“I ran into Harry Styles recently, I’m all smitten, ‘cause he was nice to me and my husband— it was my husband’s birthday. He came up and he said hello to my husband, separately. And I was like ‘Easy, Harry Styles, MY husband, hello! See which finger I’m pointing with?’ [points to his ring finger with his middle finger]”

Happy Drawtober!! Day 1: Necromancy

All of mine will not be to this level as that would probably be way too daunting, but since it’s the weekend I can commit a little more effort to my prompts for sure 🫠✨ I had quite a few ideas of where to take this and I’m really happy with the finished drawing.

I dunno, Draco, was it really all worth it?

They had their son, Scout, in March 2021. Fatherhood has changed a lot of aspects of Rowland’s life. Having to deal with the logistics of starting a family with two tour-musician parents may seem daunting but their close relationship with Styles helped alleviate a lot of that. “When it got tricky logistically, [Harry] always said, ‘Don't let me be the reason you don't have a kid if you want to have a kid.’ He would talk about it more than we would talk about it,” Rowland says. “When we did, he gave us our own tour bus without us asking so we could just have our own space. He's made life as good as it can be for traveling around and doing huge shows and being away for months at a time.”

Nothing Like the Sun by Lomonaaeren

Harry finally realizes that he has trouble keeping lovers both because of his looks and because he isn’t very good at sex. He does what he can to alter that, but it seems he’s never going to be good enough to satisfy a wizard lover. When Draco Malfoy offers, Harry thinks a casual relationship with him might be the solution to his problems. But he should have remembered one thing: when it comes to Harry, Malfoy has a problem staying casual. Rec Post

And Still I Dream by greenmegsnoham, Yoro_Kobi @greenmegsnoham  @gaudium6191

Draco was beyond frustrated with the school’s preferential treatment of sports programs over the arts. Determined to collect what is due, Draco must come toe to toe with the ever incessant thorn-in-his-side, Varsity Basketball Captain, Harry Potter. Though Draco may not receive the financial support he’d been hoping for, he just might get a boyfriend out of it instead… OR When you Dream a Dream, it just may come true… Rec Post

Curiosity, Wonder, Spontaneous Delight by cloudings

After Harry hears some rumours about Malfoy, he becomes more and more curious until he just has to get some answers. Malfoy is more than prepared to give him anything he needs, just as long as he gets something back in return. Harry’s not sure why he’s surprised that it’s something moderately illegal. In which Ron continues to get far too many eyefuls, Hermione has had quite enough with everybody, and Harry’s not sure why enemies to friends to friends with benefits isn’t enough for him. OR Harry becomes incredibly curious, and somewhere along the line ends up accidentally falling in love with Draco Malfoy. Because of course he bloody would. Rec Post

Romp and Circumstance by wolfpants @wolfpants

Since the war, Harry Potter has gone from Saviour to Scoundrel—not that he’s complaining. With a schedule full of gorgeous men, alcohol, and late nights, why would he want to change? Enter Draco Malfoy: beautiful, sharp, and completely untouchable. When Draco comes to Harry with a proposition to help him attract an engagement, Harry’s up for it—after all, how hard can it be not falling for his former nemesis? Very hard, apparently. Rec Post

A Shower, A Meal, A Nap, and A Shag by chickenlivesinpumpkin

Harry’s supposed to be alone in Grimmauld Place…so why is there a Malfoy in his shower? And what’s Harry going to do about it? Rec Post

Sunseeker by shiftylinguini @shiftylinguini

Harry is a struggling writer. Namely, he is struggling with: writing his next book, dealing with his agent, finding a decent tea strainer, fielding his friend’s concern over the aforementioned book, and figuring out who the cat loitering in his garden belongs to. He also has a slight liking-Malfoy problem. Okay, he has a massive liking-Malfoy problem. Rec Post

A Life Worth Remembering by Writcraft @writcraft

Severus Snape wakes in St Mungo’s, to discover that a potions accident has wiped the last forty years from his body and mind. Just twenty-five years old, Severus is reliant on Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, now both in their forties, to help him fill in the missing decades. As Severus tries to navigate a much-changed world, Harry and Draco struggle with a secret of their own. Rec Post

New Message by Mosrael @mosrael

Harry Potter has a crush on his roommate–like, a BIG one–but he can’t say anything to him, can he?! Naturally, he does what any early 2000s young adult would do and asks the internet for help, and gets a lot more back than he expected. Rec Post

Life skills outside the curriculum by Endrina @llendrinall

It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse. Rec Post

Howlr by partialtopotter @partialtopotter

Howlr is the new dating application enchanting Witches, Wizards and Everyone in between. Are you looking for the one or a one-night stand; it’s all here folks. Howlr is sponsored by Weasley Wizard Wheezes, the same team that brought us the Spellular just two years ago. Ginny Weasley, famed chaser for the Hollyhead Harpies, swears by the app, ‘guaranteed to make sparks fly,’ she says. The magic awaits you!

where all the veins meet by eight_of_wands @saxamophone

It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now? His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum. As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too. Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.

The Secret's in the Telling by Verayne @veraynes-blog

Draco Malfoy suffers the unthinkable when he is turned into a werewolf. How is he supposed to live any kind of life afterwards, especially when Potter continues to stick his unwanted nose into things?

Wherever You Go, There You Are by Anonymous for hd-fan-fair/HD Career Fair 2023

Four years after the War, Harry still fights to save the wizarding world. Only, he’s traded prophecies and duels for fundraising and politicking. Worried that he’s burning himself out, his friends sign him up for a week-long muggle relaxation retreat in the mountains of Snowdonia. The last thing he expects to find there is Draco Malfoy, his old school rival, working as a yoga instructor. How on earth is he supposed to learn to relax when Malfoy’s meant to teach him? Rec Post

Connecting Lines, Connecting Crimes by Anonymous for hd-fan-fair/HD Career Fair 2023

Magic is going haywire after ley lines all over the world are mysteriously failing. A cross-border Task Force is set up by the League of Wixen Nations with Expert Cartologist Draco Malfoy and Ley Line Specialist Pansy Parkinson being called in from Britain to work with Magi-Geographers Harry Potter and Parvati Patil in India. But can they get to the root of the issue before it’s too late? Rec Post

[notoriousbeb]

This reading from Oct. 16 is about Harry’s future spouse (I love these).

She encourages him to embrace the unknown and question the establishment.

She also wants him to listen to his body and trust himself when he needs rest and time away and to let go of things from his past and childhood that might have held him back.

Her characteristics: She’s okay with operating outside expectations; she switches up her look from time to time (white hair, green eyes and dark lip stick); she colors outside the lines intentionally in terms of creativity.

Their relationship is about major spiritual lessons for both of them, and inspires them to be motivated and creative.

She may need to move around a lot or experience new places when they were younger and now for their job. She also recreates her identity/reinvent herself. She uses her life experiences to grow.

She’s very confident in who she is and what she wants.

The afterlife and spiritual concepts intrigue her.

She’s very resourceful and self-made in pursuing her passions.

Sometimes, things haven’t come easy for her. Could be why she has had to be so resourceful. She’s always been going after what she wants.

She is very creative and imaginative. She’s likely in the entertainment industry. It’s tied in with her belief that life is a mystery and exploring the “what if’s” in life.

She might have been raised in a strict or rule-abiding household with a sense that it doesn’t matter what you’re born into, because if you embrace your passion that’s what matters.

While she hasn’t had it easy all the time, she’s been very fortunate, on the whole, because she’s worked so hard and not let other people tell her how to dream.

Their relationship requires Harry to adapt and accept things as they come and understanding how he or they need to change and embrace life experiences, transforming confusion and fear into a sense of personal power.

She can be guarded with her heart. She can’t let everyone into her world or inner circle.

They’re going to be able to have a smooth relationship, because they’re going to be able to communicate well from a place of knowing themselves and knowing what needs to be shared.

Currently, she’s definitely being guarded and busy connecting with her higher purpose.

She’s someone who is passionate, outspoken, and not afraid to go after what she wants. She also wants to help others do that, too.

What she offers the world: she’s an example of taking up space and being in touch with your own dreams and desires and abilities and not letting other people make you back down.

She has a lot of masculine energy (confidence, knowing who she is, having life experience to know what she’s talking about). She’s a leader who takes care of herself financially. A lot of fire energy—she could be a fire sign (I’m sorry guys, but this is all a Ms. Swift).

She could act, produce, have her own business (yes, yes, and yes).

She’s okay being the center of attention and gossip. She just does her thing anyway. What’s important to her is trusting herself and the people she lets into her life.

She is all about transformations (back to the white hair, green eyes and dark lip stick…Bleachella, is that you?).

She pushes the envelope and creates a stir—something that can be shocking to others—that makes her even more powerful and in the lime light.

The reader feels like Harry’s FS is in the spotlight, and there’s a lot of news articles about them.

During our meal, Rowland jokes about being late to artists (Nick Drake is one of his main examples), which explains why he didn’t know a lot about Styles or One Direction or his general pop-culture magnitude when he walked into that session. He approached it in the same way he would collaborate with anyone. “It was four or five guys drinking beer, recording,” Rowland recalls. “It was just hanging out. And I think he wasn't used to that. For him to sit back and have some fun doing it with people he didn't know was maybe something he hadn't done in a while.”

October Femslash Prompts

Microfic prompts for any HP femslash pairing These prompts can be taken and interpreted every which way you want, including changing the tense or pronouns or order of any dialogue. You do not have to stick with what might be the most straightforward association, and every individual prompt post will include a few suggestions to get you started.

All these prompts can be combined with other events (as long as they also allow you to combine prompts)!

If inspiration strikes, you are still allowed to write for any of the previous prompts!

The rules for this event can be found here, the previously submitted fics are all here and in this collection on AO3, and if you want to search them by ship you can do so here!

IMPORTANT NOTE: This will be the last month of sapphic microfics, at least for the foreseeable future! There will be no new prompts for the next months, but you're welcome to write for all of the posted prompts anyway!

Sapphic Microfics is hosted by @hpsaffics, whose discord server holds a specific channel where these prompts and the incoming fics are excitedly discussed, so if you’re looking for people to talk about these and the rest of June’s prompts with, check them out!
