanthropic Studies by Eiiri
(3 works)

As pages of the lunar calendar turn and the summer wears on,Draco and the others begin to see each other in a different light. (139K)
29. Stealing Harryverse by copperbadge
(works 12)
On a dark night long ago, Sirius Black took a wrong turn and never found Peter Pettigrew. Instead of Azkaban, Sirius settled down in Little Whinging to keep an eye on his godson, and hired Remus Lupin to run his bookshop for him. Then one day when Harry was eight, Sirius found out how the Dursleys treated him, and stole him away.
Stealing Harry is an alternate universe version of Harry Potter's life before his time at Hogwarts. It is the story of Harry's family: Sirius and Remus, Ted and Andromeda, Nymphadora, Neville Longbottom, and even Severus Snape, all banded together against a newly powerful Peter Pettigrew who is still searching for a way to resurrect Voldemort.
Laocoon's Children follows Harry through his time at Hogwarts as he develops a very different group of friends: Hufflepuff Draco Malfoy, Ravenclaw Padma Patil, and Gryffindor Neville Longbottom, strange companions for a Harry who was sorted into Slytherin -- the house of his beloved Professor Snape.
This universe ends in Harry's third year, and is partially incomplete. As it is not likely to be finished, the last story in the series is a group of notes I made on where the story would have gone and how it would have ended. (443.3K)
30. All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89
(4 works)
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant. 1971 - 1995 (557K)
31. Crow Rides A Pale Horse by tb_ll57
(4 works)
The note pinned to his collar read 'Harry J Potter - please accept'. The Dursleys had left him with nothing else but a pillow sack with half a sleeve of McVities biscuits, a mealy apple, and ten pounds. (618K)
#hp#harry potter#wolfstar#remus lupin#sirius black#killing sirius was not punk rock jk rowling#nor was killing off remus#this is the barest reason to want to kick jkr#reference for myself#i dont have all of these bookmarked on ao3 even if they're some of my favs#raising harry#fic rec#this only took me an hour to make i can't believe i've been procrastinating this#lolol yes i can#i can believe

my fave drarry fics of all time, part one
so, after discovering i’ve officially been reading drarry fanfic for 4 years now, i decided to show my (quite big) list of favorite drarry fics. there are 46 in total, but i’ve listed 10 down below. the first three are my absolute favorites but the rest are equally as good
most of my notes are fresh from when i wrote them post-reading. i’ve changed some, seeming less like a crazy unstable bitch, but fuck these were all emotional as fuck. enjoy
ps: i dont really know how to tag people i dont follow. i cant try and tag the authors later. soz!!
pps: most of these i read when i was really into a bottom!draco phase, so most of them contain that, some are switch tho (as it should be, yikes past me)
1. Everything That Happen is From Now On / ~43K
After surviving a brutal assault, Draco tries to navigate the tumultuous waters of his mind, and embrace a bit of love and trust in his life. After all, the smallest steps forward can begin to heal the most fractured of souls
okay so before i get in to how beautiful this story is, i wanna say that it does touch on rape quite explicitly. i cried like an idiot reading the entire thing, because draco’s pain is navigated in the most beautiful and realistic way. it touches on a subject very risky for me, very personal, and i still can’t think of a better drarry story. draco’s very draco about it all, and harry is very harry about it all. it’s just perfect, and messy, and tender, and sad. i’ve reread it more than any other fic, and it doesn’t disappoint.
2. Pocket Full of Starlight / ~46K
When Scorpius Malfoy and Jamie Potter meet at Quidditch camp, they take an instant dislike to each other. Then they discover their lives are more connected than they could possibly imagine.
ah yes. the magic of kid fics. the TASTE
parent trap au. i read this one recently, like 3 months back, and absolutely fell in love with everything about it, partially because the parent trap is legit one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. its just. the essence, the IDEA, is soooo mf beautiful. i cant get enough of reading when harry or draco finally meet the other twin, or how they cant stop loving each other even after 11 years. my heart clenched throughout the whole thing.
3. Temptations on the Warfront / ~180K
Draco Malfoy is forced into hiding with the Golden Trio and dragged into their search for horcruxes. What ensues is a journey of redemption, unexpected friendships and an unwanted, turbulent romance with Harry Potter. Warnings for swearing, sexual content, and dark themes.
this was the first drarry fic ive ever read, and before this mf i HATEDDD this pairing. so you can imagine how much it took to convince me otherwise, bc i was 100% scorbus before this.
to be fair, horcrux hunting with draco involved is, possibly, my favorite trope ever. its unique. theres tension, both sexual and life threatening. in some ways it romanticizes the war, but fuck it it aint a real war.
slowest of burns. amazing. life changing. long as hell. nothing else to be said except read it right now i demand it.
4. Clouding the Senses / ~58K
As everyone returns to Hogwarts for a final eighth year, some people are coping better with the aftermath of the war than others. After encountering a very drunk Draco Malfoy one night, Harry realises that maybe those that lost loved ones aren’t the only ones trying to escape the war. Blaise Zabini seems to think Harry can help Malfoy, that the Slytherin might actually listen to him. Harry is not so sure. Dependence is a tricky thing, and one addiction can quickly shift to another.
everyone that reads drarry loves 8th year fics, but this ones just kinda different from all those normal (yet entertaining) ones. draco’s an alcoholic in this, and one night harry tries to help him and whoops, one thing leads to the other and they start having casual sex. its really, really amazing how both draco and harry navigate the addiction, i really cant say it has any flaws.
i know the author got a lot of hate on their fics and thats why they took them down, but they’re truly one of the best drarry authors out there. i’ve reread this a couple of times, and the tenderness, the love and confusion is all very on character. a+
5. Restraint / ~153K
Someone casts the Imperius curse on Draco Malfoy, and whatever the instructions may be, Harry finds himself an unwilling target. The encounter leaves him torn between pleasure and revulsion. As they fight in the aftermath, a tense game begins. Harry fights to convince Malfoy, and himself, that he was not affected by that initial encounter, or any of those following it.
Faced with a series of escalating encounters, Harry must come to terms with desiring things he never thought he could, things he wishes he didn’t respond to. They each use signs of arousal as weapons against each other in a mad struggle to finally shame the other into backing down for good.
But it’s only after the game is over that Harry starts to understand.
this is by the same author of clouding the senses, and i read this just this week. at first, it’s shocking, because it plays around with consent in a very unsettling way. when communication comes in, and its starts getting healthier, you can really understand where the author found the idea of playing with consent. it is, in my opinion, 100% characteristic of how they would behave post-war, with that grief and confusion. it’s also dom/sub in some parts, and that’s mf hot.
it also has my favorite tropes in it, but it’s a spoiler to say which one. i’ll probably mention the trope in the list along with a bunch others, but when u finish reading you’ll know which one ;)
6. Humbug / ~30K
Draco has been taking his casual relationship with Harry for granted. Visits from four key ghosts the night before Christmas just might shake up his priorities in life.
(felt like it was valid to just paste what i wrote in my notes app after reading this)
(FUCKKKKKK HOW TO EVEN START?!!!?? just a fucking bonus, draco is THE best bottom o ever exist i love my bottom son so much. this story isnt only amazing it’s excruciatingly painful to read, harry and draco have been sleeping together but harry is completely in love with him. draco doesnt see how much harry cares for him or how much hes hurting harry by treating their fling like its just that, a FLING. with that, draco is haunted by three ghosts. one of the past, the present and the future, AND THEY SET THAT IDIOT STRAIGHTTTT 1800000/10. the gays DO KEEP MF WINNING!!!
7. in your arms, rests my world / ~24K
Harry presses his mouth to Malfoy's forehead; he wants to tell him that he’ll never leave, that he wouldn’t dream of it.
“You make me feel safe, Potter” Malfoy whispers. “You keep me safe.”
the friends with benefits trope doesnt ever disappoint, top 5 tropes fr, especially if its also 8th year. harry and draco get into their little thing, but of course nothing ever is simple between them. by the preview, you can clearly see how much draco likes harry (also another 10/10 trope, the ‘i’ve been in love with harry potter since i was 11′ one). my only tiny issue with this is that harry fucks it up just a tad, but it of course adds up to the drama of it all, which i absolutely love.
noting it also touches on non-con/rape and, and all in all, is extremely angsty. one i was tense from beginning to end. but i am gonna say it ends amazingly and v happily.
8. Playing the Hero / ~29K
Nobody kissed me like Harry did. He kissed like he flew; he kissed like he duelled - with his whole being, not caring about anything else. I had never felt as vulnerable as I did when he kissed me, seizing all and any control I had over myself. But when Harry kissed me, I felt free...
so the thing about angst is that it ignites that mf feeling side u that even tho it hurts you cannot get enough of. this fic was EVERYTHINGGG. it made cry and laugh and smile. also another trope i absolutely adore is them breaking up and not being 100% ok with that, bc ding ding!! YALL STILL LOVE EACH OTHER!!
i cant describe how i felt, honestly. i would just paste my notes (i wont bc spoilers) but it looks like i went thru sum shit. deadass
9. fine i’ll hold my breath / till i forget it’s complicated / ~ 15K with the two parts
Harry and Draco become friends with benefits, and Harry thinks it's more complicated than it actually is.
u know, fluff is a drug. i dont know if its beucase 90% of drarry fics are about angsty get-togethers, but i had butterflies in my stomach when i read this. its adorable. draco is so clearly in love, he jusT SMILES A LOT I CANTTT.
its cute. i love it to death. have some fluff before starting your day.
10. Un Noël très parisien / ~14K
When Draco crossed paths with Auror Potter at a political function in Paris, he was not expecting their former animosity to change into something rather more intriguing. But he could be certain their casual flirtation would not last more than the night, couldn't he?
look. i know i named a lot of my favorite tropes here, but i cant end this without mentioning how much single dad draco affects me. i love scorpius and how much he changes draco in every fic he appears. i love parent draco and i shant be silent about it (especially when scorpius is legit just a year old in this. i died)
as it states, harry and draco have a one night stand but draco thinks thats it, that it was all he was ever gonna have. he’s wrong of course, and the path it takes, with both scorpius and harry there, just melted my mf heart.
well kids that’s all i have for now. imma work on a part two with 10 other fics i really love!1

Thanksgiving
As some of you know, I’m an American, and today in America lots of people celebrate Thanksgiving. For many, it’s a time to stop and think about all the gifts we’ve been given and give thanks for those things. So in the spirit of that, I’d like to express a little of what I’m thankful for here on Tumblr.
Firstly, I’m thankful to each and every person who has taken the time to read, like, reblog, and/or comment on one of my fics. It means the world to get to interact with all of you, to get feedback and see how you feel about my pieces. It’s always exciting to see when someone’s binge read my writing or added some sweet comment. Honestly, it makes my day. I know not all of you interact, commenting and such, but still know that you’re very appreciated for just taking the time to read my work.
And for those occasional few people who send me asks and compliments, thank you all so much. Whenever I get one of those, it always turns my day around. People really do underestimate just how much positive words have an impact. I always try to sneak on and leave a few compliment asks on people’s blogs, so thank you to everyone that also pays me that kindness.
Finally, I’d like to send some thanks out there for the wonderful people and blogs I’ve gotten the chance to interact with here on Tumblr. When I joined, the goal was to make some new friends, interact with some people, and feel productive while I was too ill to leave the house. Although I’ve been a scosh too shy and awkward to make many friends, @absolute-randomness-forever (my battle accomplice), @scottybrock (my soul sister), and @colbybrocksmolder (my writer wife), were all wonderful enough to reach out and encourage me (albeit hesitantly) out of my shell on here. Their friendship and support means the absolute world to me, and, truly, I miss my writer wife every day :)
There are so many blogs on here to be thankful for, as there are so many diligent people who have put out content that has warmed my heart and encouraged me to keep going even when I’m feeling at my worst. There’s no way to list every blog I’m thankful for on here, but I’m going to list a few that I’m very grateful for providing content (besides, obviously, the three lovely people I listed above). To start in the Harry Potter realm thanks to, @weasley-kings (for creating such amazing content) @wolfwistleweasley (for the cutest George series ever) @silversslytherin (for creating so many must read fanfics that are just to die for) @drawlfoy (for making some of the cutest pieces of writing. Honestly one of my fave Draco writers) @eltanin-malfoy (for so graciously allowing me to be in the Christmas Fic Exchange) @socontagiousimagines (for all the cute writings and recommendations) @fanfictionwonderland123 (for pulling me down the rabbit hole of HP fan fiction those many years ago) @war-sword (for the AMAZING writing. I swear there isn’t one thing on their blog I wouldn’t climb to the rooftops screaming recommendations about) @candybarrnerd (for the amazing AO3 writing). In the Riverdale fandom, just a few that come to mind are @southsidedserpent (for the adorable fics) @xserpentlife (for the 20/10 amazing writing that always takes my breath away) @bumblesimagines (because their stuff is always SO creative. Even though many are written for male readers, and I’m not a male, I can’t help reading them! They’re all just so good!) and @riverdaletales (for the awesome fics). Finally, last but never least, the Colby Brock/Trap House/ Slap House fandom. Many of these blogs are the ones that welcomes me onto tumblr, and I’m so thankful for each and every one that was so welcoming and inclusive of me and my work. Some of my favorite people are @sp00kybrock @daddydobrock (the eternal babe) @twoboysfromkansas (an amazing account) @colbysmisdemeanour (that always creates such imaginative stuff) and @mariadotcom (for just being all around awesome).
Of course, those aren’t all, and I’ve probably missed a bunch of people, but those are a few I’m especially thankful for. I’m sure as soon as I post this, I’ll think of more blogs I love and appreciate but forgot to mention. So thank you to everyone. These past few months haven’t been easy, but I’m so grateful for each and every person for making my time on tumblr remarkably enjoyable.
Much love,
-Silent

Masterpost HP WIP Fest, part 1
Hello dear fest participants and exited readers. I hereby give you the first masterpost of the HP WIP Fest, announcing all WIP’s that have entered so far. As it is a long list, I have put it under a cut, with the WIP’s that are already on ao3 first in case you want to start reading already.
If you signed up for the fest but do not see your WIP in this list, this is probably because I do not yet have a title for your work. In that case, please email me the title so I can include you in the next masterpost.
I hope all the participants find lots of inspiration to finish in the upcoming weeks, and to our early readers, enjoy these wonderful WIP’s!
#1
Skin Deep by @loganaa-fic
Pairing: Drarry
When Harry accepts a job at Dean's tattoo parlor, he never expected that Draco Malfoy would show up, looking for a tattoo. But then again, since when did Malfoy do what was expected?
#2
The Boy Who Killed God by @sirius-black-killed-god
Pairing: Wolfstar
Sirius Black has a secret. Well, no, that's not true. Sirius Black has many secrets. His wand is dying, his parents more or less want to kill him, and there's the small matter of the cursed TOUJOURS PUR tattoo right above his heart, that he's had since he turned eight years old. Sirius Black is no stranger to secrets.
Then, Remus Lupin walks into his life.
Thus, begins a whole new history - one of darkness, of magic, of bravery, of family - as four boys set out to unwind the endings so many others have written for them.
This is the story of the Marauders at Hogwarts and afterwards, and all the love that lies between.
This is Year One.
#3
Apparently by justanotherloser
Pairing: Drarry
Father says apparently I feel too much.
Mother says apparently my mask needs to hide more of my emotions.
The Dark Lord says apparently I'm too weak.
Blaise says apparently I hate too often, and Pansy says I apparently need to let go.
I never get to make choices with them. Not with my family, not with my life, not with my house.
Apparently I can only choose who I hate, and I can't even get that right.
Apparently I love Harry Potter.
#4
Are You Here To Finish Me Off, Sweetheart? by @geekmom13

Children of war by @the-purple-black
Pairing: Bellatrix Lestrange/Rodolphus Lestrange

#6
Fixed Point by @frumpologist
Pairing: Dramione
Draco and Hermione are Time Unspeakables who travel through time to stop anachronists from using illegal time travel to change the course of history.
Their adventures lead them through the whole of history and the unwritten expanse of the future. Hermione learns about the History of Magic and Draco learns about science, Muggles, and falling in love.
However, there are fixed points in time, events so important that they cannot be altered. Hermione Granger’s tragic life as an Unspeakable is one of those points, and nothing Draco can do will change the path they’re forced to follow.
#7
Not In Love (Letters) by @drarryangels
Pairing: Drarry
It's eighth year at Hogwarts, and Harry is unsurprisingly beyond miserable. Ron isn't coming back for his last year of school, Hermione is suddenly best friends with Pansy Parkinson, and Draco Malfoy won't stop ignoring him.

Sequel to Palo Alto by @nachodiablo
Pairing: Wolfstar
Modern AU set in Northern California. It's been four years since Sirius and Remus got their shit together. James and Lily aren't doing too shabby, either. Things are going great. Sure, James still hasn't gotten any of his business ideas off the ground quite yet. And yeah, Lily's still not ready to move in with James, even though she spends every night at his place. And okay, Remus might be starting to freak a little about whether his PhD is going to land him in some no-name wasteland town for a job. And fine, Sirius has stalled out a bit since he left work to pursue his dreams of... well, to find a dream to pursue. Regardless. Things are great. Very chill. That is, until a family tragedy brings an adorable bundle of responsibility into their lives.
#9

Pairing: Dramione

#19
Distant Stars by @of-stars-and-moon
Pairing: Wolfstar, Jily
(The story of Sirius Black, a Slytherin student as he finds friendship and love from someone he never expected)

Pairing: Drarry

#21
The Noble and Most Ancient Guide to Vice and Virtues by grimyoufuck
Pairing: Wolfstar
Toujours Pur; the words had been branded into Sirius' subconscious from a young age. It was a motto he'd never been able to live up to, even when he had tried. But now? Now, he was going to escape his mother's scathing words and his father's ambivalent silence to travel the continent with his best friend, and nothing was going to stop him. His mother was determined to keep the bloodline pure, and uphold the name of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Sirius was determined to do the opposite.
When Sirius Black journeys to France to begin the first leg of his European tour with best friend James Potter, he'd expected a holiday of booze and boys. What he hadn't expected, much less wanted, was an educational trip, including nights out at the opera. But when a particular cast member catches Sirius' eye, he wonders if some good old fashioned fun could be obtained after all.
#22
Serendipity by @mrsren96
Pairing: Harry/Hermione
Like any girl, Hermione has dreamed of her future nuptials, at least once or twice. So far it's not going so well. There's a marriage law, and well, Harry Potter to deal with.
#23
Avignon by bittercape
Pairing: Gen
Voldemort is dead, and Wizarding Britain is controlled by the totalitarian Umbridge Ministry. The resistance, mainly centered around our heroes from the books (with some additions and some changes), is working against overpowering odds to overthrow the government. Think a reversed French revolution meets Cold War-era Berlin. With magic.
#24
A Bond Beyond The Vast Wave by @mangopassionfruity
Pairing: Sirius/Lucius, James/Lily, Lily/Severus
Sirius was a many things, rebellious, lazy, a prankster, troublemaker, lady's man, irresponsible, carefree. Or that is what he likes to appear as. And why break that image he's crafted for himself? Even if it'd make his life easier, especially with his hidden relationship with a certain Malfoy heir.
But things backfire and it leads to making decisions that change his way of life.
#25
Though My Mind Could Think (I Still Was a Mad Man) by Cassiara
Pairing: Drarry
After the war is over Harry thinks it's finally his turn to rest after years of pretending he's fine, and just waiting for the day he isn't needed anymore. He tries to kill himself, but of all people, Malfoy saves him. Harry realises that if he has the courage to die, he should also have the courage to live.
Ultimately this is a story about recovery, but it's also about all the things you sometimes have to go through to get there.
This is a rewrite of my fic "Favourite Scar".
#26
Explosions in the heart by @hp-rbiim
Pairing: Drarry
It's back to Hogwarts and Malfoy is annoying as ever.
Unpublished WIP’s
#27
Time is gone (thought i'd have something more to say) by Thestias
Pairing: Fremione
After the battle of hogwarts, the dead number in the hundreds; the loss of the brightest witch of their age hits hard, and for one wizard, his desperation to fix what had been broken sends him travelling back in time in a frantic attempt to save her. angst, fluff and angst, time travel, alternate universe - canon divergence, slow burn
#28
Encounters by @pottercrew
Pairing: Drarry
Harry is finding it difficult to keep his relationship with Draco apart from his relationships with Malfoy. What if he no longer wants to? Kink negotiation, anal sex, blow jobs, hard sex, bondage, voyeurism, sex club.
#29
The Side Of The Angels by @hiddenhibernian
“Focus,” Hermione told herself, forcing her breathing to slow down. “What's the worst that can happen?”
Bad question. Her heart was hammering so hard it drowned out the buzz from the bar on the other side of the door to the cleaning cupboard she unceremoniously had been bundled into. The bar was the Hag's Head, and it was usually a friendly place for the Order of the Phoenix. They were still fighting, five years after the fall of Harry Potter, but Aberforth had turned against them... It didn't bear thinking about.
Then the door opened.
#30
Not Gryffindor…? by Dracomalfoyy_youlittleshit
Harry gets sorted into Slytherin, finding an unlikely friendship in Draco Malfoy. Basically a retell of Harry Potter but with Harry in Slytherin.
#31
A Lotus In The Mud by @kaokumasparkle
Pairing: Drarry
Harry always had problems with common sense, everyone knows this. And now that he's sick with Hanahaki over a certain slytherin blonde, it looks like he may never get the chance to learn.
