fandom asks - 2, 5

2 - what fandoms were apart of that you aren’t any longer?

i’ve gone in and out of the lunar chronicles/renegades/marissa meyer fandom several times, but right now i’m out. i’ll still reblog fanart from my mutuals though:) i also used to be apart of the red queen fandom. basically, a lot of YA books!

5 - what is your favorite overused trope?

i would say corruption arc (it’s almost all i read and write) but it’s comparatively not a lot. so then: enemies to lovers, whump, soulmate aus. also enemies to lovers but specifically when it’s an arranged marriage to appease tensions between two warring nations. sometimes the source material requires it being a royalty au to do this, but either way!!! top fucking tier

fandom ask game thingy:P

[itsevanffs]

Hihi!! I've been hyperfixating on tommary lately and I absolutely loved (In the dark!)! I wanted to see if u have any tommary/harrymort fics that u recommend.. preferably ones that feature a possessive Tom ^^ ty in advance

I guess this would be the right time to publicly declare my bookmarks as open? Everything on there is a hard rec, and I vigorously quality-check those... for my liking and my liking only. (Sorry, not sorry. They're there for me, after all.)

That being said, hmm. I've got a few you might like.

Below the cut: more (additionally to my bookmarks) Tomarrymort (Tomarry or Harrymort) recommendations with possessive/obsessive Tom in alphabetical order; NOT order of how much I enjoy them. I'd argue I enjoy them all equally, just in different ways.

Ps: thank you! I'm incredibly flattered you liked my work :D

and don't let the police know anything by littlecupkate https://archiveofourown.org/works/24920947

Ted Dirlod is dangerous, Harry Potter knows this for a fact, but the man was still his only hope at escaping a doomed fate. It is never wise to blackmail a crime lord. It is even more unwise(?) when said crime lord is obsessed with you. An expanded version of "praying to whatever's in heaven, please send me a felon"

Genuinely lovely? Ticks all my boxes, at least, and minimal angst, which is always a plus. That being said, you should probably read the work mentioned in the summary as well for context. But hey. Two cakes by one person ;) Can never go wrong, can it?

As Certain Dark Things Are to be Loved by Strange_Soulmates https://archiveofourown.org/works/6015619

Tom was Harry's best friend growing up and his first love. At eight, Harry gave Tom his first kiss before moving away. As a freshman in college, the name of the RA on the door across the hall is terribly familiar.

Also absolutely deliciously indulgent. Tom is a possessive terror and Harry loves him for it. Need I say more?

Harry Potter and the Search for Ancient Magic (series) by Snickerdoodlepop https://archiveofourown.org/series/1133141

Once Voldemort realizes that Harry Potter is his horcrux, his plans change drastically. So does Draco Malfoy's assignment for the school year. Harry's sixth year starts going very differently. Snape is on a mission. Harry needs to learn pureblood politics. Draco Malfoy is trying to convince Harry to forgive him. Voldemort finds himself visiting Harry Potter in his dreams. Everyone is realizing that no one is quite what they thought. And through it all, there's a mystery. What is Ancient Magic? Can Harry use it to save himself or will it pull him toward the dark side?

Honestly, genuinely, hands down the best fucking tomarrymort series I've ever read. Hard, hard rec from here. The first work is completed and the second is in progress, so it's a nice pile of words to chew through!

can't commit to anything but a crime by caelesti https://archiveofourown.org/works/27286483

Excitement is the word he does not dare utter, even in the privacy of his own mind. It’s wrong, he knows. These women are people, in their own right; people with fears and aspirations, with friends and families and dreams, and to have anything cut those lives short is nothing but tragic. To have anyone cut those lives short is nothing but condemnable. He doesn’t have James Potter’s laugh lines, but he does have his father’s innate flair for danger. He doesn’t have Lily Potter’s enthusiasm, but he does have her insatiable curiosity. (In every world, Harry will excel at finding the biggest spot of trouble available and sticking his nose in it.)

Hot serial killer serial killer hot. That's it, those are the thoughts. Please read.

Dripping Fingers by May_May_0_0 https://archiveofourown.org/works/25440826

When Harry finds Tom Riddle's diary he does not write 'Hello.' He does not write anything at all. He draws. Tom Riddle falls in love with the artwork. _________________ Sketch by sketch, drawing by drawing, the ink Harry pours into the diary manifests as creations in Tom's monochrome world.

Okay so if I'm the reincarnation of Shakespeare, May_May_0_0 is fucking... Ted Hughes. Which doesn't say much to your average viewer but that man wrote my favourite poem ever (the one I based my war fic off) and I hold him in very high regard. This story? It is poetry in its rawest form. Pure, condensed beauty. If you decide to read only one of the fics in this list, please choose this one.

Either must die at the hand of the other by Metalomagnetic https://archiveofourown.org/works/29356095

Voldemort survives the Battle of Hogwarts because Harry Potter had not been the one to kill him, as the prophecy demands.

When is Metalomagnetic not a master of words? When will I cease becoming breathless at every paragraph, at every cleverly twisted word that comes back and reveals itself so beautifully later?

Fine Line by galaxiesundone https://archiveofourown.org/works/26949952

Magic always leaves traces. The lingering darkness of Sectumsempra, combined with Harry’s nature as a horcrux, awakens the soul piece contained within Ravenclaw’s diadem. At twenty years old, Tom Riddle walks a fine line between man and monster, the devil and the light-bringer in one. His influence forces Harry to face an ancient enemy unlike anything he has faced before: temptation.

Long story short: Tom Riddle is Hot and Good At Being Hot and Harry truly doesn't stand a chance and I am here for it. Lord help me I love this fic to pieces.

Good Intentions by Strange_Soulmates https://archiveofourown.org/works/7035334

Five year old Harry Potter meets and befriends a seventeen year old Tom Riddle while hanging out at his dad’s station. James Potter decides to take Tom under his wing, using Tom’s connection with Harry to try and keep the teen grounded, even as he begins to investigate the Death Eaters, a dangerous organized crime group and their mysterious leader only known as Lord Voldemort.

The sheer potential of this fic. The horrible, terrible dread of future events that have yet to be revealed. I will cry.

Honey, Smoke, Shiver by machiavelli https://archiveofourown.org/works/16068062

Harry - Omega, only son of Lord Potter - is nothing more than a useful playing card in a political game of power and money, one that is bought by the famed Tom Riddle: powerful, dangerous, pureblood Alpha. Unsurprisingly, Harry loves being underestimated.

Machiavelli is always a rec from me. Sorry lads but that's the way it is. Never a moment where I won't recommend their stuff.

Sickly-Sweet Obsession by maquira https://archiveofourown.org/works/18259103

Quiet, studious Tom Riddle spends his first year thirsting after an older student—Gryffindor’s Quidditch Captain, Harry Potter. His crush is common knowledge, and even Harry finds it cute… at first. Possessiveness spawns monstrosities. Tom does all within his power to mess with Harry’s dating life. And one seemingly harmless crush spirals into something darker, begetting deadly consequences.

Again; the potential. Delicious. This will bloom into something beautifully twisted, I'm sure of it.

Stars, Hide Your Fires by Audair https://archiveofourown.org/works/27745546

Riddle’s undivided attention snapped to him with the swiftness of shattering glass. His turbulent magic receded from where it had besieged the shop. "You,” he breathed. Coiling in leisurely motions, the eager tendrils of his magic reached for Harry, swathing about his limbs and neck and chest with a liquid, flowing fascination. "I’ve been looking for you,” Riddle continued, tilting his head to the side and sweeping his gaze over Harry. It was an appraisal that felt simultaneously like the raking of iron nails and the tender drapery of silk. It was so familiar, and yet… so foreign. In the winding streets of Knockturn Alley, an intricate dance of mutual obsession unravels between twenty-three-year-old Tom Riddle and a time-travelling Harry Potter.

This work has recently been undergoing a rewrite, and I can tell you with certainty it's only gotten better for it. It's beautiful; the setting, the atmosphere, the vibes... Perfection. Captures Knockturn Alley's mood impeccably and does not disappoint a single moment.

the pleasure, the privilege by asterisms https://archiveofourown.org/works/21227528

It begins with Vernon Dursley's body, dead across the table. In which Voldemort is dosed with amortentia, and nothing is better for it.

Completed, terrifying... and gorgeous.

The Shrike (to your sharp and glorious thorn) by PaperWorlds https://archiveofourown.org/works/22380079

Shrike: A songbird with a sharply hooked bill, known for their habit of catching insects and small vertebrates and impaling their bodies on thorns, the spikes on barbed-wire fences, or any available sharp point. A young Harry Potter survives an attack by notorious serial killer Voldemort. Over a decade later, they meet again.

Lads I'm so desperate for an update from this fic that I might cry if I think about it for too long. I keep saying it and I'll say it again; this is one of those fics with amazing potential that are sure to never disappoint no matter what path they take. An incredibly hard rec.

To Raise a Servant by bluegrass https://archiveofourown.org/works/19780816

Tom had found the boy amidst pouring rain. He figured he'd always wanted a pet snake.

Surprisingly not quite as dark as the summary makes it seem? I certainly enjoyed it, though, and that's why it's on this list.

What He Grows To Be by Severus_divides_into_H https://archiveofourown.org/works/19042240

Tom Riddle is a frightening coil of darkness, cruelty, and greatness, and changing him is Harry’s only hope for saving people he loves. Going back in time, he takes Tom from the orphanage, but his optimism shatters with every year they spend together. Tom still longs for darkness. Tom stifles him in his possessiveness. Tom is fixated on him to the point of destroying the world just to keep him. But Harry loves him. And the future changes.

Beautiful. And absolutely terrifying. I've started crying mid-scene at least three times for this fic, and it honestly seems unfathomable if you haven't read it if you're on my profile, since I think this is one of the fics that have shaped my style and ambitions. It is what I aspire to be.

[madam-miss-fortune]

I was like you a while back. I drifted from Drarry and went to Tomarry. Now I don't even ship Drarry anymore.

Soooo, there are a lot of communities on FF.net with a lot good starting fics. Or good fics in general. Also, you can scroll through the ao3 tags. If you're just starting, first go to these tags in order:

Tom Riddle/Harry Potter

Tom Riddle | Voldemort/Harry Potter

Voldemort/Harry Potter

There's kind of a difference, so go in that order. Filter stuff that you want. There's an awesome collection. To this day, I do still believe that ao3's tag system is ingenious. If you want more, there are a few authors I can recommend you to who have awesome fics.

They're all on ao3, by the way.

MonsieurClavier (They have an amazing fic titled "Heir Apparent" and it's my favourite ever written work to date. It isn't finished yet, but they used to update regularly before they got an injury. They're still working on writing a backlog of chapters and healing. But even though the fic isn't finished, you won't regret reading. And they already got to chapters of another Tomarry fic which is actually an ABO au which is done extremely well for the genre. With most hated tropes, the key to getting people to like it is in the execution. And their execution/wordbuilding is extremely good for only two chapters. And Harry is still our Harry, more or less. And Tom isn't the Voldemort who murdered Harry's parents. Since, you know, it's an au. Tom is also DADA professor. Or just became one)

Anna_Hopkins (They're pretty...hated by the fandom, for lack of a better term, for reasons I won't get into, but from the comments they've replied to others and me, they seem nice enough. And I really can't bring myself to stop reading their fics. The Dark Livestream series is amazing. All of their fics are. Give them a read.)

Ethril (Read Snake Scales and Serpent Tails. It's fucking amazing. And they update every Monday. And you got 200,000+ words to read right now anyway.)

Duplicity (They have all the fluffy stuff)

Cybrid (A Dangerous Game is ongoing and awesome)

KaedeRavensdale (They have awesome fics)

Jessiikaa15 (Read it)

Ellionne

Exarite

Lerya

galaxiesundone

Gwendal_Wincott

Maeglin_Yedi

Temptresslove

ToAStranger

TomarryHereWeWhoaAgain

Penmanner

Give all of these authors a try. Actually, go to them first than anything else I've said. They're all among my favourites. And a lot of them have Tumblrs. Here's a trick to find the link to it: most of them post the link/name of their blog in the notes of their fics, so just press "Entire Work", then go to that "find in page" button that you probably have somewhere and search for Tumblr. 10/10 you'll find out easily enough if they got Tumblr.

And before you ask, yes I really, really love Tomarry. I have read every Tomarry fic worth a damn in my mind. Which is a shitton. And honestly, I'm not even sure if I'm joking or not. I've only started reading Tomarry in late 2019. Bloody hell.... 😥 I'm obsessed. I already scrolled through all the fics in the ao3 tags and now I search through the tags every week for a new bunch of fics.

Heyy, I’ve recently drifted from the drarry to the tomarry ship and was wondering if you or anyone you know has a tomarry masterlist? Doesn’t matter if not I was just curious! Thanks

anyone have a link, maybe?

[itsevanffs]

1, 4, 5, 11, 14, 21, 24, 27?

1. Favourite fic you wrote this year:

Already answered, but Anabiosis and/or Oedipus fic.

4. Total number of words you wrote this year:

Hold on gonna consult my fic data spreadsheet again

203974 words, not including the ones I am writing right now for Anabiosis. So, 204k. Give or take. Including what I have recovered and transcribed, etc. -realises- Jesus, I doubled my wordcount this year.

5. Most popular fic this year:

Not including Little Dove, going off hits it would be In The Dark; going off kudos it would also be In The Dark, going off comments it is also In The Dark, bookmarks too, and with subs it's a close win for In The Dark over ETWM. So, shortly, In The Dark is my most popular fic. Shocker :P

11. Fandom you enjoyed writing for most this year:

Harry Potter, I think, since that is the only fandom I have actively written for this year wheeze

14. A fic you didn't expect to write:

Also answered, ETWM

21. Most memorable comment/review

Literally any time someone Big TM (like metalomagnetic) comes into my house and leaves a comment. I die every time. Penmanner, too, and galaxiesundone, and good lord almighty I can never get over it. It's insane. I go absolutely feral each time

24. Favourite fic you read this year:

Alright alright I'll go look at my bookmarks. But it's probably Temporal Displacement by Dangereuse. I'm sorry I'm just so fucking gay for the premise. Either that or Honey Propolis. The main theme of this year's 'Evan Reads' is porn

27. Favourite fanfic author of the year:

Easy. @metalomagnetic :D (sorry, Divida. Next year?)
