[sugareey-makes-stuff]

If you're looking for more recs, you can find a fave fic under 5k, a comfort fic and a rare pair fic under 2k all in this post! Without further ado, feel feel to give these some love or add them to your TBR list!

Day 10- A Fest Fic

collarbones like a bow, skin an arrow to the heart by @lqtraintracks | lq_traintracks (written for HP Bodice Ripper 2023, Ginsy, E, 4k)

Gin’s adjusting the lighting for their next shoot when in walks the new model Luna was so enthusiastic about, and that’s when they know they’re in deep shit.

This fic blew my mind when I first read it because it's strong and sexy with UST. It's definitely spicy too, but the banter we get from Gin and Pansy it's spot-on. Every moment in this fic hits like a punch. The flow is great, and I really appreciate the use of pronouns and the genderfluidity that's offered. And well, in this world alone...it's almost like anything is possible. The attraction and sex are there, and that's honestly what matters. *chef's kiss*

Day 13- A Fic With Over 100k Words

Licurici by @lou-isfake | louisfake (Harry/Draco/Charlie, E, 133k)

Charlie wanted Harry, but he’d never planned on having him. He’d never planned on Draco Malfoy, either. He hadn’t planned on anything but living out his days in Romania, with his friends and his dragons and his safe, peaceful distance. Apparently, it wasn’t a very popular plan. This is a story about crumbs and flickers and roots, running away and coming home; about falling in love without meaning to (twice), and having truly good friends, and the mutually revealing recognition between two people in love with the same man.

The summary pretty much sums it up. I love how this fic gives us a deep perspective into Charlie's life that we don't usually see, and the worldbuilding is phenomenal. The friendships and romance are very real, people fail to communicate and misunderstandings happen. Everyone really needs a hug, they all make mistakes, but in the end, things work out. I love Charlie's interactions with Draco, and then Harry, because they're different but they're so natural. This fic is lovely and such a breath of fresh air. If you want a fic you can binge overnight and feel All The Feels, please go give this a read!

Day 19- A Fic With The Hottest Smut

Built Like An Angel, Six Feet Tall by Rozarka (Millicent/Cormac, E, 7.1k)

Millicent is sure that Cormac is only out to make her look like an idiot with his flirting and innuendo, so she keeps an icy distance. Then, one night at a seminar, he somehow manages to goad her into the hotel swimming pool with him…

Soo, this is a gem not only because it's for a rare pair, but the UST and snark between Millicent and Cormac is sooo delicious. I did not know I needed this ship until I read this fic, and I was like oh. They've got a good energy together, and it translates very well when they do get things on. They have no problem with action, bite or talkin' dirty, that's for sure! And everything gets hot and wet very fast!🔥😉

[thistlecatfics]

Unwritten by @inamamagic with art by @fantalfart (M, 83k, Ginny/Pansy)

In which Pansy tries to figure out whether she deserves love and forgiveness while dancing around her feelings for a certain red-headed Quidditch player.

Seriously this fic is SO GOOD. The world building is impeccable, and the themes of healing from trauma and loving imperfect people imperfectly are so well-done. 

Come for the magical history and romance, stay for the thick and intricate friendships and complicated family dynamics and loving people who do bad things. 

And the art! Come for gorgeous butch/femme love <3

July Fic Recs (HP edition)

I have mostly been reading short fics this month because life is stressful, but short is sweet, right?

What Works For Us by flightinflame (T, 1.8k, Draco/Harry) Scorpius wants to have short hair. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to have his hair cut. This is a short one, but so lovely and considerate and it gives me all the fuzzies!! Especially loved the hair clips.

Hints and Starts by nocturn (T, 1.8k, Remus/Severus) A collection of drabbles, and they’re all so good! It’s perfectly snack-sized for when you just need a tiny hit of Snupin to get through the day.  

Hell and other places by Tepre (M, 2.5k, Draco/Harry) Draco and Harry are investigating a haunted AirBnB - this fic is a wild ride start to finish and I absolutely adored it. A getting-together fic at breakneck speed, with absolutely hilarious levels of chaos. 

The infallible strength of darkness by @squintclover (M, 3.1k, Draco/Harry) A soft and lovely 8th-year fic around sleeplessness and the beauty and terror of darkness. The whole story feels like a nice cup of tea and a soft blanket. 

Unwritten by @fantalfart and inamamagic (E, 80k, Pansy/Ginny) One of the few long fics I’ve read this month, this one was a complete surprise to me. I hadn’t really read any Pansy-centric fics before, so I didn’t know what to expect but BOY this was glorious. The analysis of wizarding society is nuanced and poignant, and doesn’t distract from such a compelling romance between two women who’ve had to be strong for too long.

[danpuff-ao3]

If there's anything I love, it's -- well, Snarry. But I'm also very fond of holiday fics! Which is why I've written so many of them!

There is a sort of magic during the holiday season. The music. The food. The movies that are so bad they're actually kinda good. It's the cold weather and the hot chocolate. It's the excuse to cuddle up and be at peace.

It's the winding down of another year. It's coming together with family and friends. It's an excuse to celebrate and have fun, whatever your beliefs are.

Most of all, it's the infectious cheer. The whimsy, the fairytales. The comfort and joy. Singing and dancing. Gift giving. Baking. The decorating. It's being joyful, and sharing that joy.

And so...holiday stories. A lot of fluff. A lot of romance and family. A smidge of angst (because I can't quite help myself.) And, most of all, all are pure self-indulgence on my part. It's just me, leaning into my love of the holidays, and hoping part of that festivity touches someone else.

Happy Christmas, Potters

Companion piece to The Pink Prank.

The Green Dress

AO3 Wrapped - 15 rare pair recs

God bless the rare pairs! I haven’t read much in 2023 but what I’ve read definitely left a lasting impression on me. The @dronarryfest stole the show alongside some delicious Kinkuary treats, but I’m happy that I found time to explore wlw and one or two new ships. A massive shoutout to these incredible creators for sharing brilliant works with us. Please give them some love! Here's to a wonderful 2024 with more rare pair galore 🥂

💍 Something Old, Something New by @indigo-scarf (T, 3k) - Draco/Goyle

queerplatonic relationship | weddings | fluff

Draco said he would marry Goyle if they ended up single.

⚖️ One or the Other by @sleepstxtic (E, 3k) - Dorcas/Narcissa, Dorcas/Marlene

war fic | spy Dorcas | infidelity

Dorcas becomes a murderer at eight o’clock on a Friday night.

🛏️ The Roommates by @citrusses (E, 3.6k) - Sirius/Draco, endgame Drarry

rough sex | voyeurism | light D/s

Harry would later wonder if, that first time it happened, he hadn’t been meant to find out all along.

📷 collarbones like a bow, skin an arrow to the heart by @lqtraintracks (E, 4k) - Ginsy

non-binary Ginny | UST | Daddy kink

Gin’s adjusting the lighting for their next shoot when in walks the new model Luna was so enthusiastic about, and that’s when they know they’re in deep shit.

🪢 As We Tremble and We Bleed by @lqtraintracks (E, 6k) - Harry/Teddy

angst with a happy ending | infidelity (Hinny) | family dynamics

Or: Everybody commits angsty-hot adultery, is mostly miserable, and then finds happiness.

💧Boy Wonder by @maesterchill (E, 6k) - Dronarry

getting together | threesome | dacryphilia

Ron Weasley is a people guy. Gets on well with others, loves to socialise. Despite that, he can never figure people out. When Hermione reveals a very intimate secret about Harry, Ron begins to wonder about a few things.

♟️ Can't Start a Fire Without a Spark by @writcraft (E, 8k) - Ron/Harry

friends to lovers | jealousy | first time (Ron)

It’s getting harder to hear about Harry’s casual one-night stands, but Ron can’t work out why. He meets plenty of women, he wants his friend to be happy and it can’t be jealousy, because Ron is straight. Isn’t he?

🪶 Let Be, Let Be by @tackytigerfic (M, 10k) - Dronarry

established Drarry | Veela!Ron | jealousy | magical theory

Ron's never had a place to really call his own, so when the deeds to an ancient magical house in Bulgaria appear in his Gringotts vault, he ropes in his Curse-Breaker best friend (and his Curse-Breaker best friend's Field Healer boyfriend) to come and check the place out with him.

🐺 Stopper & Reeve by @vdoshu (E, 10k) - Drarry + Teddy

established Drarry | knotting | breeding kink | sex toys

Teddy gets his very first knot stuck in his fleshlight. And somehow that’s not the worst part of his day.

🐉 The Sun, Shining Above You by @oknowkiss (E, 14k) - Dronarry

dragon tamers Drarry | hurt/comfort | D/s undertones

Since joining up with the dragontamers, Draco counts his days in nights. Nights spent drinking in the commune mess, making poor choices he doesn't regret, for once. Nights he doesn't remember, and nights he wishes he could stop remembering.

🪴 Silhouettes by @sweet-s0rr0w (E, 17k) - Dronarry

established Rarry | sentient houses | grief | gardening

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

🧩 Things Remembered by avioleta (E, 17k) - Harry/Snape

memory loss | murder boyfriends | first time

Harry wakes up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar hotel room, and with absolutely no idea who he is. The man he’s in bed with has no memories either. But they think, maybe, they’re assassins, because they seem to be very good at killing people.

[broomsticks]

@nanneramma queen of RANGE, queen of rare ships, queen of big, big feelings in small moments. the hpsaffics summer exchange was the first time i got to read (and write for!) nan and it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT and i love that we’re both baby mods there now.

baNan is so caring and supportive and ridiculous and someone you can absolutely count on for ‘yes and.’ i love how fully you embrace everyone’s insanity uniqueness, and you brighten the day of everyone who’s fortunate enough to know you — well except mine the few times you manage to snipe beta requests out from under me. 💝

nan writes such a diversity of characters and ships and genres, and they’re all such gems that choosing was LEGIT TORTURE, BUT:

getting steamy in this hot sweltering greenhouse: Bloom • Neville/Blaise • 17k, E. fluff, angst, smut, pining, guilt, humor, friendship, there are a million feels in this one and nan hits all of them perfectly. p.s. my heart always for background ginsy. there’s also lots of exceedingly lovely and thoroughly well deserved comment love on this piece if you too are into perving on that XD

the loveliest little bit of warmth by the cold Scottish sea: Landlocked, Oceanbound • selkie!luna x pansy • 7.5k, T. both luna and pansy are brilliantly characterized here — luna with a perfect blend of serenity and strangeness, and pansy with just the right amount of guilt, hesitation, holding-back. nan has a way with descriptions and turns of phrase that’s just magical; the selkie au feels come through in every other line.

this one hurts. And All I Loved • Bellatrix character study • 5k, M. get into bellatrix’s dark desperate hauntingly lost mind, full of pain and horror, and feel for her!! such terrifying pictures here of her in the Forest, in Black Manor, in the Hogwarts halls, and eventually, to Voldemort.

best twist. Child's Play • George/Oliver • 2k, M. one of those fics i am truly struggling to come up with a rec for because there’s so MUCH in here! is it hopeful, exhilarating, excitement with our favorite quidditch boys, or is it uhhh not that? read it. you’ll feel things. you’re welcome.

‘read it. you’ll feel things. you’re welcome.’ x2. ad te omnis caro veniet • Pansy/Tom • 1.3k, M. "Pansy wants to finish her masterpiece. Tom helps her—for a price." no really i genuinely don’t know how to rec this. the buildup is impeccable. don’t let the tags put you off. you’re in good hands.

tiny bites of sheer heaven. i am tired, i am yours: saffics summer exchange double drabbles // 200 words, misc pairings and ratings. each and every one of these is perfection in a neat little package. such a range of pairings and feelings. some of my favorites: Menagerie (eighth year pansy/ginny flirting), Rather Have You (helga/rowena smut), and The Upper Hand (cho/ginny slow burn romance!! i stg! the buildup you manage to get in 200 words!)

for an explanation of why i just wrote you a whole ~thing~, check out this post & the ‘mutuals march’ tag below!

[ghaniblue]

In lieu of my 2022 favourites I give you a combined list of the recs that have slumbered in my drafts since mumble-mumble months. Mostly Drarry still, but this year I rediscovered the joy of rarepairs.

7x Drarry fics, 1x Drarry podfics, 4x non-Drarry fics

Fic - Drarry

on your heart by @maziktheli (Drarry, T, 10k)

Harry runs a successful Palestinian restaurant. Draco works at a small cultural magazine as a junior photographer. When Draco receives his dream assignment, their paths cross for the first time in a decade.

Service Bell by @shiftylinguini (Drarry, E, 9k)

Draco is: a werewolf, living in a cabin in the woods, minding his own business, and never going to buy plaid because he's not that much of a fucking cliche (yet). He's also counting down the days until he sees Harry again.

Whiskey tango foxtrot by @vukovich (Drarry, E, 59k)

“Potter,” Malfoy said with a slow smile. “You’re a trashy, new money slut.”

“Yeah? Maybe you like it.”

--

The worst thing about being the Golden Boy is the freebies. Free drinks. Easy sex. It’s all too easy.

The worst thing about being a Malfoy is the expectations. Marriage. Kids. It’s all so scripted.

Harry wants his arse kicked. Draco decides to grab life by the balls.

100 beats per minutes by @oknowkiss (Drarry, E, 14k)

When Draco left the Magical World behind at nineteen, he didn't expect the cusp of thirty would find him comfortable and secure, with a stable life and a successful career as a sex columnist. Stable, that is, until he meets the subject of his newest column -- a stranger calling himself James, who has dragged them both to Ibiza on a sex quest of epic proportions -- and everything Draco ever knew turns upside down all over again.

Desert Rose (Sex On The Beach Remix) by nerakrose (Drarry, T, 1,4k)

There are things about Draco that Harry doesn’t understand.

break my heart, set me free by @nv-md (Harry/Draco, Draco/Astoria, T, 4k)

Only Harry—impulsive, daring, and heartsick—can convince both Astoria and Draco to see the reality of their unhappy relationship. Can Astoria’s broken heart give her the courage to leave? Can Harry wait for Draco to admit his feelings for Harry are more than platonic? Can Draco forgive himself for hurting the two people he loves?

Preserving Lemons by @saintgarbanzo with art by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm (Drarry, E, 17k)

There's probably some immutable magical law that if someone steals your wand to destroy the century's most murderous maniac you then bump into that someone in Italy.

Harry is cooking food he couldn't care less about; Draco is making art he couldn't care more about. A story about kebabs, miniskirts and the way preservation can transform a lemon.

Fic Non-Drarry

Rest Your Head Close to My Heart by pauraque (Harry/Hermione, M, 3,5k)

It's almost time to wean her last child, and Hermione is thinking about what she's losing. Meanwhile, Harry is thinking about what he never had.

Rogue Waves by @lqtraintracks (Ginsy, E, 6,5k)

A story of living with the trauma, fucking who you want, and maybe finding a little solace.

Duty by @thistlecatfics (Regulus/Sirius, M, 2k)

Regulus knew what a duty was.

The Travelling Cabinet series by @the-paper-monkey (Tom/Draco, M, 46k)

Tom Riddle is locking up at Borgin and Burkes for the night when a boy comes tumbling through the filing cabinet. He claims to have come from 1997.

Podfic

Ship of Theseus read by @sweatersinthesummer written by GallaPlacidia (Darry, Teen, 1:46h)

When Harry gets amnesia and forgets he and Draco were ever married, he refuses treatment to remember.

[fw00shy]

getting to know me

thanks for the tag @skeptiquewrites 🩵🩵 tagging @floydig @sitp-recs (maybe writing can be writing recs??) @vukovich !!

three ships: drarry, ginsy, yashiro/doumeki

first ship: draco/blaise but cassandra clare’s blaise lol

last song: when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie THATS AMORE

last movie: to relearn chinese i watched a taiwanese movie about this homophobic police asshole who’s forced to marry a gay guy’s ghost and how they get justice on the gay guy’s murderer. it’s called MARRY MY DEAD BODY and it’s on netflix and it’s actually so heartwarming, i loved it.

currently reading: anne carson’s glass, irony, and god

last thing i wrote: slow days, bad habits from over a month ago at this point

currently writing: still writing that monsoon fic from years ago… for me it’s hard to pick up a fic when i’m not feeling the same i was when i started it. not sure if anyone else can relate. but what i care about and what worries me changes so frequently that i feel like a different me than the me who started that fic. and even though the fic is like 15k and has a finished plot i have no desire to see it through. it doesn’t feel like mine anymore. maybe that’s why i like microfics, my moods are so mercurial. anyway! all this to say, im not writing much these days!

[sugareey-makes-stuff]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💙

Hiya, friend! Thanks for sending this to me! This will probs be a mix of HP and TW (since I'm writing for both fandoms now), so here goes: Harry Potter: 🖊️ Where do we go from here? (Perciver, WIP series, G-T, 4/13 ficlets)

All the missing moments we didn’t get to see between Percy and Oliver. This is a one-shot fic series that explores their complicated journey of how they went from being friends, to friends with benefits, to eventual long-term lovers.

Okay, fine. This has 4 ficlets so far in this series, but I am soo proud of them all since this whole story arc was how I got back into writing again 2 years ago. Had it not been for this series, I definitely wouldn't be writing fic right now, and I owe it to Perciver for recharging and revamping my writing style to what it is today.

🖊️ Again and Again (Ginsy, E, 400 words)

Pansy never thought Ginny Weasley would get on her knees and go down on her in the Harpies’ locker room. But here they were, where anyone could see them.

This is a (spicy) drabble, and it was nice to write more sapphics fic this year. I love the energy between Ginny and Pansy, and it was a fun challenge to write something that captured the heat of a moment (with a hell lotta kinks) in so few words. Definitely a mission accomplished!

🖊️ Love you (for the rest of my life) (Deamus, 12-part microfic series, G-E, 600 words)

You're all my strength and my weakness, and that's when I knew you were the one... A collection of microfics that captures and highlights missing moments over the years between Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas.

It has been a hot minute since I wrote anything for Dean and Seamus, so I'm glad I got to write something fun for them during Microfic May! I feel like there are so many perspectives we haven't seen, so it just made sense to capture a glimpse of moments as friends who become eventual lovers. Each microfic can also be read individually under the tag #love you for the rest of my life.

Teen Wolf:

🖊️ Made From Scratch (Sterek, T, 2k)

Derek missed Stiles. He hadn’t realized how much…until now. Something had to change. But where did he even start? [Or: That one time Derek makes dinner for Stiles, thanks to inspiration from a family recipe and some nudging from Cora.]

I'm really proud of this one since a. I wrote this in 2 weeks for an exchange, b. the requirement was 2k max or less, and c. it was my first time writing in Derek's PoV. I loved doing all the cooking research and adding some Hale roots. Derek is so soft, even though he tries to deny it. Also, sibling dynamics ftw!

🖊️ Feel You Breathing (Sterek, E, 8.4k)

Derek: So, you need a distraction. Stiles: Maybe Stiles: It’d be better if you were here to help me with that. Stiles: ;D [Or: Sexy things start late one night when Derek gets a text from Stiles and escalate from there. A few secrets are revealed along the way.]

I just posted this fic up last week, but I'm reccing it (again) since it's my first text fic ever, it's stylized with a skin (but can also be read in plain text), and it's the longest thing I've written since I started writing again. This was my biggest writing challenge to date because it took 3 attempts to write a text fic. I had lots of fun making Stiles and Derek banter and choosing all the emojis though. It was such a different way of writing dialogue only (and much harder to code than I thought, heh). So worth it though!

Pansy: ‘Jesus. Bloody Gryffindor. You’re not meant to say that stuff out loud.’

My most popular fic, by far, is Right Hand Red. I feel guilty even mentioning it because it gets plenty of attention without me drawing more to it. I will never not be stunned by how popular and well-loved this fic is. It’s currently at 586,000 hits and sneaking up on 30,000 kudos. I never imagined this sort of response in my wildest dreams. Anyway, it posted in January of 2015, it’s eighth year (my version of an eighth book, minus the epilogue in the seventh), party games, Drarry (obv.), with exquisite art by Iwao. Here’s the summary:

Harry felt Malfoy's breath on his lips as they came together over the bottle, hands firmly planted on the floor as though they each needed their familiar soil, refusing to cross into enemy territory.

Except that Malfoy no longer felt like his enemy.

Malfoy felt inevitable.

Now, for a couple of ‘hidden gems’, though to be fair I’m still very happy with the response of the people who have read these two. They may have less hits, but the comments on them have been a complete joy to get. Both are rarepair, one femslash, and the femslash is rated M (my femslash does way better when it’s E, go figure.) But it’s a verrrrry sexy M, let me just say that!

So yes, Nice Blouse is Pansy/Ginny (Ginsy), written in February of this year (2022) and only 485 words, which I know is also not to everyone’s tastes. But boy does this little ficlet sizzle! I mean, there’s tit-sucking in public, okay? The summary:

Tequila shots in a queer bar. Things heat up fast.

(Man, I need to write some more Ginsy before the year ends, for sure.)

like the lost lyrics of a song suddenly remembered was published in 2018 and is endgame Teddy/James but contains a lot of explicit Teddy/Bill along the way. Teddy is in his 50s, a rockstar, and oh yeah he’s got some werewolf tendencies. Maybe it’s his age that puts people off this fic? (There are also flashbacks to sexy times when he was 17, so maybe it’s partly that? LOL somehow he’s both too old and too young in this fic!) Maybe it’s the rarepair “competing” with the Jeddy, though I think Teddy loves them in different ways and he certainly loves James more. It’s hard to say why it’s not more popular (there’s some really adorable background old Drarry, y’all), but again, the people that have read it have blown me away with their response, so I’m not complaining, just speculating here. Did I mention there’s knotting?? The summary:

Teddy Lupin, aging rockstar, is making a comeback after his life and career were nearly ruined by an illegal potions habit. Everyone's out to support him tonight. Including the man he's always tried so hard not to love -- as well as the man he's always turned to instead.

This was fun! I think I’ll tag @the-starryknight @skeptiquewrites @ruinsplume @magpiefngrl @lettersbyelise @maesterchill @phd-mama @amywaterwings and @xanthippe74
